Definitions

  • This invention relates to a mask and control method particularly to a mask for providing filtered air to the wearer of the mask, with the flow assisted by fans.
  • the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 4 million people die from air pollution every year. Part of this problem is the outdoor air quality in cities.
  • the worst in class are Indian cities like Delhi that have an annual pollution level more than 10 times the recommended level.
  • Also well-known is Beijing, with an annual average 8.5 times the recommended safe levels.
  • the levels are higher than recommended by the WHO.
  • Particle pollution comes both from natural sources (such as volcanoes, dust storms, forest and grassland fires, living vegetation and sea spray) and from human activities (such as burning of fuels, transportation, power plants and various industrial processes).
  • natural sources such as volcanoes, dust storms, forest and grassland fires, living vegetation and sea spray
  • human activities such as burning of fuels, transportation, power plants and various industrial processes.
  • secondary sources which are fine particles generated through complicated atmospheric chemistry reactions of gas pollutants.
  • Secondary sources include inorganic fine particles (e.g. sulfates, nitrates and ammonium salts generated by SO 2 , NO 2 , NH 3 ) and organic fine particles (generated by oxidation of volatile organic gases).
  • the benefit to the wearer of using a powered mask is that the lungs are relieved of the slight strain caused by inhalation against the resistance of the filters in a conventional non-powered mask.
  • a powered mask delivers a steady stream of air to the face and may for example provide a slight positive pressure, which may be determined by the resistance of an exhale valve, to ensure that any leakage is outward rather than inward.
  • GB 2 032 284 discloses a respirator in which the pressure inside a mask is measured by a pressure sensor and the fan speed is varied in dependence on the sensor measurements.
  • WO 2016/157159 discloses a respiratory mask having different inlet and outlet paths for the user's breath. It also discloses that a fan can be used in either or both of the inlet and outlet paths.
  • CN 104 548 406 discloses a respiratory mask comprising a vent hole and a fan for drawing air in through the vent hole.
  • JP 2008 295993 discloses a respiratory mask for filtering the air breathed by a user, comprising a photocatalyst and a fan.
  • a mask comprising:
  • the mask of the present invention ensures that inhalation is assisted by the inhalation fan and exhalation is assisted by the exhalation fan, whilst keeping the other fan (the exhalation fan in the case of inhalation and the inhalation fan in the case of exhalation) at a suitable rotation speed such that fan speed adjustments can be made more quickly when there are transitions between inhalation and exhalation.
  • the inhalation and exhalation fans thus work together and the rotation speeds of the inhalation and exhalation fans are carefully controlled to minimize the counteraction between the fans and to facilitate the synchronization of the air flow in the mask with the breathing of the user, making breathing in the mask more comfortable.
  • the reference to "at the start of inhalation” and “at the start of exhalation” relates to the point in time at which the sensor detects that inhalation or exhalation has started. This may not correspond exactly to the breathing cycle of the user as there will be some sensing time lag. However, this will be negligible compared to the overall duration of the inhalation and exhalation cycles of the user.
  • the senor comprises a differential pressure sensor for determining a difference in pressure between air outside the air chamber and air inside the air chamber.
  • Differential pressure sensors are readily available and easy to use.
  • the rotation speed is preferably increased by pulse width modulation having a duty cycle.
  • Pulse width modulation is a common technique that allows simple control of the rotation speed.
  • the inhalation and exhalation fans are driven by an electronically commutated brushless motor.
  • Electronically commutated brushless motors are preferred for efficiency and longevity reasons.
  • the inhalation fan has a first rotation speed and a second rotation speed
  • the exhalation fan has a first rotation speed and a second rotation speed
  • the second rotation speed is higher than the first rotation speed.
  • the first rotation speed of both fans is usually 10-500, preferably 50-100 rpm.
  • the second rotation speed is usually 5-50, preferably 10-30 times higher than the first rotation speed. This provides a significant increase to assist the breathing of the user.
  • the second rotation speed may be tailored to the breathing of the user (e.g. breath frequency and tidal volume) and may be adjusted to take into account different breathing scenarios (e.g. walking and running).
