Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nitrogen generation equipment, specifically an oxygen recovery device for a mining membrane nitrogen generation system. Background Technology

[0002] Membrane separation is a highly efficient separation technology widely used in gas separation, including nitrogen production. In membrane separation for nitrogen production, air is compressed and passed through a specially designed membrane. Due to the differences in size and properties of oxygen and nitrogen molecules, their permeability through the membrane differs. Generally, oxygen molecules are smaller and more reactive, making them easier to pass through the membrane, while nitrogen molecules are relatively more difficult to pass through. By adjusting the membrane properties and operating conditions, the separation efficiency of oxygen and nitrogen can be controlled. After membrane separation, we obtain a stream enriched in nitrogen and a stream enriched in oxygen.

[0003] For example, patent CN221432575U discloses a membrane separation nitrogen generator for coal mines, comprising: an air supply assembly; a filter assembly connected to the air supply assembly for filtering out oil, water, and dust particles from the air; a nitrogen-oxygen separation assembly including at least two membrane separators connected in parallel, each membrane separator containing a separation membrane, and each membrane separator having an oxygen outlet and a nitrogen outlet for supplying oxygen and nitrogen respectively, the nitrogen outlet being connected to a nitrogen discharge valve; and a mobile transport assembly on which the air supply assembly, filter assembly, and nitrogen-oxygen separation assembly are all mounted.

[0004] The aforementioned membrane separation nitrogen generator for coal mines uses a mobile transport component to move the gas supply component, filtration component, and nitrogen-oxygen separation component around the coal mine site, increasing the flexibility of the device and facilitating on-site nitrogen supply. Furthermore, the simultaneous separation of nitrogen and oxygen by multiple membrane separators improves nitrogen production efficiency and meets the nitrogen usage needs of different production sites. However, the disadvantage of the aforementioned patent is that, generally speaking, after air separation, oxygen is directly released into the environment, resulting in waste.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve such a structure to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an oxygen recovery device for a mining membrane nitrogen generator, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An oxygen recovery unit for a mining membrane nitrogen generator includes a mining flatbed truck and a chassis fixedly mounted on the truck.

A tank mounting base is located on the right side of the chassis. A semi-circular tank mounting groove is formed at the top of the tank mounting base, into which the liquid nitrogen storage tank is placed. A tank fixing plate is connected to the rear side of the tank mounting groove via a hinge.

[0009] Furthermore, the exhaust pipe is connected to the liquid oxygen storage tank via a movable joint.

[0010] Furthermore, the tank fixing plate is generally arc-shaped.

[0011] Furthermore, the pressurizing mechanism is an air compressor.

[0012] Furthermore, the liquid nitrogen storage tank is located outside the chassis.

[0013] Furthermore, a screw mounting seat is vertically provided at the front end of the tank mounting groove. A fisheye screw is rotatably connected to the screw mounting seat via a pin. A wing nut is threaded onto the fisheye screw. A slot is provided at the front end of the tank fixing plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the front of the chassis is provided with an inspection door, through which the interior of the chassis can be inspected and maintained.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention can transport the oxygen generated during the nitrogen production process to the liquid oxygen storage tank for storage; it can also transport the liquid oxygen storage tank separately and replace the empty liquid oxygen storage tank. Attached Figure Description
