[0022] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model embodiment of a disposable laryngeal mask includes a balloon 1 and an inflation tube 2 fixedly connected to one side of the balloon 1. A connector 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the inflation tube 2 opposite to the balloon 1. A circular ring plate 14 is fixedly connected inside the connector 3. A connecting tube 16 is slidably connected inside the circular ring plate 14. An installation plate 6 is movably connected inside the connector 3 and on the side of the circular ring plate 14 near the inflation tube 2. A fixing rod 4 is fixedly connected inside the connector 3 and on the side of the installation plate 6. A spring 5 is fixedly connected between the fixing rod 4 and the installation plate 6. The elastic force of the spring 5 provides a restoring force for the installation plate 6. A circular sealing gasket 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the installation plate 6 near the circular ring plate 14. The sealing gasket 13 seals the connection between the installation plate 6 and the circular ring plate 14, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the inflation tube 2. One end of the connecting pipe 16 near the mounting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting plate 6, and the other end of the connecting pipe 16 is fixedly connected to a pipe body 8 extending to the outside of the connector 3. Multiple air inlets 11 and air outlets 12 are symmetrically and evenly spaced inside the connecting pipe 16. Multiple through holes 7 are symmetrically and evenly spaced inside the connector 3, located on the side of the annular plate 14 away from the mounting plate 6. The through holes 7 are adjacent to the air inlets 11 to ensure communication between the air inlets 11 and the outside air. The air inlets 11, air outlets 12, and through holes 7 are all arranged in a circular array to increase the number of air inlets 11, air outlets 12, and through holes 7, ensuring smooth gas flow. A piston 10 is slidably connected inside the pipe body 8, and a handle 9 extending to the outside of the pipe body 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the piston 10 away from the connecting pipe 16.
[0024] When inflating the balloon 1, the air inlet 11 is positioned opposite the through hole 7 and located on one side of the annular plate 14. At this time, the air outlet 12 is located inside the annular plate 14 and is sealed. Operating the handle 9 moves the piston 10 to the right, allowing for the evacuation of air from the tube 8. After evacuation, the tube 8 is pushed to the left, simultaneously pushing the mounting plate 6 to the left and separating it from the annular plate 14 under the action of the connecting pipe 16. At this time, the air outlet 12 is located between the mounting plate 6 and the annular plate 14, and the air inlet 11 is located inside the annular plate 14 and is sealed. Operating the handle 9 pushes the piston 10 to the left, allowing for the venting of air from the tube 8. Gas can then be delivered to the balloon 1 through the air outlet 12 and the inflation tube 2, thus completing the inflation of the balloon 1. After inflation, releasing the tube 8 allows the mounting plate 6 to reset under the action of the spring 5. The sealing gasket 13 seals the connection between the mounting plate 6 and the annular plate 14, thus achieving a closed state for the balloon 1. The overall structure is simple and easy to operate. Inflation allows the balloon 1 to expand and fit tightly against the patient's throat, making inflation and deflation of the balloon 1 easy to control. This facilitates operation during emergency treatment and anesthesia, making it more convenient to use.
[0025] To ensure the sealing effect of the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12, a sealing ring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the annular plate 14, and the connecting pipe 16 is slidably connected to the sealing ring 15. When the air inlet 11 or the air outlet 12 is located inside the annular plate 14, it is sealed by the sealing ring 15, so that the sealing effect of the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 is better.
[0026] Both the balloon 1 and the inflation tube 2 are made of silicone, while the laryngeal mask is made of latex-free medical-grade silicone rubber, which is soft, comfortable, reduces mucosal damage, and enhances sealing. The sealing gasket 13 and the sealing ring 15 are both made of polyurethane, providing a good seal while being relatively economical and suitable for single use.
[0027] Working principle: When inflating the balloon 1, the air inlet 11 is positioned opposite the through hole 7 and located on one side of the annular plate 14. At this time, the air outlet 12 is located inside the annular plate 14 and is sealed. The operating handle 9 drives the piston 10 to move to the right, which can realize the air extraction operation inside the tube 8. After the air extraction is completed inside the tube 8, push the tube 8 to move to the left. Under the action of the connecting pipe 16, push the mounting plate 6 to move to the left and separate it from the annular plate 14. At this time, the air outlet 12 is located between the mounting plate 6 and the annular plate 14, and the air inlet 11 is located inside the annular plate 14 and is sealed. The operating handle 9 pushes the piston 10 to move to the left, which can realize the air exhaust operation of the tube 8. Thus, gas can be delivered to the inside of the balloon 1 through the air outlet 12 and the inflation pipe 2, thereby completing the inflation of the balloon 1. After inflation, releasing the tube 8 allows the mounting plate 6 to reset under the action of the spring 5. The sealing gasket 13 seals the connection between the mounting plate 6 and the annular plate 14, thus achieving a closed state for the balloon 1. The overall structure is simple and easy to operate. Inflation allows the balloon 1 to expand and fit tightly against the patient's throat, making inflation and deflation of the balloon 1 easy to control. This facilitates operation during emergency treatment and anesthesia, making it more convenient to use.

However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
