Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a gas collecting apparatus for pathology department comprising an elastic bag body for collecting gas exhaled from a patient so as to detect the content of each substance (or, virus, bacteria) in the exhaled gas to diagnose what kind of disease and the severity of the disease the patient suffers from. The gas collecting device comprises a collecting bag 60 and a flow guiding device, in the invention, the collecting bag 60 comprises a bag body 61 and a necking 62 integrally formed on the bag body 61, and it should be noted that: the bag 61 is made of an elastic material, such as an elastic rubber material, and when gas enters the bag 61 through the throat 62, the bag 61 is elastically deformed to expand, and the larger the expanded volume, the larger the degree of elastic deformation, so that the pressure of the gas in the bag 61 increases with the increase in the volume of the bag 61, that is, the pressure of the gas in the bag 61 increases with the increase in the amount of the collected gas, as the balloon inflates. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a closed cavity is formed in the housing 10, the housing 10 is formed with an inlet 13 and an outlet 14, the inlet 13 and the outlet 14 are formed thereon, and a gas flow path 43 for the exhaled gas of the patient to pass through is formed between the inlet 13 and the outlet 14. The stator 20 is disposed in the sealed cavity and occupies a space of the sealed cavity, and the stator 20 is fixedly connected to the housing 10 by a fastening member such as a rivet 70. The rotor 30 is also disposed in the sealed chamber, and can rotate relative to the stator 20, and the sealed chamber is divided into a first pressure comparison chamber 41 and a second pressure comparison chamber 42 by the stator 20, and the first pressure comparison chamber 41 is communicated with the gas flow channel 43, so that when the patient exhales gas through the gas inlet 13, the gas can enter the first pressure comparison chamber 41 through the gas flow channel 43, that is, at the beginning stage of gas storage, the gas enters the first pressure comparison chamber 41 through the gas flow channel 43, and in the whole process of gas storage, the first pressure comparison chamber 41 is in accordance with (or is called as, substantially equal to) the gas pressure of the gas flow channel 43. The biasing mechanism 50 is used to provide a force for rotation of the rotor 30 in a first direction. The throttling mechanism 80 is connected to the gas outlet 14 so that the gas flowing out of the gas outlet 14 passes through the throttling mechanism 80, and a pressure ratio flow passage 44 is formed between the throttling mechanism 80 and the second pressure ratio chamber 42. In the present invention, the throttle mechanism 80 is such that: the throttling mechanism 80 provides a throttling opening, when the gas flowing out from the gas outlet 14 passes through the throttling opening, the pressure of the gas is reduced, that is, the pressure of the gas flowing out from the gas outlet 14 when the gas does not pass through the throttling mechanism 80 is larger than the pressure of the gas after the gas passes through the throttling mechanism 80; in the present invention, since the throttling mechanism 80 is communicated with the second pressure ratio chamber 42 through the pressure ratio flow passage 44, so that the pressure of the gas in the second pressure ratio chamber 42 is equal to (or substantially equal to) the pressure of the gas flowing out through the throttling mechanism 80, and since the collecting bag 60 is communicated with the throttling mechanism 80, the pressure of the gas in the bag body 61 is equal to (or substantially equal to) the pressure of the gas flowing out through the throttling mechanism 80, and therefore, the pressure of the gas in the second pressure ratio chamber 42 is equal to (or substantially equal to) the pressure of the gas in the bag body 61 in real time. In the present invention, the flow cross section S1 of the gas flow rate entering the gas channel 43 through the gas inlet 13 is changed by the rotation of the rotor 30 (the flow cross section is a parameter for limiting the gas flow rate and is a known concept in the field of fluidics and will not be described in detail herein) (actually, the pressure of the gas in the gas inlet 13 decreases after passing through the flow cross section, that is, the pressure P0 of the gas before passing through the flow cross section S1 is higher than the pressure P1 of the gas after passing through the flow cross section S1). Specifically, the manner of varying the through-flow section S1 is: when the rotor 30 rotates in the first direction, the flow cross section S1 defining the flow rate of the gas entering the gas channel 43 via the gas inlet 13 increases, and when the rotor 30 rotates in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the flow cross section S1 defining the gas channel 43 entering the gas channel 43 via the gas inlet 13 decreases. In the present invention, the acting direction of the gas in the first pressure ratio chamber 41 on the rotor 30 is the same as the second direction, and the acting direction of the gas in the second pressure ratio chamber 42 on the rotor 30 is the same as the first direction; the area of action of the gas in the first pressure ratio chamber 41 on the rotor 30 is substantially equal to the area of action of the gas in the second pressure ratio chamber 42 on the rotor 30.
