The arrangement of ducts 110 and 120 associated with air supply devices 10 and ducts 210 and 220 associated with air exhaust devices may be tailored to the specific indoor structure, which ducts are only schematically represented in fig. 1, but those skilled in the art will appreciate that the routing of ducts in a specific implementation is more complex.

In addition, fig. 1 illustrates a ducted dual flow-direction fresh air system, however, the technical solution of the present disclosure may be applied to various types of fresh air systems, and is not limited to the fresh air system illustrated in fig. 1.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an air supply arrangement of a fresh air system according to one embodiment. For ease of explanation, air supply apparatus 10 of fig. 2 is given the same reference numerals as air supply apparatus 10 of fig. 1.

As shown in fig. 2, the air supply apparatus 10 has a housing 100, and the housing 100 is provided with an air supply outlet 115 and an air inlet 125. The housing 100 may have various shapes such as a cylinder, an elliptic cylinder, or a prism having a rectangular, square, polygonal, or the like cross section. In a typical configuration, air inlet 125 and air outlet 115 are provided at both ends of casing 100, which is, for example, a column, respectively, air inlet 125 is connected to air inlet duct 120 shown in fig. 1, and air outlet 115 is connected to air supply duct 110 shown in fig. 1, so that one end of an air supply system including air inlet duct 120, air-sending device 10, and air supply duct 110 is connected to the outside of the room, and the other end is connected to the inside of the room.

The air supply apparatus 10 of the fresh air system further includes a fan 130 and a filter assembly 140.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the fresh air system may include components other than those shown in fig. 1 and 2, may not include some of the components shown in fig. 1 and 2, and the air supply device may include components other than those shown in fig. 2, or may not include some of the components shown in fig. 2. The technical scheme of the present disclosure is not limited to the specific implementation of the fresh air system and the specific structure of each component in the fresh air system.

FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic view of a fresh air system equipped with an air augmentation component, according to one embodiment. For ease of illustration, components in fig. 3 that correspond to those in fig. 1 and 2 are identified with the same reference numerals.

As shown in fig. 3, a connection pipe member 130 may be disposed between the supply opening 115 and the supply duct 110 of the air supply device 10 of the fresh air system. The connecting fitting 130 may be, for example, a tee fitting, the tee fitting 130 having three nozzles, a first nozzle connected to the supply air outlet 115 of the air supply apparatus 10, a second nozzle connected to the supply air duct 110, and a third nozzle connected to the air improving assembly 30. In some embodiments, tee fitting 130 may have various shapes as long as it is capable of communicating with supply outlet 115 of air supply apparatus 10, supply tube 110, and air enhancement assembly 30. In some embodiments, the connecting tube 130 may also be integrated on the blower tube 110, the integrated connecting tube 130 having a nozzle for connecting the assembly 30 for improving air. In some embodiments, the first nozzle of the connecting pipe member 130 is not necessarily directly connected to the air supply outlet 115 of the air supply apparatus 10, and in a specific implementation, the connecting pipe member 130 may be installed at any position on the air supply pipe 110 according to the need of pipeline layout, for example, the first and second nozzles of the connecting pipe member 130 may be connected to the air supply pipe 110 at any position on the air supply pipe 110, thereby allowing the module 30 to be communicated to the air supply pipe 110 through the third nozzle of the connecting pipe member 130.

The assembly for improving air 30 may include a container unit 310 for containing an agent for improving air 3105. The air generated by the agent can be released from the assembly 30 into the supply duct 110 to be supplied into the room with fresh air by means of the power of the air supply device 10, thereby further improving the air in the room.

In some embodiments, the improvement in air may include, but is not limited to, the effects of sterilization, disinfection, odor elimination, and fragrancing of room air with the gas produced by the medicament in assembly 30. For example, a filter assembly in an air supply device of a fresh air system can filter some magazines in air, but may not be effective for some germs and odors in the air. For another example, users have personalized demands for indoor air smell, and the traditional fresh air system cannot meet the personalized demands. It is an object of embodiments of the present disclosure to further improve indoor air quality by means of a fresh air system, meeting user needs for sterilization, disinfection, deodorization, etc. of the air, and user personalized needs for comfort of the indoor air; another object of the present disclosure is to allow a user to conveniently maintain a system for improving air.

