Interface for ventilator
A ventilator comprising a respiratory gas source and control systems, a housing with a receptacle and, lying at the base in a depression, an interface for receiving different data transfer sticks and data storage sticks.
1 . A ventilator, wherein the ventilator comprises a housing, at least one respiratory gas source, at least one control system and at least one interface, wherein the housing comprises a receptacle for the at least one interface, and the receptacle is arranged with the interface in a depression of the housing, wherein the depression is designed as a well, and the well has an opening, wherein at least two peripheral walls extend from the opening, in a direction of an interior of the ventilator, as far as to a base, and wherein the receptacle is arranged with the interface in a region of the base or of a peripheral wall of the depression.
2 . The ventilator of claim 1 , wherein the depression is closable by a lid.
3 . The ventilator of claim 1 , wherein at least one peripheral wall comprises guide elements for guiding a data transfer stick and/or a data storage stick and supporting same in a mounted state.
4 . The ventilator of claim 2 , wherein the lid is arranged movably relative to the housing and is secured on the housing.
5 . The ventilator of claim 2 , wherein the lid comprises at least one fitting or a surface structuring in order to make it easier to open the lid.
6 . The ventilator of claim 2 , wherein a mechanism is installed in the housing and/or a peripheral wall, which mechanism at least partially opens the lid when pressure is applied and returns it again to a starting position when renewed pressure is applied.
7 . The ventilator of claim 1 , wherein the receptacle with the interface, and the depression are sealed off from an interior of the ventilator.
8 . The ventilator of claim 2 , wherein the lid can be closed using a tool.
9 . The ventilator of claim 2 , wherein the lid is designed as a slide.
10 . The ventilator of claim 2 , wherein the lid, in a closed state, latches in a corresponding device in the peripheral walls and/or a housing edge and/or in/on the housing.
11 . The ventilator of claim 1 , wherein the depression is arranged in an outer face of the housing, at a distance from a housing edge.
12 . The ventilator of claim 1 , wherein the receptacle with the interface is recessed in the housing in such a way that a data transfer stick plugged in the receptacle and in the interface can be arranged fully in the depression and terminates at most flush with a surface of the housing but does not protrude beyond the housing surface.
13 . The ventilator of claim 1 , wherein the interface and/or the receptacle and/or the depression comprises a stick positioning device, and a data transfer stick or a data storage stick is guided, by actuating the stick positioning device, into a position in which it no longer terminates flush with the housing or is arranged inside the housing but instead at least partially protrudes from the housing.
14 . The ventilator of claim 1 , wherein the interface electrically and optionally mechanically connects a data transfer stick to an electronic circuit board present in the ventilator, directly or via a cable connection, and wherein the interface is connected electrically conductively to a control unit of the ventilator and is configured for communication of data signals with the ventilator.
15 . The ventilator of claim 1 , wherein a data transfer stick is designed as an insert module which can be inserted into the receptacle and plugged into the interface, wherein the interface, through a connection of the data transfer stick, constitutes a transmitter/receiver for establishing a wireless connection.
16 . The ventilator of at claim 1 , wherein the interface and/or the receptacle and/or the base and/or the depression and/or the well and/or at least one peripheral wall comprises elements and/or is configured to prevent or attenuate electrical fields and radio-frequency waves in at least one blocking direction.
17 . The ventilator of claim 1 , wherein the receptacle with the interface is arranged movably in the depression.
18 . The ventilator of claim 1 , wherein the depression further comprises at least one component and/or at least one port in addition to the interface, and wherein a region of the interface in the depression is at least partially spatially separated from the at least one further component and/or port by an at least partially formed partition wall.
19 . A system for establishing a wireless connection, wherein the system comprises the ventilator of claim 1 , at least one data transfer stick and at least one lid, wherein the data transfer stick is connected removably in the depression to the interface, and wherein the depression can be closed with the at least one lid.
20 . The ventilator of claim 1 , wherein the interface comprises protection against spray water and contact.
