Description

Bidirectional breathing exercise and measurement device

[0001] The present invention relates to a two-way respiratory exercise and measurement device, and more particularly, to a two-way respiratory exercise and measurement device capable of simultaneously performing inhalation and exhalation exercises or measurements, while individually controlling the inhalation and expiratory intensities. Furthermore, the device allows for user registration via a smartphone app or the web, and remote management of the user's respiratory exercise or respiration measurement results.

[0002] Respiratory training is the practice of teaching patients with respiratory difficulties appropriate breathing techniques to alleviate symptoms such as dyspnea, improve their quality of life, and expand their physical and emotional participation in daily life. Furthermore, respiratory training is essential as part of treatment and recovery for patients following lung surgery and those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Periodic respiratory monitoring can be used to monitor the patient's recovery progress.

[0003] In addition, continuous breathing training is necessary to strengthen respiratory muscles such as the respiratory muscles and diaphragm, expand the lungs and supply oxygen stably through inhalation and exhalation training, develop lung capacity and cardiopulmonary function through consistent breathing training, activate metabolism in the body through smooth oxygen supply, and participate in leisure / sports activities through strengthening cardiopulmonary function.

[0004] As an example of a conventional device for measuring respiratory volume, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0484020 discloses a precision spirometry device that can precisely and accurately measure the lung volume of a subject by preventing artificial changes and vortex phenomena due to the Bernoulli phenomenon from occurring in the air exhaled by the subject.

[0005] However, in the past, there was a limitation in performing inhalation and exhalation movements and measurements simultaneously, and there was a problem in that the inhalation intensity and expiratory intensity could not be controlled separately.

[0034] The terms used in this specification will be briefly explained, and the present invention will be described in detail.

[0035] The terms used in this invention have been selected from widely used, common terms, taking into account their functions. However, these terms may vary depending on the intentions of those skilled in the art, precedents, the emergence of new technologies, etc. Therefore, the terms used in this invention should be defined based on their meaning and the overall content of the invention, rather than simply their names.

[0036] When a part of a specification is said to “include” a component, this does not mean that it excludes other components, but rather that it may include other components, unless otherwise stated.

[0037] Below, with reference to the attached drawings, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the invention. However, the present invention may be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0038] Specific details, including the problems to be solved, means of solving them, and the effects of the invention, are included in the embodiments and drawings described below. The advantages and features of the present invention, and methods for achieving them, will become clearer with reference to the embodiments described below in detail, along with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0040] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a two-way breathing exercise and measurement device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a main body (100) and a mouthpiece (200) detachably attached to an upper portion of the main body (100), and the main body (100) includes an intake part (110) detachably attached to a side of the main body (100), and an expiratory part (120) detachably attached to a side of the main body (100) symmetrically to the intake part (110), and through the intake part (110) and the expiratory part (120), the intensity of the inhalation exercise and the intensity of the expiratory exercise can be adjusted, respectively.

[0041] First, the mouthpiece part (200) is provided. The mouthpiece part (200) may include an inlet part (210) inserted into the user's oral cavity, a mouthpiece coupling member (220) provided at the lower portion of the inlet part (210) and formed in a cylindrical shape, a filter part (not shown in the drawing) provided inside the mouthpiece coupling member (220), and a flexible part (not shown in the drawing) formed by extending from the lower portion of the mouthpiece coupling member (220).

[0042] More specifically, the inlet (210) is inserted into the user's oral cavity during respiration measurement and breathing exercise so that the user's inhaled or exhaled air can flow to the sensor unit (300). At this time, the inlet (210) is formed of a material harmless to the human body, and is easily separated and combined to prevent the user's bodily fluid from being transferred to another user. That is, the inlet (210) can be selectively inserted into and combined with the mouthpiece coupling member (220), and the mouthpiece coupling member (220) is coupled to the main body (100).

