[0028] The following is combined Figures 1-2 This invention describes a personnel decontamination device.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a personnel decontamination device includes a water supply unit 110, a heater 120, a temperature regulating tank 130, a mixing valve 140, and a shower pipe 150. The water supply unit 110 stores and provides clean water. The heater 120 is connected to a branch outlet of the water supply unit 110 and heats the water passing through it to a preset temperature. The heater is a diesel heater. The temperature regulating tank 130 is connected to the outlet of the heater and stores the water heated by the heater 120. The temperature regulating tank 130 has a water temperature sensor (not shown) for detecting the water temperature and feeding it back to the heater 130. The heater 130 adjusts its heating power based on the water temperature feedback from the water temperature sensor. The mixing valve 140 has two inlet branches, one connected to the thermostat tank 130 and the other to the water supply equipment 110. The inlet branch connected to the water supply equipment 110 is used to obtain cold water, and the inlet branch connected to the thermostat tank 130 is used to obtain hot water. The mixing valve 140 mixes the cold and hot water and then delivers it through the shower pipe 150. The shower pipe 150 is connected to the outlet of the mixing valve 140 and is used to provide hot water at a suitable temperature for decontamination personnel.

[0030] In this embodiment of the personnel decontamination device, the water supply equipment 110 has two water streams. One stream is heated by the heater 120 and then enters the temperature regulating tank 130. The heater 120 adjusts its heat according to the water temperature in the temperature regulating tank 130, and then the water flows out of the temperature regulating tank 130 and into the hot water inlet of the mixing valve 140. The other stream enters the cold water inlet of the mixing valve 140. The mixing valve 140 automatically adjusts the flow rate of hot and cold water according to the set water temperature and outputs warm water to the shower pipe 150, thereby providing hot water at a suitable temperature for decontamination personnel, thus achieving instant hot water supply without the need to preheat the water to the operating temperature.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the water supply device 110 includes a water tank 112 and a water pump 114. The inlet of the water pump 114 is connected to the water tank 112, and the two outlet branches of the water pump 114 are respectively connected to a heater 120 and a mixing valve 140. The water pump 114 is used to draw water from the water tank 112 and output it after pressurization. The personnel decontamination device in this embodiment also includes a first pressure regulating valve 160, a second pressure regulating valve 170, a pressure relief valve 180, a gear pump 190, and a decontamination agent tank 200. The first pressure regulating valve 160 is connected between the water pump 114 and the mixing valve 140 and is used to regulate the water pressure entering the mixing valve 140 from the water pump 114. The second pressure regulating valve 170 is connected between the heater 120 and the temperature regulating tank 130 and is used to regulate the water pressure entering the temperature regulating tank 130 from the heater 120. The pressure relief valve 180 is installed between the temperature control tank 130 and the water tank 112 to release the pressure of the hot water in the temperature control tank 130 and return it to the water tank 112.

[0032] In this embodiment, the shower piping 150 includes a shower rack clean water piping 152 and a shower rack detergent piping 154. The inlets of the shower rack clean water piping and the shower rack detergent piping are respectively connected to the outlet of the mixing valve. The suction pipe of the gear pump 190 is inserted into the detergent tank 200, and its outlet is connected to the shower rack detergent piping 154.

[0033] In this embodiment of the personnel decontamination device, water is pressurized by water pump 114 and then split into two streams. One stream is heated by heater 120 and enters temperature regulating tank 130. Heater 130 adjusts its heat according to the water temperature in temperature regulating tank 130, and then the water flows out of temperature regulating tank 130 and into the hot water inlet of mixing valve 140. The other stream is pressurized and enters the cold water inlet of mixing valve 140. Mixing valve 140 automatically adjusts the flow rate of hot and cold water according to the set water temperature and outputs warm water to the shower rack clean water pipeline 152 and the shower rack chemical pipeline 154. Gear pump 190 injects chemical agents into the shower rack chemical pipeline 154 according to a ratio, and then the personnel are decontaminated through the shower head on the shower rack. It should be noted that on each connecting pipeline of this utility model, a switch valve or pressure regulating valve can be installed as needed to adjust the flow rate or pressure.

[0034] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0035] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
