  Disclosed herein is one embodiment of a safety system for breathable air supply and generally relates to the technical field of safety systems.

  Buildings include shopping malls, warehouses and manufacturing facilities, large box stores such as IKEA and Home Depot, vertical structures such as high-rise buildings, medium-rise buildings, low-rise buildings, mines, subways, tunnels, and / or wine storage It may be possible to include horizontal structures.

  For example, the tunnel may be substantially horizontal and the tunnel path length to path width ratio may be at least 2 to 1. Furthermore, the tunnel is completely enclosed on all sides, and the entrance may not exist to save the length of the covered area, which restricts access to the tunnel.

  It may be important to provide and maintain adequate safety by the building. For example, the lack of ability to support underground mine roofs for several years has caused fatalities in US underground mines. For example, if a huge rock falls from the roof of a mine, it can lead to death.

  To alleviate emergencies, emergency personnel (eg firefighters, special forces such as SWAT, law enforcers, and / or medical workers) may be active in the building. Emergency situations may include events such as fires, chemical attacks, terrorist attacks, subway accidents, mine collapses, and biological factor attacks.

In such situations, breathable air in the building may be severely affected (eg, depletion, moisture absorption and / or contamination). In addition, the fresh air flow may be hindered significantly by the shielding area of the building, lack of windows, and concentration of contaminants. As a result, inhalation of air into the building is very harmful and may result in death (possibly within minutes).
Moreover, often emergency work may need to be performed in a building.

  Emergency personnel's ability to reduce urgency in an efficient manner may be limited by lack of breathable air and / or by leaving contaminated air. The survival rate of civilians trapped in the building may be lower due to the propagation of contaminated air inside the building. This puts many innocent lives at high risk.

  Emergency personnel may use a portable breathing device (eg, a self-breathing device) as a method of obtaining breathable air in an emergency mission. However, portable breathing devices may be heavy (eg, 20-30 pounds). And / or may be able to supply breathable air only for a short time (eg, about 15-30 minutes). During emergency situations, emergency personnel may need to walk or climb through buildings for rescue (eg, blocked walkways, Elevators, moving walkways, escalators).

  By the time the emergency personnel arrive at their destination, the portable breathing device will be used up and may need to be replenished (eg, return flights, ie, return for a new portable breathing device). As a result, limited time may be spent and precious lives may be lost. If spare portable breathing devices are installed at many locations in the building, emergency personnel can replace those portable breathing devices as needed. However, installing many portable breathing devices may be costly and take up space, which is a major obstacle to rescue operations by emergency personnel.

  In addition, managers, supervisors, employees, etc. may not regularly check portable breathing devices. Over time, the pressure on the portable breathing apparatus will drop, which may be a major risk for emergency personnel when using a spare breathing apparatus in an emergency. Portable breathing devices may be tampered with during installation. It may lead to harmful substances entering emergency respirators for emergency personnel.

  A safety system for breathable air supply with an air storage subsystem and a method of securing are disclosed. For one thing, a building building safety system is a supply unit that facilitates the supply of breathable air from a source of compressed air to the building air supply mechanism, a valve that prevents leakage of breathable air from the air supply system.

Further, the safety system may include an air delivery source of an air storage subsystem for maintaining a higher pressure in the air supply system and moving the pressure booster piston with compressed air.

  The safety system may include at least one indicator unit of the air storage subsystem. The indicator unit provides supply system status information including storage pressure, booster pressure, compressed air source pressure, and / or supply mechanism pressure value. The safety system may further include an exterior covering the supply unit. The exterior may have an all-weather function, a protection function against ultraviolet and / or infrared solar radiation. The sheath can also prevent corrosion and / or physical damage.

  The safety system may also include a locking device on the exterior of the supply unit. The locking device ensures the safety and reliability of the air supply system from possible safety losses. The safety system may further include a strong metallic material in the exterior of the supply unit to minimize various dangerous and physical damages and / or to protect the supply unit from damage (e.g., at least 18 gauge carbon steel). Further, the safety system may include a valve that automatically interrupts the supply of breathable air from the source of compressed air to the air supply mechanism as needed.

  The safety system may further include a relief valve on either the supply unit or the refill station. When the pressure of the air supply mechanism exceeds the designed pressure resistance, the relief valve releases breathable air. It also ensures the reliability of the air supply system by maintaining the system pressure within the pressure rating of each component of the air supply system.

  The safety system may also include a CGA connector and a RIC / UAC connector of the supply unit. These connectors ensure compatibility with the compressed air source.

