Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of risk simulation for confined space operations, and particularly to a risk simulation experiment system for confined space operations that can isolate gases. Background Art

[0002] Confined spaces generally refer to those enclosed or semi-enclosed areas with restricted access, poor ventilation, complex environments, and internal conditions that are difficult to monitor in real time, such as sewers, storage tanks, pipelines, underground wells, etc. Due to the limited physical structure of these spaces, potential risks such as the accumulation of harmful gases, insufficient oxygen content, and the accumulation of flammable and explosive substances often occur in the internal environment. At the same time, the activities of operators are restricted. Therefore, once an accident occurs, the rescue difficulty is extremely high. Therefore, the safety of confined space operations faces multiple risks such as poisoning, asphyxiation, explosion, drowning, and falling, and these risks often interact with each other, easily triggering a chain reaction and further increasing the severity of the accident.

[0003] To improve the safety of confined space operations, risk monitoring and early warning are very crucial and necessary. Currently, various types of sensors are commonly used in the industry, such as sensors for detecting harmful gases, monitoring oxygen concentration, sensing temperature and humidity, and monitoring dust concentration, to monitor the risk factors in confined spaces in real time. To improve the versatility of the monitoring equipment, these sensors are often integrated together to form an "integrated monitor" to achieve the joint monitoring of multiple risk factors.

[0004] The design and research and development of sensor functions and the calibration of performance indicators need to be carried out in a closed space that can simulate the risk environment of confined spaces, such as an experimental chamber. However, in the existing risk simulation experimental chambers for confined spaces, during the process of taking out and replacing the monitor, problems such as the leakage of internal flammable and explosive gases and toxic and harmful substances, as well as the mixing of external air and dust, are likely to occur, leading to safety accidents and environmental pollution, endangering the lives and property safety of operators.

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Example:

[0038] See also Figures 1 - 7 A gas-isolated confined space operation risk simulation experimental system includes a cabinet 1, in which risks such as poisoning, explosion, and suffocation can be simulated. Figure 1 As shown, air inlet pipes, exhaust pipes, drainage pipes, heating pipes, grain piles and other facilities can be installed in the cabinet 1 as needed.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, an outer tube 2 is fixedly mounted on the inner top wall of the cabinet body 1, ventilation grooves 3 are evenly provided on the outer wall at the bottom end of the outer tube 2, a pull-out tube 4 is movably inserted in the outer tube 2, and connecting grooves 5 matching with the ventilation grooves 3 are evenly provided on the outer wall at the bottom end. In the present embodiment, four ventilation grooves 3 and four connecting grooves 5 are provided, which can overlap or stagger.

[0040] In the present invention, the bottom end of the pull-out tube 4 is closed by a bottom plate 8, and the top end is closed by a cover 6. Furthermore, the cover 6 is threadedly mounted on the top end of the pull-out tube 4, and the monitoring mechanism 7 is detachably mounted on the inner wall of the cover 6 by a clamp. The detachable design of the cover 6 and the monitoring mechanism 7 makes it very convenient to replace the monitoring mechanism 7 without interfering with the stability of the simulated environment, which helps to improve the experimental efficiency and is also convenient for testing different monitoring mechanisms 7.

[0041] A monitoring cavity is formed between the drawer tube 4 and the bottom plate 8. When the air permeable groove 3 and the connecting groove 5 overlap, the monitoring cavity is connected to the space inside the cabinet 1, so as to facilitate gas monitoring.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, a bottom cylinder 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bottom plate 8, and a fixing plate 10 is movably arranged in the bottom cylinder 9, and the fixing plate 10 is supported by a support 11 on the bottom wall of the cabinet 1, so that the position of the fixing plate 10 remains unchanged, and an air storage cavity is formed between the bottom cylinder 9 and the fixing plate 10;

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, a one-way air intake valve 13 and a one-way air exhaust valve 14 are respectively installed on the bottom plate 8, and a one-way air intake valve 15 and a one-way air exhaust valve 16 are respectively installed on the outer wall of the top end of the drawing tube 4;

[0044] When the draw tube 4 moves upward, the ventilation slots 3 are staggered from the communication slots 5. At the same time, the volume of the gas storage cavity expands. When the volume of the gas storage cavity expands, harmful gases in the draw tube 4 can enter the gas storage cavity temporarily through the one-way intake valve I 13 (the draw tube 4 replenishes external clean air through the one-way intake valve II 15);

[0045] Thus, after the draw tube 4 moves completely upward, the harmful gases in the monitoring cavity have been completely transferred, realizing gas isolation, effectively avoiding the problem of harmful gas leakage during the removal or replacement of the monitoring mechanism 7, and ensuring the safety of the operators.

