[0038] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0039] An oxygen concentrator is a device that produces oxygen. According to the oxygen production method, it includes, but is not limited to, oxygen liquefaction oxygen concentrators and molecular sieve oxygen concentrators.
[0040] In one example, the working principle of a molecular sieve oxygen generator is based on the adsorption properties of molecular sieves. A compressor is used to compress the input air to generate high-pressure gas. Taking advantage of the different molecular sizes of the various gas components in the air, the high-pressure gas is passed through a specific gas molecular sieve, which adsorbs nitrogen molecules in the air and allows oxygen molecules to pass through, thereby separating a high concentration of oxygen from the air.
[0041] In another example, the working principle of the oxygen liquefaction oxygen generator is to use air separation technology. First, the compressor is used to compress the input air to produce high-pressure gas. Then, taking advantage of the different condensation points of the components in the air, the high-pressure gas is separated into gas and liquid at a certain temperature. Then, it is distilled to separate it into oxygen and nitrogen, and finally, high-concentration oxygen is separated out.
[0042] In the oxygen production process described above, a fan is needed to dissipate heat from the compressor, an oxygen concentration detection module is needed to detect the oxygen concentration, and other electrical components, such as a flow meter to detect the oxygen flow rate, are required. These electrical components are all installed separately inside the oxygen generator's casing, making their arrangement within the generator difficult and requiring a large amount of space.
[0043] Therefore, the mounting bracket disclosed in this embodiment of the invention may include a first support plate 1, a second support plate 2, a flow meter mounting base 3, and a fan mounting base 4. An oxygen concentration detection module 11 is mounted on one side of the first support plate 1. The second support plate 2 is angled relative to the first support plate 1 and is mounted on the compressor soundproof cover 12. The flow meter mounting base 3 is located on the end face of the second support plate 2 away from the first support plate 1 to mount a flow meter 13. The fan mounting base 4 is located on the second support plate 2 to mount a fan 14. By assembling the flow meter 13, the oxygen concentration detection module 11, and the fan 14 onto the same mounting bracket and fixing them to the compressor soundproof cover 12, the difficulty of arranging the flow meter 13, the oxygen concentration detection module 11, and the fan 14 in the oxygen generator can be reduced, and the integrated design of the mounting bracket reduces the space occupied by the oxygen generator.
[0044] Reference Figure 1-6 This invention provides a mounting bracket, which may include a first support plate 1, a second support plate 2, a flow meter mounting base 3, and a fan mounting base 4, wherein:
[0045] An oxygen concentration detection module 11 is installed on one side of the first support plate 1. The second support plate 2 is angled relative to the first support plate 1 and is mounted on the compressor soundproof cover 12. The flow meter mounting seat 3 is located on the end face of the second support plate 2 away from the first support plate 1 to install the flow meter 13. The fan mounting seat 4 is located on the second support plate 2 to install the fan 14.
[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, the first support plate 1 is used to mount the oxygen concentration detection module 11, wherein the oxygen concentration detection module 11 is used to detect the oxygen concentration produced by the oxygen generator. The oxygen concentration detection module 11 may be a module that detects oxygen concentration using working principles such as electrochemical principle, conductivity principle, and laser absorption principle.
[0047] The electrochemical principle refers to the use of an electrochemical sensor, which contains electrodes and an electrolyte. When oxygen enters the electrochemical sensor, it undergoes a redox reaction with the electrodes, generating an electric current. The concentration of oxygen can then be determined based on the magnitude of this current.
[0048] The conductivity principle refers to the effect of oxygen on conductivity. When oxygen is present, the conductivity is poor. As the oxygen concentration increases, the conductivity increases. Therefore, the oxygen concentration in the current gas can be determined by measuring the change in conductivity.
[0049] The principle of laser absorption refers to the absorption characteristic of laser light as it passes through oxygen gas. When laser light passes through oxygen, oxygen molecules absorb the energy of the laser, causing the laser intensity to decrease. Therefore, the oxygen concentration in the gas can be determined by measuring the change in laser intensity.
