Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a respiratory protection system, and more particularly to a blower filter system or battery powered blower filter system that includes an electrically powered blower unit and a battery pack coupled thereto.
- the invention relates to a battery powered blower filter system for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
- filters which are provided separately from the mask and connected to the mask via a breathing tube. These separate filters can be worn, for example, on the belt of the user.
- the filters used differ in terms of their range of use, but in principle have the same by adsorption on sorbent (eg impregnated activated carbon) or to remove particles and aerosols, for example by a microfiber filter.
- a disadvantage of these systems is that the filter increases the respiratory resistance and thus the respiratory effort of the user, thereby adversely affecting the user's performance.
- blower-assisted respirator systems also referred to as blower-assisted respirator systems or blower filter systems (PAPR) and with the help of which the user's work of breathing is significantly reduced.
- These systems essentially comprise a respirator (or face mask or hood) which is provided with a breath closure (usually a threaded connection) for connecting a breathing tube, and a blower unit comprising a blower device, a power supply unit and a filter insert for coupling a suitable one Contains filters.
- the blower unit (or blower filter device) is preferably worn on the belt of the user. In such a system, contaminated air from the environment is drawn in by means of the blower unit, filtered by means of the coupled filter, whereby the contaminated air is freed of harmful substances, and blown through the breathing tube into the face mask.
- blower filter systems described above are generally used for light and medium respiratory protection.
- the advantage of these blower filter systems is that they help the user to breathe, reducing respiratory resistance compared to conventional respirator masks, thus enabling a long and fatigue-free application.
- these fan filter systems have some disadvantages.
- the user must wear not only the respirator but also the attached to the belt fan filter unit (fan unit).
- the overall system is relatively heavy and possibly unwieldy, which may affect the freedom of movement of the wearer.
- This disadvantage comes into play, in particular, when the system is designed for long operating times, which is why the belt filter device attached to the belt has to be equipped with a large number of secondary cells and therefore becomes large, heavy and unwieldy.
- the blower filter device contains, inter alia, a fan wheel driven by an electric motor and a fan housing adapted to the fan wheel (eg a spiral housing).
- the energy for this blower unit ie for the electric motor and the associated central control unit
- a power supply unit which preferably has rechargeable batteries (secondary cells).
- the central control unit By means of the central control unit, the motor of the blower unit is controlled.
- the control unit is further configured to process, for example, inputs of the user. These inputs include, for example, turning on and off the blower unit or adjusting the power of the blower unit.
- the control unit may be configured to adapt the performance of the engine (or blower unit) to the needs of the user.
- the blower unit, the control unit and the power supply unit are usually enclosed by a housing.
- At least one filter can be connected to this housing.
- the filter can also be arranged inside the housing.
- the breathing tube can be connected with one end to this housing, wherein the other end of the breathing tube is coupled to the respirator. In operation, air is sucked by the blower through the filter into the housing of the blower unit and then through to the blower unit connected breathing tube to the face mask.
- the face mask is equipped with an exhalation valve to exhale the breath.
- blower filter systems are used under very different ambient conditions. These may include environmental conditions where the surrounding atmosphere contains potentially explosive gases or dusts.
- special demands are placed on the components of the fan filter systems used.
- spark ignition must be prevented, which can be triggered by an energy released in the event of a fault
- self-ignition caused by overheating of components must be precluded the blower filter system can be triggered.
- Blower filter units or blower filter systems for use in potentially explosive areas are already known.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a fan filter system and in particular a battery-powered blower filter system, which is specially set up for use in potentially explosive environments. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a blower filter system with the help of which the aforementioned disadvantages of known respiratory protection systems are overcome. To solve these and other objects is a blower filter system with the features of claim 1.
- advantageous and preferred developments of the fan filter according to the invention are given.
- the blower filter system of the present invention is generally described in this specification as a blower unit-equipped respiratory protective system that is particularly suitable for use in potentially explosive environments.
- the inventive idea underlying the fan filter system can also be used in other respiratory protection or respiratory systems.
