Description
本發明係關於一種霧化系統、霧化器及其驅動方法。The invention relates to an atomizing system, an atomizer and a driving method thereof.
近年來，各種霧化器，即噴霧器，被大量的應用於醫療保健或美容保養的用途。其係將醫療用藥液、美容液或香精等液體藉由霧化裝置霧化成較小之氣體分子後，使其易於深入身體，例如用於保健或治療呼吸道疾病、或使皮膚更迅速地吸收藥液或美容液、抑或是增加芳香氣味等用途。In recent years, various atomizers, that is, nebulizers, have been widely used in medical care or cosmetic maintenance. It is used to atomize liquids such as medical liquids, cosmetic liquids, or fragrances into smaller gas molecules through an atomizing device, making them easy to penetrate into the body, for example, for health care or treatment of respiratory diseases, or to make the skin absorb drugs more quickly Liquid or cosmetic liquid, or to increase the aroma and odor.
在使用上，霧化器可連接市電作為電力來源，以提供全載供藥，進而縮短療程時間。而當使用者在無法連接市電的場所使用霧化器時，霧化器可藉由電池作為電力來源來供藥。不過，由於電池所提供的電量有限，因此若霧化器仍維持全載供藥的話，電池儲存的電量將會快速耗盡，因而縮短電池的供電時間，進而影響療程。In use, the nebulizer can be connected to the city electricity as a power source to provide full-load medicine, thereby shortening the treatment time. When the user uses the atomizer in a place where the mains power cannot be connected, the atomizer can supply the medicine by using the battery as a power source. However, due to the limited power provided by the battery, if the atomizer still maintains a full-load supply of medicine, the stored power of the battery will be quickly exhausted, thereby shortening the power supply time of the battery and affecting the treatment course.
另一方面，由於目前的霧化器在提供噴霧治療時，無法隨著使用者的呼吸節奏調整供藥，因此時常發生使用者呼氣時將藥霧吹出而未確實吸入的情形，因而造成藥量的浪費，同時也影響治療效果。On the other hand, since the current nebulizer cannot provide medicine in accordance with the breathing rhythm of the user when providing spray therapy, it often happens that the medicine mist is blown out when the user exhales, but the medicine is not inhaled.

The same components will be described with the same reference symbols.
圖1A為本發明第一實施例的一種霧化系統的方塊示意圖，而圖1B為圖1A所示霧化系統的結構示意圖。請同時參照圖1A及圖1B所示，霧化系統S可應用於醫療保健或美容保養，本實施例是以醫療用藥物霧化系統進行說明。在本實施例中，霧化系統S包括一霧化器1及一電源適配器2，而電源適配器2可分離地連接霧化器1，並可供電至霧化器1。FIG. 1A is a schematic block diagram of an atomizing system according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a schematic structural diagram of an atomizing system shown in FIG. 1A. Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B at the same time. The atomizing system S can be applied to medical care or cosmetic maintenance. This embodiment is described with a medical drug atomizing system. In this embodiment, the atomizing system S includes an atomizer 1 and a power adapter 2, and the power adapter 2 is detachably connected to the atomizer 1 and can supply power to the atomizer 1.
請一併搭配圖1C所示，其為霧化器1的分解圖。霧化器1包括一霧化驅動裝置11及一霧化模組12，而霧化驅動裝置11連結霧化模組12，並可驅動霧化模組12產生噴霧。在本實施例中，霧化驅動裝置11與霧化模組12為可分離設計，例如藉由卡扣或滑槽等方式連結。如此一來，當使用者欲清洗霧化模組12時，便可分離霧化驅動裝置11與霧化模組12，僅對霧化模組12進行清潔，從而避免霧化驅動裝置11內的電子元件受潮而損壞。而在其他實施例中，霧化驅動裝置11與霧化裝置12也可為不可分離的設計，本發明並不加以限制。Please match it together as shown in FIG. 1C, which is an exploded view of the atomizer 1. The atomizer 1 includes an atomization driving device 11 and an atomization module 12. The atomization driving device 11 is connected to the atomization module 12 and can drive the atomization module 12 to generate a spray. In this embodiment, the atomization driving device 11 and the atomization module 12 are designed to be separable, for example, they are connected by a buckle or a chute. In this way, when the user wants to clean the atomizing module 12, the atomizing driving device 11 and the atomizing module 12 can be separated, and only the atomizing module 12 is cleaned, thereby avoiding the inside of the atomizing driving device 11. Electronic components are damaged due to moisture. In other embodiments, the atomization driving device 11 and the atomization device 12 may also be inseparable, which is not limited in the present invention.
