Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oxygen generation monitoring technology, and in particular to an automatic monitoring and control system for the operating status of oxygen generation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Oxygen generating equipment generates heat during operation. If equipment malfunctions, overload, or poor heat dissipation occurs, the temperature may rise abnormally. Without a temperature monitoring system, this potential danger cannot be detected in time, potentially damaging critical components, affecting oxygen production efficiency and quality, and even shortening the equipment's lifespan. Furthermore, since oxygen generating equipment involves the production and transportation of oxygen, which is combustible, a fire could have disastrous consequences. A temperature and fire monitoring system can issue an alarm in the early stages of an abnormal temperature rise, allowing staff to take timely measures, such as stopping the machine for inspection and troubleshooting, to prevent fires. It provides a solid line of defense for the safe and stable operation of oxygen generating equipment, effectively reducing fire risks and ensuring the safety of equipment, personnel, and the surrounding environment.

[0003] The existing technology has at least the following problems:

[0004] 1. Oxygen generating equipment may generate abnormally high temperatures during operation for various reasons that may not be detected in time. For example, prolonged operation of the compressor may cause local overheating. If abnormal temperatures are not detected in time, it may damage key components of the equipment, shorten the service life of the equipment, and increase maintenance costs. At the same time, the lack of smoke monitoring means that it is impossible to respond in time when potential fire hazards appear in the equipment. For example, slight smoke caused by electrical faults may gradually develop into a serious fire. Without early warning, the best time for fire extinguishing and rescue will be missed.

[0005] 2. The lack of a fire-fighting organization poses a significant risk to the operation of oxygen-generating equipment. When an accident occurs and a fire breaks out in the oxygen-generating equipment, the absence of a fire-fighting organization will prevent the fire from being controlled quickly, and the fire may spread rapidly. This could not only completely destroy the oxygen-generating equipment and cause significant economic losses, but also endanger the surrounding environment and personnel safety. Moreover, oxygen-generating equipment is usually in a continuous operating state. Once a fire breaks out, without the timely intervention of a fire-fighting organization, the fire may expand in a short period of time, increasing the difficulty of firefighting. In addition, without a fire-fighting organization, even if a fire hazard is discovered, one can only rely on external rescue forces, which will lead to a prolonged response time.

[0006] 3. When equipment malfunctions, maintenance personnel often struggle to quickly and accurately pinpoint the problem. The lack of convenient access and clear fault indications can lead to significant time commitments, prolonging downtime, reducing production efficiency, and potentially disrupting oxygen-dependent operations. Furthermore, the absence of easily accessible maintenance facilities increases the difficulty and complexity of repairs, requiring personnel to disassemble numerous components to reach the faulty area. This not only increases workload but can also cause secondary damage during disassembly and reassembly. Additionally, the lack of convenient access can increase maintenance costs, necessitating the use of specialized tools and equipment or the hiring of professional technicians, all of which increase expenses. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic monitoring and control system for the operating status of oxygen generators. During operation, oxygen generators may generate abnormally high temperatures for various reasons that go undetected. For example, prolonged compressor operation may cause localized overheating. Failure to detect temperature anomalies in time can damage critical components, shorten equipment lifespan, and increase maintenance costs. Furthermore, the lack of smoke monitoring means an inability to respond promptly to potential fire hazards, missing optimal firefighting and rescue opportunities. Oxygen generators lacking fire suppression mechanisms pose significant risks. If an accidental fire occurs, the absence of a fire suppression system will prevent rapid fire control, allowing the fire to spread rapidly. This could not only completely destroy the oxygen generator and cause substantial economic losses but also endanger the surrounding environment and personnel safety. Moreover, since oxygen generators are typically in continuous operation, without timely intervention from a fire suppression system, the fire may expand rapidly, increasing the difficulty of extinguishing it. Additionally, even if a fire hazard is detected, external rescue forces must be relied upon, leading to prolonged response times.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an automatic monitoring and control system for the operating status of an oxygen generator, comprising: a placement rack and a ventilation hole, characterized in that the inner surface of the placement rack is provided with a ventilation hole, the inner surface of the placement rack is provided with a monitoring mechanism, and the inner surface of the placement rack is provided with a maintenance mechanism.

[0009] In addition, a nozzle is connected to one end of the connecting pipe.

[0010] In addition, an alarm is electrically connected to the top of the controller.

[0011] In addition, the outer surface of the connecting pipe extends through the mounting bracket to connect the nozzle.

[0012] In addition, the convenient repair mechanism includes: a placement plate, a placement groove, a locking block, a spring, a pressing block, a locking groove, a limiting groove, and a through groove. The inner surface of the placement frame is provided with a placement plate, the inner surface of the placement frame is provided with a placement groove, the inner surface of the placement frame is installed with a locking block, the inner surface of the placement groove is fixedly connected with a spring, one end of the spring is connected with a pressing block, the two sides of the placement plate are provided with locking grooves, the two sides of the placement plate are provided with limiting grooves, and one side of the locking block is provided with a through groove.

