Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oxygen generator, especially a filter silencing structure for oxygen generator. BACKGROUND

[0002] The portable oxygen generator is a kind of small device designed for the user needing oxygen therapy, with portability, ease of use and stability, which provides great convenience for the user, especially suitable for the user needing long-term oxygen therapy or outdoor activities, and can significantly improve the quality of life.

[0003] In order to prevent dust, particulate matter, pollutants and other impurities in the air from entering the suction port of the compressor to cause wear or damage to the internal components of the compressor, a filter component is usually installed at the suction port of the compressor of the oxygen generator. In the existing portable oxygen generator, the filter component is basically filter cotton, and the filtering effect is not ideal. Moreover, when the airflow passes through the suction port of the compressor, it will produce turbulence and vibration, resulting in noise. When the compressor is running, the vibration of the mechanical components will be transmitted to the suction port, further increasing the noise. Therefore, a silencing component needs to be installed at the suction port of the compressor, which will make the structure at the suction port of the compressor more complex, both the filter component and the silencing component need to be installed, which not only increases the cost, but also increases the assembly process, resulting in further increase in cost.

[0008] The utility model discloses a filter sound -absorbing structure for portable oxygen generator, filter board is installed at the suction port of the compressor of oxygen generator, the filter cotton layer of filter layer can carry out the first filtration to air, PET sintering filter layer can carry out the second filtration to air, because the inside and surface of PET sintering filter layer are all porous structure, it can effectively intercept particulate matter, provide higher filtration efficiency, PET sintering filter layer has deep -layer filtration characteristic, can capture different size particulate matter, in addition, the porous structure of PET sintering filter layer inside can effectively absorb sound wave energy, reduce sound wave reflection and propagation, thereby reducing noise, when sound wave passes through PET sintering filter layer, part energy is converted into heat energy because of friction and viscous effect, further weakens sound wave intensity, the complex internal structure of PET sintering filter layer will make sound wave scatter, reduce the concentrated propagation of sound wave, reach sound -absorbing effect, the damping characteristic of PET sintering filter layer material itself can inhibit vibration, reduce the noise of vibration generation, the acoustic impedance of PET sintering filter layer is close to air, is helpful to the sound wave entering material inside and being absorbed, instead of reflection, namely PET sintering filter layer passes through porous structure, energy conversion, sound wave scattering, damping effect and impedance matching mechanism, can effectively reduce the noise of the suction port of compressor, the filter sound -absorbing structure of the utility model, simple structure, one component can ensure the filtration effect to air and can effectively reduce the noise of the suction port of compressor, not only reduces the cost, and can reduce the process of assembly.

[0009] Further, the periphery of the mounting hole is provided with a ring of bosses, the inner wall of the bosses is provided with a ring of clamping grooves, and the periphery of the filter layer is clamped in the clamping grooves.

[0010] Therefore, the filter layer can be stably mounted on the filter plate through the clamping grooves, and the filter layer can filter and reduce noise when the filter sound-absorbing structure is installed at the suction port of the compressor.

[0011] Further, the periphery of the filter plate is provided with a ring of protrusions, and the filter plate is provided with a through hole for communicating with an air inlet pipe on the oxygen generator.

[0012] Therefore, when the compressor is working, the airflow enters the through hole on the filter plate through the air inlet pipe on the oxygen generator under the suction force of the compressor, and when the filter sound-absorbing structure of the utility model is installed in a cavity at the suction port of the compressor and a cover is installed at the opening of the cavity, the airflow entering from the through hole can enter the space enclosed by the protrusions and the cover, and then the airflow can enter the suction port of the compressor for the compressor to suck air after passing through the filter cotton layer and the PET sintering filter layer.

[0013] Further, the height of the protrusions is higher than the height of the bosses.

[0014] Therefore, the design can ensure that the height of the filter layer is lower than the height of the protrusion, when the filter sound reduction structure is installed in a cavity at the suction port of the compressor and a cover is installed at the opening of the cavity, a gap can be ensured between the filter layer and the cover, so that the airflow entering from the through hole can flow between the filter layer and the cover, and under the suction of the compressor, the airflow can smoothly pass through the filter cotton layer and the PET sintered filter layer and enter the suction port for the compressor to inhale air.

[0015] Further, the filter cotton layer is close to the top of the protrusion, and the PET sintered filter layer is away from the top of the protrusion.

[0016] Therefore, when the filter sound reduction structure is installed in a cavity at the suction port of the compressor, the PET sintered filter layer is closer to the suction port of the compressor, so that the noise reduction effect can be guaranteed.

[0017] Further, the side of the filter plate is provided with a lug, and the through hole is arranged on the lug.

[0018] Therefore, the lug on the filter plate can effectively utilize the space inside the oxygen generator, so that the through hole on the lug and the air inlet pipe on the oxygen generator can be more easily connected.

[0019] Further, the lug is formed by extending a part of the edge of the filter plate outwardly.

[0020] Therefore, the lug and the filter plate can be kept in the same plane, and the airflow entering from the through hole on the lug can smoothly and quickly pass through the filter layer.

[0021] Further, the protrusion surrounding wall is at the periphery of the filter plate and the lug.

[0022] Therefore, when the filter sound reduction structure is installed in a cavity at the suction port of the compressor and a cover is installed at the opening of the cavity, the filter plate, the lug, the protrusion and the cover can jointly enclose the filter layer.

[0023] Further, the boss is square in shape.

[0024] Therefore, the boss in square shape can install the filter layer in square shape, and when the filter sound reduction structure is installed in a cavity at the suction port of the compressor, the filter layer in square shape can cover multiple suction ports on the compressor at the same time.
