Description

The proposed solution relates to diving equipment and can be used to breathe a diver under water.

Similar technical solutions are known, see, US patent No. 1331819, which describes a diving breathing apparatus containing the following set of essential features:

- a reservoir that stores low-pressure air and is located on the boat and contains inlet and outlet openings;

- an air compressor driven by an internal combustion engine, mounted on a watercraft and connected with its outlet to the inlet of the tank;

- two flexible tubes connected through valves with their inlets to the outlet of the tank and the air compressor;

- a propeller connected by its shaft to the shaft of the internal combustion engine through a movable joint;

- a rope attached with a special device to the movable shaft of the propeller, and its other end to the diver;

- a diving helmet connected by its inlet to the outlet of two flexible tubes.

Common features of the proposed solution and this analogue are:

- air compressor;

- storage tank;

- flexible tube.

The technical result that cannot be achieved by this analogue is to ensure the maximum possible freedom of movement of the diver under water.

The reason for the impossibility of obtaining the indicated technical result is that the air compressor with the internal combustion engine is mounted on the watercraft and to move the watercraft behind the diver, it is necessary to independently rotate the propeller shaft using a rope to the required angle and wait for the watercraft to approach, which takes a lot of time, which limits the freedom of movement of the diver under water.

Also known diving breathing apparatus, see, US patent No. 5193530, which is selected as a prototype and contains the following set of essential features:

- a floating inflatable chamber located on the surface of the water, containing an inlet and outlet;

- an inflatable tank that stores low pressure air containing an inlet and outlet;

- an electric compressor located on the boat or the shore of the reservoir, and connected with its outlet to the inlet of the inflatable tank;

- a rechargeable battery located on a boat or the shore of a reservoir and connected through a switch with its supply leads to the powered terminals of an electrically driven compressor;

- the first flexible tube connected by its inlet to the outlet of the inflatable reservoir, and the outlet to the inlet of the floating inflatable chamber;

- a second flexible tube connected by its inlet to the outlet of the floating inflatable chamber;

a breathing mechanism held by the diver’s mouth, comprising a chamber with inlet and outlet, a mouthpiece hole, a mouthpiece, a valve, an inlet and an outlet valve, the inlet of the breathing mechanism being connected to an outlet of the second flexible tube.

Common features of the proposed solution and this analogue are:

- electric compressor;

- a rechargeable battery connected via a switch with its power leads to the power leads of an electric compressor;

- floating inflatable chamber;

- storage tank;

- flexible tube;

- a respiratory mechanism held by the diver's mouth, comprising a chamber with inlet and outlet openings, a mouthpiece hole, a mouthpiece and an exhaust valve.

The technical result that cannot be achieved by this analogue is to provide the maximum possible freedom of movement of the diver under water.

The reason for the impossibility of obtaining the specified technical result is that the electric compressor and the battery are located on the shore or boat, which limits the freedom of movement of the diver under water.

Given the characteristics and analysis of known similar technical solutions, we can conclude that the task of creating devices with the maximum possible freedom of movement of a diver under water is relevant today.

The technical result indicated above is achieved by the fact that in a diving breathing apparatus containing a floating inflatable chamber, an electric air compressor having a surface inlet, at least one battery connected via a switch with its power leads to the powered terminals of the electric compressor, a reservoir containing inlet and outlet and connected by its inlet to the outlet of the electrically driven compressor, a flexible tube connected with its inlet to the outlet of the tank, the breathing mechanism held by the diver’s mouth, containing a chamber with an inlet, a mouthpiece, a mouthpiece, at least one outlet valve and an outlet, the inlet of the breathing mechanism is connected to the outlet of the flexible tube: switch, an electric compressor and at least one battery are located on a floating inflatable chamber.

In addition, the diving breathing apparatus is equipped with a common housing for an electric compressor and at least one battery.

The location of the switch, the electric compressor and at least one battery on the floating inflatable chamber allows you to get the maximum freedom of movement of the diver. In this, the achievement of the technical result indicated above is manifested.

