Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to an atomizing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of medical technology, home nebulizers have become an indispensable part of many households, especially for patients who need long-term nebulization therapy. Current technology typically includes components such as a nebulizer, a medication reservoir, and an inhalation tubing, which can transform liquid medication into tiny droplets so that patients can inhale the medication through breathing to achieve the effect of treating respiratory diseases.

[0003] In existing technologies, the working principle of home nebulizers is roughly as follows: First, an appropriate amount of medication is added to the reservoir. Then, the nebulizer is activated, and the medication is atomized into fine particles using methods such as ultrasound or compressed air. Finally, the patient inhales the atomized medication into their lungs through an inhalation tube. Although these devices have achieved significant results in practical applications, understanding the key parameters of the nebulization process remains challenging for patients and their families. For example, currently available home nebulizers typically do not provide real-time feedback on nebulization progress and remaining treatment time, making it difficult for users to accurately determine whether the treatment is progressing normally or whether the expected results have been achieved.

[0004] This is especially important for patients who require frequent nebulizer treatments and their families. A lack of this crucial information can prevent patients from adjusting their dosage in a timely manner, thus affecting treatment effectiveness and potentially leading to undertreatment or overtreatment. Utility Model Content

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0038] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] Embodiments of this application provide an atomizing device, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the atomizing device includes an atomizing device body 100, a control component, and a feedback component.

[0041] The nebulizer body 100 is used to atomize medication and deliver it to the patient. The technical solution of this application focuses on the integration of the nebulizer body 100 with the feedback element; therefore, the medication atomizing components in the nebulizer body 100 can adopt existing technology.

[0042] The control component is electrically connected to the atomizing device body 100. The control component is installed in the atomizing device body 100 and is used to control the operating parameters of the atomizing device body 100.

[0043] Control components include, but are not limited to: a central processing unit (CPU), a programmable logic controller (PLC), or an electronic device with logic control functions.

[0044] For example, the operating parameters include, but are not limited to: nebulization duration, nebulization countdown, nebulization flow rate, nebulization pressure, drug type, number of nebulization treatments, nebulization speed, and nebulization temperature.

[0045] The feedback element is electrically connected to the control element, and the feedback element can provide feedback to the outside world on the working parameters of the atomizing device body 100.

[0046] The feedback device can send operating parameters to the outside world in the form of sound signals, body vibration signals, light signals or combinations thereof. For example, the light signal can be a single light signal that flashes at a specific frequency or is constantly lit, or a combination of multiple light signals.

[0047] The feedback mechanism can be implemented by sending a somatosensory vibration signal as a reminder as the nebulization treatment countdown begins. The vibration becomes more intense as the countdown nears its end.

[0048] The implementation of feedback by emitting sound signals is, for example, as the nebulization treatment enters the countdown, the feedback device broadcasts the countdown via sound signals.

[0049] The feedback device emits light signals for feedback, for example, during nebulization therapy, the feedback device uses light-emitting elements combined according to a specific pattern to represent the duration of nebulization therapy through a specific flashing frequency.

[0050] In this application, a feedback device transmits the operating parameters of the nebulizer body 100 to the outside world in the form of sound signals, tactile vibration signals, light signals, or a combination thereof, allowing the user to intuitively and promptly understand the operating status of the nebulizer. The feedback device can provide real-time feedback on the operating parameters of the nebulizer, such as the duration of nebulization, which helps users or medical personnel adjust the operating status of the nebulizer according to actual needs, thereby optimizing the treatment effect.

[0051] By obtaining precise nebulization parameters, patients or doctors can take more effective measures to ensure efficient nebulization of medications, improve drug absorption efficiency, and thus enhance treatment outcomes. Feedback devices provide real-time updates on the nebulizer's operating status, helping users or healthcare professionals promptly identify and address equipment malfunctions or anomalies, reducing maintenance costs.

[0052] Exemplarily, the atomizing device also includes a mask 210, an atomizing cup 220, an air inlet tube 230, and an air delivery tube. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the atomizing device body 100 is provided with a pipe interface 120; as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, one end of the air supply tube is installed at the pipe interface 120, and the other end of the air supply tube is located at the bottom of the atomizing cup 220; as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the air inlet tube 230 is mounted on the atomizing cup 220; as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mask 210 is mounted on the air inlet pipe 230.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the feedback device includes a display 110, which is electrically connected to the control device. The display 110 is capable of displaying the operating parameters of the atomizing device body 100 to the outside world via light signals.

