Description

吸入器輔助裝置 inhaler assist device

本發明係關於輔助吸入器之技術,尤指一種能自動啟動監控之吸入器輔助裝置。 The present invention relates to the technology of auxiliary inhaler, especially an auxiliary device for inhaler which can be automatically activated and monitored.

吸入器,以氣喘用之吸入器為例,提供給病人使用前,通常須要經過衛教之程序,令病人在正確的姿勢下透過吸入器吸入藥粉或藥劑,方可使吸入之藥粉或藥劑掉著於正確的位置,例如肺部,以發揮藥效。惟,病人可能因使用姿勢不正確、臥病在床或其他疾病而未以標準姿勢使用吸入器,致吸取藥劑時因吸力不足而無法使藥粉或藥劑進入適當處,將無法有效控制病情。 An inhaler, taking the inhaler for asthma as an example, usually needs to go through the procedures of health education before being provided to the patient, so that the patient can inhale the powder or medicine through the inhaler in the correct posture, so that the inhaled powder or medicine can be dropped. in the correct location, such as the lungs, for the drug to work. However, the patient may not use the inhaler in the standard posture due to incorrect posture, bedridden or other diseases, resulting in insufficient suction to allow the powder or medicine to enter the proper place when inhaling the medicine, and the disease will not be effectively controlled.

為解決上述目的,目前市面上已有用以輔助病人使用吸入器之輔助器,係於病人吸取藥劑時,利用氣壓感測器量測病人吸氣服藥時之氣壓變化,據以提供醫護人員或病人判斷當時之吸氣力道是否足夠,亦可紀錄病人使用吸入器時之相關資訊。一般而言,吸入器之輔助設備通常需要電力以供氣壓感測器運作之用,而習知輔助設備往往透過開關進行裝置之啟閉,或是藉由加速度計作為啟動機制(判斷晃動情況),以於上述情況下判定使用者將使用吸入器而啟動輔助設備,藉以避免輔助設備之電力損耗。惟病人於使用吸入器時,往往可能因為忘記關閉開關而造成電力之消耗,又或是由於加速度計之誤判而 有誤啟動輔助設備之可能,如此,不僅使用上不便利(要開啟或關閉開關),也有電力不當浪費之情事。 In order to solve the above-mentioned purpose, there are currently existing aids on the market for assisting patients to use inhalers. When the patient inhales medicine, the air pressure sensor is used to measure the change of air pressure when the patient inhales and takes the medicine, so as to provide medical staff or patients. To determine whether the inspiratory force is sufficient at the time, and to record the relevant information of the patient using the inhaler. Generally speaking, the auxiliary equipment of the inhaler usually requires electricity for the operation of the air pressure sensor, and the conventional auxiliary equipment usually uses the switch to open and close the device, or use the accelerometer as the activation mechanism (judging the shaking situation). , so as to determine that the user will use the inhaler to activate the auxiliary equipment in the above situation, so as to avoid the power loss of the auxiliary equipment. However, when the patient uses the inhaler, the power consumption may be caused by forgetting to turn off the switch, or due to the misjudgment of the accelerometer. It is possible to activate auxiliary equipment by mistake, so it is not only inconvenient to use (the switch needs to be turned on or off), but also wastes electricity improperly.

另外,現有吸入器氣壓量測方式中,常於吸入器前後加裝氣壓量測管道,通過量測管道內部氣壓以獲取吸入器之氣壓數值,或者是改裝吸入器,例如直接在吸入器內部附著氣壓傳感器,然上述兩種方式均會對吸入器本身結構產生影響,導致吸入器氣流之流動方式與原先不同,可能使藥物沾附在感測結構或無法如原先設計的方式吸入肺部;另外,其他量測吸入氣壓方式還包括聲音監測,係利用藥物在吸取時膠囊與吸入器內部碰撞的聲音,與氣體流動時所產生的聲音經過數據分析與統計後,推測不同聲音時的氣體流動速度,惟此方式精確度較低且也需要於安靜的環境下使用。因此,現有吸入器氣壓量測之方案都有待改善處。 In addition, in the existing inhaler air pressure measurement methods, air pressure measurement pipes are often installed before and after the inhaler, and the air pressure value of the inhaler is obtained by measuring the air pressure inside the pipe, or the inhaler is modified, for example, directly attached to the inside of the inhaler Air pressure sensor, but the above two methods will affect the structure of the inhaler itself, resulting in a different flow of air flow in the inhaler, which may cause the drug to adhere to the sensing structure or be unable to be inhaled into the lungs as originally designed; , Other methods of measuring inhalation pressure also include sound monitoring, which uses the sound of the collision between the capsule and the inhaler when the drug is inhaled, and the sound generated when the gas flows through data analysis and statistics. , but this method is less accurate and also needs to be used in a quiet environment. Therefore, the existing solutions for measuring the air pressure of the inhaler need to be improved.

