Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of oxygen gas compression equipment, specifically a double-row piston VPSA compressor for oxygen production. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) oxygen generation technology utilizes the characteristic that zeolite molecular sieves have increased nitrogen adsorption capacity under high pressure and decreased adsorption capacity under negative pressure (vacuum). Oxygen and nitrogen separation is achieved by periodically changing the pressure of the adsorption tower. This process places two core requirements on the gas source: first, to provide a stable positive pressure compressed air to the adsorption tower (positive pressure adsorption stage); second, to evacuate the adsorption tower during the desorption stage (negative pressure regeneration stage). The three mainstream solutions in existing technologies and their shortcomings are as follows: 1. Roots blower + 1. Water ring vacuum pumps have drawbacks such as high energy consumption, cumbersome maintenance, high noise and vibration, oil / water contamination of molecular sieves, and low system integration. 2. Single-function piston compressors can only provide positive pressure; negative pressure regeneration requires a separate vacuum pump, making it impossible to achieve dual-function operation. 3. Single-cylinder reciprocating compressors have issues such as time-sharing of positive and negative pressure, large airflow pulsation, significant flow fluctuations, complex reversing mechanisms, long intake and exhaust paths, high flow resistance, prominent valve opening and closing noise, poor dustproof sealing, and difficulty in adapting to complex operating conditions such as vehicle-mounted applications. In summary, existing technologies generally suffer from low system integration, the need for multiple units to work together for positive / negative pressure, long airflow paths, high noise, and poor dustproof sealing. They are particularly difficult to simultaneously meet the comprehensive requirements for size, noise, lifespan, and reliability under various complex operating conditions, thus requiring improvement.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a double-row piston VPSA compressor for oxygen production, including a compressor body 5. A second cylinder 3 and a first cylinder 20 are respectively arranged on both sides of the top of the compressor body 5.

Both the second body silencer sealing cover 10 and the first body silencer sealing cover 8 are connected to sealing cover fixing screws 9. One end of the sealing cover fixing screws 9 is fixedly connected to the compressor body 5. The second body silencer sealing cover 10 and the first body silencer sealing cover 8 are used to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the piston connecting rod.
[0022] Working Principle: When using this oxygen-generating double-row piston VPSA compressor, first, install and fix the compressor body 5 to the corresponding position of the oxygen-generating equipment using the compressor fixing screws 7. Then, correctly connect the inlet and outlet ports at the top of the second cylinder 3 and the first cylinder 20 to the gas path system of the molecular sieve adsorption tower, ensuring that the gas path is unobstructed and reliably sealed. After the connection is completed, turn on the power. The motor stator 1 is energized and generates a rotating magnetic field, driving the motor rotor 4 to start rotating. When the motor rotor 4 rotates, it drives the positive pressure piston rod 12 and the negative pressure piston rod 15 on both sides to reciprocate synchronously. The piston connecting rod 12 drives the positive pressure seal 16 to reciprocate up and down in the second cylinder 3, while the negative pressure piston connecting rod 15 drives the negative pressure seal 19 to reciprocate up and down in the first cylinder 20. Since both the positive and negative pressure piston connecting rods 12 and 15 are connected to the same motor rotor 4 and are symmetrically arranged, their movements are in opposite phases. That is, when one piston moves upward to compress, the other piston moves downward to draw in air. The two sets of pistons work alternately, making the overall machine operation smoother and effectively reducing airflow pulsation. In the first cylinder 20, when the negative pressure seal 19 moves downward, the first cylinder... As the internal volume of cylinder 20 increases and the pressure decreases, a negative pressure is created. At this time, the inlet check valve 24 opens under the external gas pressure, and gas is drawn into the first cylinder 20 through the single-hole inlet. Simultaneously, the exhaust check valve 27 remains closed under the negative pressure, completing the suction process and achieving vacuum desorption and regeneration of the adsorption tower. When the piston negative pressure seal 19 moves upward, the internal volume of the first cylinder 20 decreases, and the gas is compressed. At this time, the inlet check valve 24 closes under pressure, and the gas is discharged outward through the double-hole exhaust port of the check valve 21, opening the exhaust check valve 27. During the exhaust process, the exhaust one-way valve plate limiter 28 limits the lift of the exhaust one-way valve plate 27 within a predetermined range, effectively suppressing valve plate knocking noise. In the second cylinder 3, its working process is synchronized with the negative pressure side but in opposite phase. When the piston on the positive pressure side moves downward, it completes the intake; when it moves upward, it completes the compression exhaust. The output positive pressure gas is sent into the adsorption tower through the double-hole exhaust port for oxygen and nitrogen separation adsorption. The intake and exhaust of both cylinders are completed at the top of the cylinder and valve plate. The intake and exhaust paths do not pass through the motor or other internal spaces, achieving the shortest gas exchange path and significantly reducing flow resistance and energy loss.
