Respiratory therapy device with multi-port connector
The granted patent US12070554B2 describes a respiratory therapy device designed to deliver respiratory treatments to users through a sophisticated multi-port connector system. The device features a respiratory control unit linked to a respiratory circuit, which includes an adaptor and a multi-port connector. This connector comprises a connector base, a receiver disk, and multiple barbed conduits. Each barbed conduit is engineered with a head section for coupling with the adaptor, a barbed section for secure attachment, and a retainer section that engages with the receiver disk. The design ensures a friction-interference fit, allowing the barbed conduits to withstand a pull force of at least 200 Newtons, thereby preventing accidental disconnection during use.
Additionally, the receiver disk is pivotably mounted to the connector base, enabling it to switch between unlocked and locked orientations. This feature facilitates the coupling of the adaptor to the barbed conduits when in the unlocked position. The device also incorporates detent notches and tabs to secure the receiver disk in place, enhancing stability during operation. The materials used for the receiver disk and barbed conduits are specified to be metallic, with stainless steel being a preferred option. The design includes guide slots for proper alignment of the adaptor, ensuring ease of use and reliability in delivering respiratory therapy. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive solution aimed at improving the functionality and safety of respiratory therapy devices.
