A few days ago, Buycar.cn was officially informed by Tesla that because the global epidemic is spreading, in the face of the shortage of respirators, many companies have said that they will invest in the production of respirators and other medical devices, and Tesla is no exception. According to the official information, Tesla will use a lot of Model?3 car parts to make the ventilator, and try not to use medical equipment parts, which means they will not "take away" the supply chain of professional manufacturers, and a large number of ready-made inventory parts can be quickly put into mass production.
The image above shows the overall design of the Tesla ventilator, with the orange modules shown as parts of a Tesla car. One of the core of the ventilator is "flow control", in which Tesla uses the control computer on the Model 3 to drive the precise variable valves that control the ventilator to exchange information; at the same time, the 15-inch screen on the Model 3 serves as the control panel of the ventilator, which can adjust the air pressure, flow rate and air volume, and other components, forming a complete set of medical components. other components to form a complete medical ventilator.
If there is a change in a patient's breathing, the big screen will display both the present and 12-seconds-ago curves, so doctors can judge whether the condition is getting better or worse based on the curve changes.
Meanwhile, Tesla also has a backup system on the ventilator, including oxygen tanks, air pumps and batteries for emergencies, as well as giving doctors 20-40 minutes to move the patient, leading to more flexible treatment.
According to officials, the Tesla ventilator is expected to be mass-produced and put into hospital use soon.
