Definitions

  • the invention relates to a respirator for normal pressure and overpressure operation.
  • Respiratory masks are used, for example, for combating harmful fires and in dealing with dangerous substances and goods. Respiratory masks with the operating modes "normal pressure” and “overpressure” are known.
  • the "normal pressure" operating mode is present, for example, when a respiratory protection filter is connected to the respiratory mask.
  • the pressure level in the interior of the respirator corresponds to that of the atmospheric pressure.
  • the operating mode "overpressure" is present, for example, in the case of a connection of a breathing apparatus of a compressed air breathing apparatus to the respiratory mask.
  • the pressure level in the interior of the respirator is greater than that of the atmospheric pressure.
  • the generation of overpressure is not required for every application.
  • the air inhaled directly by the mask wearer is cleaned, for example, by a filter located on a breathing connection.
  • the exhalation valve is normally closed and only opens during the exhalation phase of the mask wearer due to the exhalation pressure that arises in the mask.
  • the pressure level within the mask corresponds to the level of the external pressure.
  • the pressure level within the mask shifts by a certain positive amount compared to the level of the outside atmospheric pressure, so that the mask internal pressure is above the respective atmospheric pressure during both inhalation and exhalation.
  • the exhalation valve also opens here during the Exhalation due to the exhalation pressure in the mask.
  • the exhalation valve must close against the now existing pressure level gradient.
  • the exhalation valve thus has different pressures depending on the operating mode.
  • the exhalation valve must therefore be controlled according to the respective operating mode in the case of a respirator with the operating modes "normal pressure” and "overpressure".
  • the IT 1 227 248 discloses a spring opposing the opening of the exhaust valve which acts on a pin projecting outside the mask.
  • the pin is arranged to be pressed to increase the pressure of the spring when the internal pressure of the mask is increased, for example, by connecting a SCBA.
  • the DE 10 2004 052 173 B3 shows a respirator of the type mentioned, in which a bias of a valve spring via an adjusting means is changeable, wherein the adjusting means is designed as a pivotable about an axis of rotation angle lever.
  • GB 2 264 646 A describes a respirator with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • This respirator has a complicated mechanism which is designed to automatically by the process of inserting the breathing air hose to the mask switching the mode from "normal operation” to "over-pressure operation” cause.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a respirator with the modes "normal pressure” and “pressure” so that a switch between the modes by means of a simple mechanical mechanism is possible.
  • the respiratory mask according to the invention comprises at least one respiratory connection, an exhalation valve with a valve spring, an adjusting element influencing the pretension of the valve spring and a sliding element with a first and a second switching position.
  • the sliding element is further designed to act in a translational movement of the first switching position in the second switching position on the adjusting element, so that a change in the bias of the valve spring is reached and thus switching from the operating mode "normal pressure” to the operating mode "overpressure” is executable, where
  • the adjusting element is designed as a pivotable lever arm.
  • the lever arm has a transmission element, which is formed in an upper position of the lever arm obliquely to the plane of the sliding element, wherein the sliding element on the slope of the transmission element is movable and the transmission element is arranged on the lever arm, that during a movement of the sliding element of the Lever arm presses on the valve spring.
  • the sliding element at the end faces in each case at least one locking element for locking the sliding element in the first switching position and in the second switching position.
  • the sliding element is designed as an elastic double clasp with two locking elements on the end faces, wherein a moving together of the two locking elements of an end side causes a movement apart of the locking elements of the other end side.
  • this elastic double clasp with a cover with two frontal openings which surrounds the sliding element, protrude both in the first switching position and in the second switching position, the respective end-side locking elements through the respective opening of the cover.
  • the locking in the respective desired switching position is inherently automatic due to the spring action of the double clasp.
  • a locking of the sliding element can be effected in a simple manner both in the first and in the second switching position.
  • the locking elements each have a grip area. With the help of the grip areas, the sliding element can be released from the lock and moved manually in a simple manner.
  • At least one locking element is designed as a visual indicator for detecting a setting of the operating modes "normal pressure” and "overpressure".
