Detailed Implementation
[0042] Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of this application; therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0043] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0044] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0045] When performing underwater operations or pressurized cutterhead replacement operations on tunnel boring machines, workers must breathe special gases to support their lives. The conventional method is to breathe a binary gas mixture at depths shallower than 40 meters (pressure less than 4 kg) or, to save costs, to breathe air. However, at pressures exceeding 4 kg, workers are prone to nitrogen paralysis, which is life-threatening. For operations deeper than 40 meters, saturation diving is used, employing a binary gas mixture of 93% helium and 7% oxygen. The problem with this method is the heavy weight of the breathing and diving equipment, extremely high helium consumption, and very high costs. After completing the operation, workers must decompress in the decompression chamber for 500-700 minutes. After decompression, they must wait another 24 hours before resuming operations. This process is extremely inefficient and costly, representing a major pain point in the industry.
[0046] Accordingly, this application provides a gas mixing device for high-pressure environments, comprising: a housing, a gas supply device, a mixing ratio control device disposed within the housing, and a gas mixing storage device. The gas supply device provides helium, oxygen, and nitrogen. The mixing ratio control device is connected to the gas supply device and the gas mixing storage device. The mixing ratio control device automatically adjusts the proportions of the helium, oxygen, and nitrogen supplied by the gas supply device according to the pressure value of the diving operation, mixes the adjusted gases to form a gas mixture, and delivers it to the gas mixing storage device. The gas mixing storage device distributes the gas mixture according to the specified ratio.
[0047] This application can be understood as providing helium, oxygen, and nitrogen through a gas supply device to meet the gas requirements of diving operations. A mixing ratio control device automatically adjusts the proportions of the helium, oxygen, and nitrogen supplied by the gas supply device according to the diving pressure, and then mixes the adjusted gases to form a mixed gas. This automatic adjustment of the helium, oxygen, and nitrogen proportions according to the diving pressure significantly shortens decompression time, and the proportions of helium, oxygen, and nitrogen are adjusted in real time according to the diving pressure, thus meeting the needs of different diving environments and improving the operation time and efficiency of diving operations. Furthermore, the gas supply device, the mixing ratio control device housed in the enclosure, and the mixed gas storage device provided in this application have a small number of components and a relatively simple structure, thereby significantly reducing costs when applied to diving operations.
[0048] The mixed gas apparatus for high-pressure environment operation provided in this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a mixed gas device for high-pressure environment operation provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0049] like Figure 1As shown, this application provides a mixed gas device for high-pressure environment operations, including: a housing, a gas supply device 1, a mixing ratio control device 5 disposed in the housing, and a mixed gas storage device 6. The gas supply device 1 provides helium, oxygen, and nitrogen. The mixing ratio control device 5 is connected to the gas supply device 1 and the mixed gas storage device 6.

Further, in one example, the helium supply assembly 2 includes multiple helium supply cylinders 21, a helium flow control valve 22, and a helium delivery pipeline 23. The multiple helium supply cylinders 21 are connected in parallel to the helium delivery pipeline 23, allowing helium from the multiple helium supply cylinders 21 to be delivered through the helium delivery pipeline 23. The helium delivery pipeline 23 is connected to the first gas diversion valve (hereinafter referred to as the gas diversion valve), specifically, the helium delivery pipeline 23 is connected to the helium valve port of the first gas diversion valve, so as to deliver helium from multiple helium supply cylinders 21 to the gas collection chamber 51 (hereinafter referred to as the gas diversion valve) through the helium delivery pipeline 23 and the helium valve port of the first gas diversion valve. A helium flow control valve 22 is provided on the helium delivery pipeline 23 to control the flow rate of helium in the helium delivery pipeline 23. In one example, the helium supply assembly 2 also includes a gas detection device, which is provided at the parallel connection point between the helium delivery pipeline 23 and each helium supply cylinder 21, to detect the amount of helium in each helium supply cylinder 21, so as to replenish the helium in the helium supply cylinder 21 in a timely manner when the helium in the helium supply cylinder 21 is insufficient.
[0051] Correspondingly, the oxygen supply assembly 3 includes multiple oxygen supply cylinders 31, an oxygen flow control valve 32, and an oxygen delivery pipeline 33. The multiple oxygen supply cylinders 31 are connected in parallel to the oxygen delivery pipeline 33, allowing oxygen from the cylinders to be delivered through this pipeline. The oxygen delivery pipeline 33 is connected to a first gas diversion valve, specifically to the oxygen valve port, to deliver oxygen from the cylinders 31 to the gas collection chamber 51 via the pipeline and the valve port. The oxygen flow control valve 32 is located on the pipeline 33 and controls the flow rate of oxygen within it. In one example, the oxygen supply assembly 3 also includes a gas detection device, which is installed at the parallel connection between the oxygen delivery pipeline 33 and each oxygen supply cylinder 31. The gas detection device is used to detect the amount of oxygen in each oxygen supply cylinder 31 so as to replenish the oxygen in the oxygen supply cylinder 31 in a timely manner when the oxygen in the oxygen supply cylinder 31 is insufficient.