霧化驅動裝置11包括一輸入端111、一電池單元112、一切換單元113、一電壓偵測單元114、一電壓調整單元115、一驅動單元116、一脈寬調變單元117以及一控制單元118。需先說明的是，脈寬調變單元117是可有可無，在不具有脈寬調變單元117的實施例中，霧化驅動裝置11仍可正常運作，而本實施例藉由脈寬調變單元117的設置，更能提升霧化驅動裝置11的電源管理效率，容後再述。The atomization driving device 11 includes an input terminal 111, a battery unit 112, a switching unit 113, a voltage detection unit 114, a voltage adjustment unit 115, a driving unit 116, a pulse width modulation unit 117, and a control unit 118. It should be noted that the pulse width modulation unit 117 is optional or not. In the embodiment without the pulse width modulation unit 117, the atomization driving device 11 can still operate normally. The setting of the modulation unit 117 can further improve the power management efficiency of the atomization driving device 11, which will be described later.
控制單元118耦接切換單元113、電壓偵測單元114、電壓調整單元115以及脈寬調變單元117，以接收上述各單元的訊號或是控制上述各單元的作動。控制單元118可由數位電路例如積體電路（IC），或類比電路來實現其功能。積體電路可例如為微處理器（Micro-processor）、微控制器（MCU）、可程式邏輯閘陣列（FPGA或CPLD）或特定應用積體電路（ASIC），本發明並不限制。另外，在不具有脈寬調變單元117的實施例中，控制單元118是直接耦接驅動單元116，或是控制單元118不耦接驅動單元116。The control unit 118 is coupled to the switching unit 113, the voltage detection unit 114, the voltage adjustment unit 115, and the pulse width modulation unit 117, so as to receive signals from the aforementioned units or control the operations of the aforementioned units. The control unit 118 may be implemented by a digital circuit such as an integrated circuit (IC), or an analog circuit. The integrated circuit may be, for example, a microprocessor (Micro-processor), a microcontroller (MCU), a programmable logic gate array (FPGA or CPLD), or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which is not limited in the present invention. In addition, in the embodiment without the pulse width modulation unit 117, the control unit 118 is directly coupled to the driving unit 116, or the control unit 118 is not coupled to the driving unit 116.
輸入端111可耦接電源適配器2，以使電源適配器2供電至霧化驅動裝置11。而輸入端111亦同時耦接電池單元112，以當霧化器1未耦接市電時，電池單元112可作為霧化驅動裝置11的電力來源。The input terminal 111 can be coupled to the power adapter 2, so that the power adapter 2 can supply power to the atomization driving device 11. The input terminal 111 is also coupled to the battery unit 112 at the same time, so that when the atomizer 1 is not coupled to the mains power, the battery unit 112 can be used as the power source of the atomization driving device 11.
切換單元113的一端耦接輸入端111，另一端耦接電池單元112。電壓偵測單元114耦接輸入端111，並可偵測輸入端111的電壓是否大於一設定值。在本實施例中，當電源適配器2耦接輸入端111而提供市電時，電源適配器2可提供的電壓是高於電池單元112可提供的電壓，而設定值設定於此二個電壓之間，例如電源適配器2提供5伏特的電壓，而電池單元112提供3伏特的電壓，此時設定值可例如為4伏特的電壓。因此，當電壓偵測單元114偵測輸入端的電壓大於設定值而回傳偵測結果至控制單元118時，控制單元118據以判斷此時電源適配器2已耦接輸入端111，且電源適配器2亦提供市電至霧化器1，接著控制單元118控制切換單元113截止（或斷開），以使電池單元112不會提供電力至輸入端111，同時也避免市電對電池單元112誤充電，進而保護電池單元112而不致影響其使用壽命。One end of the switching unit 113 is coupled to the input terminal 111 and the other end is coupled to the battery unit 112. The voltage detection unit 114 is coupled to the input terminal 111 and can detect whether the voltage of the input terminal 111 is greater than a set value. In this embodiment, when the power adapter 2 is coupled to the input terminal 111 to provide mains power, the voltage that the power adapter 2 can provide is higher than the voltage that the battery unit 112 can provide, and the set value is set between these two voltages. For example, the power adapter 2 provides a voltage of 5 volts, and the battery unit 112 provides a voltage of 3 volts. At this time, the set value may be, for example, a voltage of 4 volts. Therefore, when the voltage detection unit 114 detects that the voltage at the input terminal is greater than the set value and returns the detection result to the control unit 118, the control unit 118 judges that the power adapter 2 is coupled to the input terminal 111 at this time, and the power adapter 2 The utility power is also provided to the atomizer 1, and then the control unit 118 controls the switching unit 113 to be turned off (or disconnected) so that the battery unit 112 does not provide power to the input terminal 111, and also prevents the utility power from charging the battery unit 112 by mistake, and Protect the battery unit 112 from affecting its service life.
