一种雾化模块、雾化器及其雾化方法An atomization module, atomizer and atomization method thereof

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及医疗器械技术领域,尤其涉及一种雾化模块、雾化器及其雾化方法。The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an atomization module, an atomizer and an atomization method thereof.

背景技术Background technique

雾化器用于将吸入液体制剂转换为可供患者吸入的水雾实现直接对肺部给药的目的。雾化器自身的雾化性能和用户对雾化器的使用技巧影响其药物递送效果。射流雾化器是国内医院最常见的雾化装置,具有使用简单、适用药物品种广、雾化剂量高、可同时雾化多种药物的优点。但对应地也具有雾化时间长、药物利用率低、雾化效果波动较大、依赖气源或电源、使用时需保持雾化杯垂直等缺点。因此近年来很多新型雾化装置在雾化速率、药物利用率和便携性等方面做了大量的优化尝试。Nebulizers are used to convert inhaled liquid preparations into water mist that can be inhaled by patients to achieve the purpose of direct lung administration. The atomization performance of the nebulizer itself and the user's skill in using the nebulizer affect its drug delivery effect. Jet nebulizer is the most common atomizing device in domestic hospitals, which has the advantages of simple use, wide variety of applicable drugs, high atomized dose, and can atomize multiple drugs at the same time. However, correspondingly, it also has disadvantages such as long atomization time, low drug utilization rate, large fluctuations in atomization effect, dependence on air source or power supply, and the need to keep the atomization cup vertical when in use. Therefore, many new atomization devices have made a lot of optimization attempts in terms of atomization rate, drug utilization and portability in recent years.

专利《Atomising Nozzle and Filter and Spray Generation Device》(US005472143)公开了一种雾化装置和雾化机制,通过压迫药物溶液通过微喷嘴形成具有特定交叉角度的两股微液柱后,通过微液柱在空气中的碰撞将药物溶液转换为供吸入的微细水雾。与传统气雾剂相比,输出水雾的喷射速度更慢,药物在口喉部的残留量更少,同时对患者的手口协调性要求更低,可显著提升药物在肺部的沉降比例。该装置的雾化效果由微液柱的直径和碰撞角度决定,对喷嘴内部微通道的形态和精度要求极高,因此工艺难度大、加工成本高。同时该装置每喷仅可雾化10-15μL的药物溶液,仅适用于需要小剂量给药的药物品种。The patent "Atomising Nozzle and Filter and Spray Generation Device" (US005472143) discloses an atomization device and an atomization mechanism. After forming two micro-liquid columns with a specific crossing angle by pressing the drug solution through the micro-nozzle, the micro-liquid column passes through the micro-liquid column The collisions in the air convert the drug solution into a fine mist for inhalation. Compared with traditional aerosols, the spray speed of the output water mist is slower, and the residual amount of drugs in the mouth and throat is less. At the same time, it requires less hand-mouth coordination of patients, which can significantly increase the sedimentation ratio of drugs in the lungs. The atomization effect of this device is determined by the diameter and collision angle of the micro-liquid column, and the shape and precision of the micro-channel inside the nozzle are extremely required, so the process is difficult and the processing cost is high. At the same time, each spray of the device can only atomize 10-15 μL of drug solution, which is only suitable for drug varieties that need to be administered in small doses.

