An arc-shaped groove adapted to the humidification tank 3 is formed on the opposite side of each clamping block 9. An input pipe 10 is installed on the top of the humidification tank 3. The oxygen tube 11, through the arrangement of motor 5, gear 6, rack 7, slider 8, and clamping blocks 9, fixes the humidification tank 3. First, motor 5 is started to drive gear 6 to rotate, which drives the meshing rack 7 to move linearly, causing slider 8 to slide linearly on the corresponding track. Slider 8 drives clamping blocks 9 to move towards humidification tank 3. Finally, the arc-shaped grooves of the two clamping blocks 9 tightly clamp humidification tank 3, thus fixing humidification tank 3 and ensuring the stability of the connection between humidification tank 3 and humidifier body 1, thereby ensuring the normal operation of humidifier. The top of the input pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 12, and a mounting plate 13 is provided on one side of the mounting block 12. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 13, and a filter is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the mounting frame. The cotton 14 and the mounting block 12 have a rectangular groove on one side that matches the mounting frame. The mounting frame is movably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove. Fixing plates 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting plate 13. Rotating blocks 16 are rotatably connected to both sides of the mounting block 12. A circular groove is formed on one side of the rotating block 16. A telescopic rod 17 is movably connected to the inner wall of the circular groove. A spring 18 is connected between one side of the telescopic rod 17 and the inner wall of the circular groove. A locking hole matching the telescopic rod 17 is formed on one side of the fixing plate 15. A locking plate 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 17. One side of the locking plate 19 contacts one side of the fixing plate 15. The mounting plate 13, filter cotton 14, fixing plate 15, rotating block 16, telescopic rod 17, spring 18, and locking plate are all connected together. When the filter cotton 14 needs to be removed, first pull the lever 22 so that it moves the telescopic rod 17 through the clamping plate 19. At the same time, stretch the spring 18 so that the clamping plate 19 disengages from the clamping hole of the fixing plate 15. Then, rotate the rotating block 16 so that it drives the telescopic rod 17 and the clamping plate 19 to rotate together and move away from the clamping plate 19. This releases the locking and fixing state between the fixing plate 15 and the rotating block 16. The mounting plate 13 is no longer restricted by the fixing block 16. At this time, the mounting plate 13 can be pulled out from the rectangular groove on the mounting block 12 so that the filter cotton 14 can also be removed. The whole process does not require the use of additional tools, is simple and convenient to operate, and can quickly complete the removal of the filter cotton 14, improving work efficiency.

[0029] A limiting rod 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity. The limiting rod 20 ensures the stability of the slider 8 when it moves.

The inner side wall of the circular groove is provided with a limiting groove that matches the limiting block 21. The limiting block 21 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the limiting groove.

[0031] A pull rod 22 is fixedly connected to the other side of the card plate 19. The pull rod 22 makes it easy for medical staff to pull the card plate 19. The pull rods 22 are arranged symmetrically.

[0032] A positioning rod 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 13. With the setting of the positioning rod 23, the positioning rod 23 can accurately determine the relative position between the mounting plate 13 and the mounting block 12. A positioning groove adapted to the positioning rod 23 is opened on one side of the mounting block 12.

[0033] A protective pad 24 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the arc-shaped groove. The protective pad 24 can reduce the damage of the clamping block 9 to the humidification tank 3. The protective pad 24 is arc-shaped.

[0034] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0035] First step: First, start the motor 5 to drive the gear 6 to rotate, which drives the meshing rack 7 to move in a straight line, so that the slider 8 slides in a straight line on the corresponding track, and the slider 8 drives the clamping block 9 to move towards the humidification tank 3. Finally, the arc-shaped grooves of the two clamping blocks 9 tightly clamp the humidification tank 3, thereby fixing the humidification tank 3 and ensuring the stability of the connection between the humidification tank 3 and the humidifier body 1, thus ensuring the normal operation of the humidifier.

[0036] The second step: Next, pull the lever 22, which moves the telescopic rod 17 through the clamping plate 19, and at the same time stretches the spring 18, causing the clamping plate 19 to disengage from the clamping hole of the fixed plate 15. Then, rotate the rotating block 16, which causes the telescopic rod 17 and the clamping plate 19 to rotate together and move away from the clamping plate 19, thereby releasing the locking and fixing state between the fixed plate 15 and the rotating block 16. The mounting plate 13 is no longer restricted by the rotating block 16. At this time, the mounting plate 13 can be pulled out from the rectangular groove on the mounting block 12, and the filter cotton 14 can also be taken out. The whole process does not require the use of additional tools, is simple and convenient to operate, and can quickly complete the removal of the filter cotton 14, improving work efficiency.
