The present disclosure relates to the technical field of medical devices and more particularly, to a fire protection device, an oxygen therapy instrument and a ventilation treatment system.
At present, the oxygen therapy has been widely used in clinical treatment and hospital rescue. When patients cannot meet their needs by inhaling oxygen themselves, external oxygen supply is usually required. External instruments can be used to supply oxygen to the patients by invasive or non-invasive methods. Instruments used to supply oxygen to a patient are collectively referred to as oxygen therapy instruments.
Due to the combustion-supporting characteristic of oxygen, it is usually necessary to provide a fire protection device on the oxygen therapy instrument. When oxygen leakage occurs and causes fire, the oxygen pathway is timely cut off by the fire protection device, so as to reduce the spread of fire and reduce the loss. In the prior art, a support having a relatively low melting point is generally provided at an opening of the fire protection device. A sealing valve is supported by the support. After the support is melted by heat, the sealing valve is driven by a spring to move to the opening and is engaged with the opening to block a gas path.
The existing fire protection device communicates with the oxygen therapy instrument and the oxygen pipeline at the patient end. A metal spring is provided inside the fire protection device. When the metal spring is in an oxygen-rich environment, the phenomenon of oxidation failure is easy to occur. When a fire occurs, there is still a risk of oxygen leakage, with a low safety factor.
When the oxygen therapy instrument is normally used, in order to ensure that oxygen can pass through the fire protection device, it is necessary to open a small hole on the support. The design of opening holes has a greater impact on the smooth gas path, and the stability is not strong. It is easy to block the gas path in non-fire conditions, thus affecting the treatment effect.
With the fire protection device in the related art, when the sealing valve moves inside the fire protection device, the sealing valve will be deflected, there is a problem in that the sealing valve cannot be accurately engaged with the opening and the stability of the fire protection device is poor. Furthermore, the slow melting speed of the support results in that the sealing valve cannot move to the opening in time, and cannot rapidly block the gas path, thus easily causing the spread of fire.
The ventilation apparatus communicates with a respiratory airway of a user via a pipeline to provide oxygen to the user continuously via the pipeline. Due to the combustion-supporting characteristic of oxygen, the oxygen produced by the ventilation apparatus can cause the fire to continue to expand when the user side catches fire.
In a medical or home environment, external oxygen is often required when the patients cannot meet their needs by inhaling oxygen themselves. This method of supplying oxygen to the patient by means of an external instrument, either in an invasive manner or a non-invasive manner, is known as oxygen therapy. Instruments used to provide oxygen to the patients are collectively referred to as oxygen generators. The oxygen generators are typically connected by flexible plastic pipe to a respiratory mask or nasal intubation that is worn to a face of a patient in need of ventilation treatment (such as oxygen therapy).
Oxygen as a combustion-supporting gas, if exposed to open fire (such as smoking, etc.), will certainly promote fire, which is very easy to cause fire. Most oxygen generators are configured for continuously delivering oxygen to the respiratory mask or nasal intubation at a determined rate according to the needs of the patient. Even if the respiratory mask or nasal intubation is removed, it does not cause the delivery of oxygen to cease. In this case, it is easy to establish an oxygen rich environment around the patient, thus preparing the surrounding environment for a catastrophic fire based on ignition. However, the oxygen concentration output by the oxygen generator is generally greater than 90%. Once the flexible plastic pipe which is outputting oxygen is accidentally ignited, the flame will gradually burn towards the generator body along with the oxygen output pipe since there is a continuous high-concentration oxygen outflow from the flexible plastic pipe, and finally the oxygen generator is ignited to generate fire. When the oxygen generator is used in the home care environment, due to the lack of corresponding supervision conditions, the above-mentioned fire hazards will be aggravated in the home environment. If the output path of oxygen cannot be timely closed, the fire will become more severe, which will aggravate the difficulty of fire rescue.
In order to block the output path of oxygen in the event of a fire, in the related art, a method of providing a fire-protection isolation device is generally used. When the fire-protection isolation device in the related art is in normal operation, a gas (such as oxygen) flows out through a small hole of a meltable nose component after passing through a central hole of surrounding the compression spring. In the event of a fire, the meltable nose component is melted at an elevated temperature, thus allowing the compression spring to urge the poppet valve to close so as to block the output path of oxygen. However, the compression springs in such fire-protection isolation devices are typically made of metallic materials, after the compression springs made of the metallic materials are exposed to oxygen for a long time, particularly in humid environments, there will inevitably be chemical reactions such as oxidation and thus causing the failure of the compression springs, which would greatly reduce the useful life of the fire-protection isolation device while affecting the health of the patients.
The present disclosure provides a fire protection device, an oxygen therapy instrument and a ventilation treatment system, aiming to solve the problems in the related art that oxidation failure is easy to occur since a metal spring inside the fire protection device is in an oxygen-rich environment, and there is still a risk of oxygen leakage when a fire occurs, with a low safety.

In the present disclosure, the fire protection device includes the housing, the first valve body, the second valve body, and the elastic member, wherein the housing has the fluid passage therein; one end of the housing has the first opening, and the second end of the housing has the second opening. The first opening and the second opening are in communication with the fluid passage; therefore, the first opening, the fluid passage, and the second opening can form a passage for the circulation of the gas. Herein, the first opening and the second opening are used for communicating with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the pipeline of the oxygen supply end, so that one end of the fluid passage can be connected to the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument through the first opening and the second opening, and the other end of the fluid passage can be connected to the pipeline of the oxygen supply end; and the oxygen therapy instrument can deliver oxygen to the patient through the oxygen supply end. The first limiting rib is fixed on the hole wall of the first opening; the second limiting rib is fixed on the hole wall of the second opening; the first end of the first valve body abuts against the first limiting rib; the second end of the second valve body abuts against the second limiting rib; the elastic member is connected between the second end of the first valve body and the second end of the second valve body, so that the first valve body and the second valve body can be distributed at intervals along the direction from the first opening to the second opening. Since the elastic member is in a compressed state, and the extension and retraction direction of the elastic member is consistent with the direction of extension of the fluid passage, the elastic member can exert a force on the first valve body and the second valve body, so that the first valve body has a tendency to move in a direction towards the first opening, and the second valve body has a tendency to move towards the second opening.

When the second limiting rib is in the molten state, the second limiting rib loses a blocking effect on the second valve body; at this time, the elastic member is elongated, namely, the elastic member may release elastic potential energy, and the second valve body moves to a second position in the direction towards the second opening under the elastic force of the elastic member, so that the second valve body is in sealing connection with the passage wall of the fluid passage, thereby blocking the fluid passage and preventing oxygen from continuing to flow in the fluid passage.
That is, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, if a flame is induced due to improper operation during the oxygen therapy, the first limiting rib or the second limiting rib burns in the molten state. At this time, the elastic member disposed between the first valve body and the second valve body may push the first valve body or the second valve body to move, so that the first valve body or the second valve body is in sealing connection with the fluid passage, thereby blocking the fluid passage. The fire protection device may prevent the oxygen from continuing to flow in the fluid passage, avoid the problem that the flame with the oxygen pipe gradually burns to the fuselage, which easily causes the spread of fire and finally ignites the oxygen generator to have serious fire.

The valve body 20 is located in the fluid passage 101 and is rotatably connected to the housing 10. The valve body 20 and the housing 10 may be rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 104 or a roller. For example, a rotating shaft 104 is disposed on the housing 10, and the valve body 20 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 104. Alternatively, a roller is disposed on the valve body 20 to rotate relative to the inner wall of the housing 10. The valve body 20 may also be made of a material which is not easily chemically reacted with oxygen and is resistant to high temperatures. The valve body 20 is further provided with a sealing part which is engaged with the first opening 102 or the second opening 103. The sealing part may be made of a material such as silicone, rubber, etc. and may achieve a good sealing effect.
The valve body 20 is provided with the accommodating cavity 201, and the fluid passage 101 and the accommodating cavity 201 are two spaces independent from each other. The torsion spring 30 is embedded into the accommodating cavity 201 to drive the relative rotation of the valve body 20 and the housing 10. The torsion spring 30 may be a metal spring made of such as iron, copper, or an alloy, or may be a soft rubber such as silica gel or rubber that may store elastic potential energy. The torsion spring 30 may store the elastic potential energy and drive the valve body 20 to rotate in the event of a fire, so that the fluid passage 101 is closed and the oxygen passage is blocked, thereby achieving a fire prevention effect. The oxygen does not intrude into the accommodating cavity 201 while being transported in the fluid passage 101, thereby reducing the probability of the torsion spring 30 contacting oxygen, avoiding the problem of oxidation failure of the torsion spring 30, and improving the stability and durability of the fire protection device.
The meltable member 40, which may be made of a lower melting point material such as PP, PVC, or the like, is disposed on the inner wall of the fluid passage 101 and located on the rotational path of the valve body 20 to support the valve body 20. The fitting of the meltable member 40 to the inner wall of the fluid passage 101 may be accomplished by bonding, clamping, or the like.
In the absence of a fire (the temperature is low), the meltable member 40 is in a non-molten state, has a certain rigidity, and is capable of supporting the valve body 20. When the valve body 20 is in a first position, the first opening 102 and the second opening 103 are both in an open state. Oxygen may be normally transmitted in the fluid passage 101 through the first opening 102 and the second opening 103. When the valve body 20 is in the first position, the spring force exerted by the torsion spring 30 on the valve body 20 and the supporting force exerted by the meltable member 40 on the valve body 20 are in equilibrium.
In the event of a fire (the temperature is high), the meltable member 40 is in a molten state, and the meltable member 40 may not continue to support the valve body 20. The equilibrium state of the valve body 20 is broken. At this time, the valve body 20 is rotated from the first position to the second position by the elastic force of the torsion spring 30, and the sealing part of the valve body 20 is engaged with at least one of the first opening 102 and the second opening 103, so that at least one of the first opening 102 and the second opening 103 is in a closed state. At this time, the fluid passage 101 is blocked, and oxygen may not continue to be transmitted.
In the disclosed embodiment, when the meltable member 40 is in a non-molten state, the meltable member 40 supports the valve body to be in a first position, both the first opening 102 and the second opening 103 are in an open state, and the fluid passage 101 normally transmits oxygen. When a fire occurs, the meltable member 40 will be in a molten state as the temperature reaches the melting point. The meltable member 40 is insufficient to support the elastic force exerted on the valve body 20 by the torsion spring 30. The torsion spring 30 releases the stored elastic potential energy. The valve body 20 rotates from the first position to the second position under the drive of the torsion spring 30, so that at least one of the first opening 102 and the second opening 103 is in a closed state, thereby cutting off the oxygen passage and preventing the oxygen from continuously leaking out to cause the fire to spread. In addition, the accommodating cavity 201 in which the torsion spring 30 is located and the fluid passage 101 are independent from each other, so that the problem of oxidation of the torsion spring 30 is avoided, and the durability and safety factor of the device are improved.

The rotating shaft 104 is disposed in the fluid passage 101. The rotating shaft 104 and the inner wall of the fluid passage 101 may be made by an integral process, or may be made separately, and assembled by means of bonding or clamping. The inner shaft sleeve 2021 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 104, and the inner shaft sleeve 2021 is arranged coaxially with the rotating shaft 104 and is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 104, thereby achieving relative rotation between the valve body 20 and the housing 10. One end of the first connecting portion 203 is connected to the side wall of the outer shaft sleeve 2022, and the other end of the first connecting portion 203 is connected to the first sealing portion 204. The first connecting portion 203, the outer shaft sleeve 2022 and the inner shaft sleeve 2021 can be made of the same material and made by integral molding.
The first sealing portion 204 is close to the first opening 102. The first sealing portion 204 may be made of silicone, rubber, or the like, and has a good sealing effect. When the valve body 20 is in the second position, the first sealing portion 204 is engaged with the first opening 102. That is, the end surface of the first sealing portion 204 abuts against the inner wall of the fluid passage 101 around the first opening 102 to cover the first opening 102. When the first opening 102 is in the closed state, the fluid passage 101 is blocked.
Alternatively, as shown in
Specifically, as shown in
The second sealing portion 206 may be made of silicone or rubber, and has a good sealing effect. When the valve body 20 is in the second position, the second sealing portion 206 is engaged with the second opening 103. That is, the end surface of the second sealing portion 206 abuts against the inner wall of the fluid passage 101 around the second opening 103 to cover the second opening 103. When the second opening 103 is in the closed state, the fluid passage 101 is blocked.
By disposing a sealing portion at both the first opening 102 and the second opening 103, the first opening 102 and the second opening 103 are closed at the same time when the valve body 20 is in the second position. It ensures the blocking effect of the fluid passage 101, thereby improving the stability of the fire protection device.

In the event of a fire, the meltable member 40 is heated and melted, insufficient to counteract the rotational torque exerted by the torsion spring 30 on the valve body 20. At this moment, the torsion spring 30 releases the stored elastic potential energy and causes relative rotation between the valve body 20 and the housing 10 until the valve body 20 stops rotating when it contacts the limiting portion 105. The valve body 20 is just in the second position, and the fluid passage 101 is in the closed state. Under the combined action of the torsion spring 30 and the limiting portion 105, a stable assembly is formed between the valve body 20 and the housing 10.

Embodiments of the present disclosure also disclose a first type of an oxygen therapy instrument including the first type of the fire protection device.
Specifically, in a medical or home setting, when the patient is unable to meet his/her needs on his/her own inhaled oxygen, it is often necessary to supply oxygen through an external instrument. The method of delivering oxygen to a patient by means of an external instrument, either in an invasive manner or a non-invasive manner, is known as oxygen therapy. Instruments used to supply oxygen to a patient are collectively referred to as oxygen therapy instruments. The oxygen therapy instrument is generally composed of three parts: an oxygen generating device (e.g., an oxygen tank, an oxygen generator, etc.), an interface for delivering oxygen to a patient (e.g., a nasal oxygen tube, a mask, etc.), and a pipeline connecting the generating device and the patient interface. A fire protection device is disposed in series in the pipeline between the oxygen generating device and the patient interface. The fire protection device has a fluid passage 101 therein. The fluid passage 101 is used for communicating with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the patient end. The fire protection device may control the opening or closing of the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument by controlling the opening or closing of the fluid passage 101.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first type of the fire protection device is connected in series in the pipeline of the first type of the oxygen therapy instrument. When the meltable member 40 is in a non-molten state, the meltable member 40 supports the valve body 20 to be in the first position, both the first opening 102 and the second opening 103 are in the open state, and the fluid passage 101 normally transmits oxygen. When a fire occurs, the meltable member 40 will be in a molten state as the temperature reaches the melting point. The meltable member 40 is insufficient to support the elastic force exerted on the valve body 20 by the torsion spring 30. The torsion spring 30 releases the stored elastic potential energy. The valve body 20 rotates from the first position to the second position under the drive of the torsion spring 30, so that at least one of the first opening 102 and the second opening 103 is in a closed state, thereby cutting off the oxygen passage and preventing the oxygen from continuously leaking out to cause the fire to spread. In addition, the accommodating cavity 201 in which the torsion spring 30 is located and the fluid passage 101 are independent from each other, so that the problem of oxidation of the torsion spring 30 is avoided, and the durability and safety factor of the device are improved.
Embodiments of the present disclosure also disclose a first type of a ventilation treatment system including the first type of the oxygen therapy instrument.
Specifically, the first type of the ventilation treatment system includes a control device and the first type of the oxygen therapy instrument. The control device is used for controlling the oxygen supply amount, working time, etc. of the first type of the oxygen therapy instrument. The control device can be an electronic device or a component in the electronic device, such as an integrated circuit or a chip. The electronic device may be a terminal or may be a device other than a terminal. Illustratively, the electronic device may be a cell phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palmtop computer, a mobile Internet appliance, a robot, a wearable device, etc. and embodiments of the present disclosure are not particularly limited.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first type of the ventilation treatment system includes the first type of the oxygen therapy instrument. The first type of the fire protection device is connected in series in the pipeline of the first type of the oxygen therapy instrument. When the meltable member 40 is in a non-molten state, the meltable member 40 supports the valve body to be in the first position, both the first opening 102 and the second opening 103 are in the open state, and the fluid passage 101 normally transmits oxygen. When a fire occurs, the meltable member 40 will be in a molten state as the temperature reaches the melting point. The meltable member 40 is insufficient to support the elastic force exerted on the valve body 20 by the torsion spring 30. The torsion spring 30 releases the stored elastic potential energy. The valve body 20 rotates from the first position to the second position under the drive of the torsion spring 30, so that at least one of the first opening 102 and the second opening 103 is in the closed state, thereby cutting off the oxygen passage and preventing the oxygen from continuously leaking out to cause the fire to spread. In addition, the accommodating cavity 201 in which the torsion spring 30 is located and the fluid passage 101 are independent from each other, so that the problem of oxidation of the torsion spring 30 is avoided, and the durability and safety factor of the device are improved.

The meltable member 240 is disposed between the valve body 230 and the gas passage 2102 to support the valve body 230, and a gap is provided between the meltable member 240 and the gas passage 2102. Oxygen may flow through the gap normally. The meltable member 240 is typically made of a lower-melting-point material, such as PP, PVC, or the like.
When there is no fire (the temperature is low), the meltable member 240 is in a non-molten state and has a certain rigidity to support the valve body 230. At this time, the valve body 230 is in the first position, the gas passage 2102 is in an open state, and oxygen may normally flow in the gas passage 2102. When the valve body 230 is in the first position, the elastic force exerted by the elastic member 220 on the valve body 230 and the supporting force exerted by the meltable member 240 on the valve body 230 are in equilibrium.
When a fire occurs (the temperature is high), the meltable member 240 is in a molten state, and the meltable member 240 may not continue to support the valve body 230. The equilibrium state of the valve body 230 is broken. At this time, the valve body 230 moves from the first position to the second position under the elastic force of the elastic member 220, the gas passage 2102 is in a closed state, and the oxygen passage is blocked.
Wherein, the first position and the second position of the valve body 230 are the positions of the valve body 230 relative to the gas passage 2102. When the valve body 230 is switched between the first position and the second position, the valve body 230 can be switched in a sliding manner or in a rotating manner, which can achieve the opening and closing of the gas passage 2102, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when a fire occurs, the meltable member 240 may be in a molten state when the temperature reaches the melting point. The meltable member 240 is insufficient to support the elastic force exerted on the valve body 230 by the elastic member 220. The elastic member 220 releases the stored elastic potential energy, and the valve body 230 switches from the first position to the second position driven by the elastic member 220 to encroach on the space of the gas passage 2102, so as to cut off the oxygen passage and avoid the spread of the fire caused by the continuous leakage of oxygen. Also, the accommodating cavity 2101 where the elastic member 220 is located and the gas passage 2102 are independent from each other, so that the problem of oxidation of the elastic member 220 is avoided and the durability and safety factor of the device are improved.

The elastic member 220 is located in the accommodating cavity 2101. One end of the elastic member 220 abuts against the bottom of the accommodating cavity 2101 and the other end abuts against the valve body 230. When the valve body 230 is in the first position, the elastic member 220 is in a compressed state, and accumulating the elastic potential energy. The meltable member 240 is positioned on a side of the valve body 230 close to the gas passage 2102 to support the valve body 230.
The meltable member 240 may be a series of protruding structures. It may form a gap between the protruding structures and the valve body 230 when the meltable member 240 is in contact with the valve body 230, to facilitate delivery of oxygen to a patient via the gap in the absence of a fire. Certainly, the meltable member 240 may also be provided with a hollow structure or aperture structure through which oxygen is delivered to the patient in the absence of a fire.
The gas passage 2102 may include multiple sub-channels arranged in a bent manner, as shown in
When there is no fire (the temperature is low), the meltable member 240 is in the non-molten state and has a certain rigidity to support the valve body 230. At this time, the valve body 230 is in the first position, the gas passage 2102 is in the open state, and oxygen may normally flow in the gas passage 2102. When the valve body 230 is in the first position, the elastic force exerted by the elastic member 220 on the valve body 230 and the supporting force exerted by the meltable member 240 on the valve body 230 are in equilibrium.
When a fire occurs (the temperature is high), the meltable member 240 is in the molten state, and the meltable member 240 may not continue to support the valve body 230. The equilibrium state of the valve body 230 is broken. At this time, the valve body 230 slides relative to the accommodating cavity 2101 under the elastic force of the elastic member 220, and slides from the first position to the second position. The valve body 230 enters the gas passage 2102, and is attached to the inner wall of the gas passage 2102, encroaches on the space of the gas passage 2102 of the gas passage 2102, so that the oxygen passage is blocked, with the gas passage 2102 in the closed state. Further leakage of oxygen is prevented, further deterioration of fire is avoided, and fire prevention is achieved.

