[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-6 .

[0019] Example 1

[0020] An air shower for cleanrooms includes an air shower body 2. An outer door 8 and an inner door 1 are rotatably installed at both ends of the air shower body 2. An air shower mechanism 10 is installed on the air shower body 2. The air shower mechanism 10 is an existing structure and will not be described in detail here. One side of the inner door 2 is used to connect to the cleanroom, dust-free workshop, etc. A locking mechanism is provided between the outer door 8 and the inner door 2. The locking mechanism is used to restrict the opening of the inner door 2 when the outer door 8 is opened, preventing the outer door 8 and the inner door 2 from opening at the same time. For example, when using the air shower, the outer door 8 may be forgotten to be closed or not closed tightly. In this case, the locking mechanism can prevent personnel from directly entering the cleanroom after cleaning.

[0021] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a slot 4 formed at the bottom of the air shower body 2. The slot 4 passes through the front and rear ends of the air shower body 2, and a sliding plate 7 is horizontally slidably provided in the slot 4. A first spring 15 is fixed between one side of the sliding plate 7 and the inner wall of the slot 4, and the sliding plate 7 can slide in the left and right directions in the slot 4. A cam 5 is fixed at the lower end of the pivot 6 of the outer door 8. The side of the cam 5 maintains sliding contact with the side of the sliding plate 7. An L-shaped limiting groove 14 is provided at the lower end of the inner door 2 near the sliding plate 7. A limiting plate 13 perpendicular to the sliding plate 7 is fixed at the end of the sliding plate 7 near the inner door 2.

[0022] The locking mechanism is specifically configured as follows:

[0023] When the outer door 2 is opened, the cam 5 is driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 6. When the cam 5 rotates, it pushes the sliding plate 7 to move, so that the limiting plate 13 of the sliding plate 7 slides into the L-shaped limiting groove 14.

[0024] With the above structure, when the outer door 8 is in the open state, the protruding surface of the cam 5 will press against the side of the sliding plate 7, causing the sliding plate 7 to move to the right, which will drive the limiting plate 13 to be inserted into the L-shaped limiting groove 14 of the inner door 2, thereby restricting the opening of the inner door 2.

[0025] An outer door lock 9 is installed on the outer surface of the outer door 8, and an inner door lock 12 is installed on the inner surface of the inner door 1.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] The structure of Embodiment 2 is roughly the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference is that, based on Embodiment 1, the air shower body 2 is provided with a fixing mechanism for fixing the outer door 8. The fixing mechanism is used to restrict the opening of the outer door 8 when there are people inside the air shower body 2. For example, when people inside the air shower body 2 open the inner door 1 to prepare to enter the clean room, the outer door 8 may open, causing the clean room to connect with the external environment.

[0028] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes a support plate 11 that is vertically slidably disposed at the bottom of the air shower body 2. A second spring 16 is connected between the support plate 11 and the bottom of the air shower body 2. An L-shaped fixing hook 17 is fixed on the bottom of the support plate 11 near the outer door 8. The bottom of the fixing hook 17 has a sloping structure. A movable hook 18 corresponding to the fixing hook 17 is vertically slidably disposed on the inner surface of the bottom of the outer door 8. A third spring 19 is connected between the movable hook 18 and the outer door 8.

[0029] With the fixed mechanism in place, when personnel enter the air shower, the bearing plate 11 will move downward under the action of gravity and squeeze the second spring 16. In this case, when the outer door 8 is closed, the movable hook 18 will hook back onto the fixed hook 17, making the outer door 8 unable to open. When personnel in the air shower open the inner door 1 and enter the clean room, the bearing plate 11 will move upward and reset under the elastic force of the second spring 16, allowing the outer door 8 to open normally.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the lower end of the air shower body 2 is provided with a movable groove 20, and the support plate 11 is movably installed in the movable groove 20. The inner wall of the movable groove 20 is provided with a groove 21, and the side of the support plate 11 is provided with a protrusion. The protrusion is slidably disposed in the groove 21, and the range of motion of the support plate 11 in the air shower body 2 is limited to 1-2 cm.

[0031] In summary, this utility model, through the design of a locking mechanism, effectively restricts the opening of the inner door 1 when the outer door 8 is open, preventing external dust and contaminants from entering the cleanroom or dust-free workshop, thereby ensuring the air cleanliness and product quality within the clean area. In Embodiment Two, a fixing mechanism is added to restrict the opening of the outer door 8 when someone is inside the air shower, preventing the outer door 8 from being accidentally opened during the air shower process or before personnel have fully entered the clean area, further improving the safety of the air shower.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
