Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of connecting pieces for inflatable airtight doors, in particular to a ventilated connecting piece for inflatable airtight doors. Background Art
[0002] Inflatable airtight doors are typically used in rooms with high airtightness requirements in high-level biosafety laboratories, nuclear power plants, ships, and other facilities. They provide airtight isolation between different areas within the enclosure. In the biosafety field, airtight doors are primarily used in core workrooms of BSL-4 and ABSL-3 / 4 laboratories, adjacent airlocks, and chemical shower disinfection rooms.
[0003] Currently available inflatable airtight doors have inflatable rubber strips embedded around the door body. When the strips expand, they squeeze the door frame to create a seal. The strip's inflation hose is introduced from the door frame into the door body. This connects the door frame and door body via the inflation hose, ensuring air flow between the door frame and door body without affecting the door's free movement. However, this method leaves the inflation hose exposed, affecting the overall aesthetics. Furthermore, repeated opening and closing of the door accelerates aging of the inflation hose, reducing its service life and increasing the risk of leaks.
[0004] Our research and development direction is how to ensure that the air path between the door frame and the door body is connected while removing the exposed inflation hose. The door frame and the door body are both connected by hinged connectors (i.e. hinges). If you want to remove the inflation hose, you can only use the connectors as ventilation channels, so that it can realize both hinged connection functions and air path connection functions.
