Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oxygen-generating valves, in particular to a diaphragm-type oxygen-generating valve. Background Art
[0002] Oxygen plays a vital role in numerous fields, including medicine, industry, and scientific research. Molecular sieve oxygen concentrators utilize physical pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology. Their principle involves using an air compressor to force oxygen and nitrogen from the air through a molecular sieve. The molecular sieve's differential adsorption capacity for oxygen and nitrogen in the air separates the two gases, resulting in a high-concentration oxygen. As a key component in oxygen concentrators, the performance and quality of the oxygen concentrator valve directly impact the efficiency and stability of oxygen production.
[0003] For example, Patent No. CN220351725U discloses a silent oxygen generator valve. The other end of the valve stem assembly is fixedly connected to a piston holder body. The piston holder body is installed in the internal hole of the valve body. The piston holder body has an O-ring inserted into the mouth groove of the piston holder body. The piston holder body contains a piston body and a Y-ring. The Y-ring is inserted into the piston body, and the piston body abuts one end of the valve stem assembly. In this structure, the valve stem assembly is driven by the piston, which has poor anti-fouling ability and is prone to jamming when dirty, resulting in a short service life. Utility Model Content

[0029] The following describes the technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0030] See Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides a diaphragm oxygen-generating valve, comprising a valve body 1 and a left valve stem assembly 2 and a right valve stem assembly 3 slidably mounted in the valve body 1. The left valve stem assembly 2 and the right valve stem assembly 3 are arranged in parallel, and a cavity is provided in the valve body 1 for the left valve stem assembly 2 and the right valve stem assembly 3 to slide.
[0031] See Figure 1The left valve stem assembly 2 has a left diaphragm 4 mounted on its upper end. The left diaphragm 4 can be made of rubber and has a certain degree of deformability. A left gland 5 is mounted on the upper side of the valve body 1. The left gland 5 has an annular flange facing the left diaphragm 4. The annular flange of the left gland 5 presses against the outer edge of the left diaphragm 4, thereby securing the left diaphragm 4 between the gland 5 and the valve body 1. A left control chamber 401 is formed between the left gland 5 and the left diaphragm 4. The valve body 1 has a left micro-solenoid valve 6 mounted on its upper end, communicating with the left control chamber 401. The left micro-solenoid valve 6 is conventional and will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The right valve stem assembly 3 has a right diaphragm 7 mounted on its upper end. A right gland 8 is mounted on the valve body 1. The right gland 8 has an annular flange facing the right diaphragm 7. The annular flange of the right gland 8 presses against the outer edge of the right diaphragm 7, thereby securing the right diaphragm 7 between the gland 8 and the valve body 1. A right control chamber 701 is formed between the right gland 8 and the right diaphragm 7. A right micro-solenoid valve 9, communicating with the right control chamber 701, is mounted on the valve body 1. The right micro-solenoid valve 9 is conventional and will not be described in detail in this embodiment. This structure, which utilizes a diaphragm-type drive mechanism instead of a traditional piston-type mechanism, enhances the oxygen valve's anti-fouling capabilities, resists jamming, and effectively extends its service life.
[0032] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a base plate 10 is fixed to the bottom of the valve body 1. A left air inlet chamber 101 and a right air inlet chamber 102 are formed between the base plate 10 and the valve body 1. The left air inlet chamber 101 corresponds to the left valve stem assembly 2, and the right air inlet chamber 102 corresponds to the right valve stem assembly 3. A P port is provided on the valve body 1, connecting the left air inlet chamber 101 and the right air inlet chamber 102, respectively. For convenient control, the P port connects the left micro-solenoid valve 6 and the right micro-solenoid valve 9 through a channel inside the valve body. A left exhaust chamber 103 is formed between the left diaphragm 4 and the valve body 1, and a right exhaust chamber 104 is formed between the right diaphragm 7 and the valve body 1. The valve body 1 is provided with an R port, connecting the left exhaust chamber 103 and the right exhaust chamber 104, respectively.
[0033] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, to simplify the structure, the left valve stem assembly 2 and the right valve stem assembly 3 have the same structure. Both include a slidable movable rod 21, a diaphragm seat 22 fixed to the upper end of the movable rod 21, and sealing gaskets 23 respectively mounted on the upper and lower sides of the movable rod 21. The left and right diaphragms are mounted on the corresponding diaphragm seats 22. The valve body 1 is provided with port A and port B. Port A is located between the two sealing gaskets 23 of the left valve stem assembly 2, and port B is located between the two sealing gaskets 23 of the right valve stem assembly 3.
[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a first spring 11 is installed between the left valve stem assembly 2 and the base plate 10, which constantly forces the left valve stem assembly 2 to move upward. A second spring 12 is installed between the right valve stem assembly 3 and the base plate 10, which constantly forces the right valve stem assembly 3 to move upward. Under normal conditions, the left and right micro-solenoid valves 6 and 9 are de-energized. Under the action of the first and second springs 11 and 12, both the left and right valve stem assemblies 2 and 3 are in their upper limit positions. At this point, ports A and B are connected to port R, respectively, and port P is isolated from ports A and B.
[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first sealing ring 13 is installed between the base plate 10 and the valve body 1. A top cover 14 is fixed to the upper end of the valve body 1. Second sealing rings 15 are installed between the top cover 14 and the left gland 5 and between the top cover 14 and the right gland 8, respectively. The addition of the first sealing ring 13 and the second sealing ring 15 helps ensure a tight seal.
[0036] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, in order to simplify the structure, the left diaphragm 4 and the right diaphragm 7 have the same structure, the left pressure cover 5 and the right pressure cover 8 have the same structure, and the left micro solenoid valve 6 and the right micro solenoid valve 9 have the same structure.
[0037] The use process of this oxygen valve is as follows:
[0038] When in use, the P port of the oxygen valve is connected to the gas source, the AB port is connected to the molecular sieve AB respectively, and the R port is connected to the equipment exhaust system. Figure 4 When the left micro solenoid valve 6 is powered off and the right micro solenoid valve 9 is powered on, the left valve stem assembly 2 is in the upper limit position under the action of the first spring 11. At this time, PA is closed and AR is opened; when the right micro solenoid valve 9 is powered on, the gas at the P port directly enters the right control chamber 701, thereby causing the right valve stem assembly 3 to overcome the spring force of the second spring 12 and move downward. At this time, PB is open, and the gas at the P port directly enters the B cylinder molecular sieve, and BR is closed; when AR is opened, the nitrogen and other gases in the molecular sieve A are discharged from the R port through the exhaust muffler.
[0039] See Figure 5 When the left micro solenoid valve 6 is energized and the right micro solenoid valve 9 is de-energized, the right valve stem assembly 3 is in the upper limit position under the action of the second spring 12. At this time, PB is closed and BR is opened; when the left micro solenoid valve 6 is energized, the gas at the P port directly enters the left control chamber 401, thereby causing the left valve stem assembly 2 to overcome the spring force of the first spring 11 and move downward. At this time, PA is open, and the gas at the P port directly enters the A cylinder molecular sieve, and AR is closed; when BR is opened, the nitrogen and other gases in the molecular sieve B are discharged from the R port through the exhaust muffler.
