[0037] As described in the background, the prior art anaerobic workstation has the problem of long aeration time and large gas consumption. Based on this, the present application provides an aeration device for an anaerobic workstation to solve the above problems.
[0038] Next, the embodiments of the present application are introduced:
[0039] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an aeration device for an anaerobic workstation provided by the embodiments of the present application, which comprises:
[0040] An air inlet pipe 11 is arranged at the bottom of one side of the box 14 of the anaerobic workstation; a plurality of air outlets 15 in the form of air holes are distributed on the air inlet pipe 11; the interface of the air inlet pipe 11 is connected to a mixed gas source 16, for filling the gas from the mixed gas source 16 into the box 14 through the air outlets 15;
[0041] An air outlet pipe 12 is arranged at the top of the opposite side of the box 14; a plurality of air outlets 17 in the form of air holes are distributed on the air outlet pipe 12;
[0042] An air outlet centrifugal fan 13 is arranged above the air outlet pipe 12; the air inlet of the air outlet centrifugal fan 13 is connected to an air outlet damper 18 of the air outlet pipe 12, for sucking the gas in the box 14 into the fan through the air outlets 17 and discharging the gas out of the box 14.
[0043] The above aeration device adopts a reasonable layout of air inlet and outlet pipes, a plurality of air outlets in the form of air holes are arranged on the air inlet pipe, and a plurality of air outlets in the form of air holes are arranged on the air outlet pipe. In this way, during aeration, the gas in the mixed gas source will enter the box through the air outlets, and the original gas in the box will be sucked into the fan through the air outlets and the air outlet damper, and then discharged out of the box.
[0044] The design principle of this device is shown in Figure 2 , wherein, Figure 2The left graph of FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the ventilation efficiency of the prior art ventilation device with a single inlet and a single outlet, and the right graph of FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the ventilation efficiency of the ventilation device of the present embodiment (for example, the ventilation device has four gas outlets on the inlet pipeline and four exhaust outlets on the exhaust pipeline). The arrow direction represents the theoretical gas flow direction, and the shaded area represents the theoretical ventilation area, i.e., the remaining area is the area that cannot be ventilated. The ventilation efficiency can be determined based on the ratio of the ventilation area to the remaining area, and the ventilation efficiency of the ventilation device of the present embodiment is Figure 2 Therefore, the ventilation device of the present embodiment can effectively improve the ventilation efficiency, thereby solving the problems of long ventilation time and large gas consumption of the anaerobic workstation in the prior art.
[0045] Specifically, in the ventilation device, the installation position of the inlet pipeline can be set according to the installation position of the mixed gas source. For example, when the mixed gas source of the anaerobic workstation is arranged on the right side of the box, the inlet pipeline can be arranged at the bottom of the right side of the box, i.e., the lower right side of the box, and correspondingly, the exhaust pipeline can be arranged at the bottom of the left side of the box, i.e., the upper left side of the box. The box is the core component of the anaerobic workstation, which is an anaerobic bacteria culture chamber and also an operation chamber for experiment operation of an operator. When the inlet pipeline is installed in the box, a hole can be opened at the corresponding position, the size of the hole is consistent with the size of the interface of the inlet pipeline, and a sealing device such as a sealing ring is used to prevent gas leakage in the box. Similarly, when the exhaust pipeline is installed in the box, a hole can be opened at the corresponding position, the size of the hole is consistent with the size of the exhaust damper of the exhaust pipeline, and a sealing device such as a sealing ring is used to prevent gas leakage in the box. The mixed gas source can be regarded as a gas supply system of the anaerobic workstation, which can be composed of a hydrogen gas tank, an oxygen gas tank and a nitrogen gas tank. During ventilation, the inlet electromagnetic valve of the mixed gas source is opened to fill high-pressure gas into the box, thereby creating an oxygen-free environment. The interface of the inlet pipeline connected to the mixed gas source can be arranged as an electric ventilation damper. During ventilation, the ventilation damper is opened, and after ventilation is completed, the ventilation damper is closed.
[0046] The gas outlets on the inlet pipeline can be installed by opening holes on the inlet pipeline and using appropriate connecting elements such as glue, threaded connection, flange connection, etc. In some embodiments, the number of gas outlets on the inlet pipeline is greater than or equal to 4. Insufficient number of gas outlets can limit the flow of gas, resulting in insufficient exchange of gas in the box and affecting the ventilation efficiency. Therefore, arranging at least 4 gas outlets on the inlet pipeline can improve the ventilation efficiency. In implementation, the specific number of gas outlets can be set according to the size of the positive and negative pressure of the box, the ventilation volume and the area of the box. For example, for a conventional size workstation, the number of gas outlets on the inlet pipeline can be set to 4, and for a large size workstation, the number of gas outlets on the inlet pipeline can be set to 8.
