Description

Abdominal breath driving air purifier mask

The present invention relates to a ventral breathing interlocking type air supply mask device. Specifically, the present invention relates to an air pump that operates by abdominal breathing and has a large-area filter, a moving means for sending the air purified through the air pump to the respirator, and the purified air sent by the moving means to the secondary. By using a mask device to purify, breathe, and discharge, the user can breathe more comfortably by forcibly supplying the generated clean air to the mask by utilizing the reverse motion energy of the abdominal movement (abdominal breathing) caused by the user's breathing. It relates to a ventral breathing interlocking type air supply mask device to be able to.

In general, dust and fine dust, which are one of the main contributors of air pollution, are nitrate and ammonium ions generated as fine particles or impurities such as carbon, mainly from incineration of fossil fuels emitted artificially, incomplete combustion from automobiles, etc. , Ionic components such as sulfate, carbon compounds, and metal compounds, and some are caused by the scattering of fine dust in industrial sites such as coal mines, cement manufacturing, welding, painting, and some agriculture. .

It is caused by some natural phenomena. For example, yellow dust refers to a phenomenon in which fine sand dust raised to high altitude by strong winds in the loess area of Mongolia or northern China meets the western wind in the upper layer and is transported to the vicinity of the Korean Peninsula and gradually descends.

Fine dust is very thin and small dust particles that are invisible to our eyes, but as a material to cause various diseases by accumulating deep in the alveoli of humans, these measuring tools and analysis tools were not widely distributed in the past. The effect on the human body and the like was revealed in detail.

Normally, if the particle diameter of dust is 10㎛ or less, it is classified as fine dust, if it is 2.5㎛ or less, it is classified as ultrafine dust, and if it is less than 1㎛, it is classified as ultrafine dust. However, this may vary by some countries, but most countries are PM-10, PM-2.5, PM. It is called -1.0, and the generation amount ^{is expressed in mg per cubic meter of air (M 3} ), and the standard of each generation amount is determined, and the fine dust is sometimes expressed as "good", "bad", and "very bad".

In Korea, the number of days of occurrence of yellow dust and fine dust is increasing rapidly every year, and statistical data show that the number has increased by about five times in three years. In addition, the number of automobiles and the concentration of urbanization are increasing worldwide. In particular, in the winter season, air pollution is intensifying due to stagnation as soot from heating, etc., is concentrated on the stratum.

When exposed to fine dust for a long period of time, immunity rapidly decreases, causing changes in cardiovascular disease, skin disease, eye disease, headache, atopy, and other insulin resistance, as well as respiratory diseases such as colds, asthma, and bronchitis, causing harm to the human body.

The most common way to block such fine dust is to wear a disposable or reusable mask to cover your nose and mouth when going out. The mask uses a passive blocking method in which the mask and the face are in close contact to prevent the inflow of fine dust from the outside.

However, since the shape of the face varies from person to person, fine dust blocking performance deteriorates when the mask and face are not well sealed or wrinkled due to washing, external pressure, or repeated use.

In addition, since the mask does not allow moisture to escape well by breathing, the mask becomes moist and uncomfortable, and when worn for a long period of time, there is a problem that rather harms health due to the risk of bacterial growth.

Therefore, as a method to solve the above problems, products with an exhaust valve mounted on a mask are coming out.

However, the above-described product allows the high-humidity air discharged from the body to be easily discharged separately, and this can play a role in reducing condensate clogging due to humidity in the filter, so that the filtration effect can last for a longer time. In the winter season, considering that condensed water flows into the filter member and the filtration efficiency is further lowered, the reduction in the filter area due to the exhaust valve becomes a rather negative effect.

In particular, a mask for ultrafine dust has a dense tissue, which causes great inconvenience in breathing, and accordingly, it is sometimes manufactured by increasing the surface area of the mask. This increases the internal space of the mask proportionally, and has a structure in which carbon dioxide in the body remains inside the mask and is re-inhaled during breathing. This can be a factor that worsens headache or dizziness, especially in labor or walking that requires rough breathing.

In addition, products (air masks, etc.)in the form of industrial masks equipped with a separate air supply device and masks that increase the amount of air supplied through a separate filtration device by attaching a suction fan to the mask itself are also on the market, but the supply capacity is small. In some cases, unpleasant odors due to overheating of the fan motor coil are introduced, or the weight of the suction fan and the battery is large, which is a factor that users avoid.

In particular, in the case of a mask having an air supply device in which air is operated by a motor fan for safety purposes in the industry, a large-area filter can be applied in terms of air supply, making it efficient but forced air supply, and thus battery consumption due to an increase in air supply amount. Because of the increase, there is a problem in that the weight is increased due to the power battery, and at the same time, there may be a case in which the condition that the employer can supply sufficiently is not due to the high price, which causes another inconvenience.

On the other hand, breathing is usually divided into abdominal breathing and chest breathing.

Abdominal breathing is a breathing method that mainly moves the muscles of the stomach to stretch and contract the diaphragm.In preparation for chest breathing where the chest swells up and then subsides by thoracic exercise, there is a lot of ventilation in the lungs, and it is necessary to lower the diaphragm once to reach the depths of the lungs. Since it sucks in a large amount of air, it can be relatively slow breathing. In the case of jogging, cycling, and marathon, where rough breathing is required, athletes mainly use abdominal breathing.

Abdominal breathing as described above has the ability to stabilize the autonomic nervous system, and in particular, regulate and relax the nervous state of the brain, and has the effect of calming the heartbeat. Therefore, when the autonomic nervous system is stabilized, the body's own activity is good and the disease can be relieved. Effectively prevents, revitalizes cells, and strengthens immune function.

Accordingly, in the present invention, in using a mask for blocking dust and fine dust, while inducing abdominal breathing at the same time, clean air that is inhaled and filtered by the operation of the abdominal breathing is sent to the mask device so that the user can work or exercise. In the environment of rough breathing, the ventral breathing interlocking type air supply mask device was proposed to enable more comfortable breathing and to systematically habituate abdominal breathing at the same time.

In a way to solve the above problems, the present invention,

While inducing abdominal breathing at the same time, as inhaled by the action of abdominal breathing, clean air filtered through a large-capacity filter and a large surface area is sent to the mask device, allowing the user to breathe more comfortably in the environment of rough breathing caused by labor or exercise.
