AI Technical Summary
In the prior art, the ventilation is insufficient during operation in limited spaces, and gas detection can only be carried out near the vents. It is impossible to detect internal gas exceeding the standard in time, resulting in the operator being unable to detect the danger and rescue himself in time. External rescue is also prone to expand the scope of accidents.
A limited space operation self-rescue device is designed, including high-pressure gas cylinders, acousto-optical alarms, gas detectors and telescopic rods, which can be carried by operators, detect gas mass in real time and issue alarms in case of danger, providing high-pressure air breathing support to help quickly evacuate or wait for rescue.
Real-time gas detection and alarm in a limited space is realized, ensuring that the operators are safely evacuated or waiting for rescue, reducing the risk of accidents being expanded, and improving the efficiency of self-rescue and external rescue.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of operation self-rescue, in particular to a self-rescuer for operation in a limited space. Background Art
[0002] At present, the safety control method adopted for confined space operations is "ventilation first, then testing, and then operation". Before the operation, the ventilation holes are opened first, natural ventilation or forced ventilation is carried out, and then the oxygen, combustible gas, and toxic gas content are tested to see if they are qualified. After passing the test, personnel and staff can enter the confined space to operate.
[0003] The main problem is insufficient ventilation. Due to site conditions, some sites have only one ventilation hole, or although there are multiple ventilation holes, the internal space is complex and cannot achieve sufficient ventilation. In addition, gas detection can only be carried out near the ventilation hole, which cannot reflect whether the oxygen, combustible gas, and toxic gas content in the confined space exceeds the standard.
[0004] When workers enter a confined space and excessive levels of toxic or flammable gases or low oxygen levels occur, they are unaware of the situation or their bodies are no longer functioning properly by the time they become aware of it. They may even go into shock and be unable to notify outside workers for help. By the time outside workers realize they have lost contact with the workers inside, they are already too late to provide emergency assistance. Furthermore, if outside workers rashly enter to provide assistance, the incident could escalate further. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a self-rescuer for confined space operations, aiming to solve the technical problems of the prior art in that confined space operations have many potential safety hazards and cannot be discovered and self-rescued in time.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides a self-rescuer for confined space operations, comprising a high-pressure gas cylinder, a pressure reducing valve installed at the mouth of the high-pressure gas cylinder, an audible and visual alarm installed on the pressure reducing valve, and the audible and visual alarm electrically connected to a controller and a gas detector;
[0007] A protective sleeve is provided on the periphery of the high-pressure gas cylinder. A telescopic rod is detachably provided on the protective sleeve. A magnetic fixing device for the gas detector is provided on the top of the telescopic rod.
[0008] Furthermore, the pressure reducing valve is connected to a respirator via an air hose, and the respirator is provided with a mouthpiece, an exhaust valve, an air intake valve, and a nose clip.
[0009] Furthermore, a patch is fixed on the protective cover, a magic tape and a magnet are provided on the patch, and the telescopic rod is detachably mounted on the patch via the magic tape or the magnet.
[0010] Furthermore, the pressure reducing valve is provided with an air charging port, a pressure gauge and a pressure switch.
[0011] Furthermore, the protective cover is detachably covered with a backpack adapted to the high-pressure gas cylinder, and the backpack is provided with a shoulder strap;
[0012] A strap is provided at the bag opening of the backpack.
[0013] Furthermore, the sound and light alarm is provided with a pull ring switch.
[0014] Furthermore, one side of the plate is provided with a curved surface adapted to the protective cover, and the other side is provided with a curved surface adapted to the telescopic rod.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0016] 1. When using the existing gas detection device, it is necessary to open the vent and hold the device to detect whether the gas is qualified. There is a problem that the detection position cannot reach the interior of the confined space. If the device is inserted for detection, there will be a safety hazard. This device is equipped with a telescopic rod. The gas detection device can be removed and fixed on the telescopic rod by magnetic attraction. It can be inserted into the confined space to detect whether the gas is qualified. The detection effect and safety are good.
[0017] 2. Three-in-one gas detection + high-pressure air breathing + audio and visual alarm: Gas detection includes: combustible gas, toxic gas and oxygen content, as well as the air pressure inside the high-pressure gas cylinder. The audio and visual alarm notifies outside personnel to organize rescue efforts, and a synchronized strobe light flashes, allowing outside personnel to quickly locate the person being rescued through sound and light, allowing for rapid rescue. It also serves as a reminder for other workers to evacuate quickly.
[0018] 3. High-pressure air breathing apparatus can also be used by workers for rapid evacuation or to support workers for a longer period of time when trapped until rescuers arrive. External workers can also use this apparatus for rescue.
[0019] 4. The sound and light alarm is equipped with a pull ring switch. Under the condition that the gas detection is qualified, if you feel unwell (caused by emotions, illness, etc.), you can pull the pull ring switch to activate the sound and light alarm and wait for external rescue.
[0020] 5. There is a protective cover outside the high-pressure gas cylinder. If the high-pressure gas cylinder is collided, squeezed, etc. during operation, the gas cylinder will be protected from damage and can work normally. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
