Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ventilator technology, and mainly to a flexible fan shock absorption mechanism for ventilators. Background Technology

[0002] Ventilators, as an effective means of artificially replacing spontaneous ventilation, are widely used in anesthesia respiratory management, respiratory support therapy, and emergency resuscitation. A ventilator uses a fan to draw in air, which is then delivered to the user through a humidifier.

[0003] When a ventilator is in use, a centrifugal fan draws in external air and pressurizes it before expelling it. However, the centrifugal fan vibrates violently during operation, generating significant noise. Excessive noise can negatively impact the user experience, especially since ventilators are typically used more frequently during sleep at night, and excessive noise can disrupt sleep. Therefore, how to reduce the vibration and noise of the centrifugal fan has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please refer to the following for details. Figure 1-3 A vibration damping mechanism for a flexible fan 1 of a ventilator includes a fan 1, a vibration damping sleeve 2 is fitted on the outside of the fan 1, the vibration damping sleeve 2 is a flexible structure, a cavity is formed inside the vibration damping sleeve 2, the vibration damping sleeve 2 is adapted to the shape of the fan 1 and forms a tight fit, the vibration damping sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the fan 1 by friction, ensuring the stability of the connection between the fan 1 and the vibration damping sleeve 2.

[0026] Based on the above technical means: the flexible shock-absorbing sleeve 2 is wrapped around the outside of the fan 1, and the vibration generated by the fan 1 during operation will be absorbed by the shock-absorbing sleeve 2, thereby greatly reducing the noise generated by the fan 1 during operation.

[0027] Specifically, a flexible shock-absorbing sleeve 2 adapted to the fan 1 is provided on the outside of the fan 1. The vibration generated by the fan 1 will be absorbed by the shock-absorbing sleeve 2. Three clamping legs 21 are provided on the outside of the shock-absorbing sleeve 2. The clamping legs 21 are T-shaped. Three T-shaped grooves adapted to the T-shaped clamping legs 21 are provided on the ventilator housing. The shock-absorbing sleeve 2 can be fixed to the ventilator housing by the clamping legs 21 engaging with the T-shaped grooves. That is, the fan 1 is also fixed in the ventilator housing by the clamping legs 21 engaging with the T-shaped grooves. The multiple clamping legs 21 (fixed points) improve the stability of the fan 1 installation.

[0028] Furthermore, the shock absorber sleeve 2 includes a main body 22 and a tube 23. The main body 22 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and the tube 23 is a hollow tubular structure. The main body 22, the tube 23, and the clamping leg 21 are an integral structure. The clamping leg 21 is located on the outer periphery of the main body 22. The main body 22 is adapted to the main body of the fan 1. The main body of the fan 1 is fitted in the main body 22. The tube 23 is adapted to the air outlet pipe of the fan 1. The air outlet pipe of the fan 1 is fitted in the tube 23.

[0029] In this embodiment, the shock-absorbing sleeve 2 is made of rubber material, and the main body 22, the tube 23 and the clamping leg 21 are integrally injection molded.

[0030] Furthermore, the main body 22 is open at both the top and bottom, and the main body 22 covers most of the main body of the fan 1, while the upper and lower parts and the lower side of the main body of the fan 1 are not covered; this can greatly reduce the vibration generated by the operation of the fan 1, and at the same time will not affect the heat dissipation of the fan 1.

[0031] Furthermore, a first limiting ring 221 is provided at the top of the main body 22, and the main body of the fan 1 abuts against the first limiting ring 221; this restricts the main body of the fan 1 so that the main body of the fan 1 will not protrude from the top of the main body 22.

[0032] Furthermore, a second limiting ring 231 is provided inside the pipe section 23, and the air outlet pipe of the fan 1 abuts against the second limiting ring 231; this restricts the air outlet pipe of the fan 1, so that the air outlet pipe of the fan 1 will not pass through the pipe section 23.

[0033] Furthermore, a number of rib grooves 222 are provided on the inner wall of the main body 22, and the distance between two adjacent rib grooves 222 is the same; the rib grooves 222 are designed to match the ribs on the main body of the fan 1, so that the main body of the fan 1 and the main body 22 fit together better.

[0034] Furthermore, the tube 23 has a plug 232 at its outer end away from the main body 22; the ventilator housing has a slot that matches the plug 232, and the plug 232 can be inserted into the slot to form a mating fit, which serves to position and assemble the device.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