[0050] In summary, those skilled in the art can choose any type of oxygen concentration detection module 11 to detect oxygen concentration, without making too many restrictions here.
[0051] The second support plate 2 is angled relative to the first support plate 1, and the flow meter mounting base 3 is located on the end face of the second support plate 2 away from the first support plate 1. Thus, the second support plate 2 separates the assembly space for the oxygen concentration detection module 11 and the flow meter 13, and the assembly controls are independent in the horizontal plane. This reduces the space occupied in the horizontal plane while ensuring ease of assembly for the oxygen concentration detection module and the flow meter 13. For example, the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 2 can be vertically arranged. The flow meter 13 is used to detect and adjust the oxygen flow rate, allowing the user to select the corresponding flow level. It can include, but is not limited to, a rotor flow meter 13, a volumetric flow meter 13, and an electromagnetic flow meter 13. Those skilled in the art can select the appropriate flow meter 13 according to actual design requirements; no further limitations are made here.
[0052] The fan mounting base 4 is disposed on the second support plate 2 and is used to mount the fan 14, which is used to dissipate heat from the compressor. When the fan 14 is fixed on the fan mounting base 4, an air inlet is provided on the compressor soundproof cover 12, and the air outlet of the fan 14 is connected to the air inlet of the compressor soundproof cover 12. This allows airflow outside the compressor soundproof cover 12 to be sent into the compressor soundproof cover 12 when the fan 14 is working, thereby providing convective heat dissipation for the compressor.
[0053] The fan mounting base 4, the second support plate 2, and the first support plate 1 cooperate with each other to separate the assembly space of the oxygen concentration detection module 11, the flow meter 13, and the fan mounting base 4. This can reduce the space occupied on the horizontal plane while ensuring the ease of assembly of the oxygen concentration detection module 11, the flow meter 13, and the fan mounting base 4.
[0054] When assembling the mounting bracket with other electrical components, the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be installed on the first support plate 1, the flow meter 13 can be installed on the flow mounting base 3, the fan 14 can be installed on the fan mounting base 4, and finally the entire mounting bracket can be fixed on the compressor soundproof cover 12.
[0055] The assembly order of the oxygen concentration detection module 11, flow meter 13, and fan 14 is not limited in this embodiment of the invention. For example, the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be installed onto the first support plate 1 first, then the fan 14 can be installed onto the fan mounting base 4, and finally the flow meter 13 can be installed onto the flow mounting base 3. Alternatively, the fan 14 can be installed onto the fan mounting base 4 first, then the flow meter 13 can be installed onto the flow mounting base 3, and finally the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be installed onto the first support plate 1. Alternatively, the fan 14 can be installed onto the fan mounting base 4 first, then the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be installed onto the first support plate 1, and finally the flow meter 13 can be installed onto the flow mounting base 3. Alternatively, the flow meter 13 can be installed on the flow mounting base 3 first, then the fan 14 can be installed on the fan mounting base 4, and finally the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be installed on the first support plate 1. Alternatively, the flow meter 13 can be installed on the flow mounting base 3 first, then the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be installed on the first support plate 1, and finally the fan 14 can be installed on the fan mounting base 4.
[0056] The generated oxygen first enters the flow meter 13 through the inlet to detect the oxygen flow rate, and then enters the oxygen concentration detection module 11 through the outlet of the flow meter 13. After the oxygen concentration detection module 11 detects the current oxygen concentration, the oxygen is then sent out through the outlet of the oxygen concentration detection module 11 to the outlet of the oxygen generator for user use.
