Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically to a safety inflatable connection device. Background Technology
[0002] Air mattresses in medical devices typically require connection to a high-pressure air source within the hospital's central air supply system. A pressure-reducing valve regulates the high-pressure gas to a safe pressure before delivering it to the air mattress. However, in practice, the pressure-reducing valve may fail due to mechanical malfunctions or component aging, allowing high-pressure air to directly enter the lower oil line. If the air source is not promptly cut off and pressure is not released, excessively high pressure can damage the air mattress and endanger patient safety. Current technologies often employ a single pressure-relief valve that automatically releases pressure when a threshold is exceeded. However, simple pressure relief cannot cut off the high-pressure source, and continuous air input leads to insufficient pressure relief efficiency, preventing the pressure from quickly decreasing to a safe range. This paper proposes a safe inflation connection device to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0029] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a safety inflation connection device, comprising an air source plug 1, a spring tube 2 connected to the air source plug 1, and a safety pressure reducing device 3 connected to the spring tube 2. The safety pressure reducing device 3 includes an air inlet pipe 31, an air outlet pipe 32, a pressure reducing valve 33, a safety mechanism 34, and a pressure gauge 35. The safety mechanism 34 includes:
[0031] The pressure relief assembly 36 includes a pressure sensing chamber 361, a sensing piston 362 movably disposed in the pressure sensing chamber 361, a first elastic reset member 363 connecting the sensing piston 362 and the pressure sensing chamber 361, and a pressure relief pipe 364 disposed on the pressure sensing chamber 361.
[0032] The cut-off assembly 37 includes a linkage structure 371, a cylindrical plug 372, and a cylindrical cavity 373 disposed on the intake pipe 31;
[0033] Locking component 38;
[0034] Manually unlock component 39.
[0035] The gas source plug 1 connects to the hospital's high-pressure gas source. The high-pressure gas source enters the safety pressure reducing device 3 through the spring tube 2. After being reduced in pressure by the pressure reducing valve 33, it enters the air mattress through the air outlet pipe 32 for inflation. When the pressure reducing valve 33 fails, high-pressure air enters the outlet pipe 32. The air pressure is greater than the pulling force of the first elastic reset member 363, pushing the sensing piston 362 to move out of the pressure sensing chamber 361. During the movement, the inlet of the pressure relief pipe 364 is opened, connecting the pressure relief pipe 364 with the outlet pipe 32, and the high-pressure air is discharged through the pressure relief pipe 364. At the same time, the sensing piston 362 controls the cylindrical plug 372 to move into the cylindrical cavity 373 through the linkage structure 371, cutting off the input of high-pressure air. The locking component 38 temporarily fixes the cylindrical plug 372 in the cylindrical cavity 373. When the medical staff determines that inflation can continue, the manual unlocking component 39 is used to unlock the cylindrical plug 372, the air pressure in the outlet pipe 32 decreases, and the sensing piston 362 is reset under the action of the first elastic reset member 363, disconnecting the pressure relief pipe 364 from the outlet pipe 32. At the same time, the cylindrical plug 372 is pulled out of the cylindrical cavity 373 through the linkage structure 371, and the high-pressure air source can be input. Using the inflation connection device with the above structure, high-pressure air can be rapidly released and the air inlet pipe 31 can be completely blocked simultaneously when the pressure reducing valve 33 fails. This avoids the risk of pressure residue or continuous air supply caused by single pressure release or single cut-off. The high-pressure air provides pressure to push the cylindrical plug 372 into the cylindrical cavity 373. The greater the pressure, the greater the thrust and the better the cut-off effect, fundamentally solving the defects of incomplete pressure release and delayed response in the prior art. The locking component 38 can prevent the automatic reset of the sensing piston 362 due to pressure reduction. The manual unlocking component 39 requires active operation by medical personnel to restore the air supply, which forces a safety check after fault diagnosis, avoids safety hazards, and makes the device safer.
[0036] Specifically, the linkage structure 371 includes a first connecting rod 374 hinged to the sensing piston 362, a lever 375 hinged to the first connecting rod 374, a second connecting rod 376 hinged to the lever 375, and a locking rod 377 hinged to the second connecting rod 376; the locking rod 377 is fixedly connected to the cylindrical plug 372.
[0037] When the sensing piston 362 moves out of the pressure sensing chamber 361, it drives the first connecting rod 374 to move, which in turn drives the second connecting rod 376 to move via the lever 375. This, in turn, drives the cylindrical plug 372 to move into the cylindrical cavity 373, cutting off the high-pressure air source. Specifically, the lever 375 is an unequal-arm lever, and its fulcrum is closer to the first connecting rod 374, so that the moving distance of the cylindrical plug 372 is greater than the moving distance of the sensing piston 362, ensuring that the cylindrical plug 372 can move completely into the cylindrical cavity 373 and cut off the high-pressure air source.
[0038] Specifically, the locking assembly 38 includes a guide rod 381 disposed on the inner wall of the safety pressure relief device 3, a second elastic reset member 382 connected to the guide rod 381, and an arc-shaped locking member 383 disposed at the end of the guide rod 381; the diameter of the arc-shaped locking member 383 is equal to the diameter of the locking rod 377.
[0039] When the cylindrical plug 372 is fully inserted into the cylindrical cavity 373, the guide rod 381 moves towards the cylindrical plug 372 under the action of the second elastic reset member 382, so that the arc-shaped locking member 383 engages with the locking rod 377, preventing the pressure of the air outlet pipe 32 from decreasing, the sensing piston 362 resets, the cylindrical plug 372 resets, causing high-pressure air to re-enter the failed pressure reducing valve 33, thereby improving the safety of use.
[0040] Specifically, the manual unlocking component 39 includes an unlocking component 391, a triangular block 392 disposed at one end of the unlocking component 391, and a third elastic reset component 393 connected to the unlocking component 391; the guide rod 381 is provided with a triangular guide groove 394 that cooperates with the triangular block 392.
[0041] After the medical staff eliminates the safety hazard, they press down on the unlocking piece 391, causing the triangular block 392 to enter the triangular guide groove 394, which drives the guide rod 381 to move in the opposite direction, unlocking the arc-shaped lock piece 383 and the lock rod 377. The pressure in the air outlet pipe 32 is less than the pulling force of the third elastic reset key, the sensing piston 362 resets, and pulls the cylindrical plug 372 out of the cylindrical cavity 373, allowing air to be released again.
[0042] Specifically, the diameter of the cylindrical plug 372 is larger than the diameter of the intake pipe 31, and the depth of the cylindrical cavity 373 is larger than the diameter of the intake pipe 31.
[0043] The depths of both the cylindrical plug 372 and the cylindrical cavity 373 are greater than the diameter of the intake pipe 31, thus completely eliminating the risk of high-pressure air leakage.
[0044] Specifically, the inlet of the pressure relief pipe 364 is located on the side wall of the pressure sensing chamber 361.
[0045] The inlet of the pressure relief pipe 364 is located on the side wall of the pressure sensing chamber 361. When the device is operating normally, the sensing piston 362 cuts off the pressure relief pipe 364 from the air outlet pipe 32. When the pressure reducing valve 33 fails, the linkage control between the inlet of the pressure relief pipe 364 and the sensing piston 362 enables rapid response and precise opening and closing of the pressure relief action.
[0046] In summary, this utility model effectively solves the problems of incomplete pressure relief and high safety risks in the prior art through the linkage and dual safety mechanism of the pressure relief component 36 and the cut-off component 37.
