DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions according to the present disclosure are clearly and completely described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings and the embodiments of the present disclosure. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only part but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts based on the embodiments in the present disclosure are within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a respiratory monitor device. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, the respiratory monitor device includes an external tubing 11 and a monitor 12. The external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 are detachably connected. That is, whether the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 are in a separated state or in an aligned state may be selected according to application requirements.

The external tubing 11 has a gas inlet and a gas outlet. The gas inlet is in communication with the gas outlet by a chamber of the external tubing 11. The external tubing 11 includes a plurality of first through holes 111 not shown in FIG. 1. The gas inlet may be connected to an external instrument, and the gas outlet may be in direct contact with the user. For example, the gas inlet may be connected to an oxygen generator, which is configured to provide oxygen to the respiratory monitor device.

The monitor 12 includes a plurality of second through holes 121. When the external tubing 11 is connected to the monitor 12, the plurality of first through holes 111 are in communication with the plurality of second through holes 121 in one-to-one correspondence. The monitor 12 is configured to detect the gas entering the monitor 12 from the second through holes 121.

Gas such as oxygen or air may enter the external tubing 11 by the gas inlet. A part of the gas flows out from the gas outlet and provides the oxygen to the user, and the other part of the gas flows into the monitor 12 by the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121. The monitor 12 monitors a flow rate of the gas. The dotted arrow in FIG. 1 indicates a flow path of the oxygen.

Exhaled gas of the user may also enter the external tubing 11 from the gas outlet. A part of the exhaled gas flows out from the gas inlet, and the other part of the exhaled gas flows into the monitor 12 by the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121. The monitor 12 monitors the flow rate of the exhaled gas to monitor a respiratory condition of the user.

Moreover, when the external tubing 11 includes a plurality of first through holes 111, the gas circulating in the external tubing 11 may enter the monitor 12 from different first through holes 111.

In summary, in the respiratory monitor device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the monitor is detachably connected to the external tubing, when the external tubing needs to be cleaned, the external tubing can be detached from the respiratory monitor device, and the external tubing is cleaned separately to avoid damage to the monitor during cleaning since the external tubing and the monitor cannot be detached.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the shapes of the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 are not limited as long as the first through hole 111 is butt-jointed to and in communication with the second through hole 121. In an example, the end opening of one end of the first through hole 111 to be butt-jointed with the second through hole 121, and the end opening of one end of the second through hole 121 to be butt-jointed with the first through hole 111 may be correspondingly the same in shape and size.

As a first practice of detachable connection between the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12, both the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 have a connecting surface. One of the connecting surfaces of the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 has a clamping slot, and the other connecting surface has a protrusion matching the clamping slot. The external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 are detachably connected by the clamping slot and the protrusion. That is, when the clamping slot and the protrusion are connected in a clamping manner, the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 are in the connected state. When the clamping slot and the protrusion are not connected in a clamping manner, the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 are in the separated state.

As a second practice of the detachable connection between the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12, both the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 have a connecting surface. One of the connecting surfaces of the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 has a plurality of clamping slots arranged in an array. The other connecting surface has a plurality of protrusions which are arranged in an array and match the plurality of multiple clamping slots respectively. The external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 are detachably connected by the plurality of protrusions and the plurality of clamping slots. That is, when the plurality of clamping slots and the plurality of protrusions are connected in a manner of clamping and one-to-one correspondence, the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 are in the connected state. When the plurality of clamping slots and the plurality of protrusions are not connected in a clamping manner, the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 are in the separated state.

Optionally, the arrangement of the plurality of clamping slots and the plurality of protrusion arrays may be circular arrangement, or linear arrangement. In this way, on one hand, the insertion and removal of the clamping slot and the protrusion are facilitated. On the other hand, the effective fixing of the clamping slot and the protrusion can be realized to ensure the connecting stability of the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12.

Moreover, in the first and second practice, the shapes of the clamping slot and the protrusion may be selected according to application requirements, which is not specifically limited by the embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the clamping slot may be a rectangular slot, and the protrusion may be a rectangular protrusion matching the rectangular slot. For another example, the clamping slot is a circular slot, and the protrusion may be a circular protrusion matching the circular slot.

As a third practice of the detachable connection between the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12, the plurality of first through holes 111 and the plurality of second through holes 121 may be connected by a pluggable connecting tube. That is, when the external tubing 11 needs to be fixedly connected to the monitor 12, a first end of the connecting tube may be fixedly connected to the external tubing 11, and a second end of the connecting tube may be fixedly connected to the monitor 12. When the external tubing 11 needs to be separated from the monitor 12, the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 may be separated from the connecting tube respectively.

