Description

Portable breathing exercise and breathing measuring device

The present invention relates to a portable breathing exercise and breathing measuring device, and more particularly, a portable breathing exercise and breathing measurement capable of obtaining data by measuring a user's breathing volume, and guiding breathing training based on the acquired data. It relates to the device.

Breathing training is to train appropriate breathing techniques for patients suffering from breathing disorders in order to relieve symptoms such as difficulty breathing, improve the quality of life, and expand physical and emotional participation in daily life. In particular, after lung surgery, patients with chronic obstructive respiratory disease need breathing training as part of treatment and recovery.

In addition, strengthening of respiratory muscles such as respiratory muscles and diaphragm, lung expansion and stable oxygen supply through inhalation and exhalation training, development of lung capacity and cardiopulmonary function through constant breathing training, active metabolism in the body through smooth oxygen supply, and cardiopulmonary function through strengthening. Continuous breathing training is required to participate in leisure/sports activities.

And, in general, measuring devices used for respiration volume testing are classified into two types. The first method is a method of quantitatively measuring the change according to the expansion and contraction of the lung, that is, the change in the lung volume. It is a method that directly measures the change in the lung volume while the subject breathes according to a predetermined pattern. The second method is to detect and measure the flow of air flowing in and out of the lungs while the subject is breathing, and then integrate it to measure the respiration volume.

That is, the main body portion 100 may be formed in such a manner that the two cross-sections provided in the form of a “c” are coupled by a coupling means such as a screw. In addition, the upper plate portion 140, the lower plate portion 150, and the handle 160 are formed to be detachably coupled to each other.

Next, the piston guide 130 is provided. The piston guide 130 is formed in a cylindrical shape having the same outer diameter and inner diameter as a whole, and is provided between the upper plate part 140 and the lower plate part 150. In addition, the piston guide 130 is formed such that the upper plate 140, the lower plate 150, and the handle 160 can be separated and coupled to each other. That is, the piston guide 130 is formed by combining two cross-sections of the piston guide 130 horizontally cut. Accordingly, a groove (not shown) in which the piston guide 130 is inserted and fixed may be provided at one side of the lower surface of the upper plate part 140 and at one side of the upper surface of the lower plate part 150, and assembling At the time, the piston guide 130 is coupled by the coupling means while being fixed by the groove.

Next, the piston 110 is provided. The piston 110 having a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the piston guide 130 is provided inside the piston guide 130. The piston 110 is raised and lowered by the user's intake or exhalation, so that it is possible to visually check whether the user's intake or exhalation is flowing into the piston guide 130. In addition, the user's breathing momentum can be checked, and the user's breathing momentum can be adjusted by adjusting the weight of the piston. In more detail, the piston guide 130 is formed to be separable from the main body 100 and is provided to replace the piston 110. For example, a spiral groove is formed in a portion where the piston guide 130 and the main body 100 are coupled, and the piston guide 130 may be coupled and separated by rotating. Therefore, during the breathing exercise, the user can control the amount of breathing exercise of the user by selectively replacing the piston 110 as needed. That is, it is provided to adjust the weight of the piston 110, so that the breathing movement can be performed step by step according to the lung capacity of the user. For example, when the user's lung capacity is small, the weight of the piston 110 is reduced so that the piston 110 can be raised and lowered even with a small breath, and when the user's lung capacity is large, the piston 110 By increasing the weight, the piston 110 may be set so as not to rise or fall for small breaths.

In addition, the piston 110 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the piston 110, the film 111 to block the user's intake or exhalation from flowing into the space between the piston 110 and the piston guide 130 Includes. That is, the film 111 serves to limit the flow of the user's inhalation or exhalation so that the user can more accurately measure the breath or perform a breathing exercise.

In addition, the piston 110 may be made of a material having high ductility or an elastic material capable of absorbing an external shock. Accordingly, even if the piston 110 rapidly rises or descends and collides with the piston guide 130, damage to the piston 110 can be minimized.

As an example, referring to (a) of FIG. 10, the connection part 214 is inserted close to the base of the mouthpiece detection module 320 to show a state in which the hole part 321 is not exposed to the outside. In this way, if the hole portion 321 is not exposed to the outside, the user's intake or exhaust does not flow out, so that the intensity of the breathing exercise can be said to be relatively low. In addition, referring to (b) of FIG. 10, the connection part 214 is inserted close to the end of the mouthpiece detection module 320, and the hole part 321 is exposed to the outside. As described above, when the hole 321 is exposed to the outside, a portion of the user's intake or exhaust is discharged to the outside, so that the intensity of the breathing exercise is relatively high.

That is, a part of the user's intake or exhaust is prevented from being transmitted to the sensor unit 300, so that the sensor unit 300 measures the reduced intake or exhaust. By exposing the hole part 321 to the outside in this way, the intensity of the breathing exercise can be adjusted. In addition, an opening/closing member (not shown) may be provided to selectively open and close the plurality of hole portions 321 as needed. That is, the opening and closing member is provided to individually open and close part of the plurality of hole portions 321. 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 among the plurality of hole portions 321, thereby the intensity of the breathing movement. Can be adjusted more finely.

