1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to a split-type controlling device for producing oxygen and delivering air, especially to the device that allows an outdoor unit to produce oxygen and delivers the oxygen to indoor units, so that an indoor space could be full of oxygen. 
       2. DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART 
       [0002]    An R.O.C. patent No. 566521 discloses “A SPLIT AIR CONDITIONER PROVIDING OXYGEN AND PURIFICATION”. Wherein, an outdoor unit has an oxygen enrichment device to produce oxygen of high concentration. The oxygen is further delivered to a heat exchanger installed in an indoor unit by a pipe, so that the oxygen that contains high temperature and rich moisture is further processed and thence delivered to an indoor space. Accordingly, the indoor space is provided with high oxygen content. 
         [0003]    Afore disclosures have shortcomings as follows: 
         [0004]    1. The oxygen enrichment device is a subordinate device to the air conditioner. Namely, there is no exclusive and proper pipe arrangement for delivering oxygen, and there is no controlling module. Accordingly, the oxygen is unsuitably delivered. 
         [0005]    2. Referring to  FIG. 5  of afore disclosure, an oxygen enrichment module of the oxygen enrichment device utilizes an oxygen enrichment membrane to execute a separation of oxygen over nitrogen. Through the molecule membrane, the air is produced with less than 30% oxygen content. Herein, if the air with less than 30% oxygen content is released in the indoor space, it is in fact not helpful to enhance the oxygen content in the indoor space. 
         [0006]    3. The air conditioner of the disclosure does not filter the outdoor air first and then deliver clean air to the oxygen enrichment device for generating oxygen. Accordingly, the oxygen provided by the oxygen enrichment device is not clean enough. As a result, the air quality indoors is influenced. 
         [0007]    4. The oxygen flow generated in accordance with the oxygen enrichment membrane is less than 10 liters per minute. Obviously, the oxygen flow is unsatisfactory for enhancing the oxygen content indoors. 
         [0008]    5. The oxygen generated in the disclosure does not go through a dehydration process. The oxygen is directly delivered to the indoor unit. Wherein, the pipe easily gathers moss in view of humidity. As a result, the oxygen quality is influenced, and the maintenance of the device and the pipe becomes difficult. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0009]    A split-type controlling device for producing oxygen and delivering air in accordance with the present invention comprises an outdoor unit having an air purification unit, an oxygen condenser, and a molecule sieve that are orderly connected by a pipe; a plurality of indoor units being connected to the molecule sieve through the pipe; each of the indoor units having an oxygen outlet, and an oxygen sensor disposed near the oxygen outlet; and a control panel having a controlling unit; the controlling unit being electrically connected to the outdoor unit and the indoor units so as to control an operation of the outdoor unit and the indoor units; the controlling unit allowing oxygen generated by the outdoor unit to be output from the oxygen outlet of one of the indoor units. 
         [0010]    Advantages over the present invention are as follows: 
         [0011]    1. The present invention allows a single outdoor unit to be set correspondingly to multiple indoor units. Moreover, the pipe is arranged properly for each indoor unit to be placed in different rooms. Whereby, a supplying mode and a supplying position of the oxygen could be controlled by the control panel, thence conducing to an exclusive device for producing oxygen and delivering the same. 
         [0012]    2. When the separation of oxygen over nitrogen in the air is executed by the molecule sieve, the oxygen of high concentration that contains 40% to 50% oxygen could be produced. The flow is also promoted to 40 litters to 50 litters per minute. Accordingly, if such oxygen of high concentration is released in the indoor space, the oxygen content indoors is obviously encouraged. 
         [0013]    3. External air is efficiently filtered; therefore, the device produces clean oxygen. 
         [0014]    4. The oxygen content can reach to 90% for emergent patients while emergency. 
         [0015]    5. The split-type design keeps the indoor space quiet. When Pythoncidere is provided, the air quality indoors is even better. 
         [0016]    6. When the control panel is applied for users to choose a manual mode, users are able to manually turn on the outdoor unit as well as the oxygen outlet of any one of the indoor units. Accordingly, the controlling device is more suited to the need of users with economical electricity. 
