Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of oxygen subsystems of aircraft systems and relates to an oxygen monitor supporting self-detection of an oxygen partial pressure sensor. Background Art

[0002] The oxygen monitor is a component of the oxygen concentrator and is used to detect the oxygen partial pressure during the oxygen production process of the oxygen concentrator. The high-concentration oxygen generated in the oxygen concentrator's oxygen production process is introduced into the oxygen monitor to detect the oxygen partial pressure in the gas. Therefore, when the oxygen monitor detects high-concentration gas, there are certain requirements for the accuracy of the oxygen partial pressure sensor inside the oxygen monitor. Once the detection error of the oxygen partial pressure sensor deviates too much, the detection results of the oxygen monitor will be inaccurate, resulting in some misjudgments. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to propose an oxygen monitor with oxygen partial pressure sensor self-detection technology, add a detection air path on the structural parts, so that the product can realize in-situ oxygen partial pressure sensor accuracy detection on the aircraft, ensure that the oxygen partial pressure sensors are all qualified products during the flight, and detect the oxygen partial pressure sensors outside the product's regular inspection cycle.

[0005] The inlet of the self-detection gas circuit is connected to the compressed air pipeline on the aircraft, the outlet of the self-detection gas circuit is connected to the oxygen partial pressure sensor through the first inlet of the solenoid valve, and the second inlet of the solenoid valve receives the concentrated product gas;

[0006] The control unit is connected to the solenoid valve and is used to open the first inlet of the solenoid valve and close the second inlet of the solenoid valve when self-testing is required, connect the on-board compressed air pipeline with the oxygen partial pressure sensor, and perform self-testing; when self-testing is not required, close the first inlet of the solenoid valve and open the second inlet of the solenoid valve.

[0007] Optionally, the control unit is further connected to an oxygen partial pressure sensor;

[0008] The control unit is specifically used to obtain the oxygen partial pressure detection result of the oxygen partial pressure sensor on the compressed air pipeline on the aircraft when self-test is required, compare the oxygen partial pressure detection result with the preset threshold range, and determine whether the self-test is passed.