In some embodiments, chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas may be utilized to achieve sterilization, disinfection, and odor elimination of room air. A large number of experimental researches show that chlorine dioxide is a safe and nontoxic disinfectant, when the concentration of chlorine dioxide used is lower than 500ppm (parts per million), the influence on a human body can be ignored, and when the concentration of chlorine dioxide is lower than 100ppm, the chlorine dioxide cannot generate any influence on the human body. In fact, chlorine dioxide is conventionally used at concentrations well below 500ppm, typically only around a few tens of ppm. Therefore, chlorine dioxide is also internationally recognized as a safe, non-toxic, green disinfectant. Meanwhile, the chlorine dioxide is a broad-spectrum and high-efficiency sterilizing agent. Many studies have shown that chlorine dioxide can kill many pathogenic bacteria such as E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus at very low concentrations (0.1 ppm). Even if the microorganism is interfered by organic substances, the microorganism can be completely killed when the concentration is tens of ppm. Besides the sterilization and disinfection effects, the chlorine dioxide also has good deodorization effect. It can be dehydrated with odor substances (such as H2S, -SOH, -NH2, etc.) and can rapidly oxidize and convert the odor substances into other substances, thereby effectively removing the odor in the air.

In some embodiments, the medicant provided in the container 310 of the assembly 30 can include a chlorine dioxide slow release agent 3105. The chlorine dioxide slow-release agent 3105 can slowly release chlorine dioxide gas, and the chlorine dioxide gas is fed into the air supply pipe 110 by the fresh air flow fed into the air supply pipe 110 by the air supply device 10 after entering the air supply pipe 110, and is efficiently fed into every corner of a room, so that the indoor air can be efficiently sterilized, disinfected and deodorized.

In some embodiments, the chlorine dioxide slow release agent 3105 includes, but is not limited to, a solid disinfectant, such as a gel disinfectant, formed by drying sodium chlorite and a solid acid (e.g., citric acid, tartaric acid, oxalic acid, etc.) and mixing them in a certain ratio. In some embodiments, the chlorine dioxide slow release agent 3105 generates chlorine dioxide gas for disinfection when it contacts moisture in the air. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that although chlorine dioxide is exemplified as the disinfectant or sanitizing gas in the examples, other disinfectants for disinfection, sanitization, and odor elimination are also suitable for use in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the slow release agent 3105 includes a slow release agent 3105 for releasing other sterilizing substances, not limited to a chlorine dioxide slow release agent.

In some embodiments, fragrancing of indoor air may be achieved with a fragrant gas. For example, the medicant provided in the container 310 of the assembly 30 can include an essential oil or an essential oil slow release agent 3105. The user can select the essential oil or the essential oil slow-release agent 3105 with certain taste or efficacy according to the preference, the essential oil or the essential oil slow-release agent 3105 can slowly release aromatic gas, and after the aromatic gas enters the blast pipe 110, the fresh air flow sent into the blast pipe 110 by the air supply device 10 is efficiently sent into each corner of a room, so that the indoor air can be efficiently flavored.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the medicant 3105 contained in the container 310 of the assembly 30 includes the chlorine dioxide slow release agent, the essential oil, or the essential oil slow release agent described above, and is not limited to the above examples, and the medicant 3105 contained in the container 310 of the assembly 30 can include any suitable medicant for generating a gas having an improved air action. For example, the medicament 3105 may include a medicament for releasing pyrethrin, and the like.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic view of an air enhancement assembly for a fresh air system, according to one embodiment. For ease of illustration, components in fig. 4 corresponding to those in fig. 1 to 3 are identified by the same reference numerals.

As shown in fig. 4, the air improving assembly 30 may include a container 310, the container 310 for containing a medicament 3105 for improving air. As mentioned above, the air improvement includes, but is not limited to, sterilization, disinfection, deodorization, and flavoring of the air, and the agent includes, but is not limited to, a slow-release agent capable of releasing a gas or substance for improving the air, such as a chlorine dioxide slow-release agent, an essential oil slow-release agent, and the like.