[0057] This invention discloses a mounting bracket, which may include a first support plate 1, a second support plate 2, a flow meter mounting seat 3, and a fan mounting seat 4. An oxygen concentration detection module 11 is mounted on one side of the first support plate 1. The second support plate 2 is angled relative to the first support plate 1 and mounted on a compressor soundproof cover 12. The flow meter mounting seat 3 is located on the end face of the second support plate 2 away from the first support plate 1 to mount a flow meter 13. The fan mounting seat 4 is located on the second support plate 2 to mount a fan 14. By assembling the flow meter 13, the oxygen concentration detection module 11, and the fan 14 onto the same mounting bracket and fixing them to the compressor soundproof cover 12, the arrangement of the flow meter 13, the oxygen concentration detection module 11, and the fan 14 within the oxygen generator is simplified, and the integrated design of the mounting bracket reduces the space occupied by the oxygen generator.
[0058] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 1 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, a first positioning post 5 is provided on one side of the first support plate 1. The first positioning post 5 cooperates with the first positioning hole opened on the oxygen concentration detection module 11 to limit the oxygen concentration detection module 11.
[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, the first positioning post 5 is used to position the oxygen concentration detection module 11 during assembly. To improve the positioning accuracy of the oxygen concentration detection module 11, the number of the first positioning posts 5 can be multiple. Those skilled in the art can determine the number of the first positioning posts 5 according to actual design requirements, and no further limitations are made here. For example, the number of the first positioning posts 5 can be two; another example is three; yet another example is four. The first positioning post 5 and the first positioning hole on the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be in clearance fit, so that during installation, once the first positioning hole on the oxygen concentration detection module 11 is fitted onto the first positioning post 5, the positioning of the oxygen concentration detection module 11 is confirmed. Correspondingly, the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be fixed to the first support plate 1 using screws, bolts, or other connecting components.
[0060] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first support plate 1 is installed vertically, and when the oxygen concentration detection module 11 is limited by the first positioning post 5, it is arranged parallel to the first support plate 1.
[0061] In this embodiment of the invention, the first support plate 1 is installed vertically, which can be understood as the first support plate 1 being parallel to the vertical direction. The first positioning post 5 can be set perpendicular to the first support plate 1, meaning the first positioning post 5 can be placed horizontally. Therefore, under the limiting effect of the first positioning post 5, the oxygen concentration detection module 11 is set parallel to the first support plate 1. This reduces the space occupied by the oxygen concentration detection module 11 on the horizontal plane without affecting it. This increases the component allocation space on the compressor soundproof cover 12, which helps reduce the difficulty of arranging various electrical components in the oxygen generator.
[0062] In some embodiments, a fixing column may also be provided on the first support plate 1, which can be used to fix the oxygen concentration detection module 11 to the first support plate 1 by cooperating with the fixing column through bolts, screws or other connecting parts. Preferably, the first support plate 1, the fixing column and the first positioning column 5 can be an integral structure, thereby reducing the production cost of the mounting bracket and improving the assembly accuracy between the first support plate 1, the fixing column and the first positioning column 5.
[0063] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the fan mounting base 4 may include a first mounting base plate 401 and two mounting posts 402. The first mounting base plate 401 is coplanar with the second support plate 2. The line connecting the two mounting posts 402 is collinear with the diameter of the fan 14, so that the fan 14 can be fixed to the mounting posts 402 by fasteners.
[0064] In this embodiment of the invention, the fan mounting base 4 may include a first mounting base plate 401 and two mounting fixing columns 402. The first mounting base plate 401 and the second support plate 2 are coplanar, meaning they are located in the same vertical plane. (Refer to...) Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the area of the first mounting base plate 401 is directly proportional to the specifications of the fan 14. That is, the larger the fan 14 is, the larger the area of the first mounting base plate 401 is, thereby providing fixed support for the fan 14.
[0065] To improve the connection stability of the fan 14, the line connecting the two mounting posts 402 can be collinear with the diameter of the fan 14. That is, the line connecting the two mounting posts 402 is collinear with the diameter of the fan 14, thus ensuring uniform force distribution after the fan 14 is fixed. Finally, the fan 14 can be fixed by fasteners engaging with the mounting posts 402. The outer surface of the fan 14 has mounting holes that match the positions of the mounting posts 402. During installation, the mounting holes on the outer surface of the fan 14 can be aligned with the positions of the mounting posts 402, and then the fan 14 can be fixed by fasteners engaging with the mounting posts 402.
