Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ventilators, and in particular relates to a carbon dioxide ventilator. Background Art

[0002] In the field of respiratory therapy and assisted sleep, ventilation therapy is currently generally performed by using compressed air from a fan. With the development of medical technology, ventilators have been widely used in the treatment of a variety of diseases such as sleep apnea syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and altitude sickness. In special cases, an oxygen concentrator is usually connected to the breathing tube or mask to increase the oxygen concentration and achieve the purpose of auxiliary treatment. In the prior art, ventilators mainly adjust ventilation parameters by monitoring blood oxygen saturation. However, this single monitoring method has obvious limitations. Studies have shown that even patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with normal blood oxygen saturation at rest during the day may experience hypoxemia at night, and this is more significant during the acute exacerbation period. In this case, relying solely on monitoring blood oxygen saturation cannot detect potential respiratory function abnormalities in a timely manner. Especially in plateau environments, human exposure to a low oxygen environment can lead to a rapid increase in ventilation. As ventilation increases, excessive discharge of carbon dioxide in the body forms hypocarbia, which in turn causes respiratory alkalosis. This pathological change inhibits the initial enhanced ventilation response and affects the human body's adaptation process to the plateau environment. Existing ventilators lack an effective regulatory mechanism for this complex physiological process. In addition, in patients with sleep apnea syndrome, especially those with central sleep apnea associated with heart failure, frequent episodes of apnea occur due to reduced levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. This not only causes intermittent hypoxia, but also further damages heart function and increases the risk of death. Although existing technologies can improve symptoms by providing continuous positive airway pressure ventilation, they cannot fundamentally solve the problem of regulating respiratory rhythm.

[0003] The main technical problem at present is that the ventilator lacks the ability to accurately regulate the partial pressure of carbon dioxide, which may lead to complications such as carbon dioxide retention or insufficiency during long-term mechanical ventilation.

This multi-layer filtration structure not only ensures the cleanliness of the intake air, but also reduces noise through the sound absorption characteristics of the material. The second fan B adopts a centrifugal structure with a rated power of 75 to 95 watts and a maximum air volume of 600 to 700 cubic meters per hour. The differential pressure sensor 8 has a range of ±5 to 10 millibars and an accuracy of ±0.25%, which is used to monitor the degree of blockage of the filtration system.

[0076] The mixed air gas path 3 is made of medical-grade silicone hose with an inner diameter of 18 to 25 mm, and the material complies with the ISO 10993 biocompatibility standard.

The design of the mixed gas path adopts a special geometric structure, the length of the mixing section is not less than 10 times the pipe diameter, and a vortex promotion device is set to ensure the uniformity of gas mixing, and the air flow distribution deviation is controlled within 5%.

[0077] The O2 gas path 4 is made of special oxygen materials with a pipe diameter of 10 to 15 mm, and the surface roughness of the inner wall is not greater than 0.4 microns. This smooth inner wall can reduce the interaction between oxygen molecules and the pipe wall and reduce oxygen loss. The oxygen production range of the O2 gas source oxygen generator 19 is 0.5 to 5 liters per minute, and the oxygen concentration is 93±3%. The third fan C adopts an external rotor structure with a rated power of 35 to 45 watts, featuring low noise and high efficiency. The technical indicators of the O2 concentration sensor 20 and the flow sensor 21 are the same as those described above. The O2 gas path switch 23 adopts a special sealing structure to ensure safe and reliable operation in a high-concentration oxygen environment.

[0078] The housing of the humidifying and heating device 12 is made of transparent material with a volume of 300 to 500 ml. The rated power of the heating element is 35 to 45 watts, and the surface temperature is accurately controlled within the range of 30 to 40 °C. The water tank is made of corrosion-resistant material and has an automatic liquid level compensation function to maintain a stable humidifying effect. This device can heat the gas to 35 to 37 °C, and the relative humidity reaches more than 95%, significantly improving the breathing comfort.

[0079] In the end monitoring system 18, the breathing mask 13 is made of medical-grade silicone material with a hardness of 40 to 60 Shore A. The design of the mask fully considers the ergonomic principle and adopts an anatomical contour, which can fit the facial contour and reduce air leakage. The measurement range of the blood oxygen concentration tester 15 is 70 to 100%, with an accuracy of ±2%. It adopts a high-sensitivity photoelectric sensor and can accurately monitor blood oxygen changes. The sampling flow of the PETCO2 sensor 16 is 45 to 55 ml per minute, and the response time is less than 3 seconds, enabling accurate measurement of end-tidal CO2.

