Description

Device and arrangement for improving indoor air quality

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a device and arrangement structure for improving indoor air quality especially are used for reducing pollutants such as dust, improve indoor weather's device and arrangement structure simultaneously.

Background

The impact of air pollutants on human health cannot take into account only the quality of the outdoor air. The time we spend in a closed room exceeds 80-90% of our life, which makes indoor air quality a decisive factor in evaluating the impact of air pollutants on human health.

It is essential to reduce indoor pollutants while improving indoor climate, especially during the season of high pollutant content, extremely dry air. Indoor is contaminated not only by outside air pollutants but also by organic pollutants from building materials and furniture.

In order to reduce indoor pollutants, attempts have been made to use vertical greening systems, also known as "green walls", plant walls or "moss walls".

For example, KR 100858993B1 discloses an indoor greening system comprising moss. US 20130118070a1 describes a modular system with greenery for purifying air.

With the devices known from the prior art, effective improvement of the indoor air quality is only possible with a relatively high effort and is only achieved to a limited extent.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

The utility model aims at providing a can effectively reduce indoor pollutant, improve the device and the arrangement structure that are used for improving the room air quality of indoor weather simultaneously.

In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides an improve indoor air quality's device, include:

a) a vertical holding device on which at least two carrier groups are arranged, each carrier group having a plurality of planar carriers arranged one above the other in a vertical direction, wherein:

i) each carrier having an upper carrier surface on which a moss layer is arranged and an opposite lower surface, wherein the upper carrier surface is oriented horizontally or inclined in the vertical direction by at most 45 DEG,

ii) in each group of carriers, adjacent planar carriers are spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction such that a free gap is maintained between the moss layer of the planar carrier and the lower surface of the planar carrier lying above it, and

iii) the two carrier groups are spaced apart from each other in the horizontal direction and/or the carriers of the two carrier groups are offset from each other in the vertical direction, such that a channel is formed between the first carrier group and the second carrier group in the vertical direction, and

b) a humidifying device having at least one atomizer arranged and disposed such that atomized water from the at least one atomizer may eventually fall into the passage.

The utility model discloses a device can purify indoor air, can also especially improve indoor weather through air conditioning humidity to play ecological technology air conditioning system's effect. This not only reduces pollutants, but also prevents the "sick building" syndrome.

And simultaneously, the utility model discloses a device can also regard as indoor design's design object. The moss layer, which moistens and purifies the air, can be used to design a moss landscape according to personal tastes.

The device of the utility model eliminates fine dust and other organic air pollutants. Volatile organic compounds released from a variety of sources, including new application materials such as flooring and carpet adhesives, furniture, lacquers, paints and other coatings, are often produced indoors. Contaminants can emanate from insulation, pest control materials, and cleaning agents. These contaminants are reliably bound and degraded by the moss. Besides fine dust, pollen and bacteria in the air can also be fixed on the surface of the moss.

Indoor air is often too dry, especially during the heating season, which can reduce human well-being. The air humidity can be adjusted, for example, by using the sensor control optimization in the device of the invention. The device of the utility model enables the air in each room to be circulated, which also helps to improve the happiness.

The device of the utility model can generate natural and similar atmosphere in forest. Unlike purely technical humidifier/air conditioning devices, live moss provides a pleasant atmosphere similar to that of air in forests. The production of oxygen by photosynthetic carbon dioxide respiration is an added benefit to people indoors.

The device may be arranged separately, for example as a room divider, or on a wall or the like. Furthermore, the present invention provides a plurality of devices that can be modularly assembled into larger units.

The utility model discloses a device can also design the subassembly in "intelligent house". For this purpose, sensors, interfaces, transmission and reception devices, etc. can be provided, by means of which the device according to the invention can be integrated into a corresponding system ("smart home" connection).

