Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of laboratory safety equipment technology, specifically relating to an emergency response system for hazardous chemical leaks in a chemical laboratory fume hood, which is particularly suitable for handling highly corrosive and toxic reagents in pharmaceutical companies and research institutes. Background Technology

[0002] A laboratory fume hood is a sealed workspace that also allows for ventilation. In most laboratories, fume hoods are the primary control equipment protecting laboratory operators from toxic and harmful chemicals. Simultaneously, even at their minimum operating height, fume hoods provide protection against sudden fires, explosions, and chemical splashes. A typical fume hood consists of a cabinet with a sliding door made of safety or tempered glass. All fume hoods operate on the principle of effectively controlling toxic and harmful substances. The relative negative pressure environment effectively prevents the diffusion of these substances, while fresh air enters the sealed interior through the sliding door at a steady speed. Appropriate face velocity plays a crucial role in the safe and efficient operation of a fume hood.

[0003] During the experiment, there were occasional instances of liquid spills onto the operating table. Toxic and harmful liquids can spread rapidly due to large-area spills. At this time, due to the low surface velocity, the diffusion area is located at the farthest point from the negative pressure vent at the top. Toxic and harmful liquids are highly likely to escape through the safety glass door, posing a great risk. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an emergency isolation system for hazardous chemical leaks in laboratory fume hoods. In the immediate event of a hazardous chemical leak, operators can quickly pull the funnel isolation hood to cover the spilled hazardous chemicals. Because the first end of the multi-section telescopic pipe is connected to the negative pressure chamber, and the end of the multi-section telescopic pipe is connected to the funnel isolation hood through a metal corrugated pipe, an effective negative pressure is formed inside the funnel isolation hood. The hazardous chemicals spilled on the work surface are isolated inside the funnel isolation hood, thereby effectively preventing the hazardous chemicals from escaping through the safety glass door.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an emergency isolation system for hazardous chemical leaks inside a laboratory fume hood. The system comprises a fume hood with an operating table inside. A back partition and a top partition are respectively provided on the back and top of the operating table. A negative pressure chamber is formed between the back partition, the top partition, and the inner wall of the fume hood. A negative pressure adsorption hood is provided above the fume hood, connecting to the negative pressure chamber. A window is opened in the back partition, connecting the operating table and the negative pressure chamber. A cover is sealed to the window. Multiple telescopic tubes are arranged in the center of the cover. The first end of each telescopic tube connects to the negative pressure chamber. A metal corrugated pipe is vertically installed at the end of each telescopic tube. The upper end of the metal corrugated pipe connects to the end of the telescopic tube. A funnel-shaped isolation hood is fitted over the lower end of the metal corrugated pipe.

[0006] Furthermore, this utility model provides an emergency isolation system for hazardous chemical leaks in a laboratory fume hood. The outer edge of the funnel-shaped isolation cover is provided with a groove filled with chemical absorbent cotton. Traditional hazardous chemical leak handling methods involve containment and absorption, and this application's design also follows this principle. First, the spilled hazardous chemical is contained using the funnel-shaped isolation cover. Removable and replaceable chemical absorbent cotton is then placed around the edge of the funnel-shaped isolation cover. After containing the spilled hazardous chemical, the funnel-shaped isolation cover is held by hand, and while maintaining downward pressure, it is pushed, pulled, and moved back and forth to ensure that the spilled hazardous chemical is fully absorbed by the chemical absorbent cotton.

[0007] Furthermore, this utility model provides an emergency isolation system for hazardous chemical leaks in a laboratory fume hood, wherein the cover plate has an elongated groove, and the inner wall of the cover plate is provided with a pair of corner brackets. The first end of the multi-section telescopic tube extends through the elongated groove into the negative pressure chamber. The first end of the multi-section telescopic tube is connected to the two corner brackets by a pin. The multi-section telescopic tube is fitted with a corrugated rubber sleeve. The inner end of the corrugated rubber sleeve is bonded to the surface of the cover plate by structural adhesive. The inner end of the corrugated rubber sleeve covers the elongated groove, and the outer end of the corrugated rubber sleeve is bonded to the tube wall of the multi-section telescopic tube by structural adhesive.

[0008] This application has the following advantages over the prior art:

[0009] On the one hand, in the immediate event of a hazardous chemical leak, operators can quickly pull the funnel-shaped isolation cover to contain the spilled hazardous chemicals. Because the ends of the multi-section telescopic pipes are connected to the negative pressure chamber, and the ends are connected to the funnel-shaped isolation cover via a metal corrugated pipe, an effective negative pressure is created within the funnel-shaped isolation cover. The hazardous chemicals spilled on the work surface are isolated within the funnel-shaped isolation cover, effectively preventing the hazardous chemicals from escaping through the safety glass door. On the other hand, the design of this application follows the principle of containment and absorption. First, the spilled hazardous chemicals are contained using the funnel-shaped isolation cover. Removable and replaceable chemical absorbent cotton is installed around the edge of the funnel-shaped isolation cover. After containing the spilled hazardous chemicals, the operator holds the funnel-shaped isolation cover, maintaining downward pressure while pushing, pulling, and reciprocating to ensure that the spilled hazardous chemicals are fully absorbed by the chemical absorbent cotton.
