Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Chemikalsauerstoffgerät nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a chemical oxygen device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Nach dem Stand der Technik sind Chemikalpatronen für Atemschutzgeräte bekannt. Eine derartige Chemikalpatrone wird in der DE 26 35 376 C2 beschrieben. Bei dieser Ausführung wird das durch einen oberen und unteren Raum begrenzte Chemikal von der Ausatemluft über eine Stirn und Mantelfläche des Chemikalvolumens durchströmt und gelangt als atembare Luft über ein am Umfang mit Bohrungen versehenes Zentralrohr in einen Atembeutel.Chemical cartridges for breathing apparatus are known in the prior art. Such a chemical cartridge is described in DE 26 35 376 C2. In this embodiment, the chemical bounded by an upper and lower space is flowed through by the exhaled air through an end and outer surface of the chemical volume and reaches a breathing bag as breathable air via a central tube provided with holes on the circumference.

Dabei ist von Nachteil, daß neben der unzureichenden Durchströmung des Chemikals und damit verbundene Begrenzung der Einsatzdauer derartiger Geräte durch eine unvollständige Nutzung des Chemikals in der Einsatzzeit eine erhebliche Belastung der Träger dieses Atemschutzgerätes durch die Notwendigkeit der Überwindung hoher Atemwiderstände besteht.The disadvantage here is that, in addition to the insufficient flow through the chemical and the associated limitation of the duration of use of such devices due to incomplete use of the chemical during use, there is a considerable strain on the wearer of this respirator due to the need to overcome high breathing resistance.

Eine verbesserte Chemikalpatrone für Atemschutzgeräte, die den Nachteil der unzureichenden Durchströmung überwindet und damit zu einer besseren Ausnutzung des Chemikals führt, ist aus der DE 41 26 685 bekannt. Gemäß dieser Lösung sind zwei Rohrstutzen in der Chemikalpatrone so angeordnet, daß auch Randbereiche des Chemikals mit größerer Sicherheit von der Ausatemluft durchströmt werden.An improved chemical cartridge for respiratory protective devices, which overcomes the disadvantage of insufficient flow and thus leads to better use of the chemical, is known from DE 41 26 685. According to this solution, two pipe sockets are arranged in the chemical cartridge so that even peripheral areas of the chemical are more reliably flowed through by the exhaled air.

Nachteil dieser Lösung ist, daß bei dieser verbesserten Lösung eine von den Einsatzbedingungen unabhängige Einsatzzeit mit einer Sicherheitsreserve vorgegeben werden muß und, daß durch den Anwender dieser Atemschutzgeräte ebenfalls hohe Atemwiderstände zu überwinden sind.Disadvantages of this solution are that, with this improved solution, a period of use that is independent of the operating conditions must be specified with a safety reserve and that the user of these respiratory protective devices also has to overcome high breathing resistance.

Bei handelsüblichen Chemikalsauerstoffgeräten ist das Partikelfilter unmittelbar am Einatemventil angeordnet. Das führt dazu, das beim Einatmen durch den Benutzer der Filterwiderstand überwunden werden muß.In the case of commercially available chemical oxygen devices, the particle filter is arranged directly on the inhalation valve. As a result, the filter resistance must be overcome when the user inhales.

Zum Stand der Technik gehören weiter Chemikalsauerstoffgeräte, die mit einer zeitgesteuerten Verbrauchsanzeige angeboten werden, wobei aus Sicherheitsgründen mit einer unvollständigen Nutzung des Chemikals in der Einsatzzeit kalkuliert werden muß, da eine Zeitsteuerung immer nur unabhängig von den Einsatzbedingungen sein kann.The state of the art also includes chemical oxygen devices, which are offered with a time-controlled consumption display, whereby for safety reasons an incomplete use of the chemical must be calculated during the time of use, since a time control can only ever be independent of the conditions of use.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, die Einsatzbedingungen von Chemikalsauerstoffgeräten durch eine Reduzierung der Atemwiderstände und durch eine Verbrauchsanzeige, die jederzeit den noch verfügbaren Vorrat an Atemgas anzeigt, zu verbessern.The invention is therefore based on the object of improving the conditions of use of chemical oxygen devices by reducing the breathing resistance and by means of a consumption display which shows the still available supply of breathing gas at all times.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen darin; daß eine vorgegebene Menge Chemikal zur Erzeugung von Sauerstoff optimal und unabhängig von den Einsatzbedingungen ausgenutzt wird, wodurch eine längere Einsatzzeit für das Atemschutzgerät möglich ist.The advantages achieved with the invention are; that a predetermined amount of chemical for the generation of oxygen is used optimally and regardless of the conditions of use, which means that a longer period of use for the breathing apparatus is possible.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Die Fig. zeigt eine schematische Darstellung eines Ausführungsbeispiels des erfindungsgemäßen Chemikalsauerstoffgerätes.The invention is explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. The figure shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the chemical oxygen device according to the invention.

Wie aus der Fig. erkennbar ist, wird das Chemikalsauerstoffgerät in Kreislaufatmung betrieben.As can be seen from the figure, the chemical oxygen device is operated in circulatory breathing.

