  • Publication number: 20210052833
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a mouthpiece of a nebulizer, comprising an aerosol inflow port, and an aerosol outflow port; wherein an aerosol passage is formed between the aerosol inflow port and the aerosol outflow port, such that in a normal spraying state, the aerosol enters the aerosol passage from the aerosol inflow port and is discharged from the aerosol outflow port; and at least one temporary liquid reservoir is provided inside the mouthpiece, such that when condensation of the aerosol reversely flows back towards the aerosol inflow port, at least part of the condensation of the aerosol flows back into the temporary liquid reservoir. Besides, the present disclosure further discloses a portable nebulizer adopting the mouthpiece. The present disclosure provides an advantage of causing the nebulizer to produce a better anti-backflow effect.

  • Publication number: 20210016019
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an aerosol inflow port, and an aerosol outflow port; wherein an aerosol passage is formed between the aerosol inflow port and the aerosol outflow port, such that in a normal spraying state, the aerosol enters the aerosol passage from the aerosol inflow port and is discharged from the aerosol outflow port, and an outflow stopper is provided on a bottom wall inner surface of the mouthpiece, and condensation of the aerosol is stopped by the outflow stopper when flowing towards the aerosol outflow port. Besides, the present disclosure further discloses a portable nebulizer adopting the mouthpiece. The present disclosure provides an advantage of effectively mitigating direct flow of the condensed aerosol into the mouth.

  • Patent number: 10799652
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a portable nebulizer comprising a housing, a mouthpiece, a reservoir, a disk having multiple pores, and a unit that is configured to cause the disk to vibrate, wherein the vibration of the disk creates a pressure differential that causes a fluid from the reservoir to move through the disk to create an aerosol for delivery. In one embodiment, the mouthpiece may be held in place with at least one metal plate imbedded in the mouthpiece and at least one magnet imbedded in the housing. In one embodiment, the reservoir may have a non-cylindrical shape. In one embodiment, the nebulizer may comprise a battery and a USB port for charging the battery.