Next, referring to FIG. 12, the mouthpiece module 200 further includes an adjustment hole 330 for adjusting an amount of the user's inhalation or exhalation flow to the sensor unit 300, and the adjustment The hole 330 is closed when the user's breathing is measured, so that the user's inhalation or exhalation can flow to the sensor unit 300, and is opened when the user's breathing movement is opened to the user's inhalation or exhalation. To the outside, so that the intensity of the breathing exercise can be adjusted. That is, by rotating the mouthpiece sensing module 320 in the longitudinal direction of the mouthpiece main body 212 as shown in FIG. 12(a), when the adjustment hole 330 is closed, the user's intake Alternatively, the exhaled air does not flow out and completely flows to the sensor unit 300 so that the amount of inhalation or exhalation of the user can be accurately measured. On the other hand, by rotating the mouthpiece detection module 320 in the longitudinal direction of the mouthpiece main body 212 as shown in FIG. 12(b), when the adjustment hole 330 is opened, the user's It is possible to increase the intensity of the user's breathing exercise by allowing a part of the inhalation or exhalation to flow out. As a result, by adjusting the degree to which the control hole 330 is opened, the intensity of the user's breathing exercise can be adjusted, thereby enabling more efficient breathing exercise.

In addition, a filter 2221 for preventing an increase in humidity inside the mouthpiece body 212 may be provided above the control hole 330. The portable breathing exercise and respiration measuring device of the present invention is formed to measure the user's exhalation, and thus, there is a problem in that the humidity inside the mouthpiece body 212 may increase due to the user's exhalation. Therefore, the filter 2221 is provided to remove moisture inside the mouthpiece main body 212 so that it can be used more hygienically.

Hereinafter, the operation of the portable breathing exercise and breathing measuring device 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. At this time, the mouthpiece module for breathing exercise 210 or the mouthpiece module 220 for breathing may be combined according to the purpose of the user.

Thereafter, when the user couples the mouthpiece module 210 for breathing exercise to the connection hole 170, after placing the inlet 211 in the mouth of the user, inhalation or exhalation is blown in the direction of the inlet port. Inject.

In this case, referring to FIG. 4, when measuring the intake air, the piston 110 and the flow rate gauge 120 rise due to the user's intake air. That is, the intake air of the user pushes up the piston 110 and the flow rate gauge 120. Thereafter, referring to FIG. 5, the user's exhalation is measured with the body part 100 turned over so that the connection hole 170 is positioned at the upper side. That is, the handle 160 is rotated 180 degrees with respect to the central longitudinal section of the main body 100 so as to maintain the same shape. Thereafter, the piston 110 is raised again by the user's exhalation, and the amount of the user's inhalation and exhalation is compared and measured by measuring this. That is, by measuring the user's exhalation using the piston 110 in an elevated state due to the user's inhalation, the amount of the user's inhalation and exhalation can be compared.

As a result, in a state in which the piston 110 raised and lowered by the user's intake is stopped, the main body 100 is rotated, and then the user's exhaled air is measured, and the position of the piston 100 Divide the user's inhalation and exhalation so that they can exercise or measure. That is, it is possible to compare the amount of inhalation and exhalation of the user, and when measuring respiration, by measuring the inhalation and exhalation of the user by dividing the inhalation and exhalation of the user, a more accurate measurement of the inhalation and exhalation of the user is possible. By dividing the user's inhalation and exhalation to exercise, there is an advantage of being able to intensively exercise by selecting a portion of the user's inhalation and exhalation that has a relatively small amount of respiration.

Hereinafter, an operation example of the control unit 400 and the display unit 500 of the portable breathing exercise and breathing 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 in the control unit 400 through the screen of the display unit 500. In this case, the user information may be divided into a plurality of pieces and stored. After registering the user information, the user executes the game, diagnosis, and recording tabs to perform breathing exercises and breathing measurements.

Referring to FIG. 15, when the user executes a game tab, a game to be executed is selected from among a plurality of games. For example, the game progresses by selecting individual battles, PC battles, and PVP (personal battles). In the game, the character in the display unit 500 rises and descends in accordance with the user's inhalation and exhalation, avoiding obstacles, and acquiring fruits. Thereafter, when the game is over, the breathing result is output as an example, as a pressure graph result (pressure/time) and a score result (fruit score, remaining energy), etc., so that the user can see the result.

Next, referring to FIG. 16, when the user executes the diagnosis tab, information such as the highest record and average record can be checked, and as an example, the last five breathing exercises and measured values can be output. In addition, by calculating a graph corresponding to time on the horizontal axis and pressure on the vertical axis, the average value can be calculated, so that the recent breathing exercise and measured values can be seen at a glance. In addition, the calculated graph is automatically saved as a file so that it can be transmitted/received. Finally, the calculated graph is analyzed to output the user's strengths and weaknesses, and a method for reproducing the shape of the graph that performed optimal breathing is proposed.

Next, referring to FIGS. 17 and 18, when the user executes the recording tab, the breathing exercise and measured values stored so far can be viewed by time. For example, 2019.09.09. If 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, and total exercise time. At this time, breathing exercises and measurements should be recorded automatically if you exercise for more than 3 seconds.

As a result, by operating the control unit 400 and the display unit 500, the user can continuously perform breathing exercises and measurements without being bored, and in the case of children, breathing exercises and measurements can be made with interest. There is an advantage to be able to.
