Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0015] The utility model provides Figure 1-2A micro-module pressure swing adsorption nitrogen production adsorption tower shown in the figure comprises two bases 1, the tops of the two bases 1 are respectively connected to two first tower bodies 2 and second tower bodies 3, the first tower body 2 and the second tower body 3 are both provided with carbon molecular sieves as adsorbents, oxygen is preferentially adsorbed under high pressure, and nitrogen is enriched due to its lower diffusion rate, thereby separating nitrogen. Carbon molecular sieves are prior art and belong to the conventional technical means of personnel in this field, so they are not described in detail. The bottoms of the two first tower bodies 2 are both connected to the first air inlet pipe 4, the bottoms of the two second tower bodies 3 are both connected to the second air inlet pipe 5, and the tops of the two first tower bodies 2 are both connected to the first air outlet pipe 6. The top of one of the second tower bodies 3 is connected to an electromagnetic valve 1 7, the top of one of the second tower bodies 3 is connected to a second air outlet pipe 8, the top of another second tower body 3 is connected to a third air inlet pipe 9, and the top of another second tower body 3 is connected to a third air outlet pipe 10. The first tower body 2 and the second tower body 3 are supplied with air through an air compressor, and an electromagnetic valve 2 and an electromagnetic valve 3 are arranged on the air compressor. By connecting the two first air inlet pipes 4 to the external electromagnetic valve 2, and connecting the two second air inlet pipes 5 to the external electromagnetic valve 3, the two first air outlet pipes 6 are connected to the first air guide pipe, and the two first air guide pipes are connected by using a three-way pipe, and then the three-way pipe is connected. The first tower body 2 is connected to the input end of the electromagnetic valve 7, the second air outlet pipe 8 and the third air inlet pipe 9 are connected through the second air guide pipe, and the nitrogen transmission pipe is connected to the third air outlet pipe 10. When two first tower bodies 2 are used to make nitrogen, the electromagnetic valve 17 and the electromagnetic valve 2 are opened, and the electromagnetic valve 3 is closed. The compressed air is transported to the two first air inlet pipes 4, and then enters the first tower body 2 through the two first air inlet pipes 4. The nitrogen is separated by the carbon molecular sieve in the first tower body 2. The separated nitrogen enters the two first air outlet pipes 6, and enters the electromagnetic valve 7 through the first air outlet pipe 6, the first air guide pipe and the three-way pipe, and enters one of the second tower bodies 3, and then The nitrogen is discharged through the second air outlet pipe 8, enters the third air inlet pipe 9 through the second air guide pipe, and then enters another second tower body 3. Finally, the nitrogen is output through the third air outlet pipe 10, and the nitrogen is collected by the nitrogen transmission pipe. If the second tower body 3 needs to be used for nitrogen production, the solenoid valve 1 7 and the solenoid valve 2 are closed, and the solenoid valve 3 is opened to directly transport the compressed air to the second air inlet pipe 5, and then enter the second tower body 3 through the second air inlet pipe 5 for nitrogen production. Finally, the nitrogen is output through the third air outlet pipe 10, and the nitrogen is collected by the nitrogen transmission pipe. This can effectively reduce the number of solenoid valves used, save costs, and facilitate control.

The first cover plate 12 and the second cover plate 13 are both connected to the first tower body 2 and the second tower body 3 by bolts. The two first tower bodies 2 are connected by a first cover plate 12, so the two first tower bodies 2 are interconnected. The two second tower bodies 3 are connected by a second cover plate 13.

[0018] The output ends of the first air inlet pipe 4, the second air inlet pipe 5, the third air inlet pipe 9, the first air outlet pipe 6, the second air outlet pipe 8 and the third air outlet pipe 10 are all connected with a one-way valve, which can effectively prevent the gas in the first air inlet pipe 4, the second air inlet pipe 5, the third air inlet pipe 9, the first air outlet pipe 6, the second air outlet pipe 8 and the third air outlet pipe 10 from flowing back.

[0019] Working principle of this utility model:

[0020] The first tower body 2 and the second tower body 3 are jointly supplied with air through an air compressor, and a solenoid valve 2 and a solenoid valve 3 are arranged on the air compressor.

When the two first tower bodies 2 are used to make nitrogen, the solenoid valve 1 7 and the solenoid valve 2 are opened, and the solenoid valve 3 is closed, and the compressed air is transported to the two first air inlet pipes 4, and then enters the first tower body 2 through the two first air inlet pipes 4. The carbon molecular sieve in the tower body 2 separates nitrogen, and the separated nitrogen enters the two first air outlet pipes 6, and enters the solenoid valve 1 7 through the first air outlet pipe 6, the first air guide pipe and the three-way pipe, and enters one of the second tower bodies 3, and then is discharged through the second air outlet pipe 8, and enters the third air inlet pipe 9 through the second air guide pipe, and then enters the other second tower body 3, and finally outputs the nitrogen through the third air outlet pipe 10, and the nitrogen is collected by the nitrogen transmission pipe. If it is necessary to use the second tower body 3 for nitrogen production, close the solenoid valve 1 7 and the solenoid valve 2, open the solenoid valve 3, and directly transport the compressed air to the second air inlet pipe 5, and then enter the second tower body 3 through the second air inlet pipe 5 for nitrogen production, and finally outputs the nitrogen through the third air outlet pipe 10, and the nitrogen is collected by the nitrogen transmission pipe.
