Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clinical ventilator technology, and in particular to an electric water collection cup for ventilator tubing. Background Technology
[0002] When using a ventilator, the patient's breathing produces condensation. To ensure the patient can breathe normally, a water collection cup is needed to collect the condensation in the ventilator tubing. The water collection cup is usually located at the lower part of the ventilator tubing to ensure that the condensation can flow smoothly into the water collection cup.
[0003] Existing non-invasive ventilator tubing produces a large amount of condensation during patient breathing due to the significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the tubing. This condensation is difficult to collect completely and can lead to water accumulation in the patient's mask, potentially posing a safety hazard. Invasive ventilator tubing, on the other hand, lacks a water collection cup, requiring manual cleaning of the accumulated water, which can increase the risk of pathogens and negatively impact patient use.
[0004] Therefore, in response to the problem that existing ventilator tubing condensates are difficult to collect completely, an electric condensate collection cup for ventilator tubing can be designed. By using a wrapping temperature control method, the internal temperature of the tubing can be regulated by the water temperature, thereby regulating the temperature of the internal and external environments of the tubing, avoiding excessive temperature differences, effectively reducing the generation of condensate, and enhancing the practical value of the condensate collection cup.

[0031] Through the above steps, by setting a fixing component to connect the drain pipe 1 and the temperature control chamber 2, the temperature control chamber 2 encloses the latter half of the drain pipe 1. At the same time, the fixing component is used to connect and fix the water collection cup body 3, fixing the water collection cup body 3 to one end of the drain pipe 1. Clean water is injected into the water storage chamber 4 through the water storage component. Clean water in the water storage chamber 4 is drawn out through the hot water pipe 6. The control component heats the clean water passing through the hot water pipe 6 and injects the hot water into the temperature control chamber 2.
