[0003] At present, the existing ventilator pipelines usually have a water accumulation cup in the middle of the pipeline to collect condensed water. The ventilator set up in this way requires medical staff to frequently tap the ventilator pipeline to make the condensed water in the pipeline flow into the water accumulation cup in the middle, and clean the water accumulation cup regularly, which undoubtedly increases the workload of medical staff; and the condensed water is conducive to bacterial reproduction if it is retained for too long, and there is a risk that the condensed water will flow back into the patient's airway, thereby causing complications such as choking and coughing in the patient; in addition, due to the need to set up the water accumulation cup, the ventilator pipeline forms a V-shape in which the water accumulation cup hangs at the bottom due to its own weight, and the pipelines on both sides are respectively led out obliquely upward on both sides of the water accumulation cup. The entire pipeline system is complex and the dead space volume is large, which is not conducive to the efficient transmission of gas, thereby affecting the overall performance of the ventilator.

The outer fiber bundle of the water absorption sleeve 5 (the side facing away from the gas transmission inner tube is the outer side) is interlaced with the inner fiber bundle of the condensed water absorption layer 6, so that the end of the inner fiber bundle of the condensed water absorption layer 6 extends into the inner cavity of the water absorption sleeve 5; A plurality of drain seats 7 are provided at the bottom of the thermal insulation layer 16, and a condensate drain port connected to the condensate absorption layer 6 is provided on the drain seat 7, and a detachable separation container 9 is provided on the drain seat 7, and a connecting pipe 8 is fixed on the separation container 9, and the connecting pipe 8 is detachably connected to the condensate drain port of the drain seat, and a drainage inner pipe 10 is provided in the separation container 9, and the upper end pipe mouth of the drainage inner pipe 10 is connected to the lower end pipe mouth of the connecting pipe 8, and the tube cavity of the drainage inner pipe 10 is connected with the inner cavity of the separation container 9, and a drainage floating ring 11 that can move up and down is sleeved on the drainage inner pipe 10, and a limiting column 15 for limiting the downward movement of the drainage floating ring 11 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the separation container 9, and a plurality of drainage holes 12 are provided on the side wall of the separation container 9, and when the drainage floating ring 11 is against the limiting column, the drainage floating ring 11 blocks each drainage hole 12, and the drainage floating ring 11 can move upward to a position that opens each drainage hole.

[0013] The heat insulating layer 16 is made of medical silica gel material, and the condensed water absorbing layer 6 and the water absorbing sleeve 5 are made of hydrophilic nanofiber material, and the hydrophilic nanofiber material is polymer nanofiber or composite nanofiber.

[0014] The embodiment of the present invention further includes an external monitoring terminal (not shown in the figure), and a plurality of humidity sensors 17 are embedded in the thermal insulation layer 16 and arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the gas transmission inner tube 1, and the signal output end of each humidity sensor 17 is respectively connected to the data acquisition port of the external monitoring terminal.

[0015] The embodiment of the present invention is used for a ventilator circuit, and its working principle is as follows: When in use, the oxygen delivered by the ventilator flows into the patient's airway through the pipeline, and the condensed water formed in the pipeline is guided to the guide groove 2 by the super-hydrophobic coating, and then flows into the inner cavity of the water-absorbing sleeve 5 through the water-drawing hole 3, and then is absorbed by the fiber bundles of the condensed water absorption layer 6 and temporarily stored in the condensed water absorption layer 6. The condensed water absorption layer 6 diffuses and stores in the pores through a large number of tiny pores between its fibers. The water storage capacity of the condensed water absorption layer 6 can reach the amount of condensed water generated by a single use of the ventilator pipeline; When the external monitoring terminal detects through each humidity sensor 17 that the water storage amount in the condensation water absorption layer 6 reaches the set value, the gas transmission inner tube 1 can be removed from the patient, the condensation water absorption layer 6 can be squeezed, and the water stored in the condensation water absorption layer 6 can be discharged using the separation container 9. During the drainage process, the condensation water at the bottom of the inner cavity of the separation container 9 is continuously gathered, and the drainage floating ring 11 floats up under the action of buoyancy. When the condensation water level rises to the drainage hole 12, the condensation water is discharged. The insulation layer can protect the pipeline body from damage and reduce the influence of external air, thereby reducing the generation of condensation water.
