Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of biosafety laboratories, in particular to a sealed window used in a negative pressure environment of a biosafety laboratory. Background Art

[0002] According to GB19489-2008, General Requirements for Laboratory Biosafety, the airtightness of the laboratory containment area enclosure must meet the following requirements: When all access to the room under test is closed and the room temperature is maintained at the upper limit of the design range, the air pressure in the room must naturally decay to less than 250 Pa within 20 minutes after rising to 500 Pa. Under normal operating conditions, the pressure difference (negative pressure) between the laboratory's core workroom and the outdoor atmospheric pressure should be no less than 40 Pa, and the pressure difference (negative pressure) with adjacent areas should be no less than 15 Pa. Therefore, the sealed windows within the laboratory's core area require special sealing and protection requirements. Currently, most laboratories use the following method: manually clean color-coated steel plates combined with aluminum profiles for observation windows; or mechanically clean color-coated steel plates with holes sealed to the observation windows using adhesive. The observation window glass is often bonded to insulating glass (glass + spacer + glass). Both methods have certain drawbacks: First, the overall airtightness is insufficient, making it difficult to meet the airtightness requirements of P3 biosafety laboratories. Second, the level of protection provided by the sealed windows is insufficient, with most currently using double-layer 5mm glass, which lacks overall strength. Third, there is no rational design for negative pressure laboratory conditions, and conventional observation windows are used. Utility Model Content

[0046] The following examples will be used to more specifically describe the embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these examples.

[0047] Example

[0048] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1-6 As shown, a sealed window for use in a negative pressure environment of a biosafety laboratory comprises an aluminum profile 1, a first layer of glass 2 and a second layer of glass 3; each edge of the aluminum profile 1 is provided with a first inclined surface 1-1 for bonding to the first layer of glass 2 and a second inclined surface 1-2 for bonding to the second layer of glass 3; a first sealant 4 is provided between the first layer of glass 2 and the first inclined surface 1-1, and between the second layer of glass 3 and the second inclined surface 1-2 for sealing; in addition, two triangular gaps are formed between the head and tail ends of the first inclined surface 1-1 and the first layer of glass 2, and a triangular gap is formed between the tail end of the second inclined surface 1-2 and the second layer of glass 3; the above three triangular gaps are all filled with a second sealant 5; a buffer substance 6 is filled between the first inclined surface 1-1 and the second inclined surface 1-2.

[0049] In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the first inclined surface 1 - 1 and the second inclined surface 1 - 2 is 45°.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first sealant 4 is butyl sealant.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second sealant 5 is silicone sealant.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first layer of glass 2 and the second layer of glass 3 are both tempered glass.

[0053] In this embodiment, the thickness of the tempered glass is 10 mm, and the four corners of the tempered glass are all provided with 8 mm chamfers.

[0054] In this embodiment, the buffer material 6 is foamed silica gel.

[0055] This embodiment utilizes an aluminum profile structure with two 45-degree slopes, front and back, for mounting and sealing tempered glass. The front glass mounting surface is smaller than the rear glass mounting surface. This design allows for the installation of the first (smaller) layer of glass 2 during the entire aluminum alloy profile welding process, followed by the sealing of the second (larger) layer of glass 3.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first layer of glass 2 serves as the negative pressure side, and the second layer of glass 3 serves as the positive pressure side.

[0057] This embodiment uses 10mm thick tempered glass with 8mm chamfers on all four sides. This is done to increase the effective lateral contact area between the glass and the frame when the glass on the positive pressure side acts on the frame. Furthermore, the initial seal (butyl rubber) between the tempered glass and the aluminum alloy frame is formed at a 45-degree first bevel 1-1, ensuring a tighter fit between the glass and the aluminum alloy frame.

[0058] In this embodiment, there are two sealing processes. The first sealing process uses butyl rubber for internal sealing, and the second sealing process uses silicone rubber for external sealing of the glass. Figure 6 shown.

[0059] Butyl rubber offers excellent airtightness, chemical stability, and thermal stability. It effectively blocks water vapor penetration, which is crucial for maintaining the transparency and longevity of glass. Its aging and chemical resistance ensures the stability of glass in various environments. Furthermore, the use of butyl rubber can reduce water vapor transmission, further extending the service life of glass.

[0060] Silicone adhesive offers high bond strength, UV resistance, excellent high and low temperature resistance, and weather resistance, while also providing structural reinforcement. Silicone adhesive is highly compatible with the sealant used to caulk curtain wall panels, ensuring the structural safety of glass. Its extremely low water absorption makes it suitable for glass exposed to long-term environmental conditions. As a secondary sealant, silicone adhesive primarily provides structural reinforcement.

[0061] In this embodiment, the inner lining of the biosafety sealing valve is made of silica gel and filled with 3A molecular sieve to absorb internal moisture and perform a drying function.

[0062] This embodiment is a new structure for a P3 laboratory biosafety enclosure window, which significantly improves the sealing, thermal insulation, and safety protection performance of the biosafety enclosure window, helping to ensure the safety of experiments and production.

[0063] The specific parameters of this embodiment are as follows:

[0064] Aluminum profile 1: The longitudinal beam is 1199.5 mm long, the transverse beam is 799.5 mm long, and the width is 50 mm. The length of the housing for installing the first layer of glass 2 is 30 mm, and the length of the housing for installing the second layer of glass 3 is 8 mm.

[0065] First layer of glass 2: length 1151.5 mm, width 751.5 mm.

[0066] Second layer of glass 3: length 1179.5mm, width 779.5mm.

[0067] It should be pointed out that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
