[0002] Anesthesia ventilators play a vital role in the modern medical field and provide important guarantees for the safety and success of surgery. During general anesthesia surgery, anesthesia ventilators connect patients by inserting endotracheal tubes to control the patient's breathing and ensure the stability of the patient's physiological parameters. The exhaled gas (mixed gas containing carbon dioxide, mainly oxygen, or anesthetic gas) in the breathing circuit of the anesthesia ventilator is absorbed by the carbon dioxide absorption tank and then re-enters the breathing circuit for use, ensuring that the patient will not repeatedly inhale this gas, thereby ensuring the patient's life safety.

[0003] Among them, the soda lime in the carbon dioxide absorption tank reacts chemically with the carbon dioxide in the breathing circuit to remove the carbon dioxide in the patient's exhaled air. When the soda lime loses its absorption capacity after a certain period of use, the carbon dioxide absorption tank needs to be removed and replaced. Therefore, it is necessary to design a three-way connector that can facilitate the removal and replacement of the carbon dioxide absorption tank from the breathing circuit of the anesthesia ventilator.
