With Fig. 2~Fig. 4, with reference to the pressure distribution shown in Figure 5 and the action that the nitrogen gas generating device of said structure is described constantly of moving.
Curve shown in the P01 of Fig. 5 represents to supply to the raw air pressure in the 1st absorption valve (SV1) and the 2nd absorption valve (SV2).P1~P3 represents respectively from the 1st adsorption tank pressure detector P1, the 2nd adsorption tank pressure detector P2 and the resulting force value of product groove pressure detector P3.SV1, SV2, SV3, SV4, SV5, SV6, SV7 represent to be used for making the valve drive signal of corresponding valve switching respectively.In applying the zone of shade, be by valve drive signal with each valve opened state, be with each valve closing state in other zones.The transverse axis of figure is represented the time, repeats operation on the direction of time shaft as C operation, A operation, C operation, B operation, C operation.The time that is documented in the top of A~C symbol is the duration of each operation.
Operation A among Fig. 5 is an operation shown in Figure 2, carries out absorption process in the 1st adsorption tank 1, carry out release process in the 2nd adsorption tank 2.
In this operation A, the valve drive signal that supplies in the 1st absorption valve (SV1), the 2nd air bleeding valve (SV4), the 1st outlet valve (SV6) is a clearing signal, and other valves are supplied with shutdown signal.In the 1st adsorption tank 1, the pressurization raw air imported in the bottom of the 1st adsorption tank 1 and carry out absorption process.Along with the rising of raw air pressure P 01, the 1st adsorption tank pressure P 1 also rises.Thereupon, from the raw air adsorb oxygen, nitrogen flows out from groove top, imports in the product groove 3 by outlet valve SV6 by oxygen absorbent.Thereupon, product groove pressure P 3 rises.
The 2nd adsorption tank 2 is depressurized by the 2nd air bleeding valve (SV4), and the 2nd adsorption tank pressure P 2 sharply descends.At this moment, by flow control valve 9, will import to the top of the 2nd adsorption tank 2 from the circulation nitrogen that take out at the top of the 1st adsorption tank 1.By these actions, discharge oxygen and exhaust from oxygen absorbent.
Operation C is a pressure process shown in Figure 3.In this operation, equalizing valve (SV5) is open, other valves cut out.Thereby raw air pressure P 01 rises to the pressure of supplying with from raw air inlet 4.The 1st adsorption tank pressure P 1 descends, and the 2nd adsorption tank pressure P 2 rises, and it is impartial that the pressure of two adsorption tanks becomes.This pressure process from absorption process when release process shifts, gas-pressurized be discharged into the energy loss of bringing the atmosphere carry out in order to reduce.That is, the pressure feed of groove that is transferred to release process in the groove that is transferred to absorption process, is reclaimed the roughly pressurization energy of half.
Process B is an operation shown in Figure 4, carries out release process in the 1st adsorption tank 1, carries out absorption process in the 2nd adsorption tank 2.The action of this moment and the action symmetry among the operation A, the 1st adsorption tank 1 is opposite with operation A with the action in the 2nd adsorption tank 2.That is, in process B, the 2nd absorption valve (SV2), the 1st air bleeding valve (SV3), the 2nd outlet valve (SV7) are supplied with clearing signal, other valves are supplied with shutdown signal, carry out the action same, so omit specific description with operation A.
More than, absorption process and release process clip pressure process and alternately carry out in the 1st adsorption tank 1 and the 2nd adsorption tank 2, produce nitrogen continuously.In addition, if proceed absorption process, the oxygen that then is not adsorbed flows out from the groove top, becomes the state that penetrates (broken Over shape ) of the concentration reduction of nitrogen.Thereby the duration of setting operation A or process B is so that occurring switching adsorption tank before this phenomenon.
(running action in the time of gas generating unit 10a, 10b, 10c)
Then, illustrate gas generating unit 10a shown in Figure 1, the action when 10b, 10c turn round simultaneously with reference to Fig. 6~Fig. 9.In each figure, gas generating unit 10a, 10b, 10c recorded and narrated respectively be unit a, unit b, unit c.The action of each valve in the action when Fig. 6 represents to make Duo Tai unit a~c of Fig. 1 to turn round simultaneously, unit a~c constantly and the product groove pressure P 3 of unit a~c and the variation of gathering product groove pressure P 4.Fig. 7 represent unit a~c each valve action constantly and the variation of each the 2nd adsorption tank pressure P 2.Fig. 8 represent unit a~c each valve action constantly and the variation of each the 1st adsorption tank pressure P 1.Fig. 9 represents to supply to the raw air pressure P 01 among unit a~c and the variation of raw air groove pressure P 0.
