System and oxygen supply method.

The main function of the oxygen supply system is to provide the user with an oxygen-containing gas (hereinafter referred to as an oxygen-containing gas) having a higher oxygen concentration than the surrounding atmosphere for medical or health care purposes. Generally, the concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere is about 20%. If the concentration of oxygen is increased to about 25% to 50%, it will help the user to relieve fatigue and release pressure after intense exercise. Higher oxygen concentrations, such as more than 70%, or pure oxygen, are also commonly used in medical or health care such as respiratory diseases.

As for the method of supplying oxygen-containing gas to a general oxygen supply system, the following are common: (1) Pressure swing adsorption (PSA), which extracts oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere, and absorbs and filters the surrounding atmosphere by a molecular sieve mechanism in the oxygen supply system. The nitrogen in the process is used to increase the oxygen concentration; (2) the electrolysis method is to electrolyze liquid water to produce hydrogen and oxygen, and to take the oxygen portion thereof; (3) to store the oxygen in a liquid state. Store in a cylinder or tank and release it when necessary.

Moreover, the present invention provides a potential balanced oxygen supply method for a potential balanced oxygen supply system, the system comprising: an oxygen-containing gas source for providing an oxygen-containing gas having a higher oxygen concentration than the surrounding atmosphere; a gas conduit connected to the source of the oxygen-containing gas; a respirator coupled to the gas conduit to provide the oxygen-containing gas directly to the user for inhalation; and a conductive member in contact with the body of the user to conduct the a potential of the body of the user; a potential balancer disposed on the source of the oxygen-containing gas to balance the potential; and a wire electrically connecting the conductive member to the potential balancer, wherein the method is characterized in that When the oxygen-containing gas is supplied directly to the user for inhalation, the potential of the body of the user is balanced.
