Description

Air purifying device using plant

The present invention relates to an air purifying apparatus using plants, and more particularly, to an air purifying apparatus using plants that utilizes an air purifying effect by plants in an indoor space.

For urban residents who spend a lot of time indoors, it is very important to remove pollution from indoor air. There are many pollutants that generate gaseous harmful substances in the indoor space, so in the past, frequent ventilation was performed to remove gaseous harmful substances. However, in recent years, it has become difficult to ventilate the room due to fine dust, so much attention has been paid to purifying the indoor air itself. One of them is an air purifier using plants.

Since plants are living organisms, water supply is very important to keep growing. However, in an environment where water cannot be automatically supplied, it is very necessary to secure a space for storing water for water supply.

In addition, as plants grow, the center of gravity of the air cleaning device may change. In particular, in the case of an air cleaning device made by stacking vegetation modules in the height direction, it is necessary to prepare for this.

In addition, as the urban land price continues to rise, there is a problem in that a considerable fixed cost is required to install the air purifier in an indoor space.

There is a front surface 13 ′ to connect between the tips of the side surfaces 13. In this embodiment, the front surface 13' is formed as a curved surface having a predetermined radius of curvature. However, the front surface 13 ′ may be a plane connecting the front ends of the side surfaces 13 on both sides. There is a rear surface 13" on the opposite side of the front surface 13', and the rear surface 13' connects the rear ends of the side surfaces 13 on both sides. In the base 10 having such a configuration, the side surfaces on both sides are connected to each other. (13) The angle between them is approximately 90 degrees, which makes it possible to install the base 10 at the corner of the indoor space.

Of course, it is not necessary to install the air purifying apparatus of the present invention only at the corners of the indoor space, and the air purifying apparatus may be installed so as to be positioned around the four bases 10 in a circle. In this case, four air purifiers form one pillar. In addition, two bases 10 may be installed adjacent to each other, and two air purifiers may be installed in a semicircular shape so that the side surfaces 13 of the bases on both sides of the wall face each other.

Stop ribs 14 are formed to protrude from the upper surface 12 of the base 10 along positions corresponding to the side surfaces 13 and the rear surface 13" on both sides of the base 10.

However, the front surface 25 ′ of the module mounting plate 20 may be flat, or may be in various other forms.

A drain hole 26 is formed in a predetermined area including the center of the upper surface 24 of the module seat plate 20. Water may be delivered to the water tank 30 to be described below through the drain hole 26. The area in which the drain hole 26 is formed is formed relatively lower than that of the other areas of the upper surface 24 of the module seat plate 20. This is to prevent water from passing through the vegetation module 21 from being transferred to other areas of the upper surface 24 of the module seating plate 20.

A water inlet 27 is formed through the upper surface 24 of the module seating plate 20 to an inner region of the waterproof rib 24 ′ adjacent to the front surface 25 ′. The water inlet 27 is a part through which water can be injected into the water tank 30 to be described below. The water inlet 27 is not covered by the vegetation module 21 and is exposed to the outside. The module mounting plate 20 also has a hose through hole 27' at a position adjacent to the rear surface 25". The hose through hole 27' is for supplying water to the vegetation module 21 This is a part through which the hose passes, and the hose is a part through which water that is pressurized and delivered by a pump in the inner space 32 of the water container 30 to be described below passes.

There is a rear surface 25" on the opposite side of the front surface 25' and a second column holder 28 on the rear surface 25". There is an insertion hole 28 ′ through the second column holder 28. A fixed column 36 to be described below passes through the insertion hole 28'.

A water tank 30 is mounted in the space formed by the base 10, the module mounting plate 20, and the connection support part 22. An inner space 32 is formed inside the water tank 30. The inner space 32 is opened to the top of the water tank 30. The inner space 32 is filled with water to be provided to plants. The water tank 30 also includes side surfaces 33 on both sides, a front surface 33 ′ connecting the front ends of the side surfaces 33, and a rear surface 33 ″ connecting the rear ends of the side surfaces 33. The cross-sectional shape of the water tank 30 is substantially the same as the base 10 or the module seating plate 20.

The lower end is fixed to the first column holder 18 of the base 10, and extends upward through the second column holder 28 of the module mounting plate 20 to install a fixed column 36. A hook channel 38 is formed by extending in the longitudinal direction of the fixed column 36. The hanger channel 38 is inserted into the column hanger 42 of the connector 40 to be described below. The hook channel 38 has a rectangular cross-section of the fixed column 36 in this embodiment, and is formed on each of the four surfaces. However, only one of the hook channels 38 may be formed in the longitudinal direction of the fixed column 36.

A connector 40 is used to connect the fixed column 36 and the vegetation module 21. For reference, the bottom surface of the vegetation module 21 is formed such that the front end of the vegetation module 21 is relatively higher than the rear end. That is, when the vegetation module 21 is mounted on the module mounting plate 20, the front end is formed slightly higher than the rear end. This is in preparation for the center of gravity of the vegetation module 21 including the plant to move forward when the plant grows and becomes large.

The connector 40 has a module hanger 43. The module hanger 43 is a part that is hooked and connected to the vegetation module 21. There is an elastic part 45 between the column hanger 42 and the module hanger 43. The expansion/contraction part 45 has a wave shape in a longitudinal section so that the distance between the column hanger 42 and the module hanger 43 can be expanded or contracted.