[0080] The environmental monitoring system 29 adopts a distributed layout, and each sensor is connected through a digital bus to achieve real-time data acquisition and transmission. The CO2 concentration sensor 25 and the O2 concentration sensor 26 are used to monitor the components of environmental gases.

[0082] Through reasonable structural design and precise control strategies, this ventilator realizes the precise adjustment of respiratory parameters. In the treatment of sleep apnea, the respiratory rhythm can be stabilized by precisely controlling the CO2 concentration (1 to 3%), and at the same time, hypoxemia can be relieved by oxygen therapy (flow rate 0.5 to 5 liters per minute). When applied in a high-altitude environment, the system can automatically adjust the ventilation parameters according to changes in air pressure to help users better adapt to the hypoxic environment. The design of the entire system fully considers safety, reliability, and user comfort, and can meet the treatment needs in different scenarios.

[0083] The innovation of the present invention is reflected in the following aspects: First, through the coordinated control of multiple gas paths, the precise adjustment of the components of respiratory gases is realized; second, a comprehensive monitoring system is adopted to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment process; third, through intelligent control algorithms, the adaptive adjustment of the equipment is realized; finally, a good human-machine interaction design improves the convenience of using the equipment. These innovative designs give this equipment significant technical advantages in the field of respiratory therapy.

[0084] As Figure 2 shown, for the specific implementation manner of the signal acquisition and output processing control module, the steps it executes are described in detail as follows: The specific implementation manner of step S10 is to construct a directed graph network structure for speed regulation. First, set the speeds of 3 fans as the nodes in the graph, and each node is represented by a 3D vector denoted, where , , respectively represent the rotational speeds of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fans, and the rotational speed range is from 0 to 5000 rpm. The directed edges between nodes represent the conversion paths from one rotational speed combination to another, and the weights of the edges are calculated using an energy consumption model. The energy consumption model takes into account the kinetic energy change and mechanical loss caused by the rotational speed change, and the weight calculation formula is , where is the moment of inertia of the kth fan, is the rotational speed change amount, is the mechanical damping coefficient. The network structure is stored using an adjacency matrix, and the matrix elements represent the energy consumption values between the corresponding rotational speed combinations. The elements without conversion paths are set to infinity. The network structure constructed in this way includes all possible rotational speed adjustment schemes, laying a foundation for finding the optimal adjustment path subsequently. When constructing the network, the rotational speed space is discretized into a 100×100×100 grid, and the rotational speed difference between adjacent grid points does not exceed 50 rpm, ensuring the smoothness of the adjustment. The total number of nodes is controlled within 1 million, ensuring the calculation efficiency.

[0085] The specific implementation of step S20 is to collect physiological parameters and map them to network nodes. First, the blood oxygen saturation is collected through a blood oxygen concentration tester, and the sampling frequency is 1 Hz. The data is filtered by median filtering to remove outliers. At the same time, the PETCO2 concentration is collected, and the sampling frequency is also 1 Hz. The Kalman filter is used to eliminate the measurement noise. The filtered data is converted into a fan rotational speed combination through a mapping function, and the mapping function is implemented using fuzzy control rules. The input variables of the fuzzy control are the blood oxygen saturation and the PETCO2 concentration, and the output variable is the target rotational speeds of the 3 fans. The fuzzy rules are set based on the experience of medical experts. For example, when the blood oxygen is low and the PETCO2 is normal, increase the rotational speeds of the 2nd and 3rd fans and keep the rotational speed of the 1st fan unchanged. The fuzzy inference uses the Mamdani algorithm, and the membership function selects the Gaussian function. Finally, the obtained rotational speed combination is mapped to the nearest node in the network as the starting point of the path planning. During the mapping process, the normal range of the blood oxygen saturation is from 92% to 100%, and the normal range of the PETCO2 is from 35 to 45 mmHg.

[0086] The specific implementation of step S30 is to determine the target node. According to the preset target parameter range, the same mapping method is used to convert the target physiological parameters into the target rotational speed combination. The target value of blood oxygen saturation is set to 96% to 98%, and the target value of PETCO2 is set to 38 to 42 mmHg. The output limiting of the fuzzy control rule ensures that the target rotational speed is within the allowable range of the device. The upper limit of the rotational speed of the first fan is 3000 rpm, the second fan is 4000 rpm, and the third fan is 3500 rpm. At the same time, the matching relationship between the fans is considered. For example, the rotational speed of the second fan should not be less than 1.2 times the rotational speed of the first fan and not greater than 1.5 times the rotational speed of the third fan. The rotational speed combination that meets the constraint conditions is used as the target node. If there are multiple nodes that meet the conditions, the node with the minimum energy consumption at the current working point is selected as the target node.