Exemplarily, the external tubing 11 may have a first annular protrusion surrounding the first through hole 111, and the monitor 12 may have a second annular protrusion surrounding the second through hole 121. When the external tubing 11 is connected to the monitor 12, the first end of the connecting tube sleeves the first annular protrusion, the second end of the connecting tube sleeves the second annular protrusion, and the first through hole 111 is in communication with the through hole 121 by a tube body of the connecting tube.

Moreover, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the shapes of the first annular protrusion and the second annular protrusion are not limited, as long as the first annular protrusion surrounds the first through hole 111 and the second annular protrusion surrounds the second through hole 121. For example, each of the shapes of the first annular protrusion and the second annular protrusion is a ring shape or a square ring shape. In one example, a sealing member 13 is the connecting tube.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a distance between the first annular protrusion and the first through hole 111, and a distance between the second annular protrusion and the second through hole 121 are not limited. Optionally, the distance between the first annular protrusion and the first through hole 111 and the distance between the second annular protrusion and the second through hole 121 may be both 1 to 3 millimeters (mm). In this way, the first through hole 111 is butt-jointed to and in communication with the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto more firmly.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, FIG. 10, FIG. 13 and FIG. 16, the respiratory monitor device further includes: the sealing member 13 as shown in the black filled pattern. The sealing member 13 is disposed between the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12. When the external tubing 11 is connected to the monitor 12, the connecting surface of the external tubing 11 and the connecting surface of the monitor 12 are sealed by the sealing member 13.

In this way, when the external tubing 11 is connected to the monitor 12, outside air can be prevented from entering the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121, and the gas in the first through hole and the second through hole is also prevented from flowing out, thereby ensuring a monitoring accuracy of the respiratory monitor device.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a specific structure of the sealing member 13 is not limited, as long as the sealing member 13 can enable the first through hole 111 is butt-jointed to and in communication with the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the position where the sealing member 13 is disposed is not limited, as long as the connecting surface of the external tubing 11 and the connecting surface of the monitor 12 can be sealed by the sealing member 13, such that the first through hole 111 is butt-jointed to and in communication with the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto without blocking the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121. For example, the sealing member 13 is fixed on the external tubing 11 and/or the monitor 12.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a material of the sealing member 13 is not limited either, as long as when the sealing member 13 is subjected to an extrusion force applied by the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12, the extrusion force is greater than the pressure of an external medium where the sealing member 13 is disposed, such that the external tubing 11 is completely attached to the monitor 12 to achieve the butt-jointing and communication between the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto.

Optionally, the sealing member 13 may be a structure which produces a sealing effect by the external extrusion force, or a fixed connection component with threads on the surface, or a structure achieving a connection effect by a magnetic attraction force. Exemplarily, the sealing member 13 is made of a deformable material. At this time, under the action of the extrusion force to the sealing member 13 applied by the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12, the sealing member 13 can seal the connecting surface of the external tubing 11 and the connecting surface of the monitor 12.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 are aligned, the external tubing 11 can be completely attached to the monitor 12 as long as the extrusion force applied to the sealing member 13 from the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 is greater than the pressure of the external medium where the sealing member 13 is disposed. Therefore, the first through hole 111 is butt-jointed to and in communication with the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto, and the sealing is more efficient and more sanitary.

The following examples are taken to illustrate the practice of the sealing member 13.

