Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of humidification tank technology, specifically a respiratory therapy humidification tank. Background Technology
[0002] A humidifier is a device used to atomize or humidify liquids (usually water or other liquids). It plays a role in various industries and applications, including pharmaceuticals, chemical engineering, environmental control, and manufacturing. The main function of a humidifier is to introduce liquid into an airflow through spraying or evaporation, thereby increasing air humidity or providing the necessary humidity conditions for a production process. Furthermore, humidifiers serve as an important treatment tool for critically ill patients with lung diseases, enabling respiratory therapy.
[0003] Currently, commonly used humidification canisters are equipped with a locking plate. During use, the humidification canister is secured to the connection slot on the therapeutic device via the locking plate. While this restricts the position of the humidification canister, the height of the connection slot varies between different models of therapeutic devices. This difference in height can cause a gap between the locking plate and the connection slot on the therapeutic device. Consequently, the humidification canister connected to the therapeutic device is prone to shaking under stress. This shaking causes the liquid inside the humidification canister to slosh around. If the sloshing of the liquid inside the humidification canister is too large, it can cause the atomized water vapor produced by the humidification canister to stop intermittently.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a humidifier for respiratory therapy to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Example
[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a humidification tank for respiratory therapy, including a humidification tank body 1. A plug-in base plate 2 is fixedly provided on the lower end face of the humidification tank body 1. A first fixing ring 3, a second fixing ring 4, and a third fixing ring 5 are fixedly provided on the lower end face of the plug-in base plate 2. The diameters of the first fixing ring 3, the second fixing ring 4, and the third fixing ring 5 increase sequentially.
[0029] A top plate 6 is provided below the bottom plate 2. A plug-in block 7 is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the top plate 6. The position of the plug-in block 7 corresponds to that of the first fixing ring 3. The plug-in block 7 is inserted into the first fixing ring 3. A plug-in ring 8 is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the top plate 6. The plug-in block 7 is located inside the plug-in ring 8. The arrangement of the plug-in block 7 and the first fixing ring 3 serves to guide the top plate 6 when it moves up and down.
[0030] A plurality of compression springs 9 are fixedly provided on the lower end face of the plug-in base plate 2. The plurality of compression springs 9 are arranged in a circumferential array and are located between the second fixing ring 4 and the third fixing ring 5. The top end of the plug-in ring 8 is inserted between the second fixing ring 4 and the third fixing ring 5. One end of the compression spring 9 is fixedly connected to the plug-in ring 8 inserted between the second fixing ring 4 and the third fixing ring 5.
[0031] The humidification tank 1 can be installed on different models of therapeutic instruments by setting up the second fixing ring 4, the third fixing ring 5, the compression spring 9, the plug-in top plate 6, and the plug-in ring 8. This can avoid the humidification tank 1 shaking under force due to gaps at the connection between the humidification tank 1 and the therapeutic instrument. The shaking of the humidification tank 1 during use causes the liquid inside the humidification tank 1 to shake. Excessive shaking of the liquid inside the humidification tank 1 will cause the atomized water vapor produced by the humidification tank 1 to stop intermittently.
[0032] The outer wall of the humidification tank 1 is provided with a mating groove 10, which is located above the insertion base plate 2. A humidification tank connecting pipe 11 is fixedly provided on the upper end face of the humidification tank 1, and two humidification tank connecting pipes 11 are provided in sequence. The mating groove 10 can reduce the gap between the humidification tank 1 and the treatment device.
[0033] A liquid inlet pipe 12 is fixedly provided on one side of the upper end face of the humidification tank 1. Two limiting protrusions 13 are fixedly provided on the outer wall surface of the liquid inlet pipe 12. A connecting ring 14 is provided between the two limiting protrusions 13. A connecting band 15, which is an elastic rubber band, is fixedly provided on the connecting ring 14. A pipe cap 16 is fixedly provided at the end of the connecting band 15 away from the connecting ring 14. The pipe cap 16 covers the liquid inlet pipe 12. The pipe cap 16 is provided to seal the liquid inlet pipe 12, and the connecting ring 14 and the connecting band 15 are provided to restrict the pipe cap 16.
[0034] A filter cylinder 17 is fixedly installed inside the humidification tank 1. The filter cylinder 17 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 12, and a float 18 is provided inside the filter cylinder 17. A float rod 19 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the float 18. The end of the float rod 19 away from the float 18 is inserted into the liquid inlet pipe 12, and a sealing ball 20 is fixedly installed on the float rod 19. The filter cylinder 17 is used to filter the water injected into the humidification tank 1. The arrangement of the float 18, float rod 19, and sealing ball 20 ensures that the water level in the humidification tank 1 does not exceed the maximum value.
[0035] The working principle of this practical application is as follows:
[0036] When using this device, place the top plate 6 on the humidification tank 1 into the placement slot on the therapeutic instrument. Then move the humidification tank 1 so that the bottom plate 2 and the top plate 6 on the humidification tank 1 are inserted into the connection slot on the therapeutic instrument to complete the connection between the humidification tank 1 and the therapeutic instrument. At this time, insert the humidification tank adapter into the humidification tank connecting pipe 11 on the humidification tank 1, open the pipe cap 16 on the inlet pipe 12, insert the injection pipe into the inlet pipe 12, and add sterile water into the humidification tank 1 through the inlet pipe 12. Then, atomize the water in the humidification tank 1 and deliver it to the therapeutic instrument through the humidification tank adapter. The therapeutic instrument processes the atomized water and delivers it to the patient. If the height of the connection slot on the therapeutic instrument is small, press down on the humidification tank 1, and the humidification tank 1 will move the bottom plate 2 and the top plate 6 into the connection slot on the therapeutic instrument. The base plate 2 moves towards the placement slot on the treatment device. During the movement, the spring 9 is compressed and contracts, shortening the distance between the humidification tank 1 and the top plate 6. When the humidification tank 1 and the top plate 6 can be inserted into the connection slot on the treatment device, they are then inserted into the connection slot. As water is continuously added to the humidification tank 1, the liquid level in the humidification tank 1 rises accordingly. This rise in the liquid level in the humidification tank 1 causes the float 18 to rise as well. The rise of the float 18 causes the sealing ball 20 to rise via the float rod 19. When the sealing ball 20 is positioned at the inlet of the liquid inlet pipe 12 on the humidification tank 1, the liquid inlet pipe 12 stops injecting water into the humidification tank 1. This effectively prevents the water level in the humidification tank 1 from exceeding its maximum value.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
