[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] There are many types of air inflation devices, each with its own principles and applications. One of the most common air inflation devices in daily life is the bicycle pump. It typically consists of a cylinder, a piston, and a valve. When the piston is pressed down, the air inside the cylinder is compressed, increasing the pressure, which is then injected into the inner tube of the bicycle tire through the valve. This simple mechanical device utilizes Pascal's Law, which states that in a closed container, pressure applied to a stationary fluid will be transmitted equally and simultaneously to all points in the fluid. The bicycle pump is simple in design, practical, and easy to operate, making it an indispensable tool in daily life. Besides bicycle pumps, there are also car tire inflators. Car tire inflators operate on a similar principle to bicycle pumps, but typically have higher pressure output and a larger flow rate to meet the larger volume and higher pressure requirements of car tires. Modern car tire inflators are also equipped with pressure gauges to precisely control tire pressure, ensuring the safety and comfort of driving.
[0022] In the industrial sector, the applications of gas-filling equipment are even more extensive and complex. For example, in the food packaging industry, gas-filled packaging is a common preservation technology. Gas-filled packaging machines fill food packaging bags with nitrogen or other inert gases, expelling the air inside, thereby reducing the oxidation of food by oxygen and extending its shelf life. This type of gas-filling equipment typically requires precise control of gas flow and pressure to ensure that the gas composition and pressure within the packaging bag meet requirements. Gas-filling equipment also has important applications in the medical field. For example, in operating rooms, ventilators are a crucial piece of gas-filling equipment. Ventilators mix air and oxygen and deliver it to the patient's airway at a specific pressure and flow rate to assist breathing. This equipment has extremely high requirements for gas cleanliness, pressure control, and flow regulation to ensure patient safety and treatment effectiveness.
[0023] In the aerospace field, inflation equipment is indispensable. For example, aircraft tire inflation systems need to maintain stable tire pressure under conditions of high altitude, low temperature, and high speed flight to ensure safe takeoff and landing. Furthermore, spacecraft airbag landing systems are also a special type of inflation equipment. When a spacecraft re-enters Earth, the airbag inflation system rapidly inflates as the spacecraft approaches the ground, forming a large airbag to cushion the impact and protect the spacecraft and astronauts. This type of inflation equipment needs to operate reliably in extreme environments, requiring materials with extremely high resistance to high and low temperatures, corrosion, and impact.
[0024] The principle of gas filling equipment is mainly based on gas dynamics and fluid mechanics. When gas is subjected to external forces, it undergoes compression or expansion, accompanied by changes in pressure and temperature. Gas filling equipment compresses gas in various ways, such as piston compression, centrifugal compression, and screw compression. Piston compressors are one of the most common compression methods. They compress and deliver gas to the required location through the reciprocating motion of a piston within a cylinder. Centrifugal compressors utilize a high-speed rotating impeller to give gas kinetic energy, which is then converted into pressure energy by a diffuser. Screw compressors use two meshing screws to transport gas from the low-pressure end to the high-pressure end, simultaneously compressing the gas. Different compression methods are suitable for different application scenarios and each has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, piston compressors have a simple structure and low cost, but suffer from drawbacks such as numerous moving parts, higher noise levels, and higher maintenance costs; centrifugal compressors have advantages such as compact structure, high efficiency, and low noise, but are somewhat limited in terms of gas flow and pressure range; screw compressors offer advantages such as continuous operation, stable pressure, and convenient maintenance, but are relatively expensive.
[0025] Maintenance and upkeep of inflation equipment are also crucial. For mechanical inflation equipment, such as air pumps and piston compressors, regular checks are needed to inspect the piston's seal, cylinder wear, and valve operation. For electrical inflation equipment, such as electric air pumps and ventilators, regular checks are required to inspect the motor's operation, electrical wiring connections, and pressure sensor accuracy. Furthermore, the gas used in inflation equipment needs to be replaced or filtered regularly to ensure its cleanliness and purity. For example, in the food packaging industry, the nitrogen used in inflation packaging machines needs its purity tested regularly to prevent oxygen from contaminating the packaging bags and affecting the food's preservation.
[0026] With continuous technological advancements, inflatable equipment is also constantly evolving and innovating. For example, modern inflatable equipment increasingly employs intelligent control technology, using sensors and microprocessors to achieve precise control and real-time monitoring of gas pressure, flow rate, and temperature. This intelligent inflatable equipment not only improves work efficiency and product quality but also reduces energy consumption and environmental pollution. Furthermore, new inflatable materials and structures are constantly emerging, such as high-strength, lightweight composite materials and self-sealing inflatable structures. The application of these new materials and structures will further enhance the performance and reliability of inflatable equipment.