  • the at least one locking element is preferably arranged on the mask body such that the position of the locking element can be recognized by the mask wearer by the mask wearer. From the mask wearer thus the respective set operating mode of the respirator is easily recognizable.
  • a signal generator for detecting the first and the second switching position of the sliding element.
  • a detection element may be provided, which is preferably as an induction proximity switch, a reed switch or as a Hall sensor is executed.
  • the detection element is preferably arranged in a mask body.
  • the operating modes "normal pressure” and “overpressure” are visually displayable in the mask sight.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic section of the respirator according to the invention with a mask body 10 and a mask sight 12th shown.
  • a breathing port 14 is provided on the mask body 10.
  • the breathing port 14 has in the illustrated structural design on its front side an opening 15 for connection of a regulator in the operating mode "overpressure".
  • connection of a filter takes place at a laterally mounted in the mask body second port.
  • a sliding member 22 (shown in FIG Fig. 3 ) is surrounded by a cover 38.
  • the sliding element 22 can change over a translational movement between a first switching position 24 and a second switching position 26.
  • An arrow 48 shows the direction of movement between the first switching position 24 and the second switching position 26.
  • the sliding element 22 acts in the translational movement on an adjusting element 18.
  • the adjusting element 18 is in Fig. 2 represented and formed as a pivotable lever arm 28.
  • a transmission element 30 is formed, which is in an upper position of the lever arm 28 obliquely to the plane of the sliding element 22.
  • the sliding element 22 acts on a movement between the two switching positions 24 and 26 on the slope of the transmission element 30.
  • the transmission element 30 is arranged on the lever arm 28 that during the movement of the sliding element 22 of the lever arm 28 presses on a valve spring 20.
  • the valve spring 20 In the in Fig. 1 In the first switching position 24, the valve spring 20 is in a relieved state and thereby generates only a minimum bias on the exhalation valve 16.
  • the first switching position 24 corresponds to the operating mode "normal pressure".
  • Fig. 3 schematically shows a structure of the sliding element 22.
  • the sliding element 22 is formed as an elastic double clasp 34.
  • the elastic double clasp 34 consists of two lateral webs, which are interconnected via a connecting web 36.
  • the connecting web 36 is elastic.
  • the locking elements 32 are arranged. A moving together of the two locking elements 32 on one end face causes a disengagement of the two locking elements 32 of the other end face.
  • the sliding element 22 is movably guided within the cover 38.
  • the cover 38 in each case has two end openings 40.
  • the front-side locking elements 32 protrude through the openings 40 of the cover 38 and fix the sliding element 22 in the first switching position 24th
  • the locking elements 32 also have a grip area 42. With the handle portion 42, the sliding element 22 by a movement of the locking elements 32 in the first switching position 24 to each other from the lock releasably and in the direction of the second switching position 26 manually displaceable. The sliding element 22 can be moved under the cover 38 in the second switching position 26. In the second switching position 26, the locking elements 32 protrude through the openings 40 of the cover 38 and thus fix the sliding element 22 in the second switching position 26 (shown in FIG Fig. 4 ).
  • the sliding element 22 is moved over the slope of the transmission element 30, wherein the transmission element is fixedly coupled to the lever arm 28 and this presses on the valve spring 20.
  • the opening pressure of the exhalation valve 16 is increased.
  • the bias of the valve spring 20 and thus the opening pressure of the exhalation valve 16 can be influenced.
  • Fig. 4 shows the sliding element 22 in the second switching position 26.
  • the valve spring 20 In the switching position 26, the valve spring 20, the maximum bias on. Of the Lever arm 28 is located near the exhalation valve 16 (shown in FIG Fig. 5 ).
  • This second switching position 26 corresponds to the operating mode "overpressure".
  • the end-side locking element 32 are designed so that they are visible through the mask sight 12 of the mask wearer.
  • the locking elements 32 thus have a double function.
  • the mask wearer can advantageously recognize the setting of the respirator mask according to the invention in the "normal pressure” mode and the "overpressure” mode in a simple manner.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 an embodiment with a provided on the sliding element 22 signal generator 46. Furthermore, a detection element 50 is provided, which is preferably arranged in the mask body 10.
