Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of underground self-rescue in coal mines, and in particular relates to a self-rescuer inspection instrument. Background Art

[0002] When a fire occurs in a coal mine, toxic and harmful gases exceed the standard, or a mine accident occurs, the air in the underground environment cannot provide enough oxygen, or there are toxic and harmful gases, which makes it difficult for miners to breathe normally. The self-rescuer can provide oxygen to the miners in an emergency. Therefore, regular inspection of the self-rescuer is very important.

[0003] There are few instruments and equipment on the market for testing the performance of self-rescuers, and the main disadvantages are as follows:

[0004] 1. The self-rescuer is relatively large, approximately 300mm×470mm×200mm, and is inconvenient to carry for on-site inspection.

[0005] 2. The pressure value is tested with a water column pressure gauge. When using it, you need to fill it with the right amount of water, and the water level must be exactly at zero. In actual use, you need to pay special attention. When the pressure exceeds the range, the water will be blown out of the water column pressure gauge, and you need to refill it with water. In addition, the minimum scale of the water column pressure gauge is 10Pa. Due to the influence of tension, the water column liquid surface is not a plane, but a curved surface, which is difficult to read, and the reading is prone to large human errors.

[0006] 3. The air flow rate of the air pump is small. It takes more than 1 minute to blow up a 5L air bag. When doing a negative pressure test, the air pump cannot provide enough negative pressure, resulting in the automatic supply valve not being able to open, and the opening pressure of the automatic supply valve cannot be measured.

[0007] 4. When conducting a respiratory system air tightness test or measuring pressure and controlling a certain flow rate of air flow output during the test, an external person needs to use a rubber hose to manually transfer the gas line through a tee, which is time-consuming. The correctness of the external pipe is related to the level of the tester, which increases the risk of human error. The connection of the external gas line cannot guarantee air tightness, affecting the test pressure results.

[0008] 5. When dealing with large quantities of self-rescuer inspections, the efficiency is low, and the risk of inaccurate measurement results caused by manual readings will increase. The efficiency and accuracy of the test results cannot be guaranteed, and the repeatability is poor. Utility Model Content

They are not used to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented, so they have no substantive technical significance.

It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity from other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0032] The utility model provides an embodiment:

[0033] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a self-rescuer inspection instrument comprises a DC air pump 1, an air source positive and negative pressure switching valve 2, a flow switching valve 3, a glass rotor flowmeter 4, a micro-pressure differential transmitter 5, a quantitative oxygen supply measuring hole 6, a throttle valve 7, an inspection hole 8 and a control module; port A and port B of the air source positive and negative pressure switching valve 2 are connected to the DC air pump 1, port A of the flow switching valve 3 is connected to port P of the air source positive and negative pressure switching valve 2, port B of the flow switching valve 3 is connected to the air outlet end of the glass rotor flowmeter 4, and the air inlet end of the glass rotor flowmeter 4 is respectively connected to port R of the flow switching valve 3 and the quantitative oxygen supply measuring hole 6, port P of the flow switching valve 3 is connected to the first end of the throttle valve 7, and the second end of the throttle valve 7 is respectively connected to the micro-pressure differential transmitter 5 and the inspection hole 8; a buffer gas box 20 is arranged between the DC air pump 1 and the air source positive and negative pressure switching valve 2, and the quantitative oxygen supply measuring hole 6 and the inspection hole 8 are arranged on the shell of the self-rescuer inspection instrument and are both used to connect with the self-rescuer to be inspected.

[0034] The DC air pump 1 is used to provide the positive and negative pressure air sources required for the air tightness detection of the self-rescuer, and to provide the quantitative and stable air source required for the reverse leakage detection of the breathing valve piece of the self-rescuer; the air source positive and negative pressure switching valve 2 is used to switch the positive pressure detection air circuit and the negative pressure detection air circuit; the flow switching valve 3 is used to realize the connection and separation of the glass rotor flowmeter 4 and the entire air circuit; the glass rotor flowmeter 4 is used to detect the gas flow; the micro-pressure differential transmitter 5 is used to detect the air pressure and transmit the detected signal to the control module; the throttle valve 7 is used to control the size of the gas flow.

