Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of swimming equipment technology, and in particular to a swimming nose plug with a vent valve. Background Technology

[0002] Swimming is a popular sport that can improve physical fitness. Most swimmers breathe by holding their breath or exhaling rapidly. However, during breathing, the water waves created by the body often rush water into the nostrils, causing choking and nasal discomfort.

[0003] Therefore, beginners often use nose clips or plugs to prevent water from entering the nasal cavity. However, these devices simply clamp or block the nasal cavity, preventing both inhalation and exhalation, forcing the user to rely entirely on oral breathing. This is extremely detrimental to the more advantageous "mouth-inhale-nose-exhale" breathing pattern and easily causes discomfort and breathing difficulties, thus affecting the swimming experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for technical solutions to address the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0024] This utility model provides a swimming nasal plug with a breathable valve. It can be inserted into the nasal cavity to prevent choking on water. The plug itself also contains a one-way valve to isolate external media (liquid or gas), preventing liquids from flowing into the nasal cavity and causing choking. Simultaneously, it can expel external media, specifically the air exhaled through the nose. This nasal plug effectively blocks the nasal cavity while allowing for nasal exhalation, enabling users to breathe through their mouth and nose, thus improving their swimming experience.

[0029] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0030] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0031] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in the embodiments of this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.

[0032] This utility model embodiment provides a swimming nasal plug with a breather valve 200. During use, it can be inserted into the nasal cavity to prevent choking. Simultaneously, the nasal plug body 100 is also equipped with a one-way valve 200 to isolate external media, which can be liquid or gas, thus preventing liquid from flowing into the nasal cavity and causing choking. It also removes external media, specifically the air exhaled through the nasal cavity. The nasal plug provided in this embodiment effectively blocks the nasal cavity while allowing for nasal exhalation, enabling users to breathe through their mouth and nose during exercise, thus improving the user's experience during swimming.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a swimming nasal plug with a vent valve 200, including a plug body 100, a vent valve 200, and a connector 300. There are two plug bodies and vent valves 200. The plug body 100 and the vent valve 200 are connected to form a nasal plug for insertion into a nasal cavity. The two nasal plugs are connected to each other through the connector 300, thereby preventing the loss of a single nasal plug.

[0034] One end of the plug body 100 is inserted into the nasal cavity. An airway 101 is provided in the middle of the plug body 100. A vent valve 200 is sealed on the other end of the plug body 100 and seals the airway 101 to prevent external media from entering the airway 101 and to allow the media inside the airway 101 to be discharged. The vent valve 200 includes a valve body 210 and a valve plate 220. The valve body 210 is sealed to the plug body 100 and has a plurality of vent holes 201. The valve plate 220 includes a sealing part 221 that covers the vent holes 201 and a connecting part 222 formed on the sealing part 221 and connected to the valve body 210. The two ends of the connector 300 are respectively connected to the two plug bodies 100 or the two vent valves 200.

[0035] During use, one end of the plug body 100 is inserted into the nasal cavity to seal it. Simultaneously, the valve plate 220 in the vent valve 200 seals the vent hole 201. When breathing is required while swimming, the sealing part 221 of the valve plate 220 seals the vent hole 201. When the user inhales, air from the airway 101 is drawn into the body, reducing the air pressure in the airway 101. At this time, the sealing part 221 tightly seals the vent hole 201, preventing external liquids from being inhaled into the nasal cavity and causing choking. When inhaling, the user can only breathe through their mouth. When exhaling, the air in the lungs is expelled through the nasal cavity. At this time, the air pressure in the airway 101 increases, pushing the sealing part 221. As a result, the sealing part 221 releases the vent 201, allowing the user to communicate with the outside world and exhale. This technical solution can close the nasal cavity when inhaling and open the vent 201 when exhaling, facilitating exhalation. This allows the user to interact with the breathing method of inhaling through the mouth and exhaling through the nose, thereby improving the user's swimming experience.

[0036] In this embodiment, to improve the sealing effect of the plug body 100 when inserted into the nasal cavity, the plug body 100 includes a skeleton 110 and an insert 120. The skeleton 110 provides support, and the insert 120 seals the nasal cavity through elastic deformation. Specifically, one end of the skeleton 110 is sealed to the ventilation valve 200, and the airway 101 is formed on the skeleton 110. The insert 120 is fitted onto the skeleton 110 and undergoes elastic deformation within the nasal cavity to seal it. The elastic potential energy effectively seals the nasal cavity, and the skeleton 110 prevents the insert 120 from being too soft, which could result in a poor nasal cavity seal.

