The utility model belongs to the technical field of
medical equipment, and particularly relates to a switching device and an
anaesthesia machine. The switching device comprises a base, a
handle, an elastic piece, a
piston rod and an
air channel switching block, an eccentric
cam is arranged at one end of the
handle, and the eccentric
cam is rotationally installed on the base; one end of the elastic piece is rotationally mounted on the base, the other end of the elastic piece is connected with the
handle, and the rotation axis of the elastic piece and the rotation axis of the eccentric
cam are located on a first plane; a
piston cavity, an air inlet, a manual interface and a mechanical control interface are formed in the air passage switching block, the
piston rod is movably mounted in the piston cavity in the length direction, and the end, extending out of the piston cavity, of the
piston rod is connected with the eccentric cam; the handle can overcome the elastic force of the elastic piece to rotate between a manual position and a mechanical control position so as to drive the
piston rod to move through the eccentric cam, and the manual position and the mechanical control position are located on the two sides of the first plane; at the mechanical control position, the
piston rod blocks the manual interface; and at the manual position, the piston rod blocks the mechanical control interface.