When the valve body 230 is in the first position, the gas passage 2102 is away from the gas passage 2102, and the gas passage 2102 is in the open state. When the valve body 230 is in the second position, the valve body 230 slides toward the side close to the gas passage 2102 and blocks the gas passage 2102, and the gas passage 2102 is in the closed state.

The side wall of the first housing 2103 is provided with a first through-hole 2105 and a second through-hole 2106 which are respectively used for communicating with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the patient end. Oxygen may be input into the housing 10 from the first through-hole 2105 and then flow out through the second through-hole 2106.

The meltable member 240 may be disposed between the valve body 230 and the second housing 2104, and is respectively clamped with the valve body 230 and the second housing 2104. When a fire does not occur (the temperature is low), the meltable member 240 has a certain rigidity, so as to limit the relative rotation of the first housing 2103 and the second housing 2104. A quantity of the meltable members 240 may be one or two. When the quantity of the meltable members 240 is one, the meltable member 240 may be clamped with the fifth through-hole 2301 and the third through-hole 2107, respectively, and may be clamped with the fifth through-hole 2301 and the fourth through-hole 2108, respectively. When the quantity of the meltable members 240 is two, the meltable members 240 may be disposed between the fifth through-hole 2301 and the third through-hole 2107, and between the fifth through-hole 2301 and the fourth through-hole 2108.
The elastic member 220 is located in a mounting cavity formed by the first housing 2103 and the second housing 2104, and the elastic member 220 abuts against the valve body 230 and the second housing 2104, respectively, to accumulate the elastic potential energy. The elastic member 220 may be a metal torsion spring such as iron, copper, alloy, etc. a spring, etc., or a soft rubber structure such as silica gel, rubber, etc. which can store the elastic potential energy. The quantity of the elastic members 220 may be set to one or more.

In the absence of a fire (the temperature is low), the meltable member 240 is in the non-molten state, has a certain rigidity, and may support the valve body 230, so that the first housing 2103 and the second housing 2104 are in a relatively stationary state.

Oxygen can enter the gas passage 2102 via the first through-hole 2105 and then flow out through the second through-hole 2106. Furthermore, the gas passage 2102 and the accommodating cavity 2101 where the elastic member 220 is located are independent from each other, thus avoiding the problem of oxidation of the elastic member 220 and improving the durability and safety factor of the device.

When a fire occurs (the temperature is relatively high), the meltable member 240 is in the molten state, and the meltable member 240 is insufficient to support the rotational torque exerted by the elastic member 220 between the first housing 2103 and the second housing 2104. The equilibrium state between the first housing 2103 and the second housing 2104 is broken. At this time, the elastic member 220 releases the stored elastic potential energy. The valve body 230 and the first housing 2103 rotate relative to the second housing 2104 under the elastic force of the elastic member 220, and the valve body 230 rotates from the first position to the second position. The fifth through-hole 2301 of the valve body 230 is offset from the third through-hole 2107 and the fourth through-hole 2108 of the second housing 2104, and the first through-hole 2105 and the second through-hole 2106 are also offset from the third through-hole 2107 and the fourth through-hole 2108, respectively. After the first housing 2103 and the second housing 2104 are relatively rotated, the first through-hole 2105, the second through-hole 2106 and the fifth through-hole 2301 are respectively attached to the housing wall of the second housing 2104, so that the oxygen passage is blocked and the gas passage 2102 is in the closed state. Further leakage of oxygen is prevented, further deterioration of fire is avoided, and fire prevention is achieved.

Embodiments of the present disclosure also disclose a second type of an oxygen therapy instrument including the second type of the fire protection device.
Specifically, in a medical or home setting, when the patient is unable to meet his/her needs relying on his/her own inhaled oxygen, it is often necessary to supply oxygen through an external instrument. The method of delivering oxygen to a patient by means of an external instrument, either in an invasive manner or a non-invasive manner, is known as oxygen therapy. Instruments used to supply oxygen to a patient are collectively referred to as oxygen therapy instruments. The oxygen therapy instrument is generally composed of three parts: an oxygen generating device (e.g., an oxygen tank, oxygen generator, etc.), an interface for delivering oxygen to a patient (e.g., a nasal oxygen tube, a mask, etc.), and a pipeline connecting the generating device and the patient interface. The fire protection device is disposed in series in the pipeline between the oxygen generating device and the patient interface. The fire protection device has a gas passage 2102 therein. The gas passage 2102 is used for communicating with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument. The fire protection device may control the opening or closing of the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument by controlling the opening or closing of the internal gas passage 2102.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second type of the fire protection device is connected in series in the pipeline of the second type of the oxygen therapy instrument. When a fire occurs, the meltable member 240 will be in a molten state as the temperature reaches the melting point. The meltable member 240 is insufficient to support the elastic force exerted on the valve body 230 by the elastic member 220. The elastic member 220 releases the stored elastic potential energy. The valve body 230 is switched from the first position to the second position under the drive of the elastic member 220 to encroach on the space of the gas passage 2102, thereby cutting off the oxygen passage and avoiding the spread of the fire caused by the continuous leakage of oxygen. Furthermore, the accommodating cavity 2101 where the elastic member 220 is located and the gas passage 2102 are independent from each other, so that the problem of oxidation of the elastic member 220 is avoided, and the durability and safety factor of the oxygen therapy instrument are improved.

The control device may be an electronic device or a component in the electronic device, such as an integrated circuit or a chip. The electronic device may be a terminal or may be a device other than a terminal. Illustratively, the electronic device may be a cell phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palmtop computer, a mobile Internet appliance, a robot, a wearable device, etc. and embodiments of the present disclosure are not particularly limited.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second type of the ventilation treatment system includes the second type of the oxygen therapy instrument. The second type of the fire protection device is connected in series in the pipeline of the second type of the oxygen therapy instrument. When a fire occurs, the meltable member 240 may be in a molten state when the temperature reaches the melting point. The meltable member 240 is insufficient to support the elastic force exerted on the valve body 230 by the elastic member 220. The elastic member 220 releases the stored elastic potential energy, and the valve body 230 switches from the first position to the second position driven by the elastic member 220 to encroach on the space of the gas passage 2102, so as to cut off the oxygen passage and avoid the spread of the fire caused by the continuous leakage of oxygen.

At this time, the first elastic valve body 320 and the second elastic valve release at least part of the elastic potential energy, and the first elastic valve body 320 and the second elastic valve increase in thickness and respectively abut against the first end surface and the second end surface. Thus, the first opening 3102 and the second opening 3103 are in the closed state, oxygen gas cannot pass through the first opening 3102 and the second opening 3103, and the oxygen gas path is blocked.
By providing an elastic valve body and a meltable member at both the first opening 3102 and the second opening 3103, at least one of the first meltable member 330 and the second meltable member 360 melts in the event of a fire (when the temperature is high), i.e., the air passage is blocked to prevent oxygen leakage, thereby improving the reliability of the fire protection device. When both the first meltable member 330 and the second meltable member 360 melts, both the first opening 3102 and the second opening 3103 are in the closed state, thus providing a double sealing safeguard, and greatly improving the safety factor of the fire protection device.
Embodiments of the present disclosure also disclose a third type of an oxygen therapy instrument, including the third type of the fire protection device.
Specifically, in a medical or home setting, when the patient is unable to meet his/her needs relying on his/her own inhaled oxygen, it is often necessary to supply oxygen through an external instrument. The method of delivering oxygen to a patient by means of an external instrument, either in an invasive manner or a non-invasive manner, is known as oxygen therapy. Instruments used to supply oxygen to a patient are collectively referred to as oxygen therapy instruments. The oxygen therapy instrument is generally composed of three parts: an oxygen generating device (e.g., an oxygen tank, oxygen generator, etc.), an interface for delivering oxygen to a patient (e.g., a nasal oxygen tube, a mask, etc.), and a pipeline connecting the generating device and the patient interface. The fire protection device is disposed in series in the pipeline between the oxygen generating device and the patient interface.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the third type of the fire protection device is connected in series in the pipeline of the third oxygen therapy instrument. When the first meltable member 330 is in a non-molten state, the first meltable member 330 compresses the first elastic valve body 320, and the thickness of the first elastic valve body 320 decreases, with a gap between the first opening 3102 and the first elastic valve body 320 for gas flow. In the event of a fire, when the temperature of the meltable member reaches the melting point, the meltable member will be in a molten state. The first elastic valve body 320 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy, the first elastic valve body 320 abuts against the first end surface of the accommodating cavity 3101, and the first elastic valve body 320 covers the first opening 3102, so that the first opening 3102 is in the closed state, thereby cutting off the oxygen passage and preventing the oxygen from continuously leaking out to cause the fire to spread. Since the first elastic valve body 320 has oxidation resistance characteristics, the problem of oxidation of the first elastic valve body 320 is avoided, and the durability and safety factor of the device are improved.
Embodiments of the present disclosure also disclose a third type of a ventilation treatment system including the third type of the oxygen therapy instrument.
Specifically, the third type of the ventilation treatment system includes a control device and the third type of the oxygen therapy instrument. The control device is used for controlling the oxygen supply amount, operation time, etc. of the oxygen therapy instrument. The control device may be an electronic device or a component in the electronic device, such as an integrated circuit or a chip. The electronic device may be a terminal or may be a device other than a terminal. Illustratively, the electronic device may be a cell phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palmtop computer, a mobile Internet appliance, a robot, a wearable device, etc. and embodiments of the present disclosure are not particularly limited.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the third type of the ventilation treatment system includes the third type of the oxygen therapy instrument. The third type of the fire protection device is connected in series in the pipeline of the third type of the oxygen therapy instrument. When the first meltable member 330 is in a non-molten state, the first meltable member 330 compresses the first elastic valve body 320, and the thickness of the first elastic valve body 320 decreases, with a gap between the first opening 3102 and the first elastic valve body 320 for gas flow. In the event of a fire, when the temperature of the meltable member reaches the melting point, the meltable member will be in a molten state. The first elastic valve body 320 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy, the first elastic valve body 320 abuts against the first end surface of the accommodating cavity 3101, and the first elastic valve body 320 covers the first opening 3102, so that the first opening 3102 is in the closed state, thereby cutting off the oxygen passage and preventing the oxygen from continuously leaking out to cause the fire to spread. Since the first elastic valve body 320 has oxidation resistance characteristics, the problem of oxidation of the first elastic valve body 320 is avoided, and the durability and safety factor of the device are improved.

The first movable rod 420 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fluid passage 4101. The axis of the first movable rod 420 coincides with the axis of the fluid passage 4101. The first movable rod 420 is made of the fireproof and flame-retardant material.

The first valve body 440 is provided through the first narrowed portion 4102 and slidably connected to the inner wall of the fluid passage 4101. One end of the first valve body 440 is connected to the first movable rod 420, and the specific connection method may be clamping, bonding, etc. The first valve body 440 is also made of the fireproof and flame-retardant material. The other end of the first valve body 440 is provided with the first elastic member 450. The first elastic member 450 abuts against the housing 10, so as to be capable of providing a driving force to the first valve body 440. The first elastic member 450 may be a metal spring such as iron, copper, alloy, etc. or a soft rubber such as silica gel, rubber, etc. which can store the elastic potential energy.
The first sealing member 4401 is provided at the position of the first valve body 440 close to the first narrowed portion 4102. The first sealing member 4401 can be disposed on both sides of the first valve body 440 along its own axis. When the first valve body 440 slides relative to the housing 10, the first sealing member 4401 may block the gap between the first valve body 440 and the first narrowed portion 4102, thereby closing the fluid passage 4101. The first sealing member 4401 may be made of silicone, rubber, etc. and has a good sealing effect.
In the absence of a fire (the temperature is low), the first meltable member 430 is in the non-molten state, has a certain rigidity, and may support the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440. When the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440 are in the first position, the first valve body 440 is in the open state. The first sealing member 4401 is in clearance fit with the first narrowed portion 4102. The fluid passage 4101 is in the open state. Oxygen may be normally transmitted in the fluid passage 4101. When the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440 are in the first position, the elastic force applied to the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440 by the first elastic member 450 and the supporting force applied to the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440 by the first meltable member 430 are in equilibrium.
When a fire occurs (the temperature is high), the first meltable member 430 melts. The first meltable member 430 may not continue to support the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440, and the equilibrium state is broken. At this time, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 450, the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440 slide from the first position to the second position. The first valve body 440 is in the closed state. The first sealing member 4401 on the first valve body 440 is engaged with the first narrowed portion 4102, so that the fluid passage 4101 is in the closed state, and oxygen may not continue to be transmitted. At the same time, the first movable rod 420 may also be separated from the first valve body 440, and the first movable rod 420 continues to slide under the action of inertia and extends into the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the patient end, which can also play the role of cutting off the oxygen passage, further improving the safety factor of the fire protection device.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, with the cooperation of the first meltable member 430, the first movable rod 420, the first valve body 440, and the first elastic member 450, it is possible to automatically close the fluid passage 4101 in the event of a fire, cut off the oxygen passage, and prevent the continuous leakage of the oxygen to cause the spread of the fire. The structure is simple, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty. The oxygen can be normally transmitted through the gap between the first meltable member 430 and the fluid passage 4101 without opening the first meltable member 430, thereby reducing ventilation noise and preventing the air passage from being blocked by mistake in case of non-fire. Thus, it improves the stability of the fire protection device and ensures the therapeutic effect.

The second sealing member 4801 is provided at a position of the second valve body 480 close to the second narrowed portion 4103. The second sealing member 4801 may be disposed on both sides of the second valve body 480 along its own axis. When the second valve body 480 slides relative to the housing 10, the second sealing member 4801 may block the gap between the second valve body 480 and the second narrowed portion 4103, thereby closing the fluid passage 4101. The second sealing member 4801 may be made of silicone, rubber, etc. to achieve a good sealing effect.
In the absence of a fire (the temperature is low), the second meltable member 470 is in the non-molten state and has a certain rigidity so as to be able to support the second movable rod 460 and the second valve body 480. When the second movable rod 460 and the second valve body 480 are in the third position, the second valve body 480 is in the open state, and the second sealing member 4801 is in clearance fit with the second narrowed portion 4103. The fluid passage 4101 is in the open state, and oxygen may be normally transmitted in the fluid passage 4101.

In the event of a fire (the temperature is high), the second meltable member 470 melts, the second meltable member 470 may not continue to support the second movable rod 460 and the second valve body 480, and the equilibrium state is broken. At this time, under the elastic force of the second elastic member 490, the second movable rod 460 and the second valve body 480 slide from the third position to the fourth position. The second valve body 480 is in the closed state. The second sealing member 4801 on the second valve body 480 is engaged with the second narrowed portion 4103, so that the fluid passage 4101 is in the closed state, and oxygen may not continue to be transmitted. At the same time, the second movable rod 460 may also be separated from the second valve body. The second movable rod 460 continues to slide under the action of inertia and extends into the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the patient end, which can also play the role of cutting off the oxygen passage, further improving the safety factor of the fire protection device.
By providing the movable rod and the valve body at both ends of the fluid passage 4101, when at least one of the first narrowed portion 4102 and the second narrowed portion 4103 is engaged with the sealing member, the fluid passage 4101 may be closed to prevent oxygen leakage, thereby improving the reliability of the fire protection device.

The first pipeline joint 4105 and the second pipeline joint 4106 may be symmetrically disposed on the housing 10, one of which communicates with the patient end and the other of which communicates with the oxygen therapy instrument end when assembled with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the patient end. Since the first pipeline joint 4105 and the second pipeline joint 4106 are symmetrically arranged, both the first pipeline joint 4105 and the second pipeline joint 4106 may be adapted to the oxygen therapy instrument end or the patient end. There is no reverse installation of the fire protection device, and the assembly efficiency is greatly improved.
The first pipeline joint 4105 and the second pipeline joint 4106 are used for communicating with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the patient end. The pipeline is generally a catheter which is sleeved outside the first pipeline joint 4105 and the second pipeline joint 4106. In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the catheter and the first pipeline joint 4105 and between the catheter and the second pipeline joint 4106, at least one third clamping portion 4107 is disposed on the outside wall of the first pipeline joint 4105 and/or the outside wall of the second pipeline joint 4106. The shape of the third clamping portion 4107 is toothed. When the catheter is sleeved on the outside wall of the first pipeline joint 4105 and/or the outside wall of the second pipeline joint 4106, the third clamping portion 4107 is clamped with the catheter to ensure airtightness between the catheter and the first pipeline joint 4105 and/or the second pipeline joint 4106, so as to avoid the problem of oxygen leakage. The quantity of the third clamping portions 4107 may be selected based on the size of the first pipeline joint 4105 and the second pipeline joint 4106.
Optionally, the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440 form an integrated structure.
Specifically, the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440 may be integrally molded. A seam does not exist between the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440, thereby greatly improving the structural strength and aesthetic appearance of the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440. In addition, when the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440 are switched between the first position and the second position, the stability of the integrated structure of the first movable rod 420 and the first valve body 440 is stronger, and the problems of jamming and deflection do not occur easily, thus greatly improving the stability of the guard.

The first movable rod 420 is separated from the first valve body 440 once the first fusible member 430 is melted. The first movable rod 420 may also be separated from the first valve body 440, and the first movable rod 420 continues to slide under the action of inertia and extends into the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the patient end, which can also play the role of cutting off the oxygen passage, further improving the safety factor of the fire protection device.

The first positioning member 520 is disposed in the fluid passage 5101 and is connected to the housing 10. The connection mode of the first positioning member 520 and the housing 10 may be clamping, welding or bonding, etc. The first positioning member 520 occupies only a small portion of the space of the fluid passage 5101 and does not impede the transmission of the gas within the fluid passage 5101. The first sealing member 530 is sleeved on the first positioning member 520. The first positioning member 520 is used for fixing the first sealing member 530 in the fluid passage 5101. The first sealing member 530 is arranged coaxially with the first positioning member 520. The common axis of the first sealing member 530 and the first positioning member 520 may also coincide with the long axis of the fluid passage 5101.
The first sealing member 530 has a first state and a second state, when the first sealing member 530 is in the first state, a volume of the first sealing member 530 is small, a gap is provided between an outer surface of the first sealing member 530 and the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101, and a gas may be transmitted normally through this gap. When the first sealing member 530 is in the second state, the volume of the first sealing member 530 increases, and the outer surface of the first sealing member 530 attaches to the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101 with a certain amount of interference, so that the fluid passage 5101 is in the closed state. By switching the first sealing member 530 from the first state to the second state, the fluid passage 5101 may be controlled to switch from the open state to the closed state, thereby blocking the passage of oxygen. The first sealing member 530 has the oxidation resistance characteristics, and is not susceptible to aging and rust even when exposed to an oxygen-rich environment for a long time, thereby preventing an influence on the therapeutic effect, and improving the stability and durability of the fire protection device.
The first sealing member 530 may effect a switch from the first state to the second state based on the temperature. In the absence of a fire, the fire protection device is at the first temperature, which may be any temperature before the volume of the first sealing member 530 increases, or may be a temperature range. At the first temperature, the first sealing member 530 is in the first state as described above and has a small volume. The gap is provided between the outer surface of the first sealing member 530 and the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101, and the fluid passage 5101 is in the open state, through which gas may be normally transmitted.
In the event of a fire, the fire protection device is at a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature. The second temperature may be any temperature that is capable of increasing the volume of the first sealing member 530 or may be a temperature range. At the second temperature, the first sealing member 530 is in the second state as described above. As the volume increases, the outer surface of the first sealing member 530 attaches to the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101 with a certain amount of interference, so that the fluid passage 5101 is in the closed state.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the fifth type of the fire protection device includes the housing 10, the first positioning member 520, and the first sealing member 530. The fluid passage 5101 is disposed in the housing 10. The first opening 5102 and the second opening 5103 are disposed on two opposite sides of the fluid passage 5101, and the first opening 5102 and the second opening 5103 are respectively used for communicating with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the patient end. The first positioning member 520 is disposed in the fluid passage 5101 and is connected to the housing 10. The first sealing member 530 is sleeved on the first positioning member 520, and the first sealing member 530 has oxidation resistance characteristics. When a fire does not occur, the fire protection device is at the first temperature, the first sealing member 530 is in clearance fit with the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101, and the fluid passage 5101 is in the open state. In the event of a fire, the fire protection device is at the second temperature. The first sealing member 530 increases in volume and attaches to the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101, which is in the closed state, so as to cut off the oxygen passage and prevent the oxygen from continuously leaking out and causing the fire to spread, wherein the second temperature is higher than the first temperature. Since the first sealing member 530 has oxidation resistance characteristics, the problem of oxidation of the first sealing member 530 is avoided, and durability and safety factor of the fire protection device are improved.