The separation valve may be automatically activated by an air pressure sensor of the air supply mechanism.

  In addition, the safety system may include at least one pressure regulator at each refill station. This pressure regulator regulates the pressure filling the breathing device and ensures that the filling pressure does not exceed the pressure rating of the breathing device. The safety system also includes at least one pressure gauge at the refill station to indicate the refill station fill pressure and the air supply mechanism pressure. Further, the safety system may include fire resistant materials and / or fire resistant exterior assemblies. Thereby, the air supply system can have the ability to withstand a specified temperature rise in time.

In addition, the safety system may include a sturdy case in the air supply structure to prevent physical damage to the air supply system that may compromise the safety and integrity of the air supply structure.

  In addition, the safety system includes a separate cylindrical cover that is at least three times the outer diameter of the air supply structure pipe outside the rugged case to further protect the rugged case from any damage. Can be considered. Both ends of another cylindrical cover are mounted with materials certified by a legitimate institution. The safety system may also include a number of support structures, spaced within 5 feet to provide a suitable structural support for each pipe of the air supply structure. The air supply structure may include stainless steel or thermoplastic materials that are compatible with the use of compressed air.

  The safety system may further include an air monitoring system. The air monitoring system tracks and automatically records impurities and contaminants in the breathable air of the air supply mechanism. The air monitoring system interrupts the supply of air to the replenishment station with an automatic closure function when the concentration of impurities and pollutants exceeds the safety standard value.

  The safety system may also include a pressure monitoring system that automatically tracks and records the pressure of the air supply mechanism. In addition, the safety system may include a pressure switch that is electrically coupled to the building fire alarm system. Thereby, when the pressure of the air supply mechanism exceeds the safety range, the fire alarm system is turned on. When the pressure of the air supply mechanism exceeds the safety range, the pressure switch sends an alarm to the emergency control station by an electric signal.

  The refill station may have a capacity corresponding to at least one breathing device. A replenishment station could include a RIC / UAC connector that completes the filling process of the breathing apparatus faster. The safety system further includes a tamper switch for the locking device on the exterior of the supply unit, so that if there is an intruder from outside the safety system, an alarm is automatically generated and the building supervisor Send a signal to the emergency station. The safety chamber may be certified for resistance to rupture based on approved standards. The safety system may also include a switching valve that is accessible to emergency personnel to switch the source of compressed air to deliver breathable air to the refueling station.

  The air storage subsystem may be surrounded by a refractory sheath that can withstand a specified temperature rise in time. The safety system may further include a mechanism for securing the safety chamber of the refill station. The safety system may further include a safety device that automatically activates the safety chamber locking mechanism in conjunction with a flow switch that indicates the flow of air to the respirable device that can be filled at the refill station.

Storing breathable air that can be replenished with a source of compressed air by allowing the breathable air to be stored is included.

  In addition, the method may include preventing weather corrosion and physical damage by incorporating an all-weather supply unit exterior. Moreover, by attaching a locking device to the exterior of the supply unit, it may prevent the supply unit from entering from the outside and prevent the reliability of the respiratory emergency system from being lowered. Another possible method is to use a rigid metal for the exterior of the supply unit to minimize physical damage due to various external hazards.

  A possible method is to prevent the outflow of air from the emergency support system by using a valve at either the supply unit or the replenishment site. The method may include shutting off the supply of breathable air from the compressed air source to the emergency support system using a valve. Furthermore, it is conceivable to automatically release the air from the emergency support system when the system pressure exceeds a specified value through the supply unit and / or the replenishment site opening valve. The method also includes ensuring compatibility between the emergency support system and the authoritative engine's compressed air source with a CGA connector and / or a RIC / UAC connector.

  Further, a method including adjustment to prevent the filling pressure of the compressed air source from exceeding the specified pressure of the emergency support system is also conceivable. The system pressure of the emergency support system and the pressure of the compressed air may be monitored by the pressure gauge on the exterior of the supply unit. In addition, the visible display improves workability of the supply unit exterior in a dim environment. Further, the use of a supply site shutoff valve may isolate the supply site from the rest of the emergency support system. Thereby, the rest of the emergency support system can be used during an emergency.

  The method may also automatically activate a shutoff valve based on the emergency support system air pressure sensor. In addition, the method may have a mechanism for adjusting the filling pressure at the replenishment site so that the pressure at the respirator does not exceed a specified value by the pressure regulator at the replenishment site. It may further include a mechanism to monitor the system pressure of the emergency support system by using any of the refill site fill pressures and a pressure gauge to the refill site.