In one example, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the connecting surface of the external tubing 11 is provided with a first annular slot 112 surrounding the first through hole 111. The sealing member 13 is embedded into the first annular slot 112. A thickness of the sealing member 13 is greater than or equal to a slot depth of the first annular slot 112. At this time, since the thickness of the sealing member 13 is greater than or equal to the slot depth of the first annular slot 112, when the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11 are aligned, the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11 extrude the sealing member 13, such that the connecting surface of the external tubing 11 and the connecting surface of the monitor 12 can be sealed by the sealing member 13. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are enlarged schematic diagrams of the structure inside circle A1 in FIG. 2. Moreover, when the thickness of the sealing member 13 is greater than the slot depth of the first annular slot 112, the sealing member 13 and the first annular slot 112 can achieve an interference fit, thereby effectively ensuring the sealing performance.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, when the first annular slot 112 surrounding the first through hole 111 is disposed in the connecting surface of the external tubing 11, and the sealing member 13 is embedded in the first annular slot 112, the connecting surface of the monitor 12 may be provided with a third annular protrusion 122 surrounding the second through hole 121. The third annular protrusion 122 matches the second annular slot in shape, and a sum of a height of the third annular protrusion 122 and the thickness of the sealing member 13 is greater than or equal to the slot depth of the first annular slot 112. At this time, since the sum of the height of the third annular protrusion 122 and the thickness of the sealing member 13 is greater than or equal to the slot depth of the first annular slot 112, when the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11 are aligned, the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11 extrude the sealing member 13, such that the connecting surface of the external tubing 11 and the connecting surface of the monitor 12 can be sealed by the sealing member 13. FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are enlarged schematic diagrams of the structure inside the circle A2 in FIG. 5.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the shapes of the first annular slot 112 and the third annular protrusion 122 are not limited, as long as the first annular slot 112 surrounds the first through hole 111 and the third annular protrusion 122 surrounds the second through hole 121. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the shape of the first annular slot 112 may be a ring shape (the shape of the sealing member 13 in FIG. 8 is the shape of the first annular slot 112). As shown in FIG. 9, the third annular protrusion 122 may be a ring shape. Correspondingly, the sealing member 13 may be a ring-shaped sealing ring.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance d1 between the first annular slot 112 and the first through hole 111, and the distance d2 between the third annular protrusion 122 and the second through hole 121 are not limited. Optionally, the distance d1 between the first annular slot 112 and the first through hole 111 and the distance d2 between the third annular protrusion 122 and the second through hole 121 are both 1 to 3 mm. In this way, the first through hole 111 is butt-jointed to and in communication with the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto more firmly.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sealing member 13 is embedded in the first annular slot 112. When the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11 are aligned, the third annular protrusion 122 and the first annular slot 112 simultaneously apply the extrusion force to the sealing member 13. Therefore, the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 are completely attached, such that the connecting surface of the external tubing 11 and the connecting surface of the monitor 12 are sealed by the sealing member 13.

The sealing member 13 may also be embedded into the first annular slot 112 and sleeve the third annular protrusion 122, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In another example, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the connecting surface of the monitor 12 is provided with a second annular slot 123 surrounding the second through hole 121, and the sealing member 13 is embedded into the second annular slot 123. The thickness of the sealing member 13 is greater than or equal to the slot depth of the second annular slot 123. At this time, since the thickness of the sealing member 13 is greater than or equal to the depth of the second annular slot 123, when the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11 are aligned, the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11 extrude the sealing member 13, such that the connecting surface of the external tubing 11 and the connecting surface of the monitor 12 can be sealed by the sealing member. FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are enlarged schematic diagrams of the structure inside the circle B1 in FIG. 10.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, when the second annular slot 123 surrounding the second through hole 121 is disposed in the connecting surface of the monitor 12, and the sealing member 13 is embedded into the second annular slot 123, the connecting surface of the external tubing 11 is provided with a fourth annular protrusion 113 surrounding the first through hole 111. The fourth annular protrusion 113 matches the second annular slot 123 in shape. A sum of a height of the fourth annular protrusion 113 and the thickness of the sealing member 13 is greater than or equal to the slot depth of the second annular slot 123. At this time, since the sum of the height of the fourth annular protrusion 113 and the thickness of the sealing member 13 is greater than or equal to the depth of the second annular slot 123, when the monitor 12 and the external tubing are aligned, the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11 extrude the sealing member 13, such that the connecting surface of the external tubing 11 and the connecting surface of the monitor 12 can be sealed by the sealing member 13. FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 are enlarged schematic diagrams of the structure inside the circle B2 in FIG. 13.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the shapes of the fourth annular protrusion 113 and the second annular slot 123 are not limited, as long as the fourth annular protrusion 113 surrounds the first through hole 111 and the second annular slot 123 surrounds the second through hole 121. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the shape of the fourth annular protrusion 113 may be a ring shape. As shown in FIG. 8, the shape of the second annular slot 123 may be a ring shape (the shape of the sealing member 13 in FIG. 8 is the shape of the second annular slot 123). Correspondingly, the sealing member 13 may be a ring-shaped sealing ring.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance d3 between the fourth annular protrusion 113 and the first through hole 111, and the distance d4 between the second annular slot 123 and the second through hole 121 are not limited. Optionally, the distance d3 between the fourth annular protrusion 113 and the first through hole 111 and the distance d4 between the second annular slot 123 and the second through hole 121 are both 1 to 3 mm. In this way, the first through hole 111 is butt-jointed to and in communication with the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto more firmly.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sealing member 13 is embedded in the second annular slot 123. When the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11 are aligned, the fourth annular protrusion 113 and the second annular slot 123 simultaneously apply the extrusion force to the sealing member 13. Therefore, the external tubing 11 is completely attached to the monitor 12 to achieve a sealed connection between the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto.

