った。2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, oxygen therapy for providing oxygen-enriched gas to patients with respiratory diseases, particularly oxygen therapy at home, has been regarded as a medical oxygen concentrator for the past several years and has become popular. . As a result, they were released from hospitalization due to oxygen therapy at home, and many people returned to social life, such as going out, traveling, or working at a company.

者の行動範囲が限定されていた。When an oxygen concentrator is used, it is common to connect a nasal cannula called an oxygen cannula to the device to continuously send a constant flow of oxygen-enriched gas to a patient. Also, the device is generally installed at home, so no special consideration was given to the weight and size of the device, and it was impossible for the patient to use it when going out. Instead, portable small high-pressure oxygen cylinders and portable small liquid oxygen cylinders are often used when patients go out. However, the amount of oxygen in these oxygen cylinders is limited, and cylinders on the go are limited. Since it cannot be refilled, the available time is limited by the amount of oxygen used, and the range of activity of the patient is limited.

In addition, a storage tank (4) is attached to the middle of each adsorption column and above the compressor, and a solenoid valve (3) is attached to the front lower portion of each adsorption column. Each component may be directly attached to the housing.However, if a framework for mounting each component is provided inside the housing and a compressor, adsorption cylinder, solenoid valve, storage tank, etc. are directly attached to the framework, it is more wasteful. It is more preferable because the space is reduced. The compressor may be attached to the housing or frame by screwing or riveting.
Other components may be attached in any manner as long as they do not come off during use, but a detachable system is preferable in consideration of maintenance.