[0046] On the contrary, when the monitoring mechanism 7 is replaced and the draw tube 4 moves downward, the volume of the gas storage cavity will decrease. When the volume of the gas storage cavity decreases, the harmful gases temporarily stored in the gas storage cavity will return to the monitoring cavity through the one-way exhaust valve I 14, while the original gas in the monitoring cavity will be discharged through the one-way exhaust valve II 16; until the ventilation slots 3 coincide with the communication slots 5, just when the gas in the gas storage cavity is also discharged completely;

[0047] Thus, when the draw tube 4 moves downward again, the gas in the gas storage cavity will return to the monitoring cavity, thereby avoiding the problem of external oxygen entering.

[0048] In the present invention, through the temporary storage and return of the gas in the monitoring cavity by the gas storage cavity, gas isolation can be realized, thereby effectively avoiding the problems of harmful gas leakage or external oxygen entering during the removal or replacement of the monitoring mechanism 7, and ensuring the safety of the operators; when simulating high-risk environments such as poisoning and combustion explosion, the present invention can accurately control the inflow and discharge of the gas in the cabinet, avoid unnecessary gas leakage or external gas entering, and improve the safety and accuracy of the experiment.

[0049] As Figure 2 shown, a cylinder 12 is pre-installed in the support column 11, and the output end of the cylinder 12 passes through the fixed plate 10 and is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 8. Thus, the up and down movement of the entire draw tube 4 can be realized by the cylinder 12, which is fully electric; of course, a manual drawing method can also be adopted.

[0050] In this embodiment, a tube slot for the draw tube 4 to pass through is opened on the cabinet body 1. As Figure 6 shown, a spiral guiding groove 17 is opened on the outer wall of the upper part of the draw tube 4, and a vertical guiding groove 18 is opened on the outer wall of the lower part. The bottom end of the spiral guiding groove 17 is communicated with the top end of the vertical guiding groove 18. A sliding column 19 is slidably arranged in the spiral guiding groove 17 and the vertical guiding groove 18, and the sliding column 19 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tube slot;

[0051] When the drawing cylinder 4 starts to move upward, under the action of the spiral guiding groove 17, the drawing cylinder 4 will rotate simultaneously. Furthermore, the ventilation groove 3 and the communication groove 5 can be staggered more quickly. After they are staggered, the gas storage cavity can absorb the harmful gas in the monitoring cavity earlier.

[0052] An exemplary check valve structure is also provided in the present invention. Specifically, it includes a valve tube 20. A conical surface 22 is formed in the lumen 21 of the valve tube 20. A valve ball 23 is movably plugged on the conical surface 22. The valve ball 23 is supported by a support spring 24. The support spring 24 is installed on a support plate 25. The support plate 25 is fixedly installed in the lumen 21 through a fixing rod 26.

[0053] For those skilled in the art, the check valve can also be replaced with a solenoid valve.

[0054] Thus, in the present invention, the parameters and accuracy of the sensors of the monitoring mechanism 7 (such as sensors for detecting harmful gases, monitoring oxygen concentration, temperature and humidity sensing, dust concentration monitoring, etc.) can be effectively verified, achieving the purpose of correcting the parameters.

[0055] The following takes three typical application scenarios to specifically illustrate the application effect of the present invention in the risk simulation of confined space operations and the verification of sensors:

[0056] 1. Inject harmful gases (such as CO, H2S, methane, etc.) with a set concentration into the cabinet 1, and then verify the response speed, false alarm rate and sensitivity of the harmful gas detection sensor;

[0057] 2. Inject combustible gases (such as natural gas, hydrogen) into the cabinet 1, and then verify the recognition accuracy of the gas concentration monitoring sensor for the critical concentration value;

[0058] 3. Slowly inject nitrogen or carbon dioxide into the cabinet 1 to gradually dilute the oxygen concentration in the cabinet 1, and then verify the alarm accuracy of the oxygen sensor in a low-oxygen environment.

[0059] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
