Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of oxygen supply, and particularly to a combined oxygen supply system for PSA oxygen generation and emergency oxygen generation. Background Art

[0002] Oxygen has always been important both in plain areas and plateau areas. In daily life, regular oxygen inhalation can relax the nerves, relieve nerve fatigue, improve the oxygen supply to the brain, and to a certain extent, regulate the functions of the brain nervous system. Regular oxygen inhalation will also reduce the stress responses of the respiratory system, circulatory system, digestive system, and nervous system to varying degrees.

[0003] At present, most of the oxygen supply systems on the market are made of containers, which are relatively large in size, inconvenient for transportation and installation, and there are still certain drawbacks in the supplementary oxygen equipment. If a malfunction occurs in the oxygen generation equipment during use, the repair cycle is long, the efficiency is low, and the cost is very high.

[0004] The operation mode of some oxygen generators on the market is continuous oxygen supply, that is, regardless of whether we inhale or not, the machine always outputs oxygen. The oxygen utilization rate of this oxygen supply method is relatively low and can only be used in the oxygen-using environment at home. If it is in places such as troops, hospitals, first aid stations, and sanatoriums in high-altitude areas or areas with underdeveloped transportation, the plan of centralized oxygen supply by using oxygen generators becomes unrealistic.

[0073] As Figure 6 shown, a recessed part is formed on the box body of the oxygen - generating box 2b1, and a plurality of holes are formed at the bottom of the recessed part, and the plurality of holes form the oxygen outlet of the oxygen - generating box 2b1; the oxygen filter box a2a3 includes a box body 2a31, a filter element 2a32 and an oxygen outlet joint a2a33, a protruding part matching with the recessed part is formed at the bottom of the box body 2a31, and a plurality of holes are formed on the bottom surface of the protruding part.

[0074] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-7 shown, a method for combined oxygen production by PSA oxygen generation and emergency oxygen generation and oxygen utilization includes the following steps:

[0075] Step 1: Under normal circumstances, the system is powered on and starts working. The master control module 6 issues an instruction to start the PSA oxygen generation group 1 to start producing oxygen. The oxygen supercharger 4 is in a closed state, and the emergency oxygen generation group 2 does not produce oxygen.

[0076] Step 2: The intake port of the compressor 11 of the PSA oxygen generation group 1 obtains air from the outside. After being pressurized, the high-pressure air is communicated with one of the outlet ports a122 and the molecular sieve tower a131 through the intake port 121 of the switching valve 12, and the other outlet port b123 is communicated with the molecular sieve tower b132 and the return air port 124.

[0077] During the process of the high-pressure air entering the molecular sieve tower a131 and being pressurized to the adsorption pressure, it includes the intake pressurization of the high-pressure air and the reverse pressurization of the molecular sieve tower b132 to it. Among them, for 1 intake port and 2 outlet ports of the switching valve 12, during the switching process, there is a very short period of time when the 3 ports are communicated. At this time of communication, the gas in the molecular sieve tower with high pressure will inflate into the molecular sieve tower with low pressure, that is, reverse pressurization is formed.

[0078] After the pressure of the molecular sieve tower a131 reaches the adsorption pressure, the molecular sieve selectively adsorbs the nitrogen molecules in the high-pressure air, thereby separating oxygen and nitrogen. After the nitrogen molecules are adsorbed, the oxygen molecules flow out from the outlet of the molecular sieve tower a131. When the air pressure in the molecular sieve tower a131 reaches the set pressure value and the adsorbed nitrogen reaches a certain saturation, it enters the process of pressure reduction and desorption. Through the switching of the switching valve 12, the adsorbed nitrogen in the molecular sieve tower a131 is discharged through the return air port 124 of the switching valve 12, and at the same time, the molecular sieve tower a131 conducts a certain amount of reverse pressurization to the molecular sieve tower b132. This process is carried out alternately in cycles.

[0079] Step 3: The oxygen concentration monitor 154 in the PSA oxygen generation group 1 continuously monitors the oxygen concentration at the outlet of the molecular sieve group 13 and feeds back a signal to the master control module 6. When the oxygen concentration is lower than 90%, the master control module 6 controls the switching valve 153 to act, and discharges the low-concentration oxygen together with nitrogen through the exhaust pipeline 152 from the return air port 124 of the switching valve 12. When the oxygen concentration monitor 154 monitors that the outlet oxygen reaches more than 90%, it timely feeds back the signal to the master control module 6, controls the switching valve 153 to act, and conveys the qualified oxygen into the low-pressure buffer tank 3.

[0080] Step 4: After oxygen enters the low-pressure buffer tank 3 for caching, the low-pressure sensor 31 monitors the internal air pressure of the tank. When the internal pressure reaches the preset boosting value, the low-pressure sensor 31 feeds back a signal to the master control module 6. The master control module 6 issues an instruction to start the oxygen booster 4 to boost the oxygen inside the low-pressure buffer tank 3 and then input it into the high-pressure oxygen storage tank 5. When the low-pressure sensor 31 monitors that the air pressure in the pressure buffer tank 3 reaches the set maximum safety value, it feeds back a signal to the master control module 6. The master control module 6 issues an instruction to the PSA oxygen generation unit 1 to suspend oxygen generation until the internal air pressure decreases, and then the PSA oxygen generation unit 1 will restart oxygen generation.