- a blower filter system is provided with a blower unit, the blower motor (electric motor) is powered by a power supply unit (battery pack), the accumulators or secondary cells with significantly higher energy density compared to the previously used nickel-metal hydride or nickel Contains cadmium cells.
- the service life of the fan filter system according to the invention can be significantly increased by more cells can be used than previously, without the weight and / or size of the fan filter system is increased.
- the size and / or weight of the fan filter system can be reduced.
- secondary cells with higher energy density are preferably lithium-ion cells (Li-ion batteries) or lithium-manganese cells (LiMn batteries) are used.
- NiMH cells nickel-metal hydride cells
- lithium ion cells have an energy density of 150-200 Wh / kg
- lithium manganese cells have an energy density of 200-270 Wh / kg.
- lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum-based cells LiNiCoAIO 2
- carbon stabilizer having an energy density of up to 270 Wh / kg. This means that the energy supply unit of the blower filter unit with less service life can be implemented as half the weight and with significantly reduced size.
- lithium-based cells unlike NiMH or NiCd cells, they have no "memory effect", with the result that the useful capacity of the lithium cells remains high even after a large number of Charging cycles not or only slightly reduced.
- the blower filter system according to the invention is preferably suitable for use in potentially explosive or explosive environments.
- the maximum occurring energy and / or maximum energy peaks must be limited, especially in case of failure (ie defect of one or more cells, defect of the control unit or defect of the Blower motor) can occur.
- the surface temperature of the secondary cells or the battery pack must be kept below an ignition temperature or limit temperature. To the surface temperature of the battery pack below a certain
- the cells are preferably poured into a material that has good heat-conducting properties.
- the other electronic components of the battery pack or the power supply unit are also cast in the potting material to prevent electrical sparks and arcs, and to dissipate elevated temperatures of these components. Consequently, the potting material must also have good electrical insulating properties.
- a possible short-circuit current of the battery pack is limited by an active redundant current limiting so that the energy released in the event of a fault is kept below a certain limit. In this way, the ignition of explosive gases or dusts contained in the surrounding atmosphere can be effectively prevented.
- Li-ion cells Due to their high energy density, Li-ion cells have a high potential for self-heating. As noted above, this problem can be alleviated by pouring the cells of the battery pack into a material having good heat-conducting properties.
- devices for dissipating excess heat are preferably provided, for example in the form of cooling plates and / or cooling fins. It is also possible that the excess heat is dissipated by means for heat transfer or heat dissipation to the housing of the blower unit. For this purpose, for example, banksleitbleche and / or thermally conductive pastes can be used.
- the blower unit and / or the housing of the blower unit may be configured to generate an airflow that can be used to cool the heat conducting sheets, the control unit, the motor and / or the accumulators (cells) or heat from these components derive.
- the protective circuits for monitoring individual cells or a group of cells are combined with the above overcurrent limiting in order to further increase safety.
- the protection circuits for monitoring individual cells or a group of cells are realized by thermal fuses, whereby cells at which an excessive temperature occurs are disconnected or electrically switched off.
- individual cells or groups of cells can be protected by respective series connections of a thermal fuse and an overcurrent fuse. This has the advantage that individual cells or groups of cells are completely separated from the power supply circuit or can be dissolved out if an excessive temperature and / or an excessive current occurs at the cell or cells in question.
- a combination of thermal fuses and overcurrent fuses thus causes an electrical isolation of the faulty cell (s) in case of a possible short circuit of individual cells, but the short circuit of one or more cells leaves the remaining cells undamaged.
- a main fuse for excessively high temperatures and / or excessively high currents may additionally or alternatively be provided, so that the entire battery pack is switched off in the event of a fault.
- the individual cells including their protective circuit, are installed in a housing and embedded in a suitable potting compound in such a way that sparking in circuit parts between, for example, individual cells and the associated overcurrent fuses is effectively prevented. Furthermore, a sparking between the battery pack and its protective circuit and other components of the blower unit is prevented by this potting compound.