The sealing member 13 may be embedded in the second annular slot 123 and also sleeve the fourth annular protrusion 113, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In still another example, as shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the connecting surface of the monitor 12 is provided with a third annular slot 124 surrounding the second through hole 121. The connecting surface of the external tubing 11 is provided a fourth annular slot 114 surrounding the first through hole 111. The sealing member 13 is embedded into at least one of the third annular slot 124 and the fourth annular slot 114, and the thickness of the sealing member 13 is greater than or equal to the sum of the slot depths of the third annular slot 124 and the fourth annular slot 114. At this time, since the thickness of the sealing member 13 is greater than or equal to the sum of the slot depths of the third annular slot 124 and the fourth annular slot 114, when the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11 are aligned, the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 simultaneously extrude the sealing member 13, such that the connecting surface of the external tubing 11 and the connecting surface of the monitor 12 can be sealed by the sealing member 13. FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 are enlarged schematic diagrams of the structure inside the circle C1 in FIG. 16.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the shapes of the third annular slot 124 and the fourth annular slot 114 are not limited, as long as the fourth annular slot 114 surrounds the first through hole 111 and the third annular slot 124 surrounds the second through hole. 121. Exemplarily, the shapes of the third annular slot 124 and the fourth annular slot 114 are both a ring shape. Correspondingly, the sealing member 13 may be a ring-shaped sealing ring.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance d5 between the fourth annular slot 114 and the first through hole 111, and the distance d6 between the third annular slot 124 and the second through hole 121 are not limited. Optionally, the distance d5 between the fourth annular slot 114 and the first through hole 111 and the distance d6 between the third annular slot 124 and the second through hole 121 are both 1 to 3 mm. In this way, the first through hole 111 is butt-jointed to and in communication with the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto more firmly.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of first through holes 111 are arranged in sequence along a direction from the gas inlet to the gas outlet. Correspondingly, the plurality of second through holes 121 are also arranged in sequence along the direction from the gas inlet to the gas outlet. That is, the plurality of first through holes 111 and the plurality of second through holes 121 are arranged in sequence along a gas flow path. In this way, the monitor 12 can detect the gas flow at different positions on the gas flow path, thereby effectively ensuring the detection accuracy.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the monitor 12 is configured to detect a pressure difference of the gas based on the flow direction of the gas, so as to measure a flow rate of the gas. In one example, the monitor 12 may also include a pressure sensor and a differential pressure sensor. The gas flowing into the monitor 12 from the first through hole 111 flows to the pressure sensor and the differential pressure sensor by the second through hole 121. The differential pressure sensor measures the pressure difference of the gas based on the received gas, and the pressure sensor measures a pressure intensity of the gas based on the received gas. Based on the pressure difference and the pressure intensity, the flow rate of the gas circulating in the external tubing can be calculated to realize the monitoring of the flow rate of the gas circulating in the external tubing. When the gas circulating in the external tubing is the gas input to the user, by monitoring the flow rate of the gas, it can be ensured that the gas flow rate inhaled by the user is within a reasonable range. When the gas circulating in the external tubing is the gas exhaled by the user, the respiration of the user can be monitored by monitoring the flow rate of the gas.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1, the number of second through holes 121 may be three. The monitor 12 includes at least one pressure sensor and at least one differential pressure sensor. In the at least three second through holes 121, certain ends of two adjacent second through holes 121 going distally from the external tubing 11 are both in direct contact with the differential pressure sensor, and one end of any one second through hole 121 of the remaining second through holes 121 going distally from the external tubing 11 is in direct contact with the pressure sensor. The differential pressure sensor is configured to acquire the difference of the pressure intensities of the gas entering the monitor 12 from the two adjacent second through holes 121. The pressure sensor is configured to acquire the pressure intensity of the gas entering the monitor 12 from any one second through hole 121 of the remaining second through holes 121.

When the gas flows in the direction from the gas inlet to the gas outlet, a part of the gas may flow into the monitor 12 through the first through hole 111. Therefore, the plurality of second through holes 121 are arranged in sequence along the direction from the gas inlet to the gas outlet. Besides, certain ends of two adjacent second through holes 121 going distally from the external tubing 11 are in direct contact with the differential pressure sensor. The pressure difference of the gas from the two adjacent second through holes 121 to the differential pressure sensor can be measured, and the flow rate of the gas is calculated based on the pressure difference, thereby ensuring that the flow rate of the gas inhaled by the user is within a reasonable range.

