DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings.

For ordinary skilled persons in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances. When it is described that a specific device is located between the first device and the second device, there can be an intermediate device between the specific device and the first device or the second device, or there can be no intermediate device.

[0038] All the terms used in the utility model have the same meaning as understood by ordinary skilled persons in the field to which the utility model belongs, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that the terms defined in, for example, a general dictionary should be interpreted to have a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or excessively formalized sense, unless explicitly defined here.

[0039] Techniques, methods and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art can not be discussed in detail, but under appropriate circumstances, the techniques, methods and devices should be considered as part of the specification.

[0040] The utility model provides a kind of lower end cover assembly for oxygen generator on one aspect, referring to Figure 3 Or Figure 4 Oxygen generator 100 includes first molecular sieve barrel 110 and second molecular sieve barrel 120 (i.e. adsorption tower) arranged side by side, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 And Figure 5 Lower end cover assembly 130 includes lower end cover 131 for being connected to the lower end of first molecular sieve barrel 110 and second molecular sieve barrel 120, lower end cover 131 has purge gas channel 1311 and two purge holes 1312 communicated with purge gas channel 1311, two purge holes 1312 are used to be communicated first molecular sieve barrel 110 and second molecular sieve barrel 120 respectively.

[0041] In use, when the first molecular sieve barrel 110 produces oxygen and the second molecular sieve barrel 120 discharges nitrogen, the pressure of the first molecular sieve barrel 110 is higher than that of the second molecular sieve barrel 120, at this time, the gas in the first molecular sieve barrel 110 enters the purge gas channel 1311 through the corresponding purge hole 1312, and then enters the second molecular sieve barrel 120 through another purge hole 1312, thereby realizing the back purging of the second molecular sieve barrel 120 and facilitating the discharge of nitrogen in the second molecular sieve barrel 120. Conversely, when the first molecular sieve barrel 110 discharges nitrogen and the second molecular sieve barrel 120 produces oxygen, the pressure of the second molecular sieve barrel 120 is higher than that of the first molecular sieve barrel 110, at this time, the gas in the second molecular sieve barrel 120 enters the purge gas channel 1311 through the corresponding purge hole 1312, and then enters the first molecular sieve barrel 110 through another purge hole 1312, thereby realizing the back purging of the first molecular sieve barrel 110 and facilitating the discharge of nitrogen in the first molecular sieve barrel 110.

[0042] The lower end cover assembly 130 provided by the utility model can realize the back purging of the first and second molecular sieve barrels by integrating the purge gas channel 1311 and the purge hole 1312 on the lower end cover 131, and compared with the external hose mode adopted by the prior art, the structure can be optimized, the operation can be simplified, and the discharge of nitrogen is more facilitated.

[0043] In some embodiments, the lower end cover assembly 130 can further include two purge components 132 arranged on the communication paths of the two purge holes 1312 and the purge gas channel 1311 respectively. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the hole diameter of the purge hole 1312 can be relatively large due to the presence of the purge component 132. In the embodiment without the purge component 132, the hole diameter of the purge hole 1312 needs to be relatively small to achieve the purging effect.

[0044] The purge component 132 can be any structure capable of increasing the flow rate of the fluid medium and relatively reducing the hydrostatic pressure to generate a pressure difference upstream and downstream of the purge component 132, such as a throttling bridge, a hole plate, etc. Figure 5 As shown, the purge component 132 is a throttling bridge, and the hole diameter of the throttling bridge can be adjusted according to the adsorption parameters of the molecular sieve barrel.

[0045] In the utility model, the purge gas channel 1311 can extend in any form on the lower end cover 131, for example, it can extend on the plane where the lower end cover 131 is located, or it can extend obliquely relative to the plane where the lower end cover is located; it can extend linearly, or it can extend curvilinearly; it can extend inside the lower end cover 131, or it can extend on the surface of the lower end cover 131.

