[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and illustrated herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0024] The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] The present utility model is a fixing device for elevating a ventilator circuit. Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , which is used to be arranged on the ventilator circuit and includes a main body member 1, an input joint 2, and a connecting hoop 3. The main body member 1 has an annular structure, and an expansion cavity 4 is provided inside the main body member 1; the input joint is arranged on the main body member 1 and is communicated with the expansion cavity 4 for inputting an expansion medium into the expansion cavity 4; the connecting hoop 3 is arranged at the central part of the main body member 1. During use, the main body member 1 is detachably arranged on the ventilator circuit through the connecting hoop 3, and the expansion medium is filled into the expansion cavity 4 through the input joint 2, so that the main body member 1 expands, thereby adjusting the position of the ventilator circuit to make the ventilator pipeline and the trachea in the same horizontal position. This can not only effectively reduce the increase of condensate water in the circuit and the risk of it flowing back into the patient's airway, increasing the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, but also avoid the airway and the ventilator pipeline not being on the same horizontal line, and the ventilator pipeline being bent at an acute angle, which is likely to pull the artificial airway during use and even cause the tracheal intubation to become dislodged.

[0026] In this embodiment, the connecting hoop 3 includes a hoop member 5 and a connecting member 6. The hoop member 5 is disposed at the central part of the main body member 1. The hoop member 5 has a "C"-shaped structure and is made of an elastic metal material or a plastic material. The connecting member 6 is disposed at the opening of the hoop member 5. The hoop member 5 is detachably disposed on the ventilator circuit through the connecting member 6. The "C"-shaped hoop member 5 not only enables the main body member 1 to be conveniently installed on the ventilator circuit, but also facilitates adjusting the position of the main body member 1 on the ventilator circuit, thereby facilitating adjusting the position of the fixing device to raise the ventilator circuit.

[0027] In this embodiment, there is also a notch 7 provided on the main body member 1. The notch 7 is adapted to the opening of the hoop member 5, so that the ventilator circuit can extend into the "C"-shaped hoop member 5 through the notch 7 and the opening of the hoop member 5, further reducing the difficulty of installing the fixing device on the ventilator circuit. More preferably, during the use of the fixing device, medical staff can adjust the position of the notch so that the notch faces downward, thereby effectively preventing the fixing device from rolling.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connecting member 6 includes a clamping block 8 and a connecting block 9. The clamping block 8 and the connecting block 9 are respectively disposed at both ends of the hoop member 5. A clamping groove 10 adapted to the clamping block 8 is provided on the connecting block 9. One end of the hoop member 5 is clamped with the clamping groove 10 disposed at the other end of the hoop member 5 through the clamping block 8, thereby enabling the two ends of the "C"-shaped hoop member 5 to be easily detachably connected.

[0029] In this embodiment, clamping blocks 8 or connecting blocks 9 are provided on both sides of the end of the hoop member 5, which not only greatly increases the stability when the two ends of the hoop member 5 are connected through the connecting member 6, but also the clamping blocks 8 or connecting blocks 9 are disposed on both sides of the hoop member 5, making it more convenient for medical staff to disassemble the fixing device.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first end of the connecting block 9 is connected to one end of the hoop member 5, the second end of the connecting block 9 extends toward the other end of the hoop member 5, and an inclined surface is provided at the second end of the connecting block 9. When the clamping block 8 contacts the second end of the connecting block 9, the clamping block 8 contacts the inclined surface. The inclined surface enables the clamping block 8 to more easily slide into the clamping groove 10, further reducing the difficulty for medical staff to load and unload the fixing device.

[0031] In this embodiment, the main body member 1 is made of rubber or silica gel material. The main body member 1 made of rubber or silica gel material not only has greater elasticity, enabling the main body to expand or be retracted more easily, but also has a large friction force on the surface of the main body member 1 made of rubber and silica gel, thereby being able to fix the ventilator circuit more effectively. Secondly, the main body member 1 made of rubber or silica gel material also has greater ductility, enabling the main body to have a larger expansion amount.

[0032] The above are only several specific embodiments of the present utility model disclosed, but the present utility model is not limited thereto, and any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
