DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the objects and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is specifically described below in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or several specific implementation manners of the present application, and does not strictly limit the specific protection scope requested by the present application.

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] As shown in Figures 1-7 , a carbon dioxide absorption device for general anesthesia includes a primary carbon dioxide absorption tank 1, the primary carbon dioxide absorption tank 1 includes two shell plates 2, the two shell plates 2 are connected through a connecting ring 3, the connecting ring 3 and the two shell plates 2 form a sealed shell body, and the inside of the sealed shell body is set in a vacuum.

[0030] A first gas supply pipe 4 is fixedly connected to one of the shell plates 2, and a second gas supply pipe 5, which is opposite to the first gas supply pipe 4, is fixedly connected to the other shell plate 2.

[0031] The core of this technical solution is that multiple movable tanks 8 are installed between the two shell plates 2. The tanks 8 are hollow structures with openings at the top and bottom. The inside of the tanks 8 is filled with filter material soaked in sodium hydroxide. When exhaled carbon dioxide enters the tank 8 through the second gas delivery pipe 5, it will be filtered by the filter material and neutralized by sodium hydroxide and carbon dioxide, thus achieving a good absorption effect on carbon dioxide.

[0032] As the ability of sodium hydroxide and filter material to neutralize carbon dioxide gradually decreases after long-term use, the filter material soaked in sodium hydroxide needs to be replaced. In order to extend the single use time of the carbon dioxide absorption device, this technical solution can quickly replace the tank 8 opposite to the first gas supply pipe 4 and the second gas supply pipe 5 by moving the tank 8, thus maintaining the continuous use of the carbon dioxide absorption device.

[0033] At this time, the tank 8 opposite to the first gas supply pipe 4 and the second gas supply pipe 5 can ensure the effectiveness of the carbon dioxide absorption device. The filter material inside the other tanks 8 can be replaced to increase the single use time of the carbon dioxide absorption device.

[0034] The filter material can be velvet or wood chips. The velvet is arranged in layers and has air pores. The wood chips have a particle size of 4 to 15 mesh.

[0035] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in order to reduce the gap between the tank body 8 and the shell plate 2, thereby reducing the leakage of sodium hydroxide inside the tank body 8 through the gap, this technical solution selects to set a sealing unit between the shell plate 2 and the tank body 8. The sealing unit includes a sealed state and a movable state. When the sealing unit is in the sealed state, the sealing unit fills and seals the gap between the shell plate 2 and the tank body 8. When the sealing unit is in the movable state, the sealing unit releases the seal on the gap between the shell plate 2 and the tank body 8.

[0036] At this time, when the tank body 8 is adjusted and displaced, the sealing unit is switched to the moving state to reduce the wear caused to the sealing unit when the tank body 8 moves. After the tank body 8 has moved, the sealing unit is switched to the sealing state so that the sealing unit fills and seals the gap between the shell plate 2 and the tank body 8, reducing the leakage of sodium hydroxide through the gap.

[0037] like Figures 1-3As shown, the sealing unit comprises a micro air pump 11 and an inflatable sealing strip 10 in communication with each other, the micro air pump 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the tank body 8, the inflatable sealing strip 10 is installed at the end of the tank body 8 close to the shell plate 2, and a hollow air cavity is formed in the inside of the inflatable sealing strip 10. At this time, the air cavity of the inflatable sealing strip 10 is inflated by the micro air pump 11, so that the inflatable sealing strip 10 is inflated into a sealing state, and the gap between the shell plate 2 and the tank body 8 is sealed. When the tank body 8 moves, the air cavity of the inflatable sealing strip 10 is deflated by the micro air pump 11, so that the inflatable sealing strip 10 shrinks into a moving state, the inflatable sealing strip 10 and the shell plate 2 are separated, and the wear of the inflatable sealing strip 10 caused by the movement of the tank body 8 is reduced.

[0038] As shown in Figures 2-4 , the end of the tank body 8 is provided with a first groove 9, and the inflatable sealing strip 10 is fixedly connected in the inside of the first groove 9, and the fixed mode is preferably adhesion. The side surface of the shell plate 2 close to the tank body 8 is provided with a plurality of second grooves 12, and the lower part of the inflatable sealing strip 10 can extend into the inside of the second grooves 12 when the inflatable sealing strip 10 is inflated, thereby enhancing the sealing effect of the inflatable sealing strip 10.

[0039] At the same time, as shown in Figure 4 , the inner wall of the second groove 12 is provided with a concave-convex shaped part 13, and the cross section of the concave-convex shaped part 13 can be a wave line composed of a plurality of arcs, or a polyline composed of a plurality of line segments. At this time, when the inflatable sealing strip 10 is inflated, the shape of the concave-convex shaped part 13 can shape the side edge of the inflatable sealing strip 10 close to the concave-convex shaped part 13, thereby further enhancing the sealing effect of the inflatable sealing strip 10.

