Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a variable condensate collection device for ventilators. Background Technology

[0002] After a patient has an endotracheal tube inserted, a ventilator is used to supply oxygen. The ventilator is connected to the endotracheal tube through a tracheal tube. To ensure that the oxygen the patient breathes is warmed and humidified, a humidifier is added to the tubing to warm and humidify the inhaled air. However, the humidified water will condense in the tubing. The condensate will accumulate at the bends and low points of the trachea, causing tracheal obstruction and making it difficult for the patient to breathe. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a variable condensate collection device for ventilators.

[0004] The above objectives are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A variable condensate collection device for a ventilator includes a ventilator and a tubing, wherein multiple drain heads are fixed along the length of the bottom of the tubing, and one of the drain heads is threadedly connected to a water collection tank.

[0006] The drain head includes a sleeve, a sealing plate, and a plug rod. A baffle is fixed inside the sleeve, and a plug rod is fixed at the bottom of the sealing plate. The plug rod passes through the baffle and is fixed to the base plate. A spring is fitted on the plug rod.

[0007] The water tank includes a tank body and a top cover. The top cover is threadedly connected to the tank body. The top cover has a top sleeve, and a cross-shaped fixing bracket is fixed inside the top sleeve. A stop rod is fixed on the cross-shaped fixing bracket.

[0008] The variable condensate collection device for a ventilator has an arc-shaped upper surface of the sealing plate, and the arc is equal to the arc of the trachea.

[0009] The variable condensate collection device for a ventilator, wherein the baffle is a circular plate. Beneficial effects

[0010] 1. This utility model, by setting multiple drain heads, allows for the selection of appropriate drain heads to connect to the water collection tank based on the position of the lowest bend in the trachea when connecting the trachea to the tracheal tube, thereby preventing the accumulation of condensate and ensuring timely drainage to prevent clogging of the trachea filter.

[0011] 3. The drain head of this utility model, which is not connected to the water tank, is self-sealing and will not leak air. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Reference Figures 1-6 A variable condensate collection device for a ventilator, comprising: a ventilator 4 and a trachea 2, wherein a plurality of drain heads 1 are fixed along the length of the bottom of the trachea, and one of the drain heads is threadedly connected to a water collection tank 3.

[0020] When using it, connect the trachea to the tracheal tube, and select the drain head located at the lowest point of the bend in the trachea and thread it to the water tank according to the position of the bend.

[0021] The sleeve has an external thread, and the top sleeve of the water tank has an internal thread that matches the external thread of the sleeve, which can realize the connection and fixation between the drain head and the water tank.

[0022] The drain head includes a sleeve 15, a sealing plate 11, and a rod 12. A baffle 16 is fixed inside the sleeve. The baffle is a circular ring plate. The rod 12 is fixed at the bottom of the sealing plate. The upper surface of the sealing plate is arc-shaped and the arc is equal to the arc of the air pipe. The rod passes through the baffle and is fixed to the bottom plate 14. A spring 13 is sleeved on the rod.

[0023] The water tank includes a tank body 34 and a top cover 35. The top cover is threadedly connected to the tank body. The top cover has a top sleeve 32. A cross-shaped fixing bracket 33 is fixed inside the top sleeve. A stop rod 31 is fixed on the cross-shaped fixing bracket.

[0024] When the drain head is not connected to the water tank, the sealing plate is pressed against the step of the sleeve under the action of the spring. The upper surface of the sealing plate is arc-shaped and the curvature is equal to that of the air pipe, which can ensure the sealing of the air pipe and will not affect the flow of condensate.

[0025] When connecting the water tank and the drain head, the top sleeve is threaded onto the sleeve. During the threaded connection, the abutment rod will press against the base plate. Simultaneously, as the connection progresses, it pushes against the insertion rod, causing the sealing plate to disengage from the sleeve in a stepped manner, thus opening the drain head. After the connection is complete, when using the device, the condensate will flow to the drain head connected to the water tank. The condensate will then enter the sleeve and flow into the water tank body for collection.
