Friendly smoking booths

The present invention relates to an environmentally friendly smoking booth, and more particularly, to a smoking booth for environmentally friendly smoking booths, which recognizes the level of contamination in smokers and indoor environment standards in the booth and optimally ventilates according to the concentration of pollutants, Friendly smoking booth for securing the health rights of non-smokers.

In general, tobacco smoke contains a large amount of tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide and other harmful gas components, which are harmful to human body.

Tar is a blackish brown substance that appears when you put cigarette smoke into your mouth and spit on hin paper, and when you cool it becomes a liquid. Tar is a substance that comes from burning any plant, and most toxins and carcinogens are detrimental to human health. When a person smokes a pack of cigarettes a day, the amount of tar that they gather for a year usually amounts to filling a glass cup. This tar goes to the lungs with tobacco smoke and infiltrates into the blood, damaging the cells and organs of our body, acting directly on the gums and bronchi, destroying epidermal cells or causing chronic inflammation.

And nicotine is a toxic substance that promotes atherosclerosis by causing peripheral vasoconstriction, lowering of blood pressure, heart beat hyperactivity, nerve stimulation and damage of blood wall.

In addition, many of the gas components contained in the cigarette smoke are composed of toxic substances and carcinogens. Particularly, carbon monoxide (CO) lowers the oxygen transport ability of the blood, thereby causing chronic hypoxia, To kill brain cells and cause premature aging.

The major diseases that can be caused by smoking are lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, pancreatic cancer, pancreatic cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, Chronic airway obstruction, and the like, and can cause cardiovascular diseases such as rheumatic heart disease, hypertension, external vascular disease, arteriosclerosis and the like. In addition, it can cause childhood diseases such as weight loss, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal sudden death syndrome, pregnancy, abortion, placenta placenta, premature placenta, premature rupture.

Particularly, as described above, the damage caused by tobacco smoke is transmitted not only to the smoker but also to the second-hand smoker. Generally, this is referred to as second-hand smoke. Passive smoking refers to the physical harm of smokers by smoking the smoke from the cigarette itself when the smoker does not smokes the cigarette smoke from the smoker by the smoker. The second smoker smokes 10 blood smokes, the second smoker smokes 3 blood smokes The same. The victim is 1.3 times more likely to have lung cancer than the wife of the husband's wife, who does not smoke as a family member of the smoker's family, and the risk increases by 1.5 times if smoked twice a day.

To minimize the damage from such cigarettes, smoking has been restricted in specific buildings or places in the country in recent years. In particular, a separate smoking room is obliged to be installed even in a restaurant or a building.

In the upper part of the housing 102, various self-generating devices and exhaust devices 107 capable of producing electricity using environmental energy are installed.

In the present invention, it is assumed that a solar power generator 105 for producing solar energy as electric energy and a wind power generator 106 for generating electric energy using wind power are installed as an embodiment. The photovoltaic generator 105 and the wind turbine 106 can be self-generated in a variety of forms, such as installing both of the two devices, installing either one or two, or using one of them in accordance with the operating method do.

In addition, the exhaust device 107 removes contaminants contained in the air in the smoking booth 100, and deodorizes and discharges the contaminants to the outside.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a controller of a smoking cigarette according to the present invention, as an example of the various detection and control devices.

The smoking booth control apparatus according to the present invention includes a pollutant detection unit 108, a temperature detection unit 109, a wall pollution degree detection unit 110, a power supply unit 111, a control unit 112, an air intake unit 116, 117 and a cleaning timing indicator 118. [

The pollutant detection unit 108 serves to detect the pollutant concentration in the smoking booth 100. In the present invention, the concentration of carbon monoxide (co), which has a fatal effect on the human body, is detected using a gas sensor.

Gas sensors for detecting the concentration of carbon monoxide can be various types such as electrochemical, contact continuous, semiconductor type, SnO2 and so on. Therefore, it is desirable to use a gas sensor suitable for a smoking booth.

The wall surface pollution degree detection unit 110 detects the degree of wall surface pollution of the smoking booth 110 and transmits the detected degree of pollution to the control unit 112.

The control unit 112 calculates the amount of ventilation in accordance with the concentration of the pollutant detected by the pollutant detection unit 108, and automatically controls the exhaust and the intake according to the calculated amount of ventilation.

The control unit 112 preferably controls the exhaust amount and the intake air amount proportionally according to the concentration of the pollutant. The control unit 112 calculates the cleaning time according to the wall surface pollution degree detected by the wall surface pollution degree detection unit 110, ) Of the cleaning time.

As a result, the air inside the smoking booth 100 is maintained in a clean state, thereby minimizing discomfort caused by the smell of the cigarette during smoking of the smoker.

The power supply unit 111 serves to supply driving power to a place where power is required in the smoking booth 100 by using electric energy produced by the photovoltaic generator 105 and / or the wind power generator 106, which is a self-generated power. It is more preferable that the power supply unit 111 supplies the driving power to a place where the power supply is required by using a commercial power supply when the smoking booth 100 is located in a place where it is difficult to obtain sunlight or wind power.

The cleaning time display unit 118 serves to visually display the cleaning time of the smoking booth 100 under the control of the controller 112. [

The operation of the environmentally friendly smoking booth 100 according to the present invention will now be described in detail.