[0087] The specific implementation of step S40 is to calculate the shortest path based on Dijkstra's algorithm. First, initialize the distance array and the predecessor node array , where represents the shortest distance from the starting point to node . The initial values are infinite except for the starting point. A small root heap is used to store the nodes to be expanded, and the capacity of the heap does not exceed 1000 nodes. Each time, the top node of the heap is taken out, and all its adjacent nodes are scanned. According to the state transition equation , the shortest distance is updated. Among them, is the weight value from node to node . If the distance value of node is updated, its predecessor node is updated to , and node is added to the heap. The termination condition of the algorithm is that the heap is empty or the target node is found. Finally, the shortest path is obtained by backtracking according to the predecessor node array. The rotational speed change amount between adjacent nodes on the path is restricted, and the single-step rotational speed change of any fan does not exceed 20% of the current rotational speed.

[0088] The specific implementation of step S50 is to generate a rotational speed adjustment sequence. The nodes on the shortest path are processed in sequence, and the rotational speed difference between adjacent nodes is calculated. Among them, is the rotational speed adjustment amount of the th fan, is the target rotational speed, is the current rotational speed. Since the dynamic characteristics of the fan need to be considered in actual control, the rotational speed regulation is divided into several sub-intervals. The sub-intervals are divided with equal time intervals, each interval being 3 seconds. The rotational speed change within each sub-interval is planned using a parabola to ensure continuous acceleration. The adjustment sequence includes the starting rotational speed, ending rotational speed, and transition point rotational speed of each sub-interval. The length of the sequence is jointly determined by the path length and adjustment constraints, usually between 10 and 30 intervals.

[0089] The specific implementation of step S60 is to solve the rotational speed regulation equations. First, a load balance equation is established , where is the load distribution coefficient, is the output power. The power distribution equation uses a cubic polynomial model , where , , , are the fan characteristic coefficients. The ventilation volume constraint equation is , where is the total ventilation volume, is the ventilation efficiency, is the maximum allowable ventilation volume. The efficiency maximization equation is , where is the air density, is the acceleration due to gravity, is the head. The system of equations is solved using the Newton iteration method, and the initial iteration value is provided by the solution of the previous moment. The iteration convergence criterion is that the maximum relative error between adjacent two iteration solutions is less than 0.1%. During the solution process, fan characteristic constraints are introduced to ensure that the operating point is located in the stable region of the fan characteristic curve.

[0090] The specific implementation of step S70 is to perform real-time parameter monitoring. After each rotational speed adjustment is completed, wait for 1 second for the system to reach stability, and then collect blood oxygen concentration and PETCO2 data within 300 ms. The data collection uses a sampling rate of 100 Hz, and power frequency interference is removed through digital filtering. The processed data is subjected to outlier detection, and data points exceeding 3 times the standard deviation are removed. Then, the mean value is calculated as the characteristic value of the current operating point. The characteristic value is converted into the actual arrival node in the rotational speed space through the aforementioned fuzzy mapping method. The influence of measurement error is considered during the mapping process. The measurement error of blood oxygen concentration is within ±2%, and the measurement error of PETCO2 is within ±3 mmHg.

[0091] The specific implementation of step S80 is to evaluate the control effect. Calculate the deviation value between the actual arrival node and the path planning node. The deviation value includes the node coordinate deviation and the corresponding physiological parameter deviation. The node coordinate deviation is measured by the Euclidean distance, and the threshold is set to 5% of the maximum rotational speed. The physiological parameter deviation is measured by the weighted sum of squares. The weight of the blood oxygen concentration deviation is 0.7, and the weight of the PETCO2 deviation is 0.3. The threshold of the total deviation value is set to 0.15. When any deviation exceeds the threshold, the actual arrival node is used as the new starting node, and the process returns to step S40 to re-plan the path. During the deviation evaluation process, the system stability is also checked. If the deviation does not show a decreasing trend after 3 consecutive adjustments, the diagonal elements of the weight matrix are increased to improve the robustness of the control.

