[0012] A triangular rib matching the V-shaped groove is arranged on the end surface of the lower cover facing the first flow channel, and the triangular rib is used to press the hydrophobic membrane into the V-shaped groove so that the first flow channel and the second flow channel constitute independent water filtering channels.

[0025] Compared with the above background technology, the first flow channel and the second flow channel of the present application form a water filtering channel. The gas exhaled by the patient enters the first flow channel through the air inlet and flows in the first flow channel. The first flow channel is distributed in an arc shape, which can avoid gas turbulence when the high-speed flowing gas turns sharply. At the same time, the water in the first flow channel is filtered by a hydrophobic membrane. The filtered gas can enter the second flow channel and be discharged to the monitor through the air outlet. The gas at the beginning of the first flow channel has a higher air flow velocity, which drives some of the condensed water droplets to flow along the arc. In this process, part of the gas is filtered and enters the second flow channel. The lower the air flow velocity and the higher the humidity of the first flow channel, the gas is completely filtered at the end. The remaining water droplets gather at the water outlet. Under the action of gravity, the water droplets flow into the water collection cup along the water outlet. The dry gas on the other side enters the monitor along the air outlet to complete the gas-liquid separation. Therefore, the gas-liquid separation device set in the above manner can effectively remove water vapor and solve the problems of cumbersome installation of existing equipment and water vapor affecting measurement results.

[0026] Specifically, the present application includes a lower cover, a sealing cover, a hydrophobic membrane and a water collecting cup.

The hydrophobic membrane is clamped between the first flow channel and the second flow channel, and is used to filter the moisture in the end-tidal gas, and isolate and gather the water droplets in the first flow channel; it should be noted that since the monitor will generate a certain negative pressure at the air outlet, the gas in the first flow channel will continue to flow through the hydrophobic membrane to the second flow channel, while the moisture is filtered out by the hydrophobic membrane and remains in the first flow channel, and finally discharged through the outlet and gathered in the water collection cup.

[0046] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the directions or positional relationships indicated by "upper", "lower", "front", "back", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. In addition, "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0048] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a gas-liquid separation device is provided, which can be used in conjunction with the plug-in module of the monitor 1 to filter out moisture in the patient's end-tidal gas to prevent moisture from affecting the monitor 1 itself and the measurement results.

[0050] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The gas-liquid separation device 2 of the present application includes a lower cover 22, a sealing cover 24, a hydrophobic membrane 25 and a water collecting cup 23. A first flow channel 221 distributed in an arc shape is arranged on the end surface of the lower cover 22. The arc shape can be a fan ring structure with unclosed ends, and the two ends of the first flow channel 221 are respectively called the starting end and the end end. Of course, the starting end and the end end can be interchangeable, as long as the relative relationship between the two is ensured, and no excessive restrictions are imposed here.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 4The first flow channel 221 has an air inlet 220 at its beginning for injecting end-expiratory gas into the first flow channel 221, and a water outlet 226 at its end for discharging water droplets in the first flow channel 221. Generally speaking, the patient's end-expiratory gas enters the first flow channel 221 through the air inlet 220.

[0052] A sealing cover 24 is fixed on the lower cover 22, and the sealing cover 24 covers the position of the first flow channel 221. A second flow channel 247 corresponding to the first flow channel 221 is opened on the end surface of the sealing cover 24 facing the first flow channel 221, that is, the shape and position of the second flow channel 247 are the same as those of the first flow channel 221, and the starting end and the end end of the second flow channel 247 correspond to the starting end and the end end of the first flow channel 221 respectively; similarly, the starting end and the end end of the second flow channel 247 also emphasize the correspondence with the first flow channel 221, which will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 5 The end of the second flow channel 247 is provided with an air outlet 245 for exhausting gas, and the position of the air outlet 245 corresponds to the position of the water outlet 226. The hydrophobic membrane 25 is clamped between the first flow channel 221 and the second flow channel 247, that is, between the lower cover 22 and the sealing cover 24, and can filter the moisture in the end-tidal gas and isolate and gather the water droplets in the first flow channel 221. The air outlet 245 is usually connected to the monitor 1, so as to effectively prevent moisture from entering the monitor 1.

[0054] A water collecting cup 23 is sealed at the lower side of the lower cover 22 and can receive water drops discharged from the water outlet 226 .

[0055] It should be noted that in order to facilitate the water droplets to flow toward the water outlet 226, a certain horizontal height difference can be set between the water outlet 226 and the air inlet 220, that is, the first flow channel 221 can have a certain degree of inclination, so that the water droplets can gradually flow toward the water outlet 226 by utilizing their own gravity.