由上可知,現有之吸入器輔助設備存在使用上不方便以及電力供應等問題,常因使用前忘記開啟而造成數據偵測與紀錄失敗之問題,或是於用畢時忘記關閉電源而電力損耗之情況,另外,對於吸入器氣壓量測上,如何在不影響既有吸入器結構和功能下,找出合適的量測方式或設計,亦為考量重點,因此,如何克服上述現有技術之種種缺失,將成目前亟欲解決的課題。 From the above, it can be seen that the existing inhaler auxiliary equipment has problems such as inconvenience in use and power supply. It often results in failure of data detection and recording due to forgetting to turn it on before use, or forgetting to turn off the power after use, resulting in power loss. In addition, for the air pressure measurement of the inhaler, how to find a suitable measurement method or design without affecting the structure and function of the existing inhaler is also the key point of consideration. Therefore, how to overcome the above-mentioned various existing technologies The lack of it will become an urgent problem to be solved at present.

Schematic of the device when combined with the inhaler. Please refer to the above figures together. As shown in the figures, the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention includes a kit body 1, which is disposed in the kit body 1 and is electrically connected to each other. The switch component 2 and the electronic component 3 are connected, wherein the switch component 2 has an open circuit 21 and a conductive film 22 arranged at intervals.

一般而言,如圖3所示,吸入器9係包括用以容置藥劑之儲藥倉91以及用以供使用者自該儲藥倉91中吸取藥劑之吸嘴92,使用者可將套件主體1與吸入器9之吸嘴92作結合,例如將套件主體1套入吸嘴92外緣,以於使用者自吸入器9之吸嘴92進行吸氣動作時,基於外部之氣體進入套件主體1內,以帶動該導電薄膜22與開路電路21接觸,進而使該開路電路21形成導通電路,並據之啟動該電子組件3運行。關於本發明之吸入器輔助裝置之說明,詳述如下。 Generally speaking, as shown in FIG. 3 , the inhaler 9 includes a medicine storage bin 91 for accommodating medicines and a suction nozzle 92 for the user to suck medicines from the medicine storage bin 91. The user can put the set The main body 1 is combined with the suction nozzle 92 of the inhaler 9. For example, the main body 1 of the kit is put into the outer edge of the suction nozzle 92, so that when the user inhales from the suction nozzle 92 of the inhaler 9, the air from the outside enters the kit. inside the main body 1 to drive the conductive film 22 to contact with the open circuit 21 , so that the open circuit 21 forms a conducting circuit, and the electronic component 3 is activated accordingly. A description of the inhaler assist device of the present invention is detailed below.

套件主體1包括用以結合吸入器9之套管11以及與該套管11連通且具有入氣孔121之氣艙12。詳言之,該套管11具有頂端及底端,其能與吸入器9之吸嘴92結合,於本實施例中,係將套管11套入於吸入器9之吸嘴92外部而使兩者以並聯方式結合,另外,該氣艙12設於套管11之底端並與套管11連通,並且具有貫穿其側壁之入氣孔121,以令使用者對該吸入器9進行吸氣時,讓外部之氣體自入氣孔121進入氣艙12,再經由氣艙12流動至套管11。 The kit body 1 includes a sleeve 11 for connecting the inhaler 9 and an air chamber 12 communicating with the sleeve 11 and having an air inlet 121 . Specifically, the sleeve 11 has a top end and a bottom end, which can be combined with the suction nozzle 92 of the inhaler 9. In this embodiment, the sleeve 11 is sleeved outside the suction nozzle 92 of the inhaler 9 to make The two are combined in parallel. In addition, the air chamber 12 is provided at the bottom end of the sleeve 11 and communicated with the sleeve 11, and has an air inlet hole 121 through its side wall, so that the user can inhale the inhaler 9 At this time, the external gas is allowed to enter the air chamber 12 from the air inlet 121 , and then flows to the casing 11 through the air chamber 12 .