In the event of a fire, the first sealing member 530 is heated to rapidly expand and increase in volume, and the outer surface of the first sealing member 530 attaches to the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101 with a certain amount of interference, so that the fluid passage 5101 is in the closed state.
By using the first sealing member 530 of the thermally induced shape memory plastic, in the event of a fire, the characteristics of the thermally induced shape memory plastic can be utilized to quickly close the fluid passage 5101 and block the passage of oxygen to avoid the spread of the fire caused by the continued escape of oxygen. At the same time, the thermo-induced shape memory plastic has good oxidation resistance characteristics. Even in the oxygen-rich environment for a long time, it is not easy to cause rust and aging, so as to avoid affecting the treatment effect, and also improve the stability and durability of the fire protection device.

In the absence of a fire (the temperature is low), when the meltable member 540 is in the non-molten state, the meltable member 540 compresses the first sealing member 530, the volume of the first sealing member 530 is reduced, and the elastic potential energy is accumulated. The volume of the first sealing member 530 refers to the volume perpendicular to the direction of the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101. A gap is provided between the outer surface of the first sealing member 530 and the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101 for the flow of gas, and oxygen may normally flow through the gap.
When a fire occurs (the temperature is high), the meltable member 540 is in the molten state. The meltable member 540 may not continue to wrap the first sealing member 530. The equilibrium state of the first sealing member 530 is broken.

The second sealing member 560 has the first state and the second state. When the second sealing member 560 is in the first state, the volume of the second sealing member 560 is small, the gap is provided between an outer surface of the second sealing member 560 and an inner wall of the fluid passage 5101, and the gas may be transmitted normally through this gap. When the second sealing member 560 is in the second state, the volume increases, and the outer surface of the second sealing member 560 attaches to the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101 with a certain amount of interference, so that the fluid passage 5101 is in the closed state. By switching the second sealing member 560 from the first state to the second state, the fluid passage 5101 may be controlled to switch from the open state to the closed state, thereby blocking the passage of oxygen. The second sealing member 560 has oxidation resistance characteristics, and is not susceptible to rust and aging even when exposed to an oxygen-rich environment for a long period of time, thereby preventing an influence on the therapeutic effect, and improving the stability and durability of the fire protection device.
The second sealing member 560 may effect switching of the first state to the second state based on the temperature. In the absence of a fire, the fire protection device is at the first temperature, which may be any temperature before the volume of the second sealing member 560 increases, or may be a temperature range. At the first temperature, the second sealing member 560 is in the above-mentioned first state and has a small volume. The gap is provided between the outer surface of the second sealing member 560 and the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101, and the fluid passage 5101 is in the open state, through which gas may be normally transmitted.
In the event of a fire, the fire protection device is at the second temperature that is higher than the first temperature. The second temperature may be any temperature that is capable of increasing the volume of the second sealing member 560 or may be a temperature range. At the second temperature, the second sealing member 560 is in the second state as described above. As the volume increases, the outer surface of the second sealing member 560 attaches to the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101 with a certain amount of interference, so that the fluid passage 5101 is in the closed state.
The first positioning member 520 is close to the first opening 5102, and the second positioning member 550 is close to the second opening 5103. Correspondingly, the first sealing member 530 is close to the first opening 5102 and the second sealing member 560 is close to the second opening 5103. By providing a positioning member and a sealing member at both ends of the fluid passage 5101, when at least one of the first sealing member 530 and the second sealing member 560 abuts against the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101, the fluid passage 5101 may be closed to prevent oxygen leakage, thereby improving the reliability of the fire protection device.
The first sealing member 530 and the second sealing member 560 of thermally induced shape memory plastic may be used within the fluid passage 5101, or a combination of the elastomer and the meltable member 540 may be used. Accordingly, both of the above embodiments are applicable to a solution in which they are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the fluid passage 5101.

The first positioning member 520 is disposed in the fluid passage 5101 and is connected to the housing 10. The first sealing member 530 is sleeved on the first positioning member 520, and the first sealing member 530 has oxidation resistance characteristics. When a fire does not occur, the fire protection device is at the first temperature, the first sealing member 530 is in clearance fit with the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101, and the fluid passage 5101 is in the open state. In the event of a fire, the fire protection device is at the second temperature. The first sealing member 530 increases in volume and attaches to the inner wall of the fluid passage 5101, which is in the closed state, so as to cut off the oxygen passage and prevent the oxygen from continuously leaking out and causing the fire to spread, wherein the second temperature is higher than the first temperature. Since the first sealing member 530 has oxidation resistance characteristics, the problem of oxidation of the first sealing member 530 is avoided, and durability and safety factor of the fire protection device are improved.

By providing the first groove body 6201 at the first end of the valve body 620, it is possible to provide an installation space for the first elastic member 650 and play a certain limiting role for the first elastic member 650. The first elastic member 650 is less likely to have problems of deflection and jamming, thus improving the stability of the fire protection device.
In the absence of a fire (the temperature is low), the first meltable member 640 is disposed at the first end of the valve body 620 and is clamped with the fixing portion 6104 to support the valve body 620 to be in a first position with the fluid passage 6101 in an open state.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the sixth type of the fire protection device includes the housing 10 and the valve body 620. The housing 10 has the fluid passage 6101 therein, the fluid passage 6101 is provided with the first narrowed portion 6102 and the second narrowed portion 6103, and the valve body 620 is disposed in the fluid passage 6101.

When the valve body 620 is in the first position, the valve body 620 is in clearance fit with the first narrowed portion 6102 and the second narrowed portion 6103 respectively, and the fluid passage 6101 is in the open state. When the valve body 620 is in the second position, the valve body 620 is engaged with the first narrowed portion 6102 and/or the second narrowed portion 6103, and the fluid passage 6101 is in the closed state, thereby cutting off the oxygen passage from continuously escaping and preventing the continued escape of oxygen resulting in the spread of fire. By providing the guide portion 630 on the outside wall of the valve body 620, the guide portion 630 may act as a limit when the valve body 620 slides with respect to the fluid passage 6101, avoiding the problem of deflection and jamming of the valve body 620, ensuring that the valve body 620 may be accurately engaged with the first narrowed portion 6102 and/or the second narrowed portion 6103, and improving the stability of the fire protection device.

The housing 10 has the fluid passage 7101 therein used for communicating with a pipeline of an oxygen therapy instrument or a patient end. Since it is necessary to pass through the fluid passage 7101 during the oxygen transmission, the oxygen passage may be blocked by blocking the fluid passage 7101, so as to minimize the spread of fire caused by oxygen enrichment.
The base 720 is positioned in the fluid passage 7101, and the base 720 and the inner wall of the fluid passage 7101 may be fixed by means of bonding, clamping, etc. For example, a clamping groove is disposed on the inner wall of the fluid passage 7101, and the edge of the base 720 is embedded in the clamping groove to achieve fixation. The base 720 is fixed with respect to the housing 10. The valve body 730 is connected to the base 720. An end surface of a side of the base 720 facing towards the valve body 730 is provided with a recessed groove for positioning the valve body 730. The end of the valve body 730 is inserted into the recessed groove to achieve positioning assembly, and the valve body 730 may move in the fluid passage 7101. An elastic member 740 is provided between the valve body 730 and the base 720. Both ends of the elastic member 740 are in contact with the valve body 730 and the base 720, respectively, which may provide a driving force for the movement of the valve body 730. The elastic member 740 may be a metal spring such as iron, copper, alloy, etc. or a soft rubber such as silica gel, rubber, etc. which may store the elastic potential energy.
One end of the valve body 730 away from the base 720 is provided with a sealing portion 7301. A narrowed portion 7102 is disposed in the fluid passage 7101. The inner diameters of the fluid passage 7101 at the two ends of the narrowed portion 7102 are different. The sealing portion 7301 and the narrowed portion 7102 are oppositely arranged and matched in shape. When the valve body 730 drives the sealing portion 7301 to move to the narrowed portion 7102, the fluid passage 7101 may be blocked by means of a snap-fit sealing between the sealing portion 7301 and the narrowed portion 7102. The sealing portion 7301 may be made of a flexible sealing material, such as silicone, rubber, etc. The sealing portion 7301 may also be made of a rigid material. A flexible sealing ring is disposed only at the position where the sealing portion 7301 is close to the narrowed portion 7102. When the sealing portion 7301 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 10 at the narrowed portion 7102, the flexible sealing ring is embedded in the gap between the sealing portion 7301 and the narrowed portion 7102 to achieve sealing.
The meltable collar 750 is made of a material that easily melts or burns when heated, and may be made of an elastic material such as silicone, rubber, etc. or may be made of nylon wire, etc. When the elastic member 740 is compressed by the base 720 and the valve body 730, the elastic member 740 is elastically deformed. In the direction of the elastic deformation, the meltable collar 750 is nested in the whole composed of the base 720, the elastic member 740 and at least part of the valve body 730. The meltable collar 750 may restrain the base 720, the elastic member 740 and the valve body 730. By shortening the distance between the base 720 and the valve body 730, the elastic member 740 is in a compressed state to accumulate the elastic potential energy. Under the constraint of the meltable collar 750, in the axial direction of the fluid passage 7101, a length of the whole composed of the base 720, the elastic member 740 and the valve body 730 is relatively short, so that a gap may be formed between the sealing portion 7301 and the narrowed portion 7102 of the valve body 730. The oxygen may circulate normally, so as to ensure the normal operation of the apparatus.
In the event of a fire, the fire protection device is attacked by a high temperature. The meltable collar 750 is fused by the heating, the restriction function is lost, and at least part of the elastic potential energy is released by the elastic member 740. Since the base 720 is in a fixed state with respect to the housing 10, the elastic member 740 pushes against the valve body 730 which is displaced with respect to the base 720, so that the sealing portion 7301 moves to the narrowed portion 7102 and is engaged with the narrowed portion 7102, thereby blocking the fluid passage 7101 and cutting off the air passage.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base 720, the valve body 730, the elastic member 740 and the meltable collar 750 together constitute a trigger system for the valve body 730. When the meltable collar 750 is not fused, under the constraint of the meltable collar 750, the elastic member 740 is in a compressed state, a gap is provided between the sealing portion 7301 of the valve body 730 and the narrowed portion 7102 of the fluid passage 7101 for the fluid to pass through, and oxygen may normally pass through. After the meltable collar 750 is fused, the elastic member 740 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy and pushes against the valve body 730, causing the sealing portion 7301 to snap-fit with the narrowed portion 7102 to block the fluid passage 7101. Since the meltable collar 750 itself is easily fused when heated, the fusing speed is further accelerated under the elastic force of the elastic member 740, thereby increasing the triggering speed of the valve body 730, reducing the risk of fire spreading due to the failure of triggering in time, thereby improving the safety factor of the fire protection device.

The inner diameter of the fluid passage 7101 between the first narrowed portion and the second narrowed portion is larger, and the inner diameter of the fluid passage 7101 at both sides is smaller. An end of the first valve body 7304 away from the base 720 is provided with a first sealing portion 73041, and the first sealing portion 73041 is arranged opposite to the first narrowed portion. An end of the second valve body 7305 away from the base 720 is provided with a second sealing portion 73051, and the second sealing portion 73051 is arranged opposite to the second narrowed portion. When the first valve body 7304 drives the first sealing portion 73041 to move to the first narrowed portion, the fluid passage 7101 may be blocked by snap-fit sealing of the first sealing portion 73041 with the first narrowed portion. Similarly, when the second valve body 7305 drives the second sealing portion 73051 to move to the second narrowed portion, the fluid passage 7101 may be blocked by snap-fit sealing of the second sealing portion 73051 with the second narrowed portion. With the structure of the double valve body 730, the function of blocking the air passage may be realized at both ends of the fluid passage 7101, which greatly improves the reliability of the fire protection device.
The meltable collar 750 is nested on the whole composed of the base 720, the first elastic member 7401, the second elastic member 7402, the first valve body 7304, and the second valve body 7305 to restrain the base 720, the first elastic member 7401, the second elastic member 7402, the first valve body 7304, and the second valve body 7305.
When a fire occurs, the fire protection device is attacked by a high temperature, the meltable collar 750 is heated to melt and lose the restraint function. The first elastic member 7401 and the second elastic member 7402 release at least part of the elastic potential energy. The first elastic member 7401 pushes against the first valve body 7304 to make the first sealing portion 73041 snap-fit with the first narrowed portion. The second elastic member 7402 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy and pushes against the second valve body 7305, causing the second sealing portion 73051 to snap-fit with the second narrowed portion, thereby blocking the fluid passage 7101 and cutting off the gas path.

The second positioning portion 7204 is embedded in the second mounting sleeve 73052, and the second positioning portion 7204 is in sliding fit with the second mounting sleeve 73052. The stability of the assembly between the first valve body 7304, the second valve body 7305 and the base 720 may be improved by using the cooperation of the positioning portions and the mounting sleeve. When the first valve body 7304 and the second valve body 7305 slide with respect to the base 720, the problem of deflection and jamming may not easily occur.

Similarly, the third support structure 73053 may also be a structure such as a boss, a flanging, etc. The second elastic member 7402 may be a metal spring. The second elastic member 7402 is sleeved on an outer side wall of the second mounting sleeve 73052. One end of the second elastic member 7402 abuts against the base 720, and the other end of the second elastic member 7402 abuts against the third support structure 73053.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, as shown in
Herein, the first limiting portion 7206 and the third limiting portion 73044 are arranged opposite to each other, and form a first limiting space with the outer side wall of the first mounting sleeve 73042. The first limiting space is used for accommodating the first elastic member 7401. Under the limiting action of the first limiting portion 7206 and the third limiting portion 73044, the first elastic member 7401 may still maintain a relatively stable state when elastically deformed, so that the problems of deflection and jamming do not easily occur.
Similarly, the second limiting portion 7207 and the fourth limiting portion 73054 are arranged opposite to each other, and form a second limiting space with the outer side wall of the second mounting sleeve 73052. The second limiting space is used for accommodating the second elastic member 7402. Under the limiting action of the second limiting portion 7207 and the fourth limiting portion 73054, the second elastic member 7402 may still maintain a relatively stable state when elastically deformed, so that the problems of deflection and jamming does not easily occur.

