[0055] In this embodiment, a cavity structure for silencing is provided in the base 500, and the base 500 is connected to the installation cavity 410 of the compressor compartment 400 through a second opening; it can be understood that the gas in the pipe structure 420 is passed into the compressor compartment 400 through the exhaust piece 430 and dissipates heat and cools the compressor 300 in the compressor compartment 400, and the cooled gas enters the base 500 through the second opening for silencing and noise reduction before being discharged.

[0065] The expansion chambers 121 can be configured with two or three stages, etc., and can be configured specifically according to the model of the oxygen concentrator 010 to achieve the best noise reduction effect. Accordingly, the expansion chambers 121 are connected via the connection ports 128 .

[0067] A first expansion chamber 111 is formed in the first muffler unit 110 , and an air inlet 102 is provided in the first expansion chamber 111 .

[0068] The primary expansion chamber in the second muffler unit 120 includes a second expansion chamber 122 and a third expansion chamber 123 that are connected in sequence; the second expansion chamber 122 is connected to the first expansion chamber 111; and the third expansion chamber 123 is provided with two connecting ports 128.

[0077] The working principles of the noise reduction structure 100 and the oxygen generator 010 proposed in this embodiment are:

[0078] When compressor 300 is operating, gas is drawn into the inlet of compressor 300 through muffler chamber 440 and inlet pipe 310. Compressor 300 compresses the gas and then directs the compressed air from the outlet of compressor 300 into molecular sieve 200 for separation. Molecular sieve 200 separates the compressed air into oxygen and other gases, completing oxygen production in oxygen concentrator 010 and outputting the separated oxygen to an oxygen storage tank for storage.

[0079] The nitrogen exhaust port of the molecular sieve 200 discharges air flow, and the air flow enters the silencer structure 100 through the air inlet 102. The air flow is in the first expansion chamber 111, and the sound-absorbing component 104 in the first expansion chamber 111 performs resistive silence on the air flow; then the air flow flows from the first expansion chamber 111 to the second expansion chamber 122 and the third expansion chamber 123 in sequence, and multiple expansion chambers 121 buffer and reduce noise for the air flow; the air flow is diverted in the third expansion chamber 123, and part of the air flow is diverted to the fourth expansion chamber 124 and the fifth expansion chamber 125, and is discharged from the air outlet 103 at the fifth expansion chamber 125 to the installation cavity 410 of the compressor cabin 400; the other part of the air flow is diverted to the sixth expansion chamber 126 and the seventh expansion chamber 127, and is discharged from the air outlet 103 at the seventh expansion chamber 127 to the installation cavity 410 of the compressor cabin 400.

[0080] The airflow enters the installation cavity 410 , which can further isolate the nitrogen exhaust noise due to its good sealing performance; then the airflow enters the base 500 through the second opening and is exhausted.

[0081] In summary, the silencer structure 100 and the oxygen concentrator 010 proposed in the present invention perform resistive silence on the airflow by providing a sound-absorbing member 104; and perform resistive silence on the airflow entering the cavity by providing a plurality of expansion chambers 121 that are spaced apart and connected to each other to reduce the wind resistance of the airflow entering the cavity; the combination of the two realizes impedance composite silencer, reduces nitrogen exhaust noise, and solves the technical problem of poor effect of existing nitrogen exhaust silencer structures.
