When the adsorbent adsorbs oxygen and is in a saturated state, the pipeline is closed to stop the input of high-pressure air inside the reaction tank, and the external valve on the pipeline is opened to discharge the high-pressure gas inside the reaction tank, so that the pressure inside the reaction tank is reduced. When the pressure inside the reaction tank is reduced, the adsorbent's adsorption capacity for gas is weakened, especially the adsorption of oxygen, causing oxygen to begin to desorb and be discharged from the inside of the reaction tank. At the same time, the newly produced nitrogen is reintroduced into the inside of the reaction tank through the pipeline. The nitrogen molecules will replace the oxygen molecules of the adsorbent. The adsorbent has a low affinity for nitrogen, and is replaced by the adsorbed oxygen. As a result, the oxygen is replaced and released again, accelerating the adsorbent to recover to an unsaturated state, thereby achieving zero gas consumption.

The wavy partition can increase its elasticity and deformation ability, so that the pressure can be evenly distributed when the gas impacts, thereby reducing the local stress concentration and absorbing the impact energy when the nitrogen is discharged.

In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the present invention provides a zero-gas-consumption PSA nitrogen-generating device, comprising a fixing frame 1, a purification unit 2 is fixedly connected to the upper portion of the fixing frame 1, and the purification unit 2 can compress and filter the input air to remove impurities in the air;

[0042] The purification unit 2 is connected to the adsorption unit 3, which can filter the pumped air so that the oxygen in the air is adsorbed and nitrogen is left;

[0043] The adsorption part 3 is connected with a buffer part 4, and the buffer part 4 can collect the nitrogen generated by the adsorption part 3;

[0044] The adsorption part 3 includes a reaction tank 301, a diffusion seat 302, a diffusion plate 303, a support plate 304, an adsorbent 305, a fixed plate 306, a sliding seat 307, a travel alarm 308 and a one-way air extraction valve 309. The reaction tank 301 is provided with at least two seats, and the reaction tanks 301 are connected by a pipeline with a valve. The lower end of the reaction tank 301 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 1, and the lower end of the reaction tank 301 is connected to the inlet and outlet of the purification part 2 through a pipeline. The diffusion seat 302 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the reaction tank 301, the diffusion plate 303 is arranged at the lower end of the reaction tank 301, and the support plate 304 is arranged at the diffusion plate 303. The support plate 304 is fixedly connected to the interior of the lower end of the reaction tank 301, the support plate 304 is arranged inside the reaction tank 301, and the adsorbent 305 is arranged on the upper part of the support plate 304, the fixed plate 306 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the reaction tank 301, the upper end of the sliding seat 307 is slidably arranged inside the fixed plate 306, and the lower end of the sliding seat 307 is in contact with the upper end of the adsorbent 305, the travel alarm 308 is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the fixed plate 306, and the travel alarm 308 cooperates with the upper end of the sliding seat 307, and the output end of the one-way air extraction valve 309 is arranged between the fixed plate 306 and the sliding seat 307.

[0045] Specifically, during the nitrogen production process, air is first filtered and compressed by the purification unit 2 and discharged into the adsorption unit 3;

[0046] It should be noted that the compressed purified air first enters one of the corresponding reaction tanks 301 through a pipeline for filling, and the other reaction tanks 301 are closed by switches at the pipelines;

[0047] When the compressed air enters the interior of the reaction tank 301, the compressed air is first diffused through the guide inside the diffusion seat 302, and the diffused compressed air is further diffused into smaller airflows through the interior of the diffusion plate 303, so that the diffused airflow can pass through the interior of the adsorbent 305 more evenly, thereby improving the utilization rate of the adsorbent 305, thereby improving the gas production efficiency and performance of the equipment;

[0048] After the compressed air first enters the interior of the adsorbent 305, the oxygen in the compressed air is adsorbed due to the interaction with the interior of the adsorbent 305, so that the adsorbent 305 enters the adsorption stage, while the nitrogen that is not easily adsorbed by the adsorbent 305 enters the air outlet at the upper end of the reaction tank 301, thereby achieving the separation of nitrogen. The separated nitrogen is extracted and stored through the buffer part 4;

[0049] When the adsorbent 305 is in a saturated state due to the adsorption of oxygen, the pipeline is closed to stop the input of high-pressure air into the reaction tank 301, and the external valve on the pipeline is opened to discharge the high-pressure gas inside the reaction tank 301, so that the pressure inside the reaction tank 301 is reduced (usually it is switched to a low-pressure state). When the pressure inside the reaction tank 301 is reduced, the adsorbent 305's ability to adsorb gas is weakened, especially the adsorption of oxygen, causing oxygen to begin to desorb and be discharged from the inside of the reaction tank 301. At the same time, the newly produced nitrogen is reintroduced into the inside of the reaction tank 301 through the pipeline. The nitrogen molecules will replace the oxygen molecules of the adsorbent 305. The adsorbent 305 has a low affinity for nitrogen, and is replaced by the adsorbed oxygen. As a result, the oxygen is replaced and released again, accelerating the adsorbent 305 to recover to an unsaturated state, thereby achieving zero gas consumption.

