Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an odor treatment apparatus using a tree-by-

The present invention relates to a deodorization apparatus using a byproduct of woody matter, and more particularly, to a deodorization apparatus using a byproduct such as sawdust and chips, And more particularly, to a malodor removing apparatus capable of effectively removing odors generated.

The term "odor" refers to an unpleasant smell that stimulates the nervous system of a person to cause emotional life and health damage. Currently, the Air Pollution Control Law states that "hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, amines and other irritating gaseous substances The smell that gives offensive and repulsive stimulation ".

Ammonia (NH ₃ ), a typical odor substance, is produced not only in chemical processes such as chemical fertilizer manufacturing facilities and dye manufacturing facilities, but also when organic matter containing nitrogen is biologically decomposed.

The major sources of odor include waste treatment plants, manure treatment plants, sewage treatment plants, and food waste treatment plants.

Various kinds of odor removing methods or deodorization methods for removing odors generated in living or industrial sites are known. Among known methods, there is a deodorizing method using a deodorant.

Generally, commercially available deodorants are mainly oriented aromatic masking agents, and many kinds of products such as household deodorants, toilet seats for automobiles, and business use for various business sites are sold. Examples of these forms include evaporation by volatilization and sublimation of an oily component solidified by aerosol, spraying, gelatin, agar, etc. by an inert gas such as Freon, evaporation from the surface of the powder, silica, etc., One adsorption type and so on.

The deodorization technique using the fragrance can be divided into the masking method and the neutralization function. The masking method is a method of reversing the odor in the direction, and paralyzing the smell of the person with the smell of the perfume to thereby eliminate discomfort and discomfort (wood vinegar, Etc). The masking method of concealing odor as an odor-intensive fragrance can be easily understood by considering the fragrance, lotion, cream, and the like, which is a deodorant widely used today to control the body odor by the method that has been used since ancient times by mankind. They all control the odor without chemical changes, and there is a risk that the deodorant used at the high concentration may be harmful to the human body.

Neutralization has the advantage of preventing the side effects such as headache and nausea which may occur when the masking method is used when the other components are mixed with the malodorous substance.

Korean Patent No. 10-1238050 is disclosed as a patented technology using phytoncide which is discharged from a cotton wool as a material for neutralization.

The above-mentioned patented technique is that the antibacterial or deodorizing effect is induced by the phytoncide emitted from the whitish wood particles by receiving the whitish wood particles that emit the phytoncide to the openable and closable seat bag.

However, as in the conventional technique, only a very small amount of contamination source can be treated by simply using the phytoncide which is naturally emitted from the untreated white wood, so that it can not be used for home use. In addition, the amount of phytoncide emission is very low when the air is simply brought into contact with air.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and a device for removing harmful substances such as phytoncide, which is produced by bringing hot air or steam into contact with sawdust or chips generated during processing of woody woods, The present invention has been made to solve the above problems.

As described above, the present invention has a structure for producing a malodor removing agent through one apparatus and supplying the produced malodor removing agent to the malodor generating source to remove the malodorous component.

'Odor component' means the smell of hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, amines, and other irritating gaseous substances that irritate the nose of the human body and cause discomfort and disgust. Examples of the basic odor component include ammonia and trimethylamine. Examples of the acidic odor component include hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, propionic acid, and normal butyl acid. The odor components that cause these odors vary greatly depending on the source of the odor, and the main sources of odor are sewage treatment plants, incinerators, food waste disposal facilities, waste landfill, manure and livestock wastewater treatment plant, refinery, refinery, .

The generating unit 10 generates hot air or steam to the tree member 5 to generate a gaseous odor removing agent. Here, the tree member 5 may be at least one of leaves, stems, branches, and roots of a tree, or may be a by-product of wood such as sawdust or chip. By using sawdust or chip byproducts, raw materials can be purchased at a low cost and the contact area with the heating fluid can be increased, thereby increasing the amount of phytoncide discharged.

Trees that can be used as arbors are preferably tree species capable of releasing phytoncide. Phytoncide is known to produce much more trees than herbaceous plants or shrubs. In particular, coniferous trees have more phytoncide emissions than hardwoods. In other words, there are a lot of rosin in many conifer trees.