[0043] In addition, the mouthpiece coupling member (220) forms a tube inside through which the user's inhalation or exhalation can flow, and is formed of a rigid material to prevent the inhalation or exhalation from leaking to the outside or shaking during inhalation or exhalation. In addition, the filter unit is provided inside the mouthpiece coupling member (220), and serves to prevent the user's saliva or external foreign substances from being transmitted to the sensor unit (300). At this time, the filter unit may be a bacterial filter, and can prevent the user's saliva or bacteria, etc. from being transmitted to other users. In addition, the filter unit may be made of chemical synthetic fiber, natural fiber, or various other materials. The filter unit filters foreign substances, harmful substances, etc. contained in the air passing through the inlet unit (210) so that only clean air is transmitted to the inside of the main body unit (100), thereby enabling clean use. In addition, the filter unit filters the user's breathing to enable more accurate breathing measurement. In addition, the flexible portion is formed to be rotatable using an elastic material, so that it can easily reach the user's oral cavity during use. That is, the inlet portion (210) can easily reach the user's oral cavity without movement of the main body portion (100), thereby enabling more smooth respiratory movement and respiration measurement.

[0044] Next, the main body (100) is provided. The main body (100) has an empty space formed inside, and serves as a case that divides the inside and the outside, preventing foreign substances from penetrating into the inside. More specifically, referring to FIGS. 3 to 6, the main body (100) includes a main body (101) in which an intake hole (101-1), an exhalation hole (101-2), and a mouthpiece hole (101-3) are formed, a main body cover (102) that is coupled to the lower portion of the main body (101) and supports a PCB board (102-1), a sub body (103) that is composed of an intake sub body (103-1) and an exhalation sub body (103-2) that are coupled to the intake hole (101-1) and the exhalation hole (101-2), respectively, and an intake cover (104-1) and an exhalation cover (104-2) that are coupled to the intake sub body (103-1) and the exhalation sub body (103-2), respectively. Here, the intake sub-body (103-1) is formed in a cylindrical shape with a hollow space for passage formed inside and is coupled to the intake hole (101-1), and the exhalation sub-body (103-2) is also formed in a cylindrical shape with a hollow space for passage formed inside and is coupled to the exhalation hole (101-2). In addition, the intake sub-body (103-1) and the exhalation sub-body (103-2) are each provided with a coupling protrusion (103-3), and can be coupled by being fitted into a coupling groove (104-3) formed on the inner circumferential surface of the intake cover (104-1) and the exhalation cover (104-2). In addition, the intake cover (104-1) and the exhalation cover (104-2) serve to prevent the intake part (110) or the exhalation part (120) inserted into the sub-body (103) from being separated from the sub-body (103) and escaping.

[0045] Meanwhile, the intake unit (110) includes an intake regulator module that controls the load applied to the air inhaled when the user inhales, and the expiratory unit (120) includes an expiratory regulator module that controls the load applied to the air exhaled when the user exhales.

[0046] More specifically, the intake regulator module includes an intake regulator body (111) inserted into the main body (100), an intake spring (112) provided on the outer surface of the intake regulator body (111), an intake spring guide (113) provided in a form that surrounds the outer surface of the intake regulator body (111), and an intake O-ring (114) provided on the end of the intake regulator body (111).

[0047] And, the exhalation regulator module includes an exhalation regulator body (121) inserted into the main body (100), an exhalation spring (122) provided on the outer surface of the exhalation regulator body (121), an exhalation spring guide (123) provided in a form that surrounds the outer surface of the exhalation regulator body (121), and an exhalation O-ring (124) provided on the end of the exhalation regulator body (121).

[0048] First, referring to FIG. 7, the intake regulator body (111) is formed in a cylindrical shape with an empty space formed inside, and is provided in a form in which one end is open and the other end is closed. Here, the intake regulator body (111) is inserted into the intake sub-body (103-1) and moves in a reciprocating linear manner according to the user's intake. In addition, the intake regulator body (111) includes an intake spiral groove (111-1) formed in a spiral shape on the outer surface of the intake regulator body (111), an intake O-ring groove (111-2) provided on the outer surface of the other end of the intake regulator body (111) and in which the intake O-ring (114) is seated, and a plurality of intake engaging protrusions (111-3) formed radially on the outer surface of one end of the intake regulator body (111).