[0050] During the process of the adsorbent 305 adsorbing compressed air, high-pressure air is discharged between the sliding seat 307 and the fixed plate 306 through the one-way air extraction valve 309, so that the sliding seat 307 can extend out of the fixed plate 306. The extension of the fixed plate 306 can squeeze the adsorbent 305. The position of the sliding seat 307 is detected by the travel alarm 308, and the detection data is sent to the inside of the console 201, so that the whole of the adsorbent 305 is more compact, can better resist external mechanical stress, extend the service life, and can also improve the arrangement between particles, make the pores smoother, and improve the adsorption capacity of substances; it can also reduce the porosity of the material, increase the overall density, and enhance the stability and reliability of the molecular sieve;

[0051] While waiting for the adsorbent 305 inside this reaction tank 301 to recover, the compressed air is switched to the inside of the next reaction tank 301 that has not been adsorbed through a pipeline. By switching multiple reaction tanks 301, the adsorbent 305 inside different reaction tanks 301 has sufficient adsorption or desorption time, thereby achieving continuous production of nitrogen.

[0052] See also Figures 6 to 8 As shown, a plurality of spiral air guide grooves are provided inside the diffuser plate 303. The spiral air guide grooves allow the airflow entering the diffuser seat 302 to be changed into a spiral upward direction through the diffuser plate 303, so that the airflow is diffused around the inside of the reaction tank 301, and the airflow passing time (adsorption time) inside the reaction tank 301 can be prolonged, thereby improving the adsorption rate.

[0053] See also Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the support plate 304 is industrial coconut board, which is a filter material made of coconut shell or coconut fiber. The pore structure formed by the coconut shell after processing is relatively uniform, which can effectively capture and filter out particulate matter in water or air. This porosity enables the coconut board to provide a larger filtering area during the filtering process.

[0054] See also Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the material used for the adsorbent 305 is a carbon molecular sieve. The pore size design of the carbon molecular sieve enables it to selectively adsorb small molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor, but has almost no adsorption capacity for larger nitrogen molecules, thereby completing the production of nitrogen.

[0055] See also Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the lower ends of the fixed plate 306 and the sliding seat 307 are both provided with through holes. The mesh through holes are light, high-strength and have good permeability, ensuring that the sliding seat 307 can apply pressure to the adsorbent 305 and can also allow the gas inside the adsorbent 305 to be smoothly discharged through the mesh through holes.

[0056] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the purification unit 2 includes a control console 201, an air delivery pump 202, an air intake seat 203, a booster pump 204, a filter tank 205, a guide plate 206 and an air filter material 207. The control console 201 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 1, the control console 201 is connected to the mains, the air delivery pump 202 is fixedly connected to the inside of the control console 201, the air intake seat 203 is fixedly connected to the input end of the air delivery pump 202, and the input end of the booster pump 204 is also fixedly connected to the air intake seat 203. The outlet is fixedly connected to the input end of the one-way air extraction valve 309, the lower end of the filter tank 205 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 1, the lower end of the filter tank 205 is connected to the output end of the air delivery pump 202, the guide plate 206 is fixedly arranged inside the filter tank 205, the air filter material 207 is filled inside the filter tank 205, and the console 201 is electrically connected to the air delivery pump 202, the booster pump 204, the travel alarm 308, the one-way air extraction valve 309, the extraction pump 402 and the pressure relief valve 403;

[0057] The console 201 is internally integrated with a processor and control buttons; the console 201 controls the air delivery pump 202 to extract the air at the air inlet seat 203 and pump it into the filter tank 205, and the air is filtered and purified at the air filter material 207 inside the filter tank 205 to remove solid impurities in the air, so as to prevent the solid impurities from contaminating the adsorbent 305, causing the adsorbent 305 to be blocked, thereby reducing the filtering efficiency of the adsorbent 305;

[0058] The pressure pump 204 provides high-pressure air to the input end of the one-way air extraction valve 309 , thereby providing squeezing power for the sliding seat 307 to slide inside the fixed plate 306 .

[0059] See also Figure 5 As shown, the guide plate 206 is generally arranged in a spiral shape. The spiral shape design can effectively increase the contact area of ​​the airflow on the air filter material 207, thereby increasing the contact probability between the particulate matter and the air filter material 207, making the filtration efficiency higher; compared with the traditional straight-through filter, the spiral air guide structure can better manage the direction of the airflow, reduce the pressure loss generated when the airflow passes through the filter medium, and thus improve the overall energy efficiency of the system.

[0060] See also Figure 4 As shown, the air intake seat 203 is divided into a double-layer design of an inner tube 2031 and an outer cover 2032. The outer cover 2032 is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the plurality of through holes can inhale gas at different positions, thereby achieving a more uniform gas distribution, avoiding airflow concentration at a single position, and improving the overall gas processing efficiency; the design of multiple through holes can effectively disperse the air intake points and reduce the risk of blockage. The double-layer structure is convenient for cleaning and maintenance. The design of the outer cover 2032 allows users to perform daily inspections and maintenance more easily.