接續上述，當電壓偵測單元114偵測輸入端111的電壓小於設定值而回傳偵測結果至控制單元118時，控制單元118據以判斷電源適配器2未提供市電至霧化器1，例如是電源適配器2未耦接輸入端111，或是電源適配器2已耦接輸入端111但並未耦接市電。此時控制單元118控制切換單元113導通，以使電池單元112作為電力來源。在實施上，電壓偵測單元114的電路圖可參照圖8A所示。Continuing from the above, when the voltage detection unit 114 detects that the voltage at the input terminal 111 is less than the set value and returns the detection result to the control unit 118, the control unit 118 judges that the power adapter 2 does not provide the mains power to the atomizer 1, such as Whether the power adapter 2 is not coupled to the input terminal 111 or the power adapter 2 is coupled to the input terminal 111 but is not coupled to the mains power. At this time, the control unit 118 controls the switching unit 113 to be turned on, so that the battery unit 112 serves as a power source. In implementation, the circuit diagram of the voltage detection unit 114 can be referred to FIG. 8A.
具體而言，請參照圖2所示，其為切換單元的電路示意圖。切換單元113可包括一開關1131及一二極體1132，開關1131的一端耦接電池單元112及二極體1132的陽極端，而開關1131的另一端耦接輸入端111及二極體1132的陰極端，且開關1131的控制端耦接控制單元118。於此，控制單元118可如上述判斷控制開關1131的截止與導通。此外，在一些實施例中，切換單元113也可僅以一個開關1131，或是僅以一個二極體1132來實現，本發明並不限制。Specifically, please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic circuit diagram of a switching unit. The switching unit 113 may include a switch 1131 and a diode 1132. One end of the switch 1131 is coupled to the battery unit 112 and the anode terminal of the diode 1132, and the other end of the switch 1131 is coupled to the input terminal 111 and the diode 1132. The cathode terminal, and the control terminal of the switch 1131 is coupled to the control unit 118. Here, the control unit 118 can judge whether the control switch 1131 is off or on as described above. In addition, in some embodiments, the switching unit 113 may also be implemented by only one switch 1131 or only one diode 1132, which is not limited in the present invention.
電壓調整單元115將輸入端111接收的輸入電壓調整至工作電壓，並輸出至驅動單元116，其中，輸入電壓可由電源適配器2提供或是電池單元112提供。在實施上，電壓調整單元115可例如是升壓電路（boost circuit）、降壓電路（buck circuit）或升/降壓電路（boost-buck circuit），在此並不限制。The voltage adjusting unit 115 adjusts the input voltage received by the input terminal 111 to an operating voltage, and outputs the operating voltage to the driving unit 116. The input voltage can be provided by the power adapter 2 or the battery unit 112. In practice, the voltage adjustment unit 115 may be, for example, a boost circuit, a buck circuit, or a boost-buck circuit, which is not limited herein.
驅動單元116耦接電壓調整單元115，並依據電壓調整單元115的輸出電壓驅動霧化模組12的振動單元121振動，以產生噴霧。振動單元121可為壓電（piezo）材料，藉由在壓電材料上施加電壓而產生振動，進而將藥液轉為噴霧，其中施加的電壓愈高，產生的振動愈大，因而噴霧量也愈多。在實施上，電壓調整單元115及驅動單元116的電路可參照圖8B所示，其中，可利用商用電源晶片U2構成前述電壓調整單元115。另外，驅動單元116的其他變化態樣可參照圖8C及圖8D所示。The driving unit 116 is coupled to the voltage adjusting unit 115 and drives the vibration unit 121 of the atomizing module 12 to vibrate according to the output voltage of the voltage adjusting unit 115 to generate a spray. The vibrating unit 121 may be a piezoelectric (piezo) material, which generates a vibration by applying a voltage to the piezoelectric material, and then converts the medicinal solution into a spray. The higher the applied voltage, the larger the generated vibration, and therefore the amount of spray. More. In practice, the circuit of the voltage adjusting unit 115 and the driving unit 116 can be referred to FIG. 8B, and the aforementioned voltage adjusting unit 115 can be formed by using a commercial power supply chip U2. In addition, for other variations of the driving unit 116, refer to FIG. 8C and FIG. 8D.
