Description

Mask equipment system equipped with monitoring equipment {Mask equipment system equipped with monitoring equipment}

The content posted is about a mask equipment system equipped with monitoring equipment.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the matters described in this identifier are not prior art to the claims of this application, and their description in this identifier is not an admission that they are prior art.

In general, when performing work that generates hazardous gases, foreign substances, dust, etc., such as painting, grinding, welding, and blasting, a supplied-air mask that artificially supplies air from outside is used to protect the health of workers or managers.

Conventional air-supplied masks used in work environments where large amounts of toxic gases are generated, such as chemical raw material factories, are connected to a central supply blower and an air hose, which limits the worker's range of movement. In particular, conventional air-supplied masks are inconvenient to repair or replace the valve, so contaminated valves are used for long periods of time, making them unsanitary and their filtration configuration insufficient for purification.

In the past, when a worker wears a supplied-air mask on his or her face and opens the valve provided in the air supply pipe, the air flowing in through the air supply pipe is supplied to the inside of the mask, allowing the worker to work smoothly.

However, conventional air-supplied masks do not have a separate device to detect the amount of air supplied into the mask through the air supply pipe and notify the worker. Therefore, in cases where there is a problem with the air compressor supplying the air or the air in the air supply tank is completely depleted and air is not properly supplied into the mask, the worker does not quickly recognize this, which can cause safety accidents both large and small, such as death due to oxygen deficiency.

Accordingly, an invention is being requested that can monitor the working environment from the outside by detecting whether oxygen is being supplied smoothly from an air compressor and whether the worker is breathing, and by taking pictures of the working environment and communicating with the outside, thereby enabling preparation for emergencies.
