Abstract

The apparatus has a casing with a part (A) containing a motor (2) powered by batteries (1) driving a rigid disc (4) against a cover (5). There are three orifices, one (9) in the cover, in opposition to the fixed face of the casing (7), and in the rotary disc (8). The motor can be driven by a transformer or other energy source. the orifice in the cover can receive a buccal sleeve. The cover can be threaded onto the casing section.

Description

Appareil fluidificateur du mucus bronchique pathologique. Fluidifying apparatus for pathological bronchial mucus.

La présente invention concerne un appareil respirateur apportant, lors de l'expiration, une composante vibratoire pour faciliter le désencombrement bronchique. The present invention relates to a respirator providing, upon expiration, a vibratory component to facilitate bronchial decluttering.

Le mucus bronchique se fluidifie mécaniquement lorsqu'il est soumis à une vibration, phénomène physico chimique appelé "tixotropie"
Traditionnellement, on déclenche ces secousses de façon externe par des vibrations mécaniques thoraciques mais le train d'ondes produit diffuse dans le parenchyme pulmonaire et les ondes de choc disparaissent au niveau des bronches distales, des bronchioles et des bronches fines des enfants.The bronchial mucus fluidizes mechanically when subjected to a vibration, a physico-chemical phenomenon called "tixotropy"
Traditionally, these tremors are triggered externally by mechanical thoracic vibrations but the wave train produced diffuses in the pulmonary parenchyma and the shock waves disappear in the distal bronchi, bronchioles and fine bronchi of children.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient car c'est l'air contenu dans les bronches qui transmettra, par voie interne, le champ vibratoire directement au mucus. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback because it is the air contained in the bronchi which will transmit, internally, the vibratory field directly to the mucus.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est un appareil en forme de lampe torche comportant un orifice d'entrée d'air sur sa face avant, un orifice de sortie d'air en opposé et, entre les deux, un disque rotatif, percé lui aussi, destiné à rendre le passage de l'air libre ou bloqué entre les deux orifices d'entrée et de sortie d'air, ce disque étant entraîné par un moteur à piles. The device according to the invention is a torch-shaped device comprising an air inlet port on its front face, an opposite air outlet port and, between the two, a rotary disc, also pierced , intended to make the passage of free or blocked air between the two air inlet and outlet openings, this disc being driven by a battery motor.

Le dispositif est utilisé au moment de l'expiration, l'inspiration se faisant à l'air libre. The device is used at the time of expiration, inspiration taking place in the open air.

L'utilisateur souffle dans l'embout d'entrée d'air de appareil, le flux expiratoire est soit libre lorsque les orifices du disque rotatif et du couvercle correspondent, soit bloqué lorsque les orifices ne concordent plus. Ces blocages / déblocages successifs et rapides du flux expiratoire vont créer un champ vibratoire aérien à pression positive qui va se propager directement en amont au niveau des bronches et déclencher la vibration recherchée du mucus bronchique, entraidant sa fluidification pour faciliter l'expectoration. The user blows into the air inlet nozzle of the device, the expiratory flow is either free when the orifices of the rotary disc and of the cover correspond, or blocked when the orifices no longer match. These successive and rapid blockages / unblockings of the expiratory flow will create an air vibration field at positive pressure which will propagate directly upstream at the level of the bronchi and trigger the desired vibration of the bronchial mucus, helping its fluidification to facilitate expectoration.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention:
La figure 1 représente en coupe le dispositif selon l'invention.The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
Figure 1 shows in section the device according to the invention.

La figure 2 représente un éclaté de la face avant du couvercle laissant apparaître en grisé le disque rotatif.FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of the front face of the cover revealing the rotating disc in gray.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est constitué d'un boîtier composé de deux portions cylindrique de diamètres différents: un segment long (A) servant de poignée contenant un moteur électrique (2) à pilets (1) entraînant par son arbre central (3) ,dans une deuxième segment (B) du boîtier d'un diamètre plus large, un disque rigide (4),d'un diamètre juste inférieur à celui du diamètre interne du segment B, comportant un orifice (8) tournant à une vitesse définie, sans frottement, quasiment contre le couvercle (5) du boîtier, lui aussi percé d'un orifice (9) similaire, pouvant recevoir un embout buccal (6) .Un orifice (7) pour l'évacuation de l'air expiré est situé sur la partie B du boîtier opposée au couvercle.  The device according to the invention consists of a housing composed of two cylindrical portions of different diameters: a long segment (A) serving as a handle containing an electric motor (2) with pins (1) driving by its central shaft (3) , in a second segment (B) of the housing with a larger diameter, a rigid disc (4), with a diameter just less than that of the internal diameter of segment B, comprising an orifice (8) rotating at a defined speed , without friction, almost against the cover (5) of the housing, also pierced with a similar orifice (9), capable of receiving a mouthpiece (6). An orifice (7) for the evacuation of the exhaled air is located on part B of the housing opposite the cover.

Le boîtier est fabriqué en matière plastique et peut être stérilisé. The housing is made of plastic and can be sterilized.

Le moteur est équipé d'un interrupteur. n peut être équipé d'un potentiomètre variant la vitesse de rotation du disque suivant les besoins des diverses pathologies respiratoires
Le disque rotatif est en matière plastique rigide, il est amovible de l'arbre du moteur.The motor is fitted with a switch. n can be fitted with a potentiometer varying the speed of rotation of the disc according to the needs of various respiratory pathologies
The rotating disc is made of rigid plastic, it is removable from the motor shaft.

Une fois le couvercle dévissé ainsi que les piles et le moteur retirés, on peut stériliser à chaud ou à froid le boîtier et le disque rotatif. Once the cover has been unscrewed as well as the batteries and the motor removed, the housing and the rotating disc can be sterilized hot or cold.

L'espace entre le disque et le couvercle doit être suffisant pour que la rotation du disque
se fasse sans frottements, mais assez faible pour que le volume d'air contenu dans cet espace
soit négligeable.There must be enough space between the disc and the cover for the disc to rotate
without friction, but low enough so that the volume of air contained in this space
is negligible.

Selon une variante, le moteur peut être alimenté par un transformateur ou toute autre
source d'énergie.Alternatively, the motor can be powered by a transformer or any other
energy source.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le boîtier aura une longueur de 15 cm et un diamètre de
couvercle de 10 cm. By way of nonlimiting example, the case will have a length of 15 cm and a diameter of
10 cm cover.