圖3A為驅動單元的輸入電壓的波形圖。請一併參照圖1A及圖3A所示，在本實施例中，控制單元118可依據電力來源決定工作電壓。當市電供電時，控制單元118設定霧化驅動裝置11為一般驅動模式（或第一驅動模式），而當電池單元112供電時，控制單元118設定霧化驅動裝置11為節能驅動模式（或第二驅動模式）。於一般驅動模式時，電壓調整單元115可將輸入電壓調整至第一工作電壓V1（例如為10伏特）並輸出，而於節能驅動模式時，電壓調整單元115可將輸入電壓調整至第二工作電壓V2（例如為8伏特）並輸出，其中第一工作電壓V1大於第二工作電壓V2。如此一來，在節能驅動模式時，電池單元112可提供較低的電力供應，而非第一工作電壓V1，進而延長電池單元112的供電時間。此外，第二工作電壓V2可為第一工作電壓V1的60%至80%，以在節能的同時亦不致影響治療效果。FIG. 3A is a waveform diagram of an input voltage of the driving unit. Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 3A together. In this embodiment, the control unit 118 may determine the working voltage according to the power source. When mains power is supplied, the control unit 118 sets the atomization driving device 11 to the general driving mode (or the first driving mode), and when the battery unit 112 supplies power, the control unit 118 sets the atomization driving device 11 to the energy-saving driving mode (or the first driving mode). Two drive mode). In the general driving mode, the voltage adjusting unit 115 can adjust the input voltage to the first working voltage V1 (for example, 10 volts) and output it. In the energy-saving driving mode, the voltage adjusting unit 115 can adjust the input voltage to the second working voltage. The voltage V2 (for example, 8 volts) is output, wherein the first working voltage V1 is greater than the second working voltage V2. In this way, in the energy-saving driving mode, the battery unit 112 can provide a lower power supply instead of the first operating voltage V1, thereby extending the power supply time of the battery unit 112. In addition, the second working voltage V2 may be 60% to 80% of the first working voltage V1, so as to save energy and not affect the treatment effect.
圖3B及圖3C分別為驅動單元的另一種輸入電壓的波形圖。請先參照圖1A及圖3B所示，脈寬調變單元117耦接驅動單元116，並可產生脈寬調變訊號控制驅動單元116的工作週期T，例如工作週期T可為50%，即供藥期間與停藥期間相等。在一些實施例中，不論於一般驅動模式或節能驅動模式，脈寬調變單元117皆產生相同工作週期T的脈寬調變訊號，也就是工作週期不受驅動模式的影響。接著參照圖1A及圖3C所示，而在另一些實施例中，控制單元118可在節能驅動模式時，控制脈寬調變單元117產生工作週期T較短的脈寬調變訊號，例如工作週期T調整為45%，如此也可節省電池單元112的電力消耗，延長電池單元112的使用時間。3B and 3C are waveform diagrams of another input voltage of the driving unit, respectively. Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 3B first. The pulse width modulation unit 117 is coupled to the drive unit 116 and can generate a pulse width modulation signal to control the duty cycle T of the drive unit 116. For example, the duty cycle T can be 50%, that is, The period of medication is equal to the period of withdrawal. In some embodiments, regardless of the general driving mode or the energy-saving driving mode, the pulse width modulation unit 117 generates a pulse width modulation signal with the same duty cycle T, that is, the duty cycle is not affected by the driving mode. Referring next to FIG. 1A and FIG. 3C, in other embodiments, the control unit 118 may control the pulse width modulation unit 117 to generate a pulse width modulation signal with a shorter duty cycle T in the energy-saving driving mode, such as working The period T is adjusted to 45%, so that the power consumption of the battery unit 112 can also be saved, and the use time of the battery unit 112 can be extended.
圖4A為本發明第二實施例的一種霧化系統的方塊示意圖，而圖4B為圖4A所示霧化系統的結構示意圖。請同時參照圖4A及圖4B所示，本實施例與第一實施例大致相同，其差異在於本實施例的霧化系統S1更包括一輔助件3。輔助件3可為面罩或導管，而本實施例是以面罩為例進行說明。輔助件3具有一呼吸偵測單元31，而呼吸偵測單元31耦接控制單元118。在本實施例中，呼吸偵測單元31可偵測使用者的呼吸狀態，並將偵測結果傳送至控制單元118，控制單元118可據以控制驅動單元116是否運作。FIG. 4A is a schematic block diagram of an atomizing system according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4B is a schematic structural diagram of an atomizing system shown in FIG. 4A. Please refer to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B simultaneously. This embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment. The difference is that the atomizing system S1 of this embodiment further includes an auxiliary member 3. The auxiliary member 3 may be a mask or a catheter, and this embodiment is described using the mask as an example. The auxiliary component 3 has a breathing detection unit 31, and the breathing detection unit 31 is coupled to the control unit 118. In this embodiment, the breathing detection unit 31 can detect the breathing state of the user, and transmit the detection result to the control unit 118, and the control unit 118 can control whether the driving unit 116 operates or not.
