Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of respiratory equipment for emergency rescue and disaster relief, in particular to a positive pressure breathing full face mask and a positive pressure respirator. Background Art

[0002] A positive pressure respirator is a self-contained open air respirator, also known as a positive pressure respirator. It is an important personal protective equipment that can prevent firefighters and emergency rescue personnel from inhaling toxic and harmful gases, smoke, and harmful pollutants suspended in the air when fighting fires or performing emergency rescue operations.

[0003] In addition, positive pressure respirators can also be used in oxygen-deficient environments to prevent the inhalation of toxic gases, thereby effectively carrying out fire fighting, emergency rescue and labor operations.

[0004] The sealing method of the full-face mask of the positive pressure respirator currently sold on the market mainly relies on silicone or rubber to fit the face to form a sealing surface. Due to the elasticity limitation of the material, it cannot be adapted to people who wear glasses. When myopic people or other people with visual impairments wear full-face masks, the legs of the glasses easily form a gap between the sealing surface of the full-face mask and the face of the wearer, resulting in poor sealing effect. Therefore, when encountering a person wearing glasses using a full-face mask, the person wearing glasses needs to take off the glasses so that the full-face mask and the face can fit together to form a good seal. However, when the person wearing glasses takes off the glasses, due to their own vision problems, they will not be able to see clearly, which makes it easy for the person wearing glasses to make misjudgments during the rescue process, or the unclear vision brings great safety risks to the safe transfer of the person wearing glasses. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to make the full-face breathing mask suitable for people wearing glasses and to achieve good sealing to avoid the infiltration of toxic gases, the present invention provides a positive-pressure full-face breathing mask and a positive-pressure respirator, which utilize an inflated sealing airbag to squeeze the temples of the glasses onto the face and fill the gap between the temples of the glasses and the face, so that the full-face mask and the face are completely sealed, and at the same time, the pressure relief hole releases gas to the facial area covered by the face window, so that the facial area covered by the face window forms a positive-pressure environment relative to the external area, thereby greatly reducing the risk of toxic gases infiltrating into the facial area covered by the face window.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The embodiment of the invention discloses a positive pressure breathing full face mask.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 The positive pressure breathing full face mask comprises a face window 11, a mouth and nose mask 12, an air supply valve 13, an exhalation valve 14, an annular sealing ring 15 and a sealing air bag 16.

[0036] The face window 11 is provided to cover the face of the user, and is made of a transparent material, such as polycarbonate, plastic, or glass. In the present embodiment, the face window 11 is made of polycarbonate. Polycarbonate has the functions of high transparency and strong wear resistance, and also has an anti-fog function, so that during the use of the face window 11, water mist is not easy to be generated on the inner wall thereof, and the sight of the user is not affected.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The oronasal mask 12 is formed on the inner side of the face window 11. The oronasal mask 12 is used to cover the mouth and nose of the user. When in use, the oronasal mask 12 covers the mouth and nose of the user, and at the same time, the face window 11 covers the face of the user. The oronasal mask 12 can be made of medical rubber material to reduce the impact of the oronasal mask 12 on the breathing of the user.

[0038] The air supply valve 13 is connected to the oronasal mask 12 , wherein the air supply valve 13 can be installed on the face window 11 or the oronasal mask 12 , and the air supply valve 13 is used to provide oxygen to the mouth and nose of the user covered by the oronasal mask 12 .

[0039] The exhalation valve 14 is connected to the oronasal mask 12, wherein the exhalation valve 14 can be installed on the face window 11 or the oronasal mask 12. The exhalation valve 14 is used to discharge the gas exhaled by the user. When in use, the user exhales the gas into the mouth and nose covered by the oronasal mask 12, and then the exhaled gas is discharged through the exhalation valve 14.

[0040] Both the exhalation valve 14 and the air supply valve 13 are one-way air valves. The air supply valve 13 can only provide oxygen to the mouth and nose, and the exhalation valve 14 can only discharge the gas exhaled by the user.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The annular sealing ring 15 is arranged at the edge of the face window 11, wherein the annular sealing ring 15 is made of a deformable material, such as rubber, polymer material or silicone. In this embodiment, the annular sealing ring 15 is made of rubber. In addition, a slot 151 is provided at the side end of the annular sealing ring 15 away from the face window 11, and the slot 151 is provided at the inner side end of the annular sealing ring 15, and the slot 151 is distributed in an annular shape.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sealing airbag 16 is clamped in the clamping slot 151, and the sealing airbag 16 includes a clamping portion 161 and an airbag portion 162, wherein the clamping slot 151 and the clamping portion 161 can be a T-shaped structure that can be used in conjunction with each other, the clamping portion 161 is clamped in the clamping slot 151 and extends along the clamping slot 151, the airbag portion 162 is located outside the annular sealing ring 15, a part of the clamping portion 161 extends out of the clamping slot 151, and the part of the clamping portion 161 extending out of the clamping slot 151 is connected to the airbag portion 162, the airbag portion 162 and the clamping portion 161 are integrally formed, and a closed area is formed between the airbag portion 162 and the clamping portion 161, and the airbag portion 162 can expand and become larger after inflation, and squeeze the temples of the glasses onto the face of the person, thereby forming a seal between the sealing airbag 16 and the face of the person.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 The airbag inflation port 17 is formed on the sealing airbag 16 , and the airbag inflation port 17 is used to inflate the sealing airbag 16 .