[0035] In this embodiment, the volume of the self-rescuer is 300mm×300mm×200mm, which is easy to carry and occupies little space; the model of the micro-differential pressure transmitter 5 is HCCY100 micro-differential pressure transmitter, and the measuring range is (-1000~2000)Pa; the accuracy is 0.5%FS; the model of the glass rotor flowmeter 4 is LZB-4 glass rotor flowmeter, and the measuring range is: (0.016—0.16)m 3 / h; Grade: 2.5; This device uses a DC voltage-stabilizing pump body, which can provide a stable airflow of 20L / min. It only takes 15s to blow up a 5L airbag. The positive pressure output can reach 350KPa, and the negative pressure input can reach -90KPa. The negative pressure can suck the airbag to the air supply pressure plate to open the automatic supply valve to meet the test requirements. By rotating the knobs of the two two-position five-way valve reversing valves, the positive and negative pressures of the gas source output can be directly switched inside the instrument, and the glass rotor flowmeter can be selected and incorporated into the output gas path to measure the instantaneous flow of the output gas flow. The gas path can also be cut out separately to measure the quantitative oxygen supply value of the self-rescuer separately. The airflow output hole is retained on the outside of the instrument. During the test, you only need to connect the self-rescuer to the output hole with a rubber hose. There is no need to configure external pipelines. Different inspection functions can be achieved through the function selection knob, which can improve efficiency and reduce human connection errors.

[0036] The control module of the device includes a control panel 9, a voltage-stabilized power supply 10, a power button 11, a battery pack 12 and a touch serial port display screen 13; wherein the voltage-stabilized power supply 10, the battery pack 12 and the touch serial port display screen 13 are all connected to the control panel 9, and the power button 11 is connected between the voltage-stabilized power supply 10 and the 220V AC power supply; the DC air pump 1 and the micro differential pressure transmitter 5 are all connected to the control panel 9. The inspection instrument has a built-in 12V battery pack and can be used in an environment without a 220V AC power supply, thereby improving the adaptability of the inspection environment.

[0037] The air source positive and negative pressure switching valve 2 and the flow switching valve 3 are both two-position five-way electric valves; the electric valve includes an upper base 14 and a lower base 15 that are interlocked, as well as a valve body 16, a cam 17, a sliding mechanism 18 and a motor compartment 19; the motor compartment 19 with a built-in motor and reducer is snapped on the upper end of the upper base 14, and the upper base 14 and the lower base 15 are snapped on the valve body 16. The cam 17 drives the sliding mechanism 18 to move relative to the valve body 16 under the action of the motor and the reducer, and the sliding mechanism 18 pushes and pulls the valve stem of the valve body 16 to retract and control the change of the air path in the valve body 16.

[0038] The core of this device is to design a set of air circuits to perform functions such as the air tightness of the breathing system of the self-rescuer and the reverse leakage of the breathing valve. Two two-position five-way valves are used to realize the functional switching of pressure and flow detection. In conjunction with the flow control valve, the size of the airflow can be accurately controlled to achieve the given set pressure value, and the self-rescuer under test can be inspected according to the standard.

[0039] After the equipment is powered on, when testing the air tightness of the self-rescuer breathing system, the mouthpiece of the self-rescuer to be tested is connected to the inspection hole 8 of the equipment through a special tooling; when testing the positive pressure air tightness, the air source positive and negative pressure switching valve 2 is turned to one side to connect the positive pressure air path; when testing the negative pressure air tightness, it is turned to the other side to connect the negative pressure air path; press the DC air pump start / stop button to start the DC air pump and pressurize the airbag; control the strength of the DC air pump output airflow by controlling the speed of the DC air pump, and control the size of the airflow by turning the throttle valve; when the pressure reaches the test pressure, close the throttle valve to maintain the pressure, start timing, observe the drop in the pressure indicator on the screen, and complete the breathing system air tightness test.

[0040] When measuring the quantitative oxygen supply, the device to be tested is connected to the quantitative oxygen supply measurement hole 6, and the flow switching valve is turned to one side. At this time, the flow meter can be separated from the entire gas path, so that the quantitative oxygen supply flow rate can be measured separately. When the flow switching valve is turned to the other side, the flow meter is connected to the entire gas path. By controlling the opening and closing degree of the throttle valve, the output of a constant flow of air can be controlled as a test gas source, and by connecting to the test hole 8, the test of related tests can be realized.

[0041] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
