[0002] Portable oxygen concentrators are easy to carry or transport. They produce oxygen with the same effect as desktop oxygen concentrators, and operate on a similar principle. They mostly utilize PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) and VPSA technologies, but require nitrogen removal during use.

[0003] Existing portable oxygen concentrators separate oxygen and nitrogen from the air using molecular sieve adsorption. The separated nitrogen needs to be discharged from the equipment through the exhaust port. However, there are shortcomings. The nitrogen exhaust channel design of existing equipment is simple, usually using a straight pipe or a single sound-absorbing cotton structure. This results in high noise, limited sound absorption effect, uneven airflow distribution, and the components cannot be disassembled and replaced inconveniently. Therefore, a nitrogen exhaust and sound absorption structure for portable oxygen concentrators is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Threaded splicing grooves are opened at both the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the inner guide tube, and a guide plate and sound-absorbing cotton are inserted into the upper end of the inner wall of the inner guide tube. A diffuser plate is inserted into the lower end of the inner wall of the inner guide tube.

[0006] Preferably, the outer shell of the silencing mechanism is screwed into the oxygen generator body via a threaded slot, and the outer shell of the silencing mechanism is supported and fixed to the oxygen generator body via a reinforcing block. The outer wall of the outer shell of the silencing mechanism is made of rubber.

[0007] Preferably, the nitrogen venting pipe and connecting cover are installed in a screw-on, sealed assembly with the outer shell of the silencer mechanism via a threaded mounting ring and a threaded mounting groove.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The nitrogen exhaust and noise reduction structure of this portable oxygen concentrator can divide the high-speed airflow into multiple low-speed airflows by using a honeycomb-shaped guide plate, reducing turbulence. Furthermore, by filling with gradient density sound-absorbing cotton, it absorbs noise of different frequency bands step by step. Moreover, the spiral-patterned inner guide tube extends the airflow path, reduces the flow velocity, and reduces friction noise.

The outer wall of the housing 1 is made of rubber, which allows for quick and easy screwing and disassembly of the silencing mechanism housing 1. It can also be supported and fixed by the reinforcing block 13, ensuring stable installation. The nitrogen exhaust pipe 2 and the connecting cover 10 are screwed and sealed to the silencing mechanism housing 1 via a threaded mounting ring 11 and a threaded mounting groove 12, making it easy to screw and disassemble and replace. A threaded slot 9 is provided on one side of the oxygen generator body 3, and the silencing mechanism housing 1 is inserted into the threaded slot 9 for installation. A reinforcing block 13 is fitted onto one side of the outer wall of the silencing mechanism housing 1. A threaded mounting groove 12 is provided on the other edge of the silencing mechanism housing 1, and a threaded mounting ring 11 is screwed onto the inner wall of the threaded mounting groove 12. The threaded mounting ring 11... One end is fixedly connected to a connecting cap 10, and the nitrogen exhaust pipe 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting cap 10. A polyurethane layer 8 is inserted into the inner wall of the silencing mechanism housing 1, and an inner guide pipe 7 is inserted into the inner wall of the polyurethane layer 8. The inner guide pipe 7 has a spiral pattern on its inner wall, and the inner guide pipe 7 and the polyurethane layer 8 are installed in a double-layer positioning and insertion splicing with the silencing mechanism housing 1 through positioning blocks 15 and positioning slots 16. This allows the inner guide pipe 7 to extend the airflow path, reduce the flow velocity, and reduce friction noise. The outer walls of the inner guide pipe 7 and the polyurethane layer 8 are both fixedly connected to protruding positioning blocks 15, and the positioning blocks 15 are inserted into the positioning slots 16. The positioning slots 16 are opened in the inner walls of the silencing mechanism housing 1 and the polyurethane layer 8. The upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the inner guide pipe 7 are...

Then, the main body 3 of the oxygen concentrator can be started. When nitrogen venting is needed, it flows into the outer shell 1 of the noise reduction mechanism. Then, the high-speed airflow is divided into multiple low-speed airflows by the guide plate 4 to reduce turbulence. Then, the noise reduction cotton 5 absorbs different frequency noises in stages. Finally, the spiral pattern of the inner guide tube 7 extends the airflow path and reduces the flow velocity. It reduces friction noise, and then the airflow pressure is evenly distributed through the diffuser plate 6 to avoid the popping sound caused by local high pressure. Then it is discharged through the nitrogen discharge pipe 2. When the silencing mechanism needs to be replaced, the outer shell 1 of the silencing mechanism can be removed, and then the guide plate 4, the sound-absorbing cotton 5, and the diffuser plate 6 can be screwed together and disassembled through the threaded splicing groove 14. The inner guide pipe 7 and the polyurethane layer 8 can be pulled out and disassembled through the positioning plug 15 and the positioning slot 16 for quick positioning and replacement. This is the usage process of the nitrogen discharge silencing structure of this portable oxygen generator.