[0027] Inflatable devices are essential equipment with wide applications in daily life and industrial production. They compress and transport gas through various methods, meeting people's needs in different fields. From simple bicycle pumps to complex industrial inflation systems, inflatable devices come in many varieties, each with its own unique principles and applications. With continuous technological advancements, inflatable devices will continue to develop and innovate, providing more efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly solutions for people's lives and industrial production.
[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the inflation device for preventing cross-contamination includes an inflation pump 1 and a transmission pipe 3. A transmission pipe 3 for transmitting airflow for inflation is installed on one side of the inflation pump 1. An inflation head 4 is installed at one end of the transmission pipe 3. A disinfection box 7 for storing disinfectant to disinfect the inflation parts is fixed to the outer end of the inflation pump 1. A connector 5 is fixed to one end of the inflation head 4. A sealing threaded ring is installed at the outer end of the connector 5. The connector 5 is connected and fixed to the transmission pipe 3 through the sealing threaded ring, ensuring a tight and airtight connection between the inflation head 4 and the transmission pipe 3, effectively preventing gas leakage during transmission.
[0029] Please see Figures 2-4 One end of the air pump 1 is fixed with a connector 2, and the end of the transmission pipe 3 away from the air head 4 is fixed with a mating plate 6. The transmission pipe 3 is connected to the connector 2 through the mating plate 6, making the connection between the transmission pipe 3 and the air pump 1 more stable and reliable, and facilitating the connection or separation of the transmission pipe 3 and the air pump 1, which is convenient for equipment assembly and maintenance. Several sets of limiting pins are fixed inside the mating plate 6. The mating plate 6 is sealed to the connector 2 through several sets of limiting pins, which enhances the sealing performance and stability between the mating plate 6 and the connector 2, ensuring accurate alignment when the two are connected and avoiding poor sealing due to positional deviation. A drain pipe 8 is installed at the outer end of the disinfection box 7. A valve is fixed at the outer end of the drain pipe 8. The drain pipe 8 is connected to the disinfection box 7, which facilitates the rapid discharge of waste liquid in the disinfection box 7, making subsequent equipment cleaning and maintenance convenient.
[0030] Please see Figures 3-5A collection box 10 is installed on the side of the air pump 1 away from the disinfection box 7. Multiple sets of partitions 11 are fixed inside the collection box 10. The equipment provides a space for collecting and classifying items. The partitions 11 can divide the internal space of the collection box 10 into multiple areas, which is convenient for classifying and storing different items or waste. Both the disinfection box 7 and the collection box 10 are equipped with sealing covers 9 at the top. Two sets of pull buckles are fixed at the top of the sealing cover 9. The sealing cover 9 is fastened to the disinfection box 7 and the collection box 10 to prevent the internal items or liquids from being contaminated or leaked during use, and to reduce the risk of cross-contamination caused by poor sealing. A positioning block 12 is fixed at the top of the air pump 1. Two sets of connecting rods 13 are provided at the top of the positioning block 12. The two sets of connecting rods 13 are welded to the positioning block 12 to provide gripping points for the equipment, which is convenient for subsequent handling and movement, and can adapt to the needs of different scenarios.
[0031] When medical equipment needs to be inflated, first open the sealing cover 9 of the collection box 10 and take out the inflatable parts stored inside. Use the limiting pin to connect the docking plate 6 and the docking connector 2 for docking and limiting. Next, use the connector 5 with the threaded sealing ring to connect and fix it to the transmission pipe 3. Connect the installed inflation head 4 to the device to be inflated, and turn on the inflation pump 1 to inflate it. After the device is inflated, the inflation head 4 can be disassembled and replaced according to its usage. This avoids the accumulation of contaminants caused by long-term use of the connector 5 after each medical inflation operation, and reduces the spread of contaminants attached to the equipment surface between different patients. When the inflation head 4 is used less often, it can also be placed together with the transmission pipe 3 and other parts in the disinfection box 7. The sterilization effect of the disinfectant will eliminate pathogens or bacteria that may exist on the surface and inside of the parts, effectively ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the equipment, reducing the risk of cross-infection caused by equipment contamination, and providing a safer medical environment for patients. After the inflatable parts are disinfected, they are dried and placed in the collection box 10 for storage, which is convenient for subsequent reuse.
