Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a medicine injection structure of an artificial respirator which contains medicine in air treated by the artificial respirator by installing on a hose path connecting the artificial respirator and a mask of a patient and thereby provides the medicine to the patient. BACKGROUND

[0002] Generally, a patient who has difficulty in autonomous respiration needs to rely on an artificial respirator for respiration. In addition, a medicine prescription can be given according to a doctor's judgment, and the medicine can be contained in air treated by the artificial respirator and thereby provided to the patient. Different medicines can be used according to the patient's physical state, for example, a medicine that helps lung function can be used when the lung function is poor.

[0003] Currently, in order to inject medicine, a T-tube is configured on a pipe connected from the artificial respirator to the mask or mouthpiece, and after a medicine cartridge is installed on one side inlet of the T-tube, medicine is injected into the medicine cartridge. In addition, a cover is covered on the open part of the medicine cartridge in order to prevent contamination.

[0004] A medicine vaporization device is equipped in the T-tube, so that the patient is provided with the medicine contained in the treated air after the medicine is vaporized by the medicine vaporization device.

[0005] However, the prior art as described above has problems of contamination, labor, and cost. Specifically, the period of medicine injection can vary according to the doctor's prescription, but generally, it can be performed 2 to 4 times a day, but each time the cover needs to be opened and closed, and in the process as described above, the exposure time of the medicine cartridge is inevitably increased and the possibility of contamination is increased and it is also troublesome to open and close the cover, and because of the high possibility of contamination, the replacement period of the pipe material including the T-tube is shortened, resulting in the problem of increased cost.

[0006] In addition, the artificial respirator can purify and heat the air to a temperature similar to the body temperature and provide the treated air maintaining an appropriate pressure to the patient. However, the temperature of the treated air as described above can change during movement along the pipe material, resulting in the problem that the air supplied from the patient's respirator is low in temperature.

[0048] Next, a detailed description will be given of a medicine injection structure of an artificial respirator according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 4 A detailed description will be given of a medicine injection structure of an artificial respirator according to an embodiment of the present application. Figures 1 to 3 is a schematic view for explaining a cap in the medicine injection structure of the artificial respirator according to the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 illustrates an external appearance, Figure 2 is an exploded sectional view for separately illustrating constituent elements, and Figure 3 is a sectional view for illustrating constituent elements in an assembled state. Figure 4 is a schematic view for explaining a cap in the medicine injection structure of the artificial respirator according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0049] The medicine injection structure of the artificial respirator according to the embodiment of the present application can include a T-tube 10, a cap 20, and a filler stopper 30.

[0050] The T-tube 10 is as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The tube body is connected from an inlet port 11 to an outlet port 12, and a branch tube 13 is formed at one side of the tube body.

[0051] The cap 20 is as shown in Figure 2 A first tube body 22 is formed at a lower portion of a flange 21, and a second tube body 23 is formed inside the first tube body 22 in such a manner as to penetrate the flange 21. A male screw 24 is formed at an outer circumferential surface of the second tube body 23.

[0052] The first tube body 22 is as shown in Figure 3 The first tube body 22 is fitted into the branch tube 13.

[0053] The filler stopper 30 is formed with a third tube body 32 at the center of a main body 31 in such a manner as to be fitted inside the second tube body 23. A fourth tube body 33 is formed at an outer side of the third tube body 32, and a female screw 34 is formed at the fourth tube body 33. The female screw 34 is as shown in Figure 3 The female screw 34 is fastened into the male screw 24.

[0054] In addition, a bag 35 can be formed inside the main body 31, and a filler 36 can be filled in the bag 35 at a high density.

[0055] The filler 36 has a stretchability. In particular, the filler 36 can be formed of a flexible rubber, whereby the filler 36 can be penetrated by a needle when the needle is inserted, and the portion penetrated by the needle can be immediately closed by the stretchability of the filler 36 itself when the needle is withdrawn.

[0056] By inserting the needle into the filler 36 and passing it through the third tube body 32, a medicine can be injected into the inside of the T-tube 10 using a syringe.

[0057] The medicine injection structure of the artificial respirator according to the embodiment of the present application, which is constructed as described above, can inject a medicine into the T-tube 10 in a state where the needle is inserted into the filler 36, and can block the space through which the needle passes and thereby prevent the inside of the T-tube 10 from being exposed when the needle is pulled out of the filler.

[0058] Accordingly, the medicine injection structure of the artificial respirator according to the embodiment of the present application can minimize or completely prevent the exposure of the inside of the T-tube 10, which functions as a cartridge, and thereby prevent the cartridge from being contaminated. Further, it can ensure that the patient lives in a more strictly clean environment.

[0059] In addition, by preventing the exposure of the inside of the T-tube 10, it can strictly prevent the entire tube section, which connects the artificial respirator to the mask or the mouthpiece, from being exposed to the outside.

[0060] In addition, the first tube body 22 can be constructed in a tapered shape with a narrower lower side, as shown in Figure 4 Further, it can be made of an elastic material, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in

[0061] Since the first tube body 22 is constructed in a tapered shape, it can be easily assembled in the initial stage of insertion into the branch tube 13 due to a large difference in diameter, and the assembly can be gradually completed firmly as the assembly proceeds.

[0062] In addition, since the first tube body 22 has an elastic property, it can be closely attached to the entire inner circumferential surface of the branch tube 13 and thereby completely prevent foreign substances from flowing into the inside of the T-tube 10 from the outside.

[0063] Meanwhile, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 An external power source can be received by providing a power connector 14 at one side of the T-tube 10.

[0064] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 An electric heating wire 15 can be provided inside the T-tube 10, and the electric heating wire 15 can be heated by being connected to the external power source and heat the processed air described above using the heat generated thereby.

[0065] According to the drug injection structure of the artificial respirator according to the embodiment of the present application, even if the temperature of the treated air supplied to the patient is low, the treated air can be heated again, thereby ensuring that the patient can always breathe the air treated to an appropriate temperature.

[0066] The embodiments of the present application described above are explained with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application pertains that the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical idea or essential characteristics thereof.

[0067] Therefore, the embodiments described in the above are merely exemplary and not limiting in all aspects, the scope of the present application should be defined by the appended claims, and the meaning and scope of the claims and all modifications or variations derived from the equivalent concepts thereof should be interpreted as included in the scope of the present application.