[0081] Step 5: The oxygen boosted by the oxygen booster 4 enters the high-pressure oxygen storage tank 5 for storage. When there is no immediate use of oxygen, when the internal pressure of the high-pressure oxygen storage tank 5 reaches the preset high pressure value, the high-pressure sensor 51 will feed back a signal to the master control module 6. The master control module 6 issues an instruction to turn off the operation of the oxygen booster 4. When oxygen is used and the internal pressure decreases, the oxygen booster 4 restarts working.

[0082] Step 6: Connect the portable oxygen supply device 7 to the filling device 8 at the outlet end of the high-pressure oxygen storage tank 5 through the high-pressure inflation joint 73 at the bottom for oxygen filling. After oxygen filling is completed, simply disconnect the connection; the filling device 8 is in the form of a high-pressure quick-insert self-locking type, allowing air to pass through when connected to the high-pressure inflation joint 73, and blocking the air flow after disconnection; the system can simultaneously fill multiple portable oxygen supply devices 7.

[0083] Step 7: When the oxygen user uses oxygen, connect the oxygen-saving outlet 72 of the portable oxygen supply device 7 to the oxygen inhalation tube. During normal breathing, the oxygen-saving outlet 72 controls the opening and closing of the internal components through the micro-negative pressure generated by the oxygen user's inhalation to achieve synchronous breathing-triggered pulsed oxygen supply.

[0084] Step 8: When an abnormal situation occurs and the PSA oxygen generation unit 1 fails to generate oxygen, oxygen can be produced by the emergency oxygen generation unit 2 and continue to be supplied to the low-pressure buffer tank 3.

[0085] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the emergency oxygen generation unit (2) can produce oxygen through two embodiments;

[0086] ① Oxygen generation by chemical agent method: The oxygen generation water tank 2a1 of the chemical agent oxygen generation group 2a contains pure water. The two chambers of the agent bin 2a2 are respectively filled with oxygen generation agent and catalyst. When oxygen generation is required, the switch 2a25 is manually pressed, and the baffle plates 2a24 at the bottoms of the oxygen generation agent bin 2a21 and the catalyst bin 2a22 are opened. The oxygen generation agent and the catalyst fall off from the discharge port 2a23 and enter the oxygen generation water tank 2a1, dissolve and fuse in water, and start to produce oxygen. After the oxygen generation agent and the catalyst enter the oxygen generation water tank 2a1, the baffle plate 2a24 automatically resets and closes. Exemplarily, the baffle plate 2a24 can be hinged. One end can be hinged and fixed on the box body, and the other end is a free end that abuts against the baffle. The reset can use a torsion spring, and the torsion spring can be fixed on the hinge shaft to keep the baffle plate 2a24 in the initial position. The oxygen generated after the chemical reaction of the oxygen generation agent and the catalyst in water passes through the oxygen filter box a2a3, is filtered by the filter element 2a32, and is output from the oxygen outlet joint a2a33 and enters the low-pressure buffer tank 3.

[0087] ② Oxygen generation by chemical oxygen candle method: The oxygen generation box 2b1 of the chemical oxygen candle oxygen generation group 2b is equipped with an oxygen candle body 2b2. When oxygen generation is required, the starter 2b3 on the outer box body of the oxygen generation box 2b1 is manually pressed. The starter 2b3 is internally connected to the oxygen candle body 2b2, and the front end generates heat by friction with the metal powder fuel inside and starts a chemical reaction. The heat dissipated during the chemical reaction can cause the chlorate inside the oxygen candle body 2b2 to release oxygen; the oxygen passes through the oxygen filter box b2b4 at the outlet of the oxygen generation box 2b1, is filtered by the filter element 2b41, and is output from the oxygen outlet joint b2b42 and enters the low-pressure buffer tank 3.

[0088] The micro oxygen generation, storage, supply and conservation system and its implementation method of the present invention mainly include a PSA oxygen generation group, an emergency oxygen generation group, a low-pressure buffer tank, an oxygen booster, a high-pressure oxygen storage tank, a total control module, a portable oxygen supply device, etc. The total control module can detect and control each functional module group, and intelligently control the working states of the oxygen generation system and the boosting system by detecting the pressure, concentration and flow rate of the gas in the pipeline. The PSA oxygen generation group and the chemical agent oxygen generation group can generate oxygen in different ways. The output low-pressure oxygen enters the low-pressure buffer tank for temporary storage, can become high-pressure oxygen after passing through the oxygen booster, is stored in the high-pressure oxygen storage tank, and is filled into the portable oxygen supply device for the oxygen absorber to use. This system can realize various forms such as oxygen generation, storage, supply and conservation, can meet the oxygen supply requirements in different scenarios, has reliable performance, simple operation, low failure rate, and is an ideal device for medical oxygen generation in high-altitude areas or areas with underdeveloped transportation.

[0089] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, combinations of elements, can be made therein without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