Independent the action moment and the pressure of unit a~c among each figure change as shown in Figure 5.On the other hand, the control of control device 13 is set at, and makes the moment of A operation, B operation and C operation among switch unit a~c of Fig. 6~shown in Figure 9 be offset (staggering) for each unit a~c with mutual constant duration.This situation was represented with the time interval between the action constantly of each valve among each figure.In addition, its result, (unit is a), the solid line (unit b) and the single-point line (unit c) of fine rule represent with the double dot dash line among each figure in the skew that the pressure of product groove the 3, the 2nd adsorption tank 2 and the 1st adsorption tank 1 changes.
In the example of Fig. 6~shown in Figure 9, will make up the A operation among each unit a~c or be set at 60 seconds the actuation time after B operation and the C operation.Thereby, from by the beginning of the unit a shown in the double dot dash line (C operation+A operation) after 20 seconds, (the C operation+A operation) of the unit b that beginning is represented by fine line, after 20 seconds, beginning is by the unit c of single-point line expression (C operation+A operation) again.Behind 20 seconds of following, beginning is by (the C operation+B operation) of the unit a shown in the double dot dash line, below same, (the C operation+B operation) of repetitive b, (the C operation+B operation) of unit c.
The pressure of representing with heavy line among Fig. 6 that gathers product groove 12 changes the pressure that combines 3 product grooves 3 and changes.The result gets the amplitude suppressing that changes less as can be known.The pressure variation of the raw air groove of representing with heavy line in Fig. 9 in addition, 11 combines the pressure that supplies to the raw air among unit a~c and changes.The result gets the amplitude suppressing that changes less as can be known.
More than, be set at mutually with the constant duration skew by the moment that the operation of unit a~c is switched, can access following such effect.
In each unit, because the gas that manufactures a product off and on, so product gas is stored in the product groove 3 of storage, pressure regulation is that certain pressure is supplied with.Therefore, can only obtain comparing the product gas of very low pressure with the raw air pressure of being supplied with.In order to supply with the product gas of high pressure by transformation adsorption type gas generating device, need the raw air source of high pressure and the product groove of larger capacity.
With respect to this, as present embodiment, switch many gas generating units by switching instant with constant duration with some cycles, in gathering product groove 12 with the sliced time after certain hour is removed with the platform number of gas generating unit of running at interval of supplying products gas at interval, so as among Fig. 6 by shown in the heavy line, the pressure reduction of gathering in the product groove 12 is less, can access the product gas pressure that approaches raw air pressure.
In addition, in device in the past with single gas generating unit, because raw air soakage and pressure change significantly, so the burden of air compressor is bigger, power consumption, oil consumption are risen, and need the watertight aircase of larger capacity between gas generating unit and air compressor in order to reduce fault rate.
With respect to this, by a plurality of gas generating unit 10a, 10b, 10c are provided with shared raw air groove 11, shortened the time interval to gas generating unit base feed air, so as among Fig. 9 by shown in the heavy line, the change of raw air soakage and pressure is less, does not need jumbo watertight aircase.
The platform number of the running among a plurality of gas generating unit 10a, 10b, the 10c can decide according to the result who has suitably made up raw air detector P0, gathered the detected value of product groove pressure detector P4, nitrogen flow detector F and oxygen concentration detector OC.In the case, the detection that can make each checkout gear is input to the structure that determines the running of the platform number that operating numbers, control are determined in the control device 13, by control device 13.
Perhaps, also can make and possess the display that shows raw air detector P0, gathers the detected value of product groove pressure detector P4, nitrogen flow detector F and oxygen concentration detector OC, the structure of the gas generating unit by 13 runnings of manual operation control device.
As the benchmark of platform number decision, be under the situation of benchmark for example with raw air pressure P 0, the low more operating number that increases of force value.Be under the situation of benchmark to gather product groove pressure P 4, the low more operating number that increases of force value.Be under the situation of benchmark with nitrogen flow F, the big more operating number that increases of flow.Be under the situation of benchmark with oxygen concentration OC, the high more operating number that increases of concentration.Under the situation of the output that is used in combination a plurality of detectors because make which detected value priority scheduling, according to the running actual state of environment and optimal setting difference, set so wait according to the result of trial run.
More than, by output valve the gas generating unit for the required platform number of the setting value that obtains operating condition is turned round, even the product gas amount that consumes increase and decrease also can easily be carried out economical running according to each detector.
In addition, preferably make the structure that possesses the contravariant air compressor that is used for compressing raw air, controls the ability of contravariant air compressor by control device 13 corresponding to the operating number of gas generating unit 10a, 10b, 10c.Thus, can avoid excessively carrying out with respect to operating number the situation of the compression of raw air, be effective for economical running.