[0044] The pressure relief hole is opened on the inner side of the sealing airbag 16, and the pressure relief hole is a micro hole. When the sealing airbag 16 is filled with gas, the gas in the sealing airbag 16 can release gas to the facial area covered by the face window 11 through the pressure relief hole, so that the facial area covered by the face window 11 always forms a positive pressure environment relative to the external area. Therefore, during the use of the full-face mask, the air pressure in the facial area covered by the face window 11 is greater than the external air pressure, and the gas in the facial area covered by the face window 11 can be discharged to the external environment through the gap between the sealing airbag 16 and the person's face, which also makes it difficult for external toxic gases to enter the facial area covered by the face window 11 through the gap between the sealing airbag 16 and the person's face. The full-face mask greatly improves safety.

[0045] When the sealing airbag 16 is filled with gas, the airbag portion 162 of the sealing airbag 16 will expand and squeeze the temples of the glasses onto the face of the user. At the same time, the pressure relief hole releases gas to the facial area covered by the face window 11, so that the facial area covered by the face window 11 presents a positive pressure environment, reducing the risk of toxic gases entering the facial area covered by the face window 11 and improving the safety of the full-face mask.

[0046] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In another embodiment, the number of the card slots 151 is two, and the two card slots 151 are distributed inside and outside on the annular sealing ring 15. At the same time, the number of the sealing airbags 16 is also two, and the two sealing airbags 16 are respectively installed in the two card slots 151, and the two sealing airbags 16 are connected, and the two sealing airbags 16 are also distributed inside and outside.

[0047] In addition, the airbag inflation port 17 can be formed on any one of the sealed airbags 16 or at the connecting point between two sealed airbags 16 .

[0048] In addition, pressure relief holes are provided on the inner sides of the two sealed airbags 16. After the two sealed airbags 16 are filled with gas, a positive pressure area is formed between the two sealed airbags 16, and the gas discharged from the pressure relief hole on the inner sealed airbag 16 enters the facial area covered by the face window 11, so that the facial area covered by the face window 11 always maintains a positive pressure environment; the gas discharged from the pressure relief hole on the outer sealed airbag 16 enters the positive pressure area between the two sealed airbags 16, and the positive pressure environment is also always maintained in the positive pressure area. By setting up two positive pressure environments, it is more difficult for external toxic gases to enter the facial area covered by the face window 11 through the gap between the sealed airbag 16 and the face of the person, further improving safety.

[0049] Further, refer to Figure 1 The full-face mask further includes an elastic band and a buckle 152, wherein the buckle 152 is formed on the annular sealing ring 15, and the buckle 152 and the annular sealing ring 15 are integrally formed, and the number of the buckles 152 is at least two. Both ends of the elastic band can be wound and fixed on the buckle 152. When in use, when a person presses the face window 11 onto the face, the elastic band can be tied to the head, thereby ensuring the stability of the full-face mask on the face of the person.

[0050] Further, refer to Figure 1 The full-face mask also includes a regulating valve 18, which is installed on the oronasal mask 12. The two ends of the regulating valve 18 are respectively connected to the mouth and nose area covered by the oronasal mask 12 and the facial area covered by the face window 11. The regulating valve 18 can adjust the air pressure between the mouth and nose area covered by the oronasal mask 12 and the facial area covered by the face window 11.

[0051] In addition, when the air supply valve 13 or the air supply pipeline or one of the breathing valves is blocked, the person can discharge the exhaled gas from the mouth and nose area covered by the oronasal mask 12 through the regulating valve 18, or supply oxygen in the facial area covered by the face window 11 to the mouth and nose covered by the oronasal mask 12 through the regulating valve 18, so that the person can breathe normally, and at the same time, the gas released from the pressure relief hole is continuously replenished to the facial area covered by the face window 11.

[0052] The embodiment of the present invention further discloses a positive pressure respirator, which includes a positive pressure breathing full face mask disclosed in the above embodiment, and in addition, Figure 1 and Figure 5 The positive pressure breathing apparatus also includes a gas cylinder 100, an air outlet pipe 200, a pressure reducing valve 300, a medium pressure air guide tube 400 and an air bag air guide tube 500.

[0053] The gas cylinder 100 is filled with compressed air or compressed oxygen. The two ends of the gas outlet pipe 200 are respectively connected to the gas outlet end of the gas cylinder 100 and the gas inlet end of the pressure reducing valve 300. The pressure reducing valve 300 is used to reduce the pressure of the gas discharged from the gas cylinder 100 through the gas pipe and reduce the pressure to medium pressure, wherein the pressure range of the medium pressure is 0.6MPa-0.9Mpa.

[0054] The two ends of the medium-pressure air guide tube 400 are respectively connected to the air outlet end of the pressure reducing valve 300 and the air supply valve 13 , and the two ends of the airbag air guide tube 500 are respectively connected to the air outlet end of the pressure reducing valve 300 and the airbag inflation port 17 .

[0055] Among them, a one-way valve can be installed on the air outlet pipe 200, the medium-pressure air guide pipe 400 and the air bag air guide pipe 500, and the one-way valve only allows the gas to flow out of the gas cylinder and flow towards the full-face mask.

[0056] In addition, the positive pressure breathing apparatus also includes other necessary parts, such as shoulder straps, north support, waist belt set, quick connectors, pressure gauge, etc., which are not shown in the figure.

[0057] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