Examples of the arboreous plants capable of discharging phytoncide include coniferous trees and birch trees such as Japanese cypress trees, cedar trees, conifer trees, Japanese white pine trees, pine trees, pine trees and pine trees, maple trees, oak trees, oak trees, sumac trees, oak trees, Suitable for hardwoods such as ducks and blooms.

One example of the illustrated generating unit 10 is connected to a steam generator 11 for generating steam, a hot air generator 15 for generating hot air, a steam generator 11 and a hot air generator 15, And a heating fluid switching part for supplying any one heating fluid selected from steam and hot air to the fumigant part 20.

The hot air generator 15 can be a conventional hot air blower. The hot air supplied from the hot air generator 15 may be about 60 to 120 ° C. The steam generator 11 uses a conventional steam generator. The steam supplied from the steam generator 11 may be about 80 to 200 캜.

Hot air generated by the hot air generator 15 or steam generated by the steam generator 11 is selectively supplied to the fumigation unit 20 through the heating fluid switching unit.

The heating fluid switching unit includes a steam discharging line 13 which is a steam generator 11 and discharges steam, a hot air discharging line 17 connected to the hot air generating unit 15 to discharge hot air, a steam discharging line, And a three-way valve (19) connected to the line. The three-way valve 19 is installed in the heating fluid inflow line 23 connected to the smell tank 21 of the fumigation section 20. Way valve 19 opens or closes any one of the steam discharge line 13 and the hot air discharge line 17 to introduce steam or hot air into the heating fluid inflow line 23. [ The opening and closing of the three-way valve 19 can be operated manually or can be controlled automatically.

The fumigant 20 produces a malodor removing agent containing phytoncide by using steam or hot air supplied by the heating fluid switching portion.

The fumigation part (20) has an smell tank, a support part (30) and a storage box (35).

The odoriferous tank (21) has a cylindrical structure with an open top. A heating fluid inflow line (23) is connected to the lower part of the odorizing tank (21). A temperature sensor is installed inside the odorizing tank 21 to sense the temperature of the heating fluid flowing into the inside.

A plurality of supporting legs 25 for supporting the odorating tank 21 may be installed in the lower part of the smell-forming tank 21. The pedestal 25 may be modified in various ways. It is needless to say that the heat-insulating cover 21 may be provided on the outer side of the heat- It is preferable that a side window 26 is formed on the side surface of the odorizing tank 21 so that the side window 26 can be seen inside. Although not shown, a control box may be provided on the side of the smell tank 21.

A lid (27) is provided at an upper part of the smell tank (21). The lid 27 is joined to the open upper portion of the smell tank 21 to seal the inner space of the smell tank 21. The lid 27 is supported on the upper portion of the smell tank 21 by the fixture 7. The fixture 7 is composed of a support frame 8 coupled to the upper surface of the lid 27 and a bracket 9 fixed to the side surface of the smell tank 21. The support frame 7 and the bracket 9 are hinged together. A handle is formed on one side of the lid (27). At the center of the lid 27, a malodor removing agent transfer line 51 through which the malodor removing agent is discharged is connected.

The support part (30) is installed inside the odorizing tank (21) to support the storage box (35). The support portion (30) is installed at a position spaced upward from the bottom surface of the odoriferous tank (21). Preferably, the support is installed at a higher position than the heating fluid inflow line. As an example of the support portion 30, a plurality of through holes 31 may be formed in a disc-shaped panel. Further, the supporting portion 30 can be a netted netting. The heating fluid introduced into the lower portion of the odorizing tank 21 through the heated fluid inflow line 23 flows into the accommodating box 35 through the support portion 31.

The storage box 35 is installed inside the odorizing tank 21 so as to be supported by the support portion 31. Since the storage box 35 is mounted on the support portion 30, it can be easily installed and separated.

The receptacle 35 is composed of a cylindrical cartridge 36 having upper and lower openings and an upper net 38 and a lower net 37 of a net structure coupled to the upper and lower portions of the cartridge 36. The topsheet 38 is preferably hinged to the cartridge 36 so that the top of the cartridge 36 can be opened and closed.

