The purification module includes two sets of adsorption towers, with the input ends of both sets connected to the oxygen supply module and the output ends of both sets connected to the nitrogen storage tank. The nitrogen storage tank has an input nitrogen purity analyzer electrically connected to the control cabinet at its input end and a nitrogen flow meter electrically connected to the control cabinet at its output end. Both sets of adsorption towers have inlet valves electrically connected to the control cabinet at their input ends and outlet valves electrically connected to the control cabinet at their output ends. This invention allows for switching the operating time of the two adsorption towers according to user needs, achieving energy savings.
[0004] While existing technologies can overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, other problems still exist in their operation: In the process of nitrogen generation, nitrogen generators generally generate nitrogen through equipment inside the tank and discharge the gas inside the tank through pipelines. Existing nitrogen generator tank pipelines are generally connected by flanges, and the pipelines cannot automatically seal when disconnected. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4. This utility model provides the following technical solution: A lightweight modular nitrogen generator unit that can be quickly disassembled and assembled includes a base 1. A preparation tank 2 is installed on the top of the base 1. The bottom of the preparation tank 2 is fixed to the top of the base 1 by annularly distributed support feet 3. An exhaust pipe 4 and an intake pipe 5 are provided on the outside of the preparation tank 2. The exhaust pipe 4 and the intake pipe 5 are connected by a quick-connect structure. The quick-connect structure includes a first sealing plug 7 that is slidably disposed inside the exhaust pipe 4. A second sealing ring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the intake pipe 5. A push block 10 is fixed to the center of the second sealing ring 9 by a bracket. The push block 10 abuts against the end face of the first sealing plug 7. A first mounting rod 6 that extends axially inside the exhaust pipe 4 is provided. The first mounting rod 6 is fixed to the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 4 by a bracket. The first sealing plug 7 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the first mounting rod 6. On the side, a first return spring 11 is connected between the end of the first sealing plug 7 and the end of the first mounting rod 6. The inner wall of the exhaust pipe 4 is also provided with a first sealing ring 8. The inner side of the first sealing ring 8 is in contact with the outer wall of the first sealing plug 7. The outer wall of the exhaust pipe 4 is provided with an external thread 12. The inside of the intake pipe 5 is provided with a second mounting rod 13. The second mounting rod 13 is fixed to the inner wall of the intake pipe 5 by a bracket. The outer side of the second mounting rod 13 is slidably sleeved with a second sealing plug 14. A second return spring 15 is connected between the end of the second sealing plug 14 and the end of the second mounting rod 13. The second sealing ring 9 and the second sealing plug 14 form a one-way valve structure. The outer side of the intake pipe 5 is sleeved with a slidable fixing sleeve 16. The inner wall of the fixing sleeve 16 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread 12 of the exhaust pipe 4. When the fixing sleeve 16 is tightened on the exhaust pipe 4, the second sealing ring 9 and the first sealing ring 8 are pressed together to form a seal.
[0026] During operation, the nitrogen generator unit is connected to the external pipes through the inlet pipe 5, allowing gas to enter the processing equipment inside the preparation tank 2 through the inlet pipe 5. After processing, the gas will be discharged from the preparation tank 2 through the inlet pipe 5. The pipes connected to the inlet pipe 5 and the exhaust pipe 4 on the outside of the preparation tank 2 are equipped with quick-connect structures.
[0027] When the two intake pipes 5 and the exhaust pipe 4 are connected to each other, the ends of the exhaust pipe 4 and the intake pipe 5 will come into contact with each other. At this time, the push block 10 will come into contact with the first sealing plug 7. The push block 10 will drive the first sealing plug 7 to slide outside the first mounting rod 6. At this time, the first sealing plug 7 will compress the first return spring 11 and the first sealing plug 7 will separate from the first sealing ring 8. At this time, a passage will be formed inside the exhaust pipe 4.
[0028] When the exhaust pipe 4 and the intake pipe 5 are fully fitted, the outer fixing sleeve 16 of the intake pipe 5 is slidable, and the fixing sleeve 16 is rotated so that the external thread 12 on the outer side of the exhaust pipe 4 rotates. The rotation of the fixing sleeve 16 drives it to move on the outer side of the exhaust pipe 4, and the inner end of the fixing sleeve 16 applies a force toward the end of the intake pipe 5, making the exhaust pipe 4 and the intake pipe 5 fit more tightly. The second sealing ring 9 and the first sealing ring 8 fit together to form a seal. During the operation of the nitrogen generator, gas will enter the interior of the intake pipe 5 through the exhaust pipe 4. When the gas enters the interior of the intake pipe 5, it will push the second sealing plug 14 on the outer side of the second mounting rod 13 to slide, so that the second sealing plug 14 and the second sealing ring 9 separate from each other. The gas will enter the intake pipe 5 and the interior of the base 1 through the gap between the second sealing plug 14 and the second sealing ring 9.
[0029] When the exhaust pipe 4 and the intake pipe 5 are separated, the second return spring 15 inside the intake pipe 5 will drive the second sealing plug 14 to slide outside the second mounting rod 13 until the second sealing plug 14 and the second sealing ring 9 fit together to form a sealing structure, thereby sealing the end of the intake pipe 5. The first return spring 11 inside the exhaust pipe 4 will drive the first sealing plug 7 to slide outside the first mounting rod 6. At this time, the first sealing plug 7 will fit together with the first sealing ring 8 to form a sealing structure, thereby sealing the end of the exhaust pipe 4, so that the exhaust pipe 4 and the intake pipe 5 automatically seal when separated.
[0030] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to Figures 5 and 6. The following structure is also disclosed, and its specific structure is as follows: The base 1 includes an annular frame 17 and a plurality of transverse mounting rods 18 fixedly connected to the inner side of the annular frame 17. The transverse mounting rods 18 are provided with mounting holes that are evenly distributed. One side of the annular frame 17 is provided with two symmetrical connecting holes 19, and the other side is provided with a guide rail 20 corresponding to the connecting holes 19. A connecting block 21 is slidably arranged in the guide rail 20. One end of the connecting block 21 extends to the outside of the annular frame 17 and is inserted into the connecting hole 19 of the adjacent base. The top of the connecting block 21 is provided with an exposed actuating block 22, and a spring is connected between the connecting block 21 and the inner wall of the guide rail 20.
[0031] The base 1 is fixed to the preparation tank 2 by the support feet 3. The support feet 3 are connected to each other by bolts and mounting holes inside the horizontal mounting rods 18. The installation position of the preparation tank 2 and the support feet 3 on the top of the base 1 is adjusted by the multiple horizontal mounting rods 18 and the multiple mounting holes on the top of the horizontal mounting rods 18.
[0032] Align the annular frames 17 of the two bases 1, and push the connecting block 21 of one base 1 to slide along the guide rail 20. After the inclined surface of the connecting block 21 contacts the connecting hole 19 of the adjacent base 1, it is squeezed inward until it is completely inserted into the connecting hole 19. At this time, the spring in the guide rail 20 rebounds and locks the position of the connecting block 21, realizing the quick splicing of the bases 1. Push the exposed actuating block 22 upward, drive the connecting block 21 to move inward along the guide rail 20 and compress the spring, so that the connecting block 21 disengages from the connecting hole 19, and the two bases 1 can be separated.