[0040] As shown in Figures 1-2 , the tank body 8 can be linearly and repeatedly moved, or can be rotated and moved, and in the technical solution, the rotation movement is preferred, and specifically, the transmission motor 6 is fixedly connected to the shell plate 2, the output end of the transmission motor 6 is fixedly connected with a multi-arm support 7 located between the two primary carbon dioxide absorption tanks 1, and the plurality of tank bodies 8 are arranged in a ring array around the axis of the multi-arm support 7, and the plurality of tank bodies 8 are fixedly connected with the multi-arm support 7. At this time, the multi-arm support 7 can drive the plurality of tank bodies 8 to rotate by starting the transmission motor 6, and the movement mode is relatively simple.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1-2 and Figure 5As shown, when the filter material is wood chips, in order to ensure the carbon dioxide absorption effect of the wood chips during long-term use, the inside of the tank body 8 is equipped with a driving group, a rotating rod 15 is installed on the driving group, a spiral pushing piece 16 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 15, and a space for the flow of wood chips is arranged between the spiral pushing piece 16 and the inner wall of the tank body 8. When the driving group is started, the wood chips at the middle position of the tank body 8 will be pushed upward by the rotation of the spiral pushing piece 16, so that the wood chips at the middle position of the tank body 8 move upward. When the wood chips at the middle position of the tank body 8 move upward, the wood chips on the side of the spiral pushing piece 16 will move downward, so that the wood chips move inside the tank body 8, so that the wood chips are evenly contacted with carbon dioxide, thereby reducing the phenomenon that the wood chips are rapidly ineffective due to excessive contact of the lower wood chips with carbon dioxide, and cannot effectively absorb carbon dioxide.

[0042] As shown in the figure, Figures 5-6 The driving group includes a bracket body 14 fixedly connected to the inside of the tank body 8 and located on the upper side of the spiral pushing piece 16, the rotating rod 15 is rotatably connected to the bracket body 14, the bracket body 14 is fixedly connected with a small bracket 19 on the upper side, the small bracket 19 is rotatably connected with a rubber wheel 17, and the top of the rubber wheel 17 is in abutment with the shell plate 2. When the transmission motor 6 drives the tank body 8 to move, the rubber wheel 17 will move on the shell plate 2. At this time, the rubber wheel 17 will rotate when it moves, and the rubber wheel 17 and the rotating rod 15 are connected through a gear set 18. When the rubber wheel 17 rotates, the rotating rod 15 can be driven to rotate through the gear set 18, thereby providing the rotating rod 15 with rotational kinetic energy.

[0043] The working principle of the embodiment is: when the exhaled carbon dioxide enters the inside of the tank body 8 through the second gas conveying pipe 5, it is filtered through the filter material, and is neutralized by sodium hydroxide and carbon dioxide, and then is discharged through the first gas conveying pipe 4;

[0044] When the tank body 8 is used for a long time, the filter material and sodium hydroxide gradually lose effectiveness, and the first gas conveying pipe 4 and the second gas conveying pipe 5 are replaced with the tank body 8. When the tank body 8 is replaced, the transmission motor 6 is started to drive the tank body 8 to move, and at the same time, the air cavity of the expansion sealing strip 10 is deflated by the micro air pump 11 to separate the expansion sealing strip 10 from the shell plate 2, so as to reduce the abrasion of the expansion sealing strip 10 caused by the movement of the tank body 8. At this time, the sealing is ensured only by the cooperation of the shell plate 2 and the tank body 8. After the movement of the tank body 8 is completed, the air cavity of the expansion sealing strip 10 is inflated by the micro air pump 11, so that the expansion sealing strip 10 is inflated to a sealed state, and the gap between the shell plate 2 and the tank body 8 is sealed.

[0045] In summary, in the embodiment, carbon dioxide is absorbed by the filter material and sodium hydroxide, which has a good absorption effect on carbon dioxide, the continuous use of the carbon dioxide absorption device can be maintained by switching the tank 8, the single use time of the carbon dioxide absorption device is prolonged, and the leakage of sodium hydroxide through the gap can be reduced by filling and sealing the gap between the shell plate 2 and the tank 8 by the sealing unit.

[0048] The inhalation branch pipe 20 is communicated with a fresh gas inlet 26 for the entry of fresh gas, and then the fresh gas flows into the Y-shaped joint 22 through the inhalation branch pipe 20, at the same time, the inhalation branch pipe 20 is installed with an inhalation one-way valve 24 between the fresh gas inlet 26 and the Y-shaped joint 22, which is used for avoiding the reverse flow of the fresh gas, the exhalation branch pipe 21 is communicated with a waste gas discharge pipe 27 for discharging the carbon dioxide exhaled by the patient, the exhalation branch pipe 21 is installed with an exhalation one-way valve 25 between the Y-shaped joint 22 and the waste gas discharge pipe 27, which is used for avoiding the reverse flow of the carbon dioxide, and a first carbon dioxide absorption tank 1 is installed on the exhalation branch pipe 21 between the exhalation one-way valve 25 and the waste gas discharge pipe 27, which is used for absorbing the carbon dioxide, at the same time, a second carbon dioxide absorption tank 28 is installed on the exhalation branch pipe 21 between the first carbon dioxide absorption tank 1 and the waste gas discharge pipe 27, so that the carbon dioxide can be absorbed through the cooperation of the first carbon dioxide absorption tank 1 and the second carbon dioxide absorption tank 28.