該套件主體1復包括設置於套管11底部之蓋板14,並且於該套管11底端與該蓋板14之間形成與該套管11連通之量測室13。具體而言,該蓋板14具有對應吸入器9之吸嘴92的開口141,以於該吸入器9之吸嘴92穿過該蓋板14之開口141而與該套件主體1結合時,令該吸嘴92與該開口141之間產生氣密效果,此時,該量測室13僅與該套管11連通,亦即,該氣艙12與該量測室13之間為不連通,如此可避免該氣艙12與該量測室13之間發生相互干擾之情況,也就是說,藉由讓進入該氣艙12之外部之氣體無法進入到該量測室13,以避免該量測室13內之氣壓受到影響。於使用該吸入器9時,當使用者對該吸嘴92進行吸氣 時,基於氣密效果,該量測室13到該吸嘴92之間,甚至到使用者之嘴部,都處在同一氣壓下,故量測該量測室13之壓力即可得到該使用者之嘴部的氣壓壓力。 The kit body 1 further includes a cover plate 14 disposed at the bottom of the sleeve 11 , and a measurement chamber 13 communicating with the sleeve 11 is formed between the bottom end of the sleeve 11 and the cover plate 14 . Specifically, the cover plate 14 has an opening 141 corresponding to the suction nozzle 92 of the inhaler 9, so that when the suction nozzle 92 of the inhaler 9 passes through the opening 141 of the cover plate 14 and is combined with the main body 1 of the kit, There is an airtight effect between the suction nozzle 92 and the opening 141. At this time, the measurement chamber 13 is only communicated with the sleeve 11, that is, the air chamber 12 is not communicated with the measurement chamber 13. In this way, the situation of mutual interference between the gas chamber 12 and the measuring chamber 13 can be avoided, that is, by preventing the gas entering the outside of the gas chamber 12 from entering the measuring chamber 13, the amount of The air pressure in the measuring chamber 13 is affected. When using the inhaler 9, when the user inhales the mouthpiece 92 At this time, based on the airtight effect, the measurement chamber 13 to the suction nozzle 92, and even to the user's mouth, are all under the same air pressure, so the pressure of the measurement chamber 13 can be measured to obtain the use. The air pressure in the person's mouth.

另外,該套管11之底端朝向吸入器9之儲藥倉91,該套管11之內側壁上具有從其頂端至底端延伸之第一導槽111以及第二導槽112,進一步地,於該套管11套於該吸入器9之吸嘴92外部時,該第一導槽111以及該第二導槽112分別與該吸入器9之吸嘴92之間形成第一流道113以及第二流道(圖未繪示),如此,該第一流道113能連通該氣艙12與該套管11之頂端,而該第二流道能連通該量測室13與該套管11之頂端,易言之,因為該氣艙12與該量測室13不連通,故使用者吸氣時,外部之氣體進入該氣艙12後,經由第一流道113而進入使用者之嘴部,且在使用者對該吸入器9進行吸氣時,第二流道僅連通使用者之嘴部與量測室13,此時兩個流道之間不互相影響,故能達到外部之氣體不影響該量測室13之氣壓量測,且令該量測室13、該吸嘴92以及使用者之嘴部之範圍都為同一氣壓之情況。 In addition, the bottom end of the sleeve 11 faces the medicine storage compartment 91 of the inhaler 9, and the inner side wall of the sleeve 11 has a first guide groove 111 and a second guide groove 112 extending from the top end to the bottom end, and furthermore , when the sleeve 11 is sleeved on the outside of the suction nozzle 92 of the inhaler 9, the first channel 111 and the second guide groove 112 respectively form a first flow channel 113 and The second flow channel (not shown), in this way, the first flow channel 113 can communicate with the air chamber 12 and the top of the sleeve 11 , and the second flow channel can communicate with the measuring chamber 13 and the sleeve 11 In other words, because the air chamber 12 is not communicated with the measuring chamber 13 , when the user inhales, the external air enters the air chamber 12 and then enters the user's mouth through the first flow channel 113 , and when the user inhales the inhaler 9, the second flow channel only connects the user's mouth and the measuring chamber 13. At this time, the two flow channels do not affect each other, so the external gas can be reached. The air pressure measurement of the measuring chamber 13 is not affected, and the ranges of the measuring chamber 13 , the suction nozzle 92 and the user's mouth are all the same air pressure.

