Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device accessories technology, and in particular to a novel carbon dioxide absorption tank. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon dioxide absorbent canisters are typically used in conjunction with anesthesia machines, absorbing the carbon dioxide and moisture exhaled by the patient through the absorbent inside. During use, the absorbent's absorption capacity decreases, requiring replacement. Since replacement is necessary after a certain period, emptying the absorbent and refilling it generates a significant amount of dust and is cumbersome. Currently, disposable carbon dioxide absorbers avoid dust generation; however, replacing the absorbent may require changing the connection circuit between the absorbent and the anesthesia machine, increasing the risk to the patient.

[0003] Using a soft bag design for the carbon dioxide absorbent makes the replacement process simple and quick; the entire soft bag can be removed and replaced with a new one, greatly reducing operation time and dust pollution. Since the tank does not need to come into direct contact with the absorbent during loading and replacement, absorbent dust is effectively prevented from remaining inside the tank, thus maintaining the cleanliness of the absorption tank for a longer period, reducing maintenance costs, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0004] However, in practical applications, this design presents a pressing problem: when attempting to place the carbon dioxide soft bag into the absorption tank, it is often obstructed by the tank's internal structure. Specifically, the vent pipe in the middle of the tank and the support at the top of the pipe opening become the main obstacles to the smooth placement and subsequent retrieval of the soft bag. Placing the carbon dioxide soft bag into this type of carbon dioxide absorption tank not only makes the operation very difficult but also reduces work efficiency and may even cause damage to the soft bag during operation, leading to leakage and waste of the absorbent. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a novel carbon dioxide absorption tank, comprising: a tank body and a ventilation support. Specifically, the tank body is an open-top tank body, with an internal accommodating space and an air inlet formed through the open top. An air outlet pipe is provided on at least one side wall inside the tank body, extending downwards from the side wall. The ventilation support is detachably installed at the open top of the tank body. The ventilation support includes a support body, which is composed of a hollow ventilation pipe. A main air outlet is located in the middle of the support body, and a side opening is provided at the bottom of at least one end of the support body. The shape and size of the side opening correspond to the top opening of the air outlet pipe.

[0006] Furthermore, the main body of the support is specifically composed of a straight hollow ventilation pipe, and the length of the main body of the support matches the diameter of the opening at the top of the tank;

[0007] Furthermore, when the venting bracket and the top opening of the tank are in the installed state, the side opening and the top opening of the vent pipe are tightly sealed to each other.

[0008] Furthermore, the side opening at the top of the air outlet is specifically sealed tightly to each other by means of snap-fit ​​or fitting.

[0009] Furthermore, the top opening of the vent pipe is specifically a circular opening, the main body of the support is specifically a cylindrical hollow vent pipe, and the bottom of at least one end of the main body of the support is provided with a circular side opening corresponding to the shape and size of the circular opening. The main body of the support is also provided with a solid support, which is supported at the edge of the tank.

[0010] Furthermore, a breathable baffle is provided horizontally near the bottom of the tank, which divides the internal space of the tank into two interconnected chambers: a first chamber and a second chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, the vent pipe extends from the side wall of the tank to the bottom and penetrates the venting baffle, and the bottom opening of the vent pipe forms a gap with the bottom of the second receiving cavity;

[0012] Furthermore, the first accommodating cavity is used to hold the carbon dioxide absorbent;

[0013] Furthermore, the air outlet is specifically a semi-circular or crescent-shaped air outlet pipe, and the top and bottom openings are specifically semi-circular or crescent-shaped; the side opening is semi-circular or crescent-shaped, corresponding to the top opening.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a carbon dioxide absorbent soft bag, which can be placed inside the containing space. The carbon dioxide absorbent soft bag includes a soft bag body, and the soft bag body contains carbon dioxide absorbent particles. The soft bag body has a plurality of breathable pores evenly distributed on it. The pore size of the breathable pores is smaller than that of the carbon dioxide absorbent particles. A sponge is provided at the upper and / or lower ends of the soft bag.

[0015] Based on the disclosure of the above embodiments, it can be understood that the beneficial effects of this utility model include: a novel carbon dioxide absorption canister with a detachable structure provided by this utility model. This design, while retaining the original ventilation function of the canister, has been improved by installing a detachable ventilation bracket at the top opening of the canister. This bracket can be easily installed and removed, ensuring smooth ventilation of the canister and greatly facilitating the insertion and removal of the carbon dioxide soft bag. The novel carbon dioxide absorption canister provided by this utility model not only significantly improves the convenience and efficiency of operation but also effectively avoids problems such as soft bag damage and absorbent leakage caused by improper operation. Simultaneously, due to the detachability of the bracket, medical personnel can more easily clean and maintain the absorption canister, further extending the service life of the equipment. In summary, this innovative design provides stronger protection for the cleanliness of the medical environment and the health of medical staff and patients, and also brings higher work efficiency and lower operating costs to medical institutions.

[0037] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the first overall structure of the novel carbon dioxide absorption tank according to Embodiment 1 of this utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the second overall structure of a first embodiment of the novel carbon dioxide absorption tank of this utility model; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the tank structure of Embodiment 1 of the novel carbon dioxide absorption tank of this utility model; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the first structure of the ventilation support in Embodiment 1 of the present invention; in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, a novel carbon dioxide absorption tank and a soft bag used therein are provided, including a tank body 1 and a ventilation support 2, wherein the ventilation support 2 is detachably installed at the top opening of the tank body 1.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the tank 1 is specifically an open-top tank 1, with an internal accommodating space and an air inlet formed through the open top; an air outlet pipe 11 is provided on at least one side wall inside the tank 1, extending downwards along the side wall of the tank 1, preferably with air outlet pipes 11 provided on both sides of the internal side wall of the tank; in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a breathable baffle 14 is provided horizontally near the bottom of the tank 1, the breathable baffle 14 is provided with a plurality of breathable holes, the breathable holes can be of any shape, the breathable holes are evenly arranged on the breathable baffle, and the breathable baffle divides the internal accommodating space of the tank into two interconnected first accommodating cavities 15 and second accommodating cavities 16.