- the potting compound preferably has good heat-conducting properties in order to be able to dissipate excess heat to the environment and / or to other components of the blower unit. Thus, potting provides for the amount of heat released in the event of a fault to be distributed to a greater heat capacity, whereby the surface temperature can be safely kept below the auto-ignition temperature of the surrounding flammable gases and dusts.
- Figures 1a and 1b show two embodiments of a 1 Inventions proper fan filter system that is worn on the body of the user;
- Figure 2 shows a first embodiment of a circuit diagram of the blower filter system of the present invention.

- the fan filter system 5 is preferably carried by means of a special belt 6 on the back of the user in order to allow the user the greatest possible freedom of movement.
- the user wears a respirator 7 in the form of a face mask.
- the face mask has a viewing window and a port (not shown) for connecting a breathing tube 4.
- This breathing tube is connected to the fan filter system 5, which is also carried by means of a belt 6 on the back of the user.
- blower filter systems 5 shown in Figures 1a and 1b have a different shape, but contain substantially the same components to cause the contaminated air is sucked by means of a blower unit and passed through a filter, thereby freeing of harmful substances and then on the breathing tube 4 to the protective hood 1 and the Protective mask 7 passed.
- Both blower filter systems 5 include a fan driven by a motor, a volute and a downstream of the (suction) the fan provided filter, which is preferably releasably and interchangeably coupled to the housing of the blower filter system.
- the housing of the fan filter system encloses at least the motor, the fan and electrical circuits.
- the battery pack described above may also be included in the housing, but is preferably removably attached to the outside of the housing and electrically coupled to the blower unit.
- the battery pack is provided at the back of the fan unit.
- the coupling of the battery pack via conventional mechanisms.
- the electronic components of the blower unit and the battery pack are substantially completely enclosed by a potting compound, so that possible excessive current / voltage conditions within this electronics can not trigger ignition of the explosive environment.
- the potting compound thus effectively prevents spark ignition due to potential current / voltage conditions outside the ignition limit curves.
- the only accessible conductors are therefore found in the area of contact between the blower unit and the battery pack, which area remains critical to potential spark ignition. The solution to this problem will be explained in more detail below.
- the charger can also be connected to the battery pack without having to disconnect it from the fan unit.
- the blower unit usually has a maximum power consumption of about 12 W.
- the blower unit takes over the central functions of the system and includes in addition to the blower device (ie motor and fan) the necessary electronics for controlling and monitoring the system. It is generally preferred that the volume flow is kept constant by means of an integrated control.

- buttons or sliders are provided on the user interface, for example, to adjust the flow and to turn on and off the fan unit.
- blower unit may be provided with a Bluetooth interface or other suitable interface to communicate with other devices.
- the blower unit may include means for indicating alarms or warnings visually, acoustically, and / or tactually (e.g., by vibration).
- a piezo buzzer or a vibration motor can be provided for this purpose.
- the sensors, the controls (user interface), the blower motor and the battery pack must be designed to ensure explosion protection.
- the sensors are resistively current-limited, and the fan motor is preferably designed as an electrically commutated synchronous motor (Brushless DC motor), which is connected in delta connection and in which the inductance of the motor coils between two terminals of the motor circuit is preferably at most 700 ⁇ .
- Brushless DC motor electrically commutated synchronous motor
- Figure 2 shows the circuit diagram of the blower filter system of the present invention.
- the diagram of Figure 2 represents a first concept, which is characterized essentially by its mechanical robustness.
- redundant (ie double) contacts are provided for the energy transfer between the battery pack and the blower unit, whereby the interruption of the contacts is prevented when a contact fails. If an error occurs in one of the double contacts, which could possibly cause an arc, this arc is prevented by the second (intact) contact.
- the performance of the blower unit is limited to about 10 W. Furthermore, the surface temperatures of the blower unit and the battery pack must be below the glow ignition temperature. For this purpose, in the embodiment of Figure 2, the response time of the overcurrent shutdown can be made relatively slow (e.g., about 300 ms).