圖4C為輔助件的示意圖。請一併參照圖4A、圖4B及圖4C所示，在本實施例中，呼吸偵測單元31為微型開關（micro switch），而面罩（輔助件3）上設置有薄膜，且薄膜與微型開關為相鄰設置。當使用者配戴面罩進行噴霧治療時，在吸氣的過程中，使用者會將薄膜吸向使用者，致使微型開關受到薄膜擠壓而啟動，進而傳送訊號至控制單元118，接著控制單元118據以使驅動單元116產生作動，以提供藥霧至使用者。另一方面，使用者在呼氣的過程中，會將薄膜吹離微型開關，致使微型開關不受到薄膜擠壓而關閉，此時因為控制單元118未接收到微型開關的訊號，因此控制驅動單元116不產生作動，如此便不會提供藥霧至使用者，可避免使用者將藥霧呼出而浪費用藥。FIG. 4C is a schematic diagram of an auxiliary member. Please refer to FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C together. In this embodiment, the breathing detection unit 31 is a micro switch, and a film is provided on the mask (auxiliary member 3), and the film and the micro The switches are set adjacently. When the user wears a mask for spray therapy, during the inhalation process, the user will suck the film toward the user, causing the micro switch to be squeezed by the film to start, and then send a signal to the control unit 118, and then the control unit 118 According to this, the driving unit 116 is actuated to provide the medicine mist to the user. On the other hand, during the exhalation process, the user will blow the film away from the micro switch, so that the micro switch is not closed by being squeezed by the film. At this time, because the control unit 118 does not receive the signal of the micro switch, the control unit is controlled. 116 does not produce action, so it will not provide the drug mist to the user, which can prevent the user from exhaling the drug mist and wasting medication.
其中，控制單元118控制驅動單元116的作動與否可例如藉由在脈寬調變單元117與驅動單元116之間設置開關，並控制此開關的導通與截止來實現，或是藉由在控制單元118與脈寬調變單元117之間設置開關來實現，本發明於此並不加以限制。Among them, whether the control unit 118 controls the operation of the driving unit 116 can be achieved by, for example, setting a switch between the pulse width modulation unit 117 and the driving unit 116 and controlling the on and off of the switch, or by controlling A switch is provided between the unit 118 and the pulse width modulation unit 117 for implementation, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
需注意的是，雖然本實施例是以吸氣時觸發呼吸偵測單元31而給藥為例進行說明，而在實施上，也可藉由呼氣時觸發呼吸偵測單元31而使霧化器1停止給藥，在此並不加以限制。It should be noted that although the present embodiment is described by taking the triggering of the breath detection unit 31 and inhaling as an example for inhalation, in practice, it can also be atomized by triggering the breath detection unit 31 when exhaling. Dispensing of the device 1 is not limited here.
此外，在一些實施例中，呼吸偵測單元31可為紅外線偵測器或音源偵測器。紅外線偵測器可偵測呼吸中的氣流波動變化，進而判斷使用者是否處於呼氣或吸氣的狀態。而音源偵測器可偵測使用者呼氣與吸氣時的聲音，並據以判斷使用者的呼吸狀態。In addition, in some embodiments, the breathing detection unit 31 may be an infrared detector or a sound source detector. The infrared detector can detect changes in airflow fluctuations in the breath, thereby determining whether the user is exhaling or inhaling. The sound source detector can detect the sound of the user when exhaling and inhaling, and judge the breathing state of the user accordingly.