[0092] The specific implementation of step S90 is iterative optimization control. Repeat steps S40 to S80 until the deviation value between the actual arrival node and the target node is less than the threshold. Adaptive step size control is adopted during the iteration. The initial step size is 80% of the maximum allowable adjustment amount, and then it is dynamically adjusted according to the deviation change trend. If the deviation continuously decreases, the step size remains unchanged; if the deviation fluctuates, the step size is reduced to 0.8 times the current value; if the deviation continuously increases, the step size is reduced to 0.5 times the current value. At the same time, a time constraint is introduced. If convergence has not been achieved after 90 seconds, the deviation threshold is increased to 1.2 times the original value. Throughout the control process, the system parameters are always kept within the safe range, the blood oxygen saturation is not less than 90%, and the PETCO2 does not exceed 50 mmHg. When the system reaches the target state, it enters the steady-state control mode, and the path planning is only re-triggered when the parameters change significantly.

[0093] Specifically, the principle of the present invention is: based on the physiological mechanism of human respiratory regulation, the active regulation of respiratory function is achieved by precisely controlling the composition of the inhaled gas. As the most important chemical regulator of the respiratory center, carbon dioxide affects respiratory activities through two pathways: one is to stimulate the peripheral chemoreceptors and affect the respiratory rhythm through neural reflexes; the other is to directly act on the central chemoreceptors by crossing the blood-brain barrier. The present invention is precisely based on this physiological mechanism, and realizes the precise regulation of respiratory function by precisely controlling the carbon dioxide concentration in the inhaled gas.

[0094] In the design of the control strategy, the present invention adopts a multi-objective optimization method based on graph theory. By mapping the rotational speed combinations of the three fans to network nodes, the change process of the system state is transformed into a path search problem in the network. This mathematical model not only considers the achievement of the control objectives, but also incorporates the energy consumption as the weight of the edge into the optimization scope, ensuring the economy of the control process.

[0095] In specific implementation, the present invention uses fuzzy control rules to map physiological parameters to the fan speed space, and this mapping relationship fully considers the non-linear characteristics of human respiratory regulation. At the same time, the Dijkstra algorithm is used to find the optimal adjustment path, ensuring the smoothness of the adjustment process and minimizing energy consumption. The system also introduces an adaptive step size control mechanism, which can dynamically adjust the adjustment strategy according to the control effect, improving the robustness of the system.

[0096] From a physiological perspective, the solution of the present invention avoids the respiratory alkalosis that may be caused by traditional ventilation treatment by maintaining an appropriate partial pressure of carbon dioxide. At the same time, apnea caused by too low carbon dioxide level is prevented through preventive adjustment. This regulation mechanism is coordinated with the human body's own respiratory regulation mechanism, so better treatment effects can be achieved.

[0108] Embodiment 2: This embodiment provides a specific implementation scheme of a carbon dioxide ventilator device for the treatment of sleep apnea syndrome. This device is mainly applied to the respiratory department of medical institutions for treating patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea syndrome.

[0109] The carbon dioxide ventilator in this embodiment adopts a modular design, mainly including four parts: a gas supply system, a mixing control system, a monitoring system, and a human-machine interaction system. Among them, the gas supply system includes a CO2 gas source, an oxygen generator, and an air filtration device; the mixing control system includes three independently controlled fans and a corresponding sensor array; the monitoring system includes a blood oxygen and end-tidal CO2 monitoring device; the human-machine interaction system includes a touch display screen and an alarm device.

The pressure reducing valve adopts a two-stage pressure reducing structure, reducing the pressure to 0.8 MPa in the first stage and to 0.2 MPa in the second stage.

The target value of blood oxygen saturation is set at 95%, with an allowable fluctuation range of ±2%. The target value of end-tidal CO2 is set at 40 mmHg, with an allowable fluctuation range of ±5 mmHg. When the monitored value exceeds the range, the system automatically adjusts the composition and flow rate of the mixed gas.

[0126] 2. Concentration protection: When the CO2 concentration exceeds 3.5%, the system automatically cuts off the CO2 supply and alarms. When the O2 concentration is lower than 19%, the system automatically increases the output of the oxygen generator.

[0127] 3. Flow protection: When the total flow rate is below 15 L / min, the system automatically increases the fan speed. When the flow rate exceeds 80 L / min, the system automatically decreases the fan speed.

[0128] 4. Temperature protection: When the airway temperature exceeds 42 °C, the system automatically reduces the heating power. When the temperature is below 28 °C, the system automatically increases the heating power.
