Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of medical compressed gas supply equipment, specifically relating to a medical compressed air station with stable gas supply. Background Technology

[0002] Medical compressed air stations are a crucial component of a hospital's core life support system, providing clean, dry, safe, continuous, and stable-pressure compressed air for various medical devices, especially ventilators and anesthesia machines.

The first post-filter assembly 7 and the second post-filter assembly 8 are connected to a post-storage tank 9 via pipeline. The rear end of the post-storage tank 9 is connected to a pressure reducing device 10. The pressure reducing device 10 is connected to a distribution cylinder 11. The top of the distribution cylinder 11 is provided with several sampling ports 12, and the sampling ports 12 are connected to various air-using terminals 13 via main pipelines.

[0022] Furthermore, there are two screw air compressors 1, and the two screw air compressors 1 are arranged side by side and connected to the air control cabinet 15 through cable 14; specifically, the air control cabinet 15 is connected to the main power input line 16, which is a three-phase five-wire line, and provides power output to the air control cabinet 15 through the main power input line.

[0023] Furthermore, the first pre-filter assembly 3 and the second pre-filter assembly 4 are dust filters with a filtration accuracy of ≤1.5μm. Specifically, the first pre-filter assembly 3 filters the compressed gas for pellet dust, while the second pre-filter assembly 4 serves as a backup filter assembly. When the first pre-filter assembly 3 needs to be replaced or cleaned, the control valve in front of the first pre-filter assembly 3 is managed, and the control valve in front of the second pre-filter assembly 4 is opened to switch between them, ensuring a continuous and uninterrupted supply of gas.

[0024] Furthermore, both the main dryer 5 and the standby dryer 6 are refrigerated dryers with a pressure dew point of -20 to -55°C, effectively removing water and cooling the compressed gas through the low dew point of -20 to -55°C; even further, the first post-filter assembly 7 and the second post-filter assembly 8 are precision oil-water filters, further purifying the compressed gas to remove water, thereby obtaining clean, dry, and qualified medical compressed gas.

[0025] Furthermore, both the front gas storage tank 2 and the rear gas storage tank 9 are equipped with a horizontal drain valve 17 at the bottom, which facilitates the cleaning and discharge of dirt inside the gas storage tank.

[0026] Furthermore, the rear-mounted air tank 9 is provided with a lifting lug 91 on the top side and a pressure relief port 92 in the middle of the top; the rear-mounted air tank 9 has an observation port 93 in the middle of the side, a pressure display gauge 18 on the observation port 93, and a support leg 94 at the bottom; the air inlet on the lower side and the air outlet on the upper side of the rear-mounted air tank 9 are both connected to control valves 19; specifically, the pressure display gauge 18 is connected to an air pressure alarm box 20, which is equipped with a pressure alarm and connected to the customer's mobile phone or PC via a built-in 4G or wireless network, thereby facilitating real-time monitoring of the rear-mounted air tank 9 and preventing abnormal compressed gas supply caused by malfunctions.

[0028] Furthermore, a vertical drain valve 21 is provided at the bottom of the air distribution cylinder 11, through which sewage is discharged in a timely manner.

[0029] Furthermore, the sampling ports 12 are provided in a total of 1 to 8, preferably 3 to 6, and each is controlled by an independent ball valve to open and close. Clean compressed gas is supplied to various departments of the hospital through the independent sampling ports 12, which improves the utilization efficiency of the air station and reduces the operating cost.

[0030] This utility model discloses a medical compressed air station with stable gas supply. It features a compact structure, good gas supply stability, sustainable multi-department supply, and low energy consumption. Its main working process is as follows: First, a screw air compressor 1 is started. The generated compressed gas enters the pre-storage tank 2 through pipelines. The pre-storage tank 2 obtains saturated compressed gas, which then enters the first pre-filter assembly 3 for dust filtration. The filtered compressed gas enters the main dryer 5 for refrigerated drying. After drying to remove moisture, compressed gas with a low dew point of -45℃ is obtained. Finally, it passes through the first post-filter assembly 7 for further processing. The system first performs oil-water filtration and purification to obtain clean and dry medical compressed gas. The medical compressed gas enters the post-storage tank 9 through pipelines for storage, while the pressure gauge monitors to ensure that the gas pressure in the storage tank is qualified and always maintained within the set pressure range. After passing through the pressure reducing valve, the medical compressed gas is independently split through the gas distribution cylinder 11. The split medical compressed gas is then delivered to various user terminals in the hospital through pipelines. In addition, in order to consider unforeseen circumstances, the screw air compressor, filter assembly, dryer, pressure reducing valve, etc. are all equipped with backup settings to ensure a continuous and stable supply of medical compressed gas.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are merely specific embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments and can have many variations. All variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of this utility model should be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
