Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention patent belongs to the field of fire rescue equipment and relates to a positive pressure air respirator wearable device, and particularly to an improved air respirator wearable device. Background Technology

[0002] Positive pressure breathing apparatus (PPB) is designed to prevent firefighters from inhaling toxic or harmful gases during firefighting or rescue operations, thus enabling them to effectively perform these tasks. It mainly consists of a backplate, pressure reducing valve, air supply valve, face mask, and back support, with the backplate serving as the connection between the air cylinder and the user. However, existing PPB breathing apparatuses still have certain shortcomings in use, such as:

[0003] During rescue operations, conventional rigid air respirators can put pressure on the back of the human body. The back support and back panel also have problems such as fixed connection position and non-adjustability, making it difficult to meet the comfort needs of people of different heights.

[0004] On the other hand, when loading air cylinders of different sizes, straps are usually used to attach the air cylinders to the back plate. However, the straps cannot stably fix the air cylinders, causing them to sway and making the rescuers lose their center of gravity, which exacerbates the physical exertion of the rescuers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a positive pressure air respirator wearable device to solve the problems of the impact force of the air respirator backplate on the back of the human body during rescue operations, the inability to adjust the connection position between the back support and the backplate to meet the needs of people of different heights, and the inability of the straps to stably fix the air cylinder, which causes the air cylinder to shake, resulting in instability of the rescuer's center of gravity and increased physical exertion.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: The positive pressure air respirator wearable device includes a back plate, a ring-shaped gripper, a back support pad, and a waist belt rotating assembly; one end of the ring-shaped gripper is connected to a connecting block via a hinge, the connecting block is fixed to a sliding block via bolts, the sliding block slides in a first groove, and is fixedly connected to the front side of the back plate via bolts, a first adjustment positioning hole, and a groove; the back support pad is connected to a fixed plate via a flexible shock-absorbing ball, the fixed plate slides in a second groove, and is fixedly connected to the rear side of the back plate via bolts, nuts, and a second adjustment positioning hole; the waist belt rotating assembly is respectively installed on the left and right sides of the back plate via hinges, and is connected to a buckle two via the waist belt.

[0007] One end of the ring gripper is connected to the first adjustment and positioning holes evenly distributed in the first sliding grooves on the left and right sides of the back plate via a connecting block and a sliding block, so as to bind gas cylinders of different specifications. The other end is bound by a limiting band and a buckle to form a binding structure.

[0008] The flexible shock-absorbing ball has nuts embedded at both the upper and lower ends. The nuts are fixed to the back support pad and the fixing plate by bolts. The back support pad and the fixing plate on the left and right sides of the back plate can rotate relative to each other, while conforming to the curve shape of the human waist and back. The second sliding groove has four second adjustment and positioning holes to improve the adaptability of people of different heights.

[0009] The back plate has holes in its structure to reduce its weight, while meeting the strength requirements.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0011] This invention redefines the product through analysis and summarization of its usage scenarios: it changes the traditional way of using the product, effectively reduces the physical exertion of rescue personnel, broadens the applicable population, improves the safety of product use, and reduces fatigue in the lower back; it adopts a structural design that combines double-sided back support pads conforming to the curve of the human lower back, flexible shock absorption, and a second adjustment positioning hole, improving the compression and impact experience when wearing the product, while also accommodating users of different heights; it uses a combination of a first adjustment positioning hole, a ring gripper, a limiting strap, and a buckle to secure air cylinders of different sizes, solving the problem of poor human-machine stability caused by air cylinder shaking; the quick-wear buckle structure effectively reduces the equipment donning time for firefighters and improves the practicality of the positive pressure air respirator.
