However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0021] Example 1, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a respiratory training device for geriatric patients, including a three-way tube 1. Each of the three ends of the three-way tube 1 has annular screw grooves 2. At each of the three ends of the three-way tube 1, and within the annular screw grooves 2, a fixed nozzle 3, a vertical cylinder 4, and a horizontal cylinder 5 are respectively fitted and threadedly connected.

A second fan plate 14 is fixedly connected inside the toothed ring 13. A fixed fan plate 15 is fixedly connected inside the horizontal cylinder 5 and located on one side of the second fan plate 14. A rotating rod 16 is rotatably connected through the center of the fixed fan plate 15 and bearing. One end of the rotating rod 16 is fixedly connected to the second fan plate 14. A protrusion 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal cylinder 5. A vertical rod 18 is rotatably connected through the center of the protrusion 17 and bearing. A bevel gear 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical rod 18. The bevel gear 19 meshes with the L-shaped beveled toothed ring 13. Air inlets 22 are symmetrically opened on the surface of the horizontal cylinder 5 near one end.

[0022] The overall effect of embodiment 1 is as follows: A ring-shaped screw groove 2 is provided at each of the three ends of the three-way pipe 1. A fixed sleeve 3, a vertical cylinder 4, and a horizontal cylinder 5 are respectively fitted and threaded into and connected to the three ends of the three-way pipe 1 within the ring-shaped screw groove 2. This allows the fixed sleeve 3, vertical cylinder 4, and horizontal cylinder 5 to be fitted and threaded into or out of the ring-shaped screw groove 2. A fan hole 6 is symmetrically provided at the bottom of the vertical cylinder 4. A circular cavity 7 is provided on the inner wall of the fan hole 6. A first fan plate 8 is embedded inside the circular cavity 7, allowing the first fan plate 8 to rotate and close or adjust the size of the fan hole 6. A ball 10 is embedded inside the vertical cylinder 4, allowing the ball 10 to move up and down within the vertical cylinder 4. An L-shaped annular groove 12 is provided on the inner wall of the horizontal cylinder 5. An L-shaped conical toothed ring 13 is embedded and rotatably connected inside the L-shaped annular groove 12. A second fan plate 14 is fixedly connected inside the L-shaped conical toothed ring 13. The second fan plate 14 is located inside the horizontal cylinder 5. A fixed fan plate 15 is fixedly connected to one side of plate 14, which can drive the second fan plate 14 to rotate by the L-shaped conical toothed ring 13. The rotation of the second fan plate 14 can close the edge hole of the fixed fan plate 15. A rotating rod 16 is rotatably connected through the center of the fixed fan plate 15 and bearing. One end of the rotating rod 16 is fixedly connected to the second fan plate 14, which can position the second fan plate 14 for rotation. A protrusion 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal cylinder 5. A vertical rod 18 is rotatably connected through the center of the protrusion 17 and bearing. A bevel gear 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical rod 18. The bevel gear 19 meshes with the L-shaped conical toothed ring 13, which can drive the bevel gear 19 to rotate when the vertical rod 18 rotates, and the bevel gear 19 to drive the L-shaped conical toothed ring 13 to rotate when the bevel gear 19 rotates. An air inlet 22 is symmetrically opened on the surface of the horizontal cylinder 5 near one end, which can achieve the effect of air intake.

[0023] Example 2, as Figure 1-4 As shown, a rotating component 9 is embedded at the bottom of the vertical cylinder 4, and the top of the rotating component 9 passes through the first panel 8 and is fixedly connected to it; a rotating component 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical rod 18, and the outer arc wall of the rotating component 20 is provided with anti-slip texture; a limiting ring 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vertical cylinder 4 near the top; anti-slip sleeves 21 are fitted and fixedly connected to the surfaces of the vertical cylinder 4 and the horizontal cylinder 5; a sealing ring 23 is fitted between the fixed sleeve 3, the vertical cylinder 4 and the horizontal cylinder 5 and the inner wall of the annular screw groove 2.

[0024] The overall effect of embodiment 2 is as follows: A rotating component 9 is embedded at the bottom of the vertical cylinder 4, and the top of the rotating component 9 penetrates the first fan plate 8 and is fixedly connected to it. This allows the rotating component 9 to rotate, thereby causing the first fan plate 8 to rotate and close or adjust the fan hole 6. A rotating component 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical rod 18, and the outer arc wall of the rotating component 20 has anti-slip textures. This allows the rotating component 20 to rotate, thereby causing the vertical rod 18 to rotate. A limiting ring 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vertical cylinder 4 near the top, preventing the ball 10 from entering the three-way pipe 1. Anti-slip sleeves 21 are fitted and fixedly connected to the surfaces of both the vertical cylinder 4 and the horizontal cylinder 5, facilitating the rotation of the fixing sleeve 3 and the horizontal cylinder 5. Sealing rings 23 are fitted between the fixing sleeve 3, the vertical cylinder 4, and the horizontal cylinder 5 and the inner wall of the annular screw groove 2, allowing the fixing sleeve 3, the vertical cylinder 4, and the horizontal cylinder 5 to be screwed into the annular screw groove 2 for sealing.

[0025] Working principle: The three-way tube 1 constructs a multi-channel breathing path for inhalation and exhalation. The rotating component 20 drives the vertical rod 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the bevel gear 19 and the L-shaped bevel gear ring 13 to control the opening and closing state of the second fan plate 14. During inhalation training, the rotating component causes the second fan plate 14 to close the edge hole of the fixed fan plate 15, and the airflow enters the interior of the vertical cylinder 4 through the fan hole 6. The inhalation airflow pushes the ball 10 inside the vertical cylinder 4 to rise, thereby achieving inspiratory muscle strength training. During exhalation training, the size of the opening of the edge hole of the fixed fan plate 15 is adjusted by the second fan plate 14, and the fan hole 6 can be closed by the rotating component 9 to control the exhalation resistance. The exhalation airflow drives the component to move, exercising the expiratory muscles and optimizing expiratory control. The annular screw groove 2 at the end of the three-way tube 1 allows for quick disassembly of the fixed nozzle 3, vertical cylinder 4, and horizontal cylinder 5 by screwing them in or out. After disassembly, all components, including the internal fan plate and sphere 10, are fully exposed, making it easy to thoroughly clean and disinfect them using methods such as soaking disinfection and ultrasonic cleaning before reassembly and use, ensuring hygiene and safety for each training session.

[0026] The wiring diagrams for the sphere 10, L-shaped conical toothed ring 13, bevel gear 19, anti-slip sleeve 21, and sealing ring 23 in this utility model are common knowledge in the field. Their working principle is a well-known technology. The appropriate model is selected according to actual use. Therefore, the control method and wiring arrangement of the sphere 10, L-shaped conical toothed ring 13, bevel gear 19, anti-slip sleeve 21, and sealing ring 23 will not be explained in detail.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
