[0030] Combine Figures 1 to 7 The hyperbaric oxygen chamber delivery tube of the present invention is further described.
[0031] A hyperbaric oxygen chamber delivery cylinder is characterized by comprising a cylinder body 1 and an air pressure regulating valve 3.
[0032] The cylinder 1 has a delivery chamber 12 and an air pressure regulating chamber 13 located on the left or right side of the delivery chamber 12 and connected to the delivery chamber 12. The cylinder 1 is provided with an outer door cover 4 and an inner door cover 5 at positions corresponding to the inner and outer sides of the delivery chamber through hinges. The outer door cover 4 and the inner door cover 5 are respectively provided with an outer door handle lock 2 and an inner door handle lock 6.
[0033] The air pressure regulating valve 3 includes a valve body 32 and a valve core 31 .
[0034] The valve body 32 is arranged on the portion of the cylinder 1 corresponding to the air pressure regulating chamber 13. The specific structure is as follows: there are assembly holes on both the inner and outer walls of the cylinder 1 forming the air pressure regulating chamber 13, and the two ends of the valve body 32 are fixed in the assembly holes of the inner and outer walls, so that the middle portion of the valve body 32 corresponds to the air pressure regulating chamber 13, the inner end of the valve body 32 corresponds to the inside of the oxygen chamber, and the outer end of the valve body 32 corresponds to the outside of the oxygen chamber. The valve body 32 has an internal air pressure channel 33 that connects the air pressure regulating chamber 13 with the internal space of the oxygen chamber, and an external air pressure channel 34 that connects the air pressure regulating chamber 13 with the external space of the oxygen chamber. The valve core 31 is movably arranged in the valve body 32, and has an inner adjustment position and an outer adjustment position relative to the valve body 32.
[0035] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the valve core 31 is in the inner adjustment position, the inner air pressure channel 33 is cut off and the outer air pressure channel 34 is connected; when the valve core 31 is in the outer adjustment position, the inner air pressure channel 33 is connected and the outer air pressure channel 34 is cut off.
[0036] To enhance installation stability and sealing when the valve body 32 is installed in the assembly hole, a stopper 16 is formed at the opening of the assembly hole for the end of the valve body 32 to abut against. This stopper only leaves a through hole for the end of the valve core 31 to pass through. A sealing ring is also provided between the outer wall of the valve body 32 and the inner wall of the assembly hole. Channels 15 are provided on both the inner and outer walls of the cylinder 1 corresponding to the air pressure regulating chamber 13, connecting the internal air pressure channel 33 or the external air pressure channel 34 to the interior and exterior of the oxygen chamber.
[0037] The specific structure of the valve body is that the valve body 32 has a valve hole 324, that is, a central hole extending axially along the valve body 32, and the side wall of the valve body 32 is axially distributed with an inner air hole 323 connecting the interior of the oxygen chamber with the valve hole 324, an intermediate air hole 322 connecting the air pressure regulating chamber 13 with the valve hole 324, and an outer air hole 321 connecting the outside of the oxygen chamber with the valve hole 324; wherein, the inner air pressure channel 33 is formed by the inner air hole 323, the valve hole 324 and the intermediate air hole 322, and the outer air pressure channel 34 is formed by the intermediate air hole 322, the valve hole 324 and the outer air hole 321.
[0038] The valve core 31 is fitted into the valve hole 324 and has an inner sealing ring 313 located on the inner side of the inner air hole 323, an outer sealing ring 311 located on the outer side of the outer air hole 321, and an intermediate sealing ring 312 that switches between the inner and outer sides of the intermediate air hole; a sealing ring is provided between each sealing ring and the inner wall of the valve body 32.
[0039] When the valve core 31 is in the external adjustment position, the outer end face of the outer sealing ring 311 abuts against the limit baffle, the middle sealing ring 312 is located between the middle air hole 322 and the outer air hole 321, and the inner sealing ring 313 is located inside the inner air hole 323. In this state, the inner air pressure channel 33 is opened and the outer air pressure channel 34 is cut off, so that the air pressure in the oxygen cabin is connected and balanced with the air pressure in the delivery chamber 12; conversely, the valve core 31 is pushed inward, the end face of the inner sealing ring 313 abuts against the limit baffle, the middle sealing ring 312 is located between the inner air hole 323 and the middle air hole 322, and the outer sealing ring 311 is located outside the outer air hole 321. In this state, the outer air pressure channel 34 is opened and the inner air pressure channel 33 is cut off, so that the air pressure in the delivery chamber 12 is connected and balanced with the air pressure outside the oxygen cabin.
[0040] An inner handle 35 and an outer handle 36 are respectively provided at both ends of the valve core 31 . The inner handle 35 is located inside the oxygen chamber, and the outer handle 36 is located outside the oxygen chamber, so that the staff can push the valve core 31 to switch its position.
[0041] The depth of the air pressure regulating chamber 13 is significantly less than that of the delivery chamber 12, so that the distance between the inner and outer walls of the cylinder body 1 corresponding to the delivery chamber 12 is significantly greater than the distance between the inner and outer walls of the cylinder body 1 corresponding to the air pressure regulating chamber 13. This reduces the axial distance of the air pressure regulating valve 3, facilitating installation and air pressure adjustment. Furthermore, the cylinder body 1 has a recessed portion 11 formed on the inner and outer walls corresponding to the air pressure regulating chamber 13, which is capable of accommodating a handle.
