This way has no active power on one hand, and the discharge is not complete, which can easily lead to insufficient nitrogen purity. On the other hand, it is easy to cause oxygen leakage and cause poisoning of workshop workers. Therefore, the present application discloses a novel recoverable oxygen-enriched air separation equipment, which comprises an oxygen-enriched storage tank 3, a vacuum pump 2, a recovery pipeline 1, an adsorption tower 5 and a control system 4. The oxygen-enriched storage tank 3 is connected to one end of the recovery pipeline 1, the other end of the recovery pipeline 1 is in communication with an oxygen-enriched separation zone between a pair of adsorption towers 5, the vacuum pump 2 is connected to the recovery pipeline 1 and close to the oxygen-enriched storage tank 3, and the pair of adsorption towers 5 are connected by an air inlet pipe 55. An air inlet air compression pipe 52 is connected between the air inlet pipes 55. The external air pump compresses air from the air inlet air compression pipe 52 into the pair of adsorption towers 5. The pair of adsorption towers 5 perform pressure swing adsorption under the action of pressure, and separate oxygen and nitrogen by using molecular sieve. A discharge pipe 51 is connected between the pair of adsorption towers 5, and a nitrogen outlet 53 is connected to the discharge pipe 51 for discharging nitrogen. At this time, oxygen is enriched in the adsorption tower 5, and when the oxygen concentration is high, it enters the recovery pipeline 1. A three-way joint 11 is arranged on the side of the vacuum pump 2 in the recovery pipeline 1. A contact balance detector 12 on the three-way joint 11 detects the pressure of the oxygen-enriched air. When the oxygen-enriched air reaches a certain degree, the contact balance detector 12 controls the circuit joint of the control system 4. An oxygen-enriched discharge pipe 54 is connected between the pair of adsorption towers 5, and the oxygen-enriched discharge pipe 54 is connected to the recovery pipeline 1. The oxygen-enriched air is drawn into the oxygen-enriched storage tank 3 from the oxygen-enriched discharge pipe 54 by the vacuum pump 2 on the recovery pipeline 1, and is recovered and utilized.
