An electric telescopic rod is disposed on the top of the first connecting block. A second connecting block is disposed on the top of the electric telescopic rod. A second connecting seat is hinged to the top of the second connecting block.
[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, a fixing frame is provided on the top of the second connecting seat, and the bottom of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the connecting frame.
[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the top of the card head has two card slots, and both ends of the plug bracket are inserted into the card slots. The inside of the connecting frame has a slot, and one side of the card head is inserted into the slot.
[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, a limiting plate is provided at one end of each of the two limiting rods, and the bottom of the several limiting plates is fixedly connected to the sealing cover.
[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the bottoms of the Venturi device and the atomizer are both interlocked with the humidification tank.
[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, one end of each of the plurality of sliders is provided with a spring, one end of each of the plurality of springs is fixedly connected to a limiting plate, and the interior of each of the plurality of springs is slidably connected to a limiting rod.

[0016] In one embodiment of this utility model, the atomizer, heater, temperature sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, and electric telescopic rod are all electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to an external power supply.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1) The included Venturi device and nebulizer allow users to easily connect the Venturi device to an external oxygen line and the nebulizer to an external delivery line. The humidification tank and heater heat the liquid, increasing the water vapor content in the gas. Simultaneously, the thermostat head transforms the aerosol sprayed from the nebulizer (connected to the canister cap) into a warm, moist gas. This gas is then sprayed through a T-tube, which connects to an external mask. The aerosol volume can be adjusted via a valve on the internal flow meter to prevent over- or under-humidification. The Venturi device, connected to the sealed cap, regulates the gas flow rate and oxygen concentration. This combined effect prevents the formation of sputum crusts due to insufficient humidification and avoids excessively thin sputum due to over-humidification. The heater and thermostat head maintain a constant temperature for the humidified gas, ensuring better humidification of the patient's airway and allowing for adjustment of gas flow rate, oxygen concentration, and aerosol volume.
[0019] 2) The included electric telescopic rod allows users to easily remove the venturi device and atomizer for maintenance. The user opens the telescopic rod via the controller, causing it to retract. This retraction, through the first connecting block, moves the first connecting seat upwards. The upward movement of the first connecting seat, in turn, moves the plug bracket upwards via the fixing plate. The plug bracket, via the hinge seat, moves one side upwards, causing the plug bracket's locking head to slide out of its slot, releasing its restraint. At this point, the user can pull the two moving plates to separate the slot from the locking head, causing the moving plates to move the arc-shaped locking head... The ring moves, then contacts the limit switch on the Venturi device and atomizer. At this point, the user can directly pull out the Venturi device and atomizer for maintenance. During installation, the user moves the moving plate again. When the moving plate moves the arc-shaped retaining ring, the arc-shaped retaining ring moves the slider. The movement of the slider will cause the spring to contract. At this time, the user reinserts the Venturi device and atomizer and releases the moving plate. The spring returns to its original position, and the arc-shaped retaining ring presses against the Venturi device and atomizer. Then, the electric telescopic rod returns to its original position, thus achieving the purpose of quick disassembly and assembly for maintenance. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0028] Example
[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 A humidification device for patients with tracheostomy and respiratory diseases includes a humidification tank 100, a humidification component 200, and a quick-release component 300.
[0030] Please refer to the details. Figure 1 The top of the humidification tank 100 is provided with a sealing cover 110, and one end of the top of the sealing cover 110 is provided with an infusion set connection hole.
[0031] The humidification assembly 200 includes two sealing rings 210 disposed on the top of the sealing cover 110. Each of the two sealing rings 210 is connected to a connecting ring 220. One of the connecting rings 220 has a Venturi device 230 inside, and the other connecting ring 220 has an atomizer 240 inside. A thermostat head 250 is sealed and connected to one side of the sealing cover 110. A T-tube 260 is threadedly connected to one side of the thermostat head 250. A base 270 is disposed at the bottom of the humidification tank 100. A heater 280 is disposed at the bottom of the inner wall of the base 270. A temperature sensor 290 is disposed at the top of the inner wall of the sealing cover 110. A temperature and humidity sensor is disposed inside one side of the T-tube 260.