[0049] In addition, the intake spring (112) is a spiral spring, and is provided on the outer surface of the intake regulator body (111) and is compressed according to the operation of the intake spring guide (113) by the user's intake, and serves to form resistance to the user's intake. That is, the user must inhale at a pressure exceeding the elasticity of the intake spring (112) so that external air can continuously flow through the inside of the main body (100) to the mouthpiece part (200).

[0050] In addition, referring to FIG. 8, the intake spring guide (113) has a donut shape and a hollow space therein, into which the intake regulator body (111) is inserted. At this time, the intake spring guide (113) includes a plurality of stop grooves (113-1) that are formed on the outer surface of the intake spring guide (113) by being sunken inward in a shape corresponding to the intake engaging protrusions (111-3), and a plurality of guide protrusions (113-2) that are formed on the inner surface of the intake spring guide (113) by protruding obliquely toward the center of the intake spring guide (113). That is, the plurality of stop grooves (113-1) are provided so that the intake engaging protrusions (111-3) can be inserted, thereby preventing the intake spring guide (113) from being separated toward one end of the intake regulator body (111). In addition, the guide protrusion (113-2) is provided in a shape corresponding to the intake spiral groove (111-1), and as the user's intake pressure is applied to the intake spring guide (113), the guide protrusion (113-2) moves along the intake spiral groove (111-1) so that the intake spring guide (113) rotates and is transported in a straight line.

[0051] In addition, the above-mentioned intake O-ring (114) is made of a friction material, for example, rubber, and serves to prevent the intake part (110) from being drawn into or drawn out of the main body part (100).

[0052] And, the exhalation regulator body (121), the exhalation spring (122), the exhalation spring guide (123) and the exhalation O-ring (124) are formed in the same shape as the intake regulator body (111), the intake spring (112), the intake spring guide (113) and the intake O-ring (114) and are symmetrically coupled to each other.

[0053] Accordingly, as shown in (a) of Fig. 9, the exhalation spring guide (123) is maintained in a fixed state at one end of the exhalation regulator body (121) by the elastic force of the exhalation spring (122). In addition, referring to (b) of Fig. 9, when the user exhales, the exhalation spring guide (123) is pressed in the right direction and rotates in a spiral manner and is moved in the right direction, and when pressure exceeding the elastic force of the exhalation spring (122) or the frictional force of the exhalation O-ring (124) is applied, the exhalation regulator body (121) is moved in the right direction.

[0054] Pressure control and breathing movement through the intake regulator module and expiratory regulator module formed as above are described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0055] Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the intake cover (104-1) and the exhalation cover (104-2) are coupled to the intake regulator body (111) and the exhalation regulator body (121), respectively, and as the user rotates the intake cover (104-1) and the exhalation cover (104-2), the intake regulator body (111) and the exhalation regulator body (121) rotate, respectively. When the intake regulator body (111) and the exhalation regulator body (121) rotate, the intake regulator body (111) and the exhalation regulator body (121) are respectively moved in a straight line toward the main body (100), and the intake spring (112) and the exhalation spring (122) are compressed. As the above-mentioned intake spring (112) and expiration spring (122) are compressed, the user can rotate the intake spring guide (113) or the expiration spring guide (123) to inhale or exhale at a higher pressure, thereby adjusting the pressure resistance for inhalation and exhalation, respectively, through the rotation of the intake cover (104-1) and the expiration cover (104-2). For example, the user can adjust the exhalation resistance value by varying the initial position of the expiration spring guide (123) depending on the combined length of the expiration cover (104-2) and the expiration sub-body (103-2), thereby varying the compressible distance (compressed state) of the expiration spring (122).

[0056] With this configuration, when a user inhales through the mouthpiece portion (200), external air is drawn into the main body portion (100) through the inhalation portion (110), and when the user exhales through the mouthpiece portion (200), internal air is discharged to the outside of the main body portion (100) through the exhalation portion (120), thereby performing a breathing exercise.