Embodiments of the present disclosure also disclose a seventh type of a ventilation treatment apparatus, including the seventh type of the fire protection device.
Specifically, the seventh type of the ventilation treatment apparatus a control device, an oxygen therapy instrument and a gas pipeline. The control device is used for controlling the oxygen supply amount, operation time, etc. of the oxygen therapy instrument. The control device may be an electronic device or a component in the electronic device, such as an integrated circuit or a chip. The electronic device may be a terminal or may be a device other than a terminal. Illustratively, the electronic device may be a cell phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palmtop computer, a mobile Internet appliance, a robot, a wearable device, etc. and embodiments of the present disclosure are not particularly limited.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the seventh type of the ventilation and treatment apparatus uses the seventh type of the fire protection device. In the fire protection device, the base 720, the valve body 730, the elastic member 740 and the meltable collar 750 together constitute a trigger system for the valve body 730. When the meltable collar 750 is not fused, under the constraint of the meltable collar 750, the elastic member 740 is in a compressed state, a gap is provided between the sealing portion 7301 of the valve body 730 and the narrowed portion 7102 of the fluid passage 7101 for the fluid to pass through, and oxygen may normally pass through. After the meltable collar 750 is fused, the elastic member 740 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy and pushes against the valve body 730, causing the sealing portion 7301 to snap-fit with the narrowed portion 7102 to block the fluid passage 7101. Since the meltable collar 750 itself is easily fused when heated, the fusing speed is further accelerated under the elastic force of the elastic member 740, thereby increasing the triggering speed of the valve body 730, reducing the risk of fire spreading due to delayed triggering, thereby improving the safety factor of the fire protection device.
As shown in
Specifically, as a main 8101 frame of the fire protection device, the housing 10 may be made of a material that is not easily chemically reacted with oxygen and is resistant to high temperatures, such as stainless steel or a ceramic material. It may also be made of fireproof and flame-retardant materials. The fluid passage is disposed in the housing 10, and both ends of the fluid passage have openings. The fluid passage is used for communicating with a pipeline of an oxygen therapy instrument or a patient end. Since it is necessary to pass through the fluid passage during the oxygen transmission, the oxygen passage may be blocked by blocking the fluid passage, so as to minimize the spread of fire caused by oxygen enrichment.
The inner shell 820 is disposed within the fluid passage. The inner shell 820 is preferably disposed at an intermediate position of the fluid passage. The outer wall of the inner shell 820 is in a sealed connection with the inner wall of the fluid passage. The inner shell 820 and the housing 10 may be assembled by means of bonding, ultrasonic welding, etc. The inner shell 820 itself is further provided with a through-hole 8201. When oxygen is introduced into the fluid passage, the oxygen may only pass through the through-hole 8201, and cannot pass through the assembly gap between the inner shell 820 and the housing 10. Therefore, only the through-hole 8201 on the inner shell 820 needs to be closed to realize gas path blocking. In the absence of fire, oxygen may be normally transmitted through the through-hole 8201. The shape of the through-hole 8201 may be circular, elliptical, semicircular, etc.
The valve body 830 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fluid passage. The valve body 830 has a first position and a second position relative to the fluid passage. When the valve body 830 is in the first position, a gap is provided between the valve body 830 and the through-hole 8201 of the inner shell 820 for the fluid to pass through. Oxygen may normally be transmitted through the through-hole 8201. When the valve body 830 is in the second position, the valve body 830 abuts against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201 so that the fluid passage is blocked, and the fluid passage is blocked by the cooperation of the valve body 830 and the through-hole 8201. One end of the valve body 830 for abutting the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201 may be made of a flexible sealing material, such as silica gel, rubber, etc. The valve body 830 may also be made of a rigid material, and a flexible sealing ring is disposed only at one end of the valve body 830 close to the through-hole 8201. When the valve body 830 abuts against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201, the sealing ring is embedded in the gap between the valve body 830 and the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201 to achieve sealing.
An elastic member 840 is disposed between the valve body 830 and the inner wall of the fluid passage for driving the valve body 830 from the first position to the second position. The elastic member 840 may be a metal spring such as iron, copper, alloy, etc. or a soft rubber such as silica gel, rubber, etc. which may store the elastic potential energy. The inner walls at both ends of the fluid passage are provided with at least one raised support portion 8100, which can be snap-fitted with the other end of the valve body 830, so that the valve body 830 is positioned in the first position, ensuring the conduction of the fluid passage in the absence of a fire. The support portion 8100 may be made of a material with a relatively low melting point, such as PP, PVC, etc.
When the valve body 830 is in the first position, the elastic member 840 will be pressed by the inner wall of the fluid passage and the valve body 830, and is in a compressed state to accumulate the elastic potential energy. When the support portion 8100 loses the clamping action on the valve body 830, the force balance is broken, and the valve body 830 moves to the second position under the elastic force of the elastic member 840, and abuts against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201, so that the air passage is blocked.
In the event of a fire, the valve body 830 may be activated by the followings. Firstly, the support portion 8100 melts. The support portion 8100 loses the clamping action on the valve body 830. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 840, the valve body 830 moves to a second position to abut against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201, so as to block the fluid passage. Secondly, one end of the valve body 830 close to the support portion 8100 is melted, and the end of the valve body 830 close to the support portion 8100 may be made of a material with a lower melting point, such as PP, PVC, etc. After the end of the valve body 830 close to the support portion 8100 is fused, the support portion 8100 will also lose the clamping action on the valve body 830. Under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 840, the valve body 830 moves to the second position to abut against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201, so as to block the fluid passage. Thirdly, the support portion 8100 and the end of the valve body 830 close to the support portion 8100 melt at the same time. The support portion 8100 loses the clamping action on the valve body 830 and may also realize fluid passage blocking.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the triggering system composed of the support portion 8100, the elastic member 840 and the valve body 830, when any one of the valve body 830 and the support portion 8100 melts, may move the valve body 830 to the second position in time and abut against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201, thereby blocking the gas path, increasing the trigger speed of the valve body 830, reducing the risk of fire spreading due to the delayed triggering S, and thus improving the safety factor of the fire protection device. Also, the fire protection device has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and also reduces production costs and installation costs.
Optionally, the support portion 8100 is disposed on the inner wall of the fluid passage close to the opening.
Specifically, the support portion 8100 and the inner wall at the opening of the fluid passage may be assembled by bonding or welding, or the support portion 8100 and the housing may be integrally formed. The support portion 8100 is disposed on the inner wall of the fluid passage close to the opening. Since a fire usually occurs outside the fire protection device, the opening of the fluid passage will be attacked by the fire. The support portion 8100 is disposed on the inner wall of the fluid passage close to the opening, so that the support portion 8100 and the end of the valve body 830 close to the support portion 8100 will be at a high temperature state and fused firstly, improving the timeliness of triggering the valve body 830.
Optionally, with reference to
Specifically, the valve body 830 includes the clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303. The clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303 are of a split-type structure and have the assembly gap through which oxygen can pass, so as to reduce the air resistance brought by the valve body 830 and improve the oxygen flux and comfortableness. The clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303 are respectively slidably connected to the inner wall of the fluid passage. When one end of the clamping member 8302 is clamped with the support portion 8100, the positioning and fixing of the clamping member 8302 can be achieved, so that the clamping member 8302 is in a stationary state. The clamping member 8302 may achieve clamping and fitting with the support portion 8100 through a structure such as a clamping hook and a clamping round head. The elastic member 840 is arranged between the clamping member 8302 and the inner wall of the fluid passage. Under the compression of the clamping member 8302 and the inner wall of the fluid passage, the elastic member 840 accumulates the elastic potential energy. The sealing member 8303 is in clearance fit with the through-hole 8201 of the inner shell 820. When in use, oxygen may be normally transmitted through the gap between the sealing member 8303 and the through-hole 8201 of the inner shell 820. The sealing member 8303 may be made of flexible sealing materials, such as silicone, rubber, etc. The sealing member 8303 may also be made of a rigid material. A flexible sealing ring is disposed only on one side of the sealing member 8303 close to the through-hole 8201. When the sealing member 8303 abuts against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201, the sealing ring is embedded in the gap between the sealing member 8303 and the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201 to achieve sealing.
The above-mentioned fusible portion 8301 is disposed on the clamping member 8302. The fusible portion 8301 may be made of a material with a relatively low melting point, such as PP, PVC, etc. The fusible portion may also be realized by structural design. For example, the fusible portion 8301 adopts a structure with a relatively small diameter or thickness, and is easily fused. After the fusible portion 8301 is fused, the clamping member 8302 may be broken at the fusible portion 8301. When any one of the fusible portion 8301 and the support portion 8100 melts, the support portion 8100 loses the clamping action on the clamping member 8302. Thus, when the elastic member 840 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy, the other end of the clamping member 8302 pushes against the sealing member 8303 under the elastic force, so that the sealing member 8303 abuts against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201, and the fluid passage is blocked.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, one end of the clamping member 8302 close to the sealing member 8303 is provided with the raised first guide portion 83021. The first guide portion 83021 may be a sliding plate, a boss or the like. A quantity of the first guide portions 83021 may be selected according to practical requirements. The material of the first guide portion 83021 may be the same as that of the clamping member 8302, and is made of a material with fire-retardant and wear-resistant characteristics. The first guide portion 83021 and the clamping member 8302 may have an integrated structure, and have good structural strength and stability. The first guide portion 83021 may be formed separately from the clamping member 8302 and assembled by bonding or welding. The first guide 83021 has two functions. Firstly, a stable support point may be provided for the elastic member 840. Secondly, the first guide portion 83021 may be in sliding fit with the inner wall of the fluid passage to play the role of guiding and positioning, so as to avoid the problems of jamming and deflection of the clamping member 8302 when moved, and improve the stability of triggering of the valve body 830.
The elastic member 840 may be a metal spring, and the metal spring is sleeved on the clamping member 8302. When the clamping member 8302 is clamped with the meltable support, both ends of the elastic member 840 respectively abut against the first guide portion 83021 and the inner wall of the fluid passage, and are in a compressed state to accumulate the elastic potential energy. When the support portion 8100 and/or the fusible portion 8301 are in the molten state, the support portion 8100 loses the clamping action on the clamping member 8302. The elastic member 840 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy to drive the sealing member 8303 into contact with the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201 so that the fluid passage is blocked.
By providing the elastic member 840, when the support portion 8100 and/or the fusible portion 8301 are melted, it may provide driving force for the clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303, so that the sealing member 8303 moves rapidly and abuts against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201. At the same time, the elastic member 840 is sleeved on the clamping member 8302. It not only saves the space inside the fluid passage, but also ensures the stability of the assembly of the elastic member 840.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, the fluid passage includes the main body 8101 and the opening portions 8102 provided at both ends of the main body 8101. The opening portion 8102 is used for communicating with a pipeline of a patient end or an oxygen therapy instrument end. For the convenience of assembly, the inner diameter of the opening portion 8102 is less than the inner diameter of the main body 8101, forming a structure with thick in the middle and thin at the ends. The main body 8101 transitions from the middle to both ends, and narrows at the connection with the opening portion 8102 to form the shoulder 8103 used for supporting the elastic member 840.
The support portion 8100 is disposed on the inner wall of the opening portion 8102, and the sealing member 8303 is disposed inside the main body 8101. The sealing member 8303 is far away from the support portion 8100 and is not easily affected by the high temperature of combustion, which is beneficial to improve the performance of the sealing member 8303 and improve the stability of the fire protection device.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, the clamping member 8302 is provided with a raised second guide portion 83022. The second guide portion 83022 may have a structure such as a sliding plate and a boss. The second guide portion 83022 may slidably fit with the inner wall of the opening portion 8102 to play a guiding and positioning role, so as to avoid the problems of jamming and deflection of the clamping member 8302 when moved, and improve the triggering stability of the valve body 830.
Optionally, as shown in
In particular, the side of the sealing member 8303 facing towards the clamping member 8302 has an end surface, and the clamping member 8302 may push against the sealing member 8303 by contacting the end surface of the sealing member 8303. The peripheral side of the end surface extends towards the clamping member 8302 to form a third guide portion 83031. The third guide portion 83031 is capable of sliding fit with the inner wall of the fluid passage, serving as a guide and positioning function, avoiding the problems of jamming and deflection of the sealing member 8303 when moved, and improving the stability of triggering of the valve body 830.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, the third guide portion 83031 is combined with the end surface to form a limiting groove 83032. The limiting groove 83032 is U-shaped, and has an opening side facing towards the clamping member 8302. The clamping member 8302 extends towards one end of the sealing member 8303 to form a limiting portion 83023 which may have a boss structure. When the clamping member 8302 pushes against the sealing member 8303, the limiting portion 83023 is at least partially embedded in the limiting groove 83032, so as to avoid the problems of shaking and blocking when the clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303 are moved, and improve the triggering stability of the valve body 830.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, as a variant, the raised fourth guide portion 83033 may also be provided by extending at the outer side wall of the sealing member 8303. The fourth guide portion 83033 may be a sliding plate, a boss or the like. The fourth guide portion 83033 may be in sliding fit with the inner wall of the fluid passage to play the role of guiding and positioning, so as to avoid the problems of jamming and deflection of the sealing member 303 when moved, and improve the triggering stability of the valve body 830.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, in order to ensure the stability of the assembly between the clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303, shaking is avoided. With regard to the problem of deflection, a groove 83024 may be disposed on the clamping member 8302. A boss 83034 may be disposed on the sealing member 8303. The groove 83024 is arranged opposite to the boss 83034 and has a matched shape.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, the assembly gap is provided between the housing 10 and the inner shell 820. In order to prevent oxygen from passing through the assembly gap between the housing 10 and the inner shell 820 in a case that the through-hole 8201 of the inner shell 820 is closed, the sealing structure 860 is disposed in the assembly gap between the housing 10 and the inner shell 820. The sealing structure 860 may be a silicone sealing ring, a rubber sealing ring, etc. The sealing structure 860 fills the assembly gap under the compression of the housing 10 and the inner shell 820 to achieve a sealed connection between the housing 10 and the inner shell 820.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, the support portion 8100 is used to support the valve body 830 in the first position. The stability of the clamping between the support portion 8100 and the valve body 830 directly affects the performance of the fire protection device. In order to avoid the problem that the clamping action between the support portion 8100 and the valve body 830 fails and the fluid passage is erroneously blocked, the quantity of the support portions 8100 is two or more. The support portions 8100 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the opening portion 8102 to achieve multiple clamping of the clamping portion of the valve body 830, thereby improving the stability of the clamping. At the same time, the problem that the valve body 830 deflects due to uneven force may also be avoided, so as to improve the stability of triggering of the valve body 830.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, the fire protection device includes two first and second valve bodies symmetrically disposed in the fluid passage, the first valve body and the second valve body have the same structure and are respectively located on both sides of the through-hole 8201. The elastic members 840 are disposed between the first valve body and the inner wall of the fluid passage and between the second valve body and the inner wall of the fluid passage. The support portions 8100 are respectively disposed in the opening portions 8102 at both ends of the main body 8101 for being clamped with the first valve body and the second valve body, respectively.
The fire protection device adopts the structure of double valve body 830. Any valve body 830 may be triggered to realize the blocking of the fluid passage, which ensures the timeliness of triggering the fire protection device. When installing, it is not necessary to distinguish the port sequence of the fire protection device. Any opening end may be assembled and communicated with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the patient end, which greatly improves the installation convenience.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, when the first valve body or the second valve body adopts a split-type structure, the clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303 are respectively included. When not pushed against by the clamping member 8302, a relative movement occurs between the sealing member 8303 and the through-hole 8201 of the inner shell 820. The sealing member 8303 makes an unnecessary contact with the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201 of the inner shell 820, thereby easily causing the gas path to be blocked and affecting normal ventilation. Therefore, the elastic support 870 is provided between the first valve body and the second valve body. The elastic support 870 may be a metal spring such as iron, copper, an alloy, etc. or a soft rubber such as silica gel, rubber, etc. which can store elastic potential energy. The elastic support 870 passes through the through-hole 8201 so as not to block the normal transmission of oxygen. Two ends of the elastic support 870 respectively abut against the first valve body and the second valve body so as to support the two sealing members 8303 and prevent the sealing members 8303 from contacting the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201 in a normal use state.
The elastic force of the elastic support 870 is less than the elastic force of the elastic member 840. When the support portion 8100 and/or the fusible portion 8301 are in the molten state, the support portion 8100 loses the clamping action on the clamping member 8302, the elastic member 840 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy, and the elastic support 870 does not obstruct the movement of the sealing member 8303, so that the sealing member 8303 may smoothly abut against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201 and the fluid passage is in a blocked state.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, by providing the first mounting groove 880 and the second mounting groove 890, the elastic support 870 may be accommodated, and also play a limiting function that the elastic support 870 is prevented from being shaken or deflected.
In a second aspect, as shown in
Specifically, as a main 8101 frame of the fire protection device, the housing 10 may be made of a material that is not easily chemically reacted with oxygen and is resistant to high temperatures, such as stainless steel or a ceramic material. It may also be made of fireproof and flame-retardant materials. The fluid passage is disposed in the housing 10, and both ends of the fluid passage have openings. The fluid passage is used for communicating with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the patient end. Since it is necessary to pass through the fluid passage during the oxygen transmission, the oxygen passage may be blocked by blocking the fluid passage, so as to minimize the spread of fire caused by oxygen enrichment.
The valve body 830 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fluid passage. The valve body 830 has the first position and the second position relative to the fluid passage. When the valve body 830 is in the first position, a gap is provided between the valve body 830 and the fluid passage for the gas to pass through, and oxygen may normally be transmitted through the fluid passage. When the valve body 830 is in the second position, the fluid passage is in a blocked state. Specially, the blocking of the fluid passage may be achieved by the cooperation of the valve body 830 and the inner wall or opening of the fluid passage. For example, when the valve body 830 is in the second position, the valve body abuts against a shoulder of the fluid passage to block the fluid passage.
The one end of the valve body 830 used for sealing and blocking the fluid passage may be made of a flexible sealing material, such as silica gel, rubber, etc. The valve body 830 may also be made of a rigid material, with a flexible sealing ring disposed only at one end of the valve body 830 for sealing the blocked fluid passage.
The inner walls of the two ends of the fluid passage are provided with at least one raised meltable support portion 850. The meltable support portion 850 may be clamped with the other end of the valve body 830, so that the valve body 830 is positioned in the first position, ensuring that the fluid passage is unobstructed in the case of no fire. The meltable support portion 850 may be made of a material with a relatively low melting point, such as PP, PVC, etc. and is easily fused when exposed to a high temperature.
In the event of a fire, the meltable support portion 850 melts, the meltable support portion 850 loses its clamping action on the valve body 830. The valve body 830 moves to the second position to block the fluid passage.
In the embodiment of the present application, the meltable support portion 850 is used. When the meltable support portion 850 melts, the valve body 830 may be moved to the second position in time and the gas path can be blocked. Since the meltable support portion 850 is made of a fusible material, the response speed is relatively fast, the triggering speed of the valve body 830 is increased. The risk of fire spreading due to the triggering not being timely is reduced, and thus the safety factor of the fire protection device is improved. Also, the fire protection device has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and which also reduces production costs and installation costs.
Optionally, the fire protection device further includes an elastic member 840. The elastic member 840 is provided between the valve body 830 and the inner wall of the fluid passage. The elastic member 840 is in a compressed state when the valve body 830 is in the first position. The elastic member 840 is used to provide an elastic driving force when the valve body 830 is switched from the first position to the second position.
Specifically, the elastic member 840 is provided between the valve body 830 and the inner wall of the fluid passage for driving the valve body 830 to move from the first position to the second position. The elastic member 840 may be a metal spring such as iron, copper, alloy, etc. or a soft rubber such as silica gel, rubber, etc. which may store the elastic potential energy.
When the valve body 830 is in the first position, the elastic member 840 will be pressed by the inner wall of the fluid passage and the valve body 830, and is in a compressed state to accumulate the elastic potential energy. When the support portion loses the clamping action on the valve body 830, the force balance is broken, and the valve body 830 moves to the second position under the elastic force of the elastic member 840, so that the air passage is blocked. The triggering speed of the valve body 830 is further increased under the effect of the elastic member 840.
Optionally, with reference to
Specifically, the valve body 830 includes the clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303. The clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303 are of a split-type structure and have an assembly gap through which oxygen can pass, so as to reduce the air resistance brought by the valve body 830 and improve the oxygen flux and comfortableness. The clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303 are respectively slidably connected to the inner wall of the fluid passage. When one end of the clamping member 8302 is clamped with the meltable support portion 850, the positioning and fixing of the clamping member 8302 can be achieved, so that the clamping member 8302 is in a stationary state. The clamping member 8302 may achieve clamping and fitting with the meltable support portion 850 through a structure such as a clamping hook and a clamping round head. The elastic member 840 is arranged between the clamping member 8302 and the inner wall of the fluid passage. Under the compression of the clamping member 8302 and the inner wall of the fluid passage, the elastic member 840 accumulates the elastic potential energy. The sealing member 8303 may be made of a flexible sealing material, such as silicone, rubber, etc. The sealing member 8303 may also be made of a rigid material, with a flexible sealing ring disposed on only one side of the sealing member 8303.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, one end of the clamping member 8302 close to the sealing member 8303 is provided with a raised first guide portion 83021. The first guide portion 83021 may be a sliding plate, a boss or the like. The quantity of the first guide portions 83021 may be selected according to practical requirements. The material of the first guide portion 83021 may be the same as that of the clamping member 8302, and is made of a material with fire-retardant and wear-resistant properties. The first guide portion 83021 and the clamping member 8302 may be of an integrated structure, and have good structural strength and stability. The first guide portion 83021 may be formed separately from the clamping member 8302 and assembled by bonding or welding. The first guide 83021 has two functions. Firstly, a stable support point may be provided for the elastic member 840. Secondly, the first guide portion 83021 may be in sliding fit with the inner wall of the fluid passage to play the role of guiding and positioning, so as to avoid the problems of jamming and deflection of the clamping member 8302 when moved, and improve the stability of triggering of the valve body 830.
The elastic member 840 may be a metal spring, and the metal spring is sleeved on the clamping member 8302. When the clamping member 8302 is clamped with the meltable support, both ends of the elastic member 840 respectively abut against the first guide portion 83021 and the inner wall of the fluid passage, and are in a compressed state to accumulate the elastic potential energy. When the meltable support portion 850 is in the molten state, the meltable support portion 850 loses its clamping action on the clamping member 8302 and the elastic member 840 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy to drive the valve body 830 in the second position, so that the fluid passage is in the blocked state.
By providing the elastic member 840, it is possible to provide a driving force for the clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303 to rapidly move the sealing member 8303 and block the gas path when the meltable support portion 850 is melted. At the same time, the elastic member 840 is sleeved on the clamping member 8302. It not only saves the space inside the fluid passage, but also ensures the stability of the assembly of the elastic member 840.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, the fluid passage includes the main body 8101 and the opening portions 8102 provided at both ends of the main body 8101. The opening portion 8102 is used for communicating with the pipeline of the patient end or the oxygen therapy instrument end. For the convenience of assembly, the inner diameter of the opening portion 8102 is less than the inner diameter of the main body 8101, forming a structure with thick in the middle and thin at the ends. The main body 8101 transitions from the middle to both ends, and narrows at the connection with the opening portion 8102 to form a shoulder 8103 used for supporting the elastic member 840.
The meltable support portion 850 is disposed on the inner wall of the opening portion 8102, and the sealing member 8303 is disposed inside the main body 8101. The sealing member 8303 is far away from the meltable support portion 850 and is not easily affected by the high temperature of combustion, which is beneficial to improve the performance of the sealing member 8303 and improve the stability of the fire protection device.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, the clamping member 8302 is provided with the raised second guide portion 83022. The second guide portion 83022 may have a structure such as a sliding plate and a boss. The second guide portion 83022 may slidably fit with the inner wall of the opening portion 8102 to play a guiding and positioning role, so as to avoid the problems of jamming and deflection of the clamping member 8302 when moved, and improve the triggering stability of the valve body 830.
Optionally, as shown in
In particular, the side of the sealing member 8303 facing towards the clamping member 8302 has an end surface, and the clamping member 8302 may push against the sealing member 8303 by contacting the end surface of the sealing member 8303. The peripheral side of the end surface extends towards the clamping member 302 to form the third guide portion 83031. The third guide portion 83031 is capable of sliding fit with the inner wall of the fluid passage, serving as a guide and positioning function, avoiding the problems of jamming and deflection of the sealing member 8303 when moved, and improving the stability of triggering of the valve body 830.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, the third guide portion 83031 is combined with the end surface to form the limiting groove 83032. The limiting groove 83032 is U-shaped, and has an opening side facing towards the clamping member 8302. The clamping member 8302 extends towards one end of the sealing member 8303 to form the limiting portion 83023 which may have a boss structure. When the clamping member 8302 pushes against the sealing member 8303, the limiting portion 83023 is at least partially embedded in the limiting groove 83032, so as to avoid the problems of shaking and blocking when the clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303 are moved, and improve the triggering stability of the valve body 830.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, as a variant, the raised fourth guide portion 83033 may also be provided by extending at the outer side wall of the sealing member 8303. The fourth guide portion 83033 may be a sliding plate, a boss or the like. The fourth guide portion 83033 may be in sliding fit with the inner wall of the fluid passage to play the role of guiding and positioning, so as to avoid the problems of jamming and deflection of the sealing member 8303 when moved, and improve the triggering stability of the valve body 830.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, in order to ensure the stability of the assembly between the clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303, shaking is avoided. With regard to the problem of deflection, the groove 83024 may be disposed on the clamping member 8302. The boss 83034 may be disposed on the sealing member 8303. The groove 83024 is arranged opposite to the boss 83034 and has a matched shape.
As shown in
Specifically, as a main 8101 frame of the fire protection device, the housing 10 may be made of a material that is not easily chemically reacted with oxygen and is resistant to high temperatures, such as stainless steel or a ceramic material. It may also be made of fireproof and flame-retardant materials. The fluid passage is disposed in the housing 10, and both ends of the fluid passage have openings. The fluid passage is used for communicating with a pipeline of an oxygen therapy instrument or a patient end. Since it is necessary to pass through the fluid passage during the oxygen transmission, the oxygen passage may be blocked by blocking the fluid passage, so as to minimize the spread of fire caused by oxygen enrichment.
The valve body 830 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fluid passage. The valve body 830 has the first position and the second position relative to the fluid passage. When the valve body 830 is in the first position, the gap is provided between the valve body 830 and the fluid passage for the gas to pass through, and oxygen may normally be transmitted through the fluid passage. When the valve body 830 is in the second position, the fluid passage is in a blocked state. Specially, the blocking of the fluid passage may be achieved by the cooperation of the valve body 830 and the inner wall or opening of the fluid passage. For example, when the valve body 830 is in the second position, the valve body abuts against a shoulder of the fluid passage to block the fluid passage.
The end of the valve body 830 used for sealing and blocking the fluid passage may be made of a flexible sealing material, such as silica gel, rubber, etc. The valve body 830 may also be made of a rigid material, with a flexible sealing ring disposed only at the end of the valve body 830 for sealing and blocking the fluid passage. The inner walls at both ends of the fluid passage are provided with at least one raised support portion 8100, which can be clamped with the other end of the valve body 830, so that the valve body 830 is positioned in the first position, ensuring the conduction of the fluid passage in the absence of a fire. The support portion 8100 may be made of a material with a relatively low melting point, such as PP, PVC, etc.
The end of the valve body 830 close to the support portion 8100 is provided with the fusible portion 8301. Herein, the fusible portion 8301 may be made of a material with a relatively low melting point, such as PP, PVC, etc. The fusible portion may also be realized through structural design. For example, the fusible portion 8301 has a structure with a relatively small diameter or thickness, and is easily fused. After the fusible portion 8301 is fused, the support portion 8100 will also lose the clamping action on the valve body 830, and the valve body 830 moves to the second position to realize the blocking of the fluid passage.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing the fusible portion 8301, when the fusible portion 8301 melts, the clamping action between the support portion 8100 and the valve body 830 fails, so that the valve body 830 may move to the second position in time and block the gas path. Since the fusible portion 8301 is made of a fusible material, the response speed is relatively fast, and the triggering speed of the valve body 830 is improved. The risk of fire spreading due to the triggering not being timely is reduced, and thus the safety factor of the fire protection device is improved. Also, the fire protection device has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and which also reduces production costs and installation costs.
Optionally, an outer diameter of the fusible portion 8301 is less than an outer diameter of the valve body in other locations.
Specifically, the fusible portion 8301 may be preferentially melted compared to other positions of the valve body 830 by structural design. The shape of the valve body 830 is a cylinder-like shape. When the valve body 830 is manufactured, the outer diameter at the fusible portion 8301 is made less than the outer diameter of the valve body 830 at other positions. When the valve body 830 is attacked by high temperature, the fusible portion 8301 is fused preferentially because the outer diameter at the fusible portion 8301 is less, thereby disabling the clamping action between the support portion 8100 and the valve body 830 and greatly improving the triggering speed of the valve body 830.
Optionally, the fire protection device further includes an elastic member. The elastic member is provided between the valve body and the inner wall of the fluid passage. The elastic member is in a compressed state when the valve body is in the first position. The elastic member serves to provide an elastic driving force when the valve body is switched from the first position to the second position.
Specifically, the elastic member 840 is provided between the valve body 830 and the inner wall of the fluid passage for driving the valve body 830 from the first position to the second position. The elastic member 840 may be a metal spring such as iron, copper, alloy, etc. or a soft rubber such as silica gel, rubber, etc. which may store the elastic potential energy.
When the valve body 830 is in the first position, the elastic member 840 will be pressed by the inner wall of the fluid passage and the valve body 830, and is in a compressed state to accumulate the elastic potential energy. When the fusible portion 8301 melts and the support portion loses the clamping action on the valve body 830, the force balance is broken, and the valve body 830 moves to the second position under the elastic force of the elastic member 840, so that the air passage is blocked. The triggering speed of the valve body 830 is further increased by the elastic member 840.
Optionally, with reference to
Specifically, the valve body 830 includes the clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303. The clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303 are of a split-type structure and have the assembly gap through which oxygen can pass, so as to reduce the air resistance brought by the valve body 830 and improve the oxygen flux and comfortableness. The clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303 are respectively slidably connected to the inner wall of the fluid passage. When one end of the clamping member 8302 is clamped with the support portion 8100, the positioning and fixing of the clamping member 8302 can be achieved, so that the clamping member 8302 is in a stationary state. The clamping member 8302 may achieve clamping and fitting with the support portion 8100 through a structure such as a clamping hook and a clamping round head. The elastic member 40 is arranged between the clamping member 8302 and the inner wall of the fluid passage. Under the compression of the clamping member 8302 and the inner wall of the fluid passage, the elastic member 840 accumulates the elastic potential energy. The sealing member 8303 is in clearance fit with the through-hole 8201 of the inner shell 820. When in use, oxygen may be normally transmitted through the gap between the sealing member 8303 and the through-hole 8201 of the inner shell 820. The sealing member 8303 may be made of flexible sealing materials, such as silicone, rubber, etc. The sealing member 8303 may also be made of a rigid material. A flexible sealing ring is disposed only on one side of the sealing member 8303 close to the through-hole 8201. When the sealing member 8303 abuts against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201, the sealing ring is embedded in the gap between the sealing member 8303 and the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201 to achieve sealing.
The above-mentioned fusible portion 8301 is disposed on the clamping member 8302. The fusible portion 8301 may be made of a material with a relatively low melting point, such as PP, PVC, etc. The fusible portion may also be realized by structural design. For example, the fusible portion 8301 adopts a structure with a relatively small diameter or thickness, and is easily fused. After the fusible portion 8301 is fused, the clamping member 8302 may be broken at the fusible portion 8301. When any one of the fusible portion 8301 and the support portion 8100 melts, the support portion 8100 loses the clamping action on the clamping member 8302. Thus, when the elastic member 840 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy, the other end of the clamping member 8302 pushes against the sealing member 8303 under the elastic force, so that the sealing member 8303 abuts against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201, and the fluid passage is blocked.
Optionally, as shown in
Specifically, one end of the clamping member 8302 close to the sealing member 8303 is provided with the raised first guide portion 83021. The first guide portion 83021 may be a sliding plate, a boss or the like. The quantity of the first guide portions 83021 may be selected according to practical requirements. The material of the first guide portion 83021 may be the same as that of the clamping member 8302, and is made of a material with fire-retardant and wear-resistant properties. The first guide portion 83021 and the clamping member 8302 may be of an integrated structure, and have good structural strength and stability. The first guide portion 83021 may be formed separately from the clamping member 8302 and assembled by bonding or welding. The first guide 83021 has two functions. Firstly, a stable support point may be provided for the elastic member 840. Secondly, the first guide portion 83021 may be in sliding fit with the inner wall of the fluid passage to play the role of guiding and positioning, so as to avoid the problems of jamming and deflection of the clamping member 8302 when moved, and improve the stability of triggering of the valve body 830.
The elastic member 840 may be a metal spring, and the metal spring is sleeved on the clamping member 8302. When the clamping member 8302 is clamped with the meltable support, both ends of the elastic member 840 respectively abut against the first guide portion 83021 and the inner wall of the fluid passage, and are in a compressed state to accumulate the elastic potential energy. When the support portion 8100 and/or the fusible portion 8301 are in the molten state, the support portion 8100 loses the clamping action on the clamping member 8302. The elastic member 840 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy to drive the sealing member 8303 to contact with the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201, so that the fluid passage is blocked.
By providing the elastic member 840, when the support portion 8100 and/or the fusible portion 8301 are melted, it is capable of providing driving force for the clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303, so that the sealing member 8303 moves rapidly and abuts against the peripheral side of the through-hole 8201. At the same time, the elastic member 840 is sleeved on the clamping member 8302. It not only saves the space inside the fluid passage, but also ensures the stability of the assembly of the elastic member 840.