The assembly 30 may include an opening and closing unit 320, the opening and closing unit 320 being located at the opening of the container 310 to open or close the opening of the container 310. The opening and closing unit 320 may also be referred to as a cover structure, which may include various cover structures for opening and closing the container 310. As described above, the slow-release agent 3105 in the container 310 can release gas for improving indoor air, such as chlorine dioxide gas, when it comes into contact with the air in the blast pipe 110. For convenience of description, chlorine dioxide gas is hereinafter used as an example to represent the gas generated by sustained release agent 3105. By controlling the opening and closing of the lid structure 320, the release of chlorine dioxide gas from the slow release agent 3105 can be controlled.

The assembly 30 may include a motor unit 330, and the motor unit 330 is connected to the container 310 or the opening and closing unit 320 to drive the opening or closing of the opening and closing unit 320. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, although not depicted in fig. 4, the connection of the electric unit 330 with the container 310 or the opening and closing unit 320 may be a direct connection or a connection through a transmission mechanism. Although the electric unit 330 of fig. 4 is depicted as being connected to the container 310, in some embodiments, the electric unit 330 may also be connected to the opening and closing unit 320. The electrical unit 330 is electrically powered and is connected to a power source (not shown), which may be either an onboard power source within the assembly 30 or an external power source external to the assembly 30.

The assembly 30 may comprise a duct adapter 340, the duct adapter 340 being used for connection with the ventilation duct 110 of the fresh air system. Referring to fig. 3, the duct fitting 340 may be fitted with a nozzle provided by the connection pipe 130 for communicating the assembly 30 with the ventilation duct 110. The pipe adapter 340 may be connected to the corresponding nozzle of the connecting tube 130 using any suitable means known in the art. In some embodiments, in the example shown in fig. 4, the duct adapter 340 may have an easy-to-assemble structure to facilitate connection or disconnection with a ventilation duct of a fresh air system.

In some embodiments, as schematically depicted in fig. 4, the pipe fitting 340 may have a threaded structure, and accordingly, the corresponding nozzle of the connection fitting 130 also has a corresponding threaded structure, thereby allowing the assembly 30 to be easily mounted to or dismounted from the corresponding nozzle of the connection fitting 130 by the threaded structure. Fig. 4 depicts that the thread structure of the pipe fitting 340 is located at the outside of the pipe fitting 340, and correspondingly, the thread structure of the corresponding nozzle of the connecting pipe 130 is located at the inside of the nozzle. In other examples, the thread structure of the pipe adapter 340 may be located on the inner side of the pipe adapter 340, and correspondingly, the thread structure of the corresponding nozzle of the connecting pipe 130 may be located on the outer side of the nozzle.

In some embodiments, the pipe fitting 340 may adopt other structures for easy assembly and disassembly, such as a snap structure, an in-line structure, and the like. For example, when the snap structure is adopted, the male and female fasteners may be respectively disposed on the pipe fitting part 340 and the corresponding pipe orifice of the connecting pipe 130, so as to realize connection and separation therebetween. For example, when the in-line structure is adopted, the outer side of the pipe fitting 340 may be formed of an elastic material and the outer diameter of the pipe fitting 340 is set to be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the corresponding pipe orifice of the connecting pipe member 130, so that the connection and separation between the two is achieved by using a frictional force. The embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to a specific detachable structure, and any detachable structure may be applied to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Further, although the connecting tube 130 is depicted in fig. 3 as a separate component from the component 30, in some embodiments, the component 30 may include the connecting tube 130. By the mode, the fresh air system pipeline with various specifications can be more easily adapted, and the installation is convenient.

The assembly 30 may further include a housing 350, and the housing 350 may accommodate the container 310, the opening and closing unit 320, and the electric unit 330, as well as other components. In some embodiments, the housing 350 includes the conduit adapter 340, or the conduit adapter 340 is a portion of the housing 350. The conduit adapter 340 and the housing 350 may be integrally formed or may be separately formed and assembled together, in which case the conduit adapter 340 may be considered part of the housing 350. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that although the diameter of the pipe adapter 340 is depicted in fig. 4 as being smaller than the diameter of the rest of the housing 350, the diameter of the pipe adapter 340 may also be larger than the diameter of the rest of the housing 350, and the disclosed embodiments are not limited by the size of the various portions of the housing 350.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a portion of an air improvement assembly for a fresh air system, according to one embodiment. For ease of illustration, components in fig. 5 that correspond to those of fig. 1 to 4 are identified with the same reference numerals. Fig. 5 generally depicts a side schematic view of the container 310 and lid structure 320 in the air improvement assembly 30.