[0042] The outer door handle lock 2 includes a lock body and a self-locking structure 23 provided between the lock body and the outer door cover 4 .
[0043] Among them, when the internal air pressure channel 33 is connected, the self-locking structure 23 is closed, restricting the lock body from opening. When the external air pressure channel 34 is connected, the self-locking structure 23 is opened, and the lock body can be opened at the same time.
[0044] Specifically, the lock body includes a lock frame 25 fixed to the inner and outer sides of the outer door cover 4 by bolts, a lock shaft 21 arranged on the lock frame 25 and passing through the outer door cover 4, a handle 22 arranged at the outer end of the lock shaft 21, and a lock tongue assembly 22 arranged at the inner end of the lock shaft 21 and capable of cooperating with the lock groove 17 on the inner wall of the delivery chamber 12.
[0045] like Figure 4-7 As shown, the self-locking structure 23 includes a positioning groove 2511 provided on the lock frame 25, a positioning sleeve 231 slidingly engaged with the lock tongue assembly 22, and a spring 232 pushing the positioning sleeve 231 back toward the positioning groove 2511. When the internal air pressure channel 33 is connected, the internal air pressure pushes the positioning sleeve 231 to overcome the force of the spring 232 and enter the positioning groove 2511 to limit the rotation of the lock tongue assembly 22 relative to the lock frame 25.
[0046] Specifically, the lock frame 25 includes an inner frame 251 located on the inner side of the outer door cover 4 and an outer frame 252 located on the outer side of the outer door cover 4 . The positioning groove 2511 is formed on the side wall of the inner frame 251 . The lock tongue assembly 22 is provided with a mounting groove 221 extending in the same direction as the lock shaft 21 and for sliding cooperation of the positioning sleeve 231. The bottom of the mounting groove 221 is provided with a positioning column 2211 for the inner end of the spring 232 to be inserted. The outer end of the spring 232 enters the positioning sleeve 231 to push the positioning sleeve 231 outward; an outer limiting step 2311 is provided on the inner end of the positioning sleeve 231, and an inner limiting step for the outer limiting step 2311 to abut on the inner groove wall of the mounting groove 221 to limit the positioning sleeve 231 from separating from the mounting groove 221; a vent hole 24 connected to the outside of the oxygen cabin is provided on the bottom of the mounting groove 221, so that the inner end of the positioning sleeve 231 corresponds to the external air pressure of the oxygen cabin, and the outer end corresponds to the internal air pressure of the delivery chamber 12. An opening 2212 is set on the inner wall of the mounting groove 221 near the bottom of the groove. The mounting groove 221 corresponds to the positioning groove 2511 on the inner frame 251 through the opening 2212. When the positioning sleeve 231 compresses the spring 232 and moves to the bottom of the mounting groove 221, the local position of the outer limit step of the positioning sleeve 231 is located in the positioning groove 2511, limiting the rotation of the lock tongue 22 assembly relative to the inner frame 251.
[0047] In this embodiment, the inner door handle lock is a conventional door lock, and therefore will not be described in detail.
[0048] When it is necessary to pass an object from inside the cabin to outside the cabin, the staff pushes the valve core 31 to the external adjustment position, so that the internal air pressure channel 33 is connected and the external air pressure channel 34 is cut off. The air pressure in the oxygen cabin enters the object delivery chamber 12, so that the air pressure in the oxygen cabin and the air pressure in the object delivery chamber 12 reach equilibrium. The staff in the cabin opens the inner door lock 6, opens the inner door cover 5, and puts the object into the object delivery chamber 12; at the same time, the positioning sleeve 231 overcomes the force of the spring 232 under the action of the air pressure in the cabin and moves to the installation groove 2 The bottom of the groove 21 has a self-locking function for the outer door handle lock 2, and the outer door handle lock 2 cannot be opened; the valve core 31 is pushed to the inner adjustment position, so that the inner air pressure channel 33 is cut off, and the outer air pressure channel 34 is connected. The air pressure in the delivery chamber 12 is connected with the air pressure outside the cabin, so that the air pressures of the two are balanced, and the spring 232 pushes the positioning sleeve 231 outward, so that the outer end of the positioning sleeve 231 is separated from the positioning groove 2511, the self-locking is released, the outer door cover 4 is opened, and the items in the delivery chamber 12 can be taken out.
[0049] When it is necessary to pass items from outside the cabin to inside the cabin, first open the external air pressure channel 34 to balance the air pressure in the delivery chamber 12 and the outside cabin, open the external door cover 4, and place the items outside the cabin in the delivery chamber 12. Then, open the internal air pressure channel 33 to balance the air pressure in the delivery chamber 12 and the inside cabin, open the internal door cover 5, and the personnel inside the cabin take out the items from the delivery chamber 12.
[0050] During this process, the pressure regulating valve 3 can achieve a one-way connection between the external pressure channel 34 and the internal pressure channel 33, preventing the simultaneous opening of both channels. Furthermore, it offers the advantage of convenient operation: when one pressure channel is opened or closed, the other is simultaneously opened or closed, eliminating the need for an operator to operate two air release valves. The external door handle 2 self-locks in the event of a pressure differential between the inside and outside of the oxygen chamber, preventing the external door handle 2 from being opened while the internal pressure channel 33 is open, thus preventing a significant leakage of air pressure from the chamber.
