Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pressure detection technology, and in particular to a rapid pressure tester for oxygen cylinders. Background Technology

[0002] Positive pressure oxygen respirators are personal protective equipment for mine rescue teams. They are self-controlled, closed-loop, positive pressure oxygen respirators suitable for polluted or oxygen-deficient atmospheric environments. Spare oxygen cylinders are used to replace the original oxygen cylinder when its pressure is insufficient, allowing continued safe technical work or underground rescue operations. Therefore, ensuring that the oxygen pressure in the spare oxygen cylinder meets the requirements (oxygen pressure greater than 18 MPa) is crucial.

[0003] The traditional method for measuring oxygen pressure in oxygen cylinders involves opening the respirator casing, removing the original oxygen cylinder, installing the cylinder to be measured, opening the valve, observing the pressure reading on the digital pressure gauge, and then removing the original cylinder, reinstalling it, closing the digital pressure gauge, and finally closing the casing. This method is cumbersome and time-consuming. Especially when there are multiple oxygen cylinders, it's impossible to quickly check the pressure. During underground rescue or work requiring cylinder replacement, the inability to quickly determine the oxygen pressure in the spare cylinder delays the replacement, seriously threatening the lives of rescue personnel.

An air inlet end connected to a threaded nozzle of the oxygen cylinder is installed on the air inlet tube 12. A pressure gauge 13 and a venting valve are installed on the pressure testing tube 11. A pressure relief switch 2 for controlling the opening and closing of the venting valve is also installed on the pressure testing tube 11.

[0025] Furthermore, the air inlet end includes an inner threaded sleeve 14 rotatably mounted on the air inlet pipe 12. The inner threaded sleeve 14 connects the air inlet pipe 12 and the nozzle of the oxygen cylinder. A handwheel 15 is provided on the outer side of the inner threaded sleeve 14. A sealing ring 4 is provided between the air inlet pipe 12 and the nozzle of the oxygen cylinder. The sealing ring 4 is installed on the end of the air inlet pipe 12 facing the nozzle. During installation, the end of the air inlet pipe 12 is aligned with the nozzle of the oxygen cylinder, and the sealing ring 4 is located between the two. Rotating the inner threaded sleeve 14 connects its internal threads with the external threads of the nozzle. The inner threaded sleeve 14 drives the air inlet pipe 12 to press against the nozzle, thereby achieving a sealed connection.

[0026] Furthermore, the handwheel 15 includes a wheel body fixedly connected to the inner threaded sleeve 14, and a plurality of anti-slip teeth extending outward along the radius of the wheel body are distributed circumferentially along the outer edge of the wheel body. The corners of the anti-slip teeth are rounded for easy operation.

[0027] Further, the venting valve includes a valve body 31 installed inside the pressure measuring tube 11, a valve core 32 installed inside the valve body 31, an inlet 33 and an outlet 34 provided on the valve body 31, the inlet 33 communicating with the inner cavity of the pressure measuring tube 11, and the outlet 34 connected to an exhaust pipe 35 passing through the pressure measuring tube 11. The valve core 32 has an air passage 36 connecting the inlet 33 and the outlet 34. A valve core 32 reset device and a valve core 32 limiting device are installed inside the valve body 31. The valve core 32 reset device includes a reset spring 37 installed between the valve core 32 and the valve body 31. The valve core 32 limiting device includes a limiting ring disposed on the inner wall of the valve body 31 to limit the stroke of the valve core 32. The limiting ring includes an exhaust stroke limiting ring 38 and a reset stroke limiting ring 39.

[0028] Furthermore, a sealing ring 4 that mates with the valve core 32 is provided on the inner wall of the valve body 31; a sealing ring 4 that mates with the valve body 31 is provided on the inner wall of the pressure measuring tube 11.

[0029] Furthermore, the pressure relief switch 2 includes a push rod 21 that extends into the pressure testing tube 11 and abuts against the valve core 32 at one end. The pressure relief switch 2 also includes a housing 22, within which the push rod 21 is installed. One end of the push rod 21 extends into the pressure testing tube 11 and abuts against the valve core 32, while the other end extends out of the housing 22. A push rod return spring 23 is installed within the housing 22. Specifically, the housing 22 is fixedly connected to the pressure testing tube 11. A spring limiting ring 24 is installed within the housing 22. A pressure plate 25 is fixedly installed on the push rod 21.

[0030] During pressure testing, connect the end of the inlet pipe 12 of the pressure tester to the threaded nozzle of the oxygen cylinder. Rotate the inner threaded ring 14 to connect its internal thread with the external thread of the nozzle. The inner threaded ring 14 drives the inlet pipe 12 to press against the nozzle, achieving a sealed connection under the action of the sealing ring 4. Open the cylinder valve of the oxygen cylinder, and the pressure testing tube 11 connects to the inside of the oxygen cylinder. The pressure gauge 13, which is connected to the inside of the pressure testing tube 11, detects the pressure value of the oxygen cylinder. After reading the pressure value data, the pressure test is completed. Close the cylinder valve of the oxygen cylinder and press the outer end of the push rod 21 of the pressure relief switch 2. The push rod 21 drives the pressure plate 25 to move towards the release valve against the elastic force of the push rod return spring 23. The other end of the push rod 21 pushes the valve core 32 of the release valve to move to the left (e.g., Figure 3 As shown), the air passage 36 on the valve core 32 connects to the air inlet 33 and air outlet 34 of the vent valve. The pressure stored in the pressure measuring tube 11 is discharged through the air inlet 33, air passage 36, air outlet 34 and exhaust pipe 35 of the vent valve. After the vent is discharged, the push rod 21 of the pressure relief switch 2 is released. The push rod 21 is reset under the action of the push rod return spring 23, and the valve core 32 is reset under the action of the return spring 37, and the vent valve is closed. Turn the handwheel 15 to drive the inner threaded sleeve 14 to rotate. The inner threaded sleeve 14 is removed from the threaded nozzle of the oxygen cylinder, the air inlet pipe 12 is disconnected from the threaded nozzle of the oxygen cylinder, and the pressure measuring device is removed.
