Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water collection for ventilators, specifically a water collection cup for ventilators that facilitates drainage. Background Technology

[0002] In modern clinical medicine, ventilators, as an effective means of artificially replacing spontaneous ventilation, are widely used in respiratory failure caused by various reasons, anesthetic respiratory management during major surgery, respiratory support therapy, and emergency resuscitation. They occupy a very important position in the field of modern medicine. During the use of ventilators, in order to prevent the condensate produced during breathing from flowing back into the patient's airway and causing airway obstruction and suffocation, a water collection cup is usually installed between the ventilator tubing. With the development of modern medical technology, the types and structures of these water collection cups are constantly being improved, making them more convenient to use.

[0003] In response to this, Chinese patent CN211935092U proposes a ventilator water collection cup that facilitates drainage. The cup includes a drainage tube and is equipped with a collection trough, an inlet, a first outlet, a second outlet, a baffle, and a sliding rod. In practical applications, through the coordination of these components, liquid can be collected inside the second cylinder via the second outlet and the inlet. Furthermore, during liquid inversion, simply pulling out a portion of the second cylinder using the first handle allows the first outlet to leak out, thus inverting the liquid. Simultaneously, during liquid inversion, the surface of the second cylinder seals the second outlet, preventing gas from entering and reducing the probability of infection for the patient.

[0004] However, in actual use, when there is too much condensation in the water collection cup, the cup needs to be manually removed to empty the condensation. During this process, the cup body is unscrewed, and the cup cap connected to the ventilator tubing is exposed, making the water outlet area exposed. This can easily cause unpurified air from the outside to enter the ventilator tubing through the leaking area of ​​the cup cap, potentially causing respiratory infections in patients and reducing the safety of the device. In response, this design proposes a water collection cup for ventilators that facilitates drainage. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ventilator water collection cup that facilitates drainage, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a ventilator water collection cup that facilitates drainage, comprising a water collection cup body and water collection mechanisms and protective mechanisms respectively installed on the water collection cup body in an inner and outer distribution;

[0007] The water collection mechanism includes a cup lid threaded onto the top of the water collection cup body. A water collection pipe is installed in the middle of the top of the cup lid. Connecting pipes are installed on the upper edges of both sides of the water collection pipe, and the inner walls of one end of each connecting pipe are connected to the inner walls of both ends of the water collection pipe. A groove is formed on the top of the cup lid inside the water collection pipe. A water inlet pipe is inserted into the middle of the cup lid inside the groove. A water inlet groove is formed on the upper end of one side of the water inlet pipe. Multiple water outlet grooves are formed at equal intervals in the middle of the outer wall of the water inlet pipe. A sealing block is fixedly installed on the top of the water inlet pipe through the top of the cup lid. A first spring is sleeved on one end of the outer wall of the water inlet pipe.

[0008] In one example, the two ends of the first spring are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cup lid and the outer wall of the water inlet pipe, respectively, and the outer wall of one end of the sealing block is interlocked with the inner wall of the groove.

[0009] In one example, a rubber pad is fixedly provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the sealing block, and one side of the rubber pad contacts the inner wall of the groove. In another example, a positioning tube is installed at the middle position of the bottom of the inner wall of the water collecting cup body, and the outer wall of the other end of the water inlet pipe is interlocked with the inner wall of the positioning tube.

[0010] In one example, the protective mechanism includes a buffer groove formed at the lower edge of the outer wall of the water collecting cup body, the outer wall of the water collecting cup body is fitted with a protective frame, and the outer wall of one end of the protective frame is slidably connected to the inner wall of the buffer groove.

[0011] In one example, a second spring is fixedly installed at the middle position of the inner wall of the protective frame, and one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water collection cup body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a water collection mechanism, when collecting water, screwing on the main body of the water collection cup causes it to squeeze the water inlet pipe and push out the sealing block, thus opening the groove. At this time, the water inlet groove on the water inlet pipe is located on the upper side of the groove. The condensate on the ventilator tubing can be introduced into the water inlet pipe through the water collection pipe and the connecting pipe and discharged from the water outlet groove into the main body of the water collection cup. When the water collection cup is unscrewed to deal with the condensate later, the squeezing is lost, and the water inlet pipe is lowered under the action of the first spring, and the sealing block is inserted into the groove to seal it, preventing unpurified air from the outside from entering the ventilator tubing, reducing the probability of respiratory tract infection for patients, and improving the safety of device use.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a water collection cup for a ventilator that facilitates drainage, comprising a water collection cup body 1 and a water collection mechanism 2 and a protective mechanism 3 respectively installed on the water collection cup body 1 in an inner and outer distribution;

