Description

Spray bottle capable of quantitative spraying

[0001] The present invention relates to a spray container capable of quantitative spraying, and more particularly, to a spray container capable of quantitative spraying that can spray a quantitative amount of medication onto a patient through a simple structure, thereby enabling the patient to accurately maintain the amount of medication to be administered, thereby enabling effective treatment of the patient.

[0002] A typical atomizing device is composed of a cartridge holder arranged in a housing as an essential unit, a mouthpiece provided in the housing, an atomization device arranged in the housing, and a connecting tube system connecting the atomization device and the cartridge holder.

[0003] And, the atomizing device has at least one nozzle body and the connecting pipe system has at least one passage with a hollow plunger that is displaceably mounted, and the hollow plunger includes a valve body.

[0004] Additionally, the hollow plunger inserted into the spray device includes a valve body, and simultaneously with the downward movement of the hollow plunger, in the open position, the valve body enables the flow suction of the already mixed formulation into a portion of the passage downstream of the hollow plunger in the direction of flow.

[0005] And, when the hollow plunger moves upward, the valve body closes the hollow plunger, and when it moves upward further, the mixture or preparation placed downstream of the hollow plunger in the flow direction is compressed to a predetermined pressure.

[0006] This type of nebulizer is used in pharmaceutical formulation applications that require inhalation to produce an effect, and in these cases, the formulation must meet high quality standards.

[0007] For example, to ensure good distribution of the active substance in the lungs, application of liquid preparations without the use of a propellant gas via an inhaler or nebulizer suitable for this purpose is optional.

[0008] In particular, since such atomizing device must be able to spray a precise amount of liquid preparation into an appropriate aerosol that can be inhaled therapeutically within a few seconds to maximize the therapeutic effect, there is a need for a device that can accurately spray a precise amount of medication onto a patient.

[0009] The purpose of the present invention, which has been devised in consideration of the above points, is to provide a spray container capable of quantitative spraying, which can spray a quantitative amount of medicine to a patient through a simple structure, thereby enabling the patient to accurately maintain the amount of medicine to be administered, thereby enabling effective treatment of the patient.

[0010] Another object of the present invention, which has been devised in consideration of the above points, is to provide a spray container capable of precise spraying, which can spray a precise amount of medicine by spraying the medicine while the spray container is tilted or turned over rather than standing up and the medicine is contained inside an auxiliary container that is shielded from the outside, so that the spraying is performed.

[0011] In order to achieve the above object of the present invention, a spray container capable of quantitative spraying is characterized by including: a main container having a receiving space capable of receiving a chemical liquid and an opening formed therein so that the chemical liquid flows out through the inlet; a spray nozzle connected to the inlet of the main container so that the chemical liquid is sprayed in the form of small particles; a connecting pipe accommodated in the receiving space of the main container, one end of which is in contact with the chemical liquid and the other end of which is in communication with the spray nozzle; and an auxiliary container installed along a path of the connecting pipe so as to be in communication with the connecting pipe, and when a portion of the chemical liquid flows in through compression of the main container and then contracts, the chemical liquid flowing in is supplied to the spray nozzle side through the connecting pipe.

[0012] Here, an inlet hole is formed through both sides of the connecting pipe to serve as a passage through which the liquid contained in the main container flows into the auxiliary container, and the auxiliary container can be connected to the connecting pipe at a position where the inlet hole is positioned inside the auxiliary container.

[0013] And, a first opening plate that opens only in the direction in which the chemical liquid is drawn into the interior of the auxiliary container may be provided on the lower side of the connecting pipe that comes into contact with the auxiliary container along the direction in which the chemical liquid moves, and a second opening plate that opens only in the direction in which the chemical liquid is supplied to the spray nozzle may be provided on the upper side of the connecting pipe that comes into contact with the auxiliary container.

[0014] Additionally, the second opening / closing plate may be configured to open only when a pressure that is relatively greater than the pressure that opens the first opening / closing plate is applied.

[0015] In addition, the main container and the auxiliary container may be formed of an elastically deformable material so that the drug solution contained in the main container can be introduced into the interior of the auxiliary container, and the drug solution introduced into the interior of the auxiliary container can be discharged to the exterior of the auxiliary container.

[0016] In addition, the connecting pipe and the auxiliary container can be installed so as to be selectively changed according to the amount of the chemical liquid so that the chemical liquid of the desired amount to be sprayed is passed through the connecting pipe and sprayed after the chemical liquid of the desired amount to be sprayed is introduced inside.

[0017] In order to achieve the above-described purpose, the "fall prevention device" according to the present invention is characterized by including a shoe that a user wears by inserting a foot; and a fall prevention unit that is mounted on the front portion of the shoe and reduces friction between the front portion of the shoe and the ground when the front portion of the shoe comes into contact with the ground during the swing phase of the user's walking, thereby preventing a fall.

