Description
Technical Field

[0002] Mechanical ventilation has always been one of the most important treatments for saving patients with diseases such as adult ARDS. However, the related lung injury caused by mechanical ventilation is a serious clinical problem affecting the prognosis of patients. If this important treatment method of mechanical ventilation is used improperly, it can cause or exacerbate lung injury. Therefore, when performing mechanical ventilation on patients, it is necessary to consider lung compliance to avoid damaging the lungs.
[0003] Lung compliance refers to the change in lung volume caused by a unit change in pressure, which represents the impact of the change in thoracic pressure on lung volume. Since the thoracic cavity is airtight, it is difficult to measure the intrathoracic pressure. The change in intrathoracic pressure is similar to the esophageal pressure. Therefore, by measuring the esophageal pressure, the intrathoracic pressure can be obtained. Thus, during the research and development process of ventilators, it is necessary to simulate the esophageal pressure to better adjust the corresponding parameters or structures of the ventilator to improve the synchronization between the patient and the ventilator.
[0004] Currently, the simulation of esophageal pressure is easily affected by various factors. The device for simulating esophageal pressure has a complex structure, high cost, or can only be simply adjusted and cannot be adjusted according to the breathing rhythm. Summary of the Utility Model

[0032] Embodiment 1
[0033] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a pneumatic connection device 100, including:
[0034] a tank body 101 and a cover 102 provided on the tank body 101;
[0035] Four openings communicating the inside and outside of the tank body 101 are respectively provided on the cover 102. A first joint 103, a second joint 104, a third joint 105 and a fourth joint 106 facing outside the tank body 101 are provided on the four openings, and a fifth joint 107 and a sixth joint 108 facing the inner cavity of the tank body 101 are provided on the two openings. Among them, the second joint 104 and the fifth joint 107 are communicated, and the third joint 105 and the sixth joint 108 are communicated.
[0036] The tank body 101 divides the inside and outside of the tank body 101 into two spaces. The tank body 101 simulates the human chest cavity, and the inside of the tank body 101 simulates the internal environment of the human chest cavity. The first joint 103, the second joint 104, the third joint 105, the fourth joint 106, the fifth joint 107 and the sixth joint 108 can be respectively connected to different devices or apparatuses to simulate the air pressure state in the chest cavity. The structure is simple and convenient for observation.
[0037] In one embodiment, both the first joint 103 and the second joint 104 are quick-connect joints. It is convenient to connect to external devices.
[0038] In yet another embodiment, the third joint 105, the fourth joint 106, the fifth joint 107, and the sixth joint 108 are tapered joints. The tapered joints have good airtight connection and are not prone to air leakage.
[0039] In another embodiment, the tank body 101 and the cover 102 are detachably connected by a fastening structure, which facilitates the connection of the fifth joint 107 and the sixth joint 108 provided in the tank body 101.
[0040] In one embodiment, a sealing structure is provided between the tank body 101 and the cover 102 to ensure the airtightness of the tank body 101 and prevent air leakage from the tank body 101.
[0041] Embodiment 2
[0042] As Figure 2 shown, an esophageal pressure monitoring device, characterized in that it includes the air pressure connection device 100 of Embodiment 1, two air bags, and a first ventilator 301. The fifth joint 107 and the sixth joint 108 are respectively connected to the air bags, the third joint 105 is connected to the first ventilator 301, and the first joint 103 and the fourth joint 106 are respectively connected to the plugs.
[0043] The air bags are sac-shaped and made of a material with a certain elasticity. When inflated, the air bags expand; when deflated, the air bags contract; when subjected to external pressure, the air bags are indented and deformed.
[0044] The first joint 103 and the fourth joint 106 are respectively connected to the plugs to avoid gas exchange with the outside world, so as to ensure the airtightness inside the tank body 101 and better simulate the thoracic cavity environment.
[0045] The two air bags are respectively a first air bag 201 and a second air bag 202. The first air bag 201 is connected to the sixth joint 108, and the third joint 105 communicating with the sixth joint 108 is connected to the first ventilator 301. That is, the first air bag 201 is communicated with the first ventilator 301 through the sixth joint 108 and the third joint 105. When the first ventilator 301 exhales, the first air bag 201 expands; when the first ventilator 301 inhales, the first air bag 201 contracts.
[0046] The second joint 104 is connected to the outside world, and the air pressure in the second leather bag 202 is consistent with the outside atmospheric pressure. The first ventilator 301 is turned on. When the first ventilator 301 exhales, the first leather bag 201 expands. Since the tank body 101 is isolated from the outside world, the expanded first leather bag 201 squeezes the original gas in the tank body 101, so that the air pressure in the tank body 101 increases. When the air pressure in the tank body 101 is greater than the outside atmospheric pressure, the gas in the tank body 101 squeezes the outer wall of the second leather bag 202, so that the second leather bag 202 shrinks and deforms. When the first ventilator 301 inhales, the first leather bag 201 shrinks, and the shrinking first leather bag 201 squeezes less gas in the tank body 101, so that the air pressure in the tank body 101 decreases. When the air pressure in the tank body 101 is less than the outside atmospheric pressure, the second leather bag 202 expands.
[0047] In this embodiment, the tank body 101 simulates the human chest cavity, the first bag 201 simulates the human lungs, and expands and contracts following the connected first ventilator 301, while the second bag 202 contracts or expands accordingly. The two bag lungs expand or contract in opposite directions, thereby simulating the compression of the chest cavity on the lungs during human breathing, making it easier to observe the corresponding breathing process.