[0013] In addition, a locking block is placed inside the limiting groove.

[0014] In addition, the inner spring of the placement slot is connected to the pressing block to form a telescopic structure.

[0015] Compared to existing technologies, this invention's smoke detector constantly monitors the air conditions around the oxygen generator, ensuring timely detection of potential fire hazards. Its highly sensitive monitoring function can quickly detect smoke as soon as it appears and send a signal to the controller, greatly improving the response speed to dangerous situations. Once smoke is detected, the controller activates an alarm, emitting a loud sound to promptly alert staff to potential abnormalities in the oxygen generator, enabling them to take swift action and prevent further escalation of the accident. Simultaneously, the controller receives instructions through a signal receiver and controls the solenoid valve to open, allowing the fire extinguishing powder in the dry powder bottle to flow rapidly to the nozzle. The nozzle then evenly sprays the powder onto the potential fire area, effectively preventing the spread of fire. This automatic fire extinguishing function... It can function in the early stages of a fire, greatly reducing the losses caused by the fire. The mounting plate provides a stable installation position for electronic devices such as controllers and signal receivers, ensuring that these critical devices can work normally. The stable installation position can reduce the possibility of equipment failure due to vibration or other external factors, improving the reliability of the system. In addition, by pressing the pressing block, the spring enters the placement groove, and then the limiting groove is aligned with the locking block and the placement plate. When the locking groove and the placement groove are in position, the spring pushes the pressing block out through the limiting groove and completes the limiting and fixing of the pressing block and the placement plate in the locking groove. This design makes the installation and removal of the placement plate more convenient and quick, facilitating the maintenance and repair of related equipment. At the same time, the stable fixing method also ensures the stability of the equipment during operation and reduces the probability of failure due to loosening. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the various embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been provided in the various embodiments of this utility model to facilitate a better understanding of this application. However, the technical solutions claimed in the claims of this application can be implemented even without these technical details and with various variations and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0025] The first embodiment of this utility model relates to an automatic monitoring and control system for the operating status of an oxygen generator. For example... Figure 1-6 As shown.

[0026] It includes: a placement rack 1 and a ventilation hole 2, characterized in that a ventilation hole 2 is provided through the inner surface of the placement rack 1, a monitoring mechanism 3 is provided on both sides of the placement rack 1, and a maintenance mechanism 4 is provided on the inner surface of the placement rack 1.

[0027] The monitoring mechanism 3 includes: a mounting bracket 301, a smoke detector 302, a dry powder bottle 303, a connecting pipe 304, a solenoid valve 305, an alarm 306, a mounting plate 307, a controller 308, a signal receiver 309, and a nozzle 310. The mounting bracket 301 is mounted on one side surface of the mounting bracket 1. The smoke detector 302 is installed on the inner surface of the mounting bracket 1. The dry powder bottle 303 is installed on the inner surface of the mounting bracket 301. The connecting pipe 304 is connected to the upper surface of the dry powder bottle 303. The solenoid valve 305 is sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 304. The alarm 306 is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting bracket 1. The mounting plate 307 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the mounting bracket 301. The controller 308 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the mounting plate 307. The signal receiver 309 is electrically connected to the upper part of the controller 308.

[0028] The installation of mounting bracket 301, smoke detector 302, dry powder bottle 303, connecting pipe 304, solenoid valve 305, alarm 306, mounting plate 307, controller 308, signal receiver 309, and nozzle 310 enhances monitoring effectiveness. Smoke detector 302 constantly monitors the air conditions around the oxygen generator. Upon detecting smoke, it immediately sends a signal to controller 308. Upon receiving the smoke signal, controller 308 activates alarm 306, emitting a loud alarm sound to alert staff that the oxygen generator may be in use. In case of abnormal situations, on the other hand, the controller 308 receives instructions through the signal receiver 309 and controls the solenoid valve 305 to open. The dry powder bottle 303 stores fire extinguishing dry powder. When the solenoid valve 305 is opened, the dry powder flows rapidly to the nozzle 310 under pressure through the connecting pipe. The nozzle 310 sprays the dry powder evenly to the area of ​​the oxygen generating equipment where a fire may occur, in order to prevent the spread of the fire. The mounting plate 307 provides a stable mounting position for electronic equipment such as the controller 308 and the signal receiver 309, ensuring that they can work normally.

[0029] Furthermore, a nozzle 310 is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 304, allowing dry powder to be sprayed out.

[0030] Furthermore, an alarm 306 is electrically connected to the top of the controller 308, which can be set to sound an alarm in the event of a high-temperature fire.

[0031] Furthermore, the outer surface of the connecting pipe 304 penetrates the placement frame 1 to connect the nozzle 310, and the dry powder can be conveyed through the setting of the connecting pipe 304.

