In modern society, the incidence and mortality rate of pulmonary diseases are rapidly increasing due to the increase of smoking, the increase of fine dust in the atmosphere, and rapid aging. According to the recent World Health Organization (WHO), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the fourth leading cause of death in the world. As a result, annual medical expenses are increasing in astronomical use.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the most common chronic lung disease in which pulmonary function is gradually deteriorated due to irreversible airway obstruction. As the disease progresses gradually, the bronchus becomes narrower and narrower, In particular, when the air is exhaled (exhaled), the air does not move well, resulting in breathing difficulties. Dyspnea reduces exercise and causes weakness of respiratory muscles. After that, it causes dyspnea even at lower intensity exercise, and it follows a vicious cycle in which the exercise amount decreases again. Respiratory rehabilitation treats these patients with exercise therapy to break the vicious cycle, allowing patients to live as much as possible within their limited lung function limits and improve their quality of life. Therefore, respiratory training is essential for the treatment and recovery of patients with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).

Because of the nature of the disease, respiratory training is important to educate the proper breathing method because airway obstruction can not be sufficiently transferred to the outside of the body. In particular, positive pressure breathing training is performed for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Positive pressure breathing increases the functional residual amount by applying positive pressure during respiration, especially at the end of respiration, and opens the occluded airway. (PEEP) or CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Breathing) is a method of increasing the oxygen partial pressure in arterial blood by opening the alveolar narrowing down to pulmonary edema .

A commonly used respiratory trainer is designed to allow the ball to move within three cylinders and to perform breathing exercises in which the patient blows air into the cylinder and lifts the ball up. However, this training method can only provide simple and repetitive training, does not provide a systematic training method, has no information on changes in breathing patterns during training, and can not be evaluated for its current state .

The second housing part 130 has a cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. 5, and has a second housing coupling part 135 at one end and an intake training mouthpiece part 132 at the other end. The second housing engaging portion 135 is for engaging with the first housing engaging portion 115, and has a groove on the lower inner side to form a step. The second housing part 130 has a ring-shaped mesh net support groove groove 137 for fixing and mounting the mesh net support part 180 inside the second housing part 130.

6 (a) is a bottom perspective view of the moving film, and Fig. 6 (b) is a bottom view of the moving film. 7 (a) shows the upper surface of the moving film when the spring fixing member is not provided, and Fig. 7 (b) shows the upper surface of the moving film when the spring fixing member 156 is provided. 7A, the spring 170 can be fused to the upper surface of the moving film by heat, ultrasonic waves, an adhesive, or the like. In the case of FIG. 7 (b), the lower end of the spring 170 can be fitted and fixed to the annular spring fixing member 156.

6 and 7, the moving film 150 has a ring-shaped resistance adjusting portion mounting groove 151 having a plurality of through holes, that is, a moving film through hole 155 on one side, One end of the spring 170 is mounted and fixed to the side surface. The moving membrane through holes 155 are spaced apart at regular intervals. In the resistance adjusting portion mounting groove 151, a resistance adjusting portion 160 is rotatably mounted in the resistance adjusting portion mounting groove 151. In some cases, the upper end of the resistance adjusting portion mounting groove 151 is provided with a step, so that the resistance adjusting portion 160 can be prevented from falling out.

As shown in FIG. 8, the resistance adjusting portion 160 includes a plurality of through holes, that is, a resistance adjusting portion through hole 165, and is formed in a ring shape. The resistance adjusting portion through holes 165 are spaced apart at regular intervals. The resistance adjusting portion 160 is mounted in the moving film 150 to adjust the air passing through the moving film 150 by making the moving film through hole 155 open or blocking it.

The resistance adjusting unit 160 mounted on the moving film 150 inputs a resistance value (i.e., an air flow resistance (intensity) value) in the app of the smart device 200, The intensity (ie, the airflow resistance strength) is automatically adjusted to adjust the resistance during breathing training.

In this case, although not shown, a resistance regulating unit driving means 167 such as a motor for rotating the resistance regulating unit 160 may be provided in accordance with the resistance regulating unit driving signal from the smart device 200. A resistance regulating portion (not shown) is provided on the outer sidewall or the inner sidewall of the resistance regulating portion 160, and a resistance regulating portion (not shown) for moving the resistance regulating portion teeth (not shown) The driving means 167 can be provided on the inner side of the moving film 150.

One end of the spring 170 is mounted on the upper surface of the moving membrane 150, and the other end is mounted on the mesh net support portion 180.

The spring 170 may be fused to the mesh net support 180 by heat, ultrasonic waves, an adhesive or the like, or may be fixed by a spring support member (not shown) provided on the mesh net support 180 . This causes the spring 170 to contract or expand as the moving film moves during the breath training or during the intake training so that the electrical resistance value detected from the spring 170 is changed. A resistance detection sensor (not shown) for detecting the electrical resistance of the spring 170 may be mounted on the mesh network support 180 or the moving membrane 150 and is preferably mounted on the mesh network support 180 have. In this case, the resistance detection sensor (not shown) may be used as a respiratory flow and flow rate sensor.

10 (a) and 10 (b) illustrate a combined state of the moving film and the resistance adjusting part of FIG. 2, FIG. 10 The air flow is adjusted according to the degree of overlap of the movable membrane through hole 155 and the resistance adjusting section through hole 165 in accordance with the rotation of the resistance adjusting section in a state where the adjusting section is engaged, . That is, the air flow resistance strength at the time of exhalation or at the time of intake is different. This is because, depending on the setting of the air flow resistance value (intensity) of the user in the smart device 200, the resistance adjusting portion is rotated so that the degree to which the moving membrane through hole 155 and the resistance adjusting portion through hole 165 overlap, The air flow resistance strength can be changed.

FIG. 11 is a sectional view for explaining a state in which the moving membrane is not moved in the portable respiration trainer of FIG. 2, and FIG. 12 is a sectional view for explaining a state in which the moving membrane is moved in the portable respiration trainer of FIG.

During the breathing training, when the breathing mouthpiece portion 112 is opened and the breath is exhaled (that is, when the breathing portion is exhaled from the moving membrane 150 side), the moving membrane 150 is pushed and moved so that the spring 170 is reduced do.

During the intake training, the moving membrane 150 comes to the mesh net support portion 180 when the mouth of the breathing training mouthpiece 132 is opened and the breath is exhaled (that is, when the breathing is performed from the mesh net support 180 side) And contracts the spring 170.

As the air flow resistance value (i.e., the air flow resistance strength) set in both the exhalation and the intake training is increased, the movement of the movement film 150 becomes difficult and the movement of the movement film 150 becomes easier as the air flow resistance value becomes smaller Thereby making it easier to shrink the spring 170. During respiration training and measurement, respiratory flow and velocity measurement sensors (not shown) mounted on the mesh net support 180 measure the amount and speed of respiration and the measured values are displayed on the app screen.
