[0052] The fourth agent branch pipe is equipped with a ninth ball valve 37, a second pneumatic valve 38, and a tenth ball valve 39 in sequence.

[0053] The main outlet pipe for the medicine is equipped with a first flow meter 40 and a third pressure reducing valve 41.

[0054] After being pressurized, the liquid medicine is stabilized by the third pressure reducing valve 41, then flows through the first flow meter 40 and the second three-way valve 28, and finally mixes with the compressed air at the atomizing nozzle 23 of the chemical rinsing chamber to disinfect the chemical rinsing space and surfaces.

[0055] One end of the compressed air main pipe is connected to the compressed air delivery pipe of the chemical shower chamber, and the other end of the compressed air delivery pipe of the chemical shower chamber is connected to the air input interface of the atomizing nozzle 23 of the chemical shower chamber through the third three-way valve 29.

The first ball valve 9 is the main valve of the compressed air main pipe, and the first pressure gauge 8 and the second pressure switch 7 are connected to it to display the air supply pressure and monitor the pressure alarm.

[0057] The compressed air delivery pipe of the chemical shower chamber is sequentially equipped with a third ball valve 13, a second pressure reducing valve 16, a first regulating valve 18, a fifth pressure switch 19, and a fifth ball valve 21. Compressed air passes through the third ball valve 13, connects to the second pressure reducing valve 16, is controlled by the first regulating valve 18, and then passes through the fifth ball valve 21 and the third three-way valve 29 to the atomizing nozzle 23 of the chemical shower chamber for liquid atomization and spraying.

[0058] The second pneumatic diaphragm pump 59 and the first pneumatic diaphragm pump 55 serve as pressurized liquid extraction devices, with one in operation and the other on standby. The seventh pressure switch 53 and the fourth pressure switch 17 monitor the output pressure of the two pneumatic diaphragm pumps, effectively indicating equipment problems caused by pump malfunctions, pipeline blockages, valve malfunctions, etc., thus improving equipment safety. The first, second, third, and fourth chemical branch pipes form an "H" bridge, which facilitates the selection of spray paths, enables multi-path backup, and significantly improves equipment reliability.

[0059] When an abnormal pressure is detected in the fourth pressure switch 17, the first pneumatic diaphragm pump 55 operates, the second pneumatic diaphragm pump 59 stops operating, the first drug branch is opened, the second drug branch is closed, and the opening status of the third and fourth drug branches is switched. If the pressure in the fourth pressure switch 17 is still abnormal, the first pneumatic diaphragm pump 55 stops operating, the second pneumatic diaphragm pump 59 operates, the first drug branch is closed, the second drug branch is opened, and the seventh pressure switch 53 operates.

[0060] When an abnormal pressure is detected in the seventh pressure switch 53, the first pneumatic diaphragm pump 55 stops working, the second pneumatic diaphragm pump 59 starts working, the second agent branch is opened, the first agent branch is closed, and the opening status of the third and fourth agent branches is switched. If the pressure in the seventh pressure switch 53 is still abnormal, the first pneumatic diaphragm pump 55 starts working, the second pneumatic diaphragm pump 59 stops working, the second agent branch is closed, the first agent branch is opened, and the fourth pressure switch 17 starts working.

[0061] The water softening system includes a main water inlet pipe, a first soft water branch pipe, a second soft water branch pipe, a third soft water branch pipe, a fourth soft water branch pipe, a first soft water outlet pipe, and a second soft water outlet pipe.

The fourth soft water branch pipe is equipped with a third pneumatic valve 43. The first soft water output pipe is equipped with a second flow meter 56 and a third flow meter 58.

[0064] The twelfth ball valve 46 serves as the main valve for soft water supply, connected to the second pressure gauge 45 and the sixth pressure switch 44 for soft water supply display and alarm monitoring. The fourteenth ball valve 50 is a manual water injection valve, installed on the manual water injection branch (third soft water branch pipe). The thirteenth ball valve 48 is followed by the second regulating valve 52 and the sixth solenoid valve 54 in series to form the automatic water injection control branch (first soft water branch pipe). The manual and automatic water injection branches converge and flow into the chemical storage tank 1 via the second flow meter 56 and the third flow meter 58. The second flow meter 56 and the third flow meter 58 cross-reference and monitor in real time to improve the accuracy, precision, and safety of water injection control. The eleventh ball valve 42 is the manual control valve for emergency shower water spray, and the third pneumatic valve 43 is the automatic water spray control valve.

[0065] When the difference between the values ​​measured by the second flow meter 56 and the third flow meter 58 in a single water injection exceeds 0.5L, an abnormal water injection flow alarm is triggered.

[0066] The main chemical inlet pipe is also connected to one end of an emergency chemical pipe, and the other end of the emergency chemical pipe is connected to one end of a handle-operated shut-off valve 22 in the chemical spraying chamber via a first three-way valve 20.

Compressed air passes through the second ball valve 10 and then the first pressure-reducing valve 11 to drive the first pneumatic diaphragm pump 55 and the second pneumatic diaphragm pump 59. The first solenoid valve 6 and the second solenoid valve 14 are the pre-screw solenoid valves for the corresponding pneumatic diaphragm pumps. The first pressure switch 5 and the third pressure switch 12 are used to monitor the input pressure of the corresponding pneumatic diaphragm pump.

[0069] The compressed air main pipe is also connected to one end of a valve drive pipe.

A stirrer is installed inside the tank, and a drain outlet is located at the bottom. The first level sensor 2 monitors the high liquid level; when the liquid level is above its installation position, a high-level alarm is triggered. The second level sensor 3 monitors the medium liquid level; when the liquid level is below its installation position, a medium-level alarm is triggered, indicating insufficient chemical solution, and the contaminated side sealing door 25 of the chemical rinsing chamber is locked, preventing personnel from re-entering the chamber for chemical rinsing. The third level sensor 4 monitors the low liquid level; when the liquid level is below its installation position, a low-level alarm is triggered, indicating severe chemical solution shortage, and all sealing doors of the chemical rinsing chamber (including the sealing doors 25 on both the contaminated and clean sides) are locked, preventing personnel from re-entering the chamber.

[0072] The input end of the first three-way valve 20 is connected to the emergency medicine tube, and the two switching output ends of the first three-way valve 20 are respectively connected to the handle-equipped shut-off valves 22 of the two chemical rinsing chambers.

When the switching directions of the first three-way valve 20, the second three-way valve 28, and the third three-way valve 29 monitored by the first position sensor 27, the second position sensor 30, and the third position sensor 35 are consistent, the emergency agent pipe, the agent output main pipe, and the compressed air delivery pipe of the chemical shower chamber are simultaneously connected to either Chemical Shower One or Chemical Shower Two. The system considers the system reuse selection to be correct, and the currently used chemical shower chamber is Chemical Shower One (or Chemical Shower Two). This achieves time-sharing reuse of the chemical shower system, effectively improving the efficiency of chemical shower use and reducing equipment investment and operating costs.