[0052] Correspondingly, the nitrogen supply assembly 4 includes multiple nitrogen supply cylinders 41, a nitrogen flow control valve 42, and a nitrogen delivery pipeline 43. The multiple nitrogen supply cylinders 41 are connected in parallel to the nitrogen delivery pipeline 43, allowing nitrogen from the cylinders to be delivered through the pipeline. The nitrogen delivery pipeline 43 is connected to a first gas diversion valve, specifically to the nitrogen valve port, to deliver nitrogen from the cylinders 41 to the gas collection chamber 51 via the pipeline and the valve port. The nitrogen flow control valve 42 is located on the nitrogen delivery pipeline 43 and controls the flow rate of nitrogen within it. In one example, the nitrogen supply assembly 4 also includes a gas detection device, which is installed at the parallel connection point between the nitrogen delivery pipeline 43 and each nitrogen supply cylinder 41. The gas detection device is used to detect the amount of nitrogen in each nitrogen supply cylinder 41 so as to replenish the amount of nitrogen in the nitrogen supply cylinder 41 in a timely manner when the nitrogen in the nitrogen supply cylinder 41 is insufficient.
[0053] The mixing ratio control device 5 is connected to the gas supply device 1 and the mixed gas storage device 6. The mixing ratio control device 5 automatically adjusts the ratio of helium, oxygen and nitrogen supplied by the gas supply device 1 according to the pressure value of the diving operation, and mixes the gases after the adjustment ratio to form a mixed gas and delivers it to the mixed gas storage device 6.
[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mixing ratio control device 5 includes: a gas collecting chamber 51, a first gas flow control valve 52, a first gas diversion valve, a first mixed gas output pipeline 53, and a pressure sensing component. The gas collecting chamber 51 is located inside the housing. The first gas diversion valve is connected to the gas collecting chamber 51 and the gas supply device 1, and is connected to the nitrogen delivery pipeline 43, helium delivery pipeline 23, and oxygen delivery pipeline 33 of the gas supply device 1. The first gas diversion valve diverts the various gases from the gas supply device 1 accordingly. The first gas diversion valve includes at least three diversion valve ports and one collection port; that is, the first gas diversion valve includes at least a helium valve port, a nitrogen valve port, and an oxygen valve port. The gases passing through each of the helium, nitrogen, and oxygen valve ports are finally collected at the collection port. Specifically, the helium delivery pipeline 23 is connected to the helium valve port of the first gas diversion valve to deliver helium from multiple helium supply cylinders 21 to the gas collection chamber 51 via the helium delivery pipeline 23, the helium valve port of the first gas diversion valve, and the collection port. The nitrogen delivery pipeline 43 is connected to the nitrogen valve port of the first gas diversion valve to deliver nitrogen from multiple nitrogen supply cylinders 41 to the gas collection chamber 51 via the nitrogen delivery pipeline 43, the nitrogen valve port of the first gas diversion valve, and the collection port. The oxygen delivery pipeline 33 is connected to the oxygen valve port of the first gas diversion valve to deliver oxygen from multiple oxygen supply cylinders 31 to the gas collection chamber 51 via the oxygen delivery pipeline 33, the oxygen valve port of the first gas diversion valve, and the collection port.
[0055] A first gas flow control valve 52 is installed on a first gas diversion valve. The first gas flow control valve 52 is connected to the pressure sensing component and is used to adjust the proportions of various gases in the first gas diversion valve based on the pressure sensed by the pressure sensing component. The adjusted gases are then mixed and delivered to the gas collection chamber 51. The diving operation pressure sensed by the pressure sensing component and the adjustment of the proportions of various gases in the first gas diversion valve by the first gas flow control valve 52 can be obtained through extensive experimental data. That is, different diving operation pressures correspond to different proportions of helium, oxygen, and nitrogen, thus allowing for the mixing of gases with different proportions. In one example, the pressure sensing component is located outside the housing, allowing direct sensing of the diving operation pressure. Alternatively, the pressure sensing component can be connected to a pressure sensing device in the diving operation environment to indirectly obtain the diving operation pressure. In one example, the first gas flow control valve 52 is installed at the helium, nitrogen, and oxygen ports of the first gas diversion valve to precisely control the mixing proportions of helium, nitrogen, and oxygen at the helium, nitrogen, and oxygen ports.
