[0037] The utility model is provided with an air duct and a mounting hole connected to the air duct on the base, and the mounting hole is connected to the outlet end of the compressor. A one-way valve is provided in the air duct, and the one-way valve is used to guide the air duct inlet end toward the outlet end of the air duct. A pressure detection component is also provided between the one-way valve and the air duct inlet end, and the pressure detection component is connected to the compressor signal to send out a pressure control signal to control the start and stop of the compressor. When the air source connected to the inlet end of the air duct is sufficient to meet the demand of the outlet end of the air duct, the compressor does not work.

[0038] Example 1
[0039] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, a gas path switching device 100 is provided, comprising:
[0040] Compressor 200, compressor 200 is connected to general gas equipment;
[0041] The base 101 is provided with an air passage 1011 and a mounting hole 1012. The mounting hole 1012 is connected to the air passage 1011. The inlet end of the air passage 1011 is connected to an air source, and the outlet end of the air passage 1011 is connected to a general air-conditioning device.
[0042] One-way valve 103, the one-way valve 103 is provided in the airway 1011; the one-way valve 103 is used to conduct the direction from the inlet end of the airway 1011 to the outlet end of the airway 1011, and to block the direction from the outlet end of the airway 1011 to the inlet end of the airway 1011; and
[0043] The pressure detecting component 104 is installed in the mounting hole 1012 and is placed between the one-way valve 103 and the inlet end of the air duct 1011; the pressure detecting component 104 is connected to the compressor 102 signal, and the pressure detecting component 104 sends a pressure signal to control the start and stop of the compressor 102.
[0044] An air channel 1011 is provided on the base 101. The air channel 1011 runs through the base 101. One end of the air channel 1011 is an inlet end for connecting to an air source, and the other end of the air channel 1011 is an outlet end for connecting to a gas terminal. A one-way valve 103 is provided in the air channel 1011. The inlet end of the one-way valve 103 faces the inlet end of the air channel 1011, and the outlet end of the one-way valve 103 faces the outlet end of the air channel 1011. Since the medium in the one-way valve 103 can only flow from the inlet end to the outlet end, the gas in the air channel 1011 can only flow from the inlet end of the air channel 1011 to the outlet end of the air channel 1011 through the one-way valve 103, and reverse gas flow is impossible.
[0045] The base 101 is also provided with a mounting hole 1012, which is connected to the air passage 1011, with the wall of the mounting hole 1012 intersecting with the inner wall of the air passage 1011. A pressure sensor 104 is installed in the mounting hole 1012, positioned between the one-way valve 103 and the inlet of the air passage 1011, and is used to monitor the pressure value of the air source. Specifically, a value can be preset for the pressure sensor. If the monitored pressure is higher than the preset value, a first signal is issued. If the monitored pressure is higher than the preset value, a second signal is issued, and the first and second signals are different.
[0046] Compressor 200 is a driven fluid machine that boosts low-pressure gas to high-pressure gas. It draws low-pressure gas from the intake port, compresses it through a motor-driven piston, and then discharges high-pressure gas from the outlet port. Compressor 200 is connected to gas-consuming equipment and is signal-connected to pressure sensor 104. Pressure sensor 104 issues a pressure control signal to control the start and stop of compressor 200. Specifically, when compressor 200 receives a first signal from pressure sensor 104, it stops. When compressor 200 receives a second signal from pressure sensor 104, it starts.
[0047] In this embodiment, the base 101 is provided with an air passage 1011 and a mounting hole 1012 connected to the air passage 1011. The mounting hole 1012 is connected to the outlet of the compressor 200. A one-way valve 103 is provided in the air passage 1011. The one-way valve 103 is used to direct the flow of air from the inlet of the air passage 1011 to the outlet of the air passage 1011. A pressure detector 104 is also provided between the one-way valve 103 and the inlet of the air passage 1011. The pressure detector 104 is connected to the compressor 200 and generates a pressure control signal to start and stop the compressor 200. When the air source connected to the inlet of the air passage 1011 is sufficient to meet the demand of the outlet of the air passage 1011, the compressor 200 does not operate. When the air source connected to the inlet of the air passage 1011 is too low to meet the demand, the pressure detector 104 generates a control signal to start the compressor 200, thereby ensuring the gas demand of the gas-consuming equipment at the outlet of the air passage 1011 and preventing gas waste.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] Based on the first embodiment, the pressure detection element 104 is used to send a first pressure signal, the compressor 200 stops working according to the first pressure signal, and the one-way valve 103 opens the air channel 1011 from the inlet end of the air channel 1011 to the outlet end of the air channel 1011.
