[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] See also Figure 1 -- Figure 3 As shown, a temperature-adjustable endotracheal tube comprises a tube body 1, which is commonly made of transparent PVC tubing and has graduated markings on it to facilitate observation of the insertion depth by medical personnel. One end of the tube body 1 is an insertion end with a beveled surface, and the other end is an input end. A Murphy's hole, also known as Murphy's foramen, is provided on one side of the insertion end. This hole is located at the front end of the endotracheal tube, at the end with the longer bevel. This increases ventilation flow, allowing airflow to flow through the Murphy's foramen even when the main opening of the endotracheal tube is blocked by the tracheal wall. The tube body 1 has a curved section near the input end, which is provided with a cylindrical component 2 connected to the tube body 1. A heating assembly 3 is provided within the cylindrical component 2, and an adjustment mechanism 4 is provided on the cylindrical component 2.

[0029] To reduce gas waste, an inner air bag 101 is provided on the outer wall of one side of the insertion end, and an air guide tube connected to the inner air bag 101 is provided on the outer wall of the tube body 1. The air guide tube is separated from the tube body 1 near the bent end and extends 10-30 cm. An outer air bag 102 is connected to the air guide tube of the air guide tube. A one-way valve mechanism is provided on the outer air bag 102. The outer air bag 102 is used to judge the internal air pressure after inflation. The one-way valve mechanism used in conjunction with the outer air bag 102 is a commonly used combination mechanism. When in use, gas can be directly injected with a syringe.

[0030] The heating component 3 includes an armored member 301 supported in the cylindrical member 2, and a resistance wire 302 insulated and laminated with the armored member 301, which can enhance the mechanical strength.

[0031] The armor member 301 is a plate-shaped member and is spirally embedded in the cylindrical member 2, which can expand the supporting area.

[0032] Positive and negative electrode bumps are respectively provided on the two opposite side outer walls of the cylindrical component 2. One side of the positive and negative electrode bumps is respectively connected to the resistance wire 302 closest to the corresponding distance, so that heat can be generated by the resistance wire 302.

[0033] The outside of the negative electrode protrusion on one side is connected through a negative electrode power supply. The adjustment mechanism 4 is installed on the outside of the cylindrical part 2, including a clamp 411. The clamp 411 is fixed on both sides of the positive electrode protrusion. A conductive adjustment strip 412 is slidably clamped between the clamps 411. One side of the adjustment strip 412 is in contact with the positive electrode protrusion. A handle-shaped piece 413 is provided at the top of the adjustment strip 412. The adjustment strip 412 needs to be connected to an external positive electrode power supply. The external power supply needs to have a safe and appropriate voltage and current output, so that the heating value of the resistance wire 302 can be easily adjusted.

[0034] During use, when the temperature inside the endotracheal tube needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to push the adjustment bar 412 to form a passage between the adjustment bar 412 and the negative electrode protrusion on the opposite side. As the adjustment bar 412 continues to move, the resistance wire 302 located between the positive electrode protrusion and the negative electrode protrusion can generate heat.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] See also Figure 3 As shown, based on Example 1, this embodiment divides the heating resistance wire 302 into multiple independent individuals, integrates the energized end to one side, and the armor 301 is in the shape of a ring plate. The head and tail ends of the resistance wire 302 are close to each other and extend from the same side to the outer wall of the cylinder to form an electrode block. This can further facilitate use and make the component structure more compact and neat.

[0037] The adjustment mechanism 4 is installed on the outside of the cylindrical part 2, and includes a clamp part 411. The clamp part 411 is fixed on both sides of the electrode block. A conductive adjustment strip 412 is slidably clamped between the clamp parts 411. The adjustment strip 412 is composed of independent strips insulated from each other and can contact the corresponding side walls of the electrode block respectively. A handle-shaped part 413 is provided at the top of the adjustment strip 412, which can facilitate operation by medical personnel.

[0038] During use, the number of connected resistance wires 302 can be changed by simply moving the adjustment bar 412 .

[0039] Example 3

[0040] See also Figure 5-Figure 8As shown, this embodiment proposes another adjustment mechanism 4 based on Example 1, which adjusts the resistance wire 302 connected to the circuit by rotation. The adjustment mechanism 4 is installed on the top of the cylindrical part 2. The adjustment mechanism 4 is a screw cover 421 that is rotatably clamped on the top of the cylindrical part 2. The top of the screw cover 421 is provided with a conductive sheet 422 that contacts the resistance wire 302. The top of the cylindrical part 2 is provided with a concave point corresponding to the heating wire in the heating wire group, and the top of the screw cover 421 is provided with a convex point 423 used in conjunction with the concave point. The conductive sheet 422 needs to be connected to the positive pole of the external power supply, and the other end of the mutual connection needs to be connected to the negative pole of the external power supply, so that medical staff can easily adjust the temperature.

[0041] The heating component 3 is a separate resistance wire 302, which is spirally embedded in the cylindrical part 2. There are more than two resistance wires 302, which are located at one end of the cylindrical part 2 and are connected to each other to form a heating wire group. One end of the resistance wire 302 extends to the top of the cylindrical part 2, so that it is convenient to use the resistance wire 302 for heating.

[0042] When in use, one only needs to rotate the screw cap 421 to disengage the current protrusion 423 and then engage the next concave point. The corresponding conductive sheet 422 can then contact one end of the next resistance wire 302, thereby changing the overall heating value. In actual applications, multiple heating wire groups can be spirally overlapped to improve the precision of temperature regulation.
