[0019] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] This invention uses an STM8S003F3P6 microcontroller as the control chip U1, which features high performance, good stability, and low cost. It controls the power relay of the compressor and the solenoid valves of gas collecting towers A and B, effectively controlling the compressor's operating time and the charging time of gas collecting towers A and B. Three LED digital tubes are used as the human-machine interface, eliminating the need for mobile phones or network signals, making it particularly suitable for the elderly and children. LED1 displays the operating mode and allows setting the mode via a dedicated button (touch switch); LED2 displays the degassing time of gas collecting towers A and B and allows setting the degassing time via a dedicated button; LED3 displays the charging time of gas collecting towers A and B and allows setting the charging time via a dedicated button. The circuit is simple to operate, the digital tube displays are clear, and users can easily understand and monitor the oxygen concentrator's operating status and usage. The LED digital tubes are affordable, and the driver program is simple. The digital tube driver chip U2 in this solution uses the TM1639 chip, which is a chip with a keyboard scanning interface. Compared with the traditional method of adding external circuits or using dynamic keyboard scanning, it can reduce costs and prevent the impact on program running speed. Most LED driver control circuit chips on the market are relatively expensive, which is not conducive to the development of small devices. However, the TM1639 is inexpensive, and the cost can be well controlled when the product is mass-produced. Moreover, it is reliable and durable. After experimental testing, the oxygen generation effect is best when the filling time of gas collection tower A and gas collection tower B is adjusted to 6.5 seconds and the degassing time to 0.1 seconds. This solution is equipped with a buzzer, which can alarm to prompt inappropriate parameter values entered during the setting process. In addition, it can also alarm to prompt if there is a malfunction or abnormality during the use of the oxygen concentrator. Moreover, it will also alarm to remind the operator that the filling time has been reached and to pay attention to degassing when the filling time reaches the originally set filling time. In order to prevent the heat generated by the oxygen concentrator during use, this solution is designed with a cooling fan to ensure more stable and safe operation. This solution incorporates a communication circuit, facilitating communication with other oxygen concentrators to form a cluster. The power relay used is a domestically produced SRD-12VDC-SL-C relay, designed and developed by Songle Company. It features a small size, can operate in environments of +85℃ / +105℃, and offers selectable load options. In summary, this solution significantly reduces overall cost, provides stable and reliable performance, is easy to operate and maintain, and is suitable for mass production, bringing hope for the widespread adoption of oxygen concentrators in ordinary households and public places.

The working principle of a molecular sieve oxygen generator is to utilize the selective adsorption differences of zeolite molecular sieves for nitrogen and oxygen in the air, achieving oxygen separation through a cyclic process of physical adsorption and desorption. This is existing technology, and the specific structure and working process of the molecular sieve oxygen generator will not be detailed here.
[0047] The working principle of this solution is briefly described as follows: A reasonable allocation of the number of oxygen concentrators and their operating time is used. The operating mode is set via touch switches SW1-SW3 combined with the LED display on the digital tube. Each operating mode corresponds to a specific compressor operating time and stop time (because the compressor generates heat and cannot operate continuously). The control program software is pre-designed and programmed into the control chip U1 via the P3 programming interface, allowing the user to select the desired operating mode. Precise control of the filling time of gas collection towers A and B is crucial. Since the oxygen concentrator uses two independent gas collection towers (A and B) to store gas, we need to switch towers after one (e.g., tower A) is filled with oxygen, allowing the other tower (e.g., tower B) to continue collecting oxygen. This prevents oxygen from continuously filling one tower, which could lead to container explosion or component damage. Therefore, we need to set the inflation time for gas collecting towers A and B. This is done using touch switches SW1-SW3, combined with the LED3 display, to set the inflation time and an upper limit. When the upper limit is reached, a buzzer will sound an alarm to warn the operator. Additionally, we need to set the deflation time using touch switches SW1-SW3, combined with the LED2 display. From the above description... Figure 12 As shown in the block diagram of an oxygen concentrator, the nitrogen in the compressed air needs to be released during the oxygen production process, leaving behind the oxygen we need.
[0048] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0049] This invention uses an STM8S003F3P6 microcontroller as the control chip U1, which features high performance, good stability, and low cost. It controls the power relay of the compressor and the solenoid valves of gas collecting towers A and B, effectively controlling the compressor's operating time and the charging time of gas collecting towers A and B. Three LED digital tubes are used as the human-machine interface, eliminating the need for mobile phones or network signals, making it particularly suitable for the elderly and children. LED1 displays the operating mode and allows setting the mode via a dedicated button (touch switch); LED2 displays the degassing time of gas collecting towers A and B and allows setting the degassing time via a dedicated button; LED3 displays the charging time of gas collecting towers A and B and allows setting the charging time via a dedicated button. The circuit is simple to operate, the digital tube displays are clear, and users can easily understand and monitor the oxygen concentrator's operating status and usage. The LED digital tubes are affordable, and the driver program is simple. The digital tube driver chip U2 in this solution uses the TM1639 chip, which is a chip with a keyboard scanning interface. Compared with the traditional method of adding external circuits or using dynamic keyboard scanning, it can reduce costs and prevent the impact on program running speed. Most LED driver control circuit chips on the market are relatively expensive, which is not conducive to the development of small devices. However, the TM1639 is inexpensive, and the cost can be well controlled when the product is mass-produced. Moreover, it is reliable and durable. After experimental testing, the oxygen generation effect is best when the filling time of gas collection tower A and gas collection tower B is adjusted to 6.5 seconds and the degassing time to 0.1 seconds. This solution is equipped with a buzzer, which can alarm to prompt inappropriate parameter values entered during the setting process. In addition, it can also alarm to prompt if there is a malfunction or abnormality during the use of the oxygen concentrator. Moreover, it will also alarm to remind the operator that the filling time has been reached and to pay attention to degassing when the filling time reaches the originally set filling time. In order to prevent the heat generated by the oxygen concentrator during use, this solution is designed with a cooling fan to ensure more stable and safe operation. This solution incorporates a communication circuit, facilitating communication with other oxygen concentrators to form a cluster. The power relay used is a domestically produced SRD-12VDC-SL-C relay, designed and developed by Songle Company. It features a small size, can operate in environments of +85℃ / +105℃, and offers selectable load options. In summary, this solution significantly reduces overall cost, provides stable and reliable performance, is easy to operate and maintain, and is suitable for mass production, bringing hope for the widespread adoption of oxygen concentrators in ordinary households and public places.
