In addition, measuring devices used in general to examine respiratory volume are classified into two methods. The first method is a method of quantitatively measuring a change in lung expansion and contraction, that is, a change in lung volume, and is a method of directly measuring a change in lung volume while a subject breathes according to a predetermined form. The second method is a method of detecting and measuring the flow of air flowing in and out of the lung while the subject breathes, and then integrating it to measure the respiratory volume.

In the past, the method of measuring the volume of lungs, which is the first method of measuring the volume of the lungs, was mainly used, but the structure of the test device used was complicated and the use of it was inconvenient due to movement.

Next, the supply unit may be formed of at least one rechargeable battery built in to provide power, or may include a power module capable of receiving external power by wire.

In addition, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the sensor unit 300 is a mouse provided at an end of the main body detection module 310 and the mouthpiece module 200 provided below the piston guide 130. It includes a piece detection module 320. The main body detection module 310 and the mouthpiece detection module 320 serve to measure the pressure or flow rate of the intake or exhalation of the user. That is, the main body detection module 310 and the mouthpiece detection module 320 are provided with a wireless communication module, after measuring the pressure or flow rate of the intake or exhalation of the user, and transmits the measured value to the control unit 400 do.

Next, the control unit 400 is provided. The control unit 400 analyzes the user's breath based on the measured value of the sensor unit 300 and serves to provide a suitable exercise schedule for the user. In addition, the control unit 400 includes a wireless communication module, based on the user's breathing information, exercise schedule management, exercise status feedback, exercise result analysis, calorie consumption by breathing exercise on a device such as the user's smartphone And the display unit 500 so that the breathing exercise game can be output.

Next, the display unit 500 is provided. The display unit 500 serves to output an analysis result and an exercise schedule of the control unit 400. That is, the user's lung capacity can be expressed as a digital value through a value calculated by the sensor unit 300, and the exercise schedule management and exercise status are managed by the control unit 400 on a device such as the user's smartphone. It can output feedback, exercise result analysis, and breathing exercise game.

In addition, referring to FIG. 9, the control unit 400 interlocks with the smart app of the display unit 500 so that the user can manage the exercise schedule of the control unit 400, exercise status feedback, exercise result analysis, and breathing exercise game You can receive and check in real time. As an example, after the user logs in by executing the smart app, a breathing exercise game such as (a) of FIG. 9 may be executed, and the maximum inhalation pressure and the maximum exhalation pressure as shown in FIG. 9 (b) may be measured. In addition, as shown in (c) of FIG. 9, the user's usage record may be inquired.

Next, referring to Figure 10, the mouthpiece detection module 320 is provided in a plurality of radially along the outer peripheral surface of the mouthpiece detection module 320, the hole portion for discharging the intake or exhaust of the user to the outside ( 321). In addition, the mouthpiece detection module 320 may further include a plurality of protrusions 322 provided spaced apart at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the mouthpiece detection module 320.

In addition, the mouthpiece module 210 for the breathing exercise includes a connecting portion 214 for coupling the mouthpiece module 210 for breathing exercise and the mouthpiece detection module 320, and the connecting portion 215 is the breathing It may include a groove 215 provided in a plurality in the radial direction along the outer peripheral surface of the exercise mouthpiece module 210.

In addition, the groove portion 215 is formed to correspond to the protrusion 322. That is, by inserting the protrusion 322 into the groove 215, the mouthpiece module 210 for breathing exercise and the mouthpiece detection module 320 are combined. The protrusion 322 is formed of an elastic material, or is formed to be drawn into or out of the mouthpiece detection module 320 by external force.

At this time, the hole portion 321 is exposed to the outside, and the mouthpiece module 210 for breathing exercise and the mouthpiece detection module 320 are combined, so that a portion of the user's intake or exhaust flows out. By doing so, the intensity of the breathing exercise can be adjusted. For example, referring to (a) of FIG. 10, the connection portion 214 is inserted close to the base portion of the mouthpiece detection module 320 to indicate that the hole portion 321 is not exposed to the outside. As described above, when the hole portion 321 is not exposed to the outside, the intake or exhaust of the user does not leak, so it can be said that the intensity of the breathing exercise is relatively low. In addition, referring to (b) of FIG. 10, the connection portion 214 is inserted close to an end of the mouthpiece detection module 320 to indicate a state in which the hole portion 321 is exposed to the outside. As described above, when the hole portion 321 is exposed to the outside, a portion of the intake or exhaust of the user is discharged to the outside, so the intensity of the breathing exercise can be said to be relatively high.

That is, a portion of the intake or exhaust of the user is not transmitted to the sensor unit 300, so that the sensor unit 300 measures the reduced intake or exhaust. Thus, by exposing the hole portion 321 to the outside, it is possible to adjust the intensity of the respiratory movement. In addition, an opening / closing member (not shown) may be provided to selectively open / close the plurality of hole portions 321 as necessary. That is, the opening and closing member is provided to open and close a portion of the plurality of hole portions 321 individually. Therefore, when the plurality of hole portions 321 are exposed to the outside and the intensity of the breathing exercise is high, the opening and closing member individually opens and closes a specific hole portion 321 of the plurality of hole portions 321, thereby increasing the strength of the breathing exercise. Can be adjusted more finely.

