Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of respiratory equipment technology, and in particular to a respiratory device with heating and humidification functions. Background Technology
[0002] Newborns, especially extremely premature infants, have immature ciliary transport systems in their airways. Inhaling unheated and unhumidified air can adversely affect the airway mucosa and ciliary function, reducing lung compliance. Optimal heating and humidification can protect the airway mucosa, reduce metabolic work, complications, and extubation failure rates.
[0003] Currently, the equipment used in the delivery rooms of extremely premature infants in various hospitals is all simple equipment. In the past, T-combination tubes were used directly without heating and humidification of the gas. Now, various hospitals have begun to pay attention to the heating and humidification of the airway during transport, but there is currently no dedicated ventilator tubing. Clinically, a set of ventilator tubing is assembled by the hospital using a ventilator tubing + T-combination tube. Because the tubing connectors are not compatible, multiple connecting tubes are usually needed at the joints. Sometimes, tape is also needed to maintain the stability and sealing of the connection. However, this method of use is very inconvenient because there is no dedicated connector.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a breathing device with heating and humidification functions. Utility Model Content

[0007] A ventilator tube is connected between the air outlet of the T-combiner and the air inlet of the humidifier. One end of the ventilator tube is connected to a connector, and the ventilator tube is connected to the air outlet of the T-combiner through the connector.
[0008] The T-combination tube is located between the humidification tank and the nasal pre-connector. A second ventilator tube is connected between the humidification tank and the T-combination tube. One end of the second ventilator tube is connected to a second connector, and the second ventilator tube is connected to the T-combination tube through the second connector.
[0009] The T-combination tube and the nasal pre-connector are connected by a connector head three.
[0010] Preferably, the narrow end of the connector is plugged into the ventilator tube, the wide end of the connector is fitted onto the air outlet of the T-combiner, and the other end of the ventilator tube is plugged into the air inlet of the humidifier.
[0011] Preferably, the narrow end of the connector two is sleeved on the narrow end of the T-combination tube, the wide end of the connector two is inserted and connected to one end of the ventilator tube two, and the other end of the ventilator tube two is inserted and connected to the air outlet of the humidifier.
[0012] Preferably, both the narrow end of the connector and the wide end of the connector are fitted with sealing rings.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, the breathing device with heating and humidification functions provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0015] Beneficial effects:
[0016] The humidifier can heat and humidify the gas required for breathing, while connectors one, two, and three can be used to make dedicated adapter connections between the T-connector and ventilator tubing one, ventilator tubing two, T-connector tubing, and nasal pre-adhesive connector.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 The technical solution provided by this utility model specifically includes the following embodiments:
[0023] A breathing device with heating and humidification functions includes a T-combiner 1, a humidifier 4, a T-combination tube 8, and a nasal pre-connector 10;
[0024] A ventilator tube 3 is connected between the air outlet of the T-combiner 1 and the air inlet of the humidifier tank 4. One end of the ventilator tube 3 is connected to a connector 2, and the ventilator tube 3 is connected to the air outlet of the T-combiner 1 through the connector 2.
[0025] The T-combination tube 8 is located between the humidification tank 4 and the nasal pre-connector 10. A second ventilator tube 5 is connected between the humidification tank 4 and the T-combination tube 8. One end of the second ventilator tube 5 is connected to a second connector 6. The second ventilator tube 5 is connected to the T-combination tube 8 through the second connector 6.
[0026] A connecting head 9 connects the T-combination tube 8 and the nasal pre-connector 10.
[0027] The ends of ventilator tubing 3 and ventilator tubing 5 near the humidifier tank 4 are respectively connected to the air inlet and air outlet of the humidifier tank 4. The humidifier tank 4 can be used to heat and humidify the gas.
[0028] The narrow end of connector 2 is inserted into ventilator tubing 3, and the wide end of connector 2 is fitted onto the air outlet of T-combiner 1. The other end of ventilator tubing 3 is inserted into the air inlet of humidifier tank 4. Connector 2 can be used exclusively to connect ventilator tubing 3 and the air outlet of T-combiner 1.
[0029] The narrow end of connector 26 is fitted onto the narrow end of T-combination tube 8, and the wide end of connector 26 is inserted into one end of ventilator tube 25. The other end of ventilator tube 25 is inserted into the air outlet of humidifier tank 4. Connector 26 can be used specifically for connecting ventilator tube 25 and T-combination tube 8.
[0030] Both the narrow end of connector 2 and the wide end of connector 6 are fitted with sealing rings 7. The design of the sealing rings 7 improves the sealing performance of connectors 2 and 6 when connected to ventilator tubing 3 and 5. Furthermore, if a different tubing size is required, resulting in a loose connection, sealing rings 7 of varying thicknesses can be used to maintain the seal. Notably, both connectors 2 and 6 have annular grooves where the sealing rings 7 connect. This means that when the sealing ring 7 is fitted onto connectors 2 and 6, the inner ring is actually embedded within the annular groove. Therefore, even when subjected to tensile force from axial friction, the sealing ring 7 will not detach from connectors 2 and 6, improving its stability.
[0031] The wide end of connector 39 is inserted into the wide end of T-combination tube 8, and the narrow end of connector 39 is inserted into the nose pre-connector 10. The narrow end of connector 39 is processed into a stepped shape.
[0032] When it is necessary to connect with the nasal pre-connector 10, since the model of the nasal pre-connector 10 is not fixed but comes in different sizes, the narrow end of the connector 9 is processed into a stepped shape. This way, the narrow end of the connector 9 has tubes with different radii, which can be adapted to the nasal pre-connector 10 of different sizes for connection. The wide end of the connector 9 is perfectly matched to the T-combination tube 8 for insertion and connection. When it is not necessary to connect with the nasal pre-connector 10, the connector 9 can be removed, and then the breathing mask can be directly inserted into the wide end of the T-combination tube 8 for use.
[0033] It is worth mentioning that all the aforementioned plug-in connections are interference fits, so the connections are tight and will not come loose easily.
[0034] Working principle:
[0035] When in use, the air inlet of the T-combiner 1 is connected to the air source through a pipeline, and the gas can be discharged from the air outlet of the T-combiner 1. Then, it enters the humidification tank 4 through connector 2 and ventilator tubing 3 for heating and humidification. The heated and humidified gas is then guided to the T-combiner tube 8 through ventilator tubing 2 and connector 2 6. Finally, the T-combiner tube 8 and the nasal pre-connector 10 can be connected together through connector 3 9. When using a breathing mask, connector 3 9 and nasal pre-connector 10 can be removed, and the breathing mask can be directly plugged into the T-combiner tube 8 for use.