[0056] In this embodiment, the mixing ratio control device 5 also includes a control panel, which is located outside the housing. The control panel is used to control the first gas flow control valve 52 to adjust the ratio of various gases in the first gas diversion valve, and to display the ratio parameters of various gases in the first gas diversion valve, so that the operator can clearly know the ratio of various gases in the mixed gas. At the same time, the first gas flow control valve 52 can be manually controlled through the control panel to adjust the ratio of various gases in the first gas diversion valve. In the event of a malfunction in the gas mixing device (briefly described), it will switch to manual control mode to ensure accurate gas composition and pressure, achieve continuous gas supply, and ensure gas safety.
[0057] The first mixed gas output pipeline 53 is connected to the output end of the gas collection chamber 51 and the mixed gas storage device 6, and is used to transport the mixed gas in the gas collection chamber 51 to the mixed gas storage device 6.
[0058] In this embodiment, the mixed gas storage device 6 includes: multiple gas storage tanks 61, a second gas diversion valve, a second mixed gas output pipeline 62, a second gas flow control valve 63, and a distribution assembly 7. The multiple gas storage tanks 61 are disposed inside a housing and located below the gas collection chamber 51. The first mixed gas output pipeline 53 connects the output end of the gas collection chamber 51 to the multiple gas storage tanks 61. The second gas diversion valve is located at the end of the first mixed gas output pipeline 53 near the output end of the gas collection chamber 51, and is used to divert the mixed gas at the output end of the gas collection chamber 51. In one example, the second gas diversion valve diverts the same mixed gas in the gas collection chamber 51 to each of the gas storage tanks 61, so that the mixed gas in each of the gas storage tanks 61 is the same as the mixed gas in the gas collection chamber 51. This gas diversion method can meet the gas consumption requirements in the same diving operation environment. In another example, the second gas diversion valve diverts each type of mixed gas in the gas collection chamber 51 to a corresponding gas storage tank 61, so that each gas storage tank 61 contains one type of mixed gas. This gas diversion method can meet the gas consumption requirements in different diving operation environments.
[0059] The second mixed gas output line 62 is connected to the output ends of multiple gas storage tanks 61 and the distribution assembly 7 to deliver the mixed gas from each gas storage tank 61 to the distribution assembly 7. In one example, the distribution assembly 7 includes a buffer chamber 71, a distribution line 72, and multiple connecting valves 73. The buffer chamber 71 is connected to the output ends of the multiple gas storage tanks 61 via the second mixed gas output line 62, and can be used to buffer and store the mixed gas. The distribution line 72 is connected to the buffer chamber 71, and the multiple connecting valves 73 are connected to the end of the distribution line 72 for connecting external devices. External devices may include, for example, breathing masks.
[0060] The second gas flow control valve 63 is installed on the second mixed gas output pipeline 62 and is used to control the flow rate of the mixed gas output by the second mixed gas output pipeline 62.
[0061] This application provides a gas mixing device for high-pressure environments, comprising: a housing, a gas supply device 1, a mixing ratio control device 5 disposed within the housing, and a gas mixing storage device 6. The gas supply device 1 provides helium, oxygen, and nitrogen. The mixing ratio control device 5 is connected to the gas supply device 1 and the gas mixing storage device 6. The mixing ratio control device 5 automatically adjusts the proportions of the helium, oxygen, and nitrogen supplied by the gas supply device 1 according to the pressure value of the diving operation, mixes the adjusted gases to form a gas mixture, and delivers it to the gas mixing storage device 6. The gas mixing storage device 6 distributes the gas mixture according to the specified ratio.
[0062] This application can be understood as follows: It provides helium, oxygen, and nitrogen through a gas supply device 1 to meet the gas requirements of diving operations. A mixing ratio control device 5 automatically adjusts the proportions of the helium, oxygen, and nitrogen supplied by the gas supply device 1 according to the diving operation pressure, and then mixes the adjusted gases to form a mixed gas. The automatic adjustment of the helium, oxygen, and nitrogen proportions according to the diving operation pressure significantly shortens decompression time, and the proportions of helium, oxygen, and nitrogen are adjusted in real time according to the diving operation pressure, thus meeting the needs of different diving operation environments and improving the operation time and efficiency of diving operations. Furthermore, the gas supply device 1, the mixing ratio control device 5 housed in the enclosure, and the mixed gas storage device 6 provided in this application have a small number of components and a relatively simple structure, thus significantly reducing costs when applied to diving operations.
