Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a connection device for the respiratory system after general anesthesia. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, oral insertion of an endotracheal tube is the most common method for establishing an artificial airway in the treatment of critically ill patients. For example, in well-known clinical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in China, one of the most frequently used rescue measures involves inserting a breathing tube through the mouth into the patient's trachea to enhance assisted breathing. An artificial airway typically consists of a breathing circuit Y-shaped component, a heat exchange filter, and an endotracheal tube. The breathing circuit Y-shaped component and the heat exchange filter are usually connected by threads. Since the endotracheal tube usually includes an inner core and a cuff, the inner core must be removed during use; therefore, the endotracheal tube and the heat exchange filter must be separate components. Because the heat exchange filter can be connected to the endotracheal tube or a face mask, its interface is usually universal to accommodate more products. However, when one end of the endotracheal tube is inserted into the heat exchange filter and tightly fitted, the endotracheal tube and the heat exchange filter may detach during actual use, posing a certain safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem of existing endotracheal tubes and heat exchange filters easily detaching during use, this invention provides a connection device for the respiratory system after general anesthesia.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a second elastic member, which abuts against the gear shift member and has a tendency to move outward from the gear shift member. The first connecting member has a safety limiting hole on the outer side of the gear shift hole relative to the second connecting member.

[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limiting component is detachably connected to the heat exchange filter and / or endotracheal tube, and the first connector is provided with a threaded part for easy connection with the Y-shaped part of the breathing circuit.

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0023] Depend on Figure 1 Combination Figure 2-3 As shown, a connection device for the respiratory system after general anesthesia includes:

[0024] A heat exchange filter 1 is used for heat exchange and / or filtering of particulate matter in breathing gas; the heat exchange filter 1 includes a first connector 11, a second connector 12 and a filter body 13; the first connector 11 is connected to the second connector 12 through the filter body 13.

[0025] The endotracheal tube 2 includes an endotracheal tube 21 and an endotracheal connector 22; the endotracheal tube 21 is connected to the second connector 12 through the endotracheal connector 22.

[0026] A limiting component 3 is connected to the heat exchange filter 1 and / or the endotracheal tube 2. The limiting component 3 includes a limiting pin 31 with a slot 311. The slot 311 is inserted into the endotracheal connector 22 and / or the second connector 12 to limit the relative position of the endotracheal connector 22 and the second connector 12. In use, the limiting component is directly pressed down to lock the endotracheal connector and the second connector, preventing them from falling off. This simple structure and convenient operation are preferred features of this invention. In practice, the first connector, the second connector, and the filter body are usually an integrated structure, and the endotracheal connector is usually tightly fitted with the endotracheal tube to form an integrated structure. This simplifies connection and operation. The beneficial effect of this invention is that the limiting component restricts the relative position of the endotracheal connector and the second connector, thereby preventing the endotracheal tube from falling off and improving product safety. This invention also has the advantages of simple structure, convenient assembly, simple operation, and long service life.

[0027] The endotracheal connector 22 includes a first insertion portion 221, a shoulder portion 222, and a neck portion 223. The first insertion portion 221 is inserted into and connected to the second connector 12. The outer diameter of the shoulder portion 222 is larger than the outer diameter of the neck portion 223. The slot 311 mates with the neck portion 223, causing the limiting insertion pin 31 to abut against the axially upward end face of the shoulder portion 222. Specifically, the endotracheal connector 22 includes a second insertion portion 224, which is inserted into the endotracheal tube 21 and press-fits with it. The first insertion portion 221 is inserted into the second connector 12 and press-fits with it. This structure makes it easy to connect the limiting component to the endotracheal connector, is simple in structure, and easy to operate. After the limiting component is connected, the endotracheal tube is not easily dislodged, preventing the endotracheal tube from separating from the heat exchange filter during surgery.

