AIR PULSE GENERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024188 titled 'AIR PULSE GENERATOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an airway clearance therapy system that includes a blower and an air pulse generator. The air pulse generator consists of a casing, two pistons, a connector assembly, connecting rods, dampening pads, and a motor assembly. The connector assembly translates rotational motion from the motor assembly into linear motion of the pistons to generate air pulses. A dampener is also included to reduce vibrations between the motor assembly and the casing.
- The system includes a blower and an air pulse generator.
- The air pulse generator consists of a casing, two pistons, a connector assembly, connecting rods, dampening pads, and a motor assembly.
- The connector assembly translates rotational motion from the motor assembly into linear motion of the pistons to generate air pulses.
- Dampening pads are placed between the connector assembly and each piston to reduce vibrations.
- A dampener is included between the motor assembly and the casing to further reduce vibrations.
Potential Applications:
- Airway clearance therapy for individuals with respiratory conditions such as cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or bronchiectasis.
- Can be used in hospitals, clinics, or at home for respiratory therapy.
Problems Solved:
- Provides an effective method for airway clearance by generating air pulses.
- Reduces vibrations to enhance patient comfort and prevent damage to the system.
- Allows for precise control of air pulses for targeted therapy.
Benefits:
- Improves respiratory function by clearing mucus and secretions from the airways.
- Enhances patient comfort during airway clearance therapy.
- Provides a portable and convenient solution for airway clearance therapy at home or in healthcare facilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
an airway clearance therapy system includes a blower and an air pulse generator coupled to the blower. the air pulse generator includes a casing defining a chamber, first and second pistons disposed within the chamber, and a connector assembly coupled to the first and second pistons. a first connecting rod is coupled to the first piston, and a second connecting rod is coupled to the second piston. the air pulse generator also includes dampening pads disposed between the connector assembly and each of the first and second pistons. a motor assembly is operably coupled to the connector assembly. the connector assembly translates rotational motion from the motor assembly to linear motion of the first and second pistons to generate air pulses. a dampener is disposed between the motor assembly and the casing to reduce vibrations transferred between the motor assembly and the casing.
