Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to respiratory protection devices, and in particular to a single-canister half-face mask that can be checked for airtightness. Background Technology

[0002] A dust / gas respirator half-face mask is a respiratory protection device that, by replacing different types of filters and absorbent canisters, is compatible with various working environments. It protects the respiratory organs and face from dust, bacteria, or toxic and harmful gases.

[0003] Depending on the usage scenario and protection requirements, respiratory protective masks can be divided into various types. Half-masks cover the mouth and nose when used, are suitable for environments with low concentrations of pollutants, and are more convenient to wear. Half-masks typically consist of an outer shell, a face mask, a sealing ring, a filter and its components, and a valve and its components. Existing half-masks have problems such as insufficient airtightness at the connection between the mask body and the face shield, insufficient airtightness between the valve and the mask body, poor fit between the face shield and the facial contours, and unstable and secure connections. Therefore, there is a need to design a half-mask that can self-check its airtightness. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a single-canister half-face mask that can be checked for airtightness. Its structure is simple and reasonable, the connection is stable and reliable, the airtightness is excellent, and it has a good protective effect. It can quickly and effectively check the airtightness of the mask.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A single-canister half-face mask capable of airtightness inspection includes a mask body, a face shield, a filter connector, an exhalation valve, straps, an airtightness inspection assembly, and a protective cover.

[0007] The cover is a shell with a recessed cavity on the back, which conforms to the contour of the lower half of the human face. A face-protecting soft body is seamlessly connected to the edge of the rear contour of the cover, allowing the face-protecting soft body to contact the facial skin during wear, reducing pressure and friction, and improving wearing comfort. The face-protecting soft body is a ring-shaped soft structure with a hollow cavity in the middle, and can be made of TPE material.

[0008] The front side of the cover is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet;

[0009] The air inlet of the hood is equipped with a filter connector, and the filter is detachably connected to the filter connector; the air outlet of the hood is equipped with an exhalation valve, and a protective cover is provided on the outside of the exhalation valve, which is hinged to the hood.

[0010] The exhalation valve is a one-way valve. When exhaling, if the air pressure inside the concave cavity of the mask is higher than the external air pressure, the valve plate is pushed open, allowing air to escape to the outside. When the air pressure inside the concave cavity is less than or equal to the external air pressure, the valve plate resets, blocking the air outlet. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0011] The filter connector includes a connector and an air intake valve. The connector is fixed on the cover, and the air intake valve is movably connected to the connector. The main structure of the air intake valve is attached to the inner wall of the connector, and the air intake valve and the inner wall of the connector can form an opening and closing gap. The air intake valve is usually made of rubber and has a certain deformation performance.

[0012] The airtightness inspection component is located in the recess of the cover and inside the filter connector.

[0013] The airtightness inspection assembly includes a pressure plate, a handle, a rotating shaft, a swing arm, and a pivot. The outer surface of the pressure plate is a flat panel used to press the intake valve plate during testing. Its top end is connected to the pivot, and its lower section has a limiting claw. The pivot is rotatably connected to an ear seat on the cover. The rotating shaft is horizontally positioned, with handles connected to both ends. The middle section is connected to the swing arm, and the middle section also has a horizontally positioned limiting groove. The swing arm is positioned within the limiting claw.

[0014] When checking the airtightness of the mask, rotate the handle to rotate the shaft, causing the lever to push the pressure plate outward. This pressure plate presses the air intake valve plate tightly against the inner wall of the connector, ensuring a tight seal at the air intake during inspection. Simultaneously, when the limit pawl engages with the limit groove, it provides self-locking and allows the fingers holding the handle to be released.

[0015] Preferably, the cover is provided with strap mounting holes, and the front side of the strap is connected to the strap mounting holes; in use, the rear side of the strap is fitted onto the back of the head.

[0016] Briefly describe its working principle:

[0017] Gas in the environment passes through the filter element (lower connection port) connected to the single-canister half-mask. After filtration, the inlet valve opens, and the exhaust valve closes to maintain a seal (due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside), allowing the gas to enter the mask. After breathing, exhalation opens the upper exhaust valve (on the same principle), and gas is expelled from the exhaust valve, expelling the warm, humid air inside, completing the breathing and ventilation process.

[0018] Inspection principle: By turning the handle, the intake valve plate is fixed, so that gas cannot enter through the valve plate.

[0019] Inspection method and steps:

[0020] 1. Rotate the handles on both sides of the mask downwards by 90°. (Close)

[0021] 2. As you inhale gently (slowly), check if air is flowing into the area where the mask contacts your face. (You should feel your face gripping the respirator.)

[0022] 3. Turn the handle upwards 90°. (Release)

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] Its structural design is simple and reasonable, the connection is stable and reliable, the airtightness is excellent, and it has a good protective effect; it can quickly and effectively check the airtightness of the mask. Attached Figure Description
