Description

Breathing Trainer

The invention relates to a training device, in particular to a training device for training lung capacity.

With the increasing air pollution and the aging of the population, the number of patients suffering from respiratory diseases is increasing year by year. If respiratory diseases are not treated, air is easily trapped in the trachea and lungs, which in turn blocks the discharge of air, causing the patient's exhalation force to gradually decrease, and even making it impossible to remove phlegm and keep the respiratory tract smooth.

In view of this, patients with respiratory diseases often need to relieve their condition by deep inhalation and exhalation exercises to train their lung capacity, but traditional lung capacity training devices are boring and uninteresting. Young children with respiratory diseases often need to relieve their condition by deep inhalation and exhalation exercises to train their lung capacity, but this exercise process is not only boring and tedious for young children, but also easy to lose patience and perseverance.

Although existing breathing training devices can train breathing, they still have the following disadvantages when actually used:

1. Unable to understand the results of training: The main function of general breathing training devices is to block the circulation of breathing, so that patients need to use more muscle mass to breathe, so that patients can breathe more powerfully. However, general breathing training devices are not equipped with detectors, and it is impossible to obtain the user's breathing volume and understand the patient's training results.

2. Loss of motivation to train: Some young children with respiratory diseases can use general breathing training devices to alleviate their condition, but the training process is not only boring and tedious for young children, but also easy to lose patience and perseverance, and lose motivation to train and interrupt training.

3. Doctors have no way of knowing the condition of young children: Although doctors can confirm the patient's physical condition during the consultation, the human body's condition can change at any time, making it impossible for doctors to accurately judge the patient's physical condition and further unable to give patients better training recommendations.

Therefore, how to keep children's breathing training motivated and achieve the effect of training is a goal that relevant technical personnel urgently need to work hard on.

In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a breathing trainer for a user to breathe. The breathing trainer includes a main unit, a training unit and a control unit.

The airflow detection module 41 detects the air flow rate, the control module 51 calculates the user's breathing volume based on the detection data of the airflow detection module 41, and the display module 52 displays the data of the control module 51. Preferably, the airflow detection module 41 is a blade structure, and the air output or inhaled by the ventilation inner tube 42 can drive the airflow detection module 41 to rotate. When the speed of the airflow detection module 41 is higher, it means that the user exhales more air. Conversely, when the speed of the airflow detection module 41 is lower, it means that the user exhales less air. The control module 51 calculates the user's breathing volume based on the number of rotations of the airflow detection module 41. In actual implementation, other methods can also be used to calculate the user's breathing volume, which should not be limited to this. The housing 31 is provided with a ventilation gap. In the preferred embodiment, the ventilation gap is a gap between the housing 31 and the wheel for circulating air so that the user can use the airflow detection module 41 to breathe.

The control module 51 is connected to a computer device through the wireless transmission module 53. In the preferred embodiment, the wireless transmission module 53 is connected to the computer device through Bluetooth to transmit data to each other. In actual implementation, other data transmission technologies can also be used, but should not be limited to this. The control module 51 transmits the user's breathing volume to the computer device. The program in the computer device can record the user's breathing volume, training results and time each time, and can automatically generate charts for the user to review.

The operation setting module 54 detects the operation of the airflow detection module 41 to activate the power of the control module 51 when the user breathes. Preferably, the operation time set by the operation setting module 54 is 1 minute, but not limited thereto. When the control module 51 is on standby, the display module 52 does not display any information to reduce power consumption. When the user breathes and drives the airflow detection module 41 to rotate, the operation setting module 54 starts the power of the control module 51 to obtain the user's breathing volume. After the airflow detection module 41 stops rotating, the operation setting module 54 controls the operation time of the control module 51 to 1 minute. If the airflow detection module 41 does not rotate within 1 minute, the operation setting module 54 turns off the power of the control module 51 to put it on standby. When the airflow detection module 41 rotates again within 1 minute, the operation setting module 54 returns to zero and restarts the timing. The airflow detection module 41 is provided with a power generation structure, and the battery 57 can be charged when the airflow detection module 41 rotates. The magnetic resistance in the power generation structure can provide resistance to the user's blowing, thereby enhancing the intensity of the user's breathing training. Since the power generation structure is a known technology, it will not be described in detail here.

In the preferred embodiment, the shell 31 looks like a model car, the moving module 33 is a plurality of wheels, the shell 31 can be moved by the moving module 33, the drive module 34 is a motor driver, which can draw power from the battery 57 to operate, the drive module 34 can drive the moving module 33 to move the shell 31, and the control module 51 controls the drive module 34.

The mobile setting module 55 sets the operation of the drive module 34 according to the breathing volume of the user. The mobile setting module 55 stores different blowing volumes and corresponding operation times. The stored blowing volume value can be a single blowing volume or the sum of multiple blowing volumes. Preferably, the data stored in the mobile setting module 55 is that the breathing volume is 300ml and the corresponding operation time is 3 seconds, the breathing volume is 500ml and the corresponding operation time is 5 seconds, the breathing volume is 900ml and the corresponding operation time is 9 seconds, and so on, but not limited thereto. The start switch 56 is set on the housing 31, and the start switch 56 provides the control module 51 to start the drive module 34.

For example, the user can use the breathing trainer to perform exhalation and blowing training more than three times. The control module 51 analyzes the user's breathing volume and retrieves the corresponding operation time from the movement setting module 55. After completing the breathing training, the breathing trainer can be placed on the ground. After the user presses the start switch 56, the control module 51 controls the drive module 34 to control the movement module 33 to rotate according to the operation time, so that the main unit 3 moves a distance on the ground.

It is worth mentioning that young children with respiratory diseases often need to alleviate their condition by deep breathing and exhalation exercises to train their lung capacity. However, this training process is not only boring and tedious for young children, but also easy to lose patience and perseverance. This new breathing trainer is based on humanistic care and integrates the interactive design concept of games and toys, which can increase children's interest and enthusiasm in lung capacity training.

4 , the display module 52 is a display screen, and a wireless connection display unit 521 , a respiratory volume display unit 522 and a power display unit 523 are disposed on the display module 52 .

The breathing volume display unit 522 is used to display the breathing volume of the user, so that the user can immediately understand the breathing volume of the training. The breathing volume of a single training session can be displayed. In actual implementation, the breathing volume display unit 522 can also display the sum of the breathing volumes of multiple training sessions, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The power display unit 523 is used to display the power storage capacity of the battery 57. For example, a battery graphic can be used to represent the total power storage capacity of the battery 57, and then a graphic of the percentage of power storage capacity relative to the number of battery grids can be used. Two grids represent 50% of the power remaining, and four grids represent 100% of the power stored. This can be used to remind the user to charge the battery 57 before the power is exhausted.

From the above description, it can be seen that the novel breathing training device has the following effects:

1. Clearly display the results of training: The control module 51 is connected to the computer device through the wireless transmission module 53.
