Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a health appliance for maintaining health.

[0002]

2. Description of the Prior Art When a baby catches a cold and emits nasal discharge and suffers from breathing, it is necessary to remove the nasal discharge. For this reason,
At home, a dropper-type suction device or a suction device that sucks by mouth is conventionally used. There is no device that sucks sputum.

[0003]

The dropper-type suction device used for suctioning nasal secretions has weak suction power and cannot completely remove nasal secretions. The suction device that sucks by mouth can be removed to some extent,
I'm worried about getting a cold and it's not the right way to go. It is difficult to use these aspirators for removing sputum from adults and the elderly. Therefore, there is a need for a nasal suction device that does not cause a cold to be transferred, and a suction device that can also be used for removing sputum is desirable.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a fan motor 2 having a power to suck nasal discharge and sputum is used. A DC motor is used as the fan motor 2 and is operated by the battery 12 so that the fan motor 2 can be easily used and moved. Although a dry battery or a rechargeable battery is used for the battery 12, an AC motor may be used for the fan motor 2 using a domestic power source.

[0005] A fixed filter 3 is mounted on a case 1 for housing the fan motor 2 so as to partition the fan motor 2 and the replacement filter storage space 4. A replacement filter 11 is stored in the replacement filter storage location 4, is sucked from the nozzle 9, and is fed into the replacement filter 11 from the suction port 7 provided above the replacement filter storage location 4 via the tube 10. The stored nasal discharge and sputum are stored.

The upper cover 14 of the replacement filter storage space 4 is openable so that the replacement filter 11 can be replaced with a new one at any time. There is a nozzle storage space 5 in front of the replacement filter storage space 4 so that the nozzle 9 and the tube 10 can be stored when not in use.

[0007] An exhaust port 8 is provided on the side of the case 1, which is behind the fan motor 2, so as to exhaust the sucked air and the heat generated by the fan motor 2.

The battery 12 is used as a power source for the fan motor 2. The battery storage space 6 is provided at the lower part of the case 1 so that the case 1 does not fall down even if it is placed.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The nozzle is replaceable, and can be used separately for nasal discharge and sputum.

[0010] A handle can be attached for convenient carrying.

In order to store the replacement filter, a mesh-like case can be installed in the replacement filter storage location.

[0012]

An embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view in which a part of the nasal discharge and sputum suction device is cut away.
A battery storage space 6 is provided at the lower part of the case 1 so that the back cover is removed and the batteries 12 are refilled. The upper part of the battery storage space 6 is partitioned by a fan motor 2, a replacement filter storage space 4, and a nozzle storage space 5, and the fixed motor 3 separates the fan motor 2 and the replacement filter storage space 4. The operation of the fan motor 2 is controlled by a switch 13 wired from the battery 12 to the fan motor 2 and incorporated in the case 1. It is also possible to incorporate a substrate, control the rotation speed of the fan motor 2, and change the suction force. The switch 13 may be attached to the nozzle 9. The battery 12 can be a dry battery or a rechargeable battery, and can be used as a power source by inserting an adapter into an outlet.

The upper cover 14 of the replacement filter storage space 4 is openable and closable.
The root of 0 is inserted and fixed. The replacement filter 11 is set in the replacement filter storage location 4, and when the nasal discharge or sputum is stored, the upper cover 14 is opened and the old replacement filter 11 is discarded.
Is installed.

The nozzle 9 is of a fitting type with a tip and a root, and can be removed and washed. Tube 1 at the root
Then, the suctioned nasal discharge is delivered to the replacement filter 11 via the tube 10. To suck the sputum, the nozzle 9 and the tube 10 are exchanged.

The air sucked from the nozzle 9 is exhausted by providing an exhaust port 8 on the rear side surface of the case 1. The heat generated by the fan motor 2 is also discharged from the exhaust port 8.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the nasal discharge and sputum suction device taken along the line AA 'in FIG. The fan motor 2, fixed filter 3, replacement filter storage space 4, nozzle storage space 5, battery storage space 6, intake port 7, and exhaust port 8 stored in the case 1 are shown. 1 shows a state in which it is pulled out.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram. The case 1 is provided with a battery storage space 6 in the lower part, and the lower lid is opened and closed to refill the batteries 12. In the upper part of the case 1, a fan motor 2 is divided by a fixed filter 3 into a replacement filter storage space 4 and a nozzle storage space 5 located at the front. The cover 15 of the fan motor 2 has an exhaust port 8 and is fitted to the upper and lower partition plates of the case 1 separately from other portions. An upper lid 14 is provided on the upper part of the replacement filter storage space 4 so as to be openable and closable. Juan motor 2
Is operated by the switch 13.

[0018]

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION The suction power is good, nasal discharge and sputum can be removed well, and there is no fear that a cold will be transferred.

It is easy to use and easy to carry.

Since it can be used when sputum cannot be cut by itself, the elderly also do not suffer from clogging of sputum.

It can also be used for clogging of throat with rice cakes and foreign substances.

Since the nasal discharge is not wiped off with paper, the nose is not irritated.
