Устройство для зарядки регенеративных патронов

Номер: RU0000192740U1

Полезная модель служит для набивки патронов регенеративного респиратора поглотителем, в том числе поглотителем химическим известковым (ХП-И), и может применяться в аварийно - спасательных подразделениях военной, морской, горной, химической, нефтяной, металлургической и других отраслях с вредными производствами, в которых применяются респираторы изолирующие. Технический результат - обеспечение практического обеспылевания рабочего пространства вокруг устройства при одновременном повышении качества поглотителя и, тем самым, качества газо-воздушной смеси, вдыхаемой человеком. Для этого устройство для зарядки регенеративных патронов содержит герметично закрывающийся бункер для сыпучего материала, расположенные под ним сепаратор материала и зарядную емкость для связи ее с патроном, виброплиту для регенеративных патронов и систему пылеотсоса со сборником пыли. Система пылеотсоса выполнена с возможностью отсоса пыли от сепаратора и из патрона в сборник пыли, который снабжен фильтром, механизм обеспечения вибрации виброплиты связан с сепаратором и выполнен с возможностью регулировки амплитуды вибрации. 1 ил.
