Physically adjustable air supllier

The design is a piston-cylinder type air supplier that lets medical staff adjust the airflow rate to match each patient's breathing needs. The main part of this component relies on a simple crank-slider mechanism to deliver air to the patient. The crankshaft can be connected to a motor to operate automatically. A specially designed snap-on pin allows the crank to fit into different levels, which changes the volume of air pushed into the valve system. In emergency situations where complex computing systems are unavailable, this method enables medical staff to physically adjust the airflow rate to a suitable level for patients of all ages - children, adults or elderly individuals. The materials used for these components are flexible since there are hardly any forces or pressures that can cause failures. As a result, they can be made entirely out of plastic and 3D-printed. The cylinder casing is preferably made of transparent materials so medical staff can ensure it's working correctly.
