Background Art

[0002] An oxygen concentrator is a type of machine that produces oxygen. It uses air separation technology to separate the various components in the air. Among them, small oxygen concentrators often use the adsorption properties of molecular sieves to separate nitrogen and oxygen in the air, ultimately obtaining high-concentration oxygen.

In existing technologies, the backflush interface is often realized through a flow limiting valve, which continuously backflushes oxygen to another sieve drum through the flow limiting valve to discharge nitrogen. However, the nitrogen discharge time cannot be accurately controlled, and there is no pressure equalization function, which will also cause oxygen waste. Summary of the Invention