[0066] The fasteners may be screws, bolts, or other components with external threads. Those skilled in the art can select specific fasteners according to the actual situation, and no further limitations are made here.
[0067] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, when the fan 14 is fixed on the first mounting base plate 401, the central axis of the fan 14 is set horizontally.
[0068] In this embodiment of the invention, the central axis of the fan 14 is horizontally set, which can be understood as the central axis of the fan 14 being parallel to the horizontal line. Correspondingly, the mounting and fixing column 402 can also be horizontally set, so that when the fan 14 is fixed on the first mounting base plate 401, the fan 14 can be installed in a vertical arrangement. This ensures the maximum contact area between the fan 14 and the first mounting base plate 401 while reducing the space occupied by the fan 14 on the horizontal plane. This increases the component distribution space on the compressor sound insulation cover 12, which helps to reduce the difficulty of arranging various electrical components in the oxygen generator.
[0069] When the central axis of the fan 14 is set horizontally, the air outlet of the fan 14 can be set in its radial direction, and the air outlet of the fan 14 faces the compressor soundproof cover 12, so as to convectively dissipate heat from the compressor located in the compressor soundproof cover 12 at the maximum wind speed.
[0070] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the first mounting base plate 401 has multiple reinforcing ribs 6 on its end face near the fan 14, and the multiple reinforcing ribs 6 surround the edge of the first mounting base plate 401.
[0071] In this embodiment of the invention, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 6 are provided on the end face of the first mounting base plate 401 near the fan 14. The reinforcing ribs 6 can be integrally formed with the first mounting base plate 401, thereby improving the structural stability of the first mounting base plate 401 and further enhancing the connection stability between the first mounting base plate 401 and the fan 14. Those skilled in the art can determine the number of reinforcing ribs 6 according to actual conditions. For example, the reinforcing ribs 6 can be set to two; for another example, the reinforcing ribs 6 can be set to three; for yet another example, the reinforcing ribs 6 can be set to four; for yet another example, the reinforcing ribs 6 can be set to five, etc., without further limitation here.
[0072] Multiple reinforcing ribs 6 surround the edge of the first mounting base plate 401. Specifically, some of the reinforcing ribs 6 connect end-to-end to enclose the edge of the first mounting base plate 401, thereby increasing the mechanical strength of the edge. Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs 6 can also be arranged intersectingly among themselves, thereby increasing the mechanical strength of the central area of the first mounting base plate 401.
[0073] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, one of the reinforcing ribs 6 can be located on the line connecting the two mounting columns 402, with its two ends fixed to the two mounting columns 402 respectively. This can further improve the connection stability between the fan mounting base 4 and the fan 14.
[0074] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, multiple reinforcing ribs 7 are provided on the end face of the first mounting base plate 401 away from the fan 14, and the multiple reinforcing ribs 7 are evenly distributed on the end face of the first mounting base plate 401 away from the fan 14.
[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, multiple reinforcing ribs 7 are further provided on the end face of the first mounting base plate 401 away from the fan 14. These reinforcing ribs 7 can be integrally formed with the first mounting base plate 401, thereby further improving the structural stability of the first mounting base plate 401 and the connection stability between the first mounting base plate 401 and the fan 14. "Uniformly distributed" refers to the ribs being spaced apart on the surface of the first mounting base plate 401. For example, there can be two reinforcing ribs; three; four; five, etc., without further limitation. The uniform distribution of multiple reinforcing ribs 7 on the end face of the first mounting base plate 401 away from the fan 14 enhances the overall mechanical strength of the first mounting base plate 401 while facilitating integral molding.
[0076] In some embodiments, one of the reinforcing ribs 7 may be located on the line connecting the two mounting posts 402, with its two ends fixed to the two mounting posts 402 respectively, thereby further improving the connection stability between the fan mounting base 4 and the fan 14.
