Active Vaporization Suction System for Respiratory Medication Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vaporization medication systems for respiratory diseases are inefficient as they passively deliver gaseous medication molecules larger than a micrometer scale, making it uncertain whether the medication reaches the desired treatment area, and result in medication wastage due to continuous vaporization without active suction.
Innovation Solution
An active aerosol suction system comprising a medication device with a vaporization chamber, Joule vaporizer, and an active suction device that includes a suction module, flow module, control module, and power supply module, which detects active suction and controls vaporization current to produce tiny vapor medication molecules for targeted delivery and reduces wastage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of stationary object
If the vaporization device continuously vaporizes the medication into gaseous molecules and sprays the gaseous molecules to air, then the medication delivery is continuous, but the medication will be wasted when the gaseous molecules fail to be sucked by the user
Solution Approach 1:
The system switches from continuous vaporization to periodic vaporization triggered by user suction detection. The control module activates the Joule vaporizer only when the flow module detects active suction through pressure differential sensing, creating an on-demand vaporization cycle that eliminates waste during non-use periods
Solution Approach 2:
The flow module provides real-time feedback to the control module about user suction status through pressure differential detection. This feedback loop enables the system to adjust vaporization activity dynamically, activating only when needed and stopping when suction ceases, thereby preventing medication wastage
2Ease of operation
If the medication is passively sucked by the user, then the user can inhale the vapor medication, but the user fails to determine whether the medication is sufficiently delivered to the desired to-be-cured position
Solution Approach 1:
The flow module provides real-time feedback to the control module about user suction status through pressure differential detection. This feedback loop enables the system to adjust vaporization activity dynamically, activating only when needed and stopping when suction ceases, thereby preventing medication wastage
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces passive mechanical inhalation with an active suction assistance mechanism. The suction module generates positive pressure to actively push vapor medication molecules into deep respiratory positions, supplementing user inhalation capability and ensuring sufficient delivery to target areas
3Ease of manufacture
If the gaseous molecules of the medication have greater molecule volumes (usually greater than a micrometer scale), then the vaporization is easier, but the medication cannot be determined for sure to be sucked by the user
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces passive mechanical inhalation with an active suction assistance mechanism. The suction module generates positive pressure to actively push vapor medication molecules into deep respiratory positions, supplementing user inhalation capability and ensuring sufficient delivery to target areas
Solution Approach 2:
The suction module acts as an intermediary mechanism between the vapor medication source and the user's respiratory system. It provides the additional force needed to overcome the limitations of large molecule size and passive inhalation, ensuring reliable delivery to deep lung positions

AI summary
The present invention is an active vaporization suction system and a controlling method thereof. The system includes a medication device and an active suction device. The medication device is detachably mounted on the active suction device. When a suction module is suctioned, a flow module outputs a launching signal to a control module. The control module outputs a vaporization current control signal to a power supply module according to the launching signal. The power supply module generates and outputs a Joule vaporization current to a Joule vaporizer of the medication device according to the vaporization current control signal, so that the Joule vaporizer vaporizes a liquefied medication in a vaporization chamber into a vapor medication. In this way, when the user actively sucks the suction module, the user can take the vapor medication for medical treatment, which increases an absorption rate of the vapor medication.
