Rebreathing apparatus having inhaled oxygen mixing and exhaled carbon dioxide removal functions by electronic control

Abstract

A rebreathing apparatus having inhaled oxygen mixing and exhaled carbon dioxide removal functions, enabling rebreathing by maintaining the amount of breathing oxygen by inhalation and removing carbon dioxide discharged by exhalation. The rebreathing apparatus includes a mask having one side to which an inhalation hose is connected and the other side to which an exhalation hose is connected; an exhaled breath storing container storing exhaled breath; a filter removing carbon dioxide; an inhaled breath storing container storing the air having passed through the filter; an oxygen storing container supplying oxygen to the inhalation storing container; a decompressor installed at an inlet of the oxygen storing container; an oxygen mixing module mixing the oxygen discharged through the oxygen supplying hose with the air; and a controller controlling operations of the exhaled breath storing container, the inhaled breath storing container, the oxygen storing container, the filter, and the oxygen mixing module.
