Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of non-invasive ventilator technology, specifically to a method for controlling oxygen concentration in a non-invasive ventilator, an oxygen concentration control system, and related equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, non-invasive ventilators generally use feedback control methods for oxygen concentration control. Traditional non-invasive ventilators use only a simple airway connection between the turbine and the airway. Although pressure control is easy to achieve, oxygen concentration control is slow, resulting in a problem of oxygen concentration control lag. This leads to an excessively long transition time to reach the oxygen concentration required by the patient, affecting the treatment effect.

[0003] Furthermore, the oxygen ratio control algorithm commonly employs a fixed-parameter PID algorithm, where the proportional gain (P), integral gain (I), and derivative gain (D) are all constants. This prevents feedforward control, adaptive control, and timely adjustment of oxygen concentration errors.

[0004] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, there is an urgent need to provide a method for controlling oxygen concentration in a non-invasive ventilator, an oxygen concentration control system, and related equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0013] An oxygen proportional valve regulates the oxygen flow rate according to the oxygen flow control quantity.

[0014] Thirdly, the present invention provides a processor module for executing a non-invasive ventilator oxygen concentration control method.

[0015] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a program, wherein when the computer executes the program, the non-invasive ventilator oxygen concentration control method is executed.