[0032] Furthermore, the convenient repair mechanism 4 includes: a placement plate 401, a placement groove 402, a locking block 403, a spring 404, a pressing block 405, a slot 406, a limiting groove 407, and a through groove 408. The placement plate 401 is provided on the inner surface of the placement frame 1, the placement groove 402 is formed on the inner surface of the placement frame 1, the locking block 403 is installed on the inner surface of the placement frame 1, the spring 404 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the placement groove 402, the pressing block 405 is connected to one end of the spring 404, the slots 406 are formed on both sides of the placement plate 401, the limiting grooves 407 are formed on both sides of the placement plate 401, and the through groove 408 is formed on one side of the locking block 403. The arrangement of the placement plate 401, placement groove 402, locking block 403, spring 404, pressing block 405, locking groove 406, limiting groove 407, and through groove 408 makes maintenance more convenient. The pressing block 405 is pressed, which then squeezes the spring 404 into the placement groove 402. The limiting groove 407 is then aligned with the locking block 403. The placement plate 401 is then placed into the locking block 403. When the locking groove 406 matches the position of the placement groove 402, the spring 404 pushes the pressing block 405 through the limiting groove 407 into the locking groove 406, thus completing the limiting and fixing of the pressing block 405 and the placement plate 401.

[0033] Furthermore, a locking block 403 is placed inside the limiting groove 407, which improves the fixing effect.

[0034] Furthermore, the inner spring 404 of the placement slot 402 is connected to the pressing block 405 to form a telescopic structure. The spring 404 allows the pressing block 405 to pop out after being pressed.

[0035] The second embodiment of this utility model relates to an automatic monitoring and control system for the operating status of an oxygen generator. The second embodiment is largely the same as the first embodiment, with the main difference being that: in the first embodiment, no time or dosage was added, while in the second embodiment of this utility model, time and dosage are added. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will understand that the smoke detector 302 continuously monitors the air quality around the oxygen generator, and the system has set trigger thresholds for smoke and temperature. When the detected smoke concentration exceeds the preset threshold of 0.1 mg / m³... 3When the temperature reaches a dangerous level of 70°C, the smoke detector 302 will immediately send an alarm signal to the controller 308. This monitoring system ensures a timely response, and the reaction time of the trigger signal should not exceed 5 seconds to ensure rapid handling of potential fire risks. After receiving the smoke signal, the controller 308 first activates the alarm 306, emitting a loud alarm sound to alert staff that the oxygen generating equipment may be malfunctioning. The loudness of the alarm sound should reach at least 85dB to ensure that it can be heard even in noisy environments. At the same time, the controller 308 receives further instructions through the signal receiver 309 and controls the opening of the solenoid valve 305. After the solenoid valve 305 is opened, the fire extinguishing dry powder in the dry powder bottle 303 will flow rapidly through the connecting pipe to the nozzle 310 under pressure. The nozzle 310 will evenly spray the dry powder to the area where a fire may occur to suppress the spread of the fire. In the system design, the amount of dry powder used should be 2 catties for each fire extinguishing operation to ensure that it is sufficient to cover the fire source and effectively extinguish the flames.

[0036] The third embodiment of this utility model relates to an automatic monitoring and control system for the operating status of oxygen generating equipment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the system includes: a mounting bracket 301, a smoke detector 302, a dry powder bottle 303, a connecting pipe 304, a solenoid valve 305, an alarm 306, a mounting plate 307, a controller 308, a signal receiver 309, and a nozzle 310. The automatic monitoring and control system for the oxygen generator's operating status monitors the air conditions around the equipment in real time through the smoke detector 302 and a temperature sensor. Once the smoke concentration exceeds 0.2 mg / m³, the system will take action. 3 If the temperature reaches 71℃, the system will trigger the alarm 306 within 1-5 seconds to emit an 86dB alarm sound to alert the staff. At the same time, the controller 308 releases the fire extinguishing dry powder in the dry powder bottle 303 through the solenoid valve 305, and the nozzle 310 sprays the dry powder evenly onto the fire source area. The amount of dry powder used is set to 1 jin to ensure effective extinguishing of the flames. The mounting plate 307 provides stable support for key electronic equipment.

[0037] The fourth embodiment of this utility model relates to an automatic monitoring and control system for the operating status of an oxygen generator. The fourth embodiment is largely the same as the third embodiment, with the main difference being that the triggering requirements differ in the third embodiment. In this fourth embodiment, the automatic monitoring and control system for the operating status of the oxygen generator utilizes a smoke detector 302 and a temperature sensor to monitor the environment around the equipment in real time. If the smoke concentration exceeds 0.3 mg / m³... 3 If the temperature reaches 75°C, the system will trigger the alarm 306 within 1-5 seconds, emitting an alarm sound of at least 83dB to alert personnel. At the same time, the controller 308 will release 1.5 kg of fire extinguishing dry powder through the solenoid valve 305, which will be evenly sprayed from the dry powder bottle 303 to the fire source area through the nozzle 310.

[0038] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific examples of implementing the present invention, and in practical applications, various changes can be made to them in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
