[0041] Example
[0042] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, a smart detector for compressed oxygen self-rescue devices is proposed, which will be referred to as a smart detector for ease of description.
[0043] The compressed oxygen self-rescue device includes an air bag 10 and an air cylinder 20. For the specific structure and working principle of the compressed oxygen self-rescue device, please refer to existing technologies; details will not be elaborated here.
[0044] The intelligent detector includes a first connector 110, a second connector 120, a buffer chamber 130, an air pumping module 140, an air pressure detection module 150, a flow detection module 160, and a control module 170.
[0045] The first connector 110 is used to connect to the airbag 10. When connecting the first connector 110 to the airbag 10, it is necessary to ensure the airtightness of the connection between the two to avoid air leakage.
[0046] The second connector 120 is used to connect to the gas cylinder 20. When connecting the second connector 120 to the gas cylinder 20, it is necessary to ensure the airtightness of the connection to avoid leakage.
[0047] The buffer chamber 130 is used to buffer the airflow to balance the air pressure inside the airbag 10.
[0048] The air-inflation module 140 is connected to the first connector 110 via the buffer chamber 130. The air-inflation module 140 is used to deflate or inflate the airbag 10. When the air-inflation module 140 deflates or inflates the airbag 10, the airflow flows through the buffer chamber 130. The buffer chamber 130 buffers the airflow, thereby balancing the air pressure inside the airbag 10 and preventing excessive instantaneous changes in air pressure inside the airbag 10, which could lead to severe deformation of the airbag 10, damage to the airbag 10, and testing errors.
[0049] The air pressure detection module 150 is used to detect the air pressure inside the buffer chamber 130. After the first connector 110 is sealed and connected to the airbag 10, the airbag 10 and the buffer chamber 130 are connected. When the airbag 10 is deflated or inflated by the inflation / deflation module 140, the air pressure inside the airbag 10 and the buffer chamber 130 will be consistent. At this time, the air pressure inside the airbag 10 can be determined by the air pressure detected by the air pressure detection module 150. Thus, it is not necessary to install the air pressure detection module 150 inside the airbag 10, which facilitates the installation of the airbag 10. The air pressure detection module 150 includes an air pressure sensor.
[0050] The flow detection module 160 is connected to the second connector 120, and is used to detect the exhaust volume of the gas cylinder 20. The flow detection module 160 includes a gas flow meter, etc.
[0051] The control module 170 is used to send and receive signals and process data. The inflation / inflation module 140, the air pressure detection module 150, and the flow detection module 160 are all communicatively connected to the control module 170. The control module 170 includes a circuit board and a microprocessor, or the control module 170 includes a microcontroller, etc.
[0052] In this embodiment, the intelligent detector can detect the following items:
[0053] Positive pressure air tightness test: Disassemble the gas cylinder 20 and the air bag 10, and connect the first connector 110 to the air inlet of the air bag 10. Inflate the air bag 10 with a certain amount of gas through the inflation module 140, and then detect the change in air pressure in the buffer chamber 130 within a preset time through the air pressure detection module 150. In this way, the positive pressure air tightness of the air bag 10 can be tested.
[0054] Negative pressure air tightness test: Disassemble the gas cylinder 20 and the air bag 10, and connect the first connector 110 to the air inlet of the air bag 10. Use the air pumping module 140 to pump out the gas in the air bag 10, and then use the air pressure detection module 150 to detect the change in air pressure in the buffer chamber 130 within a preset time. This will enable the negative pressure air tightness test of the air bag 10.
[0055] Quantitative oxygen supply detection: Disassemble the gas cylinder 20 and the air bag 10, and connect the second connector 120 to the pressure reducing valve of the gas cylinder 20. Turn the switch handwheel counterclockwise, and the high-pressure oxygen in the gas cylinder 20 flows to the flow detection module 160 through the pressure reducing valve and the second connector 120. Therefore, the quantitative oxygen supply can be detected by the flow detection module 160.