[0057] At this time, (a) of Fig. 12 shows the appearance of the exhalation part (120) in normal condition or when the user inhales, and (b) of Fig. 12 shows the appearance of the exhalation spring guide (123) rotating and moving to the right by the user's exhalation, and the exhalation regulator body (121) moving to the right, so that the inside and outside of the body (100) are connected, so that the user's exhalation is discharged to the outside, and the user receives exhalation pressure resistance due to the pressure of the exhalation spring (122). That is, the user performs exhalation at a pressure exceeding the frictional force and the elastic force so that the exhalation spring guide (123) can be moved while rotating to the right, so that the exhalation can be discharged to the outside, so that the user's exhalation training is performed.

[0058] On the contrary, (a) of Fig. 13 shows the normal state of the intake part (110) or the state when the user exhales, and (b) of Fig. 13 shows the state in which the intake spring guide (113) rotates and moves to the right by the user's inhalation, and the intake regulator body (111) moves to the right, so that the inside and outside of the main body (100) are connected, so that the user's inhalation flows inward, and the user receives inhalation pressure resistance due to the pressure of the intake spring (112). That is, the user performs inhalation at a pressure exceeding the frictional force with the intake regulator body (111) and the elastic force of the intake spring (112) so that the intake spring guide (113) can be moved while rotating to the right, thereby allowing the inhalation to flow inward, thereby allowing the user's inhalation training to be performed. Here, the intake section (110) and the expiration section (120) are not connected to the main body section (100) in a completely sealed state, and a flow path through which a small amount of air can flow may be formed.

[0059] On the other hand, referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, in a two-way breathing exercise and measurement device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sensor unit (300) provided inside the main body unit (100) for measuring the user's breathing pressure through the mouthpiece unit (200), a control unit (400) for receiving the measured value of the sensor unit (300) and storing it in real time, analyzing the user's breathing based on the measured value of the sensor unit (300), and providing an exercise schedule, and a display unit (500) for outputting the analysis result of the control unit (400) and the exercise schedule.

[0060] More specifically, the control unit (400) receives the measurement value of the sensor unit (300), stores it in real time, analyzes the user's respiration based on the measurement value, and provides an exercise schedule. For example, the control unit (400) may be a public institution server located remotely from the sensor unit (300), and may generate an alarm signal to guide the user to visit a hospital, etc. when the measurement value of the sensor unit (300) is lower than the minimum value based on the respiratory muscle. Accordingly, in a pandemic situation such as COVID-19, it is possible to safely measure respiration through personal self-diagnosis. In addition, the sensor unit (300) is equipped with a GPS function to periodically transmit the location of the corresponding sensor unit (300) so that the public institution server can secure the location of the corresponding sensor unit (300). In addition, the sensor unit (300) may be a pressure sensor, and measures the pressure of the flow of the user's inhalation or exhalation and transmits the measured pressure to the control unit (400). In addition, the display unit (500) serves to output the analysis results and exercise schedule of the control unit (400).

[0061] More specifically, the sensor unit (300) is attached to and detached from the board (104) and serves to measure and transmit the user's breathing pattern. That is, the sensor unit (300) serves to measure the pressure and flow rate of the user's inhalation or exhalation, and may be provided in any form as long as it can measure the pressure and flow rate of the user's inhalation or exhalation. For example, the sensor unit (300) may be a pressure sensor that measures the user's lung capacity.

[0062] At this time, the sensor unit (300) may include a communication unit (not shown in the drawing) that transmits the measurement value of the sensor unit (300) to a terminal, and the display unit (500) may include an application (not shown in the drawing) that analyzes the user's breathing pattern based on the measurement value transmitted from the communication unit. The communication unit may perform wireless communication using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, etc. The application analyzes the user's breathing based on the measurement value and provides an exercise schedule suitable for the user. In addition, the analysis result and the exercise schedule may be displayed.

