Description

Diving Equalization Training Device

The present disclosure relates to a diving equalizing training apparatus, and more particularly, to a diving equalizing training apparatus capable of monitoring equalizing training by sensing the pressure of air coming out of the nostrils using a pressure sensor.

Scuba diving is a representative underwater leisure sport that observes and tours the aquatic environment while breathing using compressed air in the water. (static apnea), horizontal diving (dynamic apnea), vertical diving (constant weight/free immersion), etc.

The most important thing in such diving is equalizing (pressure equalization) to 'resolve ear blockage', and in general, it is common to close the nostrils with your hands and exhale strongly through the nose. The principle is that the middle ear behind the eardrum is connected to the nose. When you exhale with the nose closed, the air that should normally go out through the nostrils cannot go out. Instead, it is sent to the middle ear to relieve pressure on the eardrum. Equalizing is the key to diving because you need to control the pressure difference that occurs during diving to make a deeper dive.

As an equalizing method, there are 'Valsalva', a method of holding the nose and blowing wind, and 'Toinbee', a method of holding the nose and swallowing saliva, but these are difficult to apply in deep water. Frenzel' is the recommended method.

On the other hand, as the equalizing training device, a device for training while controlling the size of the balloon by blowing a balloon through the nose through the equalizing training device to which the balloon is mounted is disclosed.

However, such a conventional training apparatus has a problem in that it is difficult to accurately monitor whether equalization is being performed correctly.

It is preferable that the cone-shaped members are each formed differently in size and gradually become smaller in the longitudinal direction of the first frame 111, thereby reducing the use of the training device 100 from children to adults. It is possible, and the accuracy of training monitoring can be improved by increasing the confidentiality effect when used.

The second frame 112 may be configured by coupling at least one member having a cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. 4 , and the second frame 112 passes through one side of the first frame 111 .