該開關組件2係設置於氣艙12中,且開關組件2進一步包括間隔設置之開路電路21以及導電薄膜22,具體地,該導電薄膜22設於該開路電路21與該氣艙12之入氣孔121之間,其目的是為了在外部之氣體通過該氣艙12時,讓該氣體之氣流帶動該導電薄膜22抵靠該開路電路21,進而使該開路電路21形成導通電路,提供啟動該電子組件3之電壓,以令該電子組件3能執行運作。 The switch assembly 2 is disposed in the air chamber 12 , and the switch assembly 2 further includes an open circuit 21 and a conductive film 22 arranged at intervals. Specifically, the conductive film 22 is disposed in the open circuit 21 and the air inlet of the air chamber 12 . 121, the purpose is to let the air flow of the gas drive the conductive film 22 against the open circuit 21 when the external gas passes through the air chamber 12, so as to make the open circuit 21 form a conductive circuit, and provide start-up of the electronic The voltage of the component 3, so that the electronic component 3 can perform operation.

圖4A和圖4B分別為本發明之吸入器輔助裝置第一實施例於未使用時和使用時之狀態示意圖。如圖4A所示,該氣艙12連通該套管11之連通處15與該入氣孔121,係分別位於該氣艙12的兩不同位置處,且該開關組件2之開路 電路21設於該連通處15以及該入氣孔121之間,而該導電薄膜22設於該開路電路21靠近該入氣孔121之一側,亦即在該開路電路21與該入氣孔121之間,故於未使用之狀態下,該導電薄膜22未接觸該開路電路21。 4A and 4B are schematic diagrams of the states of the first embodiment of the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention when it is not in use and when it is in use, respectively. As shown in FIG. 4A , the air chamber 12 communicates with the communication point 15 of the casing 11 and the air inlet 121 , which are located at two different positions of the air chamber 12 , and the switch assembly 2 is open. The circuit 21 is arranged between the connection 15 and the air inlet hole 121 , and the conductive film 22 is arranged on the side of the open circuit 21 close to the air inlet hole 121 , that is, between the open circuit 21 and the air inlet hole 121 , so the conductive film 22 is not in contact with the open circuit 21 in an unused state.

另外,如圖4B所示,當使用者對吸入器進行吸氣時,外部之氣體會由該入氣孔121進入該氣艙12,經該連通處15及該套管11後,最後進入使用者之嘴部,此時外部之氣體進入該氣艙12時,隨著氣體之流動軌跡,會導致該導電薄膜22受氣流影響產生偏擺,並與該開路電路21碰觸,進而使該開路電路21內形成電路導通,此時該開路電路21可作動電子組件3,讓電子組件3執行運作而達到自動啟動之目的。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 4B , when the user inhales the inhaler, the external air will enter the air chamber 12 through the air inlet hole 121 , and finally enter the user through the communication part 15 and the sleeve 11 . At this time, when the external gas enters the gas chamber 12, along with the flow trajectory of the gas, the conductive film 22 will be deflected due to the influence of the airflow, and will touch the open circuit 21, thereby causing the open circuit A circuit is formed in 21, and at this time, the open circuit 21 can actuate the electronic component 3, so that the electronic component 3 can be operated to achieve the purpose of automatic starting.

圖5為本發明之吸入器輔助裝置之氣艙局部剖面圖。如圖所示,該導電薄膜22可為具有可撓性之軟性電路或金屬薄片,而該開路電路21係包括具有相互分離之兩導線211的電路板,其中,該開路電路21與電子組件3連接,以於兩個導線211內形成電路導通時,可致動電子組件3。據此,於未使用之狀態下,該導電薄膜22與該開路電路21係相互分離,使用時,氣體自該入氣孔121進入該氣艙12以及該氣艙12內之氣體流入該套管11時,進而產生氣流,此氣流將帶動該導電薄膜22產生彎曲,使該導電薄膜22向該開路電路21抵靠,並同時接觸兩個導線211而形成導電通路,亦即,兩個導線211透過該導電薄膜22而相互電性連接以形成短路,進而導通該開路電路21。 5 is a partial cross-sectional view of the air chamber of the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the conductive film 22 can be a flexible circuit or a metal sheet, and the open circuit 21 includes a circuit board with two wires 211 separated from each other, wherein the open circuit 21 and the electronic components 3 connected, so that the electronic component 3 can be actuated when a circuit is formed in the two wires 211 . Accordingly, when not in use, the conductive film 22 and the open circuit 21 are separated from each other. When in use, the gas enters the gas chamber 12 from the gas inlet hole 121 and the gas in the gas chamber 12 flows into the sleeve 11 Then, an air flow is generated, which will drive the conductive film 22 to bend, so that the conductive film 22 abuts against the open circuit 21, and simultaneously contacts the two wires 211 to form a conductive path, that is, the two wires 211 pass through The conductive films 22 are electrically connected to each other to form a short circuit, thereby conducting the open circuit 21 .