值得一提的是，本實施例藉由偵測呼吸而給藥的驅動方式也可與前述實施例的驅動模式作結合。例如，當在節能驅動模式中，呼吸偵測單元31偵測使用者吸氣時，控制單元118可控制驅動單元116產生作動，並且此時驅動單元116的輸入電壓為第二工作電壓V2，或是此時的脈寬調變單元117產生工作週期為45%的脈寬調變訊號，而在呼吸偵測單元31偵測使用者呼氣時，控制單元118便控制驅動單元116停止作動。類似地，一般驅動模式也可與本實施例作結合，於此便不贅述。It is worth mentioning that the driving mode of drug administration by detecting breathing in this embodiment can also be combined with the driving mode of the previous embodiment. For example, when the breathing detection unit 31 detects that the user is inhaling in the energy-saving driving mode, the control unit 118 may control the driving unit 116 to generate an action, and at this time, the input voltage of the driving unit 116 is the second working voltage V2, or It is at this time that the pulse width modulation unit 117 generates a pulse width modulation signal with a duty cycle of 45%. When the breathing detection unit 31 detects the user's exhalation, the control unit 118 controls the driving unit 116 to stop operating. Similarly, the general driving mode can also be combined with this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
此外，請參照圖5所示，其為使用者呼吸週期及驅動單元的輸入電壓在智能驅動模式時的波形圖。本實施例的霧化系統S1更可提供智能驅動模式（或第三驅動模式）。在智能驅動模式中，控制單元118可控制驅動單元116的作動時點與停止時點，達到預先給藥，或是給藥時點與吸氣時點同步的效果。進一步而言，控制單元118可統計使用者呼吸的頻率與週期，並計算呼吸頻率與週期的平均值，進而預測使用者之後吸氣的時段。如此一來，控制單元118可在略早於使用者吸氣的時點便控制驅動單元116作動，或是與使用者吸氣的時點同步給藥，以解決控制單元118在接收呼吸偵測單元31測得使用者吸氣後，才控制驅動單元116作動而延遲給藥的問題。In addition, please refer to FIG. 5, which is a waveform diagram of the user's breathing cycle and the input voltage of the driving unit in the intelligent driving mode. The atomizing system S1 of this embodiment may further provide an intelligent driving mode (or a third driving mode). In the intelligent driving mode, the control unit 118 can control the actuating time and the stopping time of the driving unit 116 to achieve the effect of pre-administration or synchronization of the administration time and the inspiration time. Further, the control unit 118 may count the breathing frequency and period of the user, and calculate an average value of the breathing frequency and period, so as to predict the period of the user's subsequent inhalation. In this way, the control unit 118 can control the driving unit 116 to act slightly earlier than when the user inhales, or synchronize the administration with the time when the user inhales, so that the control unit 118 receives the breath detection unit 31 The problem that the driving unit 116 is controlled to be delayed after the user inhales the breath is measured.
圖6A為本發明第三實施例的一種霧化系統S2的方塊示意圖。請同時參照圖6A所示，本實施例與第一實施例大致相同，其差異在於本實施例的霧化器1a不是藉由電壓偵測單元114來判斷電力來源為市電或電池單元112，而是藉由電流偵測單元114a來判斷電力來源。在本實施例中，電流偵測單元114a耦接輸入端111、電壓調整單元115以及控制單元118。電流流經電流偵測單元114a，產生或轉換為電壓訊號提供給控制單元118作為電流資訊。電池單元112或電源適配器2提供的電流將流至電流偵測單元114a，而電流偵測單元114a可依據電流的大小是否大於設定值而判斷電力來源，例如大於設定值時，即判斷為市電供電，而小於設定值時則為電池單元112供電，或是例如大於設定值時判斷為電池單元112供電，而小於設定值時則為市電供電。實施上，電流偵測單元114a可例如為電阻或變流器（Current transformer）或霍爾元件，或其他可偵測電流的元件，於此並不限制。在其他實施例中，偵測電流值可以依據輸入的電壓，明確的鑑別當時的輸入電流，例如當輸入電壓由電源適配器2提供時，此時輸入電壓為5V，而電流為0.25A，又或輸入電壓為全新的電池（電池單元112）提供時，此時電壓為3V，而電流為0.42A。也就是說，在額定功率的設定下，輸入電壓越高，其電流越小，因而可依據偵測到的電流大小進一步判斷電力來源為市電（電源適配器2）或是電池單元112。FIG. 6A is a block diagram of an atomization system S2 according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 6A at the same time. This embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment. The difference is that the atomizer 1a of this embodiment does not use the voltage detection unit 114 to determine whether the power source is the mains or battery unit 112. The power source is determined by the current detection unit 114a. In this embodiment, the current detection unit 114 a is coupled to the input terminal 111, the voltage adjustment unit 115, and the control unit 118. The current flows through the current detection unit 114a, is generated or converted into a voltage signal, and is provided to the control unit 118 as current information. The current provided by the battery unit 112 or the power adapter 2 will flow to the current detection unit 114a, and the current detection unit 114a can determine the source of power based on whether the current is greater than a set value. When the value is smaller than the set value, the battery unit 112 is powered, or when the value is greater than the set value, the battery unit 112 is judged to be powered, and when the value is smaller than the set value, the battery unit 112 is powered. In practice, the current detection unit 114a may be, for example, a resistor or a current transformer or a Hall element, or other elements capable of detecting current, which is not limited herein. In other embodiments, the detected current value can clearly identify the current input current based on the input voltage. For example, when the input voltage is provided by the power adapter 2, the input voltage is 5V and the current is 0.25A, or When the input voltage is provided by a brand new battery (battery unit 112), the voltage is 3V and the current is 0.42A. That is, under the setting of the rated power, the higher the input voltage is, the smaller the current is. Therefore, it can be further judged whether the power source is the mains (power adapter 2) or the battery unit 112 according to the detected current.
