AI Technical Summary
Existing ventilator adapters are prone to discharge oxygen when the user exhale and provide insufficient oxygen when inhaling. This is mainly due to the lack of hardware support, and the software algorithm adjustment lags behind the changes in the user's breathing rhythm.
A ventilator adapter including a ventilator protective cover, ventilator pipe, air conduction system and control system was designed. It uses a gas flow rate sensor and a servo motor to dynamically adjust the opening and closing of the air conduction baffle by detecting changes in the gas flow rate to ensure oxygen. It is supplied to the user during inhalation and exhausts the gas through a one-way exhaust valve during exhalation.
It realizes automatic adjustment of oxygen supply pressure according to the user's breathing rhythm, improves the comfort and efficiency of the ventilator, and avoids the problems of oxygen waste and insufficient oxygen supply.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to an APAP type ventilator adapter. Background Art
[0002] At present, there are two main types of single-level ventilators in the medical field, namely CPAP type and APAP type. The former is the most basic working mode of sleep apnea machine. In CPAP mode, the ventilator will rise from the initial pressure to the set pressure and will maintain a constant output pressure. APAP mode sets a pressure range. When the user wears a breathing mask, the machine automatically adjusts the oxygen supply pressure according to the user's breathing rhythm, which is more comfortable. The breathing adapter is installed between the oxygen supply device and the trachea of the ventilator to periodically adjust the oxygen supply action. The working principle of the commonly used ventilator is to supply oxygen when the user inhales, and stop supplying oxygen when the user exhales with the help of the ventilator adapter. This mode has certain disadvantages. On the one hand, the oxygen provided by the oxygen supply source is easily discharged from the system structure when the user exhales; on the other hand, the user is prone to insufficient oxygen supply when inhaling. This is mainly because the current ventilator adapter relies on software algorithms to adjust the working cycle and lacks hardware support. When the user's breathing rhythm and breathing intensity change, the algorithm's adjustment of the device is likely to lag behind the user's actual needs. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of the problem that the existing ventilator adapters have poor therapeutic effects, the utility model provides a ventilator adapter which improves the working effect of the ventilator adapter at the hardware level and dynamically adjusts the working state.
[0004] Technical Solution
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions.
[0006] A ventilator adapter comprises a ventilator protective cover, a ventilator airway, an airway system and a control system.
[0007] The protective cover of the ventilator is connected to one end of the airway tube of the ventilator. The air guide system includes a one-way exhaust valve of the airway tube, an air guide shaft, an air guide baffle and an air guide protrusion. The air guide shaft includes a fixed part and a rotating part. The fixed part of the air guide shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the airway tube of the ventilator. The air guide baffle is fixedly connected to the rotating part of the air guide shaft. The edge of the air guide baffle is in close contact with the inner wall of the airway tube of the ventilator. The air guide protrusion is arranged on the inner wall of the airway tube of the ventilator at a position opposite to the air guide shaft. The one-way exhaust valve of the air guide tube is arranged at a position where the wall of the airway tube of the ventilator is closer to the protective cover of the ventilator than the air guide shaft. The control system includes a gas flow rate sensor, a sensor bracket, a servo motor, a servo driver and a PLC. The gas flow rate sensor is installed in the inner cavity of the protective cover of the ventilator through the sensor bracket. The servo motor is installed in the air guide shaft. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the rotating part. The servo driver is electrically connected to the servo motor. The PLC is electrically connected to the servo driver. The gas flow rate sensor is electrically connected to the PLC.
[0008] The gas flow rate sensor is located near the user's mouth and nose. In the interval between the user's exhalation and inhalation, the gas flow rate sensor will detect that the flow rate has returned to zero. Whenever the flow rate is detected to be zero, a corresponding signal is transmitted to the PLC. The PLC then controls the servo driver to operate the servo motor to control the gas guide baffle. The gas guide baffle opens during inhalation, allowing gas to be emitted from the ventilator and reach the user's mouth and nose. When the flow rate is zero, the servo motor controls the gas guide baffle to swing down and close, thereby ensuring that the gas exhaled by the user can only flow out through the one-way exhaust valve. In theory, a one-way conducting valve can also be used at the gas guide baffle to achieve a similar function, but the power for its opening and closing is too dependent on the gas movement generated by the user's own respiratory system, which puts too much burden on the user and reduces the user experience.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a protective cover fixing belt, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective cover of the ventilator. Beneficial Effects
[0010] The utility model provides a ventilator adapter that can automatically adjust the oxygen supply pressure according to the breathing rhythm of the user. The variable on which the ventilator adapter is adjusted - the gas flow rate at the mouth and nose - is easy to detect and has a large data fault tolerance space, which makes it easier for the adapter to respond correctly, making the use of the ventilator more comfortable and efficient.
