[0002] A nitrogen generator is a device that uses air as a raw material and separates oxygen and nitrogen therein by physical methods to obtain nitrogen. In the existing technology, after the nitrogen is separated by the nitrogen generator and transported to the nitrogen storage device, the gas adsorbed by the adsorbent and the remaining gas are directly emptied after the waste gas in the adsorbent is desorbed by regenerating the adsorbent. However, the waste gas can be used in some equipment that requires gas, such as some instruments and meters. Directly emptying the waste gas is a waste.

[0003] The adsorbent in the adsorption tower of the nitrogen generator needs to be replaced after being used for a period of time. In the existing technology, when replacing the adsorbent, either the adsorption tower is opened for replacement, which is cumbersome and inconvenient to operate and has low efficiency; or a discharge pipe is set up for discharge, but in this way, the adsorbent in the adsorption tower often remains in the dead corner and is difficult to discharge. Therefore, an energy-saving waste gas recovery nitrogen generator is proposed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0020] Referring to Figure 1-2 As shown in , an energy-saving waste gas recovery nitrogen generator includes an air inlet 1, an adsorption tower 2 connected to the air inlet 1 through a pipeline, a nitrogen outlet pipe 3 connected to the adsorption tower 2, and an exhaust pipe 4 connected to the adsorption tower 2; it is characterized in that it further includes a waste gas collection pipe 5 connected to the exhaust pipe 4 and a waste gas storage tank 6 connected to the waste gas collection pipe 5; the adsorption tower 2 includes an adsorption tower A 21 and an adsorption tower B 22;

[0021] Through the arrangement of the waste gas collection pipe 5 and the waste gas storage tank 6, it is used to collect the waste gas after nitrogen production. The collected waste gas is stored in the waste gas storage tank 6 and can be supplied to other equipment that requires gas for use, realizing waste gas utilization and energy conservation.

[0022] In one embodiment, a number of control valves 7 are installed on the pipeline connecting the air inlet 1 and the adsorption tower 2.

[0023] In one embodiment, a number of control valves 7 are also installed on the nitrogen outlet pipe 3.

[0024] In one embodiment, a number of control valves 7 and a silencer 8 for reducing the noise when the waste gas is discharged are also installed on the exhaust pipe 4.

[0025] In one embodiment, it further includes a controller 9 for controlling a number of control valves 7. Through the arrangement of the controller 9, it is used to automatically control the opening and closing of the control valves 7, etc.

[0026] In one embodiment, the adsorption tower 2 is provided with a replacement structure for facilitating the replacement of the adsorbent. The replacement structure includes an adsorbent discharge port 11 provided at the lower part of the adsorption tower 2, an adsorbent addition port 10 provided at the upper part of the adsorption tower 2, and an upper limit plate 12 and a lower limit plate 13 provided inside the adsorption tower 2 for limiting the position of the adsorbent; control valves 7 are installed at both the adsorbent addition port 10 and the adsorbent discharge port 11;

[0027] Through the arrangement of the replacement structure, it is convenient to replace the adsorbent in the adsorption tower 2. The operation is simple, convenient, fast, and efficient, and the remaining part of the adsorbent to be replaced can be avoided from remaining in the adsorption tower 2 during replacement;

[0028] Through the settings of the upper limit plate 12 and the lower limit plate 13, the position of the adsorbent in the adsorption tower 2 is limited to prevent it from entering the exhaust pipe 4 or the nitrogen outlet pipe 3 during use.