First, the smoking booth 100 as shown in FIG. 1 is installed in a specific place and driven. When the smoking booth 100 is installed in the room without sunlight or wind force, the power supply unit 111 supplies power using commercial power. Alternatively, when installed in a place where solar energy or wind energy exists, electric power is generated by self power generation through the solar power generator 105 and / or the wind power generator 106, and the driving power is supplied using the generated electric energy It does. When electric energy is produced by self-generated electricity using environmental energy, it can save electric energy while being environmentally friendly.

In a state where the smoking booth 100 is operated by the power supply, the pollutant detection unit 108 detects pollutants in the smoking booth 100. Contaminant detection uses gas sensors as is well known. For example, when a smoker enters the smoking booth 100 and smokes, it detects pollutants (for example, carbon monoxide) contained in the generated smoke. In the present invention, the pollutant detection concentration is detected from 0 to 500 ppm by using an electrochemical gas sensor which is inexpensive and can be downsized.

The pollutant detection unit 108 detects a pollutant using a gas sensor, and transmits the detected result to the control unit 112 as a pollutant concentration value.

The control unit 112 calculates the amount of ventilation for exhaust and intake control in real time using the detected concentration of pollutant substances.

Here, the following equation (1) for calculating the amount of ventilation is used.

Here, S is the specific gravity of the harmful pollutant (0.07), G is the amount of harmful pollutants generated (L / hr), K is the dilution coefficient (1.5 to 2), M is the molecular weight of the harmful pollutants (28) (25 ppm) of pollutants, respectively. The amount of the harmful pollutants generated is a pollutant concentration value. When the amount of ventilation is calculated using the above equation, the amount of ventilation can be controlled for various pollutants in addition to carbon monoxide.

Then, an exhaust control signal and an intake control signal for controlling exhaust and intake are generated in accordance with the calculated amount of ventilation. Here, it is preferable to control the exhaust and intake air proportional to the concentration of the pollutant. In addition, the exhaust control signal and the intake control signal are stored in advance in the form of a control table in accordance with the amount of ventilation in the internal memory. When the ventilation amount is calculated, the exhaust / intake control signal corresponding thereto is extracted using the control table .

The exhaust control signal is transmitted to the exhaust apparatus 107 and the exhaust fan driving unit 113 of the exhaust apparatus 107 controls the driving of the exhaust fan 115 in accordance with the exhaust control signal to be transmitted. Normally, the exhaust amount control can be controlled by adjusting the rotation speed and the operation time of the exhaust fan 115. [

When the exhaust fan 115 operates to exhaust the pollutants, the pollutant removing unit 114 disposed at the front end of the exhaust fan 115 removes pollutants contained in the exhausted air through the pollutant removal process shown in FIG.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the pollutant removing unit 114 filters the air sucked for exhaust through a first HPEPA filter to primarily remove dust and aerosols contained in the air. Next, the pollutants passing through the first HPEPA filter are removed by using an absorption device to remove harmful gas. The pollutants passing through the absorber are irradiated with ultraviolet rays in a third order using a UV lamp to remove contaminants. Here, the UV lamp also serves to regenerate activated carbon, thereby extending the replacement cycle of activated carbon. Next, by using the space after passing through the UV lamp, moisture in the pollutants contained in the air is reduced in the fourth order. Then, the adsorbent is used to adsorb the pollutants passing through the space in a fifth order to remove contaminants. The adsorbent may be a combination of loess and activated carbon, or a combination of metal and activated carbon. Finally, the second HEPA filter is used to remove the radioactive dust and aerosol contained in the air that has passed through the adsorbent, thereby substantially completely removing the contaminants contained in the cigarette smoke.

The purified air from which the pollutants are removed is discharged to the outside through the exhaust fan 115.

This prevents external air from being contaminated by contaminants contained in the cigarette smoke.

The exhaust is controlled in the same manner as described above, and the inflow of outside air is controlled through the intake apparatus 116. Here, it is preferable to use a normal intake fan for intake. For example, one of the features of the present invention is to automatically control exhaust and intake air proportional to the concentration of the pollutant regardless of the person.

If the pollutant is detected by the pollutant detection unit 108 as described above, the controller 112 controls the air purifier to purify the interior of the smoking booth 100 according to the detected concentration of the pollutant. And the air cleaner is sprayed through the valve 117. Because the air cleanliness can be deodorized, the smoking booth is always kept in a pleasant condition.

Further, according to another aspect of the present invention, the cleaning time of the smoking booth 100 is displayed to allow the administrator to easily recognize the cleaning time of the smoking booth.

For example, the wall surface pollution degree detection unit 110 detects the pollution degree state of the wall surface inside the smoking booth 110. Here, it is preferable that the pollution degree detecting unit 110 uses a known pollution degree detecting sensor.
The control unit 112 detects the wall surface pollution degree by the wall surface pollution degree detection unit 110 and compares the wall surface pollution degree with a reference state value for determining the wall surface pollution degree stored in advance to determine a cleaning time. It is preferable to prepare a control table in advance according to the degree of contamination, and determine a cleaning time based on the prepared control table.

A cleaning timing display signal for indicating the cleaning timing is transmitted to the cleaning timing indicator 118 in accordance with the cleaning timing determination value and the cleaning timing indicator 118 visualizes the cleaning timing indicator 118. Thus, You will know when to clean.

The cleaning timing indicator 118 may be a display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a light emitting diode (LED).

Another characteristic feature of the present invention is that a predetermined position of the housing of the smoking booth 100 can be advertised as an area for advertisement, and advertisement using a smoking booth by attaching a billboard or a separate advertisement device is possible.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

The present invention is effectively applied to a technique for removing contaminants contained in cigarette smoke.