[0050] Specifically, pressure detection element 104 is preset with a pressure threshold. When the pressure detected by pressure detection element 104 exceeds the pressure threshold, pressure detection element 104 sends a first pressure signal to compressor 200. Upon receiving the first pressure signal, compressor 200 shuts down. If compressor 200 was previously operating, it shuts down. If compressor 200 was previously shut down, it remains shut down. At this point, only the air source connected to the inlet of air passage 1011 is supplying air.
[0051] Example 3
[0052] On the basis of the second embodiment, the pressure detecting element 104 is further configured to send a second pressure signal, and the compressor 200 starts to work according to the second pressure signal.
[0053] Specifically, when the pressure detected by the pressure detection element 104 is lower than the pressure threshold, the air source connected to the inlet of the air passage 1011 cannot meet the gas demand of the general gas equipment connected to the outlet of the air passage 1011. The pressure detection element 104 sends a second pressure signal to the compressor 200. The compressor 200 receives the second pressure signal and starts. If the compressor 200 was previously in an operating state, the compressor 200 remains in an operating state; if the compressor 200 was previously in a shutdown state, the compressor 200 starts to operate. At this time, the air source connected to the inlet of the air passage 1011 and the mounting hole 1012 connected to the compressor 200 simultaneously supply air. The one-way valve 103 blocks the flow of gas from the outlet of the air passage 1011 to the inlet of the air passage, preventing the high-pressure gas provided by the compressor 200 from being lost from the inlet of the air passage through the air passage 1011.
[0054] It can be understood that the first pressure signal and the second pressure signal are distinguished to facilitate the identification of the compressor 200 .
[0055] Example 4
[0056] Based on the third embodiment, the pressure detected when the pressure detecting element 104 sends the first pressure signal is greater than the pressure detected when the pressure detecting element 104 sends the second pressure signal.
[0057] The air source connected to the inlet end of the air duct 1011 and the compressor 200 connected to the mounting hole 1012 both supply air to the gas-using equipment connected to the outlet end of the air duct 1011. The gas pressure required by the gas-using equipment must reach a predetermined value. If it cannot be reached, the gas-using equipment cannot be used normally.
[0058] The pressure detection element 104 is arranged in the air passage 1011, and is placed between the one-way valve 103 and the inlet end of the air passage 1011, and is used to detect the air pressure of the air source connected to the inlet end of the air passage 1011. When the air pressure of the air source is lower than a certain value, it cannot meet the normal use of the gas-using equipment. The first pressure signal causes the compressor 200 to shut down, and the gas-using equipment needs to rely solely on the air source for gas supply. The second pressure signal causes the compressor 200 to work, and the compressor 200 and the air source together supply gas to the gas-using equipment. Therefore, the pressure detected when the pressure detection element 104 sends the first pressure signal is greater than the pressure detected when the pressure detection element 104 sends the second pressure signal.
[0059] Example 5
[0060] On the basis of any one of the first to fourth embodiments, the base 101 , the one-way valve 103 and the pressure detection component 104 constitute a valve assembly, and the valve assembly is installed on the compressor 200 .
[0061] The one-way valve 103 and the pressure detection component 104 are both placed in the air passage 1011 of the base 101. The base 101, the one-way valve 103 and the pressure detection component 104 form a valve assembly, which has good integration and is easy to use.
[0062] Example 6
[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the first embodiment, the inlet end of the air channel 1011 and the outlet end of the air channel 1011 are arranged on different surfaces of the base 101 .
[0064] The inlet and outlet of air duct 1011 are connected through the inner cavity of air duct 1011. If the inlet and outlet of air duct 1011 are arranged on the same surface, the inner cavity of air duct 1011 needs to form a 180° turn, which is large and is not conducive to the flow of gas. Placing the inlet and outlet of air duct 1011 on different surfaces of base 101 reduces the turning angle of the inner cavity of air duct 1011 and facilitates the flow of gas within air duct 1011.
[0065] Example 7
[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the first embodiment, the inlet end of the air channel 1011 , the outlet end of the air channel 1011 and the mounting hole 1012 are all provided on different surfaces of the base 101 .
[0067] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are equivalent to those of the sixth embodiment, and are not described in detail here.

[0070] A first connector 105 is provided at the inlet of the air passage 1011. One end of the first connector 105 is sealedly connected to the base 101. Specifically, a sealing ring 102 may be provided between the first connector 105 and the base 101 to prevent air leakage at the connection between the first mounting interface and the base 101. The other end of the first connector 105 is adapted to the connector of the air source, facilitating connection and removal to the air source.
[0071] A second connector 106 is provided at the outlet end of the air channel 1011. One end of the second connector 106 is sealedly connected to the base 101 to prevent air leakage at the connection between the second mounting interface and the base 101. The other end of the second connector 106 is adapted to the connector of the gas-consuming device, making it easy to connect or disconnect the device.