  • the first rotation speed of the inhalation fan is preferably the same as the first rotation speed of the exhalation fan. This provides a consistent user experience, in terms of feel and sound.
  • the second rotation speed of the inhalation fan may be the same as or different to the second rotation speed of the exhalation fan, depending on the design of the inlet and outlet flow paths of the mask and the differential pressure inside the mask created by the inhalation fan and the exhalation fan. For example, if air is drawn into the mask through the filter and drawn out of the mask through a valve, the inhalation fan would need to generate a higher pressure than the exhalation fan. This could be achieved using a higher second rotation speed for the inhalation fan than for the exhalation fan.
  • the mask further comprises a switch for starting and stopping the inhalation and exhalation fans. This would allow the user to have full control over when to start and stop the inhalation and exhalation fans. For example, the user could ensure that the inhalation and exhalation fans are switched off at all times when the mask is not in use.
  • the filter comprises a filter member in series with the inhalation fan.
  • the outer wall of the air chamber may define the filter or else a filter may be provided only at the location of the inhalation fan. In this way, the air entering the mask is filtered.
  • a method of controlling a mask comprising:
  • the invention provides a breathing assistance mask.
  • a mask is provided that incorporates an air chamber, a filter, an inhalation fan, an exhalation fan, a sensor and a controller.
  • the inhalation fan draws air through the filter and into the mask.
  • the exhalation fan exhausts the exhaled air.
  • the controller continuously runs the inhalation and exhalation fans when the mask is being worn.
  • the controller provides a first and second rotation speed for the fans, with the first rotation speed being non-zero and lower than the second rotation speed.
  • the exhalation fan runs at the first inhalation speed and the inhalation fan runs at the second inhalation speed.
  • the inhalation fan runs at the first inhalation speed and the exhalation fan runs at the second inhalation speed.
  • the control of the inhalation and exhalation fans ensures that the air flow in the mask is synchronized with the breathing of the user, ultimately making breathing more comfortable in the mask.
  • the inhalation fan and exhalation fan work together to generate a flow of air through the mask.
  • they counteract each other, disrupting the flow of air through the mask.
  • investigations performed by the applicant have found latency problems when switching between inhalation and exhalation fans during use. This has been found to be a factor in poor synchronization with the breathing of the user, making breathing uncomfortable.
  • an inhalation fan and an exhalation fan are continuously run so that their rotation speeds never fall back to zero. This reduces the start-up latency of the fans and minimizes the time it takes for the air flow in the mask to synchronize with the breathing of the user.
  • Continuously running the inhalation and exhalation fans at least a minimum level ensures that there is minimal delay when switching the operation of the inhalation fan to the exhalation fan during the transition between inhalation and exhalation, and when switching the operation of the exhalation fan to the inhalation fan during the transition between exhalation and inhalation.
  • the impulse required to change the fan speed during use is thus reduced so that the desired fan speed changes can be made more quickly.
  • the air flow in the mask may be synchronized more easily with the breathing of the user, ultimately making breathing in the mask more comfortable.
  • a controller By determining via a sensor whether the user is inhaling or exhaling, a controller is able to adjust the rotation speed of the inhalation fan and the rotation speed of the exhalation fan.
  • the controller is adapted to increase the rotation speed of the inhalation fan relative to the rotation speed of the exhalation fan when the user starts an inhalation cycle, and increase the rotation speed of the exhalation fan relative to the rotation speed of the inhalation fan when the user starts an exhalation cycle. This reduces the interference between the inhalation and exhalation fans so that again the air flow in the mask is synchronized with the breathing of the user, ultimately making breathing in the mask more comfortable.
  • Fig. 1 shows a mask of the invention containing an inhalation fan and an exhalation fan.
  • a user 10 is shown wearing a face mask 11 which covers at least the nose and mouth of the user.
  • the purpose of the mask is to filter air before it is breathed in by the user.
  • the mask body itself acts as an air filter 12. Air is drawn into an air chamber 13 formed by the mask by inhalation.
  • An inhalation fan 14 assists in the drawing of air through the filter 12 from outside the air chamber 13 into the air chamber 13.
  • the inhalation fan 14 is positioned before or after the filter 12.
