[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a portable eyewash device, including a housing 10, a top cover 20, and an eyewash station 30. The housing 10 has an internal storage space 11 for accommodating the eyewash station 30, and the top cover 20 is detachably mounted on the upper part of the housing 10 to close the upper part of the storage space 11. The eyewash station 30 includes a liquid bottle 31, a water pipe 33, a water pump 32, and a nozzle 34. One end of the water pipe 33 is inserted into the liquid bottle 31, and the water pump 32 is connected to the water pipe 33 for drawing liquid. The other end of the water pipe 33 is connected to the nozzle 34. There are multiple eyewash stations 30, and the liquid bottles 31 corresponding to different eyewash stations 30 are used to hold eyewash liquids with different chemical properties. Through the above technical solution, the box 10 is set to carry multiple eyewash stations 30, and the corresponding liquid bottles 31 of different eyewash stations 30 can be used to carry eyewash liquids with different chemical properties. With this setting, the box 10 can be easily carried by the operator, and the corresponding liquid bottles 31 can be used to carry eyewash liquids with different chemical properties so that the operator can choose the appropriate liquid for cleaning according to the cause of the injury, ensuring that rescue treatment can be completed in a timely and correct manner after the injury.

[0039] In this disclosure, the housing 10 and the top cover 20 serve to house multiple eyewash stations 30, thereby increasing the integration of the multiple eyewash stations 30 and facilitating the carrying of multiple eyewash stations 30 containing various liquids to accommodate different types of operator injuries.

[0040] The eyewash station 30 includes a liquid bottle 31, a water pipe 33, a water pump 32, and a nozzle 34. The liquid bottle 31 is used to hold the liquid for eyewash (such as clean water, acidic liquid, and alkaline liquid). The water pipe 33 is inserted into the liquid bottle 31, and the water pump 32 is connected to the water pipe 33. When the liquid for eyewash needs to be obtained, the water pump 32 is started to draw the liquid from the liquid bottle 31 and spray it out from the nozzle 34 to realize the eyewash operation.

[0041] In this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the multiple liquid bottles 31 corresponding to the multiple eyewash stations 30 can be arranged at intervals, and all the liquid bottles 31 are relatively fixed to the housing 10. This arrangement ensures the relative fixation between the multiple liquid bottles 31, thereby ensuring that the various liquids are independent of each other, and facilitating the individual use of each liquid.

[0042] In this disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the nozzles 34 of different eyewash stations 30 can be configured with different shapes and structures. This allows operators to easily distinguish between different fluids in an emergency, facilitating the accurate and rapid selection of the correct fluid for first aid.

[0043] In this disclosure, the eyewash station 30 may include an eyewash switch 35, which is electrically connected to a water pump 32. The eyewash switch 35 is used to control the start and stop of the water pump 32. This configuration facilitates control of the start and stop of the water pump 32, thereby facilitating the operator's access to the liquid.

[0044] In this disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 10 may include a side plate 12, a bottom plate 13, and a top plate 14. A receiving space 11 is formed between the side plate 12 and the bottom plate 13. The top plate 14 is used to limit the upper position of the liquid bottles 31. The top plate 14 is installed on the inner wall of the side plate 12 and is lower than the upper edge of the side plate 12. A water passage hole 141 is provided on the top plate 14. The side plate 12, bottom plate 13, and top plate 14 are connected to form a complete housing 10. The bottom plate 13 can be used to support the eyewash station 30, and the top plate 14 limits the upper part of multiple liquid bottles 31. This ensures that the upper parts of the liquid bottles 31 near the nozzle 34 are isolated from each other, thereby preventing liquids with different chemical properties from affecting each other.

[0045] The upper plate 14 is provided with a water passage hole 141, and the upper plate 14 is lower than the upper edge of the side plate 12. This facilitates the flow of liquid through the water passage hole 141, reduces liquid dripping into the surrounding environment, and reduces the impact on the surrounding environment.

[0046] In this disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing 10 may include a perforated limiting plate 15, which is installed on the inner side wall of the side plate 12 and located within the receiving space 11. The limiting plate 15 has a limiting hole 151 for the liquid bottle 31 to pass through and for limiting the position of the liquid bottle 31. In this way, the relative positions of multiple liquid bottles 31 can be defined, preventing the bodies of multiple liquid bottles 31 from colliding with each other, thereby protecting the liquid bottles 31 from damage.

[0047] In this disclosure, the base plate 13 may further include an upper base plate 131 and a lower base plate 132. The upper base plate 131 and the lower base plate 132, together with the side plate 12, form a water collection tank 16. The upper base plate 131 has a hollow structure for supporting the liquid bottle 31. The water collection tank 16 also includes a drain valve 161, which is installed at the bottom of the side plate 12. This arrangement facilitates the unified discharge of liquid through the water collection tank 16.