[0040] The vent pipe 11 extends from the side wall of the tank 1 to the bottom and penetrates the venting baffle 14. The bottom opening 13 of the vent pipe 11 forms a gap with the bottom of the second receiving cavity 16. The first receiving cavity 15 is used to place the carbon dioxide absorbent. The second receiving cavity 16 is a chamber for forming a backflow between the inlet and outlet. Specifically, the vent pipe 11 is a semi-circular or crescent-shaped vent pipe, and the top opening 12 and the bottom opening 13 are specifically semi-circular or crescent-shaped openings.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the ventilation support 2 includes a support body 21, which is composed of a hollow ventilation pipe. A main air outlet 22 is provided in the middle of the support body 2, and a side opening 23 is provided at the bottom of at least one end of the support body. The shape and size of the side opening 2 correspond to the top opening 12 of the air outlet pipe. Preferably, the bottom of both ends of the support body 21 are respectively provided with side openings 23. In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support body 21 is specifically composed of a straight hollow ventilation pipe, and the length of the support body 21 matches the diameter of the top opening of the tank. When the venting bracket 2 and the top opening of the tank body 1 are in the installed state, the side opening 23 and the top opening 12 of the vent pipe 11 are tightly sealed together by snap-fitting or bonding. Preferably, the bonding method can be a magnetic bonding method. When the venting bracket 2 and the top opening of the tank body 1 are in the disassembled state, the side opening is detached from the top opening 12 of the vent pipe 11, thereby removing the venting bracket 2 from the top opening of the tank body 1. When the top opening 12 and the bottom opening 13 are specifically crescent-shaped, the side opening is also crescent-shaped, corresponding to the top opening, thus ensuring that the side opening and the top opening can be completely and tightly sealed together without leakage.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2Specifically, the novel carbon dioxide absorption tank of this utility model is shown in the overall structural diagram of the ventilation support 2 and the top opening of the tank body 1 in the installed state. It can be seen that the gas before filtration enters from the top opening of the tank body 1. When passing through the first receiving cavity 15 of the tank body 1, impurities such as carbon dioxide in the gas are filtered by the carbon dioxide absorbent placed in the first receiving cavity 15. Thus, when the gas passes through the first receiving cavity 15 and reaches the venting baffle to reach the second receiving cavity 16, the gas has completed filtration, forming filtered gas. At this time, the filtered gas completes its return flow in the second receiving cavity 16. The gas flows in from the bottom opening 13 of the outlet pipes provided on both sides of the tank body 1, and passes through the side openings 23 provided at both ends of the support body 21 along the outlet pipe 11, converging from both sides to the middle position of the hollow ventilation pipe of the support body 21, and flowing out from the main outlet 22 provided in the middle position of the support body 21.

[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the second structure of the ventilation support according to Embodiment 1 of this utility model; Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the third overall structure of Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In another embodiment of Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the ventilation support 2 is specifically a cross-shaped structure, including a support body 21. The horizontal part of the support body 21 is composed of a hollow ventilation pipe, and the vertical part is composed of a pair of solid supports. Preferably, the solid supports are made of plastic or metal. A main air outlet 22 is provided in the middle of the support body 21. When the ventilation support 2 and the top opening of the tank 1 are in the installation state, the pair of solid supports can support the edge of the tank 1, thereby further ensuring that the ventilation support 2 can be more stably installed at the top opening of the tank 1 in the installation state.

[0044] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the first overall structure of Embodiment 2 of the novel carbon dioxide absorption tank of this utility model; Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the second overall structure of the novel carbon dioxide absorption tank according to Embodiment 2 of this utility model; Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the first structure of the ventilation support in Embodiment 2 of this utility model; Figure 10This is a schematic diagram of the second structure of the ventilation support according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In Embodiment 2 of the present invention, the novel carbon dioxide absorption tank includes a tank body 1 and a ventilation support 2. The tank body 1 is specifically an open-top tank body 1, with an internal accommodating space and an air inlet formed through the open top. An air outlet pipe is provided on at least one side wall inside the tank body 1, extending towards the bottom along the side wall of the tank body 1. The ventilation support 2 is detachably installed at the open top of the tank body 1.

The support body 21 is also provided with solid supports 24. Preferably, there are three solid supports 24, which facilitate the support body 21 to be supported at the edge of the tank.

[0046] This utility model also includes a carbon dioxide absorbent soft bag, the soft bag comprising a soft bag body, the soft bag body containing carbon dioxide absorbent particles, and the soft bag body having a plurality of evenly distributed air-permeable pores, the pore size of which is smaller than that of the carbon dioxide absorbent particles. The soft bag is used to be placed in the first receiving cavity of the canister 1. In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the soft bag can be a variety of shapes such as round, semi-circular, or elliptical, and the soft bag body can be made of non-woven fabric or a plastic material; specifically, the plastic material can include: polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is a widely used plastic material with good flexibility and chemical stability, and can resist the erosion of a variety of chemicals, including some acidic substances.