[0032] In one specific embodiment, the included Venturi device 230 and nebulizer 240 allow users to easily connect the Venturi device 230 to an external oxygen tubing and the nebulizer 240 to an external delivery tubing. The liquid is heated via the humidifier 100 and heater 280, increasing the water vapor content in the gas. Simultaneously, the thermostat 250, in conjunction with the nebulizer 240 connected to the canister cap, transforms the cold, humid gas into a warm gas. This gas is then ejected through the T-tube 260. As the gas exits through the T-tube 260, a temperature and humidity sensor continuously monitors the patient's temperature and humidity. The temperature and humidity of the gas being inhaled into the respiratory tract are monitored in real time. The T-tube 260 can be connected to an external mask, and the amount of aerosol sprayed can be adjusted by a valve on its internal flow meter to prevent over- or under-humidification. The venturi device 230 connected to the sealing cap 110 is used to adjust the gas flow rate and oxygen concentration. The combined effect ensures that the patient will not easily form sputum crusts due to insufficient humidification, nor will the sputum become too thin due to excessive humidification. Since the heater 280 and the thermostat head 250 maintain a constant temperature of humidified gas, the patient's airway is better humidified.
[0033] Please see Figure 4-5The quick-release assembly 300 includes a connecting bracket 310 disposed on the top of the sealing cover 110. Two movable plates 320 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting bracket 310. One side of each of the two movable plates 320 is provided with an arc-shaped retaining ring 330. One side of each of the arc-shaped retaining rings 330 is provided with a slider 340. Two limiting rods 350 are slidably connected inside the sliders 340. A locking head 360 is provided on the top of one of the movable plates 320, and a connecting frame 370 is provided on the top of the other movable plate 320. Two hinge seats 380 are provided at the top end of the frame 370. A plug bracket 390 is hinged inside each of the two hinge seats 380. A fixing plate is provided on the top of the two plug brackets 390. A first connecting seat 3910 is provided on the top of the fixing plate. A first connecting block is hinged to the top of the first connecting seat 3910. An electric telescopic rod 3920 is provided on the top of the first connecting block. A second connecting block is provided on the top of the electric telescopic rod 3920. A second connecting seat 3930 is hinged to the top of the second connecting block.
[0034] In one specific embodiment, the electric telescopic rod 3920 facilitates the removal and maintenance of the venturi device 230 and atomizer 240 by the user. The user opens the electric telescopic rod 3920 via the controller, causing it to retract. This retraction, via the first connecting block, moves the first connecting seat 3910 upwards. The upward movement of the first connecting seat 3910, through the fixing plate, moves the plug bracket 390 upwards. The plug bracket 390, via the hinge seat 380, moves one side upwards, causing it to slide out of the slot within the plug bracket 390's locking head 360, releasing its restraint. At this point, the user pulls the two moving plates 320 to separate the slot from the locking head 360, causing the moving plates 320 to move the arc-shaped retaining ring 3... Move the 30-inch plate to engage the limiting mechanism of the Venturi device 230 and atomizer 240. At this point, the user can directly remove the Venturi device 230 and atomizer 240 for maintenance. During installation, the user moves the moving plate 320 again. When the moving plate 320 moves the arc-shaped retaining ring 330, the arc-shaped retaining ring 330 moves the slider 340. The movement of the slider 340 will cause the spring 600 to contract under force. At this point, the user reinserts the Venturi device 230 and atomizer 240 and releases the moving plate 320. The spring 600 is then reset, causing the arc-shaped retaining ring 330 to press against the Venturi device 230 and atomizer 240. The electric telescopic rod 3920 is then reset to limit their engagement, thus achieving quick disassembly and assembly for maintenance.
[0035] Please see Figure 5 The top of the second connecting seat 3930 is provided with a fixing bracket 400, and the bottom of the fixing bracket 400 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 370.
[0036] In one specific embodiment, the provided fixing bracket 400 facilitates the support and fixation of the second connecting seat 3930 during use, making it more stable during use and preventing shaking.
[0037] Please see Figure 4 The top of the card head 360 has two card slots, and the ends of the two plug brackets 390 are inserted into the card slots. The inside of the connecting frame 370 has a slot, and one side of the card head 360 is inserted into the slot.
[0038] In one specific embodiment, the provided locking head 360 allows the locking head 360 to move along with the moving plate 320 when it moves, thereby separating from the slot to facilitate the disassembly of the venturi device 230 and the atomizer 240.
[0039] Please see Figure 4 Each of the two limiting rods 350 has a limiting plate 500 at one end, and the bottom of several limiting plates 500 is fixedly connected to the sealing cover 110.
[0040] In one specific embodiment, the limiting plate 500 facilitates the support and fixation of the limiting rod 350 during use, making the limiting rod 350 more stable during use and preventing it from shaking.