The inside of the storage box (35) is filled with a tree member (5). When steam or hot air having hot heat flows into the storage box 35, a large amount of phytoncide is released from the tree member 5. Phytoncide (phytoncide) is a generic term for bactericidal substances that plants produce to protect themselves from pathogens, insects and microorganisms. The major components of phytoncide are terpene compounds, which are known to have unique aromatic properties and excellent antibacterial and deodorizing effects.

The fumigation unit 20 includes a circulation line 80 for circulating the condensed water from the lower part to the upper part of the seepage tank 21 and a jet line 90 connected to the circulation line 80 and disposed above the cartridge 36 , And a pump (85) installed in the circulation line (80) to pump the condensed water to the injection line (90). Since the condensed water collected at the lower part of the odorizing tank 21 contains a large amount of phytoncide, the condensed water is sprayed from above the cartridge 36 to absorb the condensed water into the tree member 5 and reuse it. The circulation of the condensate may be performed before or during the supply of the heating fluid.

The phytoncide discharged from the tree member 5 is mixed with the heating fluid passing through the receptacle 35 and discharged to the malodor removing agent transfer line 51. The mixture of the heating fluid and the phytoncide, which is discharged through the odor eliminator feeding line 51, that is, the odor eliminating agent is supplied to the odor generating source.

The supply unit 50 for supplying the malodor removing agent to the malodor generating source includes the malodor removing agent transfer line 51 and the blower 55.

The odor eliminator feeding line 51 is connected to a malodor generating source such as a sewage disposal plant, an incinerator, a food waste disposal facility, a waste landfill, a manure and an animal wastewater treatment plant. The malodor removing agent supplied to the malodor generating source is sprayed into the malodor material generated from the malodor generating source to reduce or eliminate the malodor. For this purpose, the odor removing agent transfer line may be connected to the injection pipe provided with a plurality of injection nozzles.

As described above, according to the present invention, hot hot air or steam can be brought into contact with the tree member to divert the phononchid from the tree member. In addition, the production and installation costs of the malodor removing agent can be reduced by implementing a single apparatus. In addition, since hot air or steam can be selectively used, the temperature can be easily controlled and the amount of phytoncide emitted can be increased.

Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. Referring to FIG. 4, the malodor removing apparatus of the present invention further includes a condensed water spraying unit. The remaining components other than the condensed water spraying portion are the same as those in the embodiment of FIG. 1 described above, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The condensate spraying portion is a technical means for spraying the condensed water collected in the lower portion of the odorizing tank 21 to the malodor removing agent conveyed through the odor eliminator transfer line 51. The condensed water generated in the odorizing tank (60) contains a large amount of phytoncide components. Therefore, the present invention can improve the odor removal efficiency by recycling such condensed water.

The condensate spraying means includes a venturi pipe 70 installed in the odor eliminator transfer line 51 and a condensate transfer line 65 connected to the odorant tank 21 on the one hand and the venturi pipe 70 on the other hand Respectively.

In the course of the heating fluid passing through the odorizing tank 21 to generate a deodorant in a gaseous state, a part of the condensed water is condensed by the temperature difference to generate condensed water. The condensed water flows down to the lower portion of the smell tank (21). In order to effectively collect such condensed water, a conical collection tank 60 can be formed in the lower part of the odorizing tank 21. A condensate transfer line (65) is connected to the collection tank (60). The condensed water collected in the collecting tank (60) moves along the condensate transfer line (65) by the negative pressure generated in the venturi pipe (70).

The venturi pipe 70 is installed in the middle of the odor eliminator transfer line 51 and connected to the condensate transfer line 65. Although not shown, a throttle channel is formed in the interior of the venturi pipe 70 so that the passage gradually narrows and then widens again. The end of the condensate transfer line 65 is connected to the venturi pipe 70 to communicate with the throttling flow path. The malodor removing agent moving at a constant speed through the malodor removing agent transfer line passes through the venturi tube 70 and speeds up and pressure is lowered. The condensed water is strongly sucked into the venturi pipe 70 through the condensate transfer line 65 as the pressure is lowered. The condensed water sucked into the venturi pipe 70 is atomized and mixed with the malodor removing agent.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. The true scope of protection of the present invention should be determined only by the appended claims.