For the convenience of assembly, the inner diameter of the opening portion 8102 is less than the inner diameter of the main body 8101, forming a structure with thick in the middle and thin at the ends. The main body 8101 transitions from the middle to both ends, and narrows at the connection with the opening portion 8102 to form the shoulder 8103 used for supporting the elastic member 840.
The support portion 8100 is disposed on the inner wall of the opening portion 8102, and the sealing member 8303 is disposed inside the main body 8101. The sealing member 8303 is far away from the support portion 8100 and is not easily affected by the high temperature of combustion, which is beneficial to improve the performance of the sealing member 8303 and improve the stability of the fire protection device.
Optionally, as shown in

In particular, the side of the sealing member 8303 facing towards the clamping member 8302 has the end surface, and the clamping member 8302 may push against the sealing member 8303 by contacting the end surface of the sealing member 8303. The peripheral side of the end surface extends towards the clamping member 8302 to form the third guide portion 83031. The third guide portion 83031 is capable of sliding fit with the inner wall of the fluid passage, serving as a guide and positioning function, avoiding the problems of jamming and deflection of the sealing member 8303 when moved, and improving the stability of triggering of the valve body 830.

Specifically, the third guide portion 83031 is combined with the end surface to form a limiting groove 83032. The limiting groove 83032 is U-shaped, and has an opening side facing towards the clamping member 8302. The clamping member 8302 extends towards one end of the sealing member 8303 to form the limiting portion 83023 which may have a boss structure. When the clamping member 8302 pushes against the sealing member 8303, the limiting portion 83023 is at least partially embedded in the limiting groove 83032, so as to avoid the problems of shaking and blocking when the clamping member 8302 and the sealing member 8303 are moved, and improve the triggering stability of the valve body 30.

The control device is used for controlling the oxygen supply amount, operation time, etc. of the oxygen therapy instrument. The control device may be an electronic device or a component in the electronic device, such as an integrated circuit or a chip. The electronic device may be a terminal or may be a device other than a terminal.

Referring to
Specifically, as a frame of a main body 91011 of the fire protection device, the housing 10 may be made of a material that is not easily chemically reacted with oxygen and is resistant to high temperatures, such as stainless steel or a ceramic material. It may also be made of fireproof and flame-retardant materials. The housing 10 has the fluid passage 9101 therein used for communicating with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the patient end. Since it is necessary to pass through the fluid passage 9101 during the oxygen transmission, the oxygen passage may be blocked by blocking the fluid passage 9101, so as to minimize the spread of fire caused by oxygen enrichment.
The inner wall of the fluid passage 9101 is provided with the sealing member 920 which is preferably disposed at the middle position of the fluid passage 9101. The sealing member 920 may be made of silicone, rubber, etc. and may achieve a good sealing effect. The sealing member 920 is provided with the notch through which oxygen may normally be transmitted in the absence of a fire. The shape of the notch may be circular, elliptical, semi-circular, etc. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sealing member 920 takes the shape of an annular ring, the outer periphery of the annular ring is sealed connected to the inner wall of the fluid passage 9101, and the inner periphery of the annular ring is enclosed to form a notch for the passage of oxygen.
The valve body 930 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fluid passage 9101. The valve body 930 has a first position and a second position with respect to the fluid passage 9101. A structure corresponding to the shape of the notch is disposed on the valve body 930. When the valve body 930 is in the first position, a gap is provided between the valve body 930 and the sealing member 920 for the fluid to pass through, and oxygen may normally be transmitted through the notch. When the valve body 930 is in the second position, the valve body 930 is snap-fitted with the notch of the sealing member 920 so that the fluid passage 9101 is in the blocked state. The fluid passage 9101 is blocked by the snap-fitting of the valve body 930 with the notch.
An elastic member 940 is disposed between the valve body 930 and the inner wall of the fluid passage 9101 for driving the valve body 930 from the first position to the second position. The elastic member 940 may be a metal spring such as iron, copper, alloy, etc. or a soft rubber such as silica gel, rubber, etc. which may store the elastic potential energy. The inner wall of the fluid passage 9101 is provided with at least one raised meltable support portion 950 which can be clamped with the valve body 930 to position the valve body 930 in the first position, so as to ensure that the fluid passage 9101 is unobstructed in the case of no fire. The meltable support portion 950 may be made of a lower melting point material such as PP, PVC, etc.
When the valve body 930 is in the first position, the elastic member 940 will be pressed by the inner wall of the fluid passage 9101 and the valve body 930, and is in a compressed state to accumulate the elastic potential energy. When the meltable support portion 950 loses the clamping action on the valve body 930, the force balance is broken. The valve body 930 moves to the second position under the elastic force of the elastic member 940, and is snap-fitted with the notch, so as to realize the gas path blocking.
In the event of a fire, the valve body 930 may be triggered by the followings. Firstly, the meltable support portion 950 melts, the meltable support portion 950 loses a clamping action on the valve body 930. Under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 940, the valve body 930 moves to the second position to be snap-fitted with the notch, so as to block the fluid passage 9101. Secondly, the valve body 930 is provided with the fusible portion 9301 which can be made of a material with a relatively low melting point, such as PP, PVC, etc. The fusible portion may also be realized by structural design. For example, the fusible portion 9301 adopts a structure with a relatively small diameter or thickness, and is easily fused. After the fusible portion 9301 is fused, the meltable support portion 950 also loses the clamping action on the valve body 930. Under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 940, the valve body 930 moves to the second position to be snap-fitted with the notch, so as to realize the blocking of the fluid passage 9101. Thirdly, the meltable support portion 950 and the fusible portion 9301 are melted at the same time, and the meltable support portion 950 loses its clamping action on the valve body 930 and also blocks the fluid passage 9101.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by using the combination of the fusible portion 9301 and the meltable support portion 950, when any one of the fusible portion 9301 and the meltable support portion 950 is melted, the valve body 930 may be timely moved to the second position and snap-fitted with the notch of the sealing member 920, thereby blocking the gas path, increasing the triggering speed of the valve body 930, reducing the risk of fire spreading due to the triggering not being timely, thereby improving the safety factor of the fire protection device. Also, the fire protection device has a simple structure, and is easy to assemble, which reduces production costs and installation costs.

Specifically, the sealing member 920, with a quantity of one, is positioned within the fluid passage 9101. The notch of the sealing member 920 has the first side and the second side that are opposite to each other. When snap-fit into the notch from either side, the fluid passage 9101 may be blocked. When the valve body 930 is provided, the above-mentioned valve body 930 may be disposed on at least one side of the notch. For example, the valve body 930 may be disposed on the first side of the notch or the second side of the notch. The valve bodies 930 may also be disposed on both the first side and the second side. When at least one side of the notch is snap-fitted with the valve body, the fluid passage 9101 is in a blocked state, and a single sealing member 920 may be used to realize the double-side blocking of the fluid passage 9101, with a simple structure and better stability.