  • exhalation fan 15 assists in the drawing of air from inside the air chamber 13 to the outside.
  • the exhaust air does not need to pass through the filter, but it could be drawn through the filter by the exhalation fan as well.
  • the inhalation fan 14 and the exhalation fan 15 are run continuously. This avoids start-up latency. Running the inhalation and exhalation fans continuously means that the impulse required to change the fan speed settings during use is reduced so that the air flow in the mask synchronizes with the breathing of the user, ultimately making breathing in the mask more comfortable.
  • Fig. 2 shows one example of the components of the mask. The same components as in Fig. 1 are given the same reference numbers.
  • Fig. 2 shows a controller 20, a local battery 21 and a sensor 22 for detecting the inhalation or the exhalation of the user.
  • the inhalation fan 14 comprises a fan blade 14a and a fan motor 14b.
  • the exhalation fan 15 comprises a fan blade 15a and a fan motor 15b.
  • the fan motors 14b and 15b are electronically commutated brushless motors.
  • Electronically commutated brushless DC fans have internal sensors that measure the position of the rotor and switch the current through the coils in such a way that the rotor rotates.
  • the sensor 22 for detecting an inhalation and an exhalation of the user may be a differential pressure sensor for determining a difference in pressure between air outside the air chamber and air inside the air chamber.
  • a differential pressure sensor for determining a difference in pressure between air outside the air chamber and air inside the air chamber.
  • the pressure monitoring enables determination of a pressure, or at least a pressure change, on the other side of the inhalation and exhalation fans.
  • This other side is for example a closed chamber which thus has a pressure different to atmospheric pressure. In this way, inhalation and exhalation may be detected.
  • the pressure difference information is transmitted to the controller 20.
  • the controller 20 determines whether the user is inhaling or exhaling. For example, a decrease in pressure in the air inside the air chamber relative to the air outside the air chamber would correspond to an inhalation and an increase in pressure in the air inside the air chamber relative to the air outside the air chamber would correspond to an exhalation.
  • a suitable differential pressure sensor is one from the Sensirion (Trade Mark) SPD60x series.
  • the sensor comprises a differential pressure sensor having a measurement range of -500 to 500 Pa. This covers the breathing pressure range.
  • Other sensors can also be used to determine whether a user is inhaling or exhaling. For example, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, oxygen or a combination of any of the above sensors may be used.
  • the controller 20 sends a signal to the inhalation fan motor 14b to increase the rotation speed of the inhalation fan blade 14a and sends a signal to the exhalation fan motor 15b to decrease the rotation speed of the exhalation fan blade 15a. In this way, the rotation speed of the inhalation fan increases relative to the rotation speed of the exhalation fan. Conversely, if a transition from inhalation to exhalation is determined, the controller 20 sends a signal to the exhalation fan motor 15b to increase the rotation speed of the exhalation fan blade 15a and sends a single to the inhalation fan motor 14b to decrease the rotation speed of the inhalation fan blade 14a. In this way, the rotation speed of the exhalation fan increases relative to the rotation speed of the inhalation fan.
  • the rotation speeds of the inhalation and exhalation fans alternate between two set values, with the changes in rotation speed implemented at the detection transitions between inhalation and exhalation.
  • Fig. 3 shows the relative rotation speeds of the inhalation and exhalation fans in use.
  • the inhalation fan 14 has a first rotation speed ("1") and a second rotation speed ("2").
  • the exhalation fan 15 has a first rotation speed ("1") and a second rotation speed (“2"). In both cases, the second rotation speed is higher than the first rotation speed.
  • the inhalation and exhalation fans 14, 15 alternate between level 1 and level 2.
  • Level 1 represents the first rotation speed and level 2 represents the second rotation speed.
  • the first rotation speed is a minimum, non-zero rotation speed. In use, the fans will not operate below the first rotation speed, i.e. they are running continuously.
  • the second rotation speed is higher than the first rotation speed, for both the inhalation 14 and exhalation 15 fans.
  • Fig. 3 starts on an exhalation.
  • exhalation fan 15 is at level 2 and inhalation fan 14 is at level 1.