The design of the device of the utility model makes the surface of the moss easy to contact with polluted air and light. The device of the utility model omits the plant pot culture or the like, and arranges the moss layer on the basically horizontal or inclined carrier. The carrier can be purged with the air to be cleaned, whereby, for example, fine dust particles can be deposited on the moss bed as a result of the flow and can thus be removed from the air. In addition to better providing the moss layer with air to be cleaned, the device of the present invention is also capable of providing sufficient illumination. Although moss can grow under relatively low light conditions, sufficient light irradiation is critical to moss. Based on the design of the "illumination" aspect, illumination is usually sufficient even without additional light sources. However, additional light sources may be provided if desired.

The device comprises at least two groups of carriers which are arranged on top of each other in the vertical direction, wherein moss layers are covered on the carriers. The carrier groups are arranged relative to each other such that a channel is formed in a vertical direction between the first carrier group and the second carrier group. The channel may extend straight or meandering in a vertical direction around the front side of the carrier. For example, the first carrier group is disposed at intervals from the second carrier group in the horizontal direction, and the channels may be formed. Alternatively or additionally, the channels can also be formed by carriers of two carrier groups being offset from one another in the vertical direction. The channel may be arranged in a central position between the groups of carriers or, for example, for carriers with different sizes, the channel may also be offset to one side. The channels are used to distribute water to the individual carriers, the water being atomized by at least one atomizer and being exhausted in the channels. The atomization of the water causes local cooling by evaporative cooling, the resulting temperature difference providing an air flow through the channels and distributing the water droplets to the carriers. The at least one atomizer may be arranged in the upper part of the device and generate an atomized spray, for example by means of ultrasound or a high-pressure pump. The smallest droplets are about 19-70 μm and do not form larger droplets in the air after evaporation. The favorable indoor climate is created by the atomized spray distributed over the moss.

"improving the air quality" is understood in the present application to mean reducing the air concentration of at least one air pollutant, such as fine dust.

By "planar carrier" is meant a carrier that extends substantially in two dimensions, but extends relatively little in the third dimension. In the context of the present invention, the planar support is preferably rigid and strong and forms a surface on which the moss layer can be disposed. This does not exclude that the carrier or its surface is not flat, e.g. has a curved or curvilinear shape.

The expression "inclined in the vertical direction" of the upper carrier surface means that the carrier is inclined about its longitudinal axis so that the upper moss surface is preferably directed in the direction of the source of pollution or the intended flow direction of the polluted air.

The expression "adjacent carriers are vertically spaced apart from one another so that a free gap is maintained between the moss layer of a carrier and the lower surface of a carrier located thereon" means that adjacent carriers (i.e. carriers located directly above and below one another) are spaced apart so that a free gap (i.e. a gap not occupied by moss) remains between the moss layer of one carrier and the lower surface of a carrier located thereon, air can flow freely over the underlying moss layer and sufficient light can reach the moss layer. The term "on top of each other" in relation to the carriers includes horizontal offsets of the carriers relative to each other, e.g. staircase-like offsets. However, in the context of the present invention, it is preferred when the carriers are located on top of each other and substantially without horizontal offset.

The device of the invention is preferably designed such that the holding device and/or the carrier can accommodate devices for water supply and water distribution, such as lines and atomizers, at the same time. Preferably, the device comprises, for example in its lower part, a collecting container for collecting and storing water that has been atomized or is to be atomized by means of at least one atomizer. Preferably, the water can be recycled in this manner by means of pumps and pipes, wherein the lost water can be added automatically or manually to the moss layer or to the room air. Alternatively, a filter may be integrated into the circuit, which filter may also incorporate fine dust.

Each moss layer may also be provided with a humidity sensor, the signal of which is routed to the humidifying device via a wired or wireless network (e.g. the internet of things). Thus, the humidity of the moss layer is suitable for each situation, and the indoor climate can be adjusted.

As regards the moss layer, there are moss types suitable for indoor use, such as the Dictamnus (L eucobryum).

In a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, the cross-section of the planar carrier is curved, for example S-shaped. By "S-shaped" is meant here a substantially slight S-shape, wherein preferably the carrier is oriented with its front portion forming a trough which is located in the direction of the source of polluted air or primary air flow, and with its rear portion rising upwards. In this way, the carrier is advantageously designed to be able to effectively deposit the contaminants present in the gas flow flowing through the free gap and over the carrier, for example by convection or swirl. However, other shapes of the carrier are also feasible. Furthermore, the carrier preferably has raised walls at least on its front and rear sides, so that in a preferred embodiment the carrier is trough-shaped or cup-shaped.