- the blower filter system comprises a battery pack 10 and a blower unit 11.
- the battery pack 10 has a plurality of cells 12 whose plus contacts are each connected to a protection circuit 14 via resistors 13.
- the voltages of the individual cells can be compared with each other to effect a so-called "cell balancing".
- the protection circuit 14 By measuring the cell voltages can be realized by means of the protection circuit 14 also in a known manner, protection against excessive discharge and over-discharge.
- six cells 12 are provided, which are realized as a parallel connection of two strings with three cells each. But there are also other configurations possible.
- thermal fuses 15 are provided to the negative contacts of the cells, which are thermally well coupled to the cells, and to the positive contacts of the cells 12 overcurrent fuses 16 are provided to an immediate shutdown or decoupling of the cells in the event of overheating or to cause excessive battery currents when it occurs.
- the fuses 15 and 16 are preferably redundant (ie for each strand in each case an overcurrent protection and a thermal fuse) executed and can also be connected in a different configuration with the strands.
- power switches 17 are provided, the gates of which can be switched by the protection circuit 14.
- a thermal fuse 18 is connected, which responds when a limit temperature of one of the switches 17 is exceeded.
- the switches 17 are arranged in series (as a charge and discharge FET) to ensure safe shutdown.
- the gates are switched by overcurrent shutters 21, and between which a thermal fuse 20 is provided.
- the circuit breakers 19 are also made double, so that the switches 19 are effective even in case of failure of one of the series-connected switch (eg by an internal short circuit, by which a shutdown is prevented).
- the thermal fuse 20 has the same function as the thermal fuse 18.
- a fuse can be used, which is irreversibly destroyed in the event of a fault and makes the battery pack useless.
- connection contacts 22, 23 between the battery pack 10 and the blower unit 11 are designed as double contacts for the reasons mentioned above.
- the mechanical connection between the battery pack and the blower unit is provided with a safety mechanism to prevent inadvertent mechanical release of the battery pack from the blower unit.
- the mechanical connection may include a seal 32, indicated at 32 in FIG. 2, which is disposed between the battery pack 10 and the blower unit 11 to isolate the contacts 22, 23 from the surrounding atmosphere.
- the mechanical connection between the battery pack 10 and blower unit 11 is preferably designed so that the seal 32 is compressed when locking the mechanical connection and thus pressed firmly between the two housings.
- two projections may be formed on one side of the housing of the battery pack, which engage in respective openings provided in the housing of the fan unit. Subsequently, the battery pack is locked, for example, by a pivoting movement, whereby at the same time the seal is pressed firmly against the housing of the battery pack and the blower unit.
- the blower unit 11 includes a blower motor 24 which is controlled by a power stage 25. Between the power stage 25 and the positive contact 22, a thermal fuse 26 is provided, which is thermally coupled well with the power stage 25 in order to prevent overheating of the same in the event of a fault.
- the power stage 25 is controlled by a control unit 27, which is connected via contacts 28, 29 to the protection circuit 14.
- the control unit 27 is also connected to a plurality of sensors (not shown), by means of which, for example, the speed of the motor 24 and / or the current consumption of the motor can be detected.
- the control unit 27 is connected to an operating unit 30, via which, for example, the motor 24 switched on and off and the speed of the motor can be varied.
- control unit may include a plurality of light-emitting diodes or other display means to display, for example, the status of the blower unit, the state of charge of the battery pack and the speed of the motor or the air flow rate.
- the current to the operating unit 30 is limited by one or more parallel resistances between the operating unit 30 and the control unit 27 so that in the event of a fault, no spark ignition is possible.
- the two independent (redundant) overcurrent shutters 21 evaluate the voltage drop across a shunt 31 and are connected to the gates of the power switches 19. As described above, in case of exceeding a maximum current flowing through the shunt, the power switches 19 (P-FET) are so driven to open the switches.
