Expiration valve control for automatic respirator
First Claim
1. In an expiration valve control adapted to control an expiration valve installed in an expiration circuit of an automatic respirator,a control pressure generating means for generating a control pressure for controlling the opening and closing of an expiration value, a pressure control means for controllably increasing said control pressure,a pressure detector means for detecting said increased pressure,an exhaust control means for controllably releasing said increased pressure, anda control means for controlling said pressure control means and said exhaust control means on the basis of the result detected by said pressure detector means such that said increased pressure will be maintained at a predetermined pressure level.

Abstract
An expiration valve for an automatic respirator comprises a main body which is separable into a valve body and a diaphragm and a container which engages to a tube for supplying control pressure to one side of the diaphragm. A means for controlling such an expiration valve comprises a means for generating pressure for opening and closing the valve, a means for controlling this pressure, a pressure detector means, an exhaust means and a control means so that the valve can be electronically controlled for both the valve opening/closing functions and for the positive end expiratory pressure function.
