Noise reduction device for respiratory apparatus

Abstract

A noise reduction device (100) for a respiratory apparatus (162) including a body (104) with a gas outlet (106) arranged to be mounted on the gas inlet (164) of the respiratory apparatus (162), and a cover (102) configured to be detachably engaged with the body (104) for forming a gas inlet (156) and a gas passage (138). The cover (102) includes a guiding member (136) to define at least a part of the gas passage (138) and the guiding member (136) is configured to be coupled with the body (104) to form the gas passage (138) between the body (104) and the cover (102). The noise reduction device (100) in the present invention provides a longer and smooth passage (138) for the gas to flow from the gas inlet (156) to the gas outlet (106) for reduction of turbulence and resistance of gas flow and hence reducing the noise caused by the friction between the fluctuated gas flow and the gas inlet (164) of the respiratory apparatus (162).