[0063] In addition, the sensor unit (300) may include a light-emitting unit (not shown in the drawing) that indicates the charging status, operating status, etc. of the sensor unit (300) and a supply unit (not shown in the drawing) that supplies power to the sensor unit (300).

[0064] More specifically, the light emitting part is formed of an LED or the like and emits light in different colors depending on the charging status or operating status of the sensor part (300), thereby allowing the user to easily check the status of the sensor part (300) with their eyes. For example, the light emitting part does not emit light normally, but when the user measures inspiration or expiration, the light emitting part emits light in a preset color, thereby allowing the user to check whether inspiration or expiration is being measured.

[0065] In addition, the communication unit is provided to be able to transmit and receive wireless signals with one or more external devices, and may typically include at least one of a Bluetooth chip, a Wi-Fi chip, an NFC chip, and a wireless communication chip (LTE chip). According to one embodiment of the present invention, the communication unit performs communication with an external terminal using a Bluetooth chip, which is a short-range communication method, but this is just one example, and may also perform communication with the terminal using a long-range communication method.

[0066] Additionally, the supply unit may be formed of one or more built-in rechargeable batteries for power supply, or may include a power module that can receive external power through a wire.

[0067] And, the control unit (400) includes a personal web program (401) that receives and stores the measurement value of the sensor unit (300) in real time, a web server (not shown) that is linked to the personal web program (401) to receive and store the measurement value of the sensor unit (300) in real time, and an administrator web program (402) that is linked to the web server to receive and store the measurement value of the sensor unit (300) in real time. In addition, the display unit (500) includes a personal display (501) that outputs the measurement value of the sensor unit (300) and a administrator display (502) that is provided at a remote location apart from the personal display (501) and outputs the measurement value of the sensor unit (300), thereby enabling the monitoring of the measurement value of the sensor unit (300) in a non-face-to-face manner. At this time, if the measurement value of the sensor unit (300) is below a preset limit or if the measurement value of the sensor unit (300) is not transmitted for a preset period of time, the control unit (400) sends an alarm signal to the administrator web program (402) and controls the alarm signal to be output on the administrator display (502). As a result, remote monitoring of users such as lung surgery patients and respiratory disease patients can be performed, and in particular, there is an advantage in that monitoring of socially vulnerable groups such as the elderly living alone can be performed in real time. In addition, if the measurement value of the sensor unit (300) is below a preset limit or if the measurement value of the sensor unit (300) is not transmitted for a preset period of time, there is an advantage in that immediate action can be taken by inducing a visit from medical staff and nursing assistants. In addition, there is an advantage in that the data stored in the administrator web program can be used as reference material for diagnosis and treatment of the user in question.

[0068] In addition, the application is provided. The application can analyze the user's breathing based on the measurement values ​​of the sensor unit (300) and provide an exercise schedule suitable for the user.

[0069] In addition, the application can output exercise schedule management, exercise status feedback, exercise result analysis, calorie consumption through breathing exercise, etc. to a terminal such as a smartphone of the user based on the user's breathing information transmitted from the communication unit. At this time, the application can perform the role of outputting the analysis results and exercise schedule, etc. That is, the user's lung capacity can be expressed as a digital number through the value calculated by the sensor unit (300), and exercise schedule management, exercise status feedback, and exercise result analysis can be output to a device such as a smartphone of the user through the application.

[0070] Additionally, the application allows the user to receive and check real-time information such as exercise schedule management, exercise status feedback, and exercise result analysis. For example, after the user runs the smart app and logs in, the user can perform breathing exercises, measure maximum inspiratory pressure and maximum expiratory pressure, and view the user's usage history.

[0071] For example, the user registers the user information, pressure value, and exercise type through the screen of the application. At this time, the user information can be stored in multiple categories, and the exercise type can be, for example, health, jogging, cycling, etc. After registering the user information, the user executes tabs such as GPS, calories burned, and breathing pattern to perform breathing exercise and respiration measurement. Here, the sensor unit (300) may include a GPS sensor that measures the location of the sensor unit (300).