[0056] Manual oxygen supply detection: Disassemble the gas cylinder 20 and the air bag 10, connect the second connector 120 to the gas cylinder 20, manually press the manual supply valve on the gas cylinder 20, and the manual oxygen supply can be detected through the flow detection module 160.
[0057] Automatic replenishment valve opening pressure detection: When the gas cylinder 20 and the air bag 10 are assembled, connect the mouthpiece of the air bag 10 to the first connector 110, and evacuate the air bag 10 by installing a preset flow rate (e.g., 8L / min to 12L / min) through the air pumping module 140. The opening pressure of the automatic replenishment valve can be detected by the pressure gauge on the gas cylinder 20.
[0058] Therefore, this intelligent detector possesses multiple detection functions, enabling comprehensive testing of compressed oxygen self-rescue devices. Furthermore, the ability to perform tests on multiple items effectively improves testing efficiency.
[0059] In addition, the control module 170 integrates a software control system. This system processes and analyzes the detected data in real time, reducing the impact of human error on the results and ensuring their accuracy and reliability. This allows for the rapid completion of various tests on the compressed oxygen self-rescue device, and the automatic recording and analysis of the results, saving testing time and labor costs.
[0060] In this embodiment, the air-inflation module 140 includes an air-injection device 141, an inflation device 142, and a three-way connector 143. The air-injection device 141 is used to depress the airbag 10, and the inflation device 142 is used to inflate the airbag 10. Both the air-injection device 141 and the inflation device 142 are communicatively connected to the control module 170. At any given time, only one of the air-injection device 141 or the inflation device 142 can be in operation: when the air-injection device 141 is operating, the inflation device 142 is in a closed state; when the inflation device 142 is operating, the air-injection device 141 is in a closed state; or when both the air-injection device 141 and the inflation device 142 are in a closed state.
[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the tee connector 143 includes a first interface 1431, a second interface 1432, and a third interface 1433.
[0062] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air extraction device 141 is connected to the first interface 1431 of the three-way connector 143 via the air extraction pipe 1411; the air inflation device 142 is connected to the second interface 1432 of the three-way connector 143 via the air inflation pipe 1421; and the buffer chamber 130 is connected to the third interface 1433 of the three-way connector 143.
[0063] A first control valve 1412 is installed on the suction pipe 1411, and a second control valve 1422 is installed on the inflation pipe 1421. Both the first control valve 1412 and the second control valve 1422 are electrically connected to the control module 170. When the suction device 141 is started, the first control valve 1412 is open and the second control valve 1422 is closed. At this time, the suction pipe 1411 is in a conductive state, and the inflation pipe 1421 is in a cut-off state. When the inflation device 142 is started, the second control valve 1422 is open and the first control valve 1412 is closed. At this time, the inflation pipe 1421 is in a conductive state, and the suction pipe 1411 is in a cut-off state. When neither the suction device 141 nor the inflation device 142 is started, both the first control valve 1412 and the second control valve 1422 are closed. At this time, both the suction pipe 1411 and the inflation pipe 1421 are in a cut-off state.
[0064] The first control valve 1412 and the second solenoid valve 144 both include a solenoid valve 144. The relays of both the first control valve 1412 and the second solenoid valve 144 are electrically connected to the control module 170.
[0065] The vacuum device 141 and the inflation device 142 are arranged adjacent to each other and spaced apart. Both the vacuum device 141 and the inflation device 142 are equipped with shock-absorbing pads. When the vacuum device 141 or the inflation device 142 is in operation, the shock-absorbing pads can play a role in reducing vibration and noise.
[0066] Both the air extraction pipe 1411 and the air inflation pipe 1421 are flexible hoses, which facilitates installation.
[0067] In this embodiment, the intelligent detector for compressed oxygen self-rescue devices also includes a housing 181 and a panel 182. The housing 181 and the panel 182 are detachably connected, wherein a mounting cavity 183 is formed between the inner wall of the housing 181 and the panel 182. The housing 181 and the panel 182 can be detachably connected by means of screws, snap-fit connections, or other methods. The housing 181 and the panel 182 enable the installation and protection of related components, enhancing the stability of the instrument's operation.