另外，本實施例的輸入端111是耦接至切換單元113，即電源適配器2提供的電流將會流經切換單元113至電流偵測單元114a，再流至電壓調整單元115。其中，切換單元113的元件及作動等說明已詳述於上述實施例中，於此不再贅述。In addition, the input terminal 111 of this embodiment is coupled to the switching unit 113, that is, the current provided by the power adapter 2 will flow through the switching unit 113 to the current detection unit 114a, and then to the voltage adjustment unit 115. The description of the components and operations of the switching unit 113 has been described in detail in the above embodiments, and is not repeated here.
值得一提的是，在一些實施例中，電壓偵測單元114及電流偵測單元114a是同時存在的，例如圖6B所示。其中，電壓偵測單元114用以判斷電力來源，如前述實施例所述，而電流偵測單元114a則是用以調整功率。進一步來說，控制單元118可依據電壓偵測單元114偵測輸入電壓的電壓值以判斷電力來源，再依據電流偵測單元114a所偵測的輸入電流的電流值計算功率。當控制單元118判斷計算後的功率過高或過低時，控制單元118可調整電壓調整單元115的阻值，以維持額定功率。於一實施例中，電流偵測單元114a的電路圖如圖8E所示。It is worth mentioning that, in some embodiments, the voltage detection unit 114 and the current detection unit 114a exist simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 6B. The voltage detection unit 114 is used to determine the power source, as described in the previous embodiment, and the current detection unit 114a is used to adjust the power. Further, the control unit 118 may determine the source of power according to the voltage value of the input voltage detected by the voltage detection unit 114, and then calculate the power according to the current value of the input current detected by the current detection unit 114a. When the control unit 118 determines that the calculated power is too high or too low, the control unit 118 may adjust the resistance of the voltage adjustment unit 115 to maintain the rated power. In one embodiment, the circuit diagram of the current detection unit 114a is shown in FIG. 8E.
圖7為本發明較佳實施例的一種霧化系統的驅動方法的步驟流程圖。請同時參照圖1A、圖1B及圖7所示，本實施例的驅動方法是應用於霧化系統，例如是上述第一實施例的霧化系統S或是第二實施例的霧化系統S1，於此是以第一實施例的霧化系統S進行說明。其中，霧化系統S的元件及作動等說明已詳述於上，於此不作贅述。本實施例的驅動方法包括以下步驟：偵測輸入電壓是否小於電池單元的電壓（S01）；若是，停止運作（S02）；若否，偵測輸入電壓是否小於設定值（S03）；當輸入電壓小於設定值，進入節能驅動模式（S04）；當輸入電壓大於設定值，進入一般驅動模式（S05）。FIG. 7 is a flowchart of steps of a driving method of an atomization system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, and FIG. 7 at the same time. The driving method of this embodiment is applied to an atomizing system, such as the atomizing system S of the first embodiment or the atomizing system S1 of the second embodiment. Here, the atomizing system S of the first embodiment is used for description. The descriptions of the components and operations of the atomization system S have been described in detail above, and are not repeated here. The driving method of this embodiment includes the following steps: detecting whether the input voltage is less than the voltage of the battery unit (S01); if yes, stopping the operation (S02); if not, detecting whether the input voltage is less than a set value (S03); when the input voltage When it is less than the set value, it enters the energy-saving drive mode (S04); when the input voltage is greater than the set value, it enters the general drive mode (S05).
在步驟S01中，當霧化器1未連接市電，且電池單元112為低電量時，電壓偵測單元114測得輸入電壓小於電池單元112的電壓，控制單元118將停止驅動單元116運作（即步驟S02）。反之，若輸入電壓大於電池單元112的電壓，將進入步驟S03，以進一步判斷輸入電壓是否小於設定值。In step S01, when the atomizer 1 is not connected to the mains power and the battery unit 112 is low, the voltage detection unit 114 detects that the input voltage is less than the voltage of the battery unit 112, and the control unit 118 stops the operation of the driving unit 116 (ie Step S02). On the contrary, if the input voltage is greater than the voltage of the battery unit 112, the process proceeds to step S03 to further determine whether the input voltage is less than a set value.