另外,又如圖4A及4B所示,電子組件3係設置於套件主體1內且與該開路電路21電性連接,進言之,該電子組件3可設置於該套件主體1之量測室13中,可包括微控制器31、感測器32以及電池33,其中,該微控制器31以及該感測器32與該電池33之間電性連接,以由該電池33提供該微控制器31與該感 測器32之運作電力。具體而言,該感測器32係包含可用以量測氣壓的氣壓計321或是用以偵測套件主體1傾斜或運動之加速度計322,另外,於其他實施例中,該電子組件3亦可包括多個感測器32,例如同時具有氣壓計321以及加速度計322,以同時感測空間之氣壓及套件主體1之傾斜或運動。 In addition, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B , the electronic component 3 is arranged in the kit body 1 and is electrically connected to the open circuit 21 . In other words, the electronic component 3 can be arranged in the measurement chamber 13 of the kit body 1 . can include a microcontroller 31 , a sensor 32 and a battery 33 , wherein the microcontroller 31 , the sensor 32 and the battery 33 are electrically connected so that the battery 33 provides the microcontroller 31 with the sense The operating power of the detector 32. Specifically, the sensor 32 includes a barometer 321 for measuring air pressure or an accelerometer 322 for detecting the tilt or movement of the kit body 1 . In addition, in other embodiments, the electronic component 3 also A plurality of sensors 32 may be included, such as a barometer 321 and an accelerometer 322 at the same time, so as to simultaneously sense the air pressure of the space and the inclination or movement of the kit body 1 .

如圖4A及4B所示,使用者將本發明之吸入器輔助裝置組裝於吸入器上,使得套件主體1之套管11套於吸入器之吸嘴外部,於使用時,使用者含住套管11吸氣,此時,大部份氣體自吸入器之儲藥倉經吸嘴進入使用者嘴巴內,亦即,於使用者吸氣時,吸入器之儲藥倉內的氣體產生氣流,將藥劑經吸嘴帶入至使用者體內,另外,基於套件主體1與吸入器之間存有第一流道,故氣體S自入氣孔121進入氣艙12,或氣艙12內之氣體自氣艙12經第一流道而進入使用者之口中,據此,該氣艙12內產生另一氣流(如圖4B之箭頭所示),該另一氣流於氣艙12內流動時,將會帶動導電薄膜22向開路電路21抵靠,使得該開路電路21電性導通,進而使電子組件3啟動。由上可知,由於本發明之吸入器輔助裝置1於使用者使用吸入器時,透過使用者於氣艙12中產生之氣流觸發開關組件2而使電子組件3自動啟動,是以,本發明具有於使用者吸氣時提供自動啟動之功能,無需持續供電給用以作為觸發機制之感測器,進而可達到省電之功效,再者,相較於傳統開關控制或是透過晃動偵測或角度偵測進行設備觸發之機制,本發明亦不易發生因誤觸開關或誤啟動感測器而致電力耗損之問題。 As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the user assembles the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention on the inhaler, so that the sleeve 11 of the main body 1 of the kit is sheathed outside the mouthpiece of the inhaler, and when in use, the user holds the sleeve The tube 11 inhales, at this time, most of the gas enters the user's mouth from the medicine storage compartment of the inhaler through the suction nozzle, that is, when the user inhales, the gas in the medicine storage compartment of the inhaler generates airflow, The medicine is brought into the body of the user through the suction nozzle. In addition, there is a first flow channel between the main body 1 of the kit and the inhaler, so the gas S enters the air chamber 12 from the air inlet hole 121, or the gas in the air chamber 12 is self-inhaling The chamber 12 enters the user's mouth through the first flow channel. Accordingly, another airflow is generated in the air chamber 12 (as shown by the arrow in FIG. 4B ). When the other airflow flows in the air chamber 12, it will drive The conductive film 22 abuts against the open circuit 21 , so that the open circuit 21 is electrically connected, thereby enabling the electronic component 3 to be activated. As can be seen from the above, when the user uses the inhaler, the inhaler auxiliary device 1 of the present invention triggers the switch component 2 through the air flow generated by the user in the air chamber 12 to automatically activate the electronic component 3. Therefore, the present invention has the advantages of Provides the function of automatic activation when the user inhales, and does not need to continuously supply power to the sensor used as a trigger mechanism, thereby achieving the effect of power saving. Moreover, compared with traditional switch control or through shaking detection or The angle detection mechanism is used to trigger the device, and the present invention is also less prone to the problem of power consumption caused by mistakenly touching the switch or mistakenly activating the sensor.