[0056] In summary of the above embodiments, the present application utilizes the first flow channel 221 and the second flow channel 247 to form a water filtration channel. The end-tidal gas exhaled by the patient enters the first flow channel 221 through the air inlet 220 and flows in the first flow channel 221. The first flow channel 221 is distributed in an arc shape, which can avoid gas turbulence when the high-speed flowing end-tidal gas makes a sharp turn. At the same time, the hydrophobic membrane 25 is used to filter the moisture in the first flow channel 221. The filtered end-tidal gas can enter the second flow channel 247 and be discharged to the monitor 1 through the air outlet 245, while the moisture remains in the first flow channel 221. In addition, the gas at the beginning of the first flow channel 221 has a higher airflow velocity, thereby driving some of the condensed water droplets to flow along the arc. During this process, some of the end-expiratory gas can still enter the second flow channel 247 through the hydrophobic membrane 25. The lower the airflow velocity and the higher the humidity of the first flow channel 221, the lower the end. Finally, all the end-expiratory gas is filtered, and the remaining water droplets gather at the water outlet 226. Under the action of gravity, the water droplets flow along the water outlet 226 into the water collection cup 23, and the dry end-expiratory gas on the other side flows into the monitor 1 along the air outlet to complete the gas-liquid separation. Therefore, the gas-liquid separation device 2 set in the above manner can effectively remove water vapor and solve the problems of cumbersome installation of existing equipment and water vapor affecting measurement results.

[0057] In addition, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In order to avoid the influence of external gas and the air cross-talk between the air inlet 220 and the air outlet 245, a V-shaped groove 223 is opened on the end surface of the lower cover 22, and the V-shaped groove 223 includes a first V-shaped groove located on the inner side of the first flow channel 221 and distributed in a ring shape, a second V-shaped groove located on the outer side of the first flow channel 221 and distributed in a ring shape, and a third V-shaped groove located between the starting end and the end end of the first flow channel 221 and connecting the first V-shaped groove and the second V-shaped groove.

[0058] A triangular rib 246 cooperating with the V-shaped groove 223 is provided on the end surface of the lower cover 22 facing the first flow channel 221. The triangular rib 246 can press the hydrophobic membrane 25 in the V-shaped groove 223, so that the first flow channel 221 and the second flow channel 247 constitute independent water filtering channels, preventing external gas from affecting the water filtering channels and preventing gas from mixing between the air inlet 220 and the air outlet 245.

[0059] In addition, the longitudinal cross-section of any part of the first flow channel 221 and / or the second flow channel 247 is smooth and circular arc-shaped, which can improve the flow efficiency of water droplets in the first flow channel 221. At the same time, the arc-shaped first flow channel 221 and the second flow channel 247 can avoid gas turbulence when the high-speed end-expiratory gas turns sharply, and at the same time, the water filter channel is appropriately lengthened to increase the contact area between the end-expiratory gas and the hydrophobic membrane 25. The analysis system in the monitor 1 evacuates air to form a negative pressure in the air outlet 245 and the second flow channel 247, and the end-expiratory gas continuously flows into the air inlet 220, and a positive pressure is generated in the first flow channel 221, and a concentration gradient is formed between the two. The further to the rear end, the less the end-expiratory gas in the first flow channel 221, and the water vapor remains unchanged. The further to the rear end, the lower the air flow velocity and the higher the humidity. After the dry end-expiratory gas enters the second flow channel 247, it flows into the monitor 1. The water vapor in the first flow channel 221 gathers to form water droplets, which flow into the water collection cup 23 from the water outlet 226.

[0060] In order to prevent water drops from clogging the water outlet 226 , a drainage column 29 may be provided below the water outlet 226 .

[0061] The air inlet 220 is vertically arranged with the first flow channel 221, and an air inlet channel 26 connected with the air inlet 220 is arranged on the lower cover 22, and a Luer connector 27 is arranged at the end of the air inlet channel 26, and a sampling tube is externally connected through the Luer connector 27 for the patient to exhale; the air outlet 245 is vertically arranged with the second flow channel 247, and an air outlet channel 241 connected with the air outlet 245 is arranged on the sealing cover 24, and the air outlet channel 241 is externally connected with the monitor 1 to allow the dry end-expiratory gas after the moisture is filtered to enter the monitor 1.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 3 The inner wall of the air outlet channel 241 is a stepped columnar structure, the inner cylinder is interference-fitted with the PE sintered filter element 242, and the outer cylinder is interference-fitted with a silicone sleeve 243 for connecting the monitor 1. The other end of the silicone sleeve 243 is interference-fitted with the air path interface 11 to maintain the sealing effect.