[0068] The buffer chamber 130, the inflation / deflation module 140, the air pressure detection module 150, the flow detection module 160, and the control module 170 are all installed in the mounting cavity 183; the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 pass through the panel 182 and are at least partially located outside the mounting cavity 183, thereby facilitating connection with the airbag 10 and the air cylinder 20.
[0069] A human-machine interface module 184 is provided on the panel 182, and the human-machine interface module 184 is electrically connected to the control module 170. The human-machine interface module 184 includes one or more of the following: buttons, switches, display screens, or touch screens.
[0070] In this embodiment, the human-computer interaction module 184 may be a touch screen. Touch screens are easy to operate, allowing users to operate the system by touching the screen, thus eliminating the need for complex button operations.
[0071] The mounting cavity 183 is equipped with a power module 185, in which the inflation / inflation module 140, the air pressure detection module 150, the flow detection module 160, the control module 170, and the human-machine interaction module 184 are all electrically connected to the power module 185.
[0072] The power module 185 includes a DC voltage regulator module and a step-down module. The DC voltage regulator module can output 24V and 12V DC power to power the air pressure detection module 150, the air pumping device 141, the air filling device 142, the first control valve 1412, the second control valve 1422, and the step-down module, etc.; the step-down module can reduce the 12V voltage from the DC voltage regulator module to 5V voltage to power the display screen and the control module 170, etc.
[0073] In this embodiment, the intelligent detector for the compressed oxygen self-rescue device also includes a communication module 186, which enables information transmission between modules. The pressure detection module 150, flow detection module 160, and control module 170 are all electrically connected to the communication module 186. The communication module 186 may include an RS485 communication device, etc.
[0074] During the processes of positive pressure airtightness testing, negative pressure airtightness testing, exhaust valve opening pressure testing, exhaust valve reverse airtightness testing, and airtightness testing of the storage bag or automatic replenishment valve opening pressure testing: the air pressure detection module 150 converts the detected pressure signal into an electrical signal and processes the electrical signal; the processing result is transmitted to the control module 170 via the communication module 186, thereby obtaining the current air pressure value; by comparing it with the preset standard air pressure range, it can be determined whether the test result is qualified.
[0075] When performing relevant oxygen supply testing: the flow detection module 160 converts the detected flow signal into an electrical signal and processes the electrical signal; the processing result is transmitted to the control module 170 via the communication module 186, thereby obtaining the current flow value; by comparing it with the preset standard flow value, it can be determined whether the test result is qualified.
[0076] In this embodiment, the intelligent detector for the compressed oxygen self-rescue device also includes a tank 131, and a buffer chamber 130 is disposed inside the tank 131, wherein the buffer chamber 130 is spherical.
[0077] The tank 131 can be made of materials such as metal or plastic. When the volume of the tank 131 is fixed, the volume of the spherical buffer cavity 130 can be maximized compared to other shapes. Thus, when the volume of the spherical buffer cavity 130 is fixed, the volume of the tank 131 can be reduced as much as possible, thereby reducing the space occupied by the tank 131 and making the intelligent detector smaller.
[0078] The volume of the buffer chamber 130 is a fixed value. When evacuating or inflating, the buffer chamber 130 will not deform under the action of air pressure, thereby avoiding errors and affecting the accuracy of the test results.
[0079] The volume of the buffer chamber 130 is 1 to 4 L. If the volume of the buffer chamber 130 is too small, it will affect the buffering effect on the airflow; if it is too large, it will affect the efficiency of air extraction or inflation.
[0080] The general operating procedure for the intelligent detector of a compressed oxygen self-rescue device is as follows:
[0081] Test preparation: According to the required test function, select the air bag 10 or air cylinder 20 of the compressed oxygen self-rescue device to be tested and connect it to the corresponding connector, and ensure the connection is firm and sealed. Then, the intelligent tester can be powered on.

[0083] Start Testing: After selecting the testing items, click the "Start Testing" icon on the touchscreen, and the smart testing instrument will begin testing for that item.
[0084] The results show that after the test is completed, the corresponding test results and whether the test item is qualified will be displayed on the touch screen.
