Existing gas compression devices and impurity removal devices are two separate pieces of equipment. Generally, impurity removal is performed first before compression. This requires a larger installation space and is not very convenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0026] The embodiments will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the preferred embodiment 1, a gas pressure swing adsorption (PSA) impurity removal machine includes a cylindrical equipment shell 7. The equipment shell 7 is provided with a compression module. The air inlet 8 and air outlet 9 of the equipment shell 7 are both connected to the compression module, and the air outlet end of the air inlet 8 and the air inlet end of the air outlet 9 are connected through the adsorption module.

[0028] The compression module includes several synchronously rotating compression blades 2. Adjacent compression blades 2 cross and abut each other, and all compression blades 2 cooperate to form a compression cavity with the same number of sides as the number of compression blades 2. The side length of the compression cavity changes synchronously with the rotation of the compression blades 2, and the adsorption module is located concentrically and coaxially in the compression cavity.

[0029] When in use, by closing the valve of the air outlet 9, the sealed cavity is in a relatively closed state. The device takes in air through the air inlet 8. After the gas is initially adsorbed by the adsorption module, it enters the compression cavity. In the initial state, the compression cavity is in an uncontracted state with a larger side length.

[0030] In the compression state, the compression blades 2 rotate synchronously, and the compression chamber gradually shrinks to compress the gas. At this time, the gas pressure increases, and the gas enters the outlet 9 after secondary adsorption by the adsorption module to form compressed gas. At the same time, impurities in the gas are adsorbed, realizing the integration of compression and adsorption.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment 2, the compression chamber is concentric and coaxial with the equipment housing 7, and the adsorption module is concentric and coaxial with the compression chamber. This arrangement of the compression position prevents interference between the sealed chamber and the adsorption module after compression.

[0032] Furthermore, the compression cavity does not conflict with the adsorption module after it contracts, and its size is always larger than that of the adsorption module.

[0033] Furthermore, the compression cavity and the adsorption module are both regular polygons, and when the compression cavity contracts to its final position, it fits snugly against the outer wall of the adsorption module.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment 3, the compression blades 2 are no fewer than three, forming a regular polygon with no fewer than three sides. This ensures the formation of a sealed cavity with a regular polygonal shape, compressing the internal gas during the shrinkage process.

[0035] The compression blades 2 are all parallel to the equipment housing 7. The first and last sides of the compression blades 2 are respectively attached to the vertical surfaces of the corresponding equipment housing 7 to ensure the airtightness of both ends of the sealed cavity as much as possible without affecting the rotation of the compression blades 2. A rotating shaft 3 is provided on one side of the compression blades 2 parallel to the central axis of the equipment housing 7. The two ends of the rotating shaft 3 pass through the equipment housing 7 through the gas seal 1 and form a sealed rotation with the equipment housing 7 to ensure rotation without leakage. The other side of the compression blades 2 parallel to the central axis of the equipment housing 7 is always in close contact with the adjacent compression blades 2. The two sides of the regular polygon corner formed by the close contact of the compression blades 2 and the adjacent compression blades 2 ensure a certain degree of airtightness of the side of the sealed cavity and also ensure that the regular polygon is enlarged or reduced when rotating synchronously.

[0036] A rubber structure 4 is provided on the side of the compression blade 2 that is in close contact with the adjacent compression blade 2. The side of the compression blade 2 is in close contact with the adjacent compression blade 2 through the rubber structure 4, which ensures a certain degree of airtightness of the side of the sealed cavity, does not affect the opening and closing, and also avoids the adjacent compression blades 2 from scraping each other during rotation, which would affect the service life of the compression blade 2.

[0037] In a more preferred embodiment 4, the outer side of the equipment housing 7, located on the side of the air inlet 8, is detachably equipped with a motor corresponding one-to-one with the rotating shaft 3 of the compression blade 2. The motor output shaft and the corresponding rotating shaft 3 of the compression blade 2 are connected by a transmission assembly. The motor is detachably mounted on the outer side of the equipment housing 7, and a suitable motor can be selected as needed.

[0038] As a preferred transmission component, a coupling can be selected, and the compression process can be controlled by controlling the rotation angle of the motor.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment 5, the adsorption module includes a polygonal adsorption bed 10, with its two ends respectively fitted onto the outlet end of the inlet 8 and the inlet end of the outlet 9. The adsorption bed 10 has a plurality of adsorption pores, each filled with a solid adsorbent. As the gas passes through the adsorption pores, it is adsorbed and purified by the adsorbent. A suitable adsorbent can be selected according to the purification requirements.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment 6, the outer wall of the device housing 7 is provided with a pressure display 5 with a built-in controller, the air outlet 9 is provided with an electric air valve 6, and the air outlet 9 on the front side of the air inlet end of the electric air valve 6 is provided with an air pressure detection sensor 11. The electric air valve 6 is linked with the air pressure detection sensor 11 through the controller, and the air pressure detection sensor 11 is displayed on the pressure display 5 through the controller.

[0041] The pressure display 5, the electric air valve 6, and the air pressure detection sensor 11 are all existing devices. The air pressure at the compressed outlet 9 is detected by the air pressure detection sensor 11. When the air pressure is not less than the set value, the electric air valve 6 is opened by the controller in the pressure display 5 to supply air.

[0042] When the air pressure is lower than the set value, the electric air valve 6 remains closed and waits for the next air supply and compression to ensure the pressure of the supplied air.

[0043] The air pressure is monitored in real time on the outside via the pressure display 5.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment 7, the compression cavity is a regular hexagon, the compression blades 2 are six blades, the maximum rotation angle during compression is 30°, the adsorption bed 10 is a regular hexagon, and when the compression cavity is fully contracted, the inner wall of the compression cavity is in close contact with the outer side of the adsorption bed 10.

[0045] The working principle of this utility model:

[0046] When in use, by closing the valve of the air outlet 9, the sealed cavity is in a relatively closed state. The device takes in air through the air inlet 8. After the gas is initially adsorbed by the adsorption module, it enters the compression cavity. In the initial state, the compression cavity is in an uncontracted state with a larger side length.

[0047] In the compression state, the compression blades 2 rotate synchronously, and the compression chamber gradually shrinks to compress the gas. At this time, the gas pressure increases, and the gas enters the outlet 9 after secondary adsorption by the adsorption module to form compressed gas. At the same time, impurities in the gas are adsorbed, realizing the integration of compression and adsorption.