[0047] The diameter of the air outlet also affects the performance of the ventilation device. When the diameter of the air outlet is too large, the air flow in some areas may be too strong, while the air flow in other areas may be insufficient, thereby affecting the uniformity and stability of the gas in the workstation. When the diameter of the air outlet is too small, the flow of the gas will be severely restricted, thereby causing the ventilation efficiency to drop sharply. Therefore, in some embodiments, the diameter of the air outlet ranges from 1 mm to 5 mm. By setting the appropriate size of the air outlet, it is ensured that the system can meet the needs of the working environment and maintain good performance. In addition, the specific diameter of the air outlet can also be set according to the size of the positive and negative pressure of the box, the ventilation volume, and the area of the box. For example, for a small-sized workstation, the diameter of the air outlet can be set to 1 mm, and for a large-sized workstation, the diameter of the air outlet can be set to 5 mm.
[0048] Considering that when installing the air outlet, if the air outlet is directly opposite the top plate or side plate of the box, it is easy to produce the effect of adhesion to the wall, which is not conducive to ventilation. Therefore, in some embodiments, the angle between the air outlet and the installation surface of the air inlet pipeline is 45°. By setting the appropriate angle of the air hole, it is ensured that the gas is uniformly distributed in the workstation, thereby improving the ventilation efficiency.
[0049] In the above-mentioned ventilation device, the exhaust pipeline and the exhaust centrifugal fan cooperate to exhaust the original gas in the box to the outside of the box. The exhaust pipeline is provided with a plurality of exhaust outlets on one side, and an exhaust air door connected to the air inlet of the exhaust centrifugal fan on the other side. The exhaust air door here can be an electric air door, which can be opened and closed through remote control or automatic control. During ventilation, the exhaust air door is opened, and during non-ventilation, the exhaust air door is closed. The exhaust outlet can be set in the same way as the air outlet, that is:
[0050] Alternatively, the number of exhaust outlets on the exhaust pipeline can be greater than or equal to 4.
[0051] Alternatively, the diameter of the exhaust outlet can range from 1 mm to 5 mm.
[0052] Alternatively, the angle between the exhaust outlet and the installation surface of the exhaust pipeline can be 45°.
[0053] In addition, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned ventilation device can further include a differential pressure sensor arranged on the side plate of the box for detecting the positive and negative pressure of the box. The positive and negative pressure here refers to the relative relationship between the gas pressure inside the box and the atmospheric pressure outside. The differential pressure sensor can monitor the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the workstation in real time. Through the feedback of the pressure information, the operator can understand the working efficiency of the ventilation device and make adjustments according to the actual situation, thereby optimizing the ventilation process and ensuring the efficient, safe and stable operation of the anaerobic workstation.
[0054] In some embodiments, the ventilation device described above can further comprise: a hydrogen sensor arranged at the top of the box for detecting the hydrogen concentration in the box; and an oxygen sensor arranged at the top of the box for detecting the oxygen concentration in the box. That is, the hydrogen sensor and the oxygen sensor are arranged in the box of the anaerobic workstation to detect the hydrogen concentration and the oxygen concentration in the box, respectively, so as to realize real-time monitoring and accurate control of the gas concentration in the workstation, and the operator can accurately grasp the ventilation progress. Moreover, the hydrogen sensor can monitor the hydrogen concentration in real time, and the operator can take measures in time, such as closing the hydrogen source and starting the ventilation system, before the hydrogen concentration reaches a dangerous level, so as to prevent the hydrogen concentration from continuing to rise and causing a safety accident.
[0055] The embodiment of the present application provides a ventilation device of an anaerobic workstation, which comprises an air inlet pipeline arranged at the bottom of one side of the box, an air outlet pipeline arranged at the top of the opposite side of the box, and an air outlet centrifugal fan arranged above the air outlet pipeline, wherein a plurality of gas hole-shaped air outlets are arranged on the air inlet pipeline, and a plurality of gas hole-shaped air outlets are arranged on the air outlet pipeline. When the anaerobic workstation is ventilated, the gas in the mixed gas source enters the box through the air outlets of the air inlet pipeline, and the original gas in the box is sucked into the fan through the air outlets of the air outlet pipeline and the air outlet damper, and then is discharged out of the box. In this way, by means of the gas holes distributed on the upper and lower opposite sides of the box, the high-pressure gas is injected and the original air in the box is extracted, the original air in the box is uniformly pushed out of the air outlet by the added high-pressure gas, the high-oxygen gas in the original box can be efficiently replaced, and the ventilation time is effectively shortened and the gas consumption is reduced.