[0077] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 5 As shown, a support rib is also provided between the first support plate 1 and the first mounting base plate 401. The support rib extends from the first support plate 1 to the first mounting base plate 401, thereby forming a triangular support, which improves the connection stability between the first support plate 1 and the first mounting base plate 401, and further improves the structural strength of the mounting bracket.
[0078] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the flow meter mounting base 3 may include a second mounting base plate 301 and a positioning rib 302, wherein the second mounting base plate 301 extends horizontally from the end face of the second support plate 2 away from the first support plate 1. The positioning rib 302 is disposed on the second mounting base plate 301 to form a mounting cavity 303 defining the position of the flow meter 13 together with the second mounting base plate 301 and the second support plate 2.
[0079] In this embodiment of the invention, the flow meter mounting base 3 may include a second mounting base plate 301 and a positioning rib 302. The second mounting base plate 301 may be a bent plate-like structure, extending horizontally from the end face of the second support plate 2 away from the first support plate 1, and forming a mounting surface for mounting the flow meter 13. The positioning rib 302 is disposed above the second mounting base plate 301. In other words, the positioning rib 302 extends vertically upward on the second mounting base plate 301, thereby forming a mounting cavity 303 that defines the position of the flow meter 13 by means of the positioning rib 302, the second mounting base plate 301, and the second support plate 2.
[0080] During the assembly of the flow meter 13, the flow meter 13 can be placed vertically into the mounting cavity 303 to prevent the flow meter from shifting position. Then, the flow meter 13 is fixed to the mounting bracket using connectors. For example, a connecting post can also be provided on the second mounting base plate 301. The connecting post is vertically positioned, allowing the flow meter 13 to be fixed to the second mounting base plate 301 using bolts, screws, or other connectors.
[0081] Furthermore, the flow meter 13 can also be installed vertically, thereby reducing the space occupied by the flow meter 13 on the horizontal plane. This also increases the component distribution space on the compressor soundproof cover 12, which helps to reduce the difficulty of arranging various electrical components in the oxygen generator.
[0082] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the end of the first support plate 1 away from the second support plate 2 is provided with a first buckle 8 to accommodate the device wire 15.
[0083] In this embodiment of the invention, a first buckle 8 is provided at the end of the first support plate 1 away from the second support plate 2. The first buckle 8 can be integrally designed with the first support plate 1, thereby reducing the production cost of the mounting bracket and reducing the assembly steps of the mounting bracket.
[0084] A first receiving cavity is formed on the first support plate 1, and a first receiving groove is formed on the top of the first support plate 1 away from the second support plate 2, communicating with the first receiving cavity, thereby forming the first buckle 8. Thus, when routing the device wire 15, the device wire 15 can be inserted into the first buckle 8 from the first receiving groove, thereby limiting the device wire 15, making the routing neat and facilitating the spatial arrangement of the device wire 15 in the oxygen generator. This also prevents the device wire 15 from becoming tangled and shaking, reducing safety risks.
[0085] In some embodiments, the opening of the first receiving groove gradually increases in size from near to far from the first receiving cavity, thereby forming a guide slope and improving the ease of inserting the device wire 15 into the first latch 8. In other embodiments, the distance from the bottom of the first receiving cavity to the first receiving groove is greater than the distance from the top of the first receiving cavity to the first receiving groove, thereby facilitating the first receiving cavity to accommodate more device wires 15 and preventing the device wires 15 from coming out.
[0086] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 1-6 As shown, the second support plate 2 is provided with a second buckle 9 at the end away from the fan mounting base 4 to accommodate the device wire 15.
[0087] In this embodiment of the invention, a second buckle 9 is provided at the end of the second support plate 2 away from the fan mounting base 4. The second buckle 9 can be integrated with the second support plate 2, thereby reducing the production cost of the mounting bracket and reducing the assembly steps of the mounting bracket.