         [0017]    7. When the control panel is further applied for users to choose a semi-automatic mode or an automatic mode, a single controlling means or a united controlling means is accessible. When the single controlling means is adopted, the oxygen sensor automatically enhances or reduces the oxygen concentration according to a predetermined value. When the united controlling means is adopted, a detecting receiver is able to detect and receive a location signal from an emitter. Accordingly, when users approach any detecting receiver, the outdoor unit is automatically turned on so as to produce oxygen. Thereby, the indoor unit set in accordance with where the users stay allows its oxygen outlet to release oxygen. These modes are especially economical of electricity. Moreover, the controlling device for producing oxygen is further intelligent.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       [0023]    Referring to  FIG. 1 , a split-type controlling device for producing oxygen and delivering air comprises: 
         [0024]    an outdoor unit  1  being installed outdoors; the outdoor unit  1  having an air purification unit  11 , an exsiccator  12 , a catalyst sterilization unit  13 , an oxygen condenser  14 , and a molecule sieve  15  that are orderly connected by a pipe  2 ; 
         [0025]    at least one indoor unit  3  being installed indoors; the indoor unit  3  being connected to the molecule sieve  15  through the pipe  2 ; each of the indoor units  3  having a flow controlling unit  31 , a humidifying and Pythoncidere unit  32 , an oxygen outlet  33 , a flow sensor  34 , an oxygen sensor  35  that are connected to the indoor unit  3 ; and 
         [0026]    a control panel  4  having a controlling unit  41 ; the controlling unit  41  being connected to the outdoor unit  1  and the indoor unit  3  so as to control an operation of the outdoor unit  1  and the indoor unit  3 . 
         [0027]    Wherein, the outdoor unit  1  allows external air to enter the air purification unit  11 . Herein, the air purification unit  11  provides three filtering means. A piece of filter paper  111  blocks heavy metal or large dust particles in the air first. Then, a bamboo charcoal filter  112  deodorizes, dehydrates, and filters the air. Next, a nano-silver filter  113  utilizes the nano-silver to achieve antiseptic, deodorized, and anticorrosive functions. Accordingly, by means of the three filters, cleaner air is easily obtainable. 
         [0028]    The air that is purified by the air purification unit  11  enters the exsiccator  12  via the oxygen condenser  14 , so that moisture contained in the air is eliminated. Subsequently, the dehydrated air enters the catalyst sterilization unit  13  for being processed with photo catalyst or low-temperature catalyst. Herein, both the photo catalyst and the low-temperature catalyst have a high-efficiency broad spectrum. Therefore, such catalysts are good for sterilization and disinfection. 
         [0029]    Further, the sterilized air enters the molecule sieve  15 . Herein, the nitrogen whose particle size is larger is blocked from the molecule sieve  15 . As to the oxygen, the molecule sieve does not block it since the oxygen has a smaller particle size. Therefore, the oxygen continues going forward for resulting in oxygen of high concentration. In this embodiment, there are twelve molecule sieve tubes defined on the molecule sieve  15  for respectively and orderly producing the oxygen of high concentration. As a result, the oxygen with a high flow rate and high concentration is available. 
         [0030]    The indoor unit  3  carries the oxygen via the pipe  2 , controls the flow rate via the flow controlling unit  31 , and monitors the flow rate via the flow sensor  34 . The humidifying and Pythoncidere unit  32  is utilized for adjusting relative humidity in the indoor space. Namely, the humidifying and Pythoncidere unit  32  could be switched to a slight mode, a medium mode, or a heavy mode. Moreover, under a certain temperature, the relative humidity should be maintained between 40% and 60%. To do so, a fine spray for increasing humidity enters the pipe  2 , the fine spray further mixes with the oxygen, and the oxygen containing moisture is released by means of the oxygen outlet  33  to the indoor space. 
         [0031]    Additionally, there is an air hole along with an oil can defined on the humidifying and Pythoncidere unit  32 . Whereby, when the oxygen is carried to the air hole, the smell of Pythoncidere is also released to the indoor space. While an emergent oxygen pipe  36  is provided on one indoor unit  3 , the oxygen content can reach to 90% for emergent patients in time of emergency. 
