DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to facilitate understanding of the utility model, the utility model is further described below in combination with the drawings.

[0030] In the description of the utility model, it is to be explained that the terms "front", "back", "left", "right", "up", "down", "inner" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description, and are not indicative or suggestive of the devices or components indicated must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore can not be understood as limiting the utility model.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the four-cylinder compressor disclosed by the utility model is composed of a main body frame 100, a rotating drive mechanism and a cylinder mechanism. The main body frame 100 is the basic mounting piece of the entire four-cylinder compressor, and the rotating drive mechanism and the cylinder mechanism are both mounted on the main body frame 100. The rotating drive mechanism is the driving mechanism of the compression work, and the rotating drive mechanism drives the piston assembly 210 in the cylinder unit 200 to reciprocate in the cylinder unit 200 by eccentric rotation of the eccentric wheel 300, so as to realize the compression of the gas in the compression chamber of the cylinder unit 200. The cylinder mechanism realizes the suction and compression of the gas through the four cylinder units 200, so as to realize the suction and discharge of the nitrogen in the molecular sieve in the compressor and the suction of the external air.

[0032] Specifically, as Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5As shown, the cylinder mechanism in the utility model is composed of four cylinder units 200, the four cylinder units 200 are oppositely arranged in pairs, and the four cylinder units are arranged at the four sides of the main frame 100 with a 90° distribution; wherein two oppositely arranged cylinder units 200 are positive pressure cylinders 201, and the other two oppositely arranged cylinder units 200 are negative pressure cylinders 202; the positive pressure cylinder 201 is used for extracting external air for compression and conveying compressed air to the molecular sieve of the oxygen generator, and the negative pressure cylinder 202 is used for extracting the nitrogen gas adsorbed by the molecular sieve in the oxygen generator and discharging to the outside. The structure and working principle of the four cylinder units 200 are the same, the movable piston assembly 210 is arranged in the cylinder unit 200 to form a compression chamber, and the rotating driving mechanism drives the piston assembly 210 in each cylinder unit 200 to reciprocate through the eccentric wheel 300. In order to simplify the internal structure and improve the stability of gas flow, the flow paths corresponding to the positive pressure cylinder 201 and the negative pressure cylinder 202 are improved in the utility model, four flow paths are arranged in the utility model, which are respectively a first flow path 410 for guiding gas into the compression chamber of the two positive pressure cylinders 201, a second flow path 420 for guiding gas out of the compression chamber of the two positive pressure cylinders 201, a third flow path 430 for guiding gas into the compression chamber of the two negative pressure cylinders 202, and a fourth flow path 440 for guiding gas out of the compression chamber of the two negative pressure cylinders 202; that is, the first flow path 410 and the third flow path 430 are the gas inlet flow paths for guiding gas into the compression chamber, and the second flow path 420 and the fourth flow path 440 are the gas outlet flow paths for guiding gas out of the compression chamber. The first flow path 410 and the second flow path 420 are communicated through the compression chamber of the positive pressure cylinder 201, and the third flow path 430 and the fourth flow path 440 are communicated through the compression chamber of the negative pressure cylinder 202. The first flow path 410 is a gas flow path for extracting external air, the positive pressure cylinder 201 works to suck external air into the first flow path 410, so that the external air flows into the compression chamber of the two positive pressure cylinders 201 through the first flow path 410, and then the air enters the second flow path 420 through the compression work of the two positive pressure cylinders 201, and then is conveyed to the molecular sieve of the oxygen generator through the second flow path 420. The third flow path is a gas flow path for extracting the nitrogen gas adsorbed by the molecular sieve, the negative pressure cylinder 202 works to suck the nitrogen gas adsorbed by the molecular sieve into the third flow path 430, so that the nitrogen gas flows into the compression chamber of the two negative pressure cylinders 202 through the third flow path 430, and then the nitrogen gas enters the fourth flow path 440 through the compression work of the two negative pressure cylinders 202, and then is discharged to the outside of the compressor through the fourth flow path 440.

[0033] As Figures 3 to 5As shown, the two positive pressure cylinders 201 arranged oppositely in the utility model alternately compress air, when one of the positive pressure cylinders 201 adsorbs low-pressure air in the first flow path 410, the other positive pressure cylinder 201 compresses the low-pressure air having been sucked into the compression chamber, and after the low-pressure air is compressed into high-pressure air, the high-pressure air is discharged through the second flow path 420, thereby continuously supplying high-pressure air to the molecular sieve through the alternate operation of the two positive pressure cylinders 201. Similarly, the two negative pressure cylinders 202 arranged oppositely in the utility model alternately compress nitrogen, when one of the negative pressure cylinders 202 adsorbs low-pressure nitrogen in the third flow path 430, the other negative pressure cylinder 202 compresses the low-pressure nitrogen having been sucked into the compression chamber, and after the low-pressure nitrogen is compressed into high-pressure nitrogen, the high-pressure nitrogen is discharged through the fourth flow path 440, thereby continuously discharging the nitrogen adsorbed by the molecular sieve through the alternate operation of the two negative pressure cylinders 202.