[0021] The water collection mechanism 2 includes a water cup cover 201 threadedly connected to the top of the water cup body 1. A water collection pipe 202 is installed in the middle of the top of the water cup cover 201. Connecting pipes 203 are installed at the upper edges of both sides of the water collection pipe 202. The inner walls of one end of the two connecting pipes 203 are respectively connected to the inner walls of both ends of the water collection pipe 202. A groove 204 is opened on the top of the water cup cover 201 inside the water collection pipe 202. A water inlet pipe 205 is inserted and connected in the middle of the water cup cover 201 inside the groove 204. A water inlet groove 206 is opened at the upper end of one side of the water inlet pipe 205. Multiple water outlet grooves 207 are equally spaced in the middle of the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 205. A sealing block 208 is fixedly installed through the top of the water cup cover 201 at the top of the water inlet pipe 205. A first spring 209 is sleeved on one end of the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 205.

[0022] In use, the water collection cup body 1 is screwed onto the bottom of the water cup lid 201, and the water collection cup device is connected to the upper end of the ventilator tubing through the connecting pipes 203 on both sides of the water collection tube 202. When the water collection cup body 1 is screwed in, the bottom of the water inlet tube 205 inserted on the water cup lid 201 is inserted into the positioning tube 211 inside the water collection cup body 1. As the water collection cup body 1 is screwed in, the water inlet tube 205 is squeezed and protrudes from the water cup lid 201, positioning the sealing block 208 from the groove 204, thus opening the groove 204. As the water inlet tube 205 rises, its upper end of the water inlet groove 205 is exposed above the inner wall of the groove 204. At the same time, the groove 204 is connected to the water collection tube 202 and the connecting pipe 203 respectively, allowing the ventilator tubing to produce... The condensate is introduced into the water collection pipe 202 through the connecting pipe 203, and then into the groove 204. It then enters the water inlet pipe 205 through the water inlet groove 205 located above the groove 204, and accumulates below. It is discharged from the water outlet groove 207 below the water inlet pipe 205 and collected inside the water collection cup body 1. When a certain amount has accumulated, the water collection cup body 1 is unscrewed, and the water inlet pipe 205 is pushed down by the elastic action of the first spring 209. This causes the sealing block 208 to be inserted into the groove 204, sealing the groove 204. The position of the water inlet groove 206 is also lowered, so that the inside of the water collection pipe 202 is sealed. The outside air is not purified and cannot enter the ventilator tubing through the water collection pipe 202 and the connecting pipe 203, reducing the risk of infection for the patient and improving the safety of the device.

[0023] Furthermore, the two ends of the first spring 209 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the water cup lid 201 and the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 205, respectively. The outer wall of one end of the sealing block 208 is inserted and connected to the inner wall of the groove 204. As the water cup body 1 is disassembled and assembled, the first spring 209 extends and retracts, and the sealing block 208 closes and opens the water cup lid 201, which facilitates the opening and closing control of the ventilator and prevents bacteria from entering and causing infection in the patient.

[0024] A rubber pad 210 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the sealing block 208, and one side of the rubber pad 210 contacts the inner wall of the groove 204. The rubber pad 210 is provided at the bottom of the sealing block 208. When the sealing block 208 is inserted into the groove 204, the rubber pad 210 contacts the inner wall of the groove 204, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0025] Furthermore, a positioning tube 211 is installed at the middle position of the bottom of the inner wall of the water collection cup body 1, and the outer wall of the other end of the water inlet pipe 205 is inserted and connected to the inner wall of the positioning tube 211. When the water collection cup body 1 is screwed on, the positioning tube 211 positions the water inlet pipe 205, making it less likely to shift or tilt, thus improving the stability of the water collection cup in use.

[0026] Furthermore, the protective mechanism 3 includes a buffer groove 301 opened at the lower edge of the outer wall of the water collecting cup body 1, and a protective frame 302 is fitted on the outer wall of the water collecting cup body 1, and the outer wall of one end of the protective frame 302 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the buffer groove 301.

[0027] A second spring 303 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the protective frame 302, and one end of the second spring 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water collection cup body 1. After the water collection cup device is connected to the ventilator tubing, the tubing is often blown off. Therefore, a protective mechanism 3 is set at the bottom of the water collection cup body 1. When the water collection cup body 1 hangs down and hits the ground, the protective frame 302 at its bottom directly contacts the ground and compresses the second spring 303 to cushion it. Thus, when the water collection cup falls, its body will not directly contact the ground, but the protective frame 302 contacts the ground and slides on the buffer groove 301, which compresses the second spring 303 to cushion it, reducing the risk of the water collection cup body 1 breaking upon impact and improving the protective performance of the device.