[0037] In order to further improve the elastic deformation capacity of the insert 120 and the airtightness of the nasal cavity, the insert 120 is provided with a first flange 121. One end of the first flange 121 is formed on the circumferential surface of the insert 120, and the other end extends obliquely upward, so that a first elastic space 122 is defined between the first flange 121 and the circumferential surface of the insert.

[0038] As a further technical solution, a second flange 123 is provided on the insert 120. One end of the second flange 123 is formed on the circumferential surface of the insert 120, and the other end extends obliquely upward, so that a second elastic space 124 is defined between the second flange 123 and the circumferential surface of the insert.

[0039] After the insert 120 is inserted into the nasal cavity, the first flange 121 and the second flange 123 undergo elastic deformation under the pressure of the nasal cavity, thereby crushing and deforming the first elastic space 122 and the second elastic space 124, so that the insert 120 can be easily inserted into the nasal cavity and the nasal cavity can be closed under the elastic potential of the two elastic spaces.

[0040] In order to ensure that the first flange 121 and the second flange 123 are continuous after the insert 120 is placed in the nasal cavity, and to avoid gaps between them that would affect the seal of the nasal cavity, the connection between the second flange 123 and the insert 120 is located within the first elastic space 122.

[0041] Meanwhile, both the first flange 121 and the second flange 123 have convex arc-shaped circumferential surfaces protruding outwards. This allows for a larger contact area with the nasal cavity wall after placement, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-3 As shown, the valve body 210 includes a first seat 211 and a second seat 212 that are stacked and sealed together. A vent 201 passes through the first seat 211 and the second seat 212. The first seat 211 is sealed on the plug body 100 and seals the air passage 101. A valve cavity 213 is provided between the first seat 211 and the second seat 212. A valve plate 220 is provided in the valve cavity 213 to seal the vent 201 on the first seat 211.

[0043] By placing the valve plate 220 inside the valve cavity 213, the valve plate 220 can have a smaller range of motion, thus avoiding fatigue deformation caused by a large amount of deformation of the valve plate 220, which would affect the sealing effect on the vent hole 201 and the air passage 101.

[0044] Regarding the specific connection method between the valve plate 220 and the first seat 211, this utility model provides the following specific example: a mounting hole 2111 is provided on the first seat 211 for the connecting part 222 to pass through, and a locking block 2221 is formed on the circumferential surface of the connecting part 222 to engage within the mounting. The valve plate 220 is secured to the first seat 211 by the locking block 2221, facilitating assembly. Simultaneously, under the constraint of the locking block 2221, the sealing part 221 fits tightly against the surface of the first seat 211, improving the sealing effect.

[0045] In this embodiment, the sealing part 221 is provided with a central area 2211, an elastic area 2212 and an abutment area 2213 arranged radially outward from the center. One end of the connecting part 222 is formed in the central area 2211, and a gap is defined between the central area 2211 and the first seat 211. The elastic area 2212 extends obliquely toward the first seat 211. One end of the abutment area 2213 is formed in the elastic area 2212, and the other end radiates outward along a horizontal square shape and elastically abuts against the first seat 211 to seal the vent 201 on the first seat 211. During the sealing process of the first seat 211, the deformation area extends towards the first seat 211, so that the abutment area 2213 can be tightly attached to the surface of the first seat 211. Under the action of the locking block 2221, the elastic area 2212 can undergo elastic deformation, thereby ensuring the tightness of the abutment area 2213 and the first seat 211 and ensuring its sealing effect.

[0046] In this embodiment, the connector 300 is connected to the vent valve 200, thereby connecting the two nasal plugs. Specifically, a protrusion 2121 is formed on the second seat 212, and the protrusion 2121 is detachably or fixedly connected to the end of the connector 300. In this embodiment, the fixed connection is achieved by adhesive bonding, but other connection methods in the prior art can also be used.

[0047] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be obtained based on the structure and principles disclosed in this utility model, and all such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
