[0021] 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.
[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Figure 4 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail.
[0023] Example 1, by Figure 1 - Figure 4 The present invention includes a protective sleeve 1. To facilitate the protection of different types of ventilator tubing, the protective sleeve 1 has an opening 2 on its front side. Inside the protective sleeve 1, there is an elastic wire 3 for limiting the bending angle of the protective sleeve 1. Inside the protective sleeve 1, there is a heating wire 4. The left and right sides of the heating wire 4 are respectively connected to a first connecting mechanism 5 and a second connecting mechanism 6. A first protective element 7 is provided on the left side of the first connecting mechanism 5, and a second protective element 8 is provided on the right side of the second connecting mechanism 6. The elastic wire 3 is made of spring material and has a certain elasticity, which can limit the complete angle of the ventilator tubing inside the protective sleeve 1 and reduce the probability of damage due to excessive bending.
[0024] In use, the protective sleeve 1 has a C-shaped cross-section due to the placement opening 2. When it is necessary to use the device to fix the ventilator tubing, the ventilator tubing can be inserted into the protective sleeve 1 through the placement opening 2. At this time, the tubing can be protected against bending by the elastic wire 3. In addition, when condensation occurs in the tubing, the ventilator tubing inside the protective sleeve 1 can be heated by the heating wire 4 to reduce the generation of condensation. When the length of one protective sleeve 1 is insufficient, multiple protective sleeves 1 can be connected in sequence. At this time, the first connecting mechanism 5 of each protective sleeve 1 cooperates with the second connecting mechanism 6 on the adjacent side, so that multiple protective sleeves 1 can be interlocked into a whole. In use, the first protective component 7 and the second protective component 8 can protect the first connecting mechanism 5 and the second connecting mechanism 6.
[0025] Furthermore, in order to enable multiple protective sleeves 1 to be connected to each other for use, the first connecting mechanism 5 includes a first connecting block 9 and a first gasket 10. A first connecting groove 11 is provided on the left side of the first connecting block 9. The first gasket 10 is disposed inside the first connecting groove 11. The first gasket 10 is electrically connected to the left end of the heating wire 4. A first protective pad 12 is fixedly connected to each end of the first gasket 10.
[0026] Furthermore, to facilitate operation by staff, the second connecting mechanism 6 includes a second connecting block 13 and a second gasket 14. A second protrusion 15 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second connecting block 13, and the second gasket 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second protrusion 15. The second gasket 14 is fixedly connected to the right end of the heating wire 4, and a second protective pad 16 is fixedly connected to each end of the second protrusion 15.
[0027] It should be noted that a positioning protrusion is fixedly connected to the middle of the second gasket 14, and a positioning groove is provided inside the first connecting groove 11. The positioning protrusion can cooperate with the positioning groove to reduce the relative rotation between the first connecting mechanism 5 and the second connecting mechanism 6 when they are engaged. The first connecting block 9 and the second connecting block 13, as well as the first protective pad 12 and the second protective pad 16, are all made of insulating rubber. The first connecting block 9 and the second connecting block 13 each have a section of wire inside, which is used to connect the heating wire 4 to the first gasket 10 and the second gasket 14.
[0028] When multiple protective sleeves 1 need to be connected in sequence, the second connecting mechanism 6 of the left protective sleeve 1 will cooperate with the first connecting mechanism 5 of the right protective sleeve 1. At this time, the second protrusion 15 and the second gasket 14 will be engaged together inside the first connecting groove 11, thereby cooperating the first connecting mechanism 5 and the second connecting mechanism 6.
[0029] In addition, in order for the heating wire 4 to operate normally when multiple protective sleeves 1 are connected in series, since the first gasket 10 is connected to the left end of the heating wire 4 and the second gasket 14 is connected to the right end of the heating wire 4, when the first gasket 10 and the second gasket 14 of two adjacent protective sleeves 1 come into contact, the two adjacent heating wires 4 can also be connected, so that the heating wires 4 in multiple protective sleeves 1 can be used.
[0030] It should be noted that both the first gasket 10 and the second gasket 14 are made of conductive material.
[0031] Furthermore, in order to increase the safety performance when the device is used, the first protective component 7 includes a first protective block 17, a first protective protrusion 18 is fixedly connected to the right side of the first protective block 17, the first protective protrusion 18 is adapted to the first connecting mechanism 5, and a first connecting line 19 is fixedly connected to the left side of the first protective block 17.
[0032] Furthermore, to facilitate the use of the device, the second protective component 8 includes a second protective block 20, a second protective groove 21 is provided on the left side of the second protective block 20, the second protective groove 21 is adapted to the second connecting mechanism 6, and a second connecting line 22 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second protective block 20.
[0033] It should be noted that both the first protective block 17 and the second protective block 20 are made of insulating material. Both the first protective block 17 and the second protective block 20 have a wire inside, which is used to connect the first connecting wire 19 and the second connecting wire 22 to the corresponding first gasket 10 and second gasket 14.
[0034] When multiple protective sleeves 1 are fitted together on the ventilator tubing, the unnecessary first protective element 7 and second protective element 8 can be removed and restricted, leaving only the first protective element 7 and second protective element 8 at both ends of the multiple protective sleeves 1 combined into a whole. At this time, the first protective element 7 and second protective element 8 are connected to the power supply to energize the heating wire 4, which can heat the ventilator tubing inside the protective sleeve 1, thereby reducing the generation of condensate.
[0035] Furthermore, in order to facilitate fixing the ventilator tubing in a suitable position, a connecting strap 23 is fixedly connected to the outside of the protective sleeve 1, and the two ends of the connecting strap 23 are respectively provided with a first Velcro 24 and a second Velcro 25;
[0036] When in use, the corresponding protective cover 1 can be installed in a suitable position (such as a ventilator, patient bed, etc.) by connecting the strap 23 with the first hook and loop fastener 24 and the second hook and loop fastener 25, which is convenient for staff and patients to maintain.
[0037] In use, the protective sleeve 1 is first designed with an opening 2 to form a C-shape. When the device is needed to fix the ventilator tubing, the tubing can be inserted into the protective sleeve 1 through the opening 2. The tubing is then protected against bending by the elastic wire 3. In addition, when condensation occurs in the tubing, the heating wire 4 can be used to heat the ventilator tubing inside the protective sleeve 1 to reduce condensation. When the length of one protective sleeve 1 is insufficient, multiple protective sleeves 1 can be connected in sequence. In this case, the first connecting mechanism 5 of each protective sleeve 1 cooperates with the second connecting mechanism 6 on the adjacent side, so that multiple protective sleeves 1 can be interlocked into a whole. In use, the first protective component 7 and the second protective component 8 can protect the first connecting mechanism 5 and the second connecting mechanism 6.
[0038] This utility model has a novel structure, ingenious design, and simple and convenient operation. Through this design, it effectively achieves the purpose of conveniently protecting the tubing of different models of ventilators. It enables multiple protective sleeves 1 to be connected and used together, and maintains the normal heating of the heating wire 4. It facilitates the operation of the staff, increases the safety performance of the device during use, and makes it convenient to use the device and fix the ventilator tubing.
