Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present application and should not be construed as limiting the application. On the contrary, the embodiments of the application include all alternatives, modifications and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
An automatic drain ventilator conduit water accumulation cup in accordance with an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the pipe water accumulation cup of the automatic drainage breathing machine according to the embodiment of the application may include a water accumulation cup body 1, a cup body cover 2, a sediment collection port 3, a first connection port 4, a second connection port 5, a monitoring device 6 and a drainage device 7, wherein the cup body cover 2 is in threaded connection with the top of the water accumulation cup body 1.
It will be appreciated that the water cup body 1 is the core of the overall device and is responsible for collecting and storing water deposited from the ventilator circuit. The body portion is designed to be robust and capable of withstanding a certain amount of pressure and weight to ensure that no breakage or leakage occurs during use.
The cup body sealing cover 2 is tightly connected with the top of the water accumulation cup main body 1 in a threaded connection mode. The connecting mode is simple and convenient, water can be effectively prevented from overflowing from the connecting position, and the tightness of the device is ensured. The top of the cup cover 2 is provided with a sedimentation collecting opening 3, and the design of the opening enables water dripping from a breathing machine pipeline to smoothly flow into the water accumulation cup main body 1 without splashing everywhere or accumulating on the cover.
The sinking liquid collecting opening 3 is arranged at the top of the cup body sealing cover 2, and the first connecting opening 4 and the second connecting opening 5 are respectively arranged at two ends of the sinking liquid collecting opening 3.
It can be understood that the first connection port 4 and the second connection port 5 are respectively provided at both ends of the sediment collection port 3. The two connectors are used for connecting a ventilator pipeline, so that the water accumulation cup can be connected into a drainage system of the ventilator. By such a design, the moisture accumulated in the ventilator circuit can flow into the water accumulation cup through the two connection ports.
The monitoring device 6 comprises a gravity monitoring assembly 61 and a water level monitoring assembly 62, wherein the gravity monitoring assembly 61 is arranged at the inner bottom of the water accumulation cup main body 1, and the water level monitoring assembly 62 is arranged on the water accumulation cup main body 1.
It will be appreciated that the monitoring device 6 includes a gravity monitoring assembly 61 and a water level monitoring assembly 62. The gravity monitoring component 61 is arranged at the inner bottom of the water accumulation cup main body 1 and is used for monitoring the weight of water in the water accumulation cup in real time. When moisture accumulates to some extent, the gravity monitoring assembly 61 will signal that a draining operation is required. The water level monitoring assembly 62 is arranged at a proper position outside the water accumulation cup main body 1 and is used for visually displaying the water level condition in the water accumulation cup. Through the cooperation of these two monitoring components, can realize the comprehensive control to the moisture condition in the ponding cup.
The drain 7 includes a drain assembly 71, wherein the drain assembly 71 is disposed at a lower end side of the water accumulation cup body 1, and the drain assembly 71 is connected to the gravity monitoring assembly 61 and the water level monitoring assembly 62, respectively.
It will be appreciated that the drain 7 is constituted primarily by the drain assembly 71. The drainage assembly 71 is arranged at one side of the lower end of the water accumulation cup main body 1, so that water in the water accumulation cup can be conveniently drained. The drainage assembly 71 is connected with the gravity monitoring assembly 61 and the water level monitoring assembly 62 respectively, and when the water in the water accumulation cup is monitored to reach a preset value, the drainage assembly 71 can be automatically started to drain the accumulated water. The design not only improves the drainage efficiency, but also avoids the complicated and inconvenient manual operation.
In one embodiment of the application, as shown in FIG. 4, the gravity monitoring assembly 61 comprises a pressure plate 611, a gravity sensor 612 and a spring 613, wherein the pressure plate 611 is slidably disposed within the water accumulation cup body 1, the gravity sensor 612 is disposed on the pressure plate 611, one end of the spring 613 is connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 611, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the water accumulation cup body 1.
It will be appreciated that, first, the pressure plate 611 is a slidable member which is skillfully designed inside the water reservoir body 1. When a certain amount of moisture is accumulated in the water accumulation cup, the weight of the moisture acts on the pressure plate 611 to displace it. This displacement is linear, i.e., as the weight of the moisture increases, the pressure plate 611 moves gradually downward.
The gravity sensor 612 is then precisely mounted above or closely coupled to the pressure plate 611. The primary function of this sensor is to sense the pressure change experienced by the pressure plate 611 and convert it into an electrical signal for transmission. When the pressure plate 611 moves downward due to the weight of the moisture, it compresses the gravity sensor 612, causing it to generate a corresponding electrical signal output. The electric signal can be captured and processed by a subsequent control system, so that the real-time monitoring of the weight of the water in the water accumulation cup is realized.