专利《Aerosol and a Method and Apparatus for Generating an Aerosol》(US5743251)公开了一种雾化装置和雾化机制,使药物溶液流经加热毛细管,溶液在毛细管内即受热完全汽化,药物溶液转换为气态后体积变化导致的压力上升使蒸发气体加速喷出,喷出后蒸汽预冷快速凝结生成供吸入的微细水雾。与现有雾化机制相比,具有输出水雾的微细粒子比例极高,雾化输出不依赖患者操作,可雾化药物剂量大,不依赖抛射剂或压缩空气等优点。但该雾化机制输出水雾主要由1μm以下液滴构成,当前吸入理论一般认为2-5μm是理想的吸入给药粒径,2μm以下的微粒可能随患者呼气被呼出,给药效果可能受影响。进一步的,专利《Effective Delivery of Nanoparticles and Micrometer-sizedPharmaceutical Aerosols to the Lung Through Enhanced Condensational growth》(US 8479728)公开了一种新的雾化吸入装置,药物溶液经加热毛细管蒸发喷出含药气雾后,与另外一路蒸汽混合后再由患者吸入。蒸汽水雾提供湿度更高的吸入气流,使含药气雾的所含<1μm的微粒在吸入过程中可冷凝增长至2μm以上,提升药物在肺部的沉降比例。但该结构的构成更为复杂,新增的蒸汽加湿通路需更多的空间,因此更适合在病房内的住院患者使用。同时雾化时间较慢,且需连续吸入高湿度空气,可能对呼吸道患者带来额外的痰液负担。The patent "Aerosol and a Method and Apparatus for Generating an Aerosol" (US5743251) discloses an atomization device and an atomization mechanism, so that the drug solution flows through the heating capillary, and the solution is heated and completely vaporized in the capillary, and the drug solution is converted into a gaseous state The pressure increase caused by the volume change after the injection accelerates the ejection of the evaporated gas, and after the ejection, the steam is pre-cooled and quickly condenses to form a fine water mist for inhalation. Compared with the existing atomization mechanism, it has a very high proportion of fine particles in the output water mist, the atomization output does not depend on the operation of the patient, the dose of nebulized medicine is large, and it does not rely on propellants or compressed air. However, the water mist output by this atomization mechanism is mainly composed of droplets below 1 μm. The current inhalation theory generally believes that 2-5 μm is the ideal particle size for inhalation and administration. Particles below 2 μm may be exhaled with the patient’s exhalation, and the drug delivery effect may be affected. Influence. Further, the patent "Effective Delivery of Nanoparticles and Micrometer-sizedPharmaceutical Aerosols to the Lung Through Enhanced Condensational growth" (US 8479728) discloses a new nebulization inhalation device. , mixed with another stream of steam and then inhaled by the patient. The steam water mist provides an inhaled airflow with higher humidity, so that the particles <1 μm contained in the drug-containing aerosol can condense and grow to more than 2 μm during the inhalation process, increasing the sedimentation ratio of the drug in the lungs. However, the composition of the structure is more complicated, and the newly added steam humidification channel requires more space, so it is more suitable for inpatients in the ward. At the same time, the nebulization time is slow, and high-humidity air needs to be inhaled continuously, which may bring additional sputum burden to respiratory patients.

可以看到,虽然现有技术的雾化装置在获得2-5微米雾化效果的同时提升了给药效率,但依然存在雾化装置结构复杂、成本高、使用不便等的缺陷。It can be seen that although the atomization device in the prior art improves the drug delivery efficiency while obtaining the atomization effect of 2-5 microns, there are still defects such as complex structure, high cost, and inconvenient use of the atomization device.

与现有技术相比,本发明的有益效果:Compared with prior art, the beneficial effect of the present invention:

本发明提供的雾化模块包括耐压溶液腔、压力组件、加热组件和密封喷嘴,本发明通过压力组件和加热组件对耐压溶液腔内的待雾化液体进行加压和加热,使待雾化液体温度超过标准大气压下沸点(以下简称“过热状态”)后仍处于液态,当待雾化液体持续加压至超过喷雾片上盲孔承压范围后,盲孔发生形变破裂,待雾化液体经过连续缩窄的过渡段和盲孔破裂开口后向外射出形成连续微液柱,过热状态下的微液柱由于环境压力显著降低触发“闪蒸”现象,在极短的时间内剧烈沸腾,沸腾气泡生成导致的体积变化以及气泡膜裂产生的瞬时剪切力使微液柱表面发生剧烈波动,进而分散破裂形成适宜吸入式给药的微液滴。本发明采用了与现有技术不同的雾化机制,利用本发明提供的雾化模块进行雾化,不同剂量下喷雾质量特征稳定,输出液滴的质量空气动力学中位粒径始终分布在2-5μm范围内,可实现大剂量雾化给药。The atomization module provided by the present invention includes a pressure-resistant solution chamber, a pressure assembly, a heating assembly and a sealed nozzle. The present invention pressurizes and heats the liquid to be atomized in the pressure-resistant solution chamber through the pressure assembly and the heating assembly, so that the liquid to be atomized After the temperature of the atomized liquid exceeds the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure (hereinafter referred to as "superheated state"), it is still in a liquid state. When the liquid to be atomized is continuously pressurized to exceed the pressure range of the blind hole on the spray sheet, the blind hole is deformed and ruptured, and the liquid to be atomized After passing through the continuously narrowed transition section and the rupture opening of the blind hole, it shoots out to form a continuous micro-liquid column. The micro-liquid column in the overheated state triggers the "flash" phenomenon due to the significant drop in ambient pressure, and boils violently in a very short time. The volume change caused by the generation of boiling bubbles and the instantaneous shear force generated by the rupture of the bubble film make the surface of the micro-liquid column fluctuate violently, and then disperse and rupture to form micro-droplets suitable for inhalation administration. The present invention adopts an atomization mechanism different from that of the prior art. The atomization module provided by the present invention is used for atomization. The spray quality characteristics are stable under different doses, and the mass aerodynamic median particle size of the output droplets is always distributed within 2 In the range of -5μm, large doses of nebulized drug delivery can be realized.

