The strip-shaped soft glue 101 is respectively in contact with the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 9. The strip-shaped soft glue 101 increases the sealing of the connection between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 9.
[0034] See also Figures 3 to 8 The outer wall of the upper shell 1 is fixedly connected with a positioning column 107, and the outer wall of the lower shell 9 is fixedly connected with a positioning hole 901.

The interior of the high-pressure oxygen connector 109 is equipped with a high-pressure oxygen connector plug 11, which is used as needed. The lower shell 9 is provided with a lower shell fan compartment air inlet 904 on the same side as the upper shell fan compartment air inlet 104.

[0037] The upper shell 1 is internally provided with an upper shell air duct 106, which communicates with the upper shell fan compartment air inlet 104. The lower shell 9 is internally provided with a lower shell air duct 903, which communicates with the lower shell fan compartment air inlet 904.

[0038] Working Principle: Fan 3 is installed within upper shell fan compartment 105 and lower shell fan compartment 906, formed by upper shell 1 and lower shell 9. The wave rib elastic body 102 and rubber column elastic body 103 in upper shell 1 work together to fully limit the fan 3 in the X, Y, and Z directions, ensuring that the fan 3 does not move excessively during transportation, handling, and speed-changing operation, thereby maintaining operational stability and reliability.
[0039] The gas is delivered through lower housing air duct 903 and upper housing air duct 106 to upper housing fan compartment air inlet 104 and lower housing fan compartment air inlet 904, and then enters upper housing fan compartment 105 and lower housing fan compartment 906 inside the turbine housing. Upon receiving a control signal, fan 3 starts, compressing the gas and delivering it to turbine housing outlet 907, ultimately supplying the inhalation component of the non-invasive ventilator.
[0040] The turbine air inlet sealing ring 8 ensures that the gas will not leak when entering the turbine housing, while the sealing ring 10 at the air outlet of the fan 3 adopts an axial sealing design, which can adapt to the differences in mold parts, effectively prevent gas leakage at the air outlet of the fan 3, and improve oxygen utilization.
[0041] The turbine housing assembly provides a high-pressure oxygen connector 109 and a low-pressure oxygen connector 108 to adapt to the needs of different types of non-invasive ventilators. When the device does not need high-pressure oxygen, it can be blocked by the high-pressure oxygen connector plug 11 to avoid wasting oxygen.
[0042] The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 9 are precisely assembled by the positioning posts 107 and the positioning holes 901, ensuring the stability of the overall structure and function of the turbine shell assembly. At the same time, the installation of the strip soft rubber 101 enhances the sealing between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 9, preventing gas leakage.

Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations.