Next, referring to Figure 12, the mouthpiece module 200, the user's intake or exhalation further comprises an adjustment hole 330 for adjusting the amount of flow to the sensor unit 300, the adjustment The hole 330 is closed when measuring the user's breathing, and allows the user's inhalation or exhalation to flow to the sensor unit 300, and when the user's breathing exercise is open, the user's inhalation or exhalation Is to flow out, so that the intensity of the breathing exercise can be adjusted. That is, when the adjustment hole 330 is closed by rotating the mouthpiece detection module 320 in the longitudinal direction of the mouthpiece main body 212 as an axis, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the exhalation flows completely to the sensor unit 300 without leaking, so that the amount of intake or exhalation of the user can be accurately measured. On the other hand, when the adjustment hole 330 is opened by rotating the mouthpiece detection module 320 in the longitudinal direction of the mouthpiece main body 212 as an axis, as shown in FIG. By allowing a part of inhalation or exhalation to flow out, it is possible to increase the intensity of the user's breathing exercise. As a result, by adjusting the degree to which the adjustment hole 330 is opened, it is possible to control the intensity of the breathing motion of the user, thereby enabling more efficient breathing motion.

In addition, a filter 2221 may be provided at an upper portion of the adjustment hole 330 to prevent the humidity from increasing inside the mouthpiece body 212. The portable breathing exercise and breath measuring apparatus of the present invention is formed to measure the exhalation of the user, and thus there is a problem in that the humidity inside the mouthpiece body 212 may be increased due to the exhalation of the user. Therefore, the filter 2221 is provided to remove moisture inside the mouthpiece body 212, so that it can be used more hygienically.

Hereinafter, the operation of the portable breathing exercise and breath measuring apparatus according to the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail.

First, the mouthpiece module 200 is coupled to the connection hole 170. In this case, the mouthpiece module 210 for breathing exercise or the mouthpiece module 220 for breathing measurement may be combined according to the purpose of the user.

Thereafter, when the user combines the mouthpiece module 210 for the breathing exercise with the connection hole 170, after placing the inlet 211 in the mouth of the user, intake or exhalation in the direction of the inlet Infuse.

At this time, referring to Figure 4, when measuring the intake, the piston 110 and the flow rate gauge 120 is increased due to the intake of the user. That is, the intake of the user pushes the piston 110 and the flow rate gauge 120 up. At this time, the piston 110 is formed of a rubber material, the friction force with the piston guide 130 is formed larger than the weight of the piston 110. Therefore, the piston 110 raised and lowered by the user's intake is to remain stationary at that position due to friction between the piston 110 and the piston guide 130 even when the user's intake is stopped. Thereafter, referring to FIG. 5, the user measures the exhalation of the user with the body portion 100 turned over so that the connection hole 170 is located on the upper side. That is, the handle 160 is rotated 180 degrees relative to the central longitudinal section of the main body 100 to maintain the same shape. Thereafter, the piston 110 is raised again by the user's exhalation, and this is measured to compare and measure the amount of intake and exhalation of the user. That is, by measuring the exhalation of the user using the piston 110 in an elevated state due to the intake of the user, it is possible to compare the intake and the amount of exhalation of the user.

As a result, after the piston 110 lifted by the user's intake is stopped, the main body 100 is rotated, and then the user's exhalation is measured to measure the position of the piston 100. Divide the user's inspiration and exhalation so that they can exercise or measure. That is, the amount of inhalation and exhalation of the user can be compared, and when measuring breathing, the user's inhalation and exhalation can be measured by dividing it, thereby enabling a more accurate measurement of the user's inhalation and exhalation. By dividing and exercising the user's intake and exhalation, there is an advantage of selecting a portion of the user's intake and exhalation that has a relatively small amount of breath and exercising intensively.

Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the control unit 400 and the display unit 500 of the portable breathing exercise and breath measurement apparatus according to the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail.

First, referring to FIGS. 13 and 14, the user registers user information with the control unit 400 through the screen of the display unit 500. At this time, the user information may be divided into a plurality and stored. After registering the user information, the user executes a game, diagnosis, and record tab to perform breathing exercise and breath measurement.

15, when the user executes the game tab, a game to be played is selected from among a plurality of games. In one example, the game proceeds by selecting an individual match, a PC match, or a PVP (person match). The game basically proceeds with the characters in the display unit 500 rising and falling according to the intake and exhalation of the user, avoiding obstacles, and acquiring fruits. Then, when the game ends, the breathing result is output as an example, a pressure graph result (pressure / time) and a score result (fruit score, energy remaining), so that the user can view the result.

Next, referring to FIG. 16, when the user executes the diagnostic tab, information such as the highest record and the average record can be checked, and for example, the recent five respiration exercises and measurement values can be output. In addition, the horizontal axis represents the time, and the vertical axis calculates the graph corresponding to the pressure so that the average value can be calculated, so that the recent respiratory movements and measured values can be viewed at a glance. Then, the calculated graph is automatically saved as a file so that it can be transmitted and received. Lastly, by analyzing the calculated graph, the user's strengths and weaknesses are output, and a method for reproducing the shape of the graph with optimal breathing is proposed.

Next, referring to FIGS. 17 and 18, when the user executes the recording tab, it is possible to view the respiratory movements and measured values stored so far by time. As an example, 2019.09.09. When you click 10:00:00, exercise time 30sec, you can check information such as maximum intake pressure, intake pressure average, maximum exhalation pressure, exhalation pressure average, total exercise time. At this time, the breathing exercise and the measurement is automatically recorded if the exercise is performed for 3 seconds or more.

As a result, the control unit 400 and the display unit 500 are operated, so that the user can continuously proceed with breathing and measurement more boringly, and in the case of children, breathing exercises and measurements can be made with interest. It has the advantage of making it possible.