与传统射流雾化器相比,本发明所述雾化模块的雾化速率更快,可改善患者依从性,溶液残留量更少药物利用率更高,使用时不需要将雾化器保持在特定姿态。与气雾剂相比,喷雾输出不依赖抛射剂,对环境友好,不存在因环保要求需调整药物处方的风险。与新型雾化装置相比,每喷可雾化溶液的容量范围大,根据需要即可递送微剂量药物也可递送大剂量药物,适用范围更广。Compared with the traditional jet nebulizer, the nebulization module of the present invention has a faster nebulization rate, which can improve patient compliance, has less residual solution and higher drug utilization, and does not need to keep the nebulizer at specific posture. Compared with the aerosol, the spray output does not depend on the propellant, which is friendly to the environment, and there is no risk of adjusting the drug prescription due to environmental protection requirements. Compared with the new atomization device, each spray can have a large volume range of nebulizable solution, and can deliver both micro-dose and large-dose medicaments according to needs, and has a wider application range.

同时本发明所采用的喷嘴部件结构简单,不依赖高精度的微米级特征或结构来实现雾化效果,工艺难度和加工成本低,更便于控制最终药品的价格。At the same time, the structure of the nozzle part used in the present invention is simple, does not rely on high-precision micron-level features or structures to achieve the atomization effect, the process difficulty and processing cost are low, and it is easier to control the price of the final drug.

In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the capacity of the pressure-resistant solution chamber 11 is between 0.03-0.2 mL, preferably between 0.05-0.1 mL; in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the The capacity of the pressure-resistant solution chamber 11 is adjustable.

本发明所述密封喷嘴12包括过渡段121和喷雾片122,,喷雾片上设置有对内封闭的盲孔1221,所述过渡段121、盲孔1221和出液口111联通;所述盲孔1221超过承压后由内向外打开,待雾化液体自盲孔1221处喷出;所述耐压溶液腔11、过渡段121和盲孔1221的内径依次减小。密封喷嘴12与耐压溶液腔12配合使耐压溶液腔在一定压力范围内保持密闭,实现耐压溶液腔内的待雾化液体进行加压加热达到过热温度;盲孔1221是密封喷嘴12和耐压溶液腔12所形成的密闭空间中最薄弱的一处,因而待雾化液体的压力超过盲孔承压范围后,盲孔受压形变由内到外打开,待雾化液体自盲孔处喷出。由于待雾化液体喷出时的溶液冲破喷雾片上密封点后向外射出形成连续微液柱,此时过热液体由于环境压力恢复至标准大气压,对应沸点降至自身温度以下,触发闪蒸现象,在极短的时间内剧烈沸腾。沸腾气泡生成导致的体积变化和气泡膜裂产生的瞬时剪切力使微液柱表面发生剧烈波动,进而分散破裂生成供吸入的微液滴。The sealingnozzle 12 of the present invention includes atransition section 121 and aspray sheet 122, and the spray sheet is provided with an internally closedblind hole 1221, and thetransition section 121, theblind hole 1221 and theliquid outlet 111 are communicated; theblind hole 1221 After exceeding the pressure, it is opened from the inside to the outside, and the liquid to be atomized is sprayed out from theblind hole 1221; the inner diameters of the pressure-resistant solution chamber 11, thetransition section 121 and theblind hole 1221 are successively reduced. The sealingnozzle 12 cooperates with the pressure-resistant solution chamber 12 to keep the pressure-resistant solution chamber airtight within a certain pressure range, so that the liquid to be atomized in the pressure-resistant solution chamber is pressurized and heated to a superheated temperature; theblind hole 1221 is the sealingnozzle 12 and The weakest part of the closed space formed by the pressure-resistant solution chamber 12, so when the pressure of the atomized liquid exceeds the pressure range of the blind hole, the blind hole is deformed from the inside to the outside when the pressure of the atomized liquid is released from the blind hole. spray out. When the liquid to be atomized is sprayed out, the solution breaks through the sealing point on the spray sheet and shoots out to form a continuous micro-liquid column. At this time, the superheated liquid returns to the standard atmospheric pressure due to the ambient pressure, and the corresponding boiling point drops below its own temperature, triggering the flashing phenomenon. Boils vigorously in a very short time. The volume change caused by the generation of boiling bubbles and the instantaneous shear force generated by the rupture of the bubble film make the surface of the micro-liquid column fluctuate violently, and then disperse and rupture to form micro-droplets for inhalation.