As shown in fig. 5, the opening and closing unit 320 includes a cover 3203 and a cover holder 3201 made of a soft material, which may be, for example, silicone. The cover portion 3203 may be or may be shaped like a side surface of a cylinder in an unfolded state. A rim of one side of the cover portion 3203 is connected or fixed to the cover holder 3201, and a rim of the other side of the cover portion 3203 is connected or fixed to the inside of the container 310. The shape of the cap holder 3201 may be or may approximate the sides of a cylinder that surrounds the outside of the container 310. The cap holder 3201 may rotate relative to the container 310 along a slide 3202 on the container 310. When the cover 3201 is rotated to one end of the slide 3202, for example, the lower left end as shown in fig. 5, the cover 3203 wraps the side wall of the opening portion of the container 310, and the opening and closing unit 320 is opened at this time, see fig. 5a, which shows a cross section at the position of the cover 3201 when the opening and closing unit 320 is opened. When the cover holder 3201 is rotated to the other end of the slide track 3202, e.g., the upper right end as shown in fig. 5, the cover portion 3203 covers the opening of the container 310, and the opening and closing unit 320 is closed at this time, see fig. 5b, which shows a top view of the opening and closing unit 320 when closed.

Although the slide 3202 is shown in fig. 5 as having a slope with respect to the cross-section of the cover stock 3201, in some embodiments, the slide 3202 may be parallel to the cross-section of the cover stock, in which case the upper edge of the cover stock may be positioned flush with or slightly above the upper edge of the container 310. In some embodiments, the slide 3202 may not be provided, in which case, similar to the case of parallel slides, the upper edge of the lid holder may be disposed flush with or slightly above the upper edge of the container 310; in this case, the operation similar to the ramp may be realized by using a suitable transmission mechanism (for example, a screw-type lifting transmission structure between the electrode and the container), similarly to the case of providing the ramp.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the portion of the slide 3202 that is formed thereon may be either integrally formed with the container 310 or a separate component and fixedly assembled with the container 310, and in either case, may be considered to be part of the container 310 and thus collectively referred to as the container 310. Similarly, the portion of the container to which one side of the cover portion 3203 is attached or secured may be integrally formed with the container 310 or may be a separate component and fixedly attached to the container 310, in either case, the portion may be considered to be part of the container 310 and thus collectively referred to as the container 310.

In some embodiments, cover holder 3201 may be secured to housing 350. As shown in fig. 5, the motorized unit 330 may be coupled to the container 310 and drive the container 310 to rotate relative to the cover mount 3201, thereby driving the opening or closing of the cover portion 3203. In some embodiments, a control type motor may be employed to achieve a specific rotation direction and a specific amount of rotational displacement, thereby driving the container 310 to rotate in either direction with respect to the cover holder 3201 by a specific amount of displacement, causing the opening and closing unit 320 to open or close. Examples of control type motors include stepper motors, servo motors, and the like. Those skilled in the art will understand that the technical solution of the present disclosure is not limited to a specific motor, nor to a specific implementation manner of a specific rotation direction and rotation amount for a motor, and that the implementation manner of a motor capable of implementing a specific rotation direction and rotation amount is applicable to the technical solution of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the container 310 may be secured to the housing 350, and the motorized unit 330 may be coupled to the cover mount 3201 (e.g., via a gear train) and drive the cover mount 3201 to rotate relative to the container 310, thereby driving the opening or closing of the cover portion 3203.

FIG. 6 is a schematic view of a portion of an air improvement assembly for a fresh air system, according to one embodiment. For ease of illustration, components in fig. 6 that correspond to those of fig. 1 to 5 are identified with the same reference numerals. Fig. 6 generally depicts a side schematic view of the container 310 and lid structure 320 in the air improvement assembly 30.