[0054] For example, the display 110 includes, but is not limited to: CRT display (Cathode Ray Tube), LCD display (Liquid Crystal Display), LED display, OLED display (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), QLED display (Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diode), Mini LED display, Micro LED display and 3D display, etc.

[0055] The display 110 directly displays the operating parameters of the nebulizer body 100, such as the nebulization duration, in the form of light signals, so that users or medical personnel can understand the working status of the device at a glance.

[0056] The operating parameters are displayed in real time on the monitor 110, eliminating the need for users to obtain this information through other complex means or additional equipment, thus simplifying the operation process and improving ease of use.

[0057] The real-time display function of the display 110 makes the working status of the nebulizer monitorable, which helps users or medical staff to detect equipment abnormalities or malfunctions in a timely manner and take corresponding measures to deal with them.

[0058] For example, the number of displays 110 is one, and in other embodiments, the number of displays 110 is at least two, such as two, three, four or five, etc.

[0059] In medical environments or situations requiring precise monitoring, multiple displays 110 can simultaneously convey the operating parameters of the nebulizer to personnel in different locations, ensuring accurate information transmission and timely response.

[0060] For example, the electrical connection between the display 110 and the control unit is a wired communication connection or a wireless communication connection. When the display 110 and the control unit are connected via wired communication, the display 110 can obtain power from the control unit.

[0061] In one embodiment, the display 110 and the nebulizer body 100 are separately configured, allowing the display 110 to be separated from the nebulizer body 100. This separate configuration allows the display 110 to be flexibly installed in different locations according to actual needs, adapting to different usage scenarios. For example, in a medical environment, the display 110 can be installed in a location convenient for medical personnel to observe, while the nebulizer body 100 can be placed near the patient, thereby improving the flexibility of use.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, in another embodiment, the display 110 is integrated into the atomizing device body 100, and the display 110 is a touch screen. Exemplarily, the atomizing device body 100 includes a housing, and the display 110 is integrated into the housing. The display 110 is connected to the housing by snap-fit, bolt connection, or adhesive. This integrated configuration directly integrates the display 110 into the atomizing device body 100, saving additional installation space and making the entire device more compact and portable. This is particularly advantageous for applications requiring frequent movement or where space is limited.

[0063] When the display 110 is a touch screen, users can operate directly on the screen, such as adjusting working parameters and viewing treatment progress, without the need for additional buttons or remote control, which simplifies the operation process and improves ease of use.

[0064] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a power switch 130 is provided on the atomizing device body 100. The power switch is located on the side wall of the atomizing device body 100 and is used to control the power on / off of the atomizing device. However, in another embodiment, the power switch is located on the end face of the atomizing device body where the display is located.

[0065] In one embodiment, the feedback element includes a speaker, which is electrically connected to a control element. The speaker is capable of feeding back the operating parameters of the atomizing device body 100 to the outside world via sound signals.

[0066] For example, the operating parameters include a countdown to the end of treatment, with the speaker broadcasting the remaining countdown time at regular intervals.

[0067] Operating parameters include, for example, the drug nebulization flow rate. After the nebulization treatment begins, the speaker announces the flow rate.

[0068] During nebulizer treatment for children, playing music through a loudspeaker can reduce the child's anxiety and make them more cooperative with the treatment, thereby improving the treatment effect, as the child's cooperation is one of the key factors for successful treatment.

[0069] Loudspeakers include, for example, electrodynamic loudspeakers, electromagnetic loudspeakers, electrostatic loudspeakers, piezoelectric loudspeakers, or ion loudspeakers.

[0070] The speaker broadcasts the operating parameters of the nebulizer in real time via sound signals, such as the countdown to the end of treatment and the nebulization flow rate, so that users can clearly understand the working status of the device and the progress of the treatment.

[0071] Sound, as an intuitive form of interaction, allows users to obtain the information they need through hearing without having to look at the device's display or press buttons. This enhances the interactivity of the device and makes it more convenient to use.