[0063] Due to the special properties of the hydrophobic membrane 25, it must be kept flat during use. Other fixing methods such as screws and buckles will cause local stress to be too large, affecting the use effect of the hydrophobic membrane 25. Therefore, this application uses ultrasonic welding to connect. Please refer to Figure 5 The outer periphery of the sealing cover 24 is provided with a first ultrasonic welding line 244 for sealing and welding with the lower cover 22. The sealing cover 24 and the lower cover 22 are fixed by ultrasonic welding, and the first ultrasonic welding line 244 evenly surrounds the lower cover 22, thereby achieving a sealing effect. Similarly, the lower cover 22 and the cup cover 21 can also be ultrasonically welded. Please refer to Figure 4 A discontinuous second ultrasonic welding line 222 is provided on the outer edge of the lower cover 22, so as to correspond to the ultrasonic connection point 211 of the cup cover 21, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the two.

[0064] The cup cover 21 can wrap the sealing cover 24, but the cup cover 21 does not participate in the gas sealing and only needs to be fixed. Figure 3 and Figure 6 At the same time, a U-shaped rib 212 adapted to the U-shaped groove of the silicone sleeve 243 is opened on the cup cover 21. The U-shaped rib 212 can play a certain fixing role on the silicone sleeve 243 to maintain the connection stability between the silicone sleeve 243 and the air path interface 11.

[0065] It should be noted that in order to facilitate the rapid correspondence between the sealing cover 24 and the lower cover 22, that is, the first flow channel 221 corresponds to the second flow channel 247, and the V-shaped groove 223 corresponds to the triangular rib 246, a plurality of positioning blocks 227 are provided on the lower cover 22, and a plurality of positioning grooves 248 are opened on the outer periphery of the sealing cover 24. The positioning blocks 227 and the positioning grooves 248 match each other, so that the sealing cover 24 and the lower cover 22 can be quickly installed in correspondence.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 3 , a detection position 231 is provided on the water collection cup 23 or the lower cover 22, and a detection connector 13 corresponding to the detection position 231 is provided on the monitor 1, which is used to detect whether the water collection cup 23 or the lower cover 22 is in place. Specifically, the contact and separation of the detection connector 13 and the detection position 231 will generate different voltages. When the detection position 231 and the detection connector 13 are in contact, the detection connector 13 outputs a high level, the signal is fed back to the circuit board, the circuit board sends corresponding control information to the air pump, and the buzzer can give a prompt, such as a voice prompt such as "detection starts". When the detection position 231 and the detection connector 13 are not in contact, the detection connector 13 outputs a low level, the signal is fed back to the circuit board, the circuit board controls the air pump to remain in a closed state, and the buzzer can give a prompt, such as a voice prompt such as "contact is not in place". When the detection position 231 is not in contact with the body position detection connector 13, the body position detection connector 13 does not output a potential, the signal is fed back to the circuit board, and the circuit board controls the air pump to remain in a closed state.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 7 The lower side of the lower cover 22 is provided with an outer wall 228 extending downward and an inner wall 229 located on the inner side of the outer wall 228. The side wall of the water collecting cup 23 extends between the outer wall 228 and the inner wall 229 and is interference fit. An O-ring 232 is provided on the side wall of the water collecting cup 23 to cooperate with the inner wall 229 or the outer wall 228.

[0068] Furthermore, a smooth transition can be made at the bottom of the inner wall 229, and the thickness gradually decreases. The mouth of the water collecting cup 23 adapted thereto also has a smooth transition and an increased thickness. During loading and unloading, the change in thickness can prevent the O-ring 232 on the limiting groove from falling off.

[0069] In addition, two through holes 224 are provided on the lower cover 22, and two copper rod probes 28 are located in the two through holes 224 and are provided on the inner side wall 229. The copper rod probes 28 can be integrally injection molded with the inner side wall 229. When the gas-liquid separation device 2 is installed in place, the two liquid level probes 12 contact the two copper rod probes 28 to achieve electrical connection; when the water level in the water collection cup 23 reaches the preset position, the water level contacts the two copper rod probes 28 at the same time, and the two copper rods are connected to transmit the signal back to the circuit board, and the circuit board controls the buzzer to issue a prompt, such as a voice prompt such as "The water cup is full, please clean it in time", to prevent the water collected in the water collection cup 23 from being re-mixed into the measured end-tidal gas and affecting subsequent measurements.

[0070] This application also provides a monitor, please refer to Figure 1 The monitor 1 includes an air circuit interface 11, a gas-liquid separation device 2, a base 14, and other necessary systems, circuit boards, and other components that constitute the monitor 1. The gas-liquid separation device 2 is any of the above-mentioned gas-liquid separation devices 2. The gas-liquid separation device 2 is stably placed on the base 14, and its gas outlet 245 is connected to the air circuit interface 11 to receive the end-tidal gas after gas-liquid separation, so as to analyze the end-tidal gas through the monitor 1. At the same time, a hand-held position 225 can be set on the side wall of the lower cover 22 to facilitate the placement of the gas-liquid separation device 2.

[0071] It should be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are merely used to distinguish one entity from other entities, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0072] Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application, and the description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