  • the rotation speed of the exhalation fan 15 is higher than the rotation speed of the inhalation fan 14.
  • the speed of inhalation fan 14 increases to level 2 and the speed of exhalation fan 15 decreases to level 1.
  • the rotation speed of the inhalation fan 14 increases relative to the rotation speed of the exhalation fan 15.
  • the rotation speed of the exhalation fan 15 increases relative to the rotation speed of the inhalation fan 14. In this way, the air flow in the mask is synchronized with the breathing of the user, ultimately making breathing in the mask more comfortable.
  • the rotation speed of the inhalation and exhalation fan is varied by varying the supplied voltage.
  • more air is removed than exhaled so that additional air is supplied to the face. This increases comfort owing to a lowering of the relative humidity and cooling.
  • the first rotation speed of the inhalation fan 14 is the same as the first rotation speed of the exhalation fan 15.
  • the first rotation speed of the inhalation fan 14 and the first rotation speed of the exhalation fan 15 may be 10-500 rpm, more preferably 50-100 rpm.
  • the second rotation speed of the inhalation fan 14 and the second rotation speed of the exhalation fan 15 may be 5-50 times higher than the first rotation speeds, more preferably 10-30 times.
  • the second rotation speed may be tailored to the breathing of the user (e.g. breath frequency and tidal volume) and may be adjusted to take into account different breathing scenarios (e.g. walking and running).
  • the increase in the rotation speed of the inhalation fan 14 relative to a rotation speed of the exhalation fan 15 is preferably provided by the controller causing the inhalation fan 14 to run at its second rotation speed and the exhalation fan 15 to run at its first rotation speed.
  • the increase in the rotation speed of the exhalation fan 15 relative to a rotation speed of the inhalation fan 14 is preferably provided by the controller causing the inhalation fan 14 to run at its first rotation speed and the exhalation fan 15 to run at its second rotation speed.
  • the rotation speeds to be used may be determined during a calibration process or they may be provided by the fan manufacturer.
  • the calibration process for example involves analyzing the fan speed information over a period during which the user is instructed to inhale and exhale regularly with normal breathing. The captured fan speed information can then be used to determine the first, second and any intermediate rotation speeds.
  • the controller may also provide for settings for the user to regulate the rotation speeds of the first, second and any intermediate rotation speeds.
  • the first rotation speed normally sets the minimum rotation speed.
  • the minimum speed ideally provides an optimum balance between lag time and power efficiency.
  • the second rotation speed is typically dependent on the breathing of the user (e.g. breath frequency and tidal volume) and could be adjusted to take into account different breathing scenarios (e.g. walking and running).
  • the second rotation speed sets the maximum rotation speed. In this way, the second rotation speed ideally provides an optimum balance between lag time and power efficiency on the one hand, and the assistance given to the user on the other.
  • the rotation speeds of the inhalation and exhalation fans are controlled by a pulse width modulation signal, whereby the duty cycle controls the rotation speed.
  • Figs. 4a and 4b show examples of the pulse width modulations that can be used to increase the rotation speed of the inhalation and exhalation fans.
  • the pulse width modulation shown in Fig. 4a corresponds to level 1 in Fig. 3 (first rotation speeds) and the pulse width modulation shown in Fig. 4b corresponds to level 2 in Fig. 3 (second rotation speeds).
  • the first rotation speed has a lower duty cycle than the second rotation speed.
  • the mask When the mask is not in use, it may be switched off.
  • the mask comprises a switch for starting and stopping the inhalation fans. When the mask is switched on, both fans may start operating at a first rotation speed. Alternatively, the fans may start when the mask is worn by the user.
  • the sensor in the mask may be used to determine when the mask is being worn and start the fans. The mask may then go straight into its operating mode with the fan speeds being determined by the point in the user's inhalation/exhalation cycle.
  • Fig. 5 shows a mask operating method. The method comprises:
  • the mask may be for covering only the nose and mouth (as shown in Fig. 1 ) or it may be a full face mask.
  • the example shown is a mask for filtering ambient air.
  • the mask may be used with a breathing gas from an external supply, for example a breathing assistance device, such as a continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) system.
  • CPAP continuous positive air pressure