The spring 613 acts as another important component of the gravity monitoring assembly 61 and is operative to provide a restoring force to ensure that the pressure plate 611 is able to return to its original position after drainage. One end of the spring 613 is connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 611, and the other end is firmly fixed to the bottom of the water accumulation cup body 1. When the drainage device 7 is started and accumulated water is discharged, the spring 613 pushes the pressure plate 611 to move upwards by using the self elastic force until it returns to the original state.
In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, the water level monitoring assembly 62 includes a mounting band 621 and a water level sensor 622, wherein the mounting band 621 is provided on the water reservoir body 1, and the water level sensor 622 is provided on the mounting band 621.
It will be appreciated that, first, the mounting strap 621 is a elaborate component which is fixedly located in place on the exterior of the water reservoir body 1. This mounting strap 621 not only provides a mounting platform for the water level sensor 622, but also ensures that the sensor is accurately aligned with the water level within the water reservoir. The mounting strap 621 is typically made of a durable and resilient material so as to be able to accommodate different sized water cup bodies 1 and ensure sensor stability and accuracy.
The water level sensor 622 is the core of the water level monitoring assembly 62, which is mounted on a mounting strap 621 and the sensing portion of which needs to be able to contact the water in the water reservoir. The sensor can monitor the water level change in the water accumulation cup in real time through an advanced sensing technology. When the water level rises, the water level sensor 622 captures this change and converts it into an electrical signal for transmission. The electric signal can be captured and processed by a subsequent control system, so that the real-time monitoring of the water level in the water accumulation cup is realized.
In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, the drain assembly 71 includes a sealing plate 711, a solenoid valve 712, a micro water pump 713, and a drain pipe 714, wherein the sealing plate 711 is disposed at a lower end side of the water reservoir body 1, the solenoid valve 712 is disposed at one side of the sealing plate 711, the micro water pump 713 is connected to the solenoid valve 712, and the drain pipe 714 is connected to the micro water pump 713.
It is to be understood that, first, the sealing plate 711 is provided on the lower end side of the water reservoir main body 1. The sealing plate serves two key functions, namely, preventing accumulated water from leaking from the water outlet when the accumulated water is not discharged, and providing a mounting platform for the electromagnetic valve 712 and the micro water pump 713. The sealing plate 711 is generally made of a water-resistant, corrosion-resistant material to ensure reliability and stability for its long-term use.
The solenoid valve 712 is skillfully installed at one side of the sealing plate 711. The solenoid valve is a controllable switch for controlling the opening and closing of the drain passage. When the drain assembly 71 receives a drain command from the monitoring device 6, the solenoid valve 712 will quickly open, allowing the accumulated water to drain through the drain passage. Conversely, when drainage is not required, the solenoid valve 712 remains closed to prevent water leakage.
The micro water pump 713 is connected to a solenoid valve 712 which is responsible for providing the necessary power for the draining process. When the solenoid valve 712 is opened, the micro water pump 713 is started to generate suction force to pump the accumulated water in the water accumulation cup out through the drain pipe 714. The miniature water pump is usually designed with low power consumption and high efficiency so as to ensure the smooth drainage process and reduce the consumption of power supply.
The drain pipe 714 is an output portion of the drain assembly 71, which is connected to the micro water pump 713 and discharges the pumped-out accumulated water to a designated location. The design of the drain pipe 714 generally allows for smoothness and flexibility of the drain to ensure that the accumulated water is drained quickly and thoroughly. Meanwhile, the drain pipe 714 can be lengthened or shortened as required to adapt to different use environments and drain requirements.
In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the apparatus further comprises a PLC controller 8, wherein the PLC controller 8 is respectively connected to the water level sensor 622 and the gravity sensor 612, and the solenoid valve 712 is respectively connected to the water level sensor 622 and the gravity sensor 612.
It will be appreciated that the PLC controller 8, i.e. the programmable logic controller, is an important control component in the automatic drain ventilator tubing water bowl. It is responsible for receiving the signals from the water level sensor 622 and the gravity sensor 612, processing and deciding these signals according to preset logic judgment conditions, and finally controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 712, and possibly other related operations.
First, the PLC controller 8 is connected to the water level sensor 622 and the gravity sensor 612, respectively. This connection allows the PLC controller 8 to receive data from both sensors in real time. The water level sensor 622 provides water level information within the water reservoir, while the gravity sensor 612 provides weight information of the water within the water reservoir. The PLC controller 8 can accurately judge the water accumulation condition in the water accumulation cup by using the data, and determine whether the water discharge operation is required.
Next, the solenoid valve 712 is connected not only to the micro water pump 713 to control the opening and closing of the drain passage, but also to the water level sensor 622 and the gravity sensor 612, respectively, in an indirect connection relationship. By "indirectly connected" herein is meant that the opening and closing decisions of the solenoid valve 712 are made by the PLC controller 8 based on the data of the water level sensor 622 and the gravity sensor 612. In other words, although the solenoid valve 712 is not directly physically connected to the water level sensor 622 and the gravity sensor 612, their signals and functions are interrelated.
