Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical warning device with optical and acoustic alarm devices for displaying the state of exhaustion of a harmful gas from the air removing or restraining or converting into less harmful substances in connection with a breathing connection.
- a depletion indicator for a spatial filter which consists of two filter parts which are connected to one another in terms of flow by a tube, from which the depletion indicator, which works according to an electrolytic measuring principle, is arranged laterally via a tube arrangement (FR-A-843 542) .
- a depletion indicator is known in which at least two electrodes are arranged in the filter material at a certain distance from one another (DE-A-25 29 058).
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a warning device for indicating the state of exhaustion of a gas filter which retains harmful gases and which ensures reliable indication of exhaustion with optimal utilization of the service life of the gas filter.

- Carbon monoxide retaining gas filter is as follows: The gas filter 10 is ventilated in one direction, ie the inhaled air I flows through the gas filter and through the warning device 1 into the full face mask 12 of the user.
- the exhaled air II then passes the warning device 1 to behind the heat exchanger 8 and flows out via the exhalation valve 9. From this it is clear that the warning device 1 is ventilated in pendulum breathing.
- the heat exchanger 8 is cooled by the exhaled air II, so that the hot inhaled air I is cooled from the gas filter 10 when inhaled again, and advantageously to below 40 C, for example, in order to ensure proper functioning of the electrochemical measuring cell 3 when the inhaled air is above a bypass, not shown in the drawing by diffusion through a Teflon membrane reaches the inside of the measuring cell 3.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Warneinrichtung mit optischen und akustischen Alarmgebern zur Anzeige des Erschöpfungszustandes eines Schadgase aus der Luft entfernenden bzw. zurückhaltenden oder in Weniger schädliche Stoffe umwandelnden Gasfilters in Verbindung mit einem Atemanschluß. Es ist eine Erschöpfungsanzeige für einen Raumfilter bekannt, der aus zwei Filterteilen besteht, die untereinander strömungsmäßig durch ein Rohr verbunden sind, von dem seitlich abgehend über eine Rohranordnung die Erschöpfungsanzeige angeordnet ist, die nach einem elektrolytischen Meßprinzip arbeitet (FR-A-843 542).
Weiterhin ist eine Erschöpfungsanzeige bekannt, bei der in das Filtermate - rial mindestens zwei Elektroden in einem bestimmten Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind (DE-A-25 29 058).
Hierbei ist zunächst die Ausbildung einer elektrisch leitenden Verbindung zwischen den Elektroden nicht möglich und es wird erst bei ansteigender Erschöpfung des Filtermaterials zwischen den Elektroden eine stromleitende Verbindung hergestellt. Eine Anzeigeeinrichtung mit optischen und akustischen Alarmgebern zeigt dann den Stromdurchgang in Abhängigkeit von dem Erschöpfungszustand des Filtermaterials an. Nachteilig ist, daß es sich hierbei einerseits um ein im Wirkungsgrad ziemlich ungenaues Meßprinzip handelt und andererseits durch die Anordnung der das Warnsystem darstellenden Elektroden inmitten des Filtermaterials des Gasfilters, dadurch eine vorzeitige Erschöpfung angezeigt werden kann, obwohl das Filtermaterial noch Schadgase aufnehmen könnte.The invention relates to an electrical warning device with optical and acoustic alarm devices for displaying the state of exhaustion of a harmful gas from the air removing or restraining or converting into less harmful substances in connection with a breathing connection. A depletion indicator for a spatial filter is known, which consists of two filter parts which are connected to one another in terms of flow by a tube, from which the depletion indicator, which works according to an electrolytic measuring principle, is arranged laterally via a tube arrangement (FR-A-843 542) .
Furthermore, a depletion indicator is known in which at least two electrodes are arranged in the filter material at a certain distance from one another (DE-A-25 29 058).
In this case, the formation of an electrically conductive connection between the electrodes is initially not possible, and an electrically conductive connection is only established between the electrodes when the filter material becomes exhausted. A display device with optical and acoustic alarm devices then shows the current passage as a function of the state of exhaustion of the filter material. The disadvantage is that this is on the one hand a rather imprecise measuring principle in terms of efficiency and on the other hand, due to the arrangement of the electrodes representing the warning system in the middle of the filter material of the gas filter, premature exhaustion can be indicated, although the filter material could still absorb harmful gases.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Warneinrichtung zur Anzeige des Erschöpfungszustandes eines Schadgase zurückhaltenden Gasfilters zu schaffen die eine sichere Erschöpfungsanzeige bei optimaler Ausnutzung der Gebrauchsdauer des Gasfilters gewährleistet.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a warning device for indicating the state of exhaustion of a gas filter which retains harmful gases and which ensures reliable indication of exhaustion with optimal utilization of the service life of the gas filter.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of
Die mit der Erfindung erzielten vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß einerseits die Haltezeit des Gasfilters gegenüber der bisher üblichen erheblich erhöht werden kann und andererseits eine sichere Erschöpfungsanzeige gegeben ist.The advantages achieved with the invention consist in particular in that, on the one hand, the holding time of the gas filter can be increased considerably compared to that previously used and, on the other hand, there is a reliable indication of exhaustion.

