Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an oxygen generator molecular sieve structure, and belongs to the technical field of oxygen generator molecular sieve structures. Background Art
[0002] An oxygen concentrator (PSA) is an oxygen production device that uses air as raw material, molecular sieve as adsorbent, and applies the principle of pressure swing adsorption to obtain high-purity oxygen. Due to its simple process flow, high degree of automation, fast gas production, and low energy consumption, it has been widely used in industrial and medical fields.
[0003] Molecular sieve refers to a synthetic hydrated aluminosilicate or natural zeolite with the function of screening molecules. It generates a "surface force" on the solid surface through the molecular attraction. When the fluid flows through, some molecules in the fluid collide with the adsorbent surface due to irregular movement. It is precisely because of this characteristic that it is widely used in oxygen generators.
[0004] The principle of the existing molecular sieve oxygen generator is to adsorb and filter nitrogen in the air to produce oxygen through molecular sieves. Generally, air enters at one end and oxygen exits at the other end. Air passes through the molecular sieve part in a straight line. This structure is relatively narrow and long, and the oxygen exit speed is slow. In addition, the molecular sieve at one end may be saturated while the molecular sieve at the other end may not be fully utilized. Due to the narrow and long space and the fact that the air intake is usually high-pressure airflow, the impact force of the airflow on the molecular sieve particles is uneven. The molecular sieve particles close to the air inlet are easily destroyed by the high-pressure gas, resulting in the inability to achieve its air filtering function.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an oxygen concentrator molecular sieve structure to reduce the overall length of the molecular sieve while also being able to fully filter the air. Summary of the Invention