The specific structure of the clamping portion 9302 may be a structure such as a hook and a clamping round head, and may achieve a clamping fit with the meltable support portion 950. The sealing portion 9304 is used to be snap-fitted with the notch of the sealing member 920. The sealing portion 9304 and the clamping portion 9302 are connected via a connecting portion 9303. The clamping portion 9302, the connecting portion 9303 and the sealing portion 9304 may be an integral structure and are made of the same material, which can reduce the manufacturing cost. They may also be made separately according to the functional requirements of different parts, made of different materials, and assembled by welding or bonding.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the diameters of the clamping portion 9302 and the sealing portion 9304 are slightly greater than the diameter of the connecting portion 9303, to form the valve body 930 of the shuttle-like structure. Preferably, the valve body 930 is provided coaxially with the flow passage. The valve body 930 is more stable when sliding. The connecting portion 9303 is provided with a fusible portion 9301 which may be made of a material with a relatively low melting point, such as PP, PVC, etc. The fusible portion may also be realized through structural design. For example, the fusible portion 9301 has a structure with a relatively small diameter or thickness, and is easily fused. After the fusible portion 9301 is fused, the clamping portion 9302 and the sealing portion 9304 are separated from each other. The meltable support portion 950 loses the clamping action on the sealing portion 9304. Under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 940, the sealing portion 9304 is snap-fitted with the notch, so as to realize the blocking of the fluid passage 9101.
Optionally, the elastic member 940 is sleeved on the connecting portion 9303. One end of the elastic member 940 abuts against the inner wall of the fluid passage 9101, and the other end of the elastic member 940 abuts against the sealing portion 9304. When the clamping portion 9302 is clamped with the meltable support portion 950, the elastic member 940 is compressed by the inner wall of the fluid passage 9101 and the sealing portion 9304. With the meltable support portion 950 and/or the fusible portion 9301 in the molten state, the elastic member 940 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy to drive the sealing portion 9304 to be snap-fitted with the notch, so that the fluid passage 9101 is in the blocked state.
Specifically, the elastic member 940 may be a metal spring which is sleeved on the connecting portion 9303. When the valve body 930 is in the first position, both ends of the elastic member 940 abut against the sealing portion 9304 and the inner wall of the fluid passage 9101, respectively, and are in a compressed state to accumulate the elastic potential energy. When the meltable support portion 950 and/or the fusible portion 9301 are in the molten state, the meltable support portion 950 loses its clamping action on the sealing portion 9304, and the elastic member 940 releases at least part of its elastic potential energy, driving the sealing portion 9304 to be snap-fitted with the notch, so that the fluid passage 9101 is in the blocked state.
By providing the elastic member 940, when the meltable support portion 950 and/or the fusible portion 9301 are melted, a driving force can be provided to the sealing portion 9304 to rapidly move the sealing portion 9304 and snap-fit the same with the notch. At the same time, the elastic member 940 is sleeved on the connecting portion 9303. It not only saves the space 9101 inside the fluid passage 9101, but also ensures the stability of the assembly of the elastic member 940.
Optionally, the fluid passage 9101 includes a main body 91011 and opening portions 91012 provided at both ends of the main body 91011. The inner diameter of the opening portion 91012 is less than an inner diameter of the main body 91011. The connection between the main body 91011 and the opening portion 91012 narrows to form a shoulder 91013. The meltable support portion 950 is disposed on the inner wall of the opening portion 91012, and the sealing member 920 is connected to the inner wall of the main body 91011. One end of the elastic member 940 abuts against the shoulder 91013, and the other end of the elastic member 940 abuts against the sealing portion 9304.
Specifically, the fluid passage 9101 includes the main body 91011 and the opening portions 91012 provided at both ends of the main body 91011. The opening portion 91012 is used for communicating with a pipeline of a patient end or an oxygen therapy instrument end. For the convenience of assembly, the inner diameter of the opening portion 91012 is less than the inner diameter of the main body 91011, forming a structure with thick in the middle and thin at the ends. The main body 91011 transitions from the middle to both ends, and narrows at the connection with the opening portion 91012 to form the shoulder 91013 used for supporting the elastic member 940.
The meltable support portion 950 is disposed on the inner wall of the opening portion 91012, and the sealing member 920 is disposed on the inner wall of the main body 91011. The sealing member 920 is far away from the meltable support portion 950 and is not easily affected by the high temperature of combustion, which is beneficial to improve the performance of the sealing member 920 and improve the stability of the fire protection device.
Optionally, the sealing portion 9304 is provided with a raised first guide portion 9305, and the first guide portion 9305 is in sliding fit with the inner wall of the main body 91011. One end of the elastic member 940 abuts against the shoulder 91013, and the other end of the elastic member 940 abuts against the first guide portion 9305.
Specifically, the sealing portion 9304 is snap-fitted with the notch of the sealing member 920. The sealing portion 9304 is provided with the raised first guide portion 9305 which may be a structure such as a boss, etc. The quantity of the first guide portions 9305 may be selected according to actual requirements. The material of the first guide portion 9305 may be made of the same material as that of the valve body 930, or may be made of a material having fire-retardant and wear-resistant characteristics. The first guide portion 9305 and the valve body 930 may have an integral structure, and have good structural strength and stability. The first guide portion 9305 may be formed separately from the valve body 930 and assembled by bonding or welding. The first guide 9305 has two functions. Firstly, a stable supporting point may be provided for the elastic member 940. Secondly, the first guide portion 9305 may be in sliding fit with the inner wall of the main body 91011 to play the role of guiding and positioning, avoid the problems of jamming and deflection of the valve body 930 when moved, and improve the triggering stability of the valve body 30.
Optionally, the connecting portion 9303 is provided with a raised second guide portion 9306 which is in sliding fit with the inner wall of the opening portion 91012.
Specifically, the connecting portion 9303 is provided with the raised second guide portion 9306 which may have a structure such as a sliding plate and a boss. The second guide portion 9306 can be slidably fit with the inner wall of the opening portion 91012 to play a guiding and positioning role, so as to avoid the problems of jamming and deflection of the valve body 930 when moved, and improve the triggering stability of the valve body 930.
Optionally, the quantity of the meltable support portions 950 is two or more. The meltable support portions 950 are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the opening portion 91012.
Specifically, the meltable support portion 950 is used to support the valve body 930 to be in the first position. The stability of the clamping between the meltable support portion 950 and the valve body 930 directly affects the performance of the fire protection device. In order to avoid the problem that the clamping function between the meltable support portion 950 and the valve body 930 fails and the fluid passage 9101 is erroneously blocked, the quantity of the meltable support portions 950 is two or more. The meltable support portions 950 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the opening portion 91012 to achieve multiple clamping of the clamping portion 9302 of the valve body 930, thereby improving the stability of the clamping. At the same time, the problem that the valve body 930 deflects due to uneven force may also be avoided, so as to improve the stability of triggering of the valve body 930.
Optionally, the housing 10 includes a first housing 9102 and a second housing 9103. The first housing 9102 and/or the second housing 9103 is provided with a mounting engagement groove 9104. With the first housing 9102 and the second housing 9103 assembled, the sealing member 920 is in interference fit with the mounting engagement groove 9104.
Specifically, the first housing 9102 and the second housing 9103 may be detachably assembled by clamping or bolting to facilitate installation and removal of the internal components. The first housing 9102 and the second housing 9103 may also be fixedly assembled by means of welding, so as to improve the structural strength and sealability.
The first housing 9102 and the second housing 9103 each have an opening arranged opposite to each other. The opening is provided with a mounting engagement groove 9104. The sealing member 920 is embedded in the mounting engagement groove 9104 to achieve assembly. The mounting engagement groove 9104 may be separately opened on the first housing 9102 or the second housing 9103, or may be assembled into a complete mounting engagement groove 9104 when the first housing 9102 and the second housing 9103 are respectively opened and the first housing 9102 and the second housing 9103 are assembled.
When the first housing 9102 and the second housing 9103 are pressed together, the sealing member 920 is in interference fit with the mounting engagement groove 9104 to seal the assembly gap between the first housing 9102 and the second housing 9103 and prevent leakage during oxygen transmission.
Optionally, the mounting engagement groove 9104 is provided with an expanded portion 9105. The edge of the sealing member 920 extends to form an embedded portion which is at least partially embedded in the expanded portion 9105.
Specifically, the mounting engagement groove 9104 is provided with the expanded portion 9105. The expanded portion 9105 and the main body 91011 of the mounting engagement groove 9104 form a stepped groove body. The edge of the sealing member 920 extends to form the embedded portion 9201 which is at least partially embedded in the expanded portion 9105, so as to improve the security of the assembly between the sealing member 920 and the housing 10, and also improve the sealing effect of the sealing member 920.
Optionally, the fire protection device includes two valve bodies 930 symmetrically arranged in the fluid passage 9101. Two valve bodies 930 are respectively located on two sides of the sealing member 920. The elastic member 940 is provided between each valve body 930 and the inner wall of the fluid passage 9101. The meltable support portions 950 are disposed in the opening portions 91012 at both ends of the main body 91011, respectively.
Specifically, the fire protection device adopts the structure of double valve body 930. Any valve body 930 may be triggered to realize the blocking of the fluid passage 9101, which ensures the timeliness of triggering the fire protection device. When installing, it is not necessary to distinguish the port sequence of the fire protection device. Any opening end may be assembled and communicated with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the patient end, which greatly improves the installation convenience.
Embodiments of the present disclosure also disclose a ninth type of a ventilation treatment apparatus including the ninth type of the fire protection device.
Specifically, the ninth type of the ventilation treatment apparatus includes a control device, an oxygen therapy instrument and a gas pipeline. The control device is used for controlling the oxygen supply amount, operation time, etc. of the oxygen therapy instrument. The control device may be an electronic device or a component in the electronic device, such as an integrated circuit or a chip. The electronic device may be a terminal or may be a device other than a terminal. Illustratively, the electronic device may be a cell phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palmtop computer, a mobile Internet appliance, a robot, a wearable device, etc. and embodiments of the present disclosure are not particularly limited.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the valve body 930 is provided with the fusible portion 9301. The inner wall of the fluid passage 9101 is provided with the meltable support portion 950. When the meltable support portion 950 and the fusible portion 9301 are in the non-molten state, the valve body 930 is clamped with the meltable support portion 950, so as to support the valve body 930 to be in the first position. The gap is provided between the valve body 930 and the sealing member 920 for the passage of the fluid, and the elastic member 940 is in a compressed state. With the meltable support portion 950 and/or the fusible portion 9301 in the molten state, the elastic member 940 releases at least part of the elastic potential energy to drive the valve body 930 to be in the second position. The valve body 930 is snap-fitted with the notch of the sealing member 920, so that the fluid passage 9101 is in the blocked state. By using the combination of the fusible portion 9301 and the meltable support portion 950, when any one of the fusible portion 9301 and the meltable support portion 950 is melted, the valve body 930 may be moved to the second position in time and snap-fitted with the notch of the sealing member 920, thereby blocking the gas path, increasing the triggering speed of the valve body 930, reducing the risk of fire spreading due to the failure of triggering in time, and thus improving the safety factor of the fire protection device.
The present disclosure provides a tenth type of a ventilation apparatus for providing ventilation treatment to a user. The ventilation apparatus may include an oxygen generating device and a gas transmission pipeline communicating the breathing airway of the user with the oxygen generating device. The oxygen generating device generates oxygen when in operation, and the oxygen is provided to the user via the gas transmission pipeline.
When a user end fires, the oxygen generated by the oxygen generating device intensifies the fire due to the combustion supporting property of oxygen. In order to avoid this, the gas transmission pipeline may be provided with a fire damper, which may be closed in the event of a fire in order to shut off the delivery of oxygen in the gas transmission pipeline.
However, in the related art, the fire damper has a complicated structure and a large quantity of parts. The piston may deviate from a predetermined trajectory when moves, resulting in an inability to completely block the airflow passage.
A fire damper in an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a housing and a sealing member mounted within the housing. The housing is provided with an airflow passage therethrough. The airflow passage is provided with a first partition for partitioning the airflow passage. The first partition is provided with a first vent hole. The sealing member is positioned within the airflow passage and a first gap is provided between the sealing member and the first vent hole before heated, to allow a gas to flow from one end of the airflow passage to the other through the first vent hole and the first gap. The sealing member includes a heat-shrinkable material layer such that the sealing member shrinks when heated and blocks the first vent hole.
A position of the housing corresponding to a first end of the airflow passage may be provided with a first joint, and a position of the housing corresponding to a second end of the airflow passage may be provided with a second joint. When the fire damper is installed in the ventilation apparatus, the first joint and the second joint may be connected to a gas transmission pipeline in the ventilation apparatus. For example, the first joint is connected to the gas transmission pipeline on the user side. The second joint is connected to the gas transmission pipeline on the oxygen generating device side. Oxygen reaches the user through the gas transmission pipeline on the oxygen generating device side, the airflow passage in the housing, and the gas transmission pipeline on the user side in this order.
The direction in which the airflow passage extends may be a straight line as a whole, or may be a broken line, a curved line, or the like. For convenience of description, the following description will be made only by taking the case where the airflow passage as a whole extends in a linear direction.
The first partition separates the airflow passage into a first passage close to the first joint and a second passage close to the second joint. Here, the “separate” does not mean that the first passage and the second passage are completely isolated, but that the first passage and the second passage communicate through the first vent hole. Once the first partition is provided, it is only necessary to block the first vent hole when it needs to close the fire damper.
The sealing member includes a heat-shrinkable material layer which may shrink when heated, so as to drive the sealing member to shrink and block the first vent hole. The heat-shrinkable material layer may be made of a heat-shrinkable material which is also called a polymer shape memory material, and is an intelligent material combining a polymer material and a radiation processing technology, namely, a functional polymer material made by mixing, shaping, cross-linking, heating, expanding and cooling and shaping using a rubber-plastic material as a base material and using the principle of “elastic memory” of a polymer. Common polymer materials, such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride, are generally linear structures. After being transformed into a network structure by the radiation action of radioactive sources, such as electron accelerators, these materials will have a unique “memory effect”. After being heated, the expanded and cooled materials may be re-contracted to restore the original shape.
In the event of a user-side fire, the heat generated by the combustion source may pass through the gas transmission pipeline on the user-side into the fire damper to shrink the heat-shrinkable material layer by heat, thereby blocking the first vent hole. After the first vent hole is blocked, the first passage and the second passage of the airflow passage are completely isolated, thereby preventing oxygen from continuing to be supplied from the oxygen generating device side to the combustion source through the fire damper.
The present disclosure provides the fire damper. The first partition is disposed in the housing, and the first partition separates the airflow passage in the housing into two portions communicated through the first vent hole. The first gap is provided between the sealing member and the first vent hole before the sealing member is heated, so as to allow normal communication between the two portions of the airflow passage. The heat-shrinkable material layer is included in the sealing member so that the sealing member, after being heated, may block the first vent hole and prevent communication between the two portions of the airflow passage, thereby cutting off the oxygen delivery path. The present disclosure provides the fire damper that includes the housing and the sealing member, has a small quantity of parts, and has a simple structure, as compared with the fire dampers in the related art.
Here, the sealing member may be variously formed to block the first vent hole after being shrunk by heat. The fire dampers provided by the present disclosure are described in detail below by way of specific embodiments.
As shown in
The first gap is provided between the sealing member 120 and the first through-hole before the sealing member 120 is heated, and the first gap communicates with the second passage, so that the second passage, the first gap, the first vent hole 14 and the first passage communicate to form a passage for oxygen transmission.
The sealing member 120 includes the heat-shrinkable material layer 122 which gradually approaches the first vent hole 14 after being shrunk by heat, and eliminates the first gap, so as to fit and cover the first vent hole 14, thereby blocking the passage of oxygen transmission and preventing the fire from further expanding due to the combustion of oxygen. The structure of the first vent hole 14 being attached and covered by the sealing member 120 is simple and reliable.
The first partition may include a first vent pipe 13, and the first vent hole 14 is disposed on a side wall of the first vent pipe 13. The sealing member 120 has a tubular shape and is sleeved outside the first vent pipe 13. The sealing member 120 has a tubular shape, and the diameter of the tube decreases after being shrunk by heat, so that the inner wall of the sealing member 120 is attached to the side wall of the first vent pipe 13, thereby not only covering the first vent hole 14, but also closely fitting the area around the first vent hole 14, thereby improving the sealing effect. Also, the tubular sealing member 120 is simple to manufacture, and the tube diameter is reduced when contracted, i.e., the shrinking process can be expected.
By way of example, as shown in
Certainly, the sealing member 120 may be in the form of a sheet, which is attached to the first partition after being shrunk by heat, thereby covering the first vent hole 14.
The first vent pipe 13 divides the airflow passage into the first passage and the second passage. The sealing member 120 may be located in the second passage. A second gap 18 is provided between an outer wall of the sealing member 120 and an inner wall of the second passage. That is, before the sealing member 120 is heated, the second gap 18, the first gap, and the first vent hole 14 communicate to form a passage for oxygen transmission.
When the first passage communicates with the gas transmission pipeline on the user side, heat generated by combustion passes through the first passage and the first vent hole 14 in turn and is transferred to the sealing member 120, so that the sealing member 120 is shrunk by heat. When the second passage communicates with the gas transmission pipeline on the user side, heat generated by combustion passes through the second passage and enters the second gap 18, and is transferred to the sealing member 120, so that the sealing member 120 is shrunk by heat. That is, any one of the first passage and the second passage may block oxygen transmission when communicating with the gas transmission pipeline on the user side, i.e., the installation of the fire damper does not distinguish directions.
Illustratively, as shown in
Certainly, the sealing member 120 may be fixed by other means. For example, a plurality of projections may be disposed on the outer wall of the first vent pipe 13. The sealing member 120 may be supported by the plurality of protrusions.
In addition, in order to achieve that the installation of the fire damper does not distinguish directions, a second partition may also be disposed in the airflow passage. The second partition is provided with a second vent hole 16. The first partition and the second partition are axially provided at intervals along the airflow passage. The sealing member 120 blocks the second vent hole 16 after being shrunk by heat. The structure of the second partition and the principle of action with the sealing member 120 may be the same as the first partition.
Illustratively, as shown in
Referring to
Referring to
The structures of the first joint 11 and the second joint 12 may be the same or different. For example, the first joint 11 adopts the zigzag structure, and the second joint 12 adopts the fast-plug joint. Alternatively, the first joint 11 is the fast-plug joint and the second joint 12 is the zigzag structure. In addition, the first joint 11 and the second joint 12 may adopt other structures. The structure of the first joint 11 and the second joint 12 is not limited in the present disclosure.
As shown in
The other end of the sealing member 120 is in the open state before being heated, i.e., before being heated, the second passage, the interior of the tubular sealing member 120, the first vent hole 14, and the first passage communicate to form a passage for oxygen transmission.
The other end of the sealing member 120 is in the closed state after being heated, i.e., the other end of the sealing member 120 is shrunk inwards in the radial direction of the pipe after being heated and shrunk together and then closed, so that oxygen cannot enter the inside of the sealing member 120 through the other end of the sealing member 120. At this time, the first partition and the sealing member 120 form a chamber, which is opened only at the first vent hole 14, so that the oxygen gas transmission passage is blocked and the oxygen cannot be continuously transmitted to the fire source.
Illustratively, as shown in
Certainly, one end of the sealing member 120 may be connected to the first partition by bonding or the like.
In order to make the other end of the sealing member 120 closed more effectively, the inner side of the shrinkable material layer 122 may be provided with a hot melt layer 121. The hot melt layer 121 may be made of a material having a relatively low melting point, such as a hot melt adhesive or the like. The hot melt layer 121 is melted by being heated, thereby improving fluidity, so that the melted hot melt layer 121 may better fill gaps that may be formed after the shrinkable material layer 122 shrinks.
Certainly, the layer structure disposed inside the shrinkable material layer 122 may be other materials, and the thermal expansion coefficients of the two layers may be different.
The wall thickness of an end of the hot melt layer 121 away from the first vent hole 14 is greater than the wall thickness of an end of the hot melt layer 121 close to the first vent hole 14. The end of the hot melt layer 121 away from the first vent hole 14 is a thick end 1212, and the end of the hot melt layer 121 close to the first vent hole 14 is a thin end 1211. The thick end 1212, away from the first vent hole 14, receives less heat and has a thicker wall thickness, the thick end 1212 does not readily melt. When the thin end 1211 melts, the hot melt material resulting from the melting is blocked by the thick end 1212 and accumulates at the thick end 1212, thereby closing the other end of the sealing member 120.
Illustratively, as shown in
The hot melt layer 121 may be provided with a plurality of protrusions 1213 facing towards the interior of the sealing member 120. The portion of the hot melt layer 121 provided with the protrusion 1213 has a thicker wall thickness than the portion of the hot melt layer 121 not provided with the protrusion 1213, and is melted later after being heated. When the other portion of the hot melt layer 121 is melted after being heated, the melted hot melt material is blocked by the plurality of protrusions 1213, so as to gather at the protrusions 1213 to close the other end of the sealing member 120.
Illustratively, as shown in
In addition, in order to achieve that the installation of the fire damper does not distinguish directions, the second partition may also be disposed in the airflow passage. The second partition is provided with the second vent hole. The first partition and the second partition are axially provided at intervals along the airflow passage. The sealing member 120 blocks the second vent hole after being shrunk by heat. The structure of the second partition and the principle of action with the sealing member 120 may be the same as the first partition. This will not be repeated here.
The description of the related art, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,887,631A, discloses a fire-protection isolation device, as shown in
Under normal operation, gas (such as oxygen) flows out through the small holes 1-18 of the meltable nose component 1-13 after passing through the central hole 1-17 of the compression spring 1-15. In the event of a fire, the meltable nose component 1-13 will be melt up to 700 degrees, so that the meltable nose component 1-13 will collapse into a larger-diameter hole 1-21 and the poppet valve 1-14 will abut against an inclined portion 1-22 of the end seat 1-12. The poppet valve 1-14 loaded by the compression spring 1-15 is thereby allowed to close, preventing leakage of liquid through any additional components. Since the compression spring 1-15 is made of metallic materials which, after prolonged exposure to oxygen, particularly in humid environments, the compression spring 1-15 will inevitably appear chemical reactions such as oxidation, and thus causing failure of the compression spring 1-15, which would greatly reduce the useful life of the fire-protection isolation device while affecting the health of the patient.
In view of the above-mentioned problems in the related art, the present disclosure provides an automatic fire protection device applied to an oxygen therapy apparatus, which is capable of preventing occurrence of a failure phenomenon contacting with oxygen for a long time, thereby improving the service life of the automatic fire protection device.
As shown in
Specifically, the sealing member 1-40 includes a sealing portion 1-41. When the sealing member 1-40 is in a first state (as shown in
Further, referring to
On the contrary, when the sealing member 1-40 is in the second state, the first connector 1-42 is fixed in the housing 1-100 and is in the stretched state (as shown in
Therefore, in the absence of a fire, the sealing portion 1-41 is not in contact with the gas passage 1-140. The gas can reach the mouth and nose of the user by means of the transmission of the housing 1-100 by flowing from the gas inlet end to the gas outlet end of the gas passage 1-140 and flowing out from the gas outlet end, so that the user can be normally provided with the gas such as oxygen (the flow direction of the gas is shown by a solid arrow in
In a preferred embodiment, the sealing member 1-40 is made of an elastic non-metallic material, preferably a silicone material, so that the sealing member 1-40 is elastic and may be stretched. Also, it may avoid problems of long contact with oxygen in the housing and oxidation reactions that affect product life and reliability. Since the gas (e.g., oxygen) flowing out through the gas outlet end of the gas passage 1-140 surrounds the sealing member 1-40 during the gas transmission, the sealing member 1-40 may be contacted with oxygen for a long period of time. The sealing member 1-40 made of the silicone material may be prevented from chemical reactions, such as oxidation reactions, thereby improving the service life of the automatic fire protection device applied to the oxygen therapy apparatus and avoiding health effects on users.
The second connector 1-43 is fixed in the housing 1-100 by a fixing structure configured such that it may be fused after being heated beyond a preset temperature. Then, the second connector 1-43 changes from the stretched state to the natural state.
In the event of a fire, the flame will gradually burn towards the direction of the oxygen source, the dashed arrow in
A quantity of the first connectors 1-42 is at least two.
By disposing the first connector 1-42 on the side wall of the sealing portion 1-41, mounting and forming can be facilitated. With continued reference to
Herein, when the sealing member 1-40 is in the first state, the stretching and extending directions of the first connector 1-42 and the second connector 1-43 are opposite. Namely, the second connector 1-43 extends in the axial direction of the sealing portion 1-41 in a direction opposite to the extending direction of the stretched first connector 1-42. That is, the first connector 1-42 and the second connector 1-43 can be stretched in opposite directions, so that the first connector 1-42 and the second connector 1-43 may be fixed at both sides of the gas passage 1-140.
It is also conceivable to arrange the first connector 1-42 directly on one side of the sealing portion 1-41 and to arrange the second connector 1-43 on the other side of the sealing portion 1-41, so that both the first connector 1-42 and the second connector 1-43 extend in opposite directions in the axial direction of the sealing portion 1-41 when both are in a natural state.
The functions of the first connector 1-42 and the second connector 1-43 are to respectively apply a pulling force to the sealing portion 1-41 at two sides thereof. Therefore, the sealing portion 1-41 can be kept at a position at a certain distance from the gas outlet end of the gas passage 1-140 when a fire does not occur, so as to facilitate gas transmission. However, when a fire occurs, the action of the pulling force on one side of the sealing portion 1-41 disappears, and the sealing portion 1-41 attaches to the gas outlet end of the gas passage 1-140 under the action of the pulling force on the other side, thereby blocking the gas passage 1-140. Therefore, the first connector 1-42 and the second connector 1-43 of the present disclosure may also have other structural forms as long as the pulling force in opposite directions can be provided on both sides of the sealing portion 1-41, respectively.
Further, referring to
The adapter block 1-51 is constructed in a columnar structure. The adapter block 1-51 is provided with an accommodating hole 1-511 therethrough. The gas passage 1-140 is penetratingly disposed in the accommodating hole 1-511. Therefore, it can be understood that the gas outlet end of the gas passage 1-140 is located at an outer end of the accommodating hole 1-511 (as shown in
The mounting post 1-52 is disposed on a side wall of the adapter block 1-51 (e.g., It may be disposed on a circumferential side wall of the adapter block 1-51), and the mounting post 1-52 is used to connect the first connector 1-42. The number and distribution of the first connectors 1-42 are the same as the number and distribution of the mounting posts 1-52, respectively, i.e., the two are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.
The connecting plate 1-53 extends in the axial direction of the accommodating hole 1-511. A side of the connecting plate 1-53 away from the adapter block 1-51 is provided with a trigger post 1-533 for connecting with the second connector 1-43. Herein, when the first connector 1-42 is connected to the mounting post 1-52 and the second connector 1-43 is connected to the trigger post 1-533, the sealing member 1-40 is in a first state within the housing 1-100. When the first connector 1-42 is connected to the mounting post 1-52 and the second connector 1-43 is disconnected from the trigger post 1-533, the sealing member 1-40 is in the second state in the housing 1-100.

