[0022] In this embodiment, the support frame 1 serves as the supporting foundation of the entire system, ensuring that other components such as the housing 2 and the compressor 3 can be stably installed and operated, thereby improving the stability and safety of the system and facilitating the overall installation and maintenance of the equipment. The housing 2 integrates the high-pressure fan 4 and the compressor 3, which is the main working area for air extraction and compression. It provides a closed working environment, reduces external interference, and improves the efficiency and quality of air processing. The high-pressure fan 4 is responsible for extracting external air and providing the original air source for the entire system. The strong suction force ensures sufficient air flow and is the basis for the compression and separation process. The compressor 3 compresses the air extracted by the high-pressure fan 4, reducing its volume and increasing its density. The compression process creates conditions for subsequent liquefaction separation and improves the processing efficiency. The discharge pipe 5 guides the liquid air (mixed gas) compressed by the compressor 3 to the liquid storage tank 6, ensuring the smooth flow of liquid air and avoiding the efficiency reduction or damage caused by accumulation inside the compressor 3. The liquid storage tank 6 stores the compressed liquid air in preparation for the subsequent separation process. As an intermediate storage container, it ensures the continuity and stability of the system and facilitates subsequent batch processing and transportation.

[0023] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the filter assembly includes an air intake pipe 8, a shell 9, a protective cover 10 and a filter box 11, the air intake pipe 8 is installed at the air intake end of the high-pressure blower 4 and extends to the outside of the box 2, the shell 9 is installed on the support frame 1 and is connected to the air intake pipe 8, the protective cover 10 is detachably installed at the bottom of the shell 9, the filter box 11 is detachably installed at the bottom of the protective cover 10, and the filter box 11 is filled with filter material for isolating solid impurities.

[0024] In this embodiment, the air inlet pipe 8 serves as a channel for air to enter the high-pressure blower 4. It is installed at the air inlet end of the high-pressure blower 4 and extends to the outside of the box 2, ensuring that the external air can be smoothly extracted, ensuring a stable supply of the air source, and providing a basis for subsequent processing procedures. The shell 9 serves as a support and protection structure for the filter box 11 and its related components. The protective cover 10 facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the filter box 11 and its internal filter material, thereby improving the maintainability of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs and time. The filter box 11 effectively removes solid impurities in the air, such as dust, particulate matter, etc., protects the normal operation of subsequent processing equipment, and improves the purity of the final product.

[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a filter membrane holder 12 is installed on the top of the protective cover 10, and the filter membrane holder 12 is located in the shell 9.

[0026] In this embodiment, the membrane holder 12 serves as a supporting structure for the polymer film, ensuring that the film can be stably fixed on the filtration path. With the support of the membrane holder 12, the polymer film can more effectively intercept tiny particles and pollutants in the air, thereby improving the filtration accuracy and efficiency. By utilizing the special properties of the polymer material, oxygen and part of the hydrogen in the air are separated, and the nitrogen purity is increased.