The support may be inclined up to 45 deg. with the moss surface facing more towards the source of contaminated air. However, the angle of inclination is preferably 40 DEG or less, 30 DEG or less, 20 DEG or less, 15 DEG or less or 10 deg or less.

In a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, the free gap has an average clear height H in the vertical direction of 15-50cm, preferably 20-45cm, more preferably 20-40cm, especially preferably 25-35 cm. The height of the gap is selected so that the air to be cleaned enters the moss layer most unimpeded and optimally and can supply sufficient natural light to the moss layer without artificial illumination.

Preferably, the width of the channel is chosen such that the atomized spray produced by the atomizer can be distributed as far as possible over the entire height of the device with all carriers. For example, the width of the channel may be 5-15 cm, preferably 5-10 cm.

Preferably, the planar carrier is made of a suitable plastic, but may also consist of, for example, stainless steel. The plastic is preferably recycled plastic or easily recycled plastic.

The moss layer may be disposed directly or indirectly on the upper carrier surface. The moss layer can be disposed directly on a suitable upper carrier surface, for example of a porous carrier material. Preferably, however, a substrate layer and a nonwoven layer are provided between the upper carrier surface and the moss layer. The substrate layer is preferably disposed directly on the upper carrier side and the nonwoven layer is disposed directly on the substrate layer and under the moss layer. The non-woven layer is preferably designed such that cellular threads (rhizoids) of the moss can protrude through the non-woven layer and find the carrier. Furthermore, it is preferred that the matrix layer has the greatest possible water retention capacity. Preferably, the matrix layer is made of an organic material (e.g., coconut palm), a mineral material (e.g., clay particles), or a bio-plastic that is durable for as long as possible but is biocompatible.

In the device of the present invention, vascular plants are preferably not used, except for moss. Therefore, in the device of the utility model, the vascular plants do not need to be additionally arranged in the moss layer.

Particularly preferably, the planar carrier is detachably connected to the holding device, so that the carrier can be detached separately. For this purpose, for example, quick release means, such as a bayonet lock (bayonet lock) or the like, can be provided. In this way, individual carriers having moss layers can be easily removed and replaced if necessary.

In a further preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, the holding device is designed such that the distance between the planar carriers can be adjusted relative to one another. For this purpose, fastening means can be provided in a specific grid on the holding device, by means of which the carrier can be fastened to the holding device. In this way, for example, the number of carriers and the carrier spacing can be adjusted to the respective use position or the respective use situation. Of course, after installation, adjustments can still be made in this way.

In a further preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, the holding device is further provided with a lighting device, by means of which the moss layer can be illuminated on the carrier, preferably the lighting device comprises L ED emitting light which is particularly suitable for the moss used.

More preferably, the apparatus further comprises means for circulating indoor air. The air circulation means is arranged and designed such that during operation thereof, indoor air passes through the moss layer on the carrier. For example, the air circulation means (e.g. a fan) may be arranged in a lower part of the device, such as in a water collecting container, where it sucks in room air, which is transported, for example, through a duct arranged at one side of the device to an outflow opening arranged at an upper part of the device. The outlet angle of the outflow opening can be adjusted so that an optimum circulating air flow can be generated in the room. The air flow generated by the operation of the air circulation device can also ensure better circulation of the indoor air.

Preferably, the air circulation device comprises an air filter unit having an air filter, wherein the air filter unit is arranged and designed such that during operation of the air circulation device indoor air passes through the moss layer on the carrier and through the air filter. Preferably, the air filter is a particulate filter, preferably having a total degree of separation of at least 99.95% for particles of 0.1 to 0.3 μm, for example a HEPA filter with a filtration rating of H13 or H14 according to european union standard EN 1822-1: 2009. Thus, the indoor air can be cleaned and renewed through the moss layer, and particles of pollen, microorganisms, dust and the like can be removed through the air filter.

