This is a characteristic feature.

(Function) The nose piece for an inhalation type thermotherapy device according to the first claim is composed of a nose piece body, a pair of support parts, a pair of insertion parts, a bridge part, and an exhaust hole, and has a flexible structure. It is made of materials. Therefore, it deforms appropriately and fits accurately to noses of various shapes. Also, even if for some reason it hits your nose strongly, it won't hurt your nose and you can use it safely. Furthermore, the pair of support parts formed in a substantially circular arc shape fit into the nose, and steam is supplied with the pair of insertion parts inserted into the nostrils in an appropriate amount, so there is less leakage of steam and the steam is not leaked into the nostrils. Steam is effectively supplied. In addition, since an exhaust hole is formed, the flow of steam can be maintained even when not inhaling, preventing steam from staying in the nosepiece, and reducing the temperature of steam entering the nostrils. It can be kept approximately constant.

In the case of the second claim, the shape of the nosepiece body is further specified, and at least at the upper end, the cross-sectional shape is an oval or an ellipse that is elongated in the direction of the pair of insertion portions. This improves the fit to the nose and at the same time minimizes leakage and outflow of steam to areas other than the nostrils, thereby preventing uncomfortable heat during treatment.

In the case of the fifth claim, the position of the exhaust hole is specified, and is formed at an arbitrary position within a range of 40 plates from the tip of the insertion portion. This is a range that can prevent steam from staying in the nosepiece and provide steam at an appropriate temperature. In other words, when intake is stopped, the tip of the exhaust hole becomes a dead water area where no steam flows, and as the steam in this area releases heat in the process of changing into water droplets, the temperature of the dead water area rises rapidly. The culm becomes unable to withstand treatment. In order to suppress this phenomenon as much as possible, exhaust holes may be provided to minimize the dead water area, taking into consideration strength and workability.

In the case of claim 6, the total opening area of all the exhaust holes is 25% or more of the area of the opening at the lower end of the nosepiece body, and the exhaust when steam is exhausted from the nosepiece to the atmosphere. By reducing the resistance and making it easier to exhaust, it is possible to prevent steam from stagnation and provide steam at an appropriate temperature.

In the case of the seventh claim, the position and number of exhaust holes are specified. If the exhaust hole is placed in a direction perpendicular to the line connecting the pair of nostrils, when the nosepiece is placed against the nose, the exhaust steam will directly hit the lips, making it hot and unbearable for treatment. However, if one is provided at each target position in the direction of the pair of insertion parts, it is possible to prevent the exhaust steam from hitting the face, and the opening area can be increased, making it possible to minimize the exhaust resistance. can.

In the case of claim 8, the attachment/detachment structure between the nosepiece body and the lid body is specified, and first, the lower end of the nosepiece body is inserted into the inside of the lid body, so that vapor or liquefied droplets are absorbed. It will not leak outside. Furthermore, since at least the lower end of the nosepiece body is tapered in a predetermined direction, airtightness is ensured and slight inclination can be easily absorbed.

As already mentioned, the heater mechanism 7 is provided with a positive temperature coefficient thermistor 8, and the temperature is controlled by this positive coefficient thermistor 8. In other words, when a certain temperature (Curipoint) is reached, the positive temperature coefficient thermistor 8
The resistance value of the current increases rapidly, the current value decreases, and as a result, the amount of electric power decreases. Therefore, further heating is regulated. This is shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a characteristic diagram showing time changes on the horizontal axis and power consumption on the vertical axis. When heating is started, the temperature of the water in the water heating tank 3 gradually rises, and the power consumption therefore gradually decreases as shown by characteristic curve a in the figure. The power is stabilized at approximately 90W due to the function of the positive temperature coefficient thermistor 8 described above. As shown in the figure, this is a normal case where water is stored in the water boiling tank 3. In the case of dry heating with no water, the fuse is closed as shown in the characteristic curve in the figure. 10 functions and heating stops.

Next, regarding the timer mentioned above, the time required for one treatment is usually about 15 minutes, so when starting the treatment, if you set it to about 15 minutes with dial 13 of timer 9, it will automatically start. The switch is turned off. Note that the timer of this embodiment can be set up to a maximum of 30 minutes, and in any case, the switch is turned off after 30 minutes have elapsed.

