[0002] An oxygen concentrator is a device used to provide oxygen, widely used in medical, home care, and industrial fields. The oxygen valve, as one of the key components of an oxygen concentrator, plays a crucial role. Its function is to control the airflow direction, ensuring oxygen flows from the oxygen generator to the various points requiring oxygen supply, while simultaneously discharging waste gas. Most oxygen concentrator valves currently on the market employ control pistons and reset pistons or reset springs, resulting in complex overall structures and high manufacturing costs.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides an oxygen generating valve, including a valve body 1. The valve body 1 includes a housing 10, a first chamber 11, a second chamber 12 and a third chamber 13 disposed within the housing 10, and an air inlet channel 14, an air outlet channel 15 and an exhaust channel 16 opened on the housing 10. The upper end of the first chamber 11 is connected to the second chamber 12 through an upper opening 110, and the lower end of the first chamber 11 is connected to the third chamber 13 through a lower opening 111. The air inlet channel 14 is used to connect the outside and the third chamber 13, the air outlet channel 15 is used to connect the outside and the first chamber 11, and the exhaust channel 16 is used to connect the outside and the second chamber 12.
[0025] Pilot valve 2 is disposed on one side of the valve body 1 and communicates with the second chamber 12 through a damping hole 20. An air supply channel 17 communicating with the pilot valve 2 is provided on one side of the air intake channel 14.
[0026] The valve core 3 is disposed in the first chamber 11, and an upper diaphragm 21 and a lower diaphragm 22 are respectively sleeved at both ends. The upper diaphragm 21 is disposed in the second chamber 12 and completely blocks the formation of the upper chamber 120 and the lower chamber 121 in the second chamber 12. The bottom end of the upper diaphragm 21 abuts against the upper opening 110, and the top end of the lower diaphragm 22 abuts against the lower opening 111.
[0027] In the above structure, the upper chamber is connected to the pilot valve through the damping orifice, and the lower chamber is connected to the exhaust channel. When the operator controls the pilot valve to open, some air enters the third chamber through the intake channel, and the remaining air flows into the pilot valve through the delivery channel, and then into the upper chamber through the damping orifice of the pilot valve. The accumulation of air in the upper chamber increases the air pressure, making the air pressure above the upper diaphragm higher than the air pressure below it. This air pressure pushes the upper diaphragm to deform downwards. The downward deformation of the upper diaphragm causes the bottom end to press against and seal the upper opening. At the same time, the downward movement of the upper diaphragm drives the valve core to move downwards. The valve core applies downward pressure to the lower diaphragm, causing the lower diaphragm to deform downwards. The lower diaphragm, which originally pressed against the lower opening at the top, deforms downwards, causing the lower opening to open. The air in the third chamber enters the first chamber through the lower opening and is then discharged through the exhaust channel.
[0028] When the operator closes the pilot valve, the damping orifice of the pilot valve is blocked. Some air enters the third chamber through the intake channel, while the remaining air flows to the pilot valve through the delivery channel. Because the pilot valve is closed, it cannot flow into the upper chamber through the damping orifice, preventing air from entering the upper chamber. As a result, the air pressure above the upper diaphragm is lower than the air pressure below it. Under the action of the reverse pressure difference, the upper diaphragm is pushed upward, so its bottom no longer presses against the upper opening to seal. The upper diaphragm drives the valve core to move upward, and the valve core drives the lower diaphragm to move upward, so that the top of the lower diaphragm presses against the lower opening to seal. Air in the third chamber no longer flows into the first chamber. Air in the first chamber flows out through the upper opening and is then discharged through the exhaust channel. The entire system uses upper and lower diaphragms to replace the original slide valve's control piston and reset piston, simplifying the structure and reducing production costs.
[0029] Specifically, the pilot valve 2 includes a pilot valve housing 23, a pilot valve core 24 movably disposed in the pilot valve housing 23, a first return spring 25 disposed on one side of the pilot valve core 24, a main valve core 26 disposed in the pilot valve housing 23, and a second return spring 27 disposed on one side of the main valve core 26 and used to reset the main valve core 26. The pilot valve is used to precisely control the fluid medium inside the oxygen generator valve and also plays a protective role.
[0030] Specifically, the upper diaphragm 21 and the lower diaphragm 22 are provided with limiting protrusions 200 on their periphery, and the housing 10 is provided with limiting grooves 201 that cooperate with the limiting protrusions 200. The cooperation of the limiting protrusions and the limiting grooves not only fixes the position of the upper and lower diaphragms, but also restricts the installation position of the upper and lower diaphragms, so that the bottom end of the upper diaphragm and the top end of the lower diaphragm can press against and seal the upper and lower openings, thereby achieving a sealing effect.
[0031] Specifically, the valve core 3 has a limiting groove 30 recessed at its upper and lower ends. The upper diaphragm 21 and the lower diaphragm 22 are respectively sleeved in the limiting groove 30. The limiting groove plays a limiting role in the upper and lower diaphragms, preventing the upper and lower diaphragms from shifting and causing the oxygen generating valve to become unusable.
[0032] Specifically, the lower diaphragm 22 has a through hole 220. The through hole allows the air entering the third chamber to pass directly through the through hole instead of pressing down on the lower diaphragm and causing it to deform. This reduces the area of the air directly pressing against the surface of the lower diaphragm.
[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
