Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an automatic pressure regulating negative pressure suction device with automatic humidification function. Background Technology

[0002] A negative pressure suction device is a tool that creates a negative pressure state at its suction head, forcing material outside the suction head towards it, thus achieving the "suction" effect. Negative pressure suction devices are commonly used in endotracheal suctioning, a primary and crucial measure in the airway management of mechanically ventilated patients. Its purpose is to maintain airway patency, prevent partial or complete airway obstruction, and play a vital role in controlling respiratory infections. Negative pressure is the driving force for suctioning; different negative pressures have varying effects on the hemodynamics of mechanically ventilated patients. Furthermore, the duration of suctioning, the volume of sputum, and the viscosity of the sputum all influence the pressure. Setting a safe and effective negative pressure for suctioning based on the patient's specific condition not only achieves better suction results and maintains the effectiveness of mechanical ventilation but also reduces various complications.

[0003] With the increasing popularity of negative pressure suction devices, in addition to routine sputum suction, they can also be used for suctioning blood, bile, etc. for patients during and after surgery. Postoperative suction can also be used to maintain unobstructed drainage and promote surgical wound healing. However, the negative pressure suction devices currently used in clinical practice cannot automatically adjust the pressure value for different operations and still require manual adjustment, which is inconvenient. In addition, it is difficult to humidify excessively thick sputum that is difficult to suction, resulting in poor suction effect. Therefore, we propose a more practical automatic pressure-adjusting negative pressure suction device with automatic humidification function. Summary of the Invention

[0083] The humidification key 315 is located on the right side of the switch 32.

[0084] Working principle: For this type of automatic pressure regulating negative pressure suction device with automatic humidification function, first connect the endotracheal tube 1 to the closed suction tube 2. The accessories assembled at the front end of the closed suction tube control valve 203 are all disposable. First, place the endotracheal tube 1 at the position where suction is needed, so that the ventilator connection tube 201 is connected to the ventilator. The quantitative injector 5 is sleeved on the outside of the Murphy drip 4, so that the Murphy drip 4 is guided into the quantitative injector 5 through the slide 18. Under normal power supply, the pressure sensor 23 can detect the pressure of the space above the pressure regulating cylinder 13 and transmit the data to the controller 29. The controller 29 transmits the data to the display screen 27 for display. Then, press the power switch 32 on the control panel 16 to start the entire device. The control panel 16 has a built-in battery, which can meet the automatic pressure regulation operation for a short time when the power is off. Press any tissue key 311, bile key 312, sputum key 313, blood key 314, or humidification key 315 in the function selection key 31 to select the suction function.

[0085] Assuming sputum suction is required, pressing the sputum button 313 activates the internal data of the controller 29, adjusting the pressure above the pressure regulating cylinder 13 to the maximum pressure required for sputum suction. The controller 29 then starts the servo motor 25, which drives the screw 26 to rotate. The screw 26 and the threaded seat 24 engage in a threaded action, causing the screw 26 to rotate downwards or upwards, moving the pressure regulating plug 14 up and down to adjust the internal pressure of the pressure regulating cylinder 13 to the set value. Then, by pressing the pressure adjustment button 28, fine adjustments can be made within the sputum suction pressure range, achieving electric adjustment. In the event of a power outage, a negative pressure center gauge can be connected externally via the connecting pipe 2 15 for manual adjustment.

[0086] When the concentration sensor 202 detects that the sputum concentration is too thick, the automatic humidification function is activated. If the automatic humidification function is not sensitive, manual humidification can be performed by pressing the humidification button 315. The controller 29 controls the micro air pump 20 to start. The micro air pump 20 delivers gas into the air bag 22 through the air inlet pipe 21, causing the air bag 22 to inflate. The air bag 22 compresses the Murphy drip tube 4, squeezing the humidification liquid inside the Murphy drip tube 4. The humidification liquid flows along the humidification tube 3 and the humidification tube 17 into the closed suction tube 2, diluting the sputum so that it can be suctioned. At the same time, the volume sensor 19 can detect the amount of humidification liquid inside the Murphy drip tube 4. Initially, the control can be set by adjusting the installation height of the volume sensor 19 relative to the slide 18. The injection volume is set to a fixed value (5ml or 10ml). After injection, the air bag 22 retracts to its original shape, and at the same time, the infusion bag 7 replenishes fluid into the Murphy drip tube 4 through the injection tube 6. When the pressure regulating cylinder 13 reaches the appropriate suction pressure, the pressure regulating cylinder 13, through the negative pressure tube 11 and the connecting tube 12, puts the collection bottle 10 in the negative pressure state. The closed suction tube control valve 203 is opened, so that the end of the endotracheal tube 1 has negative pressure suction. The sputum is sucked into the endotracheal tube 1, and enters the collection bottle 10 through the closed suction tube 2 and the suction tube 8. After suction is completed, the reset button 30 is pressed to reset the data of each link to the original position. This completes the use of the automatic pressure regulating negative pressure suction device with automatic humidification function.

[0087] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