Es besteht aus einem tragbaren Gehäuse (1) in dem zwei Chemikalpatronen (2), die als Chemikal eine CO₂ bindende und O₂ abgebende Substanz, z.B. Kaliumhyperoxid, enthalten, nebeneinander angeordnet sind.It consists of a portable housing (1) in which two chemical cartridges (2), the chemical as a CO₂ binding and O₂ releasing substance, e.g. Potassium hyperoxide contained, are arranged side by side.

Die Chemikalpatronen (2) sind ausatemseitig mit einem Atembeutel (3) für die Ausatemluft verbunden, an dessen Eingang ein Ausatemventil (5), in dem ein Gebläse (8) und an dessen Wandung ein Überdruckventil (11) angeordnet ist. Einatemseitig sind die Chemikalpatronen (2) mit einem Atembeutel (7) für die Einatemluft verbunden, an dessen Eingang ein Partikelfilter (6) und an dessen Ausgang ein Einatemventil (4) angeordnet ist. Zur Energieversorgung des Gebläses (8) ist im Gehäuse (1) eine Energiequelle (10), z.B. eine Batterie oder ein Akkumulator, angeordnet.The chemical cartridges (2) are connected on the exhalation side to a breathing bag (3) for the exhaled air, at the inlet of which there is an exhalation valve (5) in which a blower (8) and on the wall of which a pressure relief valve (11) is arranged. On the inhalation side, the chemical cartridges (2) are connected to a breathing bag (7) for the inhaled air, a particle filter (6) at the inlet and an inhalation valve (4) at the outlet. To supply the fan (8) with energy, there is an energy source (10) in the housing (1), e.g. a battery or an accumulator arranged.

Zur Zündung des Chemikals in den Chemikalpatronen (2) sind an deren Boden Zündvorrichtungen (12) angeordnet. Gebläse (8), Energiequelle (10) und die Zündvorrichtungen sind elektrisch mit einer Auswerteeinheit (9) verbunden.To ignite the chemical in the chemical cartridges (2), ignition devices (12) are arranged on the bottom thereof. Blower (8), energy source (10) and the ignition devices are electrically connected to an evaluation unit (9).

Die Durchströmung der einzelnen Bauteile des Chemikalsauerstoffgerätes wird durch Pfeile in der Zeichnung dargestellt.The flow through the individual components of the chemical oxygen device is shown by arrows in the drawing.

Bei der Ausatmung braucht der Betreiber des erfindungsgemäßen Chemikalsauerstoffgerätes lediglich den Atemwiderstand des Ausatemventils (5) überwinden. Die Überwindung der Atemwiderstände der Chemikalpatronen (2) und des Partikelfilters (6) übernimmt das Gebläse (8), das erstmals in Chemikalsauerstoffgeräten eingesetzt wird.When exhaling, the operator of the chemical oxygen device according to the invention only needs to overcome the breathing resistance of the exhalation valve (5). The blower (8), which is used in chemical oxygen devices for the first time, overcomes the breathing resistance of the chemical cartridges (2) and the particle filter (6).

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung des Partikelfilters (6) am Eingang des Einatembeutels (7) wurde erreicht, daß der Betreiber beim Einatmen lediglich den Atemwiderstand des Einatemventils überwinden muß und nicht, wie bei Lösungen des Standes der Technik üblich, durch eine Verbindung von Einatemventil und Filter zusätzlich den Atemwiderstand des Partikelfilters (6).The inventive arrangement of the particle filter (6) at the entrance of the inhalation bag (7) achieved that the operator only has to overcome the breathing resistance of the inhalation valve during inhalation and not, as is customary in solutions of the prior art, by connecting the inhalation valve and filter additionally the breathing resistance of the particle filter (6).

Die Einsatzbedingungen des erfindungsgemäßen Chemikalsauerstoffgerätes werden weiter durch die Auswerteeinheit (9) verbessert, die jederzeit den verfügbaren Vorrat an Atemgas anzeigt. Die Anzeige kann z.B. durch die Auswertung der Geräteparameter des Gebläses (8) und dem daraus sich ergebenden Verbrauch an Chemikal in Form des noch vorhandenen Vorrates erfolgen.The conditions of use of the chemical oxygen device according to the invention are further improved by the evaluation unit (9), which displays the available supply of breathing gas at all times. The display can e.g. by evaluating the device parameters of the blower (8) and the resulting consumption of chemical in the form of the remaining stock.

Die Auswerteeinheit (9) dient weiterhin der Anzeige des Ladezustandes der Energiequelle (10) und der Auslösung der Initialzündungen über die Zündvorrichtungen (12).The evaluation unit (9) also serves to display the state of charge of the energy source (10) and to trigger the initial ignitions via the ignition devices (12).

Die Chemikalpatronen (2) sind als Doppelmantelbehälter, die mit einem Kühlmedium ausgerüstet sind, ausgebildet, um das durch ein exotherme Reaktion entstehende warme Einatemgas zu kühlen.The chemical cartridges (2) are designed as double-jacketed containers, which are equipped with a cooling medium, in order to cool the warm inhalation gas produced by an exothermic reaction.
