[0026] Specifically: Tube fitting 2 is used to connect the metal tracheostomy tube, while the first fitting 3 and the second fitting 4 represent fittings for two different devices, facilitating switching and installation. The left interface 5 is used to install the first fitting 3 and the second fitting 4. The upper thread 6 and the lower thread 7 of the left interface 5 correspond to the installation of the first machine head and the second fitting 4, respectively. The inner cavity of the sealing groove 9 can be adapted to the surfaces of the first sealing ring 10, the second sealing ring 14, and the third sealing ring 16. The upper thread 6 of the left interface 5 is used to connect to the standard interface of the ventilator, and the lower thread 7 is used to connect to the high-pressure interface of the hyperbaric oxygen equipment. The two devices can be quickly switched by rotating the left interface 5. When the first fitting 3 or the second fitting 4 is connected by threads, the inner sealing ring 12 and the sealing groove 9 form a double seal to prevent high-pressure gas leakage. The inner cavity of the adapter 1 is connected to the tube fitting 2 and the first fitting 3 or the second fitting 4 through the through hole of the sealing sleeve 8, realizing unidirectional gas transmission.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 Based on embodiment 1, a right interface 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the adapter 1. The inner cavity of the right interface 11 is threadedly connected to the surface of the sleeve connector 2. Inner sealing rings 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the sealing sleeve 8. One side of the inner sealing ring 12 is in contact with one side of the first connector 3 or one side of the sleeve connector 2. A sealing ring 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sleeve connector 2. A second sealing ring 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing ring 13. One side of the second sealing ring 14 is in contact with the inner cavity of the sealing groove 9. A retaining ring 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first connector 3.

Medical staff do not need to change the adapter; they can quickly switch devices simply by connecting the threads, which significantly shortens the rescue time.

[0031] The inner cavity of the adapter is equipped with a sealing sleeve 8, and both sides of the sealing sleeve 8 are provided with inner sealing rings 12 to ensure airtightness at the connection with the first connector 3 or the sleeve connector 2. At the same time, the sealing groove 9, together with the first sealing ring 10, the second sealing ring 14, and the third sealing ring 16, further enhances the airtightness and prevents gas leakage. The sealing components are made of medical-grade materials, which are corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, adaptable to complex working environments, and ensure safety for long-term use.

[0032] The inner cavity of the sealing sleeve 8 has a through hole for connecting the tube sleeve connector 2 to the first connector 3 or the second connector 4, ensuring smooth airflow. When connected to a ventilator, airflow is transmitted through the first connector 3; when connected to a hyperbaric oxygen device, airflow is transmitted through the second connector 4. With the threaded connection design, medical staff can quickly disassemble and install the first connector 3 or the second connector 4 without the need for tools. The operation is simple and can be quickly switched in emergency rescue scenarios to ensure that patients receive timely treatment.
