[0027] It is of great significance to ensure the physical health of underground coal mine workers and protect them from the impact of dust particles. This powered air-purifying respirator has been designed for intrinsic safety. The battery, fan, and main control board all meet the mining safety standards, and the materials exposed to the air are all flame-retardant and anti-static materials. The overall mask can pass the coal mine safety certification.

[0028] The overall structure of the mine-used powered air-purifying respirator is as Figure 1 shown, consisting of a powered air supply main unit 1, a silencing pipe 2, an air supply hose 3, and a protective helmet 4. The powered air supply main unit 1 has the functions of air supply and filtration. The main unit filtration system can filter dust particles in the air, and the fan sends the clean air through the silencing pipe 2 and the air supply hose 3 into the protective helmet 4. The protective helmet 4 integrates the functions of air supply and safety helmet, protects the head, and forms a local air supply cavity inside the mask, isolating it from the external dust environment. The silencing pipe 2 is an air supply pipeline with sound-absorbing cotton inside, and its two ends can be respectively connected to the powered air supply main unit 1 and the air supply hose 3. The air supply hose 3 is a telescopic hollow hose, and the material is flame-retardant and anti-static PC.

[0029] The protective helmet 4 is as Figure 2 and 3 shown, consisting of a helmet main structure 403, a safety helmet headband 406, a head air supply pipeline 402, a protective cape 401, a rotating shaft 405, a face sealing belt 407, a transparent face shield 408, and a single breathable cloth 409. The protective helmet 4 is designed according to the safety helmet design standard, and its material is selected as flame-retardant and anti-static ABS material, meeting the use requirements of underground protection equipment; its top is designed with reinforcing ribs to ensure the strength of the helmet. The wearing method of the protective headgear 4 is similar to that of general protective headgear and safety helmets. After the user wears it, the tightness can be adjusted by turning the knob at the back of the safety helmet headband 406.

[0030] After the filtered air is sent to the protective helmet through the air supply pipeline 3, it is then sent to the face cavity through the head air supply pipeline 402. The head air supply pipeline 402 closely follows the contour of the top of the helmet, and the end is in a horn shape, ensuring that the air passing through the air supply pipe can evenly cover the face and at the same time reducing the air supply resistance.

[0031] The transparent face shield 408 adopts a design that can be turned up, and is connected to the helmet main structure 403 through the rotating shaft 405. The face shield turns down to cover the user's eyes, mouth, nose, and lower jaw. The face seal 407, the transparent face shield 408, and the single breathable cloth 409 form a closed space in front of the human face. Under normal air supply conditions, the sealed cavity is in a positive pressure environment, preventing the inhalation of dust and ensuring the safety of workers working in extreme underground environments.

[0032] The protective cape 401 is made of flame-retardant and anti-static material, which can prevent coal dust from protecting the shoulders and necks and provide comprehensive protection for the lower part of the head.

[0033] On the basis of meeting the functional requirements, the design of the power supply air blower main unit 1 aims at miniaturization and light weight, taking into account safety, aesthetics and comfort. The structure of the power supply air blower main unit is made of flame-retardant and anti-static ABS material. The inner cavity of the main unit is fully enclosed by means of grooves, sealant, etc., with the functions of waterproof and dustproof, and the protection level is IP54.

[0034] As shown in Figure 4 the figure, the power supply air blower main unit 1 adopts a symmetric three-dimensional curved surface design. The overall shape combines large rounded corners with straight lines, being round and full. There is a display and control panel 109 on the upper part for easy operation and observation. The lower air inlet is simple and practical, which can effectively increase the service time of the built-in filter component. The back of the product adopts a curved design, fitting the human waist, and cooperating with the waist belt to use, increasing comfort.

[0035] The power supply air blower main unit 1 is composed of a battery compartment 101, an intrinsically safe battery 102, a main control circuit 103, a main body structure 104 of the main unit, a high-efficiency filter box 105, a primary filter cotton 106, a filter box cover 107, a metal filter screen 108, a display and control panel 109, an intrinsically safe fan 110, a fan housing 111, a rear cover 112 of the main unit, and a vibration motor 113.

[0036] The battery compartment 101 is used to fix and protect the intrinsically safe battery 102, and is fixedly connected to the main body structure 104 of the main unit by screws. There is a charging interface at its lower part.

[0037] The intrinsically safe battery 102 adopts a large-capacity lithium manganate battery, meeting the requirements of coal mine safety.

[0038] The main control circuit 103 can receive the control signals of the display and control panel 109, and feedback information such as battery power, blockage status, air volume, etc. It can drive the intrinsically safe fan 110, and at the same time can collect the fan current in real time, facilitating intelligent control.

[0039] The display and control panel 109 includes a switch button, a blockage degree indicator light, an air volume indicator light and a battery power indicator light. It can control the power on / off and air volume switching, and display the battery power and blockage degree.

[0040] The intrinsically safe fan 110 is a key component for air supply. It rotates at a high speed, inhaling the ambient air into the power supply air blower main unit 1, and after filtering, sending it into the protective helmet 4. The intrinsically safe fan 110 has low power consumption and high rotation speed, meeting the requirements of coal mine safety.

[0041] The fan housing 111 is installed on the main body structure 104 of the main unit by screws, and forms an air supply cavity with the groove structure of the main body structure 104 of the main unit.

[0042] The rear cover 112 of the main unit is installed on the main body structure 104 of the main unit by screws, protecting structures such as the main control circuit 103, the vibration motor 113, and the intrinsically safe fan 110.

[0043] The vibration motor 113 is installed on the main body structure 104 of the host and is connected to the main control circuit 103 through a wire. When the battery power is too low or the air supply system is blocked, the vibration motor 113 vibrates to give an alarm.

[0044] The air purification and filtration system is the core function of the mine-used powered air-supplied face mask. Considering the high-humidity and high-dust environment underground, a three-stage filtration consisting of a metal filter screen 108, a primary filter cotton 106, and a high-efficiency filter cartridge 105 is adopted to protect the working life and filtration efficiency of the core components.

[0045] The air purification and filtration system is as Figure 6 shown. A multi-stage dust removal and purification structure is set up to achieve the purpose of efficiently removing dust of different particle sizes, so as to meet the technical requirements of dust removal efficiency and continuous operation duration. There is an air inlet under the filter cartridge cover 107, and a snap structure 114 on the side is connected to the main body structure 104 of the host, which is convenient for the user to remove the front cover by hand to quickly replace the multi-stage dust removal and purification components.

[0046] The ambient air first passes through the metal filter screen 108 to filter large coal dust particles; then passes through the primary filter cotton 106 to separate larger dust particles in the air, achieving secondary filtration; the high-performance filter cartridge 105 is formed by folding the filter material into multiple layers of corrugations to increase the dust capacity and achieve refined dust filtration, filtering particulate dust and suspended matter larger than 5 μm in the air.
