Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of laboratory eyewash stations, specifically relating to a flip-type eyewash station. Background Technology
[0002] Laboratory eyewash stations are safety and rescue equipment used in laboratories. When laboratory staff are accidentally injured by acidic, alkaline, or other harmful substances, they can use laboratory eyewash stations to perform emergency rinsing of the eyes, face, or whole body to reduce the concentration of harmful substances, minimize their damage to the eyes and skin, and buy valuable time for subsequent medical treatment.
[0003] Chinese patent CN219062532U discloses a flip-type double-outlet faucet. Its structure includes a base, an inlet pipe fixedly connected to the base, and outlet pipes respectively located at both ends of the base. The outlet pipes are equipped with switches. A connecting pipe connects the base and the outlet pipes. The inlet pipe, base, connecting pipe, and outlet pipes are sequentially connected. One end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the inlet end of the outlet pipe, and the other end is rotatably connected to the base. A sealing element is provided between the connecting pipe and the base. A limiting spring is fitted onto the connecting pipe. A fixing nut is threaded onto the end of the base connected to the connecting pipe. The limiting spring is pressed between the end face of the base and the fixing nut. The flip-type faucet allows for the flipping of a single outlet pipe through the rotatable cooperation of the connecting pipe and the base. The structure is simple and the flipping is reliable. The fixing nut ensures the stability of the flipped outlet pipe, preventing displacement. Multiple sealing rings on the connecting pipe provide a good sealing effect, reducing leakage during the flipping process.
[0004] Specifically, since eyewash stations are devices specifically designed for cleaning the eyes of laboratory personnel, their water quality requirements are extremely stringent. However, the existing dual-outlet faucets disclosed in the aforementioned technology employ a single filter structure. This structure has significant limitations in filtration effectiveness, resulting in filtered water that falls far short of the safety standards for direct use in rinsing the eyes of laboratory personnel. Therefore, this deficiency directly affects the effectiveness and safety of the eyewash station, potentially posing risks to the eye health of laboratory personnel, thereby impacting the smooth progress of experimental procedures and the overall safety and health of the personnel.