It should be noted that: the following mechanical properties were selected as the biasing mechanism 50: when the shaft is rotated in both directions such that the flow cross section S1 switches between 0 and a maximum value, the force of the biasing mechanism 50 on the rotor 30 remains substantially constant or varies very little.
The advantages of the gas collecting device provided by the above embodiments are described in detail below:
when the collecting device is not in use, as shown in fig. 1, due to the biasing mechanism 50 causing the flow cross-section S1 to be in a larger area, when the patient starts to exhale, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the gas rapidly enters the first pressure comparison chamber 41 through the gas flow passage 43, and simultaneously flows through the orifice of the throttling mechanism 80 through the gas outlet 14, and flows out of the orifice into the bag body 61, and a part of the gas enters the second pressure comparison chamber 42 through the pressure comparison flow passage 44, when the first pressure ratio chamber 41 and the second pressure ratio chamber 42 are filled with gas, the rotor 30 rotates to a certain angle and does not rotate any more, and the flow cross section S1 is maintained at a constant value, and at this time, the force F2 of the gas in the first pressure ratio chamber 41 on the rotor 30 is equal to the combined force F3 of the gas in the second pressure ratio chamber 42 on the rotor 30 and the force F4 of the bias actuator on the rotor 30.
As the pressure of the patient's exhalation increases, the gas flow passage 43 and thus the first pressure ratio increases relative to the pressure P1 in chamber 41, although the second pressure ratio also increases relative to the pressure P2 in chamber 42, but by an amount less than the first pressure ratio relative to the pressure in chamber 41, which causes: the acting force of the gas in the first pressure ratio chamber 41 on the rotor 30 is greater than the sum of the acting force of the gas in the second pressure ratio chamber 42 on the rotor 30 and the acting force of the bias actuating mechanism on the rotor 30, the rotor 30 rotates in the second direction, the flow cross section S1 is reduced, so that the pressure in the first pressure ratio chamber 41 is reduced, and the stress on the rotor 30 reaches the new balance, namely: the force F2 of the gas in the first pressure ratio chamber 41 on the rotor 30 is again equal to the combined force F3 of the gas in the second pressure ratio chamber 42 on the rotor 30 and the force F4 of the bias actuator on the rotor 30.
When the pressure at the patient's exhalation is reduced, the gas flow passage 43 and the first pressure ratio are reduced to the pressure in the chamber 41, although the second pressure ratio is also reduced to the pressure in the chamber 42, but by an amount less than the first pressure ratio to the pressure in the chamber 41, which results in: the acting force of the gas in the first pressure ratio cavity 41 on the rotor 30 is smaller than the sum of the acting force of the gas in the second pressure ratio cavity 42 on the rotor 30 and the acting force of the bias actuating mechanism on the rotor 30, the rotor 30 rotates towards the first direction, the through flow section is increased, and therefore the pressure in the first pressure ratio cavity 41 is increased, and the stress on the rotor 30 reaches a new balance, namely: the force F2 of the gas in the first pressure ratio chamber 41 on the rotor 30 is again equal to the combined force F3 of the gas in the second pressure ratio chamber 42 on the rotor 30 and the force F4 of the bias actuator on the rotor 30.
Importantly, the method comprises the following steps: the volume of the bag body 61 is expanded continuously during the process of continuously collecting the gas, and the pressure of the gas in the bag body 61 is also increased continuously, however, the gas collecting device provided by the invention ensures that the flow rate of the gas flowing into the bag body 61 is not influenced by the increase of the pressure of the gas in the bag body 61.