In addition to the air filter, the air filter unit may also comprise, for example, a UV lamp, which may kill microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and spores with ultraviolet light. The UV lamp may also prevent the air filter from growing microorganisms. In addition, the air filter unit may also have an activated carbon filter, an ionizer (ionizer), and/or an ozone generator.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 is a simplified side view of an embodiment of the device 1 according to the invention, the embodiment shown here comprising a rack-like holding device 2 for two

carrier groups

30, 31, each having six planar carriers 3 arranged one above the other in a vertical direction, which are S-shaped in cross section and are oriented in a substantially horizontal direction. The holding device 2 may consist of stainless steel or high-quality plastic, for example. Each of the planar carriers 3 is configured to be elongated and extend in the longitudinal direction in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The carrier 3 is connected to the vertical part of the holding means 2 by quick release means (not shown in detail). The carriers 3 of the first carrier group 30 are arranged offset in the vertical direction with respect to the carriers 3 of the second carrier group 31. A moss layer 5 is provided on the upper carrier surface 4 of each carrier 3, and a non-woven fabric layer 8 and a substrate layer 9 (not shown in fig. 1) are provided between the moss layer 5 and the upper carrier surface 4 (see fig. 5). The device 1 can be freely arranged, for example, indoors. The first carrier group 30 and the second carrier group 31 are arranged opposite each other on the holding device 2 such that the front side 10 of the carriers 3 of the first carrier group 30 is directed towards the front side 10 of the carriers 3 of the second carrier group 31. The carriers 3 are spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction forming a free gap 7 of height H, through which gap 7 air can flow freely. In addition, the

carrier groups

30, 31 are horizontally spaced from one another so as to form a vertically extending channel 16 therebetween. Due to the S-shaped cross-section of the carrier 3, recesses or grooves 12 and elevations 13 are formed. Thus, the deposition of pollutants, in particular fine dust, in the air flowing over the support 3 on the moss layer 5 is improved. The walls of the carrier 3 are raised at the

front sides

10, 11, so that the cross-section of the carrier 3 is substantially U-shaped. The device 1 has a humidifying device 14 for humidifying the moss layer 5. The humidifying device 14 is only schematically shown in the figures and may comprise tubes 17, which tubes 17 may for example be accommodated in a holder of the holding device 2 or fixed on the holding device 2. The tube 17 itself may also form part of the holding device 2, for example a carrier 3 support. The tube 17 may be partially perforated and suitable for transporting water. However, in the embodiment shown in the figures, at least one atomizer 15 is arranged in the upper part of the device 1, i.e. above the carriers 3 of both

carrier groups

30, 31, by means of which atomizer water can be atomized into a spray. The droplets may then be distributed along the channel 16 and over the support 3 or evaporated into the air to keep the moss layer 5 of the support moist. This distribution of the water droplets is achieved by means of an air flow, which can be generated either by means of a device (not shown) alone or by means of a temperature difference created by evaporative cooling during the atomization of the water. The humidity sensor 20, which is used to measure the humidity in the moss layer 5 or its surrounding environment, is part of a control system (not shown) for supplying water to the moss layer 5. The water from the atomiser 15 which is not absorbed by the moss layer 5 is collected in a collecting container 19 which also serves as a water reservoir and is recirculated to the atomiser 15, for example by means of a pump 18 and a pipe 17. The arrangement of the atomiser 15 is shown by way of example only. Furthermore, it is of course also possible for the device 1 of the invention to be provided with further atomizers 15, for example directly above one or more carriers 3.

Fig. 2 is a simplified side view of the device 1 according to the invention in another embodiment, in which the carriers 3 are inclined in the vertical direction, for which purpose the curved carriers 3 in the embodiment shown here have an S-shaped cross section, the carriers 3 being inclined at an angle α about their longitudinal axis with respect to the horizontal, so that the inwardly directed front sides 10 of the carriers 3 of each

carrier group

30, 31 are considerably higher than the outwardly directed front sides 11, the inner front sides 10 of the carriers 3 being opposite one another without vertical offset, a channel 16 extending in the vertical direction being provided in this embodiment, along which channel 16 water droplets from the atomizer 15 fall towards a collecting container 19, being swirled on the way by the air flow and depositing on the moss layer 5, and the undeposited water also being collected in the collecting container 19 and then being conveyed back to the atomizer.