The module hanger 43 is simultaneously coupled to the stacked two vegetation modules 21. For this purpose, the upper hanger 46 and the lower hanger 47 face each other, and the upper hanger 46 has a pair of hanger ribs 46', and the lower hanger 47 also has a pair of hanger ribs 47' ). These hook ribs (46') (47') pair at the ends of the upper hook (46) and the lower hook (47) are relatively short in length, so that it is easy to attach and detach to the vegetation module (21).

The upper hanger 46 and the lower hanger 47 are connected by a connecting rod 48. The connecting rod 48 connects the upper hanger 46 and the lower hanger 47 to have a predetermined interval. At both ends of the connecting rod 48, that is, at positions corresponding to the upper hanger 46 and the lower hanger 47, the handle 49 extends in the opposite direction of the upper hanger 46 and the lower hanger 47. When the two handles 49 are pressed in a direction adjacent to each other, the gap between the upper hanger 46 and the lower hanger 47 is opened so that the vegetation module 21 can be attached and detached. A plurality of friction ribs 49' are formed on the handle 49 to prevent the user's fingers from slipping.

Hereinafter, it will be described in detail that the air purification apparatus using the plant according to the present invention having the above-described configuration is used.

As shown in FIG. 1, the air purifying apparatus of the present invention puts a water tank 30 in a drawer type in the space between the base 10 and the module seating plate 20, and vegetation on the module seating plate 20 A plurality of modules 21 are stacked. The vegetation module 21 is connected to the fixed column 36 through a connector 40. The connector 40 prevents the stacked vegetation module 21 from falling over by connecting the vegetation module 21 to the fixed column 36 by being hooked on two vegetation modules 21 stacked up and down at the same time. .

In particular, the connector 40 has an extension part 45 so that the distance between the fixed column 36 and the vegetation module 21 is not fixed and a certain distance difference can be absorbed. This may change the center of gravity of the stacked vegetation modules 21 as plants grow in the vegetation module 21, which absorbs and prevents the stacked vegetation modules 21 from collapsing. As described above, when the vegetation module 21 is placed on a horizontal surface, the tip is slightly higher than the rear end, and when a plurality of vegetation modules 21 are stacked, the stacked vegetation module 21 is inclined backward, The expansion and contraction portion 45 of the connector 40 absorbs this inclination and supports the stacked vegetation modules 21.

As shown in FIG. 10, the air purifying apparatus of the present invention may be used by placing two wall surfaces 50 at a corner perpendicular to each other. In this way, by installing the air purifier at the corner, it is possible to use the indoor space more efficiently.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, the air purifying apparatus of the present invention may be used by being installed so that two cross-sections form a semicircle on the wall surface 50, and as shown in FIG. 12, four cross-sections are circular in the indoor space. It may also be installed and used to achieve this. As described above, the air purifying apparatus of the present invention can be variously installed because the shape of the base 10, the module seating plate 20, and the water tank 30 is made suitable for this. This is because, for example, the extended surfaces of both side surfaces 13 of the base 10 are 90 degrees.

On the other hand, the water tank 30 is mounted and installed on the upper surface 12 of the base 10, and the drain hole 26 and the water inlet 27 of the module mounting plate 20 are The inner space 32 is in communication with the entrance. Accordingly, water can be injected into the inner space 32 of the water tank 30 through the water inlet 27 while the water tank 30 is seated on the upper surface 12 of the base 10. , Water in the inner space 32 may be supplied to the vegetation module 21 stacked through a pump through a hose passing through the hose passage hole 27'. The water supplied to the vegetation module 21 is absorbed by plants while passing through the stacked vegetation module 21. The water that has not been absorbed by plants while passing through the vegetation module 21 passes through the vegetation module 21 of the lowermost layer and enters the inner space 32 of the water tank 30 again through the drain port 26.

The connector 40 connecting the vegetation module 21 to the fixed column 36 moves while the column hanger 42 is inserted into the hanger channel 38 of the fixed column 36 to adjust the height. . In the module hanger 43 of the connector 40, the upper hanger 46 is hung on the vegetation module 21 relatively stacked on the upper side, and the lower hanger 47 is the vegetation module 21 stacked on the lower side. Hangs on Therefore, when three vegetation modules 21 are stacked, as in the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1, two connectors 40 are used.

In the manipulation of the module hanger 43, when the user holds the two handles 49 and elastically deforms them so that they are adjacent to each other, the upper hanger 46 and the lower hanger 47 are separated, and the stacked vegetation module 21 A pair of hook ribs (46') of the upper hook (46) hang on the upper one of the), and hook ribs (47') of the lower hook hook (47) hang on the lower one of the stacked vegetation module (21). After positioning it so that it is located, the force applied to the handle 49 may be removed.

In this case, the position of the column hanger 42 may be adjusted so that the extension direction of the extension part 45 is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the fixed column 36. The length of the fixed column 36 may be set to correspond to the height at which the vegetation modules 21 are stacked.

On the other hand, the water tank 30 can be removed from the upper surface 12 of the base 10 to the outside in a drawer type when necessary. The user puts a hand in the hand insertion groove 12', grabs the water tank 30, and pulls it out. Such a structure enables maintenance of the water tank 30 without damaging the stacked state of the vegetation module 21, so that the use of the air purification device is convenient.
