Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of airflow switching rotary valves, and in particular relates to a multi-channel airflow distribution rotary valve combined with a bottom valve and a top valve for molecular sieve oxygen production. Background Art

[0002] Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) oxygen production equipment is an automated equipment that uses zeolite molecular sieve as adsorbent, and uses the principle of pressurized adsorption and decompression desorption to adsorb and release nitrogen from the air, thereby separating oxygen. Zeolite molecular sieve is a spherical granular adsorbent with micropores on the surface and inside, which is processed by a special pore treatment process and is white. Its pore characteristics enable it to achieve kinetic separation of O2 and N2. The separation effect of zeolite molecular sieve on O2 and N2 is based on the slight difference in the kinetic diameters of the two gases. N2 molecules have a faster diffusion rate in the micropores of zeolite molecular sieves, while O2 molecules have a slow diffusion rate. The diffusion of water and CO2 in compressed air is not much different from that of nitrogen. In the end, oxygen molecules are enriched from the adsorption tower. The principle of pressure swing adsorption utilizes the selective adsorption characteristics of zeolite molecular sieves, and adopts a cycle of pressurized adsorption and decompression desorption to allow compressed air to alternately enter the adsorption tower to achieve air separation, thereby continuously producing high-purity product oxygen.

[0003] Since the traditional pressure swing adsorption oxygen production system adopts a two-tower process flow, when the oxygen production output is large, the diameter and height of the adsorption tower are large, and due to the limitations of the process flow, the oxygen production performance is low and the energy consumption is high. In order to improve the oxygen production performance and the integration of equipment, a multi-tower adsorption bed structure has gradually been proposed for use in pressure swing adsorption oxygen production equipment. The PSA oxygen production equipment with a multi-tower adsorption bed structure can significantly improve the oxygen recovery performance through multiple pressure equalization and rapid cycles, and has obvious advantages over the traditional two-tower PSA oxygen production equipment. The airflow switching valve is the core component of the adsorption separation equipment. The traditional multi-tower PSA oxygen production equipment usually uses a combination of multiple solenoid valves and pneumatic valves to achieve airflow switching control, which has a complex structure, high equipment cost and high failure rate.

[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to use a multi-channel rotary valve to switch the gas path to achieve the effect of oxygen production. The core components of the rotary valve are disc-shaped moving valve plates and static valve plates. The working end surface of the moving valve plate is provided with an air inlet groove and a desorption groove, and the working end surface of the static valve plate is provided with multiple through holes connected to the adsorption tower. As the rotating shaft drives the moving valve plate to rotate, the working end surfaces of the moving and static valve plates fit together to complete the gas path switching, thereby realizing the adsorption and desorption cycle steps in the pressure swing adsorption process and completing the multi-tower PSA separation oxygen production process. At present, most of them use a combination of a single moving valve plate and a single static valve plate to produce oxygen. The adsorption, desorption and other processes are only carried out at one position, resulting in low oxygen production efficiency and low system integration. In addition, the current small PSA oxygen generators are all driven by motors, and the performance is unstable. Summary of the invention