         [0032]    Referring to  FIG. 2 , the control panel  4  includes a controlling unit  41  that provides a manual mode  411 , a semi-automatic mode  412 , and an automatic mode  413 . The manual mode  411  has a first switch  4111  for the outdoor unit and five second switches  4112  for the oxygen outlets. The semi-automatic mode  412  has a first switch  4121  for the outdoor unit, five second switches  4122  for the oxygen outlets, a single controlling switch  4123 , and a united controlling switch  4124 . The automatic mode  413  has a first switch  4131  for the outdoor unit, five second switches  4132  for the oxygen outlets, a single controlling switch  4133 , and a united controlling switch  4134 . The control panel  4  further includes a transceiver  414 , which is electrically connected to the switches correlated to the manual mode  411 , the semi-automatic mode  412 , and the automatic mode  413 , and an emitter  5  disposed correspondingly to the transceiver  414 . In this embodiment, the emitter  5  adopts a remote control that generates a selective signal to the transceiver  414 , thereby allowing the manual mode  411 , the semi-automatic mode  412 , or the automatic mode  413  to be adopted. Afore design allows users to freely choose their desiring mode by manual or by remote operation. 
         [0033]    Referring to  FIGS. 1 and 3 , the control panel  4  is installed in a storeroom A. The five indoor units  3  with their respective oxygen outlets  33  are placed in a living room B, a master bedroom C, a first bedroom D, a second bedroom E, and a dinning room/kitchen F. When the control panel  4  is just turned on by either the manual operation or the remote operation, and when no mode is adopted, the oxygen produced by the outdoor unit  1  will be output by the oxygen outlet  33  from the indoor unit  3  in the living room B. When users choose the single controlling switches  4123 ,  4133  of the semi-automatic mode  412  or the automatic mode  413 , the oxygen sensor  35  connected to the indoor unit  3  is accordingly triggered. Basically, the oxygen content of the air is about 20.6% to 20.9%. Indoors, the preferred oxygen content of the air is 21% to 30%. Herein, the controlling unit  41  is able to set appropriate maximum and minimum of the oxygen content. Additionally, when the oxygen sensor  35  senses, a feedback signal is transmitted to the controlling unit  41 , so that the accordant oxygen outlet  33  gives oxygen to the indoor space. The control panel  4  provides two options for setting the oxygen content. The first option is to set the oxygen content for health care. Herein, the oxygen content of the first option is similar to the oxygen content of a green shower in nature. Namely, the oxygen sensor  35  helps maintain the oxygen concentration between 21% and 24%, which is suited to normal people. The second option is to set the oxygen content for medical care. Herein, the oxygen concentration in this option is maintained between 24% and 30%, which is suited to patients having pathological hypoxia. Once either option is decided, the oxygen sensor  35  emits a signal to the controlling unit  41  for switching on the flow controlling unit  31  to give oxygen when the oxygen concentration is below the minimum. If the oxygen concentration is over the maximum, the oxygen is not supplied. Accordingly, the automatic mode is achieved. 
         [0034]    Referring to  FIG. 4 , when users turn on the united controlling switches  4123 ,  4134  of the semi-automatic mode  412  and the automatic mode  413 , both the oxygen sensor  35  and a detecting receiver  37  are concurrently triggered. Accordingly, the detecting receiver  37  detects and receives a location signal from the emitter  5  for automatically turning on or turning off the oxygen outlets  33  in the rooms, which is more economical of electricity. 
         [0035]    Referring to  FIG. 5 , each of the indoor units  3  includes an electroencephalogram detector  38  for detecting electroencephalogram of human body indoors and transforming an α value and a β value of the electroencephalogram to electronic signals. Since human body generates different electroencephalograms while receiving diverse oxygen concentration, it could be easily realized that if the present oxygen concentration is suited to the human body. Whereby, the control panel  4  adjusts the output oxygen concentration in accordance with the electronic signals. Therefore, the oxygen concentration indoors is indeed suited to human body.
