Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of diving air distribution equipment, in particular to a portable air distribution device for diving operations. Background Art

[0002] Diving is one of the most dangerous jobs humans currently undertake, especially in deep sea or complex underwater environments, where divers face multiple challenges. Among them, the supply of breathing gas is the most basic and crucial part of diving operations.

[0003] In the existing diving process, an air compressor is set up on the shore, and then compressed air is delivered to the divers through pipes for breathing. However, when multiple divers go into the water to work at the same time, multiple air compressors are needed, which leads to higher environmental requirements at the work site and requires sufficient area to place these air compressors. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a portable air distribution device for diving operations, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A portable air distribution device for diving operations comprises a box body, an air distribution main pipe, an air intake pipe and several air distribution branch pipes, the air distribution main pipe is installed in the box body, one end of the air intake pipe is connected to the air distribution main pipe, and the other end extends out of the box body and is used to connect to the main air supply component; several air distribution branch pipes are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the air distribution main pipe, one end of the air distribution branch pipe is connected to the air distribution main pipe, and the other end is used to connect to the air supply pipe, and each of the air distribution branch pipes is installed with a first valve; the box body is provided with avoidance holes at positions corresponding to the air distribution branch pipes.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, before diving operations, the main air supply component is first connected to the air intake pipe, and then extended into the box through the avoidance hole according to actual needs to connect to the corresponding number of air distribution branches; therefore, during diving operations, only one main air supply component needs to be turned on, and the compressed air will be transported to the diver in sequence through the air intake pipe, the air distribution main pipe and the air distribution branch pipe; since only one main air supply component is needed to complete the air supply to multiple divers, it is possible to supply air to more divers in a narrow working environment.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of spare pipes are provided on the side where the gas distribution main pipe is connected to the intake pipe, one end of the spare pipe is connected to the gas distribution main pipe, and the other end extends out of the box and is used to connect to the spare air supply component, and a second valve is installed on the intake pipe and each of the spare pipes.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to ensure the safety of divers when working underwater, multiple air supply components can be connected through a spare pipe. For example, when the air intake pipe is connected to an electric air compressor, the air supply component can be an oil air compressor, an air supply bottle, etc. When the electric air compressor loses power, the second valve at the air intake pipe can be closed, and the second valve on the spare pipe corresponding to an air supply component can be opened, so that air can be supplied to the diver uninterruptedly, thereby improving the safety of the entire operation process.

[0010] Preferably, a pressure gauge is installed at a position where the air intake pipe is located inside the box, and the second valve is installed at a position where the air intake pipe or the spare pipe is located outside the box.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator can check the air pressure value in the gas distribution main according to the pressure value in the pressure gauge, and then determine whether the corresponding air supply parts are supplying air normally. The second valve is installed at the position where the spare pipe is outside the box and the intake pipe is located inside the box, so that the air pressure value can be detected regardless of whether the intake pipe or the spare pipe is connected.

[0012] Preferably, the box body includes a box body with an upper opening and a cover plate covering the opening of the box body, one end of the cover plate is hinged to the box body, and the other end is detachably connected to the box body through a locking piece.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the structure inside the box can be inspected, maintained, and other operations can be performed by opening and closing the cover, which is highly practical.

[0014] Preferably, a fixing plate is installed at the opening of the box body and directly above the air intake pipe, and the dial of the pressure gauge is installed on the fixing plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation position of the pressure gauge is made more stable, and damage during transportation is reduced.

[0016] Preferably, the cover plate is provided with an observation port at a position corresponding to the pressure gauge, and a transparent plate is installed at the observation port.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator can observe the value of the pressure gauge from the observation port outside the box, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0018] Preferably, the avoidance holes are extended along the arrangement direction of the gas distribution branch pipes.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the operating space is expanded and the connection of each gas distribution branch pipe is made more convenient.

[0020] Preferably, the gas distribution branch pipes are all located on the same side of the gas distribution main pipe, and the air intake pipe is located on the other side of the gas distribution main pipe.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the overall structural distribution can be made neater and the compressed gas delivery can be made more stable.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. Before diving, first connect the main air supply unit to the air intake pipe, and then extend it into the box through the avoidance hole to connect the corresponding number of air distribution pipes according to actual needs. Therefore, during diving operations, only one main air supply unit needs to be turned on, and compressed air will be delivered to the divers in sequence through the air intake pipe, the air distribution main pipe, and the air distribution pipes. Since only one main air supply unit is needed to complete the air supply for multiple divers, it can meet the needs of supplying air to more divers in a narrow working environment.

[0024] 2. To ensure the safety of divers during underwater operations, multiple air supply components can be connected through a spare pipe. For example, when the air intake pipe is connected to an electric air compressor, the air supply component can be an oil air compressor, an air supply cylinder, etc. When the electric air compressor loses power, the second valve on the air intake pipe can be closed, and the second valve on the spare pipe corresponding to the air supply component can be opened, thereby ensuring uninterrupted air supply to the diver and improving the safety of the entire operation process;

[0025] 3. The air pressure value in the gas distribution main can be checked according to the pressure value in the pressure gauge, and then it can be judged whether the corresponding gas supply parts are supplying gas normally. The second valve is installed at the position where the spare pipe is outside the box and the intake pipe is located inside the box, so that the air pressure value can be detected regardless of whether the intake pipe or the spare pipe is connected.