Fig. 3 is a simplified side view of an alternative embodiment of the inventive device 1, wherein the carriers 3 of the first carrier group 30 and the carriers 3 of the second carrier group 31 are inclined with respect to the horizontal plane about their longitudinal axes by the same angle, but are vertically offset with respect to each other.

Fig. 4 is a simplified side view of a further embodiment of the inventive device 1, in which the carriers 3 of the first carrier group 30 and the carriers 3 of the second carrier group 31 are inclined with respect to the horizontal about their longitudinal axes, are offset from one another in the vertical direction, and are arranged partially overlapping. In the present embodiment, the passage 16 is arranged meandering in the vertical direction as indicated by the arrow. In this embodiment, an air circulation device 21 comprising an air filter unit with a HEPA filter is schematically shown in the collecting container 19, which can provide or at least contribute to sucking in and guiding the indoor air over the moss carriers 3. The room air then passes through the HEPA filter and is released back into the room. For example, the indoor air can be led through a respective duct 23 to an outlet opening 22 in the upper part of the device 1, from which outlet opening the indoor air is again discharged. Thus, the indoor air can be cleaned by the moss layer 5 and the HEPA filter.

Fig. 5 is a simplified spatial view of the inventive device in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, however, in comparison with fig. 1, only five carriers 3 are shown per

carrier group

30 and 31. For a clearer illustration, the front of the holding device 2 is shown transparent. The carrier 3 is shown as an approximately square surface. However, it is preferred when the carrier 3 extends longer in the longitudinal direction, i.e. in a direction parallel to the

front sides

10, 11, and provides a larger surface. The holding device 2, which is schematically shown in a simplified manner in the figures, can be constructed more complex and can comprise other means than the means for fixing the carrier 3, for example means for fixing other components of the humidifying device 14 for supplying water to the moss bed or control means for controlling the supply of water. Shown is a simplified air circulation device 21 comprising an air filter unit (outlet opening 22 and duct 23 leading to outlet opening 22 are not shown) located within collection container 19, which can be used for additional cleaning of the air and to facilitate circulation of the room air. The air circulation means 21 is arranged and designed such that during operation thereof it directs an indoor air flow to the carrier 3 through the moss layer 5, which air flow is then directed through an air filter, preferably a HEPA filter, in the air filter unit.

Fig. 6 shows a cross-sectional view of the carrier 3 of the device of the invention in a preferred embodiment and an enlarged view of the front area of the carrier 3. The carrier 3 consists of a plastic plate with an S-shaped cross section with raised walls at the

front sides

10, 11. A substrate layer 9, for example made of coconut coir, is arranged on the upper carrier surface 4, and a nonwoven layer 8, which is made of plastic, like the carrier 3, is arranged on the substrate layer 9. The non-woven fabric layer 8 is used for better anchoring the moss layer 5. The carrier 3 is provided with a humidity sensor 20, and the humidity sensor 20 passes through the carrier 3, the substrate layer 9 and the non-woven fabric layer 8 to reach the moss layer 5 to measure the water content in the moss layer. The measured values are transmitted by means of a line (not shown) or by radio to a controller, by means of which the moss bed 5 is irrigated and a pump, also not shown. It is also possible to provide a humidifying device, such as an atomizer, on the carrier.

Fig. 7 shows a simplified front view of the arrangement 100 of the invention in an embodiment. For the sake of clarity, only the carriers 3 of one of the

carrier groups

30, 31 are shown in the figure. The S-shaped carrier 3 (left) in the first device 1 of the invention is arranged substantially horizontally, so that the outer front side 11 and the part of the carrier 3 with the elevations 13 can be seen. The other device 1 is located to the right of the first device 1. The atomizer 15 of the humidifying device 14 is mounted behind the cover and is not visible here.