[0048] The liquid flow path is as follows: the liquid in the liquid bottle 31 is pumped out by the water pump 32 to wash the operator's eyes. Most of the used liquid can fall back to the upper plate 14 by gravity, pass through the water passage 141 of the upper plate 14, and then through the hollow limit plate 15 and the hollow upper bottom plate 131 into the water collection tank 16. Then, the drain valve 161 is opened at the appropriate position to collect and discharge the used liquid in a unified manner, reducing environmental pollution.

[0049] In this disclosure, the top cover 20 may include a top cover body 21, a handle 22, a carrying handle 23, and a connecting portion 24. The handle 22 is mounted on the top cover body 21, the carrying handle 23 is rotatably mounted on the top cover body 21, and the connecting portion 24 is formed on the top cover body 21 and is detachably connected to the mounting portion 18 of the housing 10. The handle 22 facilitates the handling of the top cover 20, allowing force to be applied when the top cover 20 is closed and opened. The carrying handle 23 facilitates the carrying of the portable eyewash station 100.

[0050] In this disclosure, such as Figure 3 As shown, a call button 40 can be installed on the inner wall of the upper cover 20. The inner contour of the upper cover 20 is set as a horn-shaped opening that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. With this design, when the operator needs to seek help, he / she can press the call button 40 to call for help in a timely manner. The upper cover 20, which is set as a horn, can be used as a loudspeaker to amplify the call sound emitted by the call button 40, so as to realize the call for help from a distance or in a large environment.

[0051] In embodiments of this disclosure, the pager 40 may include a signal call and a buzzer call. The buzzer call can be used to call nearby people, enabling operators to receive timely assistance from nearby staff. The signal call can be used to call for help from control personnel or supervisors, enabling timely control and investigation of accidents.

[0052] In this disclosure, a lighting device 50 can be installed on the upper cover 20, and the lighting device 50 is electrically connected to a power bank 60 installed on the upper cover 20. This arrangement facilitates operation in relatively dark environments, providing illumination during eyewash, and helps operators accurately select the necessary liquids while quickly and accurately completing rescue actions. The power bank 60 ensures that the lighting device 50 remains continuously powered.

[0053] In this disclosure, the portable eyewash station 100 can be a multi-functional emergency device composed of a lighting device 50, an emergency call button 40, a megaphone formed by the top cover 20, a power bank 60, and a housing 10. When maintenance personnel are working in acid and alkali environments, they can carry this device. In case of acid or alkali injury, they can immediately open the top cover 20, press the call switch 17 to trigger the call button 40 to call for help, and simultaneously press the eyewash switch 35 to rinse with clean water. Then, depending on the acid or alkali medium encountered, appropriate neutralization and cleaning can be performed. Suitable chemical liquids such as 0.5% sodium bicarbonate or 1% acetic acid can be used for neutralization and cleaning. To facilitate the rapid and accurate selection of liquids, different liquids are loaded into different eyewash stations 30. Each eyewash station 30 may include a first eyewash station 301, a second eyewash station 302, and a third eyewash station 303. The first eyewash station 301 includes a first liquid bottle 311, a first water pipe 33, a first water pump 32, and a first nozzle 341. The second eyewash station 302 includes a second liquid bottle 312, a second water pipe 33, a second water pump 32, and a second nozzle 342. The third eyewash station 303 includes a third liquid bottle 313, a third water pipe 33, a third water pump 32, and a third nozzle 343. The first liquid bottle 311, the second liquid bottle 312, and the third liquid bottle 313 are independent of each other and are used to load eyewash liquids with different chemical properties, ensuring independent loading of different liquids. The nozzles 34 are configured with different structures. For example, the first nozzle 341, an acid nozzle, can be convex; the second nozzle 342, a water nozzle, can be concave; and the third nozzle 343, an alkali nozzle, can be planar. This device solves the problem of operators being unable to receive immediate emergency treatment after injury, reducing the severity of injuries and ensuring personnel safety. Simultaneously, the device integrates functions such as remote and local emergency call for help, emergency lighting, and equipment recharging.

[0054] The specific operating steps of this device are as follows: First, turn on the lighting device 50, open the top cover 20 (the top cover 20 can be used as a loudspeaker), press the call switch 17 to trigger the emergency call device 40 to call for help, and simultaneously notify the person in charge and colleagues nearby; Second, press the eyewash switch 35, and the nozzle 34 will spray clean water to wash the eyes or skin; Third, perform appropriate neutralization and cleaning according to the acid or alkaline medium encountered; Fourth, after cleaning is completed, the liquid collects in the water collection tank 16 inside the box 10 and is discharged uniformly, without causing pollution to the on-site environment.

[0055] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0056] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction, and this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0057] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