另外,圖2中所示之量測室13,可藉由套管11與吸入器之間所形成之第二流道與套管11之頂端連通,因此,於使用者使用吸入器時,量測室13內之氣壓幾乎相同或接近使用者之口內的氣壓,亦即於使用者吸氣而使量測室13內產生氣壓變化,電子組件3即可透過氣壓計感測該量測室13之氣體壓力,進 而推得使用者使用吸入器時之吸入氣壓,相關數據可供醫護人員或使用者判斷吸入氣壓是否達到標準氣壓。再者,使用者於拿持吸入器進行使用時,亦將造成本發明之吸入器輔助裝置傾斜,可透過內部之加速度計偵測使用者於使用時之角度,進而進行紀錄,同時可作為輔助判斷使用者使用吸入器之姿勢標準與否之判斷依據。 In addition, the measurement chamber 13 shown in FIG. 2 can communicate with the top of the sleeve 11 through the second flow channel formed between the sleeve 11 and the inhaler. Therefore, when the user uses the inhaler, the measurement The air pressure in the measurement chamber 13 is almost the same as or close to the air pressure in the user's mouth, that is, when the user inhales, the air pressure in the measurement chamber 13 changes, and the electronic component 3 can sense the measurement chamber through the barometer 13 gas pressure, enter The inhalation air pressure when the user uses the inhaler can be pushed, and the relevant data can be used by the medical staff or the user to determine whether the inhalation air pressure reaches the standard air pressure. Furthermore, when the user holds the inhaler for use, the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention will also be tilted, and the angle of the user during use can be detected through the internal accelerometer, which can be recorded and used as an auxiliary device. The basis for judging whether the user is using the inhaler's posture standard or not.

於一實施例中,套管以套入方式與吸入器之吸嘴結合時,兩者可以並聯方式進行結合,讓使用者之嘴部在吸入時同時對吸入器與吸入器輔助裝置產生氣壓差,進而能進行氣壓量測之目的;另外,本發明之吸入器輔助裝置之套件主體內部的體積極小,可快速與嘴部的壓力之間產生平衡,藉以降低量測氣壓時之干擾,且由於吸入器與本發明之吸入器輔助裝置之間的氣體流動路線獨立,不會產生藥粉沾附之問題。 In one embodiment, when the sleeve is combined with the mouthpiece of the inhaler in a sleeved manner, the two can be combined in parallel, so that the user's mouth can simultaneously generate an air pressure difference between the inhaler and the inhaler auxiliary device when inhaling. , and then can carry out the purpose of air pressure measurement; in addition, the body of the kit body of the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention is small, which can quickly create a balance between the pressure at the mouth, thereby reducing the interference when measuring the air pressure, and Since the gas flow path between the inhaler and the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention is independent, the problem of powder adhesion will not occur.

