Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oxygen therapy chamber technology, and more specifically, relates to a pressure regulating mechanism for an oxygen therapy chamber. Background Technology
[0002] Oxygen therapy, as an important medical treatment, is widely used in various fields such as altitude sickness, diving decompression, sports recovery, and beauty and health care. Traditional oxygen therapy equipment mainly includes simple devices such as oxygen masks and nasal cannulas, but these devices cannot provide a stable hyperbaric oxygen environment, resulting in limited therapeutic effects. With the development of medical technology, hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers have gradually become important equipment for oxygen therapy. Existing hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers mostly adopt cylindrical or spherical structures. Although they can provide a certain hyperbaric oxygen environment, they still have many shortcomings in terms of pressure regulation accuracy, structural strength, and safety. Current pressure regulation devices mostly use simple valve control methods, resulting in low regulation accuracy and difficulty in achieving precise control of the chamber pressure, which directly affects the therapeutic effect and safety. Traditional cylindrical chambers are prone to stress concentration in the cylinder under high pressure, leading to structural deformation or even damage. While spherical chambers have better pressure resistance, their internal space utilization is low, making it inconvenient for patient comfort. The sealing systems of existing equipment mostly use simple rubber gaskets, which have poor sealing reliability and are prone to leakage, posing safety hazards. The poorly designed heat dissipation system leads to a significant increase in chamber temperature after prolonged use, affecting treatment comfort and the equipment's lifespan. The observation window design also suffers from insufficient strength and poor sealing, failing to meet practical usage requirements. These technical issues severely restrict the development and widespread application of oxygen therapy chamber technology, urgently necessitating the development of a new oxygen therapy chamber structure that is structurally sound, high-performing, and safe.

Each handrail is 400 mm long and is mounted on the cabin wall via adjustable brackets. The brackets can be adjusted circumferentially to accommodate patients of different heights. To improve the lighting inside the chamber, an LED lighting system was added to the top of the chamber, consisting of six LEDs, each with a power of 3 watts and a color temperature of 4000K. These LEDs are protected by a transparent polycarbonate lampshade. The lighting system uses 12-volt DC power, which is introduced into the chamber via a sealed cable. The switch control device is installed outside the chamber, allowing operators to adjust the brightness of the lighting as needed. These improvements make the treatment chamber more suitable for prolonged treatment, significantly improving patient comfort, while also further enhancing operational convenience and safety.
[0041] Specifically, the principle of this invention is as follows: This invention adopts an elliptical cylindrical treatment chamber structure. Based on the stress distribution characteristics of an elliptical cross-section under internal pressure, the elliptical structure can more evenly distribute the internal pressure load across the entire chamber wall, avoiding the stress concentration phenomenon in the cylindrical part of the chamber when under internal pressure, thus significantly improving the pressure-bearing capacity and structural stability of the chamber. The design of the hemispherical sealing cover is based on the mechanical principle that a spherical structure has the optimal stress distribution under internal pressure. The stress at each point on the spherical surface is equal, and there is no stress concentration phenomenon, so it can withstand higher internal pressure without deformation or damage. The pressure regulating device adopts a precision valve core spring regulating mechanism. Based on the elastic deformation characteristics of the spring and the geometric sealing principle of the valve core, the position of the valve core in the valve seat is changed by rotating the pressure regulating handwheel, thereby continuously adjusting the ventilation cross-sectional area and achieving precise control of gas flow and internal pressure. This mechanical regulation method has a fast response speed, high regulation accuracy, and good reliability. The design of the arc-shaped ridge structure is based on the stiffening theory in structural mechanics. The ridges act as reinforcing ribs on the inner wall of the cabin, significantly improving the bending stiffness and stability of the cabin wall. Simultaneously, the grooves formed between the ridges provide channels for gas flow. Based on fluid dynamics principles, this structure facilitates the convective mixing of gases within the cabin, ensuring a uniform distribution of oxygen concentration. The design of the observation window assembly is based on the principles of materials mechanics and sealing technology. Tempered glass possesses high strength and good transparency, capable of withstanding high-pressure environments. The combined design of the sealing frame and sealing strips ensures multiple layers of sealing protection. The design of the heat dissipation ridges is based on the principles of heat transfer. By increasing the heat dissipation surface area and optimizing convective heat transfer conditions, it significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency. The triangular cross-section design is based on geometric and fluid dynamics principles, possessing an optimal surface area to volume ratio and fluid dynamic characteristics.
[0042] The specific operation or use method of this utility model is as follows: Before use, first check the integrity and sealing of all components such as the treatment chamber, sealing cover, and observation window assembly to confirm that there is no damage or aging. Check the stability of the support base to ensure that the treatment chamber is firmly installed. Then connect the oxygen source to the connecting pipeline of the pressure regulating device, ensuring that the connection is reliable and leak-free. Turn on the oxygen source and slowly rotate the pressure regulating handwheel to start filling the chamber with oxygen. By observing the reading of the pressure gauge inside the chamber, adjust the rotation angle of the pressure regulating handwheel to adjust the pressure inside the chamber to the required treatment pressure value. The entire inflation process should be carried out slowly to avoid rapid pressure changes that could impact the equipment. Before entering the treatment chamber, the patient should carefully understand the treatment procedure and precautions, confirm that their physical condition is suitable for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and maintain a comfortable position inside the chamber, avoiding strenuous activity. During treatment, the operator should closely monitor the patient's condition through the observation window assembly, take appropriate measures immediately if any abnormalities are found, and monitor the changes in pressure and temperature inside the chamber, adjusting the pressure value in a timely manner according to the requirements of the treatment plan. After treatment, the pressure inside the chamber should be reduced slowly by gradually releasing the gas using the pressure regulating handwheel. The depressurization process should be smooth to avoid sudden pressure drops that could cause discomfort to the patient. Once the pressure inside the chamber has dropped to normal atmospheric pressure, open the sealed cover and assist the patient to safely exit the treatment chamber. After use, the treatment chamber should be cleaned and disinfected, and the working status of all components should be checked. Any problems found should be repaired or replaced promptly. The pressure regulating device should be calibrated regularly to ensure accurate pressure control. Sealing components should be inspected and maintained to ensure the equipment's sealing performance. The entire operation should be strictly performed according to the operating procedures to ensure treatment safety and extend the equipment's lifespan.