[0061] See also Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the buffer part 4 includes an extraction seat 401, an extraction pump 402, a pressure relief valve 403, a connecting pipe 404 and an air storage tank 405, the extraction seat 401 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the reaction tank 301, the extraction pump 402 is fixedly arranged inside the extraction seat 401, and the input end of the extraction pump 402 is connected to the inside of the reaction tank 301, the pressure relief valve 403 is arranged inside the extraction seat 401, and the pressure relief valve 403 is connected to the inside of the reaction tank 301, one end of the connecting pipe 404 is fixedly connected to the output end of the extraction pump 402, the lower end of the air storage tank 405 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 1, and the inside of the air storage tank 405 is connected to the other end of the connecting pipe 404;

[0062] After the nitrogen in the reaction tank 301 is separated, the nitrogen in the reaction tank 301 is extracted through the input end of the extraction pump 402 and pumped to the inside of the gas storage tank 405 through the connecting pipe 404 for storage, thereby completing the transportation and storage of the nitrogen;

[0063] The pressure relief valve 403 is used as a switch to connect the reaction tank 301 with the external air, thereby discharging the corresponding high-pressure gas inside the reaction tank 301, restoring the internal pressure of the reaction tank 301, and allowing the adsorbent 305 to enter a desorption state and release the adsorbed oxygen.

[0064] See also Figures 9 to 11 As shown, a plurality of partitions 4051 are arranged inside the gas storage tank 405, and the partitions 4051 are arranged in a wavy shape. The wavy partitions 4051 can increase its elasticity and deformation capacity, so that the pressure can be evenly distributed when the gas impacts, thereby reducing the local stress concentration and absorbing the impact energy when the nitrogen is discharged.

[0065] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: during the nitrogen production process, air is firstly discharged into the interior of the adsorption part 3 through filtration and compression of the purification part 2;

[0066] It should be noted that the compressed purified air first enters one of the corresponding reaction tanks 301 through a pipeline for filling, and the other reaction tanks 301 are closed by switches at the pipelines;

[0067] When the compressed air enters the reaction tank 301, the compressed air is first diffused through the guide inside the diffusion seat 302, and the diffused compressed air is further diffused into smaller airflows through the inside of the diffusion plate 303, so that the diffused airflow can pass through the inside of the adsorbent 305 more evenly, thereby improving the utilization rate of the adsorbent 305, thereby improving the gas production efficiency and performance of the equipment;

[0068] After the compressed air first enters the interior of the adsorbent 305, the oxygen in the compressed air is adsorbed due to the interaction with the interior of the adsorbent 305, so that the adsorbent 305 enters the adsorption stage, while the nitrogen that is not easily adsorbed by the adsorbent 305 enters the air outlet at the upper end of the reaction tank 301, thereby achieving the separation of nitrogen. The separated nitrogen is extracted and stored through the buffer part 4;

[0069] When the adsorbent 305 is in a saturated state of adsorbing oxygen, the pipeline is closed to stop the input of high-pressure air into the reaction tank 301, and the external valve on the pipeline is opened to discharge the high-pressure gas inside the reaction tank 301, so that the pressure inside the reaction tank 301 is reduced (usually it is switched to a low-pressure state). When the pressure inside the reaction tank 301 is reduced, the adsorbent 305's ability to adsorb gas, especially the adsorption of oxygen, is weakened, causing oxygen to begin to desorb and be discharged from the inside of the reaction tank 301. At the same time, nitrogen is introduced into the inside of the reaction tank 301 through the pipeline, and the nitrogen molecules will replace the oxygen molecules of the adsorbent 305. The adsorbent 305 has a low affinity for nitrogen, and is replaced by the adsorbed oxygen, resulting in the oxygen being replaced and released again.

[0070] During the process of the adsorbent 305 adsorbing compressed air, high-pressure air is discharged between the sliding seat 307 and the fixed plate 306 through the one-way air extraction valve 309, so that the sliding seat 307 can extend out of the fixed plate 306. The extension of the fixed plate 306 can squeeze the adsorbent 305. The position of the sliding seat 307 is detected by the travel alarm 308, and the detection data is sent to the inside of the console 201, so that the whole of the adsorbent 305 is more compact, can better resist external mechanical stress, extend the service life, and can also improve the arrangement between particles, make the pores smoother, and improve the adsorption capacity of substances; it can also reduce the porosity of the material, increase the overall density, and enhance the stability and reliability of the molecular sieve;

[0071] While waiting for the adsorbent 305 inside this reaction tank 301 to recover, the compressed air is switched to the inside of the next reaction tank 301 that has not been adsorbed through a pipeline. By switching multiple reaction tanks 301, the adsorbent 305 inside different reaction tanks 301 has sufficient adsorption or desorption time, thereby achieving continuous production of nitrogen.

[0072] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
