[0003] A long tube breathing apparatus is a protective article that is used to isolate the exhalation organs of a wearer's face from the surrounding air and supply breathing air through a long tube, and is commonly used in occasions such as fire fighting and rescue of chemical fires. Some of the long tubes that supply air to the breathing mask claim to have heat resistance performance and should meet the corresponding heat resistance performance test requirements. That is, when the supply pressure claimed by the manufacturer is reached in the air supply pipe, the respiratory protection device is tested on the breathing machine at a flow rate of 25 × 2.0 L / min. A 100-mm section of the air supply pipe is brought into contact with a heating plate maintained at (130 ± 15) °C, and a section of the pipe after that section is immersed in boiling water. After 15 minutes, the air supply pipe is removed from the heating plate and the boiling water, and signs of damage are detected and it is checked whether the quality of the air passing through the pipe is significantly affected. Currently, the test process is all manual operation, with low test quality and efficiency, and a relatively large labor intensity during the test. At present, there is no suitable automatic test device and method for this. Summary of the Invention

[0039] The air supply pipe support mechanism includes a first electrically controlled lifting member with a vertical axis. The first electrically controlled lifting member uses a first electric lifting rod 10 connected to the control system. The telescopic part 28 thereof is driven by a first servo motor 29 to perform lifting motion. The first servo motor 29 is connected to the control system and is controlled by the control system to work.

[0040] The first electric lifting rod 10 is fixed to the ground foundation by bolts.

[0041] A support member is fixed to the top end of the telescopic part 28 of the first electric lifting rod 10, and the support member is used to support the air supply pipe.

[0042] In this embodiment, the support member includes a first horizontal plate 11. One end of the first horizontal plate 11 is fixed to the top end of the telescopic part 28 of the first electric lifting rod 10 by bolts 12, and a vertical connecting plate 13 is welded and fixed to the bottom surface of the other end.

[0043] The vertical connecting plate 13 is perpendicular to the first horizontal plate 11. Its top end is welded and fixed to the first horizontal plate 11, and its bottom end is welded and fixed to one end of a support rod 22. The axis of the support rod 22 is horizontally arranged and is used to support the air supply pipe 7.

[0044] In this embodiment, the top surface of the support rod 22, which is the surface for supporting the air supply pipe 7, is an arc surface to avoid damaging the air supply pipe during support. The bottom surface of the support rod 22 is a plane, which is convenient for installing the second electrically controlled lifting member.

[0048] The first electric control pan-tilt camera 15 and the second electric control pan-tilt camera 25 can collect images of the air supply pipe, and use the collected images to observe whether the air supply pipe 7 is damaged, without the need for testers to approach the air supply pipe for observation, reducing the labor intensity of testers and improving the test efficiency.

[0049] Through the setting of the second electric lifting rod 23, it can perform a contraction movement when the first electric lifting rod 10 descends, so that the second electric control pan-tilt camera 25 and the third horizontal plate 24 will not collide and be damaged with the ground foundation 1.

[0050] The water bath 16 can use existing equipment. It is placed on the ground foundation 1, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here.

The PLC controller 20 is connected to the air compressor 2, the heating plate 8, the water bath 16, the servo motor, the ventilator 17, the gas quality detector 19 and each sensor by wire or wirelessly to control the automation of the entire test process.

[0055] The PLC controller 20 is connected to the monitoring platform, capable of displaying the detected data on the display screen of the monitoring platform. Meanwhile, the experimenter can send instructions to the PLC controller through the display screen of the monitoring platform to control the operation of each device.

[0056] Embodiment 2

[0057] This embodiment provides a method for the heat resistance performance test device of the air supply pipe of the long tube breathing apparatus described in Embodiment 1, including the following steps:

[0058] Step 1: As Figure 1 shown, close the solenoid valve 6 of the air compressor 2, connect the intake end of the air supply pipe 7 to be tested to the solenoid valve 6, connect the outlet end of the air supply pipe 7 to the intake end of the ventilator 17, and the support rod 22 supports the middle position of the air supply pipe 7. The PLC controller 20 controls the first electric lifting rod 10 to work, lift the air supply pipe, so that the air supply pipe is separated from the heating plate and the water bath in the initial state.

[0059] The control system controls the heating plate 8 and the water bath 16 to work, so that the temperature of the heating plate 8 is heated to (130 ± 15) °C, and the water in the water bath 16 is heated to the boiling state.

[0060] Step 2: Observe the value of the pressure sensor 5 of the air compressor 2 in real time. When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 5 reaches the set value, the PLC controller controls the solenoid valve 6 to open, and the air compressor 2 injects air with the set pressure value into the air supply pipe 7, where the set value is the maximum design pressure provided by the air supply pipe manufacturer. Start the ventilator 17, and the ventilator 17 works at a breathing frequency of 25 times / min and a breathing flow rate of 2.0 L / time. Turn on the gas quality detector 19, and use the gas quality detector 19 to detect the gas quality discharged by the ventilator 17 in real time.

[0061] Step 3: As Figure 2 shown, the PLC controller 20 controls the telescopic part 28 of the first electric lifting rod 10 to contract, and at the same time controls the telescopic part 27 of the second electric lifting rod 23 to contract. The support rod 22 drops, so that 100 mm of the pipe section in the air supply pipe 7 on the front side of the air supply pipe support mechanism falls on the heating part of the heating plate 8, and the part of the air supply pipe 7 on the rear side of the air supply pipe support mechanism falls into the boiling water in the water bath 16, and this part of the pipe section is immersed in the boiling water.

[0062] There is a timing module in the PLC controller 20. At this time, the timing module in the PLC controller 20 starts timing. After reaching the set time, the telescopic parts of the first electric lifting rod 10 and the second electric lifting rod 23 extend, and the support rod rises, driving the air supply pipe 7 away from the heating plate 8 and the water bath 16.

[0063] The first electronically controlled pan-tilt camera 15 and the second electronically controlled pan-tilt camera 25 respectively collect images of the upper and lower parts of the air supply pipe 7 and transmit them to the control system. The experimenter can observe whether there are any signs of damage to the pipe section of the air supply pipe 7 that has just left the contact heating plate 8 and the water bath 16 through the display screen of the monitoring platform.

[0064] The gas quality detector 19 performs real-time detection on the air quality sent into the air supply pipe through the ventilator 17 during the process of the air supply pipe contacting the heating plate and being immersed in the water bath and 15 minutes after leaving, and observes whether the air quality is significantly affected.

[0065] The experimenter judges whether the air supply pipe 7 meets the acoustic symmetry performance, whether there is any damage, and whether the air quality is affected during the heat resistance test based on the observed images and the data detected by the gas quality detector 19.

[0066] With the test device of this embodiment, the whole process is automated without manual operation, which improves work efficiency, reduces labor intensity, and improves test quality.

[0067] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
