Elastic gaskets 25 are provided between the filter element 14 and the first annular protrusion 23 and between the filter element 14 and the locking member 24. Since after the filter element 14 is sleeved on the middle portion 16, the locking member 24 will be sleeved thereon and then the locking member 24 is tightened, by providing the elastic gaskets 25, it can prevent the filter element 14 from directly contacting the first annular protrusion 23 and the locking member 24 and being damaged during the locking process.

A second sealing ring 27 is provided between the rear end portion 17 and the gas pressure detection channel. The second sealing ring 27 is sleeved on the rear end portion 17, and there are two second sealing rings 27.

[0045] An inlet channel 37 and a floating plug that can float on the water surface are provided on the container 8. When the water level in the container 8 reaches a certain height, the floating plug will block the inlet channel 37. The inlet channel 37 is located inside the container 8. An inlet 53 is provided on the container 8. The inlet 53 is communicated with the inlet channel 37. The container 8 has a water level line during normal use. When the water level in the container 8 reaches the water level line, the floating plug will block the inlet channel 37. When the water level in the container 8 drops and the floating plug drops, water will enter through the inlet channel 37 to make the water in the container 8 reach the water level line during normal use, and the floating plug will block the inlet channel 37 again.

[0046] The gas humidifying device 2 includes an infrared water level detection device 38. The principle of the infrared water level detection device 38 is to judge the water level in the container 8 by detecting the infrared reflectivity at different height positions of the container 8. In this embodiment, the infrared water level detection device 38 judges the water level in the container 8 by detecting the infrared reflectivity of the position of the container 8 above the water level line and the position of the container 8 below the water level line of the container 8. Specifically, the infrared water level detection device 38 includes two infrared transmitter-receivers 39. Both of the two infrared transmitter-receivers 39 are communicatively connected to the processor. The infrared transmitter-receiver 39 is used to emit infrared to the container 8 and receive the infrared reflected by the container 8. One of the infrared transmitter-receivers 39 is located at a height position above the water level line of the container 8 and not higher than the highest point of the container 8, and is used to detect the position of the container 8 above the water level line of the container 8. The other infrared transmitter-receiver 39 is located at a height position below the water level line of the container 8 and not lower than the lowest point of the container 8, and is used to detect the position of the container 8 below the water level line of the container 8. The two infrared transmitter-receivers 39 will transmit the received infrared data to the processor, and the processor will then calculate and compare the infrared data received by the two infrared transmitter-receivers 39. The distance between the infrared emission points of the two infrared transmitter-receivers 39 is not greater than 3 cm. When the surface of the container 8 has been used for a long time, dust may adhere to it, and the amount of dust adhered to different positions of the container 8 is different. By setting the distance between the infrared emission points of the two infrared transmitter-receivers 39 to be not greater than 3 cm, the two detection points of the container 8 are relatively close, and the amount of dust is also relatively close, improving the detection accuracy.

[0047] Since the container 8 has a normal water level line, after the water in the container 8 reaches this water level line, the floating plug will block the water inlet passage 37, so the water will not reach above the water level line of the container 8. The infrared water level detection device 38 judges the water level in the container 8 by detecting the infrared reflectivity of the position of the container 8 above the water level line and the position of the container 8 below the water level line of the container 8. Let the infrared reflectivity of the position of the container 8 above the water level line of the container 8 detected by the infrared water level detection device 38 be a, and the infrared reflectivity of the position of the container 8 below the water level line of the container 8 detected by the infrared water level detection device 38 be b. a is equivalent to the infrared reflectivity when the container 8 has no water. If a and b are the same, the water level has not reached the detected position of the container 8, and the water volume in the container 8 is insufficient. If a and b are different, the water level has reached the detected position of the container 8, and the water volume in the container 8 is sufficient. The infrared water level detection device 38 further includes a warning module. The warning module is connected to the processor. When a and b are the same, the processor sends a signal to the warning module, and the warning module will issue a low water level warning.