[0028] A connecting portion 14 is provided between the second connector 12 and the filter body 13. The outer diameter of the second connector 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting portion 14. The slot 311 is adapted to the connecting portion 14, and the limiting pin 31 abuts against the axial end face of the second connector 12. This structure makes it convenient to connect the limiting component to the second connector, is simple in structure, and easy to operate. After the limiting component is connected, one side of the heat exchange filter is less likely to be pulled away by other tubes of the respiratory system, thus separating the tracheal tube from the heat exchange filter and improving the safety performance of the product.

[0029] The aforementioned limiting pins 31 are two in number, each with a slot 311. The slots 311 on the two limiting pins 31 respectively abut against the shoulder portion 222 and the second connector 12, providing axial limiting for the tracheal connector 22 and the second connector 12. The slots 311 are U-shaped or arc-shaped. Generally, the outer diameter of the connecting part is larger than the outer diameter of the neck; however, for ease of production or operation, the slots of the two limiting pins can be the same or similar, facilitating operation by medical personnel, simplifying the structure, and simplifying production. In practice, the slots can be U-shaped or semi-circular, etc. The limiting component of this invention can be integrally molded from plastic. The limiting pins can be made of materials such as resin film, resulting in a simple structure and low production cost.

[0030] This utility model also includes a first elastic element 34. Two limiting pins 31 are respectively disposed on the first connector 32 and the second connector 33. The two ends of the first elastic element 34 are connected to the first connector 32 and the second connector 33 respectively, and have a tendency to drive the limiting pin 31 on the second connector 33 to move closer to the limiting pin 31 on the first connector 32. The arrangement of the first elastic element, the first connector, and the second connector allows for adjustable spacing between the two limiting pins, resulting in a wide product compatibility range. Furthermore, the first elastic element allows the two limiting pins to move closer together, thus acting similarly to clamping a tracheal tube connector and a second connector. Simultaneously, the first elastic element prevents the second connector from being pulled apart from the first connector during use by the tracheal tube, making product adjustment convenient and ensuring high safety.

[0031] The aforementioned limiting pin 31 has two parts, which are respectively disposed on the first connector 32 and the second connector 33. The first connector 32 and the second connector 33 form a locking engagement, making the distance between the two limiting pins 31 adjustable. This facilitates adjustment of the distance between the two limiting pins and adapts to products of different specifications. The two pins can be clamped together in the middle, ensuring a reliable connection between the heat exchange filter and the endotracheal tube. In this invention, the locking component and locking hole can be used independently or in conjunction with the first elastic component. The preferred embodiment of this invention is the use of both together. This way, when medical personnel clamp the tube, if the endotracheal connector needs to be separated from the second connector (due to accidental contact or patient displacement causing the endotracheal connector to be pulled away from the second connector during use), it needs to overcome the force at the locking component and the tension at the first elastic component, making the endotracheal connector more difficult to separate and improving safety upon contact.

[0032] The first connecting member 32 is provided with multiple shift holes 321, and the second connecting member 33 is provided with shift members 331 that are adapted to the shift holes 321. Specifically, it also includes a second elastic member 35, which abuts against the shift member 331 and has a tendency to move the shift member 331 outward. The first connecting member 32 is provided with a safety limiting hole 322 on the outer side of the shift hole 321 relative to the second connecting member 33. The setting of the shift holes and shift members allows the first and second connecting members to reliably extend and retract, and at the same time be reliably fixed, preventing them from being pulled apart by forces from both sides. A safety limiting hole is also provided on the outermost side. Even if the shift member accidentally disengages from the shift hole during actual use, it will fall into the safety limiting hole, which limits the shift member and prevents the endotracheal tube from falling out, facilitating quick re-insertion by medical personnel.

[0033] The limiting component 3 is detachably connected to the heat exchange filter 1 and / or the endotracheal tube 2, and the first connector 11 is provided with a threaded portion 111 for easy connection with the Y-type component of the breathing circuit. This structure makes the product widely adaptable and simple in design.