[0046] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2The purge air passage 1311 extends horizontally on the plane of the lower end cover 131. In this case, two purge holes 1312 can be located above the purge air passage 1311, and the purge component 132 can be located on the vertical communication path between the purge holes 1312 and the purge air passage 1311. This allows for full utilization of the space in the lower end cover 131 and optimizes the layout. The two purge holes 1312 can be located at opposite ends of the purge air passage 1311.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the purge airway 1311 is a straight channel, and the lower end cover 131 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape. The purge airway 1311 extends along the length of the lower end cover 131, that is, along the arrangement direction of the first molecular sieve barrel 110 and the second molecular sieve barrel 120. Setting the purge airway 1311 as a straight channel can reduce the resistance of the airway to the fluid and reduce the pressure drop of the fluid during the flow process.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, the purging component 132 is disposed near the purging hole 1312 and is sealed to the purging hole 1312 by a purging sealing ring 133. A stepped structure is provided on the communication path between the purging hole 1312 and the purging air passage 1311 to accommodate the installation of the purging component 132 and the purging sealing ring 133.

[0049] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the purging component 132 and the purging seal ring 133, as well as the cleaning and formation of the purging air passage 1311, preferably, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The purge hole 1312 is formed on the upper surface of the lower end cover 131, and the purge air passage 1311 is recessed on the lower surface of the lower end cover 131. The lower end cover assembly 130 also includes a cover plate 134 that covers the lower surface of the lower end cover 131 to close the purge air passage 1311. In order to ensure the seal between the lower end cover 131 and the cover plate 134 and prevent gas leakage in the purge air passage, an air passage sealing gasket 135 may be provided between the cover plate 134 and the lower end cover 131.

[0050] like Figure 2As shown, the lower end cap 131 also has a first oxygen channel 1313, a first oxygen outlet 1314 connecting the first oxygen channel 1313 and the first molecular sieve barrel 110, a second oxygen channel 1315, and a second oxygen outlet 1316 connecting the second oxygen channel 1315 and the second molecular sieve barrel 120. In use, oxygen produced in the first molecular sieve barrel 110 can be collected by entering the first oxygen channel 1313 through the first oxygen outlet 1314, and oxygen produced in the second molecular sieve barrel 120 can be collected by entering the second oxygen channel 1315 through the second oxygen outlet 1316. Thus, the lower end cap 131 integrates purging and oxygen outlet functions, further simplifying the structure.

[0051] In this invention, the first oxygen channel 1313 and the second oxygen channel 1315 can extend on the lower end cover 131 in any form. For example, they can extend on the plane where the lower end cover 131 is located, or they can extend at an angle relative to the plane where the lower end cover is located; they can extend in a straight line or in a curve; they can extend inside the lower end cover 131 or on the surface of the lower end cover 131.

[0052] In some implementations, see Figure 2 The first oxygen channel 1313 and the second oxygen channel 1315 extend on the plane of the lower end cover 131, that is, the first oxygen channel 1313 and the second oxygen channel 1315 extend horizontally on the lower end cover 131. In this case, the first oxygen outlet 1314 can be located above the first oxygen channel 1313, and the second oxygen outlet 1316 can be located above the second oxygen channel 1315. In this way, the space of the lower end cover 131 can be fully utilized and the layout optimized. The lower end cover 131 may also have two oxygen outlets 1317 that communicate with the first oxygen channel 1313 and the second oxygen channel 1315 respectively. The oxygen outlets 1317 and the first oxygen outlet 1314 / second oxygen outlet 1316 are located at the two ends of the first oxygen channel 1313 / second oxygen channel 1315 respectively.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first oxygen channel 1313 is a curved channel, the second oxygen channel 1315 is a straight channel, and the cross-sectional shape of the lower end cover 131 is rectangular. The first oxygen channel 1313 and the second oxygen channel 1315 extend along the length of the lower end cover 131. Both oxygen outlets 1317 are located on the left side of the lower end cover 131. The first oxygen channel 1313 is longer because it needs to be connected to the first molecular sieve barrel 110, which is farther away from the oxygen outlet 1317. The second oxygen channel 1315 is shorter because it is connected to the second molecular sieve barrel 120, which is closer to the oxygen outlet 1317.

[0054] To facilitate the cleaning and formation of the first oxygen channel 1313 and the second oxygen channel 1315, preferably, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first oxygen outlet 1314 and the second oxygen outlet 1316 are formed on the upper surface of the lower end cover 131, and the first oxygen channel 1313 and the second oxygen channel 1315 are recessed on the lower surface of the lower end cover 131.