[0048] The humidifying breathing treatment apparatus further includes a housing 9, on which an inwardly recessed mounting position 40 is provided for mounting a container 8. The mounting position 40 includes a bottom panel 41, a rear panel 42, a left side panel 43 and a right side panel 44. The rear panel 42, the left side panel 43 and the right side panel 44 are all arranged above the bottom panel 41. The left side panel 43 and the right side panel 44 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the rear panel 42. A gas interface 45 is provided on the housing 9. The heating device 7 is arranged on the bottom panel 41. The container 8 is provided with a gas input pipe 51 and a gas output pipe 52. After the container 8 is mounted to the mounting position 40, the rear panel 42, the left side panel 43 and the right side panel 44 surround the side of the container 8, and the bottom panel 41 and the heating device 7 are located below the container 8. The gas interface 45 is connected to the gas input pipe 51. The infrared water level detection device 38 is arranged on the rear panel 42 and is arranged at a height not exceeding half of the rear panel 42. A receiving space 46 for receiving a part of the container 8 is provided on the rear panel 42, and the infrared water level detection device 38 is arranged in the receiving space 46. With the above structure, the settings of the bottom panel 41, the rear panel 42, the left side panel 43 and the right side panel 44 have a light-shielding effect, which can prevent the infrared water level detection device 38 from being affected by external light during the detection process, making the detection of the infrared water level detection device 38 more accurate. In addition, the setting of the receiving space 46 can further reduce the influence of external light on the detection and improve the detection accuracy of the infrared water level detection device 38. After the container 8 is mounted to the mounting position 40, a part of the container 8 will enter the receiving space 46, and the receiving space 46 can block the upward movement of the container 8, further improving the mounting stability of the container 8.

[0049] A limit button 3 is provided on the installation position 40. The limit button 3 is arranged on the outer side of the bottom panel 41. The limit button 3 is used to prevent the container 8 from moving horizontally outward from the installation position 40. The side surface of the container 8 is similar to the side surface of a frustum of a cone, so the side of the container 8 close to the limit button 3 is arranged in an arc shape, and the side of the limit button 3 close to the container 8 is also arranged in an arc shape. The radian of the side of the container 8 close to the limit button 3 is the same as the radian of the side of the limit button 3 close to the container 8, so that the contact surface when the limit button 3 touches the container 8 is more fitting. The limit button 3 is a self-locking switch button structure. By providing the limit button 3 with a self-locking switch button structure, when the limit button 3 is not pressed, the limit button 3 blocks the container 8 from moving horizontally outward from the installation position 40, which can prevent the container 8 from slipping off the installation position 40 when the instrument is moved. When the container 8 needs to be taken out, when the limit button 3 is pressed, the limit button 3 is locked, and the limit button 3 does not block the container 8 from moving horizontally outward from the installation position 40. At this time, the container 8 can be taken out. After the container 8 is installed back to the installation position 40, the limit button 3 is pressed again, and the limit button 3 is reset. A groove for accommodating the limit button 3 is provided on the installation position 40. The limit button 3 includes a left side plate 47 and a right side plate 48. The left side plate 47 and the right side plate 48 of the limit button 3 are arranged in an outwardly convex V shape. The shape of the groove matches the shape of the limit button 3. The V-shaped angle of the left side plate 47 and the right side plate 48 is greater than 90°. The left side plate 47 and the right side plate 48 are symmetrically arranged. The left side plate 47 includes a first panel 49 and a second panel 50. The first panel 49 and the second panel 50 form the V shape of the left side plate 47. The first panel 49 is located on the side close to the container 8, and the second panel 50 is located on the side far from the container 8. The length of the first panel 49 is less than the length of the second panel 50. With the above structure, the cooperation between the limit button 3 and the groove is more stable. The side of the limit button 3 far from the container 8 is arranged in an arc shape. The radian of the side of the limit button 3 far from the container 8 is less than the radian of the side of the limit button 3 close to the container 8. The length of the side of the limit button 3 far from the container 8 is greater than the length of the side of the limit button 3 close to the container 8. The length of the limit button 3 is greater than the length of the container 8. With the above structure, the limit button 3 can be better stressed when blocking the container 8, and the container 8 can be more effectively prevented from slipping.