Alternatively, when the gas exhaled by the user flows in the direction from the gas outlet to the gas inlet, a part of the gas may flow into the monitor 12 through the first through hole 111. Therefore, the plurality of second through holes 121 are arranged in sequence along the direction from the gas inlet to the gas outlet, and certain ends of two adjacent second through holes 121 going distally from the external tubing 11 are in direct contact with the differential pressure sensor. The pressure difference of the gas exhaled by the user from the two adjacent second through holes 121 to the differential pressure sensor can be measured. Besides, the flow rate of the gas exhaled by the user is calculated based on the pressure difference, so as to monitor the respiratory condition of the user.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second through hole 121 in direct contact with the pressure sensor may be disposed in one side, close to the gas inlet, of the two adjacent second through holes 121 in direct contact with the differential pressure sensor. Or, the second through hole 121 in direct contact with the pressure sensor may be disposed in one side, close to the gas outlet, of the two adjacent second through holes 121 in direct contact with the differential pressure sensor.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by disposing the second through hole 121 for transmitting the gas to the pressure sensor and the differential pressure sensor in the monitor 12, on the basis of realizing the respiratory monitoring function, the gas flow rate at the gas outlet is not affected, and a gas supply of the respiratory monitor device is saved.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 19, the respiratory monitor device further includes a locking switch 14. The locking switch 14 is configured to fixedly connect the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11. That is, when the locking switch 14 is in a locked state, the locking switch 14 is configured to fixedly connect the monitor 12 and the external tubing 22. When the locking switch 14 is in an unlocked state, the monitor 12 can be separated from the external tubing.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the locking switch 14 may be disposed on an inner side surface or outer side surface of the respiratory monitor device. Moreover, in the case where the locking switch 14 is disposed on the inner side surface of the respiratory monitor device, a trigger switch may be disposed on the outer side surface of the respiratory monitor device, such that the state of the locking switch 14 is controlled by using the trigger switch. Alternatively, a communicative connection between the respiratory monitor device and a mobile terminal may be established, and the trigger switch is disposed on the mobile terminal, such that the state of the locking switch 14 is controlled by the trigger switch. Exemplarily, the mobile terminal may be a mobile phone. For example, the trigger switch may be a touch switch.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the structure of the locking switch 14 is not limited, as long as the locking switch 14 can enable the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 to be fixedly connected. For example, the locking switch 14 may be one of a snap switch and an electromagnetic switch. The locking switch 14 may also have other structures, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the locking switch 14 is configured to fixedly connect the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11 or separate the monitor 12 from the external tubing 11. Meanwhile, if the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto are hermetically connected based on the extrusion force applied to the sealing member 13 from the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12, the locking switch 14 is configured to fixedly connect the monitor 12 and the external tubing 11, which is equivalent to applying the extrusion force to the sealing member 13. Therefore, the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto are hermetically connected through the sealing member 13. The locking switch 14 is unlocked, which is equivalent to removing the extrusion force applied to the sealing member 13, the monitor 12 is separated from the external tubing 11, and the first through hole 111 is separated from the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto.

In summary, in the respiratory monitor device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the monitor is detachably connected to the external tubing, when the external tubing needs to be cleaned, the external tubing can be detached from the respiratory monitor device, and the external tubing is cleaned separately to avoid damage to the monitor during cleaning since the external tubing and the monitor are non-removable.

The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a respiratory monitoring system, which, as shown in FIG. 20, includes an oxygen generator 20 and the respiratory monitor device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. An oxygen outlet of the oxygen generator 20 may be fixedly connected to the gas inlet of the respiratory monitor device.

The embodiment of the present disclosure provides the respiratory monitoring system, including the oxygen generator 20 and the respiratory monitor device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. The oxygen generator 20 is configured to deliver oxygen to the respiratory monitor device so as to provide oxygen to the user. The respiratory monitor device is configured to hermetically connect the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 corresponding thereto by using the sealing member 13 when the external tubing 11 and the monitor 12 are aligned. Outside air is prevented from entering the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121, and the gas in the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 is also prevented from flowing out, thereby avoiding the impact on the accuracy of the respiratory monitor device. Meanwhile, as long as the sealing member 13 is loosened, the external tubing 11 can be separated from the monitor 12, such that the external tubing 11 is cleaned separately.