As shown in
In addition, the second connecting hole 1-432 of the connecting ring 1-431 and the trigger post 1-533 of the truncated cone structure each have a reduced size portion, so that they are easily fused, thereby improving the triggering speed of the automatic fire protection device applied to the oxygen therapy apparatus.
Herein, the connecting ring 1-431 and/or the trigger post 1-533 may be fused (burned off) at a high temperature exceeding a preset temperature. In the event of a fire, a high-temperature gas or a flame of combustion is first propagated to a position of the connecting ring 1-431 and/or the trigger post 1-533. The connecting ring 1-431 or the trigger post 1-533 is fused, or both are fused, so that the fixing of the second connector 1-43 to the mounting arm 1-50 is broken, and the second connector 1-43 is unconstrained, thereby being retracted, as shown in
It is also conceivable to arrange the material of the connecting ring 1-431 to be different from the material of other parts of the second connector 1-43. For example, the connecting ring 1-431 may be made of a material with a lower high-temperature resistance, while the material of other parts of the second connector 1-43 is made of a material with a higher high-temperature resistance, so that the connecting ring 1-431 is more easily fused. In addition, the trigger post 1-533 may be similarly configured. For example, the material of the trigger post 1-533 is different from the material of other parts of the connecting plate 1-53. The material of the trigger post 533 has poor resistance to high temperature. The material of other parts of the connecting plate 1-53 is more resistant to high temperature, so that the trigger post 533 is more easily fused. It should be noted that the preset temperature described herein is generally 400° C. or higher.

Further, with continued reference to
The extension plate 1-532 is connected to the other end of the recessed portion 1-531. The extension plate 1-532 extends in the axial direction of the accommodating hole 1-511. The trigger post 1-533 is disposed on the side of the extension plate 1-532 away from the recessed portion 1-531, for example, on the upper side thereof. The trigger post 1-533 may be substantially perpendicular to the extension plate 1-532. When the second connector 1-43 is stretched, it is substantially parallel to the extension plate 1-532.
As shown in
One side of the first housing 1-110 is provided with a first nozzle 1-111 for being connected to a catheter (not shown). The first nozzle 1-111 is connected to an oxygen source such as an oxygen generator via the catheter. A second nozzle 1-121 for connection to a catheter (not shown) is provided on the side of the second housing 1-120 opposite to the first housing 1-110, the second nozzle 1-121 is connected via the catheter to a respiratory mask worn on the face of the patient. Herein, when the sealing member 1-40 is in the first state, the first nozzle 1-111, the gas passage 1-140, the chamber 1-130, and the second nozzle 1-121 are in fluid communication. When the sealing member 1-40 is in the second state, the fluid enters the gas passage 1-140 through the first nozzle 1-111 is isolated from the chamber 1-130 outside the gas passage 1-140. Thus, in normal use, oxygen is received from the first nozzle 1-111, flows through the gas passage 1-140 and the chamber 1-130 into the second nozzle 1-121, and is supplied to the patient by the second nozzle 1-121, as shown by the solid arrows in
As shown in
Accordingly, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the gas passage 1-140 includes the gas inlet end and the gas outlet end. The first nozzle 1-111 communicates with the gas inlet end of the gas passage 1-140. When the sealing member 1-40 is in the first state, namely, the temperature in the housing 1-100 does not exceed a preset temperature (a fusing temperature), the second connector 1-43 of the sealing member 1-40 maintains a connection state with the mounting arm 1-1250, so that a certain gap is maintained between the sealing portion 1-41 of the sealing member 1-40 and the gas outlet end of the gas passage 1-140. Therefore, the fluid may flow into the chamber 1-130 after flowing through the first nozzle 1-111, the gas inlet end of the gas passage 1-140 and the gas outlet end of the gas passage 1-140 in sequence, and output from the second nozzle 1-121. When the temperature in the housing 1-100 is higher than the preset temperature, the connecting ring 1-431 of the second connector or the trigger post 1-533 of the mounting arm 1-50 is fused. Therefore, the sealing member 1-40 is switched from the first state to the second state, namely, the end of the second connector 1-43 is disconnected from the corresponding end (the trigger post 1-533) of the mounting arm 1-50, while the end of the first connector 1-42 remains connected to the corresponding end (the fixing post 1-523) of the mounting arm. Then, the sealing portion 1-41 of the sealing member 1-40 moves in the direction close to the adapter block 1-51 in the housing 100 under the action of the pulling force of the first connector 1-42, until the sealing portion 1-41 is attached to the corresponding end (namely, the gas outlet end surface of the gas passage 1-140) of the adapter block 1-51. At this time, although the fluid may enter the gas passage 1-140 via the first nozzle 1-111 and the gas inlet end of the gas passage 1-140, the fluid cannot flow out of the gas outlet end of the gas passage 1-140 because the gas outlet end of the gas passage 1-140 is attached and sealed by the sealing portion 1-41. Meanwhile, due to the attaching and sealing function of the sealing portion 1-41, the burnt gas may not spread to the oxygen therapy device through the gas passage 1-140, so that the fire around the oxygen therapy apparatus can be prevented from being promoted and initiated or increased to cause a fire accident, thereby realizing the function of automatic fire prevention of the oxygen therapy apparatus.
As shown in
In this embodiment, the trigger post 1-533 and the connecting ring 1-431 are disposed in the chamber 1-130. More specifically, the trigger post 1-533 and the connecting ring 1-431 are disposed in the chamber 1-130 at a position close to the second nozzle 1-121, so that the burning gas propagating from the second nozzle 1-121 can first fuse the trigger post 1-533 and/or the connecting ring 1-431.
As shown in
In a preferred embodiment, the first anti-detachment portion 1-112 may be configured as a tapered step having a gradually increasing diameter in a direction towards the first housing 1-110, preventing the first nozzle 1-111 from escaping from the catheter after being connected to the catheter. In addition, the second anti-detachment portion 1-122 may adopt a structure similar to that of the first anti-detachment portion 1-112, i.e., it is also a tapered step having a gradually increasing diameter in a direction towards the second housing 1-120, thus preventing the second nozzle 1-121 from escaping from the catheter after being connected to the catheter.
It is contemplated that the first anti-detachment portion 1-112 may be further configured spiral protrusions spirally arranged on the outer wall of the first nozzle 1-111 in the axial direction of the first nozzle 1-111 to function as escape prevention.
Alternatively, it is also contemplated that the first anti-detachment portion 1-112 may be configured to provide a plurality of mold blocks along the circumferential direction of the first nozzle 1-111 to function as escape prevention.
The second anti-detachment portion 1-122 may adopt a structure similar to that of the first anti-detachment portion 1-112, and which will not be described in detail herein.
The first housing 1-110 and the second housing 1-120 are connected by means of a sealing snap, welding or a threaded connection. As shown in