[0055] When the lower end cover 131 has a purge airway 1311, a first oxygen passage 1313, and a second oxygen passage 1315, the airway sealing gasket 135 is used to simultaneously seal the purge airway 1311, the first oxygen passage 1313, and the second oxygen passage 1315. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the first oxygen channel 1313 is located below the lower end cover 131, and the purge airway 1311 and the second oxygen channel 1315 are located side by side above the lower end cover 131. The total length of the purge airway 1311 and the second oxygen channel 1315 along the length of the lower end cover 131 is approximately the same as the length of the first oxygen channel 1313. Figure 1 As shown, the airway sealing gasket 135 is shaped to fit the overall contour of the purge airway 1311, the first oxygen channel 1313, and the second oxygen channel 1315. The cover plate 134 simultaneously seals the purge airway 1311, the first oxygen channel 1313, and the second oxygen channel 1315. The cover plate 134 is detachably connected to the lower end cover 131.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a groove 1318 can also be provided on the lower surface of the lower end cover 131, surrounding the purge air passage 1311, the first oxygen passage 1313 and the second oxygen passage 1315, and the air passage sealing gasket 135 is embedded in the groove 1318.

[0057] Another aspect of this utility model provides an oxygen generator, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 3-6 The oxygen generator 100 includes a first molecular sieve barrel 110 and a second molecular sieve barrel 120 arranged side by side, and a lower end cap assembly 130 connected to the lower end of the first molecular sieve barrel 110 and the second molecular sieve barrel 120.

[0058] The oxygen generator 100 also includes a mounting housing 140, which internally defines a mounting chamber 141 for mounting a first molecular sieve barrel 110 and a second molecular sieve barrel 120. The mounting chamber 141 has an opening for the first molecular sieve barrel 110 and the second molecular sieve barrel 120 to enter and exit, and a lower end cover 131 is installed at the opening. The mounting housing 140 is provided with a mounting base 142 on one side of the opening. The oxygen generator 100 also includes an oxygen tank 150, which is mounted on the mounting base 142. The mounting base 142 has an oxygen inlet connector through hole 1421 through which the oxygen inlet connector 151 of the oxygen tank 150 is inserted to insert into the oxygen outlet 1317 of the lower end cover 131.

[0059] The oxygen tank 150 has two oxygen inlet connectors 151, and the mounting base 142 is provided with two oxygen inlet connector through holes 1421 (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown). See also Figure 4 Two oxygen inlet connectors 151 are inserted into two oxygen outlet ports 1317 respectively, passing through two oxygen inlet connector holes 1421. The oxygen inlet connectors 151 can collect oxygen from the first oxygen channel 1313 and the second oxygen channel 1315 into the oxygen tank 150. See also... Figure 3 and Figure 4 An oxygen inlet sealing ring 152 may also be provided between the oxygen inlet connector 151 and the oxygen outlet 1317.

[0060] See Figures 4-6 The lower end cover 131, cover plate 134, and mounting base 142 are each provided with connecting holes 1319. Cover plate 134 is detachably connected to lower end cover 131 by bolts 180, and lower end cover 131 is detachably connected to mounting base 142 by bolts 180. During assembly, cover plate 134 is first connected to lower end cover 131, and then lower end cover 131 is connected to mounting base 142. To improve assembly reliability and efficiency, positioning structures can be provided between cover plate 134 and lower end cover 131, and between lower end cover 131 and mounting base 142. For example... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a positioning post 1310 can be provided on the lower end cover 131, and a positioning hole 1422 adapted to the positioning post 1310 can be provided on the mounting base 142.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the lower end cap assembly 130 may also include a lower end cap sealing gasket 136, which is used to seal between the lower end cap 131 and the lower ends of the first molecular sieve barrel 110 and the second molecular sieve barrel 120.

[0062] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the oxygen generator 100 may further include an upper cover 160, an upper cover sealing gasket 161, an air inlet / nitrogen outlet sealing ring 162, a control valve 170, and a control valve sealing ring 171. The upper cover 160 is connected to the upper ends of the first molecular sieve barrel 110 and the second molecular sieve barrel 120. The upper cover 160 has two air inlet / nitrogen outlets 163 (for air intake and nitrogen discharge from the molecular sieve barrels) respectively communicating with the first molecular sieve barrel 110 and the second molecular sieve barrel 120. The air inlet / nitrogen outlet sealing ring 162 is sealingly disposed between the air inlet / nitrogen outlets 163 and the mounting chamber 141. The control valve 170 is disposed above the mounting chamber 140, connected to the upper cover 160 through an opening in the mounting chamber 140, and sealed by the control valve sealing ring 171.
