  • Patent number: 8636838
    Abstract: To provide an oxygen concentrator that can reduce pressure loss when suctioning raw air and that can increase the amount of suctioned raw air by an amount of reduction in pressure loss, and moreover that can reduce noise without significantly changing a basic structure of a compressor. The oxygen concentrator includes: a compressor that has a plurality of suction ports suctioning raw air and that generates compressed air by compressing suctioned raw air; a conduit through which the compressed air is sent; a silencer that has a suction side end introducing the raw air and a discharge side end discharging the raw air, with the silencer being connected with the conduit; and a plurality of connection conduits directly connecting the discharge side end of the silencer and the respective suction ports of the compressor.

  • Publication number: 20130299005
    Abstract: An overheating detection unit is attached between an oxygen concentrator and a cannula, making it possible to reliably detect a high-temperature environment to cut the supply of oxygen when a user inhales oxygen using the cannula and is exposed to a fire or an abnormal high-temperature environment. An overheating detection unit includes a main body including a connecting member connected to an oxygen outlet and an oxygen outlet portion connected to a tube and also includes a housing covering the main body. The main body includes a temperature sensor in the oxygen outlet portion to detect the temperature of the oxygen outlet portion and a blocking structure portion that blocks a passage between the connecting member and the oxygen outlet portion to cut the supply of oxygen when the temperature sensor detects a temperature equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature.

  • Patent number: 8443713
    Abstract: Disclosed is a small rotary cylinder device wherein friction loss is reduced and energy is conserved by reducing effects of a reaction force applied from cylinders to pistons, which is incorporated in a piston composite body and which linearly reciprocates, the piston composite body being eccentrically connected to a first crank shaft rotating about a shaft. Guide bearings (1c) guide linear reciprocation of first and second piston assemblies (7, 8) attached to second tube bodies (6b), which are caused by rotating a first crank shaft (5) about a shaft (4) and rotating a piston composite body (P) about the first crank shaft (5), in the radial direction of a rolling circle of second imaginary crank shafts (14a, 14b), which has a radius 2r and which is centered at the shaft (4).

  • Publication number: 20130008438
    Abstract: To provide an oxygen concentrator that can ensure safety by interrupting oxygen in a case where the oxygen concentrator is exposed to fire or an abnormal high-temperature environment when a user thereof is inhaling oxygen with a cannula. The oxygen concentrator includes: a compressor separating compressed air by compressing raw air; an oxygen outlet for discharging oxygen acquired from the compressed air; a coupler mounted on a tube of a cannula and removably connecting the tube to the oxygen outlet, and moreover having a temperature sensor; and a control unit stopping operation of the compressor to interrupt the supply of oxygen when a temperature sensed by the temperature sensor reaches a predetermined temperature or higher.

  • Publication number: 20120020815
    Abstract: Provided is a compressor, and an oxygen concentrator, that achieve low noise by which the noise does not leak directly to the exterior upon generation of compressed air through suction of raw air, and that allow reducing power consumption of a driving motor. A compressor has a case section; a driving motor provided in the case section and having an output shaft; head sections operated by the rotation of the output shaft of the driving motor and that suck and compress raw air to generate thereby compressed air; a raw air intake section that is provided at the output shaft and that takes in the raw air into the head sections as a result of the rotation of the output shaft and that supplies the raw air towards the head sections; and a pressure regulation section that regulates the pressure within the case section upon suction of the raw air and upon discharge of the generated compressed air.