While the present disclosure has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications may be made and equivalents may be substituted for components thereof without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. In particular, the technical features mentioned in the various embodiments may be combined in any manner as long as there are no structural conflicts. The present disclosure is not limited to the particular embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
As shown in
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the tenth type of the fire protection device 2-100 includes the housing 10, the first valve body 2-20, the second valve body 2-30, and the elastic member 2-40. The housing 10 has the fluid passage 2-11 therein. One end of the housing 10 has the first opening, and the second end of the housing 10 has the second opening. The first opening and the second opening are in communication with the fluid passage 2-11, therefore, the first opening, the fluid passage 2-11, and the second opening may form a passage for the circulation of the gas. Herein, the first opening and the second opening are used for communicating with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the pipeline of the oxygen supply end, so that one end of the fluid passage 2-11 may be connected to the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument through the first opening and the second opening, and the other end of the fluid passage 2-11 may be connected to the pipeline of the oxygen supply end. The oxygen therapy instrument may deliver oxygen to the patient through the oxygen supply end. The first limiting rib 2-12 is fixed on the hole wall of the first opening. The second limiting rib 2-13 is fixed on the hole wall of the second opening. The first end of the first valve body 2-20 abuts against the first limiting rib 2-12. The second end of the second valve body 2-30 abuts against the second limiting rib 2-13. The elastic member 2-40 is connected between the second end of the first valve body 2-20 and the second end of the second valve body 2-30, so that the first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30 may be distributed at intervals along the direction from the first opening to the second opening. Since the elastic member 2-40 is in a compressed state, and the extension and retraction direction of the elastic member 2-40 is consistent with the extension direction of the fluid passage 2-11, the elastic member 2-40 may exert a force on the first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30, so that the first valve body 2-20 has a tendency to move in a direction towards the first opening, and the second valve body 2-30 has a tendency to move towards the second opening. At this time, the first limiting rib 2-12 may block the first valve body 2-20, and the second limiting rib 2-13 may block the second valve body 2-30. Since the gaps for the circulation of the gas is provided between the peripheral portion of the first valve body 2-20 and the passage wall 2-11 of the fluid passage and between the peripheral portion of the second valve body 2-30 and the passage wall 2-11 of the fluid passage, in normal use, the gas can flow through the gaps, so that the oxygen therapy instrument can be normally used. In the case where the first limiting rib 2-12 is in the molten state when being burned by a flame, the first limiting rib 2-12 loses a blocking effect on the first valve body 2-20. At this time, the elastic member 2-40 is elongated, namely, the elastic member 2-40 may release elastic potential energy, and the first valve body 2-20 moves to the first position in the direction towards the first opening under the elastic force of the elastic member 2-40, so that the first valve body 2-20 is in sealing connection with the passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11, thereby blocking the fluid passage 2-11 and preventing oxygen from continuing to flow in the fluid passage 2-11. In the case where the second limiting rib 2-13 is in the molten state when being burned by a flame, the second limiting rib 2-13 loses a blocking effect on the second valve body 2-30. At this time, the elastic member 2-40 is elongated, namely, the elastic member 2-40 may release the elastic potential energy. The second valve body 2-30 moves to the second position in the direction towards the second opening under the elastic force of the elastic member 2-40, so that the second valve body 2-30 is in sealing connection with the passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11, thereby blocking the fluid passage 2-11 and preventing oxygen from continuing to flow in the fluid passage 2-11.
That is, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, if a flame is induced due to improper operation during the oxygen therapy, the first limiting rib 2-12 or the second limiting rib 2-13 burns in the molten state. At this time, the elastic member 2-40 disposed between the first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30 may push the first valve body 2-20 or the second valve body 2-30 to move, so that the first valve body 2-20 or the second valve body 2-30 is in sealing connection with the fluid passage 2-11, thereby blocking the fluid passage 2-11. The fire protection device 2-100 may prevent the oxygen from continuing to flow in the fluid passage 2-11, avoid the problem that the flame with the oxygen pipe gradually burns to the fuselage, which easily causes the spread of fire and finally ignites the oxygen generator to have serious fire.
Herein, in a case where the first limiting rib 2-12 is in the molten state when being burned by a flame, the elastic member 2-40 is elongated. Specifically, the elastic member 2-40 is elongated from a compressed state to a natural state. At this time, the elastic member 2-40 releases all the elastic potential energy possessed thereby, and the elastic member 2-40 is in the initial length. Alternatively, it may also be that the elastic element 2-40 releases part of the elastic potential energy. At this time, the elastic element 2-40 is elongated compared to the elastic element 2-40 in the initial state, but the elastic element 2-40 is still in the compressed state. Also, in a case where the second limiting rib 2-13 is in the molten state when burned by the flame, the elongation of the elastic member 2-40 may be in the above two states. The embodiments of the present disclosure will not be described in detail herein. In the above description, the initial state is a state in which the first limiting rib 2-12 and the second limiting rib 2-13 are both in a non-molten state.
It should be noted that the elastic member 2-40 is disposed in the fluid passage 2-11. The elastic member 2-40 may be a metal spring or a metal elastic sheet made of a metal such as iron, copper, alloy, etc., or a soft rubber such as silica gel, rubber, etc. which can store the elastic potential energy. The elastic member 2-40 may store the elastic potential energy and push the first valve body 2-20 or the second valve body 2-30 in the event of a fire to block the fluid passage and block the passage of oxygen, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the spread of a fire.
It should also be noted that the first limiting ribs 2-12 and the second limiting ribs 2-13 may both be meltable pieces, and may be made of a material with a relatively low melting point, for example, polyformaldehyde (POM), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited herein for the specific materials of the first limiting ribs 2-12 and the second limiting ribs 2-13. Thus, when a patient normally uses the oxygen therapy instrument, the first limiting rib 2-12 and the second limiting rib 2-13 are both in the non-molten state. At this time, the first limiting rib 2-12 and the second limiting rib 2-13 are both not burned, and are in the non-molten state. The first limiting rib 2-12 supports the first valve body 2-20, the second limiting rib 2-13 supports the second valve body 2-30, and the elastic member 2-40 is in the compression state. At this time, the fluid passage 2-11 is not blocked, and oxygen may normally circulate. When the patient uses the oxygen therapy instrument and a flame is generated, the first limiting rib 2-12 or the second limiting rib 2-13 is melted. At this time, the first limiting rib 2-12 or the second limiting rib 2-13 is in the molten state, and the elastic member 2-40 restores to the initial state. At this time, the fluid passage 2-11 is blocked, thereby preventing the circulation of oxygen and preventing a fire from occurring.
In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first opening or the second opening is connected to the pipeline of the oxygen supply end, and is closer to the oxygen supply end used by the user. In the case where the first opening is connected to the pipeline of the oxygen supply end, since the first limiting rib 2-12 is provided at the hole wall of the first opening, if the patient accidentally ignites the pipeline of the oxygen supply end, the flame may reach the first limiting rib 2-12 faster, so that the first limiting rib 2-12 is broken faster, the fluid passage 2-11 is blocked faster, and the flow of oxygen may be blocked in time. Thus, the risk of fire spreading due to non-timely triggering is reduced, thereby improving the safety factor of the fire protection device 2-100. In the case where the second opening is connected to the pipeline of the oxygen supply end, since the second limiting rib 2-13 is provided at the hole wall of the second opening, if the patient accidentally ignites the pipeline of the oxygen supply end, the flame may reach the second limiting rib 2-13 faster, so that the second limiting rib 2-13 is broken faster, the fluid passage 2-11 is blocked faster, and the flow of oxygen may be blocked in time. Thus, the risk of fire spreading due to non-timely triggering is reduced, thereby improving the safety factor of the fire protection device 2-100.
In order to enable the fire protection device 2-100 to move normally for blocking the fluid passage 2-11 when the temperature is high and there is a tendency for a fire to occur, the first valve body 2-20, the second valve body 2-30, the first valve body 2-20, the second valve body 2-30, the elastic member 2-40 and the housing 2-10 may all be parts which have a relatively high melting point and are difficult to burn. Also, since the fire protection device 2-100 is used in an oxygen-rich environment, the first valve body 2-20, the second valve body 2-30, the elastic member 2-40, the housing 2-10, etc. may be parts that are not easily oxidized.
In addition, since the first limiting ribs 2-12 and the second limiting ribs 2-13 are distributed at both ends of the fire protection device 2-100, when the fire protection device 2-100 is installed, the first opening may be installed on the pipeline of the oxygen supply end and the second opening may also be installed on the pipeline of the oxygen supply end, thereby facilitating the installation and avoiding the problem of distinguishing the front and back of the fire protection device 2-100.
In order to avoid the influence of the first limiting ribs 2-12 on the flow of oxygen, the first limiting ribs 2-12 may be strip-shaped or have other shapes which do not influence the ventilation, for example, serrated, semi-circular, etc. The two ends of the first limiting ribs 2-12 are respectively connected to the hole wall of the first opening, and oxygen may flow into the fluid passage 2-11 through the two sides of the first limiting ribs 2-12, as shown in
In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in
The first valve body 2-20 includes the first mounting rod 2-21 and the first mounting seat 2-22. The axial direction of the first mounting rod 2-21 is consistent with the extension and retraction direction of the elastic member 2-40. One end of the first mounting rod 2-21 is connected to the first mounting seat 2-22, and the other end of the first mounting rod 2-21 abuts against the first limiting rib 2-12, so that the first valve body 2-20 may abut against the first limiting rib 2-12 via the first mounting rod 2-21. The second valve body 2-30 includes the second mounting rod 2-31 and the second mounting seat 2-32. The axial direction of the second mounting rod 2-31 is consistent with the extension and retraction direction of the elastic member 2-40. One end of the second mounting rod 2-31 is connected to the second mounting seat 2-32, and the other end of the second mounting rod 2-31 abuts against the second limiting rib 2-13, so that the second valve body 2-30 may abut against the second limiting rib 2-13 via the second mounting rod 2-31. One end of the elastic member 2-40 abuts against the first mounting seat 2-22, and the other end of the elastic member 2-40 abuts against the second mounting seat 2-32, so as to connect the first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30 via the elastic member 2-40. Thus, when the first limiting rib 2-12 is in the molten state, the first mounting rod 2-21 is separated from the first limiting rib 2-12. During the extension of the elastic member 2-40 from the compression device to the initial state, the elastic member 2-40 may push the first mounting seat 2-22, so that the first mounting seat 2-22 is in sealing connection with the passage wall to block the fluid passage 2-11. Alternatively, in the case where the second limiting rib 2-13 is in the molten state, the second mounting rod 2-31 is separated from the second limiting rib 2-13. During the extension of the elastic member 2-40 from the compression device to the initial state, the elastic member 2-40 may push the second mounting seat 2-32, so that the second mounting seat 2-32 is in sealed connection with the passage wall to block the fluid passage 2-11.
In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in
One end of the first mounting seat 2-22 away from the first mounting rod 2-21 is provided with the first mounting cavity 2-23, and one end of the second mounting seat 2-32 away from the second mounting rod 2-31 is provided with the second mounting cavity 2-33, so that the first mounting cavity 2-23 is opposite to the second mounting cavity 2-33. The first mounting cavity 2-23 and the second mounting cavity 2-33 may form a space for accommodating the elastic member 2-40, and the elastic member 2-40 may be provided in the first mounting cavity 2-23 and the second mounting cavity 2-33. So that one end of the elastic member 2-40 abuts against the cavity bottom of the first mounting cavity 2-23, and the other end of the elastic member 2-40 abuts against the cavity bottom of the second mounting cavity 2-33. Thus, the elastic member 2-40 disposed between the first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30 may take the first mounting cavity 2-23 and the second mounting cavity 2-33 as a mounting space, reducing the distance between the first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30, so that the distance between the first mounting rod 2-21 and the second mounting rod 2-31 is smaller, and thus distance between the first limiting rib 2-12 and the second limiting ribs 2-13 is smaller, which may reduce the size of the housing 10 from the first opening to the second opening, and reduce the size of the fire protection device 2-100 from the first opening to the second opening, so that the fire protection device 2-100 is smaller and convenient to install and carry.
As shown in
In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in
The first guide rod 2-24 is connected to the cavity bottom of the first mounting cavity 2-23. The elastic member 2-40 may be sleeved on the first guide rod 2-24. The first guide rod 2-24 may guide the extension and retraction of the elastic member 2-40. Thus, the elastic member 2-40 may extend and contract along the first guide rod 2-24, which may avoid the problem that the elastic member 2-40 shifts when extending and contracting, which results in that the force applied by the elastic member 2-40 to the first valve body 2-20 or the second valve body 2-30 shifts, the first valve body 2-20 or the second valve body 2-30 shifts when moving, and the sealing effect on the fluid passages 2-11 and the suppression effect on the fire is poor.
Also/optionally, the second guide rod 2-34 is connected to the cavity bottom of the second mounting cavity 2-33. The elastic member 2-40 may be sleeved on the second guide rod 2-34. The second guide rod 2-34 may guide the extension and retraction of the elastic member 2-40. Thus, the elastic member 2-40 may extend and contract along the second guide rod 2-34, which may avoid the problem that the elastic member 2-40 shifts when extending and contracting, which results in that the force applied by the elastic member 2-40 to the first valve body 2-20 or the second valve body 2-30 shifts, the first valve body 2-20 or the second valve body 2-30 shifts when moving, and the sealing effect on the fluid passages 2-11 and the suppression effect on the fire is poor.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first guide rod 2-24 may be connected to the cavity bottom of the first mounting cavity 2-23, or the second guide rod 2-34 may be connected to the cavity bottom of the second mounting cavity 2-33. Optionally, the first guide rod 2-24 may be connected to the cavity bottom of the first mounting cavity 2-23, and the second guide rod 2-34 may be connected to the cavity bottom of the second mounting cavity 2-33. The elastic member 2-40 is sleeved on the first guide rod 2-24 and the second guide rod 2-34, with a better guiding effect on the extension and retraction of the elastic member 2-40.
In addition, in order to enable that when the first guide rod 2-24 is connected to the cavity bottom of the first mounting cavity 2-23, the first guide rod 2-24 has a better guide effect on the elastic member 2-40, the first guide rod 2-24 may have a longer size and may protrude into the second mounting cavity 2-33. Also, in order to enable that when the second guide rod 2-34 is connected to the cavity bottom of the second mounting cavity 2-33, the second guide rod 2-34 has a better guide effect on the elastic member 2-40, the second guide rod 2-34 may have a longer size, and may protrude into the first mounting cavity 2-23.
It should be noted that, the first mounting cavity 2-23 may not be disposed on the first mounting seat 2-22. The second mounting cavity 2-33 may not be disposed on the second mounting seat 2-32. A surface of the first mounting seat 2-22 facing towards the second mounting seat 2-32 and a surface of the second mounting seat 2-32 facing towards the first mounting seat 2-22 may directly abut against the elastic member 2-40, respectively. The first mounting seat 2-22 or the second mounting seat 2-32 is pushed by the elastic member 2-40. In order to avoid the problem that the elastic member 2-40 easily shifts when the elastic member 2-40 directly abuts against the surface of the first mounting seat 2-22 facing towards the second mounting seat 2-32 and the surface of the second mounting seat 2-32 facing towards the first mounting seat 2-22, the surface of the first mounting seat 2-22 facing towards the second mounting seat 2-32 may be provided with a guide shaft 2-26 which is allowed to extend to the surface of the second mounting seat 2-32 facing towards the first mounting seat 2-22. At this time, the extension and retraction of the elastic member 2-40 may be guided via the guide shaft 2-26. Alternatively, the surface of the second mounting seat 2-32 facing towards the first mounting seat 2-22 may be provided with the guide shaft 2-26, such that the guide shaft 2-26 extends to the surface of the first mounting seat 2-22 facing towards the second mounting seat 2-32, as shown in
In addition, in some embodiments, only the first mounting cavity 2-23 may be disposed on the first mounting seat 2-22, and the first guide rod 2-24 may be provided in the first mounting cavity 2-23, so that two ends of the elastic member 2-40 respectively abut against the cavity bottom of the first mounting cavity 2-23 and the surface of the second mounting seat 2-32 facing towards the first mounting seat 2-22. Optionally, only the second mounting cavity 2-33 may be disposed on the second mounting seat 2-32, and the second guide rod 2-34 may be provided in the second mounting cavity 2-33, so that both ends of the elastic member 2-40 abut against the cavity bottom of the second mounting cavity 2-33 and the surface of the first mounting seat 2-22 facing towards the second mounting seat 2-32, respectively.
In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in
The peripheral portion of the first mounting seat 2-22 is provided with the first positioning portion 2-25. The inner wall of the fluid passage 2-11 is provided with the first positioning groove 2-14. The first positioning portion 2-25 may be embedded in the first positioning groove 2-14. Since the extension direction of the first positioning groove 2-14 is consistent with the extension and retraction direction of the elastic member 2-40, in the case where the first valve body 2-20 moves, the first positioning portion 2-25 may move in the first positioning groove 2-14. In the present embodiment, the first positioning portion 2-25 may be limited by the first positioning groove 2-14 to limit the movement direction of the first mounting seat 2-22, and further to limit the movement direction of the first valve body 2-20, so as to avoid the problem that the first mounting seat 2-22 shifts during the movement and the sealing effect on the fluid passage 2-11 is poor.
Also/optionally, the peripheral portion of the second mounting seat 2-32 is provided with the second positioning portion 2-35. The inner wall of the fluid passage 2-11 is provided with the second positioning groove 2-15. The second positioning portion 2-35 may be embedded in the second positioning groove 2-15. Since the extension direction of the second positioning groove 2-15 is consistent with the extension and retraction direction of the elastic member 2-40, in the case where the second valve body 2-30 moves, the second positioning portion 2-35 may move in the second positioning groove 2-15. In the present embodiment, the second positioning portion 2-35 may be limited by the second positioning groove 2-15 to limit the movement direction of the second mounting seat 2-32 and further to limit the movement direction of the second valve body 2-30, so as to avoid the problem that the second mounting seat 2-32 shifts during the movement and the sealing effect on the fluid passage 2-11 is poor.
It should be noted that a plurality of first positioning portions 2-25 may be provided and are distributed at intervals on the peripheral portion of the first mounting seat 2-22. Correspondingly, a plurality of first positioning grooves 2-14 may also be provided. Each first positioning portion 2-25 is embedded in one positioning groove, so that the movement of the first mounting seat 2-22 may be limited at a plurality of positions, and the limiting effect on the first mounting seat 2-22 is better. Specifically, the number of the first positioning portions 2-25 may be four. At this time, four first positioning portions 2-25 are spaced apart at the peripheral portion of the first mounting seat 2-22, and the angle between each two adjacent first positioning portions 2-25 may be 90°, as shown in
Certainly, the number of the second positioning portions 2-35 may be multiple. Specific reference may be made to the above description of the first positioning portions 2-25, and the embodiments of the present disclosure will not be described in detail.
In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in
The first mounting groove 2-16 is disposed on the inner wall of the fluid passage 2-11. The first mounting groove 2-16 extends along the circumferential direction of the fluid passage 2-11 and surrounds the fluid passage 2-11. The first sealing member 2-17 may be provided in the first mounting groove 2-16. Since a portion of the first sealing member 2-17 extends outside the first mounting groove 2-16, the first sealing member 2-17 extends outside the passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11, so that the first mounting seat 2-22 may abut against the first sealing member 2-17 in the case where the first mounting seat 2-22 moves. It is possible to achieve a sealed connection between the first mounting seat 2-22 and the fluid passage 2-11, so that the first mounting seat 2-22 has a better blocking effect on the fluid passage 2-11, avoiding the problem of having a small amount of oxygen circulation and having a poor fire suppression effect.
The second mounting groove 2-18 is disposed on the inner wall of the fluid passage 2-11. The second mounting groove 2-18 extends along the circumferential direction of the fluid passage 2-11 and surrounds the fluid passage 2-11. The second sealing member 2-19 may be provided in the second mounting groove 2-18. Since a portion of the second sealing member 2-19 extends outside the second mounting groove 2-18, the second sealing member 2-19 extends outside the passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11, so that the second mounting seat 2-32 may abut against the second sealing member 2-19 in the case where the second mounting seat 2-32 moves. It is possible to achieve a sealed connection between the second mounting seat 2-32 and the fluid passage 2-11, so that the second mounting seat 2-32 has a better blocking effect on the fluid passage 2-11, avoiding the problem of having a small amount of oxygen circulation and having a poor fire suppression effect.
It should be noted that, the first sealing member 2-17 and the second sealing member 2-19 may be seal rings having elasticity, such that the first sealing member 2-17 and the second sealing member 2-19 may be compressed with the first mounting seat 2-22 abutting against the first sealing member 2-17 and the second mounting seat 2-32 abutting against the second sealing member 2-19. Thus, the first mounting seat 2-22 and the first sealing member 2-17 are in close contact, and the second mounting seat 2-32 and the second sealing member 2-19 are in close contact. The first sealing member 2-17 and the second sealing member 2-19 may be made of silicone rubber, ethylene-propylene rubber, neoprene rubber, nitrile rubber, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited herein for the specific materials of the first sealing member 2-17 and the second sealing member 2-19.
In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in
The passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11 may have the first blocking platform 2-111 and the second blocking platform 2-112 along the circumferential direction of the fluid passage 2-11. The first blocking platform 2-111 and the second blocking platform 2-112 are spaced apart along the direction from the first opening to the second opening. The first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30 are located between the first blocking platform 2-111 and the second blocking platform 2-112. Since the projection of the first blocking platform 2-111 has an overlapping portion with the projection of the first valve body 2-20 in the direction from the first opening to the second opening, in the case where the first limiting rib 2-12 is in the molten state, the first valve body 2-20 may move to abut against the first blocking platform 2-111, so that the first valve body 2-20 seals the fluid passage 2-11 via the first blocking platform 2-111. Since the projection of the second blocking platform 2-112 has an overlapping portion with the projection of the second valve body 2-30, in the case where the second limiting rib 2-13 is in the molten state, the second valve body 2-30 may move to abut against the second blocking platform 2-112, so that the second valve body 2-30 seals the fluid passage 2-11 via the second blocking platform 2-112.
Herein, the first blocking platform 2-111 has the first surface 2-1111 facing towards the first valve body 2-20 in the direction from the first opening to the second opening. The first mounting groove 2-16 is disposed on the first surface 2-1111, so that the first surface 2-1111 has an angle with the extension direction of the elastic member 2-40. The first valve body 2-20 may abut against the first surface 2-1111 when moving. Since the projection of the first mounting groove 2-16 is located inside the projection of the first valve body 2-20 in the direction from the first opening to the second opening, when the first valve body 2-20 moves, the first valve body 2-20 may abut against the first sealing member 2-17. In the case where the first valve body 2-20 moves to abut against the first sealing member 2-17, the first valve body 2-20 applies a force to the first sealing member 2-17, so that the first sealing member 2-17 deforms towards the first mounting groove 2-16. Thus, the first sealing member 2-17 has a good contact with the first valve body 2-20 and has a good blocking effect on the fluid passage 2-11. The first mounting groove 2-16 extends along the circumferential direction of the fluid passage 2-11. The first sealing member 2-17 also extends around the circumferential direction of the fluid passage 2-11. The first valve body 2-20 may abut against the first sealing member 2-17 in all directions along the fluid passage 2-11, with a better blocking effect on the fluid passage 2-11.
Also/optionally, the second blocking platform 2-112 has the second surface 2-1121 facing towards the second valve body 2-30 in the direction from the first opening to the second opening. The second mounting groove 2-18 is disposed on the second surface 2-1121, so that the second surface 2-1121 has an angle with the extension direction of the elastic member 2-40. The second valve body 2-30 may abut against the second surface 2-1121 when moving. Since the projection of the second mounting groove 2-18 is located inside the projection of the second valve body 2-30 in the direction from the first opening to the second opening, when the second valve body 2-30 moves, the second valve body 2-30 may abut against the second sealing member 2-19. In the case where the second valve body 2-30 moves to abut against the second sealing member 2-19, the second valve body 2-30 applies a force to the second sealing member 2-19, so that the second sealing member 2-19 deforms towards the second mounting groove 2-18. Thus, the second sealing member 2-19 has a good contact with the second valve body 2-30, and has a good blocking effect on the fluid passage 2-11. The second mounting groove 2-18 extends along the circumferential direction of the fluid passage 2-11. The second sealing member 2-19 also extends around the circumferential direction of the fluid passage 2-11. The second valve body 2-30 may abut against the second sealing member 2-19 in all directions along the fluid passage 2-11, with a better blocking effect on the fluid passage 2-11.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first sealing member 2-17 is disposed on the first surface 2-1111, and is deformed towards the first surface 2-1111 when the first valve body 2-20 moves. The second sealing member 2-19 is disposed on the second surface 2-1121, and is deformed towards the second surface 2-1121 when the second valve body 2-30 moves. It may avoid the problem that when the first sealing member 2-17 is directly disposed on the passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11, when the second sealing member 2-19 is directly disposed on the passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11, and when the first valve body 2-20 or the second valve body 2-30 moves to press the first sealing member 2-17 and the second sealing member 2-19, the first sealing member 2-17 and the second sealing member 2-19 are deformed along the extension and retraction direction of the elastic member 2-40. There is a risk that the first valve body 2-20 passes over the first sealing member 2-17 and the second valve body 2-30 passes over the second sealing member 2-19, which results in that the first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30 lose the sealing effect on the fluid passage 2-11.
In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in
The housing 10 may include the first sub-housing 2-122 and the second sub-housing 2-124. The first sub-housing 2-122 is disposed opposite to the second sub-housing 2-124. The first passage 2-123 is disposed inside the first sub-housing 2-122, and the second passage 2-125 is disposed inside the second sub-housing 2-124, so that after the first sub-housing 2-122 is connected to the second sub-housing 2-124, the first passage 2-123 communicates with the second passage 2-125 to form the fluid passage 2-11. The first valve body 2-20 is disposed in the first sub-housing 10, and the second valve body 2-30 is disposed in the second sub-housing 10.
It should be noted that since the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument and the pipeline of the oxygen supply end are generally small, both ends of the housing 10 as a whole are also small, and the housing 10 may be made into a structure with thick in the middle and thin at sides. Accordingly, the fluid passage 2-11 may also be made into a structure with a thick in middle and thin at sides. The middle part of the housing 10 may provide a mounting space for the first mounting seat 2-22 and the second mounting seat 2-32, as shown in
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing 10 is provided separately, and specifically includes the first sub-housing 2-122 and the second sub-housing 2-124, so as to facilitate the installation of the first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30, and to avoid the problem that the first mounting seat 2-22 and the second mounting seat 2-32 are large in size and difficult to install from the smaller ends.
In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in
The first opening is connected with the first joint 2-51, and the second opening is connected with the second joint 2-52. Since the first joint 2-51 is in communication with the fluid passage 2-11, and the second joint 2-52 is in communication with the fluid passage 2-11, the fire protection device 2-100 may communicate with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the pipeline of the oxygen supply end via the first joint 2-51 and the second joint 2-52, so as to apply the fire protection device 2-100 during the oxygen therapy.
It should be noted that since the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument and the pipeline of the oxygen supply end are generally small, both ends of the housing 10 as a whole are also small, and the housing 10 may be made into a structure with thick in the middle and thin at sides. Accordingly, the fluid passage 2-11 may also be made into a structure with a thick in middle and thin at sides. The middle part of the housing 10 may provide a mounting space for the first mounting seat 2-22 and the second mounting seat 2-32. In addition, the fluid passage 2-11 with a larger middle part may also avoid affecting the flow of oxygen. Since the pipeline to which the fire protection device 2-100 is connected is smaller, when the oxygen flows to the middle part of the fluid passage 2-11, the oxygen may flow from the gap between the first mounting seat 2-22 and the passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11 and the gap between the second mounting seat 2-32 and the passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11. Since the middle part of the fluid passage 2-11 is also larger, the amount of oxygen circulating in the gaps between the first mounting seat 2-22 and the passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11 and between the second mounting seat 2-32 and the passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11 is equal to the amount of oxygen circulating in the pipeline, so that the provision of the first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30 may be prevented from affecting the circulation of oxygen.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the fire protection device 2-100 includes the housing 10, the first valve body 2-20, the second valve body 2-30, and the elastic member 2-40. The housing 10 has the fluid passage 2-11 therein. One end of the housing 10 has the first opening, and the second end of the housing 10 has the second opening. The first opening and the second opening are in communication with the fluid passage 2-11, therefore, the first opening, the fluid passage 2-11, and the second opening may form a passage for the circulation of gas. Herein, the first opening and the second opening are used for communicating with the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument or the pipeline of the oxygen supply end, so that one end of the fluid passage 2-11 may be connected to the pipeline of the oxygen therapy instrument through the first opening and the second opening, and the other end of the fluid passage 11 may be connected to the pipeline of the oxygen supply end. The oxygen therapy instrument may deliver oxygen to the patient through the oxygen supply end. The first limiting rib 2-12 is fixed on the hole wall of the first opening. The second limiting rib 2-13 is fixed on the hole wall of the second opening. The first end of the first valve body 2-20 abuts against the first limiting rib 2-12. The second end of the second valve body 2-30 abuts against the second limiting rib 2-13. The elastic member 2-40 is connected between the second end of the first valve body 2-20 and the second end of the second valve body 2-30, so that the first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30 may be distributed at intervals along the direction from the first opening to the second opening. Since the elastic member 2-40 is in the compressed state, and the extension and retraction direction of the elastic member 2-40 is consistent with the extension direction of the fluid passage 2-11, the elastic member 2-40 may exert a force on the first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30, so that the first valve body 2-20 has a tendency to move in a direction towards the first opening, and the second valve body 2-30 has a tendency to move towards the second opening. At this time, the first limiting rib 2-12 may block the first valve body 2-20, and the second limiting rib 2-13 may block the second valve body 2-30. Since the gaps for the circulation of the gas is provided between the peripheral portion of the first valve body 2-20 and the passage wall 2-11 of the fluid passage and between the peripheral portion of the second valve body 2-30 and the passage wall 2-11 of the fluid passage, in normal use, the gas may flow through the gaps so that the oxygen therapy instrument may be normally used. In the case where the first limiting rib 2-12 is in the molten state, the first limiting rib 2-12 loses a blocking effect on the first valve body 2-20. At this time, the elastic member 2-40 is elongated, namely, the elastic member 2-40 may release the elastic potential energy, and the first valve body 2-20 moves to the first position in the direction towards the first opening under the elastic force of the elastic member 2-40, so that the first valve body 2-20 is in sealed connection with the passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11, thereby blocking the fluid passage 2-11 and preventing oxygen from continuing to flow in the fluid passage 2-11. In the case where the second limiting rib 2-13 is in the molten state, the second limiting rib 2-13 loses a blocking effect on the second valve body 2-30. At this time, the elastic member 2-40 is elongated, namely, the elastic member 2-40 may release the elastic potential energy. The second valve body 2-30 moves to the second position in the direction towards the second opening under the elastic force of the elastic member 2-40, so that the second valve body 2-30 is in sealed connection with the passage wall of the fluid passage 2-11, thereby blocking the fluid passage 2-11 and preventing oxygen from continuing to flow in the fluid passage 2-11.
That is, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, if a flame is induced due to improper operation during the oxygen therapy, the first limiting rib 2-12 or the second limiting rib 2-13 burns in a molten state. At this time, the elastic member 2-40 disposed between the first valve body 2-20 and the second valve body 2-30 may push the first valve body 2-20 or the second valve body 2-30 to move, so that the first valve body 2-20 or the second valve body 2-30 is in sealed connection with the fluid passage 2-11, thereby blocking the fluid passage 2-11. The fire protection device 2-100 may prevent the oxygen from continuing to flow in the fluid passage 2-11, avoid the problem that the flame with the oxygen pipe gradually burns to the fuselage, which easily causes the spread of fire and finally ignites the oxygen generator to have serious fire.
In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure also include a ventilation treatment apparatus including an oxygen therapy instrument, an oxygen supply end, and the fire protection device 2-100 in any one of the above-mentioned embodiments. The first opening is connected to the oxygen therapy instrument, and the second opening is connected to the oxygen supply end; or, the second opening is connected to the oxygen therapy instrument, and the first opening is connected to the oxygen supply end.
In the fire protection device 2-100 described above, when in a fire, the first valve body 2-20 or the second valve body 2-30 may be in sealed connection to the fluid passage 2-11, so as to block the fluid passage 2-11. The fire protection device 2-100 may prevent the oxygen from continuing to flow in the fluid passage 2-11, avoid the problem that the flame with the oxygen pipe gradually burns to the fuselage, which easily causes the spread of fire and finally ignites the oxygen generator to have serious fire.
