Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a sustainable fully automated humidification device. Background Technology

[0002] Respiratory humidification therapy equipment (such as ventilators) is generally equipped with a replaceable humidification box. The humidification box, the main unit of the heated humidification respiratory equipment and the tubing components often need to be used together and connected in a sealed manner.

[0003] Existing humidification devices, such as the electrical adapter and humidification therapy equipment using the electrical adapter disclosed in utility model patent application number 202020369109.3, mainly include an air inlet adapter, an air outlet adapter, and an adapter body connecting the air inlet adapter and the air outlet adapter. The air inlet adapter has an air inlet electrical terminal around its air inlet port, and the air outlet adapter has an air outlet electrical terminal around its air outlet port. The air inlet electrical terminal and the air outlet electrical terminal are electrically connected. In use, the gas output from the main unit of the humidification therapy equipment enters the air inlet adapter from the first port of the electrical adapter, connects to the air inlet of the humidification box, and after being humidified inside the humidification box, the gas flows out from the air outlet of the humidification box, enters the air outlet adapter, and is then transported to the patient via the passage of the heating device.

[0004] However, existing humidification devices are prone to water shortages, making it difficult for nurses to observe changes in the water level inside the device in a timely manner, which can easily lead to humidification gaps. Moreover, most existing humidification devices do not monitor the discharged air, which may result in the output of overheated and overhumidified air when the device malfunctions, causing discomfort to patients. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a sustainable fully automated humidification device that can not only automatically detect and replenish water levels, saving medical staff the trouble of frequently checking and replenishing water, but also detect the temperature and humidity of the discharged oxygen to avoid causing discomfort to patients due to excessively high temperatures.

[0006] This utility model discloses a sustainable fully automated humidification device, including a control mechanism; it also includes a water storage mechanism, a water delivery mechanism, a detection mechanism, and an exhaust mechanism. The water storage mechanism is installed on the control mechanism and humidifies and heats the oxygen; the water delivery mechanism is installed on the water storage mechanism and supplies water into it; the detection mechanism is installed on the water storage mechanism and detects the water level; the exhaust mechanism is installed on the water storage mechanism and detects the emitted oxygen. A ventilator is connected to the inside of the water storage mechanism. The water delivery mechanism is activated to deliver clean water into the water storage mechanism. The water storage mechanism heats the water, mixing water vapor and oxygen to increase the humidity and temperature of the oxygen. The exhaust mechanism detects the temperature and humidity of the emitted oxygen and can regulate the output volume. When the detection mechanism detects a drop in the water level in the water storage mechanism, it automatically starts the water delivery mechanism to replenish water to the storage mechanism, avoiding affecting the humidification effect.

[0007] Preferably, the control mechanism includes a controller, four sets of adjustable legs, a display screen, and a heating plate. The bottom of the controller is connected to the top of the four sets of adjustable legs, and the bottom of the four sets of adjustable legs is in contact with the working surface. The display screen is mounted on the controller, and the heating plate is mounted on the controller. By adjusting the four sets of adjustable legs, the controller is kept horizontal. The operator controls the humidification of oxygen through the display screen and turns on the heating plate to heat the water and oxygen stored in the water storage mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the water storage mechanism includes a water storage cylinder, a connecting pipe, a sealing sleeve, and a check valve. The bottom end of the water storage cylinder is connected to the top end of the controller. The inside of the water storage cylinder is provided with a cavity. The connecting pipe is installed on the water storage cylinder and communicates with the inside of the cavity. The sealing sleeve is installed on the connecting pipe, and the check valve is installed on the sealing sleeve. The operator connects the connecting pipe to the exhaust pipe of the ventilator. The sealing sleeve enhances the connection seal to prevent air leakage. Oxygen is delivered to the cavity of the water storage cylinder through the connecting pipe for humidification and heating. The check valve prevents water from overflowing from the cavity of the water storage cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the water delivery mechanism includes a protective shell, a water pump, a suction pipe, and a delivery pipe. The protective shell is mounted on the controller, the water pump is installed inside the protective shell, the suction pipe is mounted on the water pump, and the delivery pipe is mounted on the water pump and connected to the inside of the water storage tank. The suction pipe is connected to the water tank, and the display screen controls the start of the water pump. The water pump draws water from the water tank through the suction pipe and delivers the water to the cavity of the water storage tank through the delivery pipe. By setting up a water tank, frequent water refills by medical staff are avoided.

[0010] Preferably, the detection mechanism includes a dial, a connecting rod, a float, a pointer, a spring, and a potentiometer. The dial is mounted on the water storage tank, the connecting rod is rotatably mounted inside the cavity of the water storage tank, the float is mounted on the connecting rod, the pointer is mounted on the connecting rod, the top end of the spring is connected to the dial, and the bottom end of the spring is connected to the top end of the pointer. The potentiometer is mounted on the dial. When the water in the storage tank is filled with clean water, the float floats up, pushing the connecting rod upwards and causing the pointer to rotate downwards. Medical personnel can easily determine the water level in the storage tank by comparing the position of the pointer with the scale on the dial. By setting the spring to pull the pointer continuously to generate an upward pull, the float is prevented from being blown up by oxygen and water vapor. When the water level in the storage tank is too low, the pointer tilts upwards and contacts the potentiometer. After receiving an electrical signal, the potentiometer starts the water pump to deliver water.

[0011] Preferably, the exhaust mechanism includes a rotating shaft, a baffle, a temperature and humidity sensor, a damper, and a knob. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the water storage tank, the baffle is mounted on the rotating shaft, the temperature and humidity sensor is mounted on the baffle, the damper is mounted on the water storage tank and connected to the rotating shaft, and the knob is mounted on the rotating shaft. When the operator rotates the knob, the rotating shaft drives the rotating shaft and the baffle to rotate, adjusting the airflow. The temperature and humidity sensor facilitates the detection of the temperature and humidity of the exhaust airflow, and the damper facilitates the maintenance of the baffle's tilt angle.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a servo motor, which is mounted on the water storage tank and connected to the rotating shaft for transmission. The servo motor is also connected to the temperature and humidity sensor via an electrical signal. When the temperature and humidity sensor detects that the airflow temperature or humidity is too high, the temperature and humidity sensor drives the servo motor to start via an electrical signal. The servo motor drives the rotating shaft and the baffle to rotate, so that the baffle blocks the exhaust port of the water storage tank in time, avoiding discomfort to the patient caused by excessively high airflow temperature and humidity.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the ventilator is connected to the water storage mechanism, the water delivery mechanism is activated to deliver clean water to the water storage mechanism, the water storage mechanism heats the water, water vapor and oxygen are mixed to increase the humidity and temperature of the oxygen, the exhaust mechanism detects the temperature and humidity of the exhaust oxygen and can regulate the exhaust volume, and when the detection mechanism detects that the water level in the water storage mechanism drops, it can automatically start the water delivery mechanism to replenish water in the water storage mechanism to avoid affecting the humidification effect.
