[0052] The following further describes the content of the present utility model in detail with specific embodiments: Embodiment 1
[0053] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, a patient interface includes a housing 1, a filter layer 4, and a flow guide member 3.
[0054] The housing 1 is taken as a whole and can be set as a symmetrical structure. Taking the direction shown in Figure 2 as an example, the housing 1 is a vertically symmetrical structure and has a pair of connectors 2 symmetrically arranged up and down; an accommodation cavity 13 is formed inside the housing 1 between the pair of connectors 2; the filter layer 4 is fixed in the accommodation cavity 13 and separates the pair of connectors 2; the flow guide member 3 is located inside the connector 2, a first air flow channel 31 is provided inside the flow guide member 3, and a second air flow channel 311 is formed between the outer wall of the flow guide member 3 and the inner wall of the connector; the inner and outer contours of the flow guide member 3 are both conical, and the large-mouth end is on the side closer to the filter layer 4.
[0055] The flow guide member 3 is coaxially arranged with the joint 2. The flow guide member 3 is in a figure-eight shape along the cross-section passing through the axis. The outer wall of the flow guide member 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the joint 2 through four rib strips 32. Of course, in other embodiments, other numbers of rib strips 32 can also be used, and the number is generally controlled within 2 - 6. The number of rib strips 32 should not be too many, otherwise it will affect the flow of the air current, nor should it be too few, otherwise the connection strength is insufficient. In this embodiment, by providing the flow guide member 3 with the first air flow channel 31, the air current can flow between the inner wall of the housing 1 and the outer wall of the flow guide member 3, as well as within the first air flow channel 31, ensuring that the gas can be more evenly dispersed within the housing 1.
[0056] Regarding the composition of the housing 1, it includes the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. A pair of joints 2 are integrally formed with the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 respectively; the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 have a connecting portion 14 that fits with each other. The connecting portion 14 is in an annular structure and is fixedly sealed by ultrasonic welding, effectively ensuring the sealing performance between the assembly ends of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. It should be noted that the housing 1 as a whole is a symmetric structure, but in this embodiment, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 themselves are not completely symmetric, mainly in the structure corresponding to the connecting portion 14. To ensure the tight fit between the two, an annularly distributed groove 141 is provided in the connecting portion 14 of the first housing 11, and a limiting rib 142 that cooperates with the groove 141 is provided in the connecting portion 14 of the second housing 12. After the limiting rib 142 cooperates with the groove 141, the assembly positioning is completed, and then the sealing fixation is achieved through ultrasonic welding.
[0057] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the housing 1 corresponding to the accommodation cavity 13 increases from the side of the joint 2 to the side of the filter layer 4. That is to say, both the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 have an inner diameter that increases from the side of the joint 2 to the side of the filter layer 4, forming an inclined setting. Combined with the setting of the flow guide member 3, the gas can diffuse to the circumferential side after entering, which can effectively reduce the dead space, increase the usage area of the filter layer 4, and prevent the gas from directly blowing on the filter layer 4 when entering the housing 1, so as to avoid excessive loss at the central position of the filter layer 4.
[0058] As Figure 1 shown, the inner walls of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 have reinforcing ribs 16 extending into the accommodation cavity 13. The reinforcing ribs 16 are distributed in a divergent shape, which is used to ensure the strength of the housing 1 itself and is not easily deformed.
[0059] As Figure 2 shown, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 also have a sealing member 15 within the accommodation cavity 13. The sealing member 15 is in a columnar structure, and one end along the axis is fixedly connected to the housing 1. Generally, an integral molding method is used to ensure the sealing performance of the structure and the convenience of manufacturing; a pair of sealing members 15 are arranged axially aligned for installing the filter layer 4.
[0060] Regarding the filter layer 4, which is constructed as a laminated structure or an inner and outer coating structure, the specific surface area can be increased, and the structure can be any one of a melt-blown cloth layer and a glass fiber composite material layer. By setting the filter layer 4, it can be used to isolate particles, viruses, and miscellaneous bacteria, enabling the ventilator and gas pipeline to be used crosswise among different patients, reducing the usage cost of patients, and also eliminating the need for cleaning and disinfection, thereby prolonging the service life of the ventilator and gas pipeline. During installation, as Figure 2 shown, the filter layer 4 is clamped between a pair of seals 15. To ensure the stability of the connection, the distance between the closer ends of the pair of seals 15 is less than the thickness of the filter layer 4 under normal conditions. In the clamped state, the clamped part forms a primary seal; since the connection part 14 between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 is fixed by ultrasonic welding, a secondary seal is formed; the double-layer seal can effectively prevent gas leakage, reducing the pollution of the equipment caused by the exhaled gas of patients and the infection of patients themselves by the inhaled gas.
[0061] Regarding the joint 2, in this embodiment, a pair of joints 2 both adopt screw joints 2a. A screw groove 21 is provided on the outer wall of the screw joint 2a, and a limit groove 22 is provided at the end of the screw groove 21 along the screwing-in direction; in the axial direction of the housing 1, the height of the limit groove 22 is higher than the height of the screw groove 21. Combining Figure 3 , Figure 4 shown, the joint 2 is used in cooperation with an external joint 5 having a convex block 51 at the inner wall. The convex block 51 enters the limit groove 22 along the screw groove 21 to realize the connection between the patient interface and the external device.