[0088] A second receiving cavity is formed on the second support plate 2, and a second receiving groove is formed on the top of the second support plate 2 away from the fan mounting base 4, communicating with the second receiving cavity, thereby forming the second buckle 9. Thus, when routing the device wire 15, the device wire 15 can be inserted into the second buckle 9 from the second receiving groove, thereby limiting the device wire 15, making the routing neat and facilitating the spatial arrangement of the device wire 15 in the oxygen generator. This also prevents the device wire 15 from becoming tangled and shaking, reducing safety risks.
[0089] In some embodiments, the opening of the second receiving groove gradually increases in size from near to far from the second receiving cavity, thereby forming a guide slope and improving the ease of inserting the device wire 15 into the second latch 9. In other embodiments, the distance from the bottom of the second receiving cavity to the second receiving groove is greater than the distance from the top of the second receiving cavity to the second receiving groove, thereby facilitating the second receiving cavity to accommodate more device wires 15 and preventing the device wires 15 from coming out.
[0090] The device wires 15 may include the power cord of the fan 14, the power cord of the oxygen concentration detection module 11, and the power cord of the flow meter 13, etc. The device wires 15 may also include the power cord of the oxygen generator controller, etc. The type of device wires 15 is not limited here.
[0091] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the second support plate 2 is also provided with a fixed edge 10, which extends horizontally to contact the surface of the compressor soundproof cover 12.
[0092] In this embodiment of the invention, the second support plate 2 is further provided with a fixed edge 10, which extends horizontally and can be an integral structure with the second support plate 2. The cross-sectional shape of the structure formed by the fixed edge 10 and the second support plate 2 can be L-shaped. The fixed edge 10 is used to form a surface contact with the compressor sound insulation cover 12, thereby increasing the contact area between the second support plate 2 and the compressor sound insulation cover 12, and thus improving the structural stability of the mounting bracket on the compressor sound insulation cover 12.
[0093] In one example, mounting holes can be made on the fixed edge 10, so that the mounting bracket can be fixed to the compressor soundproof cover 12 by screws, bolts or other connectors. In other embodiments, when the second support plate 2, the fixed edge 10 and the compressor soundproof cover 12 are all made of metal, the second support plate 2 and the fixed edge 10 can also be welded to the compressor soundproof cover 12 respectively.
[0094] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the fixed edge 10 can also extend to the bottom of the fan mounting base 4. For example, the fixed edge 10 extends to the first mounting base plate 401, and the reinforcing rib 7 can extend from the first mounting base plate 401 to the fixed edge 10. This can further increase the contact area between the fixed edge 10 and the compressor sound insulation cover 12, while also allowing the reinforcing rib 7 to form a triangular support, thereby further improving the structural strength of the fan mounting base 4.
[0095] When assembling the mounting bracket with other electrical components, the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be assembled first. After the first positioning hole on the oxygen concentration detection module 11 is fitted onto the first positioning post 5, the positioning of the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be determined. Correspondingly, the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be fixed to the first support plate 1 by screws, bolts or other connecting parts.
[0096] Then the fan 14 can be assembled. The outer surface of the fan 14 has mounting holes that are adapted to the position of the mounting post 402. When installing the fan 14, the mounting holes on the outer surface of the fan 14 can be aligned with the position of the mounting post 402, and then the fan 14 can be fixed by fasteners to the mounting post 402.
[0097] Next, the flow meter 13 can be assembled. The flow meter 13 can be placed vertically into the mounting cavity 303 to prevent positional displacement, and then fixed to the mounting bracket using connectors. For example, a connecting post can also be provided on the second mounting base plate 301. The connecting post is vertically positioned, allowing the flow meter 13 to be fixed to the second mounting base plate 301 using bolts, screws, or other connectors.
[0098] Finally, the wires 15 of each electrical component can be inserted into the first clip 8 and the second clip 9 respectively, and the mounting bracket can be fixed to the compressor soundproof cover 12.