[0072] In addition, when the user runs the breathing pattern tab, information such as the highest record and average record can be checked, and for example, the most recent 5 breathing exercises and measurement values ​​can be output. In addition, a graph corresponding to time on the horizontal axis and pressure on the vertical axis is generated, and an average value can be calculated, so that the most recent breathing exercises and measurement values ​​can be viewed at a glance. In addition, the generated graph is automatically saved as a file so that it can be sent and received. Finally, a method is proposed to analyze the generated graph to output the user's strengths and weaknesses, and to reproduce the graph shape that performed the optimal breathing.

[0073] Additionally, if the user activates the Calories Burned tab, they can view saved breathing exercises and measurements by time. For example, clicking "30 seconds of exercise time" displays information such as peak inspiratory pressure, average inspiratory pressure, peak expiratory pressure, average expiratory pressure, and total exercise time. Breathing exercises and measurements are automatically recorded and saved if exercise lasts for more than 3 seconds.

[0074] Additionally, if the user runs the GPS tab, the user's movement distance and movement route can be checked, and the user's location can be identified based on the user's exercise time.

[0075] Hereinafter, a two-way breathing exercise and measurement device according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. In this embodiment, there is a difference in that a flow measurement hole (221) for restricting the flow of the user's breathing so as to measure the flow rate of the user's breathing, and a pressure measurement hole (222) for restricting the flow of the user's breathing so as to measure the pressure of the user's breathing are further configured. The above description is cited for the overlapping configurations in this embodiment.

[0076] Referring to FIG. 22, the mouthpiece part (200) includes an inlet part (210-2) coupled to the upper portion of the main body part (100) so that the user's breath can flow into the main body part (100), and a mouthpiece coupling member (220-2) provided inside the inlet part (210-2) and the main body part (100) to form a flow path. At this time, the mouthpiece coupling member (220-2) couples the inlet part (210-2) and the main body part (100), and the insides of the main body part (100), the mouthpiece coupling member (220-2), and the inlet part (210-2) are connected so that the fluid can flow according to the user's breathing through the inlet part (210-2). In addition, the mouthpiece coupling member (220-2) is rotatably provided inside the main body part (100) and the inlet part (210-2).

[0077] Here, the mouthpiece coupling member (220-2) includes a flow rate measuring hole (221) that can measure the flow rate of the user's breathing. That is, as the flow of fluid caused by the user's breathing passes through the flow rate measuring hole (221) and is transmitted to the sensor unit (300), the sensor unit (300) measures the flow rate of the breathing. For example, referring to (a) of FIG. 22, the flow rate measuring hole (221) is connected to the exhalation hole (101-2), and the mouthpiece coupling member (220-2) can be rotated so that the pressure measuring hole (222), which will be described later, is in a closed state.

[0078] In addition, the mouthpiece coupling member (220-2) includes a pressure measuring hole (222) that can measure the pressure of the user's breathing. That is, as the fluid flow due to the user's breathing passes through the pressure measuring hole (222) and is transmitted to the sensor unit (300), the sensor unit (300) measures the pressure of the breathing. For example, referring to (b) of FIG. 22, the pressure measuring hole (222) is communicated with the exhalation hole (101-2), and the mouthpiece coupling member (220-2) can be rotated so that the flow measuring hole (221) is in a closed state.

[0079] In addition, the diameter of the flow rate measuring hole (221) may be formed to be more than 5 times the diameter of the pressure measuring hole (222). For example, the diameter of the flow rate measuring hole (221) may be formed to be 8π, and the diameter of the pressure measuring hole (222) may be formed to be 1.5π.

[0080] As a result, the two-way breathing exercise and measurement device of the present invention has the advantage of being able to provide a customized inhalation or expiratory exercise intensity to the user by simultaneously performing inhalation and expiratory exercises and adjusting the inhalation exercise intensity and expiratory exercise intensity to be the same or different from each other.

[0081] In this way, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical configuration of the present invention described above can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical idea or essential features of the present invention.

[0082] Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as being exemplary and not restrictive in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims described below rather than the detailed description above, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalent concepts should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.