此外,本發明之吸入器輔助裝置之套管外觀設計可與吸入器之吸嘴的外觀相仿,亦即,使套管形成環形中空結構,且於其中設計有供氣體流通之通道,即透過導槽設計,使套管與吸入器之吸嘴留有微小通道,即前述之第一流道及第二流道,於使用時,僅須將本發明之套管套於吸入器之吸嘴的外圍,透過設於量測室中之氣壓計即可測得使用者之吸入氣壓,再經由微控制器分析及紀錄以及藍芽模組傳輸,以供醫護人員或使用者可知悉使用狀態。此外,藉由本發明之套管與吸嘴並聯結合,使得使用者於吸入藥劑時,能夠達到在不影響吸入器的氣流或阻擋藥劑的情況下,而量測到使用者之嘴部的氣體壓力之目的。因此,本發明能於無須更改正常吸入流程之情況下,提供使用者可直接以嘴部含套管進行藥劑之吸取,亦不會對於吸入器之內部氣體流動產生影響。 In addition, the appearance design of the sleeve of the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention can be similar to the appearance of the suction nozzle of the inhaler, that is, the sleeve is formed into an annular hollow structure, and a channel for gas circulation is designed therein, that is, through the guide The groove is designed so that the sleeve and the suction nozzle of the inhaler have tiny channels, namely the aforementioned first flow channel and second flow channel. When in use, the sleeve of the present invention only needs to be sleeved on the periphery of the suction nozzle of the inhaler , the user's inhalation air pressure can be measured through the barometer set in the measuring room, and then analyzed and recorded by the microcontroller and transmitted by the Bluetooth module, so that the medical staff or the user can know the use status. In addition, by combining the sleeve of the present invention with the suction nozzle in parallel, the user can measure the gas pressure of the user's mouth without affecting the airflow of the inhaler or blocking the medicine when inhaling the medicine. purpose. Therefore, the present invention can provide the user to directly inhale the medicine with the cannula in the mouth without changing the normal inhalation process without affecting the internal gas flow of the inhaler.

圖6為本發明之吸入器輔助裝置第二實施例之底部視角之立體示意圖,圖7A及圖7B為本發明之吸入器輔助裝置第二實施例於未使用時和使用時之狀態示意圖。如圖所示,本實施例與第一實施例大致相同,其不同之處在於本實施例之吸入器輔助裝置能具有多個開關組件,套件主體亦設有多個對應之氣艙,以下以二個開關組件2、2’以及二個氣艙12、12’進行說明。於本實施例中,本發明之套件主體1具有兩個氣艙12、12’以供對應之開關組件2、2’容置,於一實態樣中,兩個氣艙12、12’相鄰設置,各氣艙12、12’內之各開關組件2、2’則對稱設置,例如,開關組件2之導電薄膜22與開關組件2’之導電薄膜22’設置於相對側(類似鏡像設置)。如圖所示,於未使用時,兩邊之開路電路21、21’俱未導通,致使電子組件3處於無通電之狀態,反之,於使用者透過本發明之吸入器輔助裝置而對吸入器吸氣時,外部之氣體將由各入氣孔121、121’進入對應之氣艙12、12’中,並於各氣艙12、12’內從自入氣孔121、121’流動至套管11而產生氣流,如此,氣流能帶動各氣艙12、12’中的導電薄膜22、22’向對應之開路電路21、21’抵靠,俾同時導通各開路電路21、21’時,以使電子組件3電路導通而啟動。易言之,若開路電路21、21’其中一者未導通時,將無法啟動電子組件3,此設計可避免因為吸入器輔助裝置被傾斜拿取或置放時,有非使用需求下因電路導通而有損耗電力之情況,下面再透過圖8說明此機制。 6 is a schematic perspective view from the bottom of the second embodiment of the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention, and FIGS. 7A and 7B are schematic diagrams of the states of the second embodiment of the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention when not in use and when in use. As shown in the figure, this embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, the difference is that the inhaler auxiliary device of this embodiment can have a plurality of switch components, and the main body of the kit is also provided with a plurality of corresponding air chambers. Two switch assemblies 2, 2' and two air chambers 12, 12' are described. In this embodiment, the kit body 1 of the present invention has two air chambers 12, 12' for accommodating the corresponding switch components 2, 2'. The switch elements 2 and 2' in the air chambers 12 and 12' are arranged symmetrically. For example, the conductive film 22 of the switch element 2 and the conductive film 22' of the switch element 2' are arranged on opposite sides (similar to the mirror image arrangement). ). As shown in the figure, when not in use, the open circuits 21 and 21' on both sides are not connected, so that the electronic component 3 is in a state of no electricity. On the contrary, when the user sucks the inhaler through the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention When the gas is inflated, the external gas will enter the corresponding air chambers 12 and 12' through the air inlet holes 121 and 121', and flow from the air inlet holes 121 and 121' to the casing 11 in the air chambers 12 and 12'. In this way, the air flow can drive the conductive films 22, 22' in the air chambers 12, 12' to abut against the corresponding open circuits 21, 21', so as to turn on the open circuits 21, 21' at the same time, so that the electronic components 3 The circuit is turned on to start. In other words, if one of the open circuits 21 and 21' is not turned on, the electronic component 3 will not be able to be activated. This design can prevent the inhaler auxiliary device from being obliquely picked up or placed when there is a non-use requirement. In the case of conduction and loss of power, this mechanism will be described below through Figure 8.