[0099] In summary, this invention discloses a mounting bracket, which may include a first support plate 1, a second support plate 2, a flow meter mounting seat 3, and a fan mounting seat 4. An oxygen concentration detection module 11 is mounted on one side of the first support plate 1. The second support plate 2 is angled relative to the first support plate 1 and mounted on a compressor soundproof cover 12. The flow meter mounting seat 3 is located on the end face of the second support plate 2 away from the first support plate 1 to mount a flow meter 13. The fan mounting seat 4 is located on the second support plate 2 to mount a fan 14. By assembling the flow meter 13, oxygen concentration detection module 11, and fan 14 onto the same mounting bracket and fixing them to the compressor soundproof cover 12, the difficulty of arranging the flow meter 13, oxygen concentration detection module 11, and fan 14 in the oxygen generator can be reduced, and the integrated design of the mounting bracket reduces the space occupied by the oxygen generator.

The flow meter mounting seat 3 is located on the end face of the second support plate 2 away from the first support plate 1 to mount a flow meter 13. The fan mounting seat 4 is located on the second support plate 2 to mount a fan 14. By assembling the flow meter 13, the oxygen concentration detection module 11, and the fan 14 on the same mounting bracket and fixing them to the compressor soundproof cover 12, the difficulty of arranging the flow meter 13, the oxygen concentration detection module 11, and the fan 14 in the oxygen concentrator can be reduced, and the integrated design of the mounting bracket reduces the space occupied by the oxygen concentrator.
[0103] When assembling the mounting bracket with other electrical components, the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be assembled first.

Correspondingly, the oxygen concentration detection module 11 can be fixed to the first support plate 1 by screws, bolts or other connecting parts.
[0104] Then the fan 14 can be assembled. The outer surface of the fan 14 has mounting holes that are adapted to the position of the mounting post 402. When installing the fan 14, the mounting holes on the outer surface of the fan 14 can be aligned with the position of the mounting post 402, and then the fan 14 can be fixed by fasteners to the mounting post 402.
[0105] Next, the flow meter 13 can be assembled. The flow meter 13 can be placed vertically into the mounting cavity 303 to prevent positional displacement, and then fixed to the mounting bracket using connectors. For example, a connecting post can also be provided on the second mounting base plate 301. The connecting post is vertically positioned, allowing the flow meter 13 to be fixed to the second mounting base plate 301 using bolts, screws, or other connectors.
[0106] Finally, the wires 15 of each electrical component can be inserted into the first clip 8 and the second clip 9 respectively, and the mounting bracket can be fixed to the compressor soundproof cover 12.
[0107] In addition to the assembly sequence described above, the oxygen concentration detection module can be assembled onto the first support plate 1 first, then the flow meter 13 can be assembled onto the flow mounting base 3, and finally the oxygen concentration detection module can be assembled onto the first support plate 1. Alternatively, the fan 14 can be assembled onto the fan mounting base 4 first, then the oxygen concentration detection module can be assembled onto the first support plate 1, and finally the flow meter 13 can be assembled onto the flow mounting base 3. Alternatively, the fan 14 can be assembled onto the fan mounting base 4 first, then the flow meter 13 can be assembled onto the flow mounting base 3, and finally the oxygen concentration detection module can be assembled onto the first support plate 1. Alternatively, the flow meter 13 can be assembled onto the flow mounting base 3 first, then the oxygen concentration detection module can be assembled onto the first support plate 1, and finally the fan 14 can be assembled onto the fan mounting base 4. Alternatively, the flow meter 13 can be assembled onto the flow mounting base 3 first, then the fan 14 onto the fan mounting base 4, and finally the oxygen concentration detection module onto the first support plate 1. The assembly order of the oxygen concentration detection module 11, the fan 14, and the flow meter 13 described above can be interchanged. No further limitations are imposed here. As a preferred embodiment, the assembly order is determined based on the ease of actual assembly.