The specific reasons are that: although the increase in the pressure of the gas in the pockets 61 causes the rotor 30 to rotate constantly, and the corresponding through-flow section S1 to vary constantly, however, since the force F2 of the gas in the first pressure ratio chamber 41 on the rotor 30 is always equal to the resultant force F3 of the gas in the second pressure ratio chamber 42 on the rotor 30 and the force F4 of the bias actuator on the rotor 30, and according to the above, even if the rotor 30 is in a different rotation angle state, the force of the biasing mechanism 50 on the rotor 30 is kept substantially constant, in this way, the pressure difference of the action of the gas in the first pressure ratio chamber 41 and the second pressure ratio chamber 42 on the rotor 30 is always basically unchanged, since the areas of action of the gas in the two chambers on the rotor 30 are the same, it follows that the difference between the pressure P1 of the gas in the first pressure ratio chamber 41 and the pressure P2 of the gas in the second pressure ratio chamber 42 remains substantially constant. And because the second pressure ratio is the same as the pressure of the gas in the bag 61 with the pressure of the gas in the chamber 42, the difference between the pressure P1 before the gas outlet 14 enters the throttling mechanism 80 and the pressure P2 of the gas flowing out from the throttling opening is kept substantially constant.
It should be noted that: according to the fluid theory, for a flow channel with a defined throughflow cross section, the flow rate of the gas flow through the flow channel is constant, while the pressure difference across it is constant. For a throttle mechanism 80 having a throttle orifice, the cross-sectional area of the orifice is the area of the flow cross-section S2 that defines the flow rate of gas therethrough, and when the cross-sectional area of the orifice is determined and the pressure differential across it is also constant, the flow rate of gas therethrough is also constant.
As may be appreciated from the above discussion, because the difference between pressure P1 before gas outlet 14 enters throttling mechanism 80 and pressure P2 of the gas exiting the orifice remains substantially constant, and because the orifice defined by throttling mechanism 80 does not change during patient exhalation, the flow of gas through the orifice remains substantially constant, i.e.: the flow rate of the air flow flowing out of the throttle mechanism 80 and into the bag body 61 is kept substantially constant, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
According to the above, the present invention provides two pressure comparison chambers, and compares the gas flowing out from the throttling mechanism 80 into the second pressure comparison chamber 42 with the gas pressure in the first pressure comparison chamber 41, so that the difference between the gas pressure before entering the throttling mechanism 80 and the gas pressure flowing out from the throttling mechanism 80 is kept substantially constant, and thus the flow rate of the gas flowing into the bag 61 is kept substantially constant during the exhalation of the patient.
The gas collecting device provided by the invention ensures that the flow of the gas entering the bag body 61 is not changed under the influence of the gas pressure in the bag body 61.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 to 5, the housing 10 includes a cylindrical body 11 and a cover 12 covering the body 11, wherein a central portion inside the body 11 is provided with a mandrel 15; the stator 20 is in a sector shape extending in the circumferential direction, and the stator 20 is fixed in the body 11; the rotor 30 comprises a sleeve-shaped main body 32 and a sector 31 combined on the sleeve-shaped main body 32, the sleeve-shaped main body 32 is sleeved on the mandrel 15, and two ends of the sector 31 in the circumferential direction and two ends of the stator 20 in the circumferential direction respectively define a first pressure comparison cavity 41 and a second pressure comparison cavity 42; the biasing mechanism 50 includes a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the spindle 15, and two ends of the torsion spring are respectively connected with the spindle 15 and the sleeve-shaped main body 32.

The pressure ratio flow passage 44 is formed by an inner hole of the second conduit 21, the second conduit 21 includes an outer tube 212 and an inner tube 211, the inner tube 211 is formed inside the stator 20, and one end of the inner tube 211 penetrates through the second pressure ratio cavity 42, and the other end penetrates through the outside of the body 11 and is connected with one end of the outer tube 212; and the other end of the outer tube 212 communicates with the gas flow outlet of the throttle mechanism 80.
It should be noted that: the torsion spring with the lowest torsion coefficient is selected as the torsion spring, and the torsion deformation degree of the torsion spring is enabled to be as large as possible, so that the acting force of the torsion spring on the rotor 30 is basically kept unchanged when the rotor 30 rotates to enable the through-flow section to be switched between 0 and the maximum value.
The advantages of the above embodiment are:
1. the first pressure ratio chamber 41 and the second pressure ratio chamber 42 are formed at both ends of the rotor 30 so that the forces of the gases in the two chambers against the rotor 30 are all used for calculation of the balance of the forces in the circumferential direction.
2. On the sector 3131 there is provided a buffer cavity 312 which, on the one hand, provides a certain buffer effect on the gas coming from the inlet port 13 and, on the other hand, the second cavity wall 3122 with the inlet port 13 is able to define a through-flow cross-section, making it possible to define the through-flow cross-section by rotation of the rotor 30.