圖8為本發明吸入器輔助裝置第二實施例傾斜時之內部狀態示意圖。如圖所示,由於各開關組件2、2’係對稱設置,是以,於套件主體1向任一方向傾斜或晃動時,將僅有一側之開關電路2、2’導通,據此,電子組件3將不會被誤啟動,而造成電池之電力的浪費。亦即,本發明利用複數個開關電路, 藉以判定是否處於需要通電之正常使用狀態,或是僅為因套件主體1傾斜所導致的一邊通電之非正常使用之狀態。須說明者,本發明之開關組件可設置多組開關組件,藉由多個氣艙和各開關組件之不同排列方式,可因應不同角度之傾斜或放置而設計出不同防誤啟動機制。 8 is a schematic diagram of the internal state of the second embodiment of the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention when it is inclined. As shown in the figure, since the switch components 2 and 2' are symmetrically arranged, when the main body 1 of the set is tilted or shaken in any direction, only one side of the switch circuits 2 and 2' is turned on. Component 3 will not be activated by mistake, resulting in a waste of battery power. That is, the present invention utilizes a plurality of switch circuits, Thereby, it can be judged whether it is in a normal use state that needs to be energized, or is only in an abnormal use state where one side is energized due to the tilt of the kit body 1 . It should be noted that the switch assembly of the present invention can be provided with multiple sets of switch assemblies, and different anti-misoperation mechanisms can be designed according to the inclination or placement of different angles by means of multiple air chambers and different arrangements of the switch assemblies.

綜上所述,本發明提供一種用於吸入器之吸入器輔助裝置,透過設於氣艙之開關組件,於使用者對結合本發明之吸入器輔助裝置的吸入器進行吸氣時,利用吸氣時對氣艙所產生之氣流,帶動開關組件之導電薄膜來導通開路電路,以據之觸發電子組件啟動,進而對使用吸入器過程中之吸氣的氣壓以及使用吸入器之空間角度進行紀錄,此可供醫護人員或使用者依據所紀錄之資料進行使用姿勢或吸氣力道之調整,因此,透過本發明之開關組件,使用者無須於使用時手動開啟開關以及用畢時關閉開關,即能達到使用便利性的目的,更可避免使用者於未使用時因誤觸而啟動電子組件之問題。另外,本發明使用獨特的機構設計,將吸入器與吸入器輔助裝置以並聯方式結合,利用人體嘴部可以調整大小的功能,使嘴部在吸入時同時對吸入器與吸入器輔助裝置產生氣壓差,由於同時對吸入器與吸入器輔助裝置產生氣壓差且吸入器輔助裝置內部的體積極小,會快速的與嘴部壓力產生平衡,量測到的氣壓受到的干擾極少,故能更準確地推得使用者其嘴部之氣壓壓力,此能作為使用吸入器時調整姿勢或吸氣力道之依據,以提升吸入器使用效果。 To sum up, the present invention provides an inhaler auxiliary device for an inhaler. Through the switch assembly provided in the air chamber, when the user inhales the inhaler combined with the inhaler auxiliary device of the present invention, the inhaler is used for inhalation. The air flow generated by the air chamber during the inhalation drives the conductive film of the switch component to conduct the open circuit, which triggers the electronic component to start, and then records the air pressure of the inhaler during the use of the inhaler and the spatial angle of the inhaler. , which can be used by medical staff or users to adjust the use posture or inspiratory force according to the recorded data. Therefore, through the switch assembly of the present invention, the user does not need to manually turn on the switch during use and turn off the switch when finished, namely The purpose of convenience in use can be achieved, and the problem that the user may activate the electronic components due to accidental touches when not in use can be avoided. In addition, the present invention uses a unique mechanism design to combine the inhaler and the inhaler auxiliary device in parallel, using the function of the human body's mouth that can be adjusted in size, so that the mouth can simultaneously generate air pressure for the inhaler and the inhaler auxiliary device when inhaling Poor, because the air pressure difference between the inhaler and the inhaler auxiliary device is generated at the same time, and the volume inside the inhaler auxiliary device is small, it will quickly balance with the pressure in the mouth, and the measured air pressure is rarely disturbed, so it can be more accurate. This can be used as the basis for adjusting the posture or inhalation force when using the inhaler, so as to improve the use effect of the inhaler.
