Description

  • Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.
    • Stand der Technik
  • Derartige Abfüllstationen sind bereits in verschiedener Form und Ausgestaltung bekannt und gebräuchlich. In diesem Zusammenhang wird auf die US 2003/0234019 A1 hingewiesen, welche ebenfalls eine Abfüllvorrichtung für Tauchflaschen offenbart.
  • Daneben wird auch auf die US 6,182,713 B1 hingewiesen, welche eine industrielle Abfüllanlage von Gasen und Gasgemischen beschreibt.
  • 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.
  • 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.
    • Aufgabe
  • Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine möglichst schnelle, genaue und einwandfreie Mischung aus verschiedenen Gasen für spezielle Bedürfnisse von Tauchern zusammenzustellen und dabei gerade unprofessionellen Nutzern eine Möglichkeit der Zusammenstellung von Mischungen für ihre speziellen Bedürfnisse zusammenzustellen.
    • Lösung der Aufgabe
  • Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt der kennzeichnende Teil des Anspruchs 1.
  • Taucher nutzen bei speziellen Mischungen von Gasen zum überwiegenden Teil 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
    • Figurenbeschreibung
  • Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele sowie anhand der Zeichnung; diese zeigen in ihrer einzigen Figur ein exemplarisches Schaubild einer erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung.
  • Eine Mischeinheit 1 ist über geeignete Leitungen mit jeweils einem Druckbehältnis 2, 3, 4 verbunden. Ausserdem ist die Mischeinheit über geeignete Verbindungen mit einer Eingabestation 6 verbunden. Zuletzt ist ausserdem eine Tauchflasche 5 gezeigt, die über einen Schlauch oder eine dementsprechende Leitung mit der Mischeinheit 1 verbunden ist.
  • Die Funktionsweise der vorliegenden Erfindung ist folgende:
    • Zunächst schliesst der Nutzer die Tauchflasche an die Mischeinheit 1 an. Dabei nutzt er den vorhandenen Schlauch oder die vorhandene Anschlussmöglichkeit.
  • Danach bedient der Nutzer die Eingabestation 6. Dabei gibt er im Einzelnen entweder manuell oder durch Einlesen von Daten eines Datenträgers der Eingabestation 6 bekannt, in welcher Weise die Tauchflasche 5 durch die Mischeinheit 1 gefüllt werden soll. Die Mischeinheit 1 verfügt hierzu über Magnetventile, die die Leitungen der Druckbehältnisse 2, 3, 4 entsprechend der Vorgaben des Nutzers öffnen und/oder schliessen.
  • Je nach dem wird der Inhalt der Druckbehältnisse 2, 3, 4 durch die Mischeinheit 1 in die Tauchflasche 5 geleitet. Dabei beinhaltet das Druckbehältnis 2 Sauerstoff, das Druckbehältnis 3 Helium und das Druckbehältnis 4 Argon.
  • Zuletzt entfernt der Nutzer ggf. den Datenträger aus der Eingabestation 6 und entnimmt die mit einem speziellen Gemisch gefüllte Tauchflasche 5.