Aus den Figuren 3 bis 5 ist ersichtlich, wie die Warneinrichtung 1 in einem Filtergerät eingebaut werden kann.
So ist in Fig. 3 das patronenartige Gehäuse 2 der Warneinrichtung 1 einerseits mit dem Anschlußstutzen 2a an dem zum Gasfilter 10 führenden Atemschlauch 11 angeschlossen und andererseits mit dem Anschlußstutzen 2b direkt an die Vollmaske 12. Das Gasfilter 10 kann z. B. auch eine Filterbüchse sein. Die Funktionsweise der derart in ein Filtergerät eingebauten Warneinrichtung, und zwar bei einem z. B. Kohlenmonoxid zurückhaltenden Gasfilter, ist folgende:
Das Gasfilter 10 wird in einer Richtung beatmet, d. h. die Einatemluft I strömt durch das Gasfilter und durch die Warneinrichtung 1 in die Vollmaske 12 des Benutzers. Die Ausatemluft II passiert dann die Warneinrichtung 1 bis hinter den Wärmeaustauscher 8 und strömt über das Ausatemventil 9 ab. Hieraus wird deutlich, daß die Warneinrichtung 1 in Pendelatmung beatmet wird. Der Wärmeaustauscher 8 wird durch die Ausatemluft II gekühlt, so daß beim erneuten Einatmen die heiße Einatemluft I aus dem Gasfilter 10 abgekühlt wird, und zwar vorteilhaft auf beispielsweise unter 40 C, um eine einwandfreie Funktion der elektrochemischen Meßzelle 3 zu gewährleisten, wenn die Einatemluft über einen in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Bypaß durch Diffusion durch eine Teflonmembran in das Innere der Meßzelle 3 gelangt.
Die Meßzelle arbeitet nach dem Prinzip der elektrochemischen Oxidation und dient als Meßelement zum Nachweis schädlicher Schadgaskonzentrationen in der Einatemluft, die von dem vorgeschalteten Gasfilter 10 im Falle des Erschöpfungszustandes nicht mehr zurückgehalten bzw. entfernt werden können. Mit anderen Worten: die Meßzelle 3 mißt eine bestimmte schädliche Schadstoffkonzentration, die anzeigt, daß der im Gasfilter zurückgehaltene Schadstoff durchbricht, was bedeutet, daß das Gasfilter 10 erschöpft ist.From Figures 3 to 5 it can be seen how the

In Fig. 4 ist die Warneinrichtung 1 mit dem Anschlußstutzen 2a direkt an den als Filterbüchse ausgebildeten Gasfilter 10 und mit dem Anschlußstutzen 2b an den Atemschlauch 11 mit der Vollmaske 12 angeschlossen.In Fig. 4, the

Fig. 6 zeigt die elektronische Schaltungsanordnung der Warneinrichtung 1 als Blockschaltbild, bestehend aus der elektrochemischen Meßzelle 3 der ein Signalverstärker 13 und diesem ein Schwellwertschalter 14 sowie die Leuchtdiode 6 und der akustische Signalgeber 7 nachgeschaltet ist. Zur Energieversorgung der Schaltungsanordnung ist eine Batterie 15 mit einer Batterieüberwachung 16 vorgesehen, die den Verbrauch der Batterie an der Leuchtdiode 6 und dem Signalgeber 7 optisch und akustisch anzeigt.
Die Schaltschwelle des Schwellwertschalters 14 ist auf das den alarmauslösenden Meßwert entsprechende Meßsignal eingestellt, das einer bestimmten Schadgas-Konzentration entspricht, die das Ende der Gebrauchszeit des Gasfilters 10 anzeigt. Überschreitet beispielsweise das von der Meßzelle 3 kommende Meßsignal die eingestellte Schaltschwelle (Alarmschwelle) des Schwellwertschalters 16, so wird dessen Ausgang leitend und die Leuchtdiode 6 sowie der Signalgeber 7 werden aktiviert und lösen den optischen und akustischen Alarm aus. Das Gasfilter 10 ist dann verbraucht.Fig. 6 shows the electronic circuit arrangement of the
