Managing high-pressure gas cylinders presents challenges, including ensuring secure and efficient connections between the cylinder and gas delivery systems while minimizing risks of accidental disconnection or leaks. Existing systems often lack user-friendly designs for swift assembly and disassembly, posing risks for industrial, medical, and other applications.
Core Features
- Quick Locking Assembly: A two-part mechanism with a male and female coupling system. The male part integrates a pressure regulator connected to the gas cylinder, while the female part interfaces with the gas delivery system.
- Adjustable Protrusions: These secure the connection and prevent accidental decoupling while allowing fine-tuned alignment during assembly.
- Pressure Regulation: A built-in pressure regulator reduces high-pressure gas (e.g., hydrogen) to safer, usable levels. Multiple safety valves and a pressure gauge enhance safety and operational monitoring.
- Rotational Engagement: The system requires a defined rotational threshold for coupling, ensuring robust connections.
Benefits
- Safety: Reduces risks of leaks or accidents through secure connections and integrated safety valves.
- Ease of Use: Simplifies assembly and disassembly processes, making it ideal for various applications, including medical gas lines and industrial setups.
- Efficiency: Maintains consistent, regulated gas flow to connected systems, optimizing performance and minimizing downtime.
Impact
This system advances safety and usability in handling pressurized gas cylinders, contributing to industries such as healthcare, energy, and manufacturing. By ensuring secure and efficient gas delivery, it promotes economic savings, environmental sustainability (e.g., through hydrogen utilization), and safety in critical operations. This invention represents a significant improvement in gas delivery technology, emphasizing reliability, ease of use, and operational safety.
