Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of endotracheal tube technology, and more specifically, it relates to a rotatable and retractable endotracheal tube with a connector. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible tubing, also known as ductless tubing, is a type of flexible hose primarily used for flexible connections in equipment across various industries. It can transport fluids such as gases and liquids. It features flexible pitch, good extensibility, corrosion resistance, and excellent bendability, allowing it to operate in complex and harsh industrial environments. From design and material selection to production, transportation, and even final storage, flexible tubing adheres to strict specifications and standards. It offers a wide range of sizes, pressure and temperature ranges, and high chemical resistance. Currently, flexible tubing is used in various industrial manufacturing and distribution sectors, including petroleum, chemical, shipbuilding, dockyards, tank trucks, agriculture, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in applications such as hot and cold water, steam, ventilation, cooling, fire protection, and hydraulics. Tubing fittings offer advantages such as advanced structure, good performance, ease of use, no welding required, and no need for piping flaring. Therefore, compression fittings are widely used in the hydraulic and pneumatic systems of various machines. Fittings are generally divided into two types: plastic fittings and metal fittings.

[0003] However, in actual use, the trachea material is relatively hard and not easy to curl and store, and the locking of the connector is cumbersome and inconvenient to disassemble, which affects the efficiency of use. Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings to provide a rotatable trachea with a connector, in order to achieve a more practical purpose.
