Definitions
- the invention relates to a warning device with a measuring cell and alarm transmitters for displaying the state of exhaustion of a gas filter in connection with a breathing connection, the warning device being designed as a unit separate from the gas filter.
- Such a warning device is already known from DE-A-36 13 512.
- Optical and acoustic signal indicators are used in an electronic circuit arrangement as alarm devices, the measured value triggering the alarm being determined by means of an electrochemical measuring cell.
- the use of optical and acoustic signals as alarm devices can be ignored or overlooked by the device wearer in the event of noise or poor visibility.
- the object of the invention is therefore to create a warning device of the type mentioned at the outset which clearly and safely indicates to the device wearer the state of exhaustion of the gas filter even in the event of noise and poor visibility.
- the warning device 1 essentially consists of a housing 2 into which a measuring cell 3, an electronic circuit 4 connected to it in terms of circuitry, a battery 5, a pivotable mechanical device 6 with a permanent magnet 7 and an electromagnetic interrupter 7 a is arranged.
- the warning device 1 is flanged to an upright breathing tube 8 via a lateral opening 9 and is in flow connection with the breathing tube.
- the breathing tube 8 is designed as a functional part for the warning device 1 and has a stop element 10 against which the pivotable flap piece 14 bears in an end position.
- the breathing tube 8 with the warning device 1 is connected behind the latter in the flow direction 12 to indicate the state of exhaustion of a gas filter 11.
- the direction of flow 12 is synonymous with the direction of the inhaled air.
- the breathing tube 8 is connected in the flow direction with its opening 13 to a breathing tube, not shown in the drawing, with a breath connection.
- the mechanical device 6, which is controlled via the measuring cell 3 and the electronic circuit 4, closes the flow cross section of the breathing tube 8 with its pivotable flap piece 14 when the gas filter 11 is exhausted and thus shows the wearer of the gas filter 11 by increasing the breathing resistance.
- the mechanical device 6 consists essentially of a circular flap piece 14, an axis of rotation 15 which is fixed on the edge of the flap piece and a spring drive 16 which, when triggered, swings the flap piece into the breathing tube 8 against the stop element 10.
- the flap piece 14 has a slightly smaller diameter than the inside diameter of the breathing tube 8. Concentric to the circular flap piece 14, an opening 17 is machined into it, through which the device wearer can breathe when the flap piece 14 closes the flow cross section of the breathing tube 8 in the event of an indication of exhaustion. The remaining cross-section of the opening 17 then causes the device wearer to increase the inhalation resistance. At one end of the axis of rotation 15, a lever 18 is arranged, on which the device carrier can manually pivot the flap piece 14 blocking the flow cross section of the breathing tube 8 into the starting position, ie to rest against the permanent magnet 7, so that the full flow cross section of the breathing tube 8 can be inhaled is available again. The increased inhalation resistance is then lower again for the device wearer.
- the manual pivoting back of the flap piece 14 by means of the lever 18 corresponds to the acknowledgment of the triggered display of the state of exhaustion of the gas filter 11 which retains the harmful gases.
- the device carrier thus warned can then leave the pollutant-containing room for the time to replace the gas filter, with sufficient time.
- an electromotive drive (not shown in the drawing) for pivoting into the flow cross section of the breathing tube 8 can be provided on the flap piece 14, an acknowledgment switch (also not shown in the drawing) causing the flap piece 14 to pivot back electromotively.
- Fig. 3 the electronic circuit arrangement of the warning device 1 is shown as a block diagram.
- the measuring cell 3 is a signal amplifier 19 and this a threshold switch 20 and as an alarm, the mechanical device 6 according to the invention with the permanent magnet 7 and the electromagnetic interrupter 7 a downstream.
- the battery 5 is provided with a battery monitor 21 for supplying power to the circuit arrangement.
- the switching threshold of the threshold switch 20 is set to the measurement signal corresponding to the measurement value which triggers the alarm corresponds to a certain harmful gas concentration, which indicates the end of the period of use of the gas filter 11.
- the measuring signal coming from the measuring cell 3 exceeds the set switching threshold (alarm threshold) of the threshold switch 20, its output is turned on and the electromagnetic interrupter 7 a is activated such that the magnet 7 is deactivated and the held flap piece 14 is released, which is then released by means of the
- the spring drive 16 swings suddenly into the breathing tube 8 and comes to rest against the stop 10 in the end position.
- the flap piece 14 closes the flow cross section of the breathing tube 8 and only the opening 17, which is worked in concentrically in the flap piece, remains as a passage for inhalation for the device wearer. Due to the relatively small opening 17, the inhalation resistance increases noticeably. This is then the sign for the equipment carrier that the gas filter 11 will be exhausted in a short time.
- FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of the warning device 1, in which, in addition to the flap device 6 described above and connected in parallel to it, a light-emitting diode 22 is provided as an optical alarm transmitter and a signal transmitter 23 as an acoustic alarm transmitter.
- An electrochemical measuring cell can be provided as the measuring cell 3, which works on the principle of electrochemical oxidation. It serves as a measuring element for the detection of harmful concentrations of harmful gas in the inhaled air, which can no longer be retained or removed by the gas filter 11 connected upstream of the measuring element in the event of being exhausted. In other words: the measuring element 3 measures a certain harmful pollutant concentration, which indicates that the pollutant retained in the gas filter 11 breaks through, which means that the gas filter is exhausted. Electrochemical measuring cells already exist for the detection of carbon monoxide, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, hydrocyanic acid and oxygen, which can be used in the warning device 1 for the corresponding gas filter.
- a semiconductor sensor can be used as the measuring element, as a result of which a larger number of pollutants to be detected can advantageously be measured.