[0062] Since the height of the limit groove 22 is higher than the height of the screw groove 21, during the assembly process of the joint 2 and the external joint 5, after the convex block 51 moves along the screw groove 21 to the end, it enters the limit groove 22, which is equivalent to a return process. To ensure the connection tightness and sealing performance between the two, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, a pair of convex ribs 17 arranged in a ring shape are provided on the outer wall of the housing 1. The pair of convex ribs 17 are coaxially arranged with the pair of joints 2 respectively. A space for accommodating the sealing ring 171 is formed between the convex ribs 17 and the outer wall of the joint 2. Furthermore, the sealing ring 171 can not only ensure the rebound of the external joint 5 after the convex block enters the limit groove 22, but also ensure the connection tightness between the joint 2 and the external joint 5 in this application.
[0063] Of course, in other embodiments, as Figure 5As shown, a pair of connectors 2 are used in cooperation with an externally connected screw connector. That is to say, at this time, the externally connected connector 5 is configured as a screw connector. The convex block 51 is arranged on the outer wall of the connector 2, and the screw slot 21 and the limit slot 22 are arranged on the inner wall of the externally connected connector 5. A sealing ring 171 is nested on the outer wall of the housing 1. During the assembly process, the convex block 51 enters the limit slot 22 along the screw slot 21. After the assembly is completed, since the end of the externally connected connector 5 abuts against the sealing ring 171, the convex block 51 is limited in the limit slot 22.
[0064] In the application scenario, one end of the patient interface is used to connect to the ventilator, and the other end is used to connect to the patient; as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 shown, one end of the patient interface connected to the ventilator is also cooperatively connected with an adapter joint 6. One end of the adapter joint 6 far from the externally connected connector 5 is connected with a breathing tube joint 7. The end of the adapter joint 6 cooperating with the externally connected connector is provided with a first limit block 61 distributed in a ring shape. The outer wall of the externally connected connector 5 has a first limit groove 62 arranged in a ring shape for the first limit block 61 to be embedded. Thus, relative rotation can occur between the externally connected connector 5 and the adapter joint 6, ensuring the convenience of application. The wall surface of the end of the adapter joint 6 cooperating with the breathing tube joint 7 is provided with a second limit groove 72, and the wall surface of the breathing tube joint 7 is provided with a second limit block 71 cooperating with the second limit groove 72. As Figure 6 shown, the outer wall of the externally connected connector 5 and / or the adapter joint 6 is provided with a lug 52 for facilitating the application of force during insertion and extraction, improving the convenience of use.
[0065] Furthermore, through the action of the externally connected connector 5, the adapter joint 6, and the breathing tube joint 7, the patient interface can achieve the air path connection between the ventilator and the patient. During the patient's breathing process, taking Figure 2 the direction shown as an example, it is assumed that the upper connector 2 is connected to the patient and the lower connector 2 is connected to the ventilator. As Figure 8 shown, when the patient exhales, the air flow direction is from top to bottom; as Figure 9 shown, when the patient inhales, the air flow direction is from bottom to top. Based on the setting of the flow guiding member 3 and the contour of the housing 1, the gas distribution in the entire housing 1 space is uniform. After being used for a period of time, particles, viruses, and miscellaneous bacteria will accumulate on the filter layer 4. At this time, the patient interface can be directly replaced to prevent the particles, viruses, and miscellaneous bacteria accumulated on the filter layer from causing repeated infections to the patient. When replacing, the externally connected connector 5 can be directly pulled out. Embodiment 2
[0066] As Figure 10 、 Figure 11 shown, a patient interface includes a housing 1, a filter layer 4, and a flow guiding member 3.
[0067] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:
[0068] Both of the pair of connectors 2 adopt 1:40 taper connectors 2b and are used in cooperation with externally connected 1:40 taper connectors. The 1:40 taper connector 2b belongs to an international standard connector and is suitable for quickly establishing ventilation. It can be directly inserted and connected in the usage scenario.
[0069] In this embodiment, based on the setting of the 1:40 taper connector 2b, the tightness of the connection can already be satisfied during the insertion connection. Therefore, there is no need to set a sealing ring. Furthermore, compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment does not need to set Figure 2 the convex rib 17 shown.
[0070] To sum up, in this application, by setting the conical flow guiding member 3 and opening a conical first air flow channel 31 inside it, combined with the slope setting of the inner wall of the housing 1, it is used to guide and disperse the gas, so that part of the gas flows to the middle of the filter layer 4, and part of the gas diverges to the peripheral part of the filter layer 4, ensuring relatively uniform gas dispersion and improving the utilization rate of the filter layer 4; by selecting patient interfaces with different connectors 2, it can be applied to different application scenarios, and the connection is fast and convenient to use.

The purpose is to enable those who are familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and it cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention, the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting.
