Abstract
Provided is a drug vaporization and inhalation device. The drug vaporization and inhalation device is configured such that when a user inhales a particulate drug, the drug is contained in vaporized steam, and therefore, the drug can sufficiently arrive at the lungs of the user, without loss, thereby preventing a given amount of the drug from remaining in an inhalation container and improving the drug inhalation efficiency of the user along with prevention of excessive inhalation of the drug.
Claims16
A drug vaporization and inhalation device comprising:
- a vaporization container having a first storage space for storing a vaporization promoting composition and a first guide path for discharging steam;
- an inducing material disposed under the vaporization container to be inserted into the first storage space, the inducing material comprising a porous member configured to draw, by capillary action, the vaporization promoting composition stored in the first storage space;
- a fine particle vaporizer heated when power is supplied thereto to vaporize the vaporization promoting composition induced by the inducing material;
- a body detachably coupled to top of the vaporization container and having a capsule accommodation portion formed on top thereof to accommodate a capsule in which a powdered drug for a user is sealedly stored and second guide paths for steam discharge formed in the body to pass through an interior of the body in an up and down direction of the body, communicate with the first guide path, and discharge the vaporized steam induced from the fine particle vaporizer to the capsule located inside the capsule accommodation portion;
- and
- a cap rotatably coupled to the top of the body and having a mixing space formed on the inner bottom thereof, an inhalation pipe for the user communicating with the mixing space, and blades protruding downward from the inner bottom thereof to incise the capsule placed in the capsule accommodation portion, so that the vaporized steam or the powdered drug discharged from the capsule and mixed with the vaporized steam guided by the second guide paths is configured to be inhaled by the user through the inhalation pipe,
- wherein the body, which is coupled to the top of the vaporization container, comprises rail grooves formed on top outer periphery thereof to guide the rotation of the cap and protrusion insertion slots formed on both ends of each rail groove.