[0034] The four-cylinder compressor disclosed in the utility model is used in an oxygen generator and combines the working mode of two molecular sieves alternately generating oxygen in the oxygen generator, continuously supplies high-pressure air to the molecular sieve currently in the working state through the alternate operation of the two positive pressure cylinders 201, and sucks out the nitrogen in the molecular sieve currently not in the working state through the alternate operation of the two negative pressure cylinders 202. The first flow path 410 is a flow path for low-pressure air inflow, the second flow path 420 is a flow path for high-pressure air to be supplied to the molecular sieve, the third flow path 430 is a flow path for nitrogen in the molecular sieve to flow in, and the fourth flow path 440 is a flow path for high-pressure nitrogen to be discharged, thereby realizing the air inflow and nitrogen discharge of the two molecular sieves in the oxygen generator under the alternate working state, and ensuring that the molecular sieve of the oxygen generator continuously performs efficient oxygen generation work.

[0035] Further, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the utility model also optimizes the arrangement form of four flow paths, makes the first flow path 410 and the second flow path 420 extend on the same plane, the third flow path 430 and the fourth flow path 440 extend on the same plane, and makes the extension plane of the first flow path 410 and the second flow path 420 be parallel to the extension plane of the third flow path 430 and the fourth flow path 440, so as to take the rotation axis of the rotary drive mechanism as the longitudinal reference, then the first flow path 410 and the second flow path 420 are arranged on one transverse plane, the third flow path 430 and the fourth flow path 440 are arranged on another transverse plane, which is equivalent to that the first flow path 410, the second flow path 420, the third flow path 430 and the fourth flow path 440 all extend in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the eccentric wheel 300; the extension plane formed by the first flow path 410 and the second flow path 420 and the extension plane formed by the third flow path 430 and the fourth flow path 440 are arranged in layers on the main frame 100. Through the arrangement of the above flow path structure, the four flow paths in the utility model all extend transversely relative to the rotation axis of the rotary drive mechanism, and there is no flow path structure in the longitudinal direction, so that vertical drilling is not needed during processing, thereby effectively simplifying the flow path structure, reducing the processing difficulty and processing cost of the flow path; and since the flow path structure is relatively simple, the flow path of the gas in each flow path is basically linear flow, so that the gas flow in each flow path is more smooth, and the stability of the gas flow is better.

[0036] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the utility model, four gas ports are arranged to realize the gas exchange between the flow path and the external air and the molecular sieve of the oxygen generator. The four gas ports are the positive pressure air inlet 110 and the positive pressure air outlet 120 arranged at the top of the main frame 100, and the negative pressure air inlet 130 and the negative pressure air outlet 140 arranged at the bottom of the main frame 100.

[0041] In addition, as Figure 4 And Figure 5 As shown, the utility model discloses the gas flow between the chamber on main frame 100 and the air cavity that is formed by cylinder cover plate 240 and cylinder pressing plate 230 is realized through the setting of gas path channel 221. Two gas path channels 221 are fixedly arranged on the outer circumferential surface of cylinder 220, and the two gas path channels 221 are arranged along the axial direction of cylinder 220, and two gas path channels 221 are arranged on each of four cylinder units 200, i.e. a total of eight gas path channels 221 are arranged, and the gas path channel 221 on the two cylinder units 200 that are oppositely arranged corresponds and axially aligns one to one, and the two gas path channels 221 in the same cylinder unit 200 are communicated with the first intake hole 231 and the second exhaust hole 234 on the corresponding cylinder pressing plate 230 respectively and are communicated with the corresponding chamber on main frame 100.

Since the piston assembly 210 reciprocates in the compression chamber, the air flow from the air inlet cavity to the compression chamber will flush the first one-way valve, so that the valve plate of the first one-way valve opens in the direction of the compression chamber, at which time it is easy to collide with the moving piston assembly 210 and produce noise. In order to reduce the noise, as shown, Figure 6 The utility model sets a buffer 214 on the piston assembly 210 skin bowl pressing plate 213, the setting position of the buffer 214 corresponds to the setting position of the first one-way valve, the buffer 214 is made of a material with good elasticity, and a silica gel sheet is preferably used, which is embedded and fixed on the skin bowl pressing plate 213. When the valve plate of the first one-way valve opens, it contacts the buffer 214, which can buffer and reduce the noise of the valve plate of the first one-way valve, thereby suppressing the generation of noise. Since the second one-way valve opens in the direction of the air outlet cavity, it will not collide with the piston assembly 210, so it does not need to be configured with a buffer.

The connection between the rotation shaft 520 and the eccentric wheel 300 can be realized by the circumferential limiting and matching mode, as long as the relative rotation between the rotation shaft 520 and the eccentric wheel 300 does not occur. The rotation shaft 520 and the main body frame 100 can relatively rotate, specifically, the main body frame 100 is fixedly connected with the motor 510 through the lower base 170, the lower bearing 530 is fixedly arranged on the main body frame 100, the lower bearing 530 forms the rotation cooperation with the rotation shaft 520 through the lower fixed sleeve 540 sleeved on the rotation shaft 520; the upper bearing 550 is fixedly arranged on the upper pressing frame cover 150, the upper bearing 550 forms the rotation cooperation with the rotation shaft 520 through the upper fixed sleeve 560 sleeved on the rotation shaft 520.
