Detailed Implementation

[0045] The invention will now be described with reference to several embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are described only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and thus implement the invention, and are not intended to imply any limitation on the scope of the invention.

[0046] As used herein, the term "comprising" and its variations are to be interpreted as open-ended terms meaning "including but not limited to"; the terms "embodiment" and "one embodiment" are to be interpreted as "at least one embodiment"; the term "another embodiment" is to be interpreted as "at least one other embodiment"; the terms "first," "second," etc., may refer to different or the same objects; the term "setup" is not limited to direct or indirect connections, nor to specific connection methods. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0047] Specific numerical values ​​or ranges may be referred to in the following description. It should be understood that these values ​​and ranges are merely exemplary and may be helpful in putting the ideas of the invention into practice. However, the description of these examples is not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. These values ​​or ranges may be set differently depending on the specific application scenario and requirements.

[0048] As mentioned above, existing nebulizers can only be fixedly installed in hospitals or other public places, increasing the configuration cost of the nebulizers and making them inconvenient to carry between different locations. The portable nebulizer and nebulization system proposed in the embodiments of the present invention at least partially solve the above problems. The structure and working principle of the portable nebulizer and nebulization system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 7. The portable nebulizer and nebulization system of the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to the nebulization of medical or vaccine solutions. It should be noted that the nebulization system involved in the embodiments of the present invention includes a portable nebulizer and a mist storage device 60.

[0049] In general, the portable nebulizer of this invention includes a housing, a nebulizer 30, and a controller 40. The housing is used to house the nebulizer 30, controller 40, power adapter 80, cable 70, and other components during transport, enabling the nebulizer to be quickly and easily stored, carried, and assembled. The nebulizer 30 is inserted into the nebulization port of the mist storage device 60 to generate a medicinal mist into the mist storage device 60. For example, as shown in FIG5, the nebulizer 30 is provided with a liquid medicine container 32 and a nebulization interface 31. The controller 40 is used to provide an electrical signal to the nebulizer 30, thereby driving the nebulization mesh in the nebulizer 30 to vibrate at a specific frequency and time.

[0050] The housing includes a body 10 and a lid 20, which together define a storage space. In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, the lid 20 has a smaller space, so that the storage space is essentially formed inside the body 10. In another embodiment, the lid 20 can be configured to have a larger space, resulting in a greater height dimension for the storage space when the lid 20 and body 10 are closed. In summary, when the housing is closed, the size of the storage space must be at least large enough to accommodate the atomizer 30, because the atomizer 30 has the highest structural complexity and cost, and poor adaptability, while components such as the controller 40 and cable 70 can be fixedly configured in various workplaces. Preferably, all components can be housed and carried together within the housing.

[0051] In one embodiment, the internal shape of the receiving space is regular, such as a square or rectangle, and the bottom and side walls of the receiving space are flat, allowing the components to be flexibly placed within the receiving space. In another embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the receiving space is provided with a concave-convex structure through integral molding or additional setting. The shape of the concave-convex structure is adapted to the shape of the components of the atomizing device, thereby ensuring that the components will not scatter during carrying.

[0052] The concave-convex structure is formed as at least one receiving portion. For example, the second receiving portion 12, the third receiving portion 13, and the fourth receiving portion are used to securely place the atomizer 30, the controller 40, and the power adapter 80 during carrying, respectively, while the first receiving portion 11 is used to place the mist storage device 60 during atomization.

[0053] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, due to the limited space and urgent circumstances in some atomization sites, a flat and stable placement position for the mist storage device 60 cannot be provided. By placing the mist storage device 60 inside the first receiving part 11, the atomization process can be completed efficiently. In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 7, when conditions permit, the mist storage device 60 can also be placed outside the receiving box during the atomization process.