在步驟S04中，進入節能驅動模式時，即電池單元112供電，而此時輸入電壓為第二工作電壓。在實施上，可搭配脈寬調變單元117減少驅動單元116的工作週期T，以進一步減少電池單元112的電力消耗，延長電池單元112的使用時間。In step S04, when the energy-saving driving mode is entered, that is, the battery unit 112 supplies power, and at this time, the input voltage is the second working voltage. In practice, the pulse width modulation unit 117 can be used to reduce the duty cycle T of the driving unit 116 to further reduce the power consumption of the battery unit 112 and extend the use time of the battery unit 112.
而在步驟S05中，進入一般驅動模式時，即市電供電，此時輸入電壓為第一工作電壓，且第一工作電壓大於第二工作電壓，如此可提供全載的電力輸出，提高噴霧療效。其中，第二工作電壓可為第一工作電壓的60%至80%，以在節能的同時亦不致影響治療效果。此外，控制單元118可更控制切換單元113截止（或斷開），以避免電池單元112仍持續供電，並且防止電池單元112誤充電。In step S05, when entering the general driving mode, that is, the mains power supply, the input voltage is the first working voltage, and the first working voltage is greater than the second working voltage, which can provide a full-load power output and improve the efficacy of the spray. The second working voltage may be 60% to 80% of the first working voltage, so as to save energy and not affect the treatment effect. In addition, the control unit 118 can further control the switching unit 113 to be turned off (or disconnected) to prevent the battery unit 112 from still supplying power and prevent the battery unit 112 from being charged incorrectly.
承上所述，在一些實施例中，霧化系統包括一呼吸偵測模組以及一噴霧調整模組，呼吸偵測模組偵測一使用者的呼吸狀況而產生一偵測結果，偵測結果可反映使用者的呼吸節奏，例如使用者當下處於呼氣或吸氣的狀態、或使用者即將呼氣或吸氣的狀態。噴霧調整模組根據偵測結果來調整霧化模組12產生噴霧的時機或噴出量，較佳的是在噴霧調整模組的控制下，霧化模組12的噴霧能順著使用者的呼吸節奏而產生或噴出。舉例來說，霧化模組12可被噴霧調整模組控制為使用者呼氣時不產生噴霧。呼吸偵測模組可包括前述偵測單元31，噴霧調整模組可包括前述控制單元118及驅動單元116。另外，噴霧調整模組還可包括霧化驅動裝置11的其他元件。As mentioned above, in some embodiments, the atomization system includes a breathing detection module and a spray adjustment module. The breathing detection module detects a user's breathing condition and generates a detection result. The result can reflect the breathing rhythm of the user, for example, the user is currently exhaling or inhaling, or the user is about to exhale or inhale. The spray adjustment module adjusts the timing or amount of spray generated by the atomization module 12 according to the detection result. It is preferable that the spray of the atomization module 12 can follow the user's breath under the control of the spray adjustment module. Generated or spurted by rhythm. For example, the atomization module 12 may be controlled by the spray adjustment module so that the user does not generate a spray when exhaling. The breathing detection module may include the aforementioned detection unit 31, and the spray adjustment module may include the aforementioned control unit 118 and driving unit 116. In addition, the spray adjustment module may further include other components of the atomization driving device 11.
承上所述，本發明藉由偵測輸入端的電壓或電流，據以判斷霧化器為市電供電或電池供電，並可根據對應的電力來源調整驅動模式，以兼顧高效能與電池長壽命的需求。在一些實施例中，藉由呼吸偵測單元偵測使用者的呼吸狀況，以使霧化器可隨著呼吸節奏調整供藥而不致造成藥液浪費。As mentioned above, the present invention judges whether the atomizer is powered by the mains or battery by detecting the voltage or current at the input terminal, and the driving mode can be adjusted according to the corresponding power source, so as to take into account the high performance and long battery life. demand. In some embodiments, the breathing condition of the user is detected by the breathing detecting unit, so that the nebulizer can adjust the medicine supply according to the breathing rhythm without causing waste of medicine liquid.
以上所述僅為舉例性，而非為限制性者。任何未脫離本發明之精神與範疇，而對其進行之等效修改或變更，均應包含於後附之申請專利範圍中。The above description is exemplary only, and not restrictive.