[0050] The gas interface 45 is located on the back panel 42. The gas input pipeline 51 is arranged in an L shape. A gas inlet is provided on the gas input pipeline 51. After the container 8 is installed on the installation position 40, the gas inlet is inserted into the gas interface 45. The above structure can prevent the container 8 from moving upward, so that the installation of the container 8 is more stable.

[0051] The distance between the left panel 43 and the right panel 44 is greater than the length of the container 8. With the above structure, there are gaps between both the left panel 43 and the right panel 44 and the container 8. When disassembling and assembling the container 8, people's hands can reach into the gaps on both sides of the container 8, making the disassembly and assembly more convenient.

[0052] The heating pipe is connected to the gas output pipe 52 of the container 8. Temperature sensors are provided at both ends of the heating pipe, and a heating wire is arranged on the heating pipe. The heating wire is arranged in a spiral shape.

[0053] Working principle of the respiratory humidification treatment instrument of the present invention: High-pressure oxygen enters from the oxygen inlet element 13. The high-pressure oxygen passes through the oxygen inlet element 13. On the one hand, it flows out from the first air outlet 20, enters the first-stage filtration and decompression after passing through the filter element 14 and then enters the first space 10, and then flows from the first space 10 to the second space 11. On the other hand, it enters the oxygen pressure detection channel 21 from the second air outlet 22. After passing through the oxygen pressure detection channel 21, the high-pressure oxygen reaches the oxygen pressure detection device, and the oxygen pressure detection can detect the pressure value of the high-pressure oxygen. During the process of the high-pressure oxygen flowing from the first space 10 to the second space 11, it will first pass through the proportional valve 12. The proportional valve 12 is used to control the flow rate of the high-pressure oxygen. After the high-pressure oxygen reaches the second space 11, since the filter 31 is provided in the second space 11, the filter 31 plays a role in secondary filtration and decompression of the high-pressure oxygen. The high-pressure oxygen after passing through the filter 31 reaches the three-channel structure and finally enters the gas mixing chamber 6. Since the stirring device in the gas mixing chamber 6 is constantly rotating, due to the action of air pressure, air is inhaled from the air passage. The air first enters from the air inlet 32. The air passing through the air inlet 32 enters the third space 33. The temperature and humidity sensor 35 in the third space 33 can detect the temperature and humidity of the air. The air then enters the fourth space 34 from the third space 33. After passing through the fourth space 34, the air reaches the tee pipe structure and finally enters the gas mixing chamber 6. The high-pressure oxygen and air are mixed under the action of the stirring device, and the mixed gas is transported to the outlet pipe. The flow sensor and oxygen concentration sensor on the outlet pipe are used to detect the flow rate and oxygen concentration of the mixed gas. The flow sensor and oxygen concentration sensor feedback the detected data to the processor, and the processor then adjusts the proportional valve 12 according to the detection data of the flow sensor and oxygen concentration sensor, so that the flow rate and oxygen concentration of the gas after mixing oxygen and air are more stable. The mixed gas enters the gas humidifying device 2 from the outlet pipe for humidification, and the humidified mixed gas enters the heating pipe. The heating pipe heats the mixed gas to a suitable temperature and then outputs it.The infrared emitter-receiver 39 at a height position above the water level line of the container 8 emits infrared rays towards the container 8. After the container 8 reflects the infrared rays, the infrared emitter-receiver 39 receives the infrared reflected rays of the container 8. Since a floating plug is arranged inside the container 8, the water in the container 8 will not reach above the water level line. Therefore, it is equivalent to obtaining the infrared reflectivity when there is no water in the container 8. The infrared emitter-receiver 39 at a height position below the water level line of the container 8 emits infrared rays towards the container 8. After the container 8 reflects the infrared rays, the infrared emitter-receiver 39 receives the infrared reflected rays of the container 8, and the infrared reflectivity at this height position of the container 8 is obtained. If the infrared reflectivity at this height position is the same as the infrared reflectivity when there is no water in the container 8, it proves that the water level of the container 8 has not reached this height position. At this time, a low water level warning will be issued, and water needs to be replenished to the container 8. If the infrared reflectivity at this height position is different from the infrared reflectivity when there is no water in the container 8, it proves that the water level of the container 8 has reached this height position, and the water volume in the container 8 is sufficient.