[0018] As described above, the spray container capable of quantitative spraying according to the present invention has the effect of enabling effective treatment of patients by allowing the patient to accurately maintain the amount of medication to be administered by spraying a quantitative amount of medication to the patient through a simple structure.

[0019] In addition, since the spraying is performed in a state where the spray container is tilted or turned over rather than standing upright and the medicine is contained inside an auxiliary container that is shielded from the outside, it is effective in spraying an accurate amount of medicine.

[0021] Figure 2 is a plan view showing the structure of a spray container capable of quantitative spraying according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] Figure 3 is a plan view showing the structure of a spray container capable of quantitative spraying according to one embodiment of the present invention in a first spray state.

[0023] FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the structure of a spray container capable of quantitative spraying according to one embodiment of the present invention in a secondary spray state.

[0024] Hereinafter, a spray container capable of quantitative spraying according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0025] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the structure of a spray container capable of quantitative spraying according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view illustrating the structure of a spray container capable of quantitative spraying according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a plan view illustrating the structure of a spray container capable of quantitative spraying according to one embodiment of the present invention in a primary spray state, and FIG. 4 is a plan view illustrating the structure of a spray container capable of quantitative spraying according to one embodiment of the present invention in a secondary spray state.

[0026] As illustrated in these drawings, a spray container capable of quantitative spraying according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a main container (100) having a receiving space (110) capable of receiving a chemical liquid and an opening formed therein so that the chemical liquid flows out to the outside through the inlet; a spray nozzle (200) connected to the inlet of the main container (100) so that the chemical liquid is sprayed in the form of small particles; a connecting pipe (300) accommodated in the receiving space (110) of the main container (100), one end of which is in contact with the chemical liquid and the other end of which is in communication with the spray nozzle (200); and an auxiliary container (400) installed along the path of the connecting pipe (300) so as to be in communication with the connecting pipe (300), and when a portion of the chemical liquid flows in through compression of the main container (100) and then contracts, the chemical liquid flowing in is supplied to the spray nozzle (200) through the connecting pipe (300). It consists of including.

[0027] The main container (100) has a cylindrical shape with an opening formed at the entrance and a space (110) formed therein for containing a liquid, and is formed of an elastic material that can be deformed to a contracted state when a certain amount of external force is applied from the outside and then return to its original shape when the external force is removed.

[0028] It is preferable that the main container (100) be formed in a form that is shielded from the outside so that the liquid contained in the receiving space (110) does not leak out to the outside through an area other than the spray nozzle (200) provided on the inlet side.

[0029] The spray nozzle (200) is assembled with the main container (100) by being screwed into the opening formed in the main container (100), and it is effective to enable the liquid medicine passing through the inside to be sprayed evenly in the form of small particles.

[0030] It is preferable that this spray nozzle (200) be formed in a funnel shape with a diameter that becomes narrower as it goes upward, and that a spray hole is formed through the end to allow the liquid to be sprayed externally.

[0031] The connecting pipe (300) is accommodated in the above-mentioned accommodation space (110) of the main container (100), and is composed of a tubular member in which one end is in contact with the above-mentioned liquid and the other end is connected to the above-mentioned spray nozzle (200).

[0032] On both sides of the connecting pipe (300), an inlet hole (310) is formed through which the liquid contained in the main container (100) flows into the auxiliary container (400), and the auxiliary container (400) is connected to the connecting pipe (300) at a position where the inlet hole (310) is placed inside the auxiliary container (400).

[0033] By forming an inlet hole (310) through both sides of the connecting pipe (300), the liquid that has moved along the connecting pipe (300) through the lower end of the connecting pipe (300) can flow into the interior of the auxiliary container (400) through the inlet hole (310).

[0034] The operation of allowing the liquid contained in the receiving space (110) of the main body (100) to move along the connecting pipe (300) and then pass through the inlet hole (310) and flow into the interior of the auxiliary body (400) is performed by applying an external force to the main body (100) to contract the main body (100), thereby applying pressure to the interior of the receiving space (110).

[0035] At the lower side of the connecting pipe (300) that comes into contact with the auxiliary container (400) along the direction in which the liquid moves, a first opening / closing plate (320) that opens only in the direction in which the liquid is drawn into the interior of the auxiliary container (400) is provided.

[0036] In addition, a second opening / closing plate (330) that opens only in the direction in which the liquid is supplied to the spray nozzle (200) is provided on the upper side of the connecting pipe (300) that comes into contact with the auxiliary container (400).

[0037] The first opening plate (320) has one side hinged to one side of the inside of the connecting pipe (300), and the other side rotates upward based on the hinged area, allowing the liquid contained inside the main body (100) to flow into the inside of the auxiliary body (400) through the connecting pipe (300).

[0038] At this time, it is effective to keep the second opening / closing plate (330) in a closed state so that the liquid introduced into the auxiliary body (400) does not move toward the spray nozzle (200) through the connecting pipe (300).