The upper opening 1 a of the housing 1 is closed by an inner cap 15 . This inner cap 15 can be attached to and detached from the housing 1 by screwing. A seal ring 17 is installed between the inner cap 15 and the water heating tank 3. Further, a nozzle 19 is housed in the center of the inner cap 15, and the steam generated in the water boiling tank 3 flows upward through this one nozzle.

An adjustment ring 21 is rotatably attached above the inner cap 15, and the adjustment ring 21 has openings 21 extending over a plurality of locations (four locations in this embodiment) in the circumferential direction.
3 is formed. Further, an adjustment knob 25 is formed at the edge of the opening 23 so as to protrude outward. On the other hand, the outer cap 2 is placed so as to cover the adjustment ring 21.
7 is installed. This outer cap 27 fits into the annular stepped portion of the inner cap 15. Two openings are formed in the outer cap 15 at multiple locations in the circumferential direction (four locations corresponding to the adjustment ring 21 in this embodiment), and the adjustment knob 25 of the adjustment ring 21 is located outside of these two openings. It stands out. That is, by rotating the inner adjustment link 21 by an appropriate amount via the adjustment knob 25, the openings 23 and 29 are brought into communication with each other by a desired amount, thereby adjusting the amount of air sucked.

Next, the structure of the upper end of the outer cap 27 and the nose piece 31 that is attached to and detached therefrom will be explained.
1 has a substantially cylindrical shape as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and has a nosepiece body 33 made of a flexible material such as silicone rubber, and this nosepiece body 33 is open at the lower end. , and the lower end thereof is tapered to reduce the outer diameter. (Hereinafter referred to as the taper portion 35)
On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, the upper end portion of the outer cap 27 is tapered so that its inner diameter increases upward (tapered portion 37). By connecting the nose piece 31 and the outer cap 27 through the tapered portions 35 and 37 in this manner, airtightness is ensured, and as shown in FIG. , and the slope between them is easily absorbed.

A pair of three support portions 39 are formed at the upper end of the nose piece body 33 in a direction perpendicular to a line connecting a pair of nostrils of the user. These three support parts have a substantially arcuate notch shape, and the proximal and distal ends of the user's nose are seated thereon. The three pairs of support parts mentioned above are connected via a bridge part 41, as shown in FIG. This bridge portion 41 gradually becomes wider at a predetermined angle β in the direction of the connecting portion with the support portion 39. The predetermined angle β is determined within a range of 60° to 120°, and is 90° in this embodiment. This is to improve the fit to the nose, to prevent areas other than the nostrils from becoming unbearably hot during treatment, and to improve mechanical strength.

A pair of insertion portions 43.43 are formed at the upper end of the nosepiece body 33 between the pair of support portions 39.39. This insertion portion 43 is formed to protrude upward, and as shown in FIG. 5, its tip angle α is from 18° to
It is determined within a range of 96°. In this embodiment, the angle is 66°.

The insertion portion 43.43 is inserted into the user's nostril by a desired amount.

Exhaust holes 45, 45 are formed in the nosepiece body 33. This exhaust hole 45 has a function of preventing steam from staying inside the nosepiece body 33 when not being inhaled, and a part of the steam supplied from inside the housing 1 is exhausted to the outside through this exhaust hole 45. be done. By the way, regarding the position where the exhaust hole 45 is formed, the nose piece body 33
In order to prevent steam from accumulating inside the tube, it is desirable that it be placed as high as possible. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, in consideration of manufacturing aspects, the insertion portion 43 is formed at an arbitrary position so that the distance Nρ from the tip to the upper end of the exhaust hole is within 40 mm. There is. Further, the circumferential position and number are not particularly limited, and in this embodiment, two pieces are formed in total, one on each side of the nose piece body corresponding to the pair of insertion parts 4343.

