Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a device for precise control of the temperature and flow rate of nasal irrigation fluid in ear, nose and throat care. Background Technology
[0002] As the first line of defense in the human respiratory system, the nasal cavity is highly susceptible to invasion by external pathogens, allergens, and foreign objects. Nasal irrigation, as a common nursing and treatment method, plays a crucial role in the field of ENT care. Current nasal irrigation equipment can precisely control the temperature and flow rate of the irrigation solution, ensuring a more scientific and comfortable irrigation process. Precise temperature control keeps the irrigation solution within a temperature range close to that suitable for the nasal mucosa, avoiding irritation and damage caused by unsuitable temperatures. Problems such as burns due to excessively high temperatures or vasoconstriction due to excessively low temperatures can be effectively avoided.
[0003] Currently, various nasal irrigation devices are available on the market. However, these traditional devices generally have some significant drawbacks. One prominent problem is that the angle of the irrigation fluid sprayed during the irrigation process remains constant. The internal structure of the nasal cavity is complex, and the shape of the nasal cavity and the location of foreign objects vary from person to person. A fixed angle of irrigation fluid makes it difficult to fully cover all corners of the nasal cavity, resulting in poor irrigation effectiveness for foreign objects. Utility Model Content

[0029] Reference Figures 1-4 As an embodiment of the present invention, a device for precise control of the temperature and flow rate of nasal irrigation fluid in ear, nose and throat care is provided, which includes a housing 1.
[0030] The connecting pipe 2 has a conical flow collector 21 at the bottom that communicates with the housing 1. The conical flow collector 21 can accelerate the flow rate of the flushing fluid, thereby increasing the water pressure.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a liquid storage bottle 11 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. A partition 12 is provided inside the housing 1 to divide the interior into an upper zone and a lower zone. A flow control component 5 is provided inside the housing 1. The flow control component 5 includes a peristaltic pump 51 and an ultrasonic flow meter 52. The peristaltic pump 51 is located in the lower zone of the housing 1. Its peristaltic tube connects the liquid storage bottle 11 and the upper zone of the housing 1. An ultrasonic flow meter 52 is installed on the connecting pipe 2.
[0032] A temperature control component 6 is provided on the housing 1. The temperature control component 6 includes a heating wire 61 and a temperature sensor 62. The heating wire 61 is installed on the upper part of the housing 1, and the temperature sensor 62 is installed on the connecting pipe 2.
[0033] In addition, a controller is provided on the outside of the housing 1. It is electrically connected to the peristaltic pump 51, the ultrasonic flow meter 52, the temperature sensor 62 and the heating wire 61. The power of the heating wire 61 and the peristaltic pump 51 is adjusted by monitoring the temperature and flow rate of the flushing fluid by the temperature sensor 62 and the ultrasonic flow meter 52, so that the temperature and flow rate are within a suitable range.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the cap 3 is conical and located at the top of the connecting pipe 2. At least three inclined strip-shaped arc-shaped water outlets 31 are provided on its exterior along the axial direction. The strip-shaped water outlets 31 can increase the spray pressure of the rinsing fluid, thereby effectively rinsing foreign objects in the nasal cavity when the rinsing fluid flow rate is large.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably installed inside the connecting pipe 2. Its bottom end and top end are respectively provided with an impeller 41 and a blade 42. The impeller 41 is located inside the conical collection part 21. When the flushing liquid passes through the conical collection part 21, it drives the impeller 41 to rotate. The blade 42 is located inside the plug cover 3 and includes at least three blades. The outer contour of the blades is adapted to the shape of the inner wall of the plug cover 3.
[0036] Each pair of adjacent blades 42 is provided with an oblique intercepting plate 420. The projection of each intercepting plate 420 is located within the opening area of the outlet 31, and the oblique angles are different, ranging from 10 to 40°. The multiple intercepting plates 420 are staggered along the axis of rotation 4. When the blades 42 rotate, the intercepting plates 420 above them can intercept the flushing fluid at different positions, so that it can be sprayed out from the staggered position of the outlet 31 and the intercepting plate 420. The spraying direction is controlled by the oblique angle of the intercepting plate 420, thereby flushing the patient's nasal cavity at different angles, improving the flushing effect, and benefiting nasal care.
[0037] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