[0072] In one embodiment, the feedback element includes a vibrator, which is electrically connected to a control element. The vibrator is able to display the operating parameters of the atomizing device body 100 to the outside world through vibration action signals.

[0073] For example, the operating parameters include a treatment countdown. When the treatment is completed, the countdown will be zero, at which point the vibrator will vibrate to indicate that the treatment is complete.

[0074] Operating parameters include, for example, the flow rate of the nebulized drug. When the flow rate is too low, the corresponding nebulized drug particle size is too large, resulting in poor inhalation of the drug mist. The vibrator will then activate a specific frequency to alert the doctor or user, prompting them to increase the nebulization power or flow rate to ensure the therapeutic effect.

[0075] The vibrator provides instant tactile feedback through vibration, allowing users to directly perceive the working status of the nebulizer. For example, the vibration emitted by the vibrator at the end of the treatment can immediately remind the user that the treatment is complete, without having to look at the device display or wait for an audible prompt.

[0076] Vibration, as a non-visual and non-auditory feedback method, is particularly suitable for use in noisy environments or low-light conditions. It provides users with a unique and less easily disturbed feedback method, enhancing the user experience.

[0077] Vibration feedback is suitable for all user groups, including those with poor eyesight, hearing impairment, or those in noisy environments. It provides a universally applicable feedback method, making it easier for more users to use the nebulizer.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the atomizing device further includes an interaction element 140, which is electrically connected to the control element. The interaction element 140 sends executable instructions to the control element to interact with the control element.

[0079] For example, the interactive element 140 includes, but is not limited to: a button adjustment unit, a knob adjustment unit, a touch screen adjustment unit, and combinations thereof.

[0080] Users can personalize the nebulizer settings via the interactive component 140, such as adjusting parameters like nebulization intensity and time, to suit different treatment needs. The connection between the interactive component 140 and the control unit enables intelligent interaction between the device and the user. Users can input commands via the interactive component 140, and the control unit will execute corresponding operations based on these commands, enhancing the device's level of intelligence.

[0081] In one embodiment, the nebulizer further includes a flow sensor disposed within the nebulizer body 100 and electrically connected to a control unit. The flow sensor detects the nebulization flow rate of the nebulizer body 100 and sends the detection result to the control unit, which then feeds back the detection result via a feedback mechanism. The flow sensor can monitor the nebulization flow rate within the nebulizer body 100 in real time, ensuring the stability and consistency of the nebulization process. By precisely controlling the nebulization flow rate, over- or under-nebulization can be avoided, improving the efficiency and quality of nebulization therapy.

[0082] In one embodiment, the atomizing device further includes a timer. The timer is mounted on the atomizing device body 100 and electrically connected to a control unit. The timer detects the operating time of the atomizing device body 100 and sends the timing result to the control unit. The control unit then feeds back the timer's timing result to the outside world via a feedback device. The timer accurately records the operating time of the atomizing device, providing the user with precise operating duration data. The user can monitor the operating time of the atomizing device in real time through the feedback device, thereby better understanding the usage process.

[0083] In one embodiment, the atomizing device further includes a communication component, which is disposed in the atomizing device body 100 and electrically connected to the control component. The control component establishes a communication connection with external devices through the communication component.

[0084] For example, external devices include, but are not limited to: desktop computers, laptops, mobile phones, tablets, etc.

[0085] For example, the communication component may be a wired communication module and / or a wireless communication module. The control component establishes a wired communication connection with external devices via the wired communication module. The control component establishes a wireless communication connection with external devices via the wireless communication module.

[0086] Wired communication modules include, but are not limited to: Ethernet modules, USB (Universal Serial Bus) modules, serial port modules, IEEE 1394 / FireWire modules, or fiber optic modules.

[0087] Wireless communication modules include, but are not limited to: cellular communication modules, Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth modules, ZigBee modules, LoRa (Long Range) modules, NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) modules, UWB (Ultra-Wideband) modules, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) modules, infrared communication modules, satellite communication modules, RF wireless data communication modules, or 2.4GHz wireless transceiver modules, etc.

[0088] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0089] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
