Abstract
A device that reduces human energy loss in the breathing process, without requiring external energy such as electricity. The device transfers motion, elastic or heat energy by conveying air volume and pressure between the exhaling and inhaling phases in the breathing process in order to adjust the air pressure or temperature in these phases so as to improve air perfusion or the body's thermal homeostatic conditions as required, in addition to reducing the air resistance in masks or respirators used for protection against contaminants. The invention pertains to the field of healthcare. The invention comprises inhalation and exhalation chambers that are associated with air pumps, besides having elastic energy accumulation walls to minimize air flow resistance.
Claims12
A device for transferring energy between exhaling and inhaling phases comprising:
- a rotary air pumps (1), exhaling chamber (8) and inhaling chamber (9) and one-way air valves (10) and (11) directly connected to a face mask (7), wherein the one-way air valves (10) and (11), connected independently to the air distribution chamber for exhaling (8) and to the air distribution chamber for inhaling (9), respectively;
- the exhaling (8) and inhaling (9) chambers are each connected through an air communication channel (2-A) to the rotary air pumps (1) containing a single rotary axis (3), connected simultaneously to the two pumps (1), which transfers the energy between the air pumps (1) and wherein said air pumps (1) are connected to the outside environment by way of an air outlet and inlet ducts (2-B).