As shown in fig. 6, the opening and closing unit 320 includes a first cover part 3204 and a second cover part 3205, which may also be referred to as a first cover sheet 3204 and a second cover sheet 3205. As shown, the first cover portion 3204 and the second cover portion 3205 are proximate together, and in some embodiments, the interface portions of the two may be formed of a material that facilitates sealing. Holes are disposed on both the first cover portion 3204 and the second cover portion 3205. Fig. 6a and 6b show an example of a pattern of holes on the first cover portion 3204 and the second cover portion 3205, in which a shaded portion indicates a portion of the cover sheet without holes, and a blank portion indicates a portion of the cover sheet with holes. As shown in fig. 6a, the second cover portion 3205 has a semi-circular hole, and in some embodiments, the hole of the second cover portion 3205 is slightly smaller than a semi-circular hole, so as to ensure the sealing property of the whole cover portion formed when the first cover portion 3204 and the second cover portion 3205 cover the hole of each other. As shown in fig. 6b, the first cover portion 3204 has an aperture with substantially the same shape and size as the aperture of the second cover portion 3205.

Returning to fig. 6, in some embodiments, the second cover portion 3205 may be disposed at the opening of the container 310, e.g., an upper edge of the second cover portion 3205 may be flush with or higher than an upper edge of the opening of the container 310. The first cover portion 3204 may be provided to be relatively rotatable in contact with the second cover portion 3205.

In some embodiments, first cover portion 3204 may be secured to housing 350 and second cover portion 3205 may be secured to container 310. As shown in fig. 6, the electromotive unit 330 may be connected to the container 310 and drive the container 310 to rotate with respect to the first cover portion 3204, thereby driving the opening or closing of the opening and closing unit 320 constituted by the first cover portion 3204 and the second cover portion 3205. For example, when the electromotive unit 330 drives the second cover portion 3205 to rotate to a position where the holes of the first cover portion 3204 and the second cover portion 3205 coincide, the opening and closing unit 320 is opened; when the electromotive unit 330 drives the second cover portion 3205 to rotate to a position where the non-hole portions and the hole portions of the first cover portion 3204 and the second cover portion 3205 coincide, the opening and closing unit 320 is closed. In some embodiments, a control type motor may be employed to achieve a specific rotational direction and rotational displacement amount, thereby driving the container 310 to rotate relative to the first cover portion 3204 by a specific displacement amount, causing the opening and closing unit 320 to open or close. Examples of control type motors include stepper motors, servo motors, and the like. Those skilled in the art will understand that the technical solution of the present disclosure is not limited to a specific motor, nor to a specific implementation manner of a specific rotation direction and rotation amount for a motor, and that the implementation manner of a motor capable of implementing a specific rotation direction and rotation amount is applicable to the technical solution of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the container 310 may be fixed to the housing 350, and the electric unit 330 may be connected to the first cover portion 3204 (e.g., via a transmission mechanism) and drive the first cover portion 3204 to rotate relative to the second cover portion, thereby driving the opening or closing of the opening and closing unit 320.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the hole patterns on the first and second cover portions 3204, 3205 are not limited to the examples shown in fig. 6a and 6 b. As long as the holes of the first and second cover portions 3204 and 3205 substantially coincide at the first relative position, and the holes of either one of the first and second cover portions 3204 and 3205 are completely covered by the non-hole portion of the other at the second relative position, the opening and closing unit 320 shown in fig. 6 can be implemented, and the implementation of the opening and closing unit 320 is not limited to the specific number, shape, and arrangement pattern of the holes of the first and second cover portions 3204 and 3205.

In the above-described embodiment, the container 310 has a cylindrical or approximately cylindrical shape, and accordingly, the opening and closing unit 320 and the housing 350 have a circular or annular cross section, and the opening and closing of the opening and closing unit 320 is achieved by the above-described rotation. One advantage of this cylindrical configuration of the assembly 30 is that it is compact and can be made smaller in size. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the housing 350 of the assembly 30 and the receptacle 310 and the opening and closing unit 320 therein are not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be implemented in other cylindrical shapes, such as a cylindrical shape with a square or rectangular cross section, and accordingly, when the receptacle 310 and the opening and closing unit 320 have a square or rectangular cross section, the opening and closing of the opening and closing unit 320 may be implemented in a similar manner as shown in fig. 6, and the two square flaps may be implemented in a sliding manner to implement the opening and closing of the opening and closing unit 320. For example, one of the flaps is fixed to one end of the opening position of the receptacle 310, and the other flap is driven by the motor 330 to and fro between a position overlapping the fixed flap and a complementary position, thereby achieving opening and closing of the opening and closing unit 320.