The proposed diving breathing apparatus is illustrated by the following description and drawing.

The proposed diving breathing apparatus contains:

- floating rubber ring - 1, located on the surface of the water - 2.

- a housing consisting of a base - 3, made in the form of a sheet of plastic or metal and a lid - 4, made in the form of an inverted container;

- electric compressor - 5, mounted on the base - 3 and having a surface inlet;

- tank - 6, mounted on the base - 3 and containing an inlet and outlet, connected by its inlet to the outlet of the compressor with electric drive - 5. The volume of the tank - 6 is at least 1 liter;

- at least one rechargeable battery - 7, mounted on the base - 3 and connected via a switch - 8 with its supply leads to the powered terminals of the compressor with electric drive - 5. In this case, the switch - 8 is mounted on the cover - 4;

- a flexible tube - 9, connected to its inlet by means of a fitting - 10 with a thread to the outlet of the reservoir - 6. The length of the flexible tube - 9 is 1.5-5 m;

- check valve - 11, connected by its inlet to the outlet of the flexible tube - 9;

- belt - 12, connected to the check valve body - 11, holds it on the diver's body;

- the respiratory mechanism held by the diver's mouth contains:

- camera - 13, having an inlet, a mouthpiece hole and at least one outlet;

- mouthpiece - 14;

- at least one exhaust valve - 15.

The inlet of the chamber - 13 of the respiratory mechanism is connected to the outlet of the non-return valve - 11 using a flexible tube - 16.

As a compressor with an electric drive - 5, a Fiak A 130/2 diaphragm compressor can be used, Pnom = 65 W, Qmak = 45 l / min, Unom = 12 V, information is published on the website www.fiaccompressors.ru

As a switch - 8, a package switch PV1-16, Inom = 16 A, version 1 can be used, the information is published on the website www.paketnik.ru

As a battery - 7, a sealed GP12120 rechargeable battery was used, Un = 12 V, Sleep = 12 Ah, published in the book by A. A. Taganov, A. Semenov. "Lead batteries: stationary, traction, for portable equipment": Reference. - SPb .: HIMIZDAT, 2004, p. 59

As a floating rubber ring, a rubber inflatable chamber from the wheels of a car can be used.

The proposed diving breathing apparatus operates as follows: when the switch is turned on - 8, the electric drive of the compressor with electric drive - 5, receives power from at least one battery - 7, atmospheric air

from the surface of the water - 2 is fed by a compressor with an electric drive - 5 into the inlet of the tank - 6. In the tank - 6 there is a smoothing of the pulsation of air pressure. From the outlet of the container - 6, the air enters through the flexible tube - 9 into the non-return valve - 11. Under overpressure, the non-return valve - 11 opens and the air enters through the flexible tube - 16 into the chamber - 13 of the respiratory mechanism of the diver held by the mouth. At the moment of the diver’s inspiration, air from the chamber - 13 enters through the mouthpiece of the mouthpiece - 14 into the diver’s lungs, while the exhaust valve - 15 is closed and blocks the flow of water into the internal cavity of the chamber - 13 of the respiratory mechanism. At the moment the diver exhales, an excess pressure is created in the chamber cavity - 13 of the respiratory mechanism, at least one exhaust valve - 15 opens at least one outlet of the chamber - 13, letting the diver exhale into the water, while the excess air supplied by the electric compressor is 5, bleed through at least one exhaust valve - 15. Then the cycle repeats.

The non-return valve - 11 is necessary to prevent the formation of reduced air pressure in the chamber - 13 of the breathing mechanism held by the diver’s mouth and to get water there if an air leak occurs (disconnecting the flexible tube - 9 from the outlet of the tank - 6).

When a diver moves underwater, an electric compressor — 5, at least one rechargeable battery — 7, a switch — 8, a reservoir — 6, a base — 3, and a cover — 4 bodies located on a floating rubber ring — 1 — move along the surface of the water — 2 following the diver.

Thus, the proposed device provides the maximum possible freedom of movement of the diver under water.