- each of the devices 21 can independently cause the blocking of the associated power switches 19. This redundancy ensures that even if one of the switches 19 fails, a safe shutdown of the battery pack is ensured.
- the devices 21 are designed to deliver a signal to the gates of the switches 19 after a response time of less than 300 ms. If the maximum output current of the battery pack for a minimum time ⁇ falls below, there is a slow automatic reclosing of the power switch 19. In case of failure, the power switch 19 can heat up strongly, which is why between the switches 19, the thermal fuse 20 is provided.
- active temperature monitoring may also be provided (eg an NTC, etc.).
- Similar temperature monitoring is also provided for the power switches 17 by providing a thermal fuse 18 between these switches.
- all the electronic components of the blower unit 11 including the motor 24 are encapsulated in a potting compound. Basically, there is little danger that explosive dusts or gases penetrate into the interior of the blower unit, since this interior is shielded by the filter. Nevertheless, the encapsulant essentially prevents ignition of explosive dusts or gases which have penetrated into the blower unit despite the filter.
- FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the circuit diagram of the blower filter system of the present invention.
- the diagram from FIG. 3 is very similar to the diagram from FIG. 2 and represents a second concept, which is essentially characterized by its rapid current flow. shutdown (compared to the embodiment of Figure 2) distinguished.
- the second concept only one contact 22 ', 23' (plus / minus) is provided for the energy transfer between the battery pack 10 'and the blower unit 1 1'.
- the response time of the current limit is designed to be relatively fast (eg, about 30 ps and preferably about 15 ps).
- the performance of the blower unit is limited to about 10 W. Further, the surface temperatures of the blower unit and the battery pack must be below the glow ignition temperature.
- the blower filter system comprises a battery pack 10 'and a blower unit 1 1'.
- the battery pack 10 ' has a plurality of cells 12', whose plus contacts are each connected via resistors 13 'to a protection circuit 14'.
- the voltages of the individual cells can be compared.
- protection against excessive discharge and over-discharge as already explained.
- At the minus contacts of the cells 12 'thermal fuses 15' are provided, which are thermally well coupled to the cells, and the positive contacts of the cells 12 'are overcurrent fuses 16' are provided to an immediate shutdown or decoupling of the cells in the In the event of overheating or excessive battery currents.
- the overcurrent fuses 16 'and the positive terminal of the battery pack power switches 17' are provided whose gates can be switched by the protection circuit 14 '. Between the switches 17 'is a thermal fuse 18' connected. In series with the circuit breakers 17 'are further power switches 19' are provided, the gates are switched by overcurrent shutters 21 ', and between which a Thermal fuse 20 'is provided.
- the thermal fuses are each thermally coupled to the circuit breakers to prevent overheating.
- Power level 25 ' is controlled. Between the power stage 25 'and the positive contact 22', a thermal fuse 26 'is provided which causes a shutdown at excess temperature of the power stage.
- the power stage 25 ' is controlled by a control unit 27', which is connected via contacts 28 ', 29' to the protection circuit 14 '.
- the control unit 27 ' is also connected to a plurality of sensors (not shown), by means of which, for example, the speed of the motor 24' and / or the current consumption of the motor can be detected.
- the control unit 27 ' is connected to a control unit 30', which has the same function as the control unit 27 of Figure 2.
- the two independent overcurrent cutoff devices 21 ' evaluate the voltage drop across a shunt 31', as described with reference to FIG.
- the overcurrent cutoff devices 21 ' have a very short response time, and the power switches 19' are fast switching switches, so that when the maximum output current of the battery pack is exceeded, the switches 19 'are switched off in less than about 30 ps.
- the power input into a potential spark may be limited
- a compensation circuit 33' is provided in the opening case (ie when removing the battery pack 10 'or in the failure of contacting the contacts 22', 23 ') a potential jump at the Side of the blower unit to prevent.
- the compensation circuit 33 ' consists of two parallel strands, the each having a capacitor and a series-connected parallel circuit comprising on the one hand a resistor and on the other hand a series circuit of two freewheeling diodes.