[0048] Embodiment 3
[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, based on the second embodiment, it further includes a second ventilator 302 , and the second ventilator 302 is connected to the second connector 104 .
[0050] The second joint 104 is connected to the ventilator, and the second leather bag 202 is connected to the ventilator through the fifth joint 107 and the second joint 104. The air pressure and frequency in the second leather bag 202 are adjusted by the second ventilator 302. When the volume of the first leather bag 201 remains unchanged, the air pressure of the second leather bag 202 is proportional to the volume of the second leather bag 202, and the volume of the second leather bag 202 is proportional to the air pressure in the tank body 101. The larger the volume of the second leather bag 202, the greater the compression of the gas in the tank body 101, and the greater the air pressure in the tank body 101. The smaller the volume of the second leather bag 202, the smaller the compression of the gas in the tank body 101, and the smaller the air pressure in the tank body 101. The air pressure in the second leather bag 202 can be adjusted by the connected air pressure device, and then the air pressure in the tank body 101 can be adjusted.
[0051] Turn on the first ventilator 301. When the ventilator exhales, the first bellows 201 expands. Since the tank body 101 is isolated from the outside world, the expanding first bellows 201 squeezes the original gas inside the tank body 101, increasing the air pressure inside the tank body 101. When the air pressure inside the tank body 101 is greater than the air pressure provided by the second ventilator 302 to the second bellows 202, the gas inside the tank body 101 squeezes the outer wall of the second bellows 202, causing the second bellows 202 to contract and deform.
[0052] In this embodiment, the contraction or expansion directions of the first bellows 201 and the second bellows 202 are opposite. The air pressure parameters inside the tank body 101 can be indirectly adjusted by adjusting the air pressure and frequency of the second ventilator 302 to adapt to tests with different parameter requirements, so as to more directly simulate the squeezing of the lungs by the thoracic cavity during human breathing.
[0053] Embodiment 4
[0054] As Figure 4 shown, this embodiment provides an esophageal pressure monitoring device, including the air pressure connection device 100 of Embodiment 1, two bellows. Bellows are respectively connected to the fourth joint 106 and the sixth joint 108, the third joint 105 is connected to the ventilator, and the first joint 103 and the second joint 104 are respectively connected to plugs.
[0055] The first joint 103 and the second joint 104 are respectively connected to plugs to avoid gas exchange with the outside world, so as to ensure the airtightness inside the tank body 101 and better simulate the environment of the thoracic cavity.
[0056] The two bellows are respectively the third bellows 203 and the fourth bellows 204. The fourth bellows 204 is connected to the sixth joint 108, and the third joint 105 communicating with the sixth joint 108 is connected to the first ventilator 301, that is, the fourth bellows 204 is communicated with the first ventilator 301 through the sixth joint 108 and the third joint 105. When the first ventilator 301 exhales, the fourth bellows 204 expands, and when the first ventilator 301 inhales, the fourth bellows 204 contracts.
[0057] The third bladder 203 is connected to the fourth joint 106, the inner cavity of the third bladder 203 is connected to the tank body 101, and the outer wall of the third bladder 203 is in contact with the external environment. When the fourth bladder 204 expands, it squeezes the gas in the tank body 101, so that the air pressure in the tank body 101 increases. Since the third bladder 203 is connected to the tank body 101, the air pressure in the tank body 101 increases, the air pressure in the inner cavity of the third bladder 203 increases, and the third bladder 203 expands. When the fourth bladder 204 shrinks, the space occupied by the gas in the tank body 101 becomes larger, so that the air pressure in the tank body 101 decreases. Since the third bladder 203 is connected to the tank body 101, the air pressure in the tank body 101 decreases, the air pressure in the inner cavity of the third bladder 203 decreases, and the third bladder 203 shrinks.
[0058] In this embodiment, the tank body 101 simulates the human chest cavity, and the fourth bladder 204 simulates the human lungs, which expand and contract with the connected ventilator, simulating the compression of the lungs by the chest cavity during human breathing, which is convenient for observing the corresponding breathing process. The third bladder 203 is arranged outside the tank body 101, and has the same expansion and contraction direction as the fourth bladder 204, which is more convenient for observation.

[0061] The pressure tool 303 in this embodiment is a device for adjusting pressure, and specifically can be a common pressure supply device such as a pressure pump and a press.
[0062] The second joint 104 and the fourth joint 106 are connected to plugs respectively to avoid gas exchange with the outside, so as to ensure the airtightness of the inside of the tank body 101 and better simulate the environment of the chest cavity.
[0063] The first joint 103 is connected to the pressure fixture 303 , so that the pressure fixture 303 is communicated with the inner cavity of the tank body 101 , and the pressure in the tank body 101 is adjusted by the pressure fixture 303 .
[0064] The sixth joint 108 is connected to a leather bag, and the third joint 105 connected to the sixth joint 108 is connected to the first ventilator 301, that is, the leather bag is connected to the first ventilator 301 through the sixth joint 108 and the third joint 105. When the first ventilator 301 exhales, the leather bag expands, and when the first ventilator 301 inhales, the leather bag contracts. Specifically, the connected leather bag is the first leather bag 201.
[0065] In this embodiment, the pressure in the tank body 101 can be adjusted by the pressure tooling 303, so as to simulate the influence of different compliances of the human body on breathing.
