Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Befüllen einer Tauchflasche und ein Verfahren zum Betreiben dieser.The The invention relates to a device for filling a diving bottle and a method for operating this.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Derartige Abfüllstationen sind bereits in verschiedener Form und Ausgestaltung bekannt und gebräuchlich. So ist beispielsweise aus der DE 298 20 418 U1 eine Anmeldung bekannt, die eine Anlage beschreibt, die in der Weise aufgebaut ist, dass nur Personen die Anlage bedienen können, die eine Zugangsberechtigung erhalten haben. Die Anlage ist abgeschlossen, und nur zu öffnen über ein Zahlenschloss, einen Schlüssel oder eine elektronische Verschliesstechnik. Hat der Kunde die Anlage geöffnet, befindet sich in der Füllstation ein Schlauch, über den der Nutzer seine Pressluftflasche an die Füllstation anschliessen kann. Danach kann der Nutzer über einen Münzzähler oder einer anderen Art von Zahlungssysteme das Endgelt für die abgefüllte reine Atemluft bezahlen.Such filling stations are already known and used in various forms and configurations. For example, from the DE 298 20 418 U1 a registration is known, which describes a system which is constructed in such a way that only persons can operate the system, which have been granted access. The system is completed, and only to be opened via a combination lock, a key or an electronic locking technique. If the customer has opened the system, there is a hose in the filling station, via which the user can connect his compressed air cylinder to the filling station. Thereafter, the user can pay via a coin counter or other type of payment systems, the Endgelt for the bottled pure breath.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist insbesondere die US 4 860 803 A zu erwähnen, wobei es sich hierbei um eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen sauerstoffangereicherter Luft handelt. Dabei wird reiner Sauerstoff mit Normalluft unter Kompressionsdruck verdichtet und in einen entsprechenden Behälter verbracht.From the prior art is in particular the US 4,860,803 A. to mention, which is a device for producing oxygen-enriched air. This pure oxygen is compressed with normal air under compression pressure and placed in a corresponding container.

Nachteilig hierbei ist, dass der Nutzer nur die reine Atemluft abfüllen kann. Ein spezielles Gemisch aus verschiedenen Gasen, zum Beispiel für Tiefseetaucher, ist auf diese Weise nicht erhältlich und muss immer noch per Hand über Anschluss der Tauchflasche an jede einzelne Druckflasche mit dem betreffenden speziellen Gas erreicht werden.adversely Here it is that the user can fill only the pure breathing air. A special mixture of different gases, for example for deep-sea divers, is not available in this way and still has to be hand over Connect the dipping bottle to each individual pressure bottle with the specific gas in question.

Aufgabetask

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine möglichst schnelle, genaue und einwandfreie Mischung aus verschiedenen Gasen für spezielle Bedürfnisse von Tauchern zusammenzustellen und es dem Nutzer dabei zu ermöglichen entweder über eigens bespielte Datenträger oder durch Auswahl von zur Verfügung gestellten Gasmischungen seine individuelle Mischung zu erhalten.Of the present invention is based on the object as possible fast, accurate and perfect mix of different gases for special needs by divers and make it possible for the user either over specially recorded data carriers or by selecting from gas mixes to obtain its individual blend.

Lösung der AufgabeSolution of the task

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 sowie den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 6. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen dazu sind in den weiteren Patentansprüchen gegeben.The Task is solved with the features of claim 1 and the features of the claim 6. Advantageous embodiments thereof are given in the further claims.

Taucher nutzen bei speziellen Mischungen von Gasen zum überwiegenden Teil aus Sauerstoff, Helium und/oder Argon. Diese Aufzählung der Gase soll nicht abschliessend sein. Zunächst einmal kommen hierbei auch andere Gase, insbesondere Edelgase zum Einsatz. Letztendlich soll jedes Gas vom Erfindungsgedanken abgedeckt sein, das zur Nutzung durch Taucher für spezielle Taucheinsätze geeignet ist.Diver for special blends of gases use mostly oxygen, helium and / or argon. This list gases should not be final. First of all, come here Other gases, especially noble gases used. At long last Each gas should be covered by the idea of the invention, which is to use by divers for special diving inserts suitable is.

Daneben soll der Begriff der Tauchflasche nicht nur auf die handelsüblich zu erhaltende Gasflasche von Tauchern abzielen, sondern auch für jegliche anderen Druckflaschen, die zur Nutzung von Tauchern geeignet sein kann.Besides The concept of the diving bottle should not be limited to the commercial one Targeting gas cylinder of divers, but also for any other pressure bottles suitable for use by divers can.

Als Mischeinheit wird im Rahmen des Erfindungsgedankens jede Vorrichtung bezeichnet, die dazu geeignet ist, verschiedene Gase aus verschiedenen Druckbehältnissen zusammenzuführen, wobei die Gase entweder in der Mischeinheit gemischt werden, bevor das Gemisch in die Flasche verbracht wird oder die Mischeinheit jedes einzelne Druckbehältnis ansteuert, das betreffende Gas in die Tauchflasche verbringt und so nacheinander das Gemisch erst in der Tauchflasche entsteht.When Mixing unit is within the scope of the inventive concept, each device designated, which is suitable for different gases from different pressure containers merge, wherein the gases are mixed either in the mixing unit before the mixture is put into the bottle or the mixing unit every single pressure vessel controls, spends the gas in question in the scuba tank and so successively the mixture is formed only in the dip tank.

Die Mischeinheit wird dabei massgeblich von einer Eingabestation gesteuert. Diese Eingabestation ist in der Weise gestaltet, dass der Nutzer prozentual oder als absolute Menge einen Anteil eines Gases am Gemisch festlegen kann.The Mixing unit is significantly controlled by an input station. This input station is designed in such a way that the user as a percentage or as an absolute amount, a proportion of a gas in the mixture can set.

Die einzelnen Daten kann er dabei auch auf einem Speichermedium, wie einem USB-Stick, Speicherkarte oder dergleichen vorher festlegen und einfach durch Verbindungsaufbau der Eingabestation zuführen.The he can also store individual data on a storage medium, such as a USB stick, memory card or the like previously set and simply by connecting to the input station.

Die Eingabestation steuert dann entsprechend den Vorgaben durch den Nutzer Magnetventile in der Mischeinheit, die die einzelnen Druckbehältnisse ansteuern und somit das entsprechende Gas in der gewollten prozentualen oder absoluten Menge in die Tauchflasche bringen. Hierbei soll die Eingabestation über eine Software verfügen, die dem einzelnen Nutzer auch verschiedene Zusammensetzungen von Mischungen empfiehlt, wenn dieser der Eingabestation mitteilt, für welche Belange er die Tauchflasche einsetzen möchte.The Input station then controls according to the specifications by the Users solenoid valves in the mixing unit containing the individual pressure vessels drive and thus the appropriate gas in the desired percentage or the absolute amount in the scuba tank. Here is the Input station via have a software, the individual user also different compositions of Mixtures recommends, if this informs the input station, for which If he wants to use the scuba tank.