除待雾化液体自身的表面张力和热力学参数的固有特征外,本发明所述雾化模块输出的水雾质量主要由待雾化液体的“过热度”、喷出微液柱的初始直径和单喷剂量决定。其中过热度是雾化粒径的主要决定因素,过热度为0时不存在闪蒸现象,液体呈连续微液柱装喷出而不形成水雾。过热度大于10℃时,喷出微液柱开始分散为微细水雾,随过热度的上升输出水雾的空气动力学粒径对应缩小。初始微液柱直径决定输出水雾粒径的均匀性,初始液柱直径约小,存在闪蒸现象时喷雾的扩散角度越大,对应输出水雾的微细粒子比例越高。初始微液柱直径大小主要取决于盲孔1221的直径大小,初始微液柱的直径约为盲孔1221的2-3倍。In addition to the inherent characteristics of the surface tension of the liquid to be atomized and the thermodynamic parameters, the quality of the water mist output by the atomization module of the present invention is mainly determined by the "superheat" of the liquid to be atomized, the initial diameter of the ejected micro-liquid column and The dosage of single spray is determined. Among them, the degree of superheat is the main determinant of the atomized particle size. When the degree of superheat is 0, there is no flash evaporation, and the liquid is sprayed out in a continuous micro-liquid column without forming water mist. When the degree of superheat is greater than 10°C, the sprayed micro-liquid column begins to disperse into fine water mist, and the aerodynamic particle size of the output water mist decreases correspondingly as the degree of superheat increases. The diameter of the initial micro-liquid column determines the uniformity of the particle size of the output water mist. The initial diameter of the liquid column is approximately small, and the larger the spray diffusion angle is when there is a flash phenomenon, the higher the proportion of fine particles corresponding to the output water mist. The diameter of the initial micro liquid column mainly depends on the diameter of theblind hole 1221 , and the diameter of the initial micro liquid column is about 2-3 times of theblind hole 1221 .

如图5所示,耐压溶液腔11、过渡段121和盲孔1221的内径依次减小,使得待雾化液体喷出前必须经过两次连续的缩窄压缩,起到提升局部压强,减少喷雾压力,减缓初始微液柱速度和控制喷雾持续时间的作用。在本发明的一些具体实施方式中,所述耐压溶液腔的内径D1为过渡段内径D2的2-3倍,优选为1.5倍。在本发明的一些具体实施方式中,所述盲孔内径为0.03-0.3mm,优选为0.05-0.15mm;过渡段内径D2优选为盲孔内径的1.5倍以上。在本发明中,所述盲孔的厚度D3通常薄于雾化模块的其他结构;在一些具体实施方式中,所述盲孔厚度可以0.005-0.02mm,优选为0.008-0.015mm。在本发明的一些具体实施方式中,所述盲孔1221可以由高分子材料制成,也可以是具有若干个高分子薄膜微孔的金属片。本发明所述的喷雾片或密封喷雾通常为一次性使用,形变后可打开禁锢件进行更换。As shown in Figure 5, the inner diameters of the pressure-resistant solution chamber 11, thetransition section 121, and theblind hole 1221 are successively reduced, so that the liquid to be atomized must undergo two consecutive narrowing and compressions before being sprayed out, so as to increase the local pressure and reduce the pressure.