This is the opening area of the exhaust hole 45, but this is the opening area of all the exhaust holes 4.
The total area of the openings 5 is set to be 25% or more of the area of the opening at the lower end of the nosepiece body 33. This is calculated from experiments, and the nosepiece body 3
If the amount of steam supplied inside the nosepiece is 100, if the amount of steam inside the nosepiece is 75% or less, you will not feel that hot even when not inhaling, and conversely, if it is over 75%, you will not feel hot. I get angry. Note that fever here means a fever that requires interruption of treatment. Therefore, an exhaust hole 45 is provided so that at least 25% of the steam can be exhausted.
The total opening area is set to 25% or more. In the case of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, 20
of air is sucked through the two openings 23.2, resulting in a mixed flow of 100. The temperature of the mixed stream supplied into the nostrils is then in the range from 35°C to 50°C, preferably 43°C. The position and opening area of the exhaust hole 45 already described are for realizing this temperature.

The operation will be explained based on the above configuration. First, put a predetermined amount of water into the water boiling tank 3 and turn on one switch. As a result, heating by the heater mechanism 7 is started, and the water in the water boiling tank 3 is gradually heated. On the other hand, the user
As shown in the figure and FIG.
1 is attached.

The water in the water boiling tank 3 is heated and steam begins to be generated.

This generated steam is passed through the nozzle 19 to the inner cap 2.
1, outside air is sucked in via the openings 23.2 by ejector action, resulting in a mixed flow of steam and air. This mixed flow flows through the outer cap 27 into the nosepiece 31, from where it is partly exhausted, sometimes through the exhaust hole 43, and the remainder is sucked into the user's nostrils 53 for treatment. . During this time, the user only needs to perform normal breathing exercises, and the steam will circulate due to the suction force and the pressure within the water boiling tank 3. Incidentally, the suction method may be such that the entire apparatus is slightly tilted as shown in FIG. 12, and there is no fear of leakage of steam or hot water.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.

First, the nosepiece 31 according to this embodiment can be accurately fitted to noses of various shapes and can be used safely.

This is because the nosepiece 31 is made of a visible material and easily deforms according to the shape of the nose, and the three support parts and the insertion part 41 are made of a material that conforms to the shape of the nose. Depends on what you're doing. Therefore, there is little steam leakage, and steam can be reliably introduced into the nostrils 53, thereby improving the therapeutic effect.

In addition, the tip angle of the insertion portion 43 is set appropriately, and the shape of the bridge portion 41 is widened at a predetermined angle at both ends, thereby further enhancing the fit to the nose 51 and at the same time ensuring that areas other than the nostrils are closed. This can prevent your body from becoming too hot to tolerate treatment.

In addition, the exhaust hole 45 can prevent steam from accumulating in the nosepiece 31. In particular, the exhaust hole 45 is positioned within a predetermined dimension and has a predetermined opening area. This prevents steam from accumulating and allows steam to be supplied at an appropriate temperature.

Furthermore, although the nose piece 31 and the outer cap 27 are attached and detached, tapered portions 35 and 37 are formed on both of them so that the nose piece 31 side is inserted into the outer cap 27, so that steam does not liquefy. It is possible to prevent saliva droplets and the like from flowing out to the outside, and a slight inclination between the two can be easily absorbed. Furthermore, it is also possible to use the nose piece 31 by tilting it in a direction that is easy to use.

Next, another embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. This is related to the attachment/detachment structure between the nose piece 31 and the outer cap 27. The lower end of the nose piece 31 is made spherical (indicated by reference numeral 61 in the figure), and a spherical seat 63 is provided on the inner periphery of the upper end of the two outer caps. The two are connected by forming and fitting them together. In this case as well, the droplets are prevented from flowing out, and the inclination between the two is easily absorbed.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the inhalation type thermotherapy device and the nosepiece for the inhalation type thermotherapy device according to the present invention can accurately fit noses of various shapes, eliminate steam leakage, and provide safe and comfortable At the same time, it is possible to improve the therapeutic effect. In addition, the nosepiece can be easily attached and detached from the lid body, making it easy to clean and hygienic. It also prevents leakage of fluid to the outside from the attachment and detachment part, and can absorb the tilt between the two. can. Furthermore, the exhaust hole allows adjustment of the supplied vapor landscape, and has great effects, such as being able to prevent vapor from stagnation within the nosepiece.