[0039] The second opening plate (300) is provided on the upper side of the connecting pipe (300) that comes into contact with the auxiliary container (400), and one side is hingedly connected to one side of the inside of the connecting pipe (300), and the other side rotates only in the upward direction based on the hinged area, so that the liquid medicine that has entered the inside of the auxiliary body (100) through the connecting pipe (300) can be sprayed to the outside through the spray nozzle (200).

[0040] In addition, the second opening / closing plate (330) is opened only when a pressure that is relatively greater than the pressure that opens the first opening / closing plate (320) is applied, so that when the first opening / closing plate (320) is opened and the liquid flows into the interior of the auxiliary body (400), the second opening / closing plate (330) can be maintained in a closed state.

[0041] In addition, the action of spraying the liquid introduced into the interior of the auxiliary body (400) to the outside through the spray nozzle (200) is made possible by simultaneously contracting the main body (100) and the auxiliary body (400) by pressing the main body (100) from the outside.

[0042] To this end, it is effective for the auxiliary container (400) to be formed of an elastically deformable material so that the drug solution introduced into the interior of the auxiliary container (400) can flow out to the exterior of the auxiliary container (400).

[0043] Since the main container (100) and the auxiliary container (400) are formed of an elastically deformable material, the liquid medicine is allowed to flow into the auxiliary container (400) due to the contraction of the main container (100), and then when the external force is removed, the liquid medicine is restored to its original shape, and when the external force is removed, the liquid medicine that has flowed into the interior of the auxiliary container (400) is sprayed to the outside through the spray nozzle (200), and then when the external force is removed, the liquid medicine is restored to its original shape, thereby enabling continuous spraying.

[0044] In addition, it is effective that the connecting pipe (300) and the auxiliary container (400) are installed so that the amount of the chemical to be sprayed can be selectively changed according to the amount of the chemical so that the amount of the chemical is passed through the connecting pipe (300) and sprayed after the amount of the chemical to be sprayed is introduced inside.

[0045] By allowing the capacity of the auxiliary container (400) formed integrally with the connecting tube (300) to be changed according to the amount of the medicine to be sprayed, it is possible to select an auxiliary container (400) having the required capacity and supply an appropriate amount of medicine to the patient.

[0046] In addition, since the spraying is performed in a state where the spray container is tilted or turned over rather than standing up and the medicine is sprayed onto the patient, the medicine is contained inside an auxiliary container (400) that is shielded from the outside, so that the spraying is performed, and thus an accurate amount of medicine can be sprayed.

[0047] The process of administering a fixed amount of medication to a patient using a spray container capable of quantitative spraying according to one embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration is described as follows.

[0048] First, in order to administer a fixed amount of medication to a patient, an auxiliary container (400) corresponding to the amount of medication to be administered is selected and installed in the main container (100) together with a connecting tube (300), and then the medication is received in the receiving space (110) of the main container (100).

[0049] In this state, when the main container (100) is pressed and contracted, pressure is applied to the inside of the receiving space (110), and the liquid contained in the receiving space (110) passes through the connecting pipe (300) and flows into the inside of the auxiliary container (400).

[0050] At this time, the first opening / closing plate (320) is in an open state and the second opening / closing plate (330) is in a closed state so that the liquid can be filled into the interior of the auxiliary container (400).

[0051] When the interior of the auxiliary container (400) is fully filled with a predetermined amount of the drug solution, the outer surface of the main container (100) is pressed so that the auxiliary container (400) is pressed so that the drug solution filled inside the auxiliary container (400) can be sprayed to the outside through the spray nozzle (200), thereby causing the main container (100) and the auxiliary container (400) to contract simultaneously.

[0052] When the auxiliary container (400) is contracted, the liquid inside the auxiliary container (400) is supplied toward the spray nozzle (200) and spraying occurs. At this time, the first opening / closing plate (320) is closed and the second opening / closing plate (330) is open, so that the liquid is sprayed.

[0053] After the liquid is sprayed, if the external force is removed, both the main container (100) and the auxiliary container (400) are restored to their original shapes and are ready for future spraying of the liquid. Therefore, the above-described process can be repeated as needed to allow additional spraying.

[0054] A spray container capable of quantitative spraying according to one embodiment of the present invention having a configuration as described above can spray a quantitative amount of medicine to a patient through a simple structure, thereby enabling the patient to accurately maintain the amount of medicine to be administered, thereby enabling effective treatment of the patient.

[0055] The above is only a description of some of the preferred embodiments that can be implemented by the present invention, and as is well known, the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the above embodiments, and the technical idea of ​​the present invention described above and the technical idea that shares its basis are all included in the scope of the present invention.

[0056] The present invention is applied to a spray container technology for spraying liquid in a quantitative manner.