[0054] In one embodiment, the mist storage device 60 can take different forms. To ensure the mist storage device 60 is securely placed within the first receiving portion 11, the shape of the first receiving portion 11 is correspondingly adapted to the bottom shape of the mist storage device 60. For example, the mist storage device 60 can be a mist cup, such as a cylindrical one. Correspondingly, the first receiving portion 11 is also configured as an annular protrusion, the inner circumference of which is used to fit or not fit the mist cup. The mist storage device 60 can also be a mist storage bag; the first receiving portion 11 simply needs to be adapted to the bottom shape of the mist storage bag.

[0055] In one embodiment, the first receiving portion 11 and the mist storage device 60 can be placed either in contact or out of contact. In contact placement can better ensure that the mist storage device 60 is placed firmly. In the case of in contact placement, the annular protrusion of the first receiving portion 11 can be configured to have the characteristic of elastic deformation in the radial direction, so as to be suitable for in contact placement of mist storage cups of different diameters.

[0056] In one embodiment, the elastic deformation can be caused by the material used to manufacture the annular protrusion; for example, the annular protrusion is made of rubber. In another embodiment, the elastic deformation can also be caused by the structure; for example, as shown in FIG2, the annular protrusion is formed into a petal-like structure, and under the extrusion of a large-sized mist storage cup, each plate-like structure deforms radially outward.

[0057] In one embodiment, since the first receiving portion 11 is configured as an annular protrusion, as shown in FIG3, the cable 70 can be wrapped around the outer periphery of the first receiving portion 11 during carrying, further improving the portability of the atomizing device.

[0058] The controller 40 is provided with an input interface and an output interface. The output interface is electrically connected to the atomization interface 31 of the atomizer 30 via a cable 70, providing an electrical signal to the atomizer 30 to drive and control the vibration of the atomizing mesh of the atomizer 30. The input interface is used to connect to an external power source, for example, via a power adapter 80, to provide electrical energy for the vibration of the atomizing mesh.

[0059] In one embodiment, an additional power source is provided inside the housing. For example, the additional power source may be a battery that is easy to remove and replace, or a battery integrated inside the housing. The controller 40 obtains power from the battery by connecting to the power interface 50 on the housing.

[0060] In one embodiment, the power interface 50 can be located inside or outside the housing space. To ensure stable placement during the connection between the controller 40 and the power interface 50, a step 15 structure is formed on the outside of the housing 10, located within the housing space. The power interface 50 is disposed on the surface of the step 15. The area and flatness of the step 15 surface are adapted to the controller 40, thereby ensuring that the controller 40 will not easily slip off the surface of the step 15 and avoid interrupting the electrical connection with the power interface 50. When the cover 20 and the housing 10 are closed, the controller 40 can also be placed on the surface of the step 15. Since the controller 40 is plugged into the power interface 50, the supporting force generated by the plugging ensures that the controller 40 remains on the surface of the step 15 during transport.

[0061] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, the controller 40 is equipped with a working indicator light, a power indicator light, and a power on / off button. The operator can control the atomizing device to turn on and off using the power on / off button. The working indicator light indicates the working status of the atomizing device through color, flashing, or constant illumination, or a combination of these methods. The power indicator light indicates the battery level through color, flashing, or constant illumination, or a combination of these methods.

[0062] In one embodiment, the controller 40 provides control signals to the nebulizer 30, enabling the nebulizer 30 to switch between different operating states. For example, the controller 40 includes a medication detection module, a cleaning module, and a nebulization module. Each module controls the nebulizer 30 to perform actions such as detecting the depletion of medication in the medication container 32, cleaning the atomizing mesh with water or other liquid from the medication container 32, and vibrating the atomizing mesh to atomize the medication in the medication container 32. Those skilled in the art will understand that the methods of detecting the depletion of medication in the medication container 32, cleaning the atomizing mesh with water or other liquid from the medication container 32, and vibrating the atomizing mesh to atomize the medication in the medication container 32 are all conventional techniques. The portable nebulizer device of this embodiment integrates these operating states or modes.

The description of preferred embodiments involves combinations of features, which may exist independently or in combination; the invention is not particularly limited to the preferred embodiments.
