[0023] The realization of the utility model's purpose, functional features, and advantages will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-8 This automatic negative pressure suction device for removing obstructed airways consists of a main unit 1 and a mask assembly 2, which are interlocked to form a complete functional unit. When the main unit 1 is working, it generates negative pressure to suction out foreign objects.

[0026] The mask assembly 2 consists of a mask adapter 201, a mask 202, and a mask tubing 203. The mask 202 and the mask adapter 201 must be rigidly inserted as a single unit for use. The mask tubing 203 can be disassembled and replaced as needed. The mask adapter 201 is mainly used to connect the mask fixing component 3, securing the mask 202 and the mask tubing 203. The main function of the mask 202 is to isolate the nasal and oral regions of the asphyxiated person from the outside environment, creating a sealed area in the patient's mouth. Different sizes of mask 202 are provided for different age groups.

[0027] The main function of the mask tube 203 is to quickly transfer the negative pressure suction generated inside the piston cylinder 4 to the obstruction in the airway. The mask tube 203 is available in different sizes to match different sizes of masks 202.

[0028] The main unit 1 consists of a piston cylinder assembly 101, a piston rod assembly 102, and an upper fixed seat assembly 103. The piston cylinder assembly 101 consists of a piston cylinder 4, a mask fixing component 3, an intake one-way valve 5, and an exhaust one-way valve 6.

[0029] The main function of piston cylinder 4 is to fix the intake check valve 5, the exhaust check valve 6, and the mask fixing component 3, and to connect the fixing component assembly 103. The main function of mask fixing component 3 is to connect mask assembly 2. The intake check valve 5 prevents air from entering the mouth through the mask when the piston moves, and prevents strong air pulses from pushing food or objects further down, causing obstructions to enter the victim's airway deeper. The exhaust check valve 6 is located on both sides at the front end of piston cylinder 1. Its function is to quickly vent the air inside the piston cylinder cavity when piston rod 7 moves towards mask 202, creating a vacuum inside piston cylinder 4. Piston rod assembly 102 consists of pressing sleeve 8, piston rod 7, piston spring 9, deceleration buffer 10, and U-shaped sealing ring 11.

[0030] The main function of the pressing sleeve 8 is to connect to the piston rod 7, transmitting the pressing force to the piston rod 7. Simultaneously, the piston rod 7 compresses and stores the piston spring 9. The main function of the piston rod 7 is to install and fix the U-shaped sealing ring 11 and the deceleration damper 10. The main function of the piston spring 9 is to be the power source for the piston module, driving it to generate negative pressure suction. The main function of the deceleration damper 10 is to release the compressed spring when the button is triggered, thus reducing vibration and noise. The main function of the U-shaped sealing ring 11 is to work with the piston rod to create negative pressure inside the piston cylinder.

[0031] The upper fixing base assembly 103 consists of an upper fixing base 10301, a main unit housing 10302, a piston rod fixing component 10303, a button fixing component 10304, and a button spring 10305.

[0032] The main function of the upper fixing seat 10301 is to fix the control unit and screw it onto the piston cylinder to fix the power unit.

[0033] The main unit housing 10302 triggers the release piston module when it moves downwards. The main function of the button holder 10304 is to lock the piston rod 7. The main function of the piston rod holder 10303 is to press down on the button holder 10304, ensuring that the button holder 10304 can slide back and forth without popping out of the upper fixing seat 10301. The main function of the button spring 10305 is to push the button holder 10304 to transmit force and reset the button holder 10304.

[0034] Assembly steps

[0035] The intake check valve 2 and the exhaust check valve 3 are installed into the piston cylinder 4 in the indicated directions, and then the mask fixing piece 3 is installed and secured with screws.

[0036] (like Figure 5 The deceleration buffer 10 and two U-shaped sealing rings 11 are fitted onto the piston rod 7 and secured, and the piston spring 9 is placed into the piston rod 7.

[0037] (like Figure 6 The button spring 10305 is inserted into the button fixing part 10304 and then installed into the upper fixing base 10301.

[0038] Insert the assembled piston rod 7 described in (2) into the assembled piston cylinder 4 described in (1), then press the assembled upper fixing seat 10301 described in (3) to fix the piston rod 7 and piston cylinder 4 together with screws to form a whole. Insert it into the main unit housing 10302 and then insert the piston rod fixing part 10303 and tighten the screws. Then insert the pressing sleeve 8 and tighten the screws to complete the assembly of the main unit 1.

[0039] Pressing the sleeve 8 presses the piston module against the mask end of the piston cylinder 4. The piston module is locked by the button fixing part 10304. The compression spring 9 in the piston cylinder 4 is compressed by the pressing sleeve 8. The button fixing part 10304 triggered by the piston cylinder 4 is in the triggered state. The two exhaust one-way valves 6 on both sides of the front of the piston cylinder 4 open, and the intake one-way valve 5 in the middle of the mask 202 closes. The air inside the piston cylinder 4 will be discharged from the two exhaust one-way valves 6 on the side. At this time, the inside of the piston cylinder 4 is in a vacuum state. Since the intake one-way valve 5 in the middle of the mask 202 is closed, the air inside the piston cylinder 4 will not enter the victim's mouth, thus avoiding strong air pulses that push food or objects further down and cause the obstruction to enter the victim's airway more deeply. When the main unit casing 10302 is triggered, it will push the button fixing part 10304 to move forward, and the piston spring 9 will be released. At this time, the piston spring 9 will instantly lift the piston module away from the mask end of the piston cylinder. At this time, the two exhaust one-way valves 6 on both sides of the front of the piston cylinder will close, and the intake one-way valve 5 in the middle of the mask will open. A negative pressure will be generated instantly in the piston cylinder 4. The instantaneously generated negative pressure will be transmitted to the airway obstruction site of the asphyxiated person through the mask tube 203. Under the action of suction, the airway obstruction will be loosened or cleared from the airway position. When the main unit housing 10302 is subjected to downward force, it slides downward and collides with the button fixing member 10304 at an angle, achieving a 90-degree rotation and sliding. The button fixing member 10304 exits the piston rod slot, and the compressed piston spring 9 is released. For reuse, the pressing sleeve 8 needs to be pressed to press the piston module to the faceplate end to compress the piston spring 9. At the same time, the button spring 10305 pushes the button fixing member 10304 to lock into the piston rod slot. The piston rod slot is located on the inner wall of the main unit housing 10302 and has an inclined top. The top of the button fixing member 10304 is also designed with an inclined surface, resulting in the sliding phenomenon of the button fixing member 10304 colliding with the inclined surface of the main unit housing 10302.

[0040] In emergencies, this invention eliminates the need to spend time searching for a specific trigger button or finding a comfortable hand position and adjusting finger direction. Simply hold the device with the mask aligned with the user's mouth and nose, and regardless of hand position or angle, simply slide the device downwards from the casing to trigger it. Compared to devices with buttons, this invention is more time-efficient and convenient in emergencies. Extensive testing has proven that this design reduces the time required for activation from 8 seconds in existing technologies to approximately 4 seconds, significantly increasing the user's chances of survival.