In actual operation, when the water level sensor 622 or the gravity sensor 612 detects that the accumulated water reaches a preset drainage condition, they send a signal to the PLC controller 8. After receiving these signals, the PLC controller 8 determines whether the water draining operation needs to be started according to a preset logic determination condition. If necessary, the PLC 8 sends a command to the solenoid valve 712 to open the drain and activate the micro water pump 713 to drain. When the drainage is completed, the PLC controller 8 again sends a command to the solenoid valve 712 to close the drainage passage, thereby completing the whole drainage process.
In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the PLC controller 8 is also connected to an external intelligent control unit.
It can be appreciated that the external intelligent control unit also allows the user to flexibly set the drainage conditions according to actual demands. Once the water level or weight in the water accumulation cup reaches the preset water discharge condition, the PLC controller 8 will immediately automatically start the solenoid valve 712 and the micro water pump 713 according to the preset logic judgment condition to perform the water discharge operation. In this process, the PLC controller 8 monitors the progress and status of the drainage operation in real time, and ensures the safety and efficiency of the drainage process.
After the water draining operation is completed, the PLC controller 8 can timely feed back the water draining result and state information to the external intelligent control unit. The user can view this information through an application or interface to see if the drain operation was completed successfully and if further action is required.
Meanwhile, the PLC 8 also has an emergency early warning function. In a specific situation, for example, when the water level in the water accumulation cup is abnormally increased and the weight exceeds a safety threshold value, the PLC 8 can immediately trigger an early warning mechanism, and an emergency prompt is sent to medical staff through an external intelligent control unit. The early warning prompt can be displayed on the intelligent equipment of the user in real time in the modes of sound, vibration and the like, so that medical staff can be ensured to rapidly acquire emergency information and take corresponding countermeasures.
It should be noted that, the control mode of the present application may be automatically controlled by the controller, and the control mode of the controller may be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which belongs to the common general knowledge in the art, and the present application is mainly used for protecting the mechanical structure, so the present application does not explain the control mode and the circuit connection in detail.
The specific use flow is as follows:
1. initial setup and connection
The water accumulation cup main body 1 is correctly installed in a drainage system of a breathing machine pipeline.

Ensuring that the sink pooling port 3, the first connection port 4 and the second connection port 5 are all correctly connected to the ventilator circuit.
Connect the PLC controller 8 with the external intelligent control unit and set drainage conditions according to actual demands.
2. Normal operation and monitoring
1. Gravity monitoring stage:
When moisture in the ventilator circuit is deposited into the water bowl body 1, the weight of the moisture will act on the pressure plate 611 of the gravity monitoring assembly 61.
Displacement of the pressure plate 611 triggers the gravity sensor 612, which generates an electrical signal and transmits it to the PLC controller 8.
The PLC controller 8 determines whether or not the water discharge operation needs to be started, based on a preset logic determination condition.
If the drain condition is met (e.g., the weight of the water reaches a preset threshold), the PLC controller 8 will control the solenoid valve 712 to open and activate the micro water pump 713 to drain.
2. Water level monitoring phase (as a backup for gravity monitoring):
if the gravity monitoring assembly 61 fails or fails to function properly, the water level monitoring assembly 62 will take over the monitoring task.
The water level sensor 622 monitors the change in water level in the water reservoir body 1 in real time.
When the water level reaches a preset drain height, the water level sensor 622 sends a signal to the PLC controller 8.
The PLC controller 8 also controls the solenoid valve 712 to open and starts the micro water pump 713 to drain based on the received signal.
3. Drainage operation
Under the control of the PLC controller 8, the solenoid valve 712 opens the drain passage, and the micro water pump 713 starts to operate.
The water in the water accumulation cup body 1 is drawn out through the water discharge pipe 714 and discharged to a designated position.
The PLC 8 monitors the progress and state of the drainage operation in real time, and ensures the safety and high efficiency of the drainage process.
4. Drainage completion and feedback
When the drain operation is completed, the PLC controller 8 controls the solenoid valve 712 to close the drain passage and stops the operation of the micro water pump 713.
The PLC controller 8 feeds back the drainage result and the status information to the external intelligent control unit.
The user can view this information through an application or interface to see if the drain operation was completed successfully.
5. Emergency early warning and handling
In certain situations, such as emergency situations when the water level in the water accumulation cup is abnormally increased, the weight exceeds a safety threshold value, the PLC 8 can immediately trigger an early warning mechanism.
The PLC controller 8 sends an emergency alert to the healthcare personnel through the external intelligent control unit, reminding them to take the corresponding countermeasures.