[0041] Please see Figure 2 The bottoms of the Venturi device 230 and the atomizer 240 are both interlocked with the humidification tank 100.
[0042] In one specific embodiment, the Venturi device 230 is convenient to use to adjust the gas flow rate and oxygen concentration during use, and the combined effect prevents the patient from easily forming phlegm crusts due to insufficient humidification.
[0043] Please see Figure 4 Each of the several sliders 340 has a spring 600 at one end, and one end of each spring 600 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 500. The interior of each spring 600 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 350.
[0044] In one specific embodiment, the limiting rod 350 facilitates the limiting movement of the slider 340 during use, making the slider 340 more stable during movement and avoiding wobbling.
[0045] Please see Figure 1 The top of the sealing cover 110 is sealed with a one-way valve 700. One end of the base 270 is provided with a connecting plate. One side of the connecting plate is provided with a temperature controller 800, and the other side of the connecting plate is provided with a controller.
[0046] In one specific embodiment, the one-way valve 700 facilitates the addition of humidifying liquid to the humidification tank 100 during use. The one-way valve 700 also prevents backflow of the liquid. Furthermore, the temperature controller 800 is conveniently connected with the temperature sensor 290 to monitor and control the humidification tank 100 in real time, thereby improving stability.
[0047] Please see Figure 1-5 The atomizer 240, heater 280, temperature sensor 290, temperature and humidity sensor and electric telescopic rod 3920 are all electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to an external power supply.
[0048] In one specific embodiment, a controller is provided to facilitate power supply control of electrical equipment, enabling the equipment to be powered on when needed, thus avoiding situations where power cannot be supplied when power is required.
[0049] In use, the Venturi device 230 and nebulizer 240 are provided for easy connection. The Venturi device 230 is connected to an external air-oxygen mixer (i.e., an oxygen source connector is used for connection, and the medical air-oxygen mixer is connected), and the nebulizer 240 is connected to an external delivery tube. The liquid is heated via the humidification tank 100 and heater 280, increasing the water vapor content in the gas. Simultaneously, the thermostatic head 250 transforms the aerosol sprayed from the nebulizer 240 connected to the tank cap from cold and humid to warm gas. This gas is then sprayed through the T-tube 260, which can be connected to an external mask. The amount of aerosol sprayed can be controlled by its internal flow rate. The valve on the gauge can be adjusted to three levels: strong, medium, and weak, corresponding to different nebulization flow rates. This is used to cater to patients requiring different levels of humidification, preventing over- or under-humidification. The Venturi device 230, connected to the sealing cap 110, regulates the gas flow rate and oxygen concentration. The combined effect of these factors prevents the formation of sputum crusts due to insufficient humidification, and avoids excessively thin sputum due to over-humidification. The heater 280 and thermostat 250 maintain a constant temperature for the humidified gas, ensuring better humidification of the patient's airway. Finally, the electric telescopic rod 3920 allows the user to easily adjust the Venturi device 230 as needed. When removing and maintaining the 30 and atomizer 240, the user opens the electric telescopic rod 3920 via the controller, causing it to retract. This retracts the electric telescopic rod 3920, which in turn moves the first connecting block upwards, causing the first connecting seat 3910 to move upwards. The upward movement of the first connecting seat 3910, in turn, moves the plug bracket 390 upwards via the fixing plate. The plug bracket 390 moves one side upwards via the hinge seat 380, causing it to slide out of the slot in the plug bracket 390's locking head 360, releasing its limiting position. At this point, the user pulls the two moving plates 320 to separate the slot from the locking head 360, causing the moving plates 320 to move the arc-shaped retaining ring 330, which then contacts the venturi device 230 and the atomizer. When the device 240 is in its limit position, the user can directly remove the Venturi device 230 and atomizer 240 for maintenance. During installation, the user moves the moving plate 320 again. When the moving plate 320 moves the arc-shaped retaining ring 330, the arc-shaped retaining ring 330 moves the slider 340. Finally, the movement of the slider 340 will cause the spring 600 to contract under force. At this time, the user reinserts the Venturi device 230 and atomizer 240 and releases the moving plate 320. The spring 600 resets, causing the arc-shaped retaining ring 330 to press against the Venturi device 230 and atomizer 240. Then, the electric telescopic rod 3920 resets and limits their movement, thereby achieving the purpose of quick disassembly and assembly for maintenance.
[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
