Description

Common deodorization unit that can be installed outdoors}

This technology relates to a deodorizing device that can easily replace the activated carbon itself for deodorizing.

In general, deodorizing devices are used to remove odorous substances contained in the air, and a representative method is using activated carbon.

Activated carbon uses small pores on the activated surface to adsorb and remove odorous substances contained in the air.

In this way, filters using activated carbon have limitations in their adsorption capacity, so they must be replaced after being used for a certain period of time. If they are not replaced at the appropriate time, there is a problem in that the activated carbon actually releases the adsorbed substances again.

In order to solve the above problems, 'deodorizing device', which is domestically registered patent number 10-2263115, has been disclosed as a prior art. Looking at its configuration with reference to FIG. 3, it includes: an intake port; A dehumidifying filter located at the rear end of the intake port and filled with a moisture absorbent; A first deodorizing filter located at the rear of the dehumidifying filter and filled with activated carbon impregnated with titanium dioxide (TiO ₂ ), a photocatalyst; An ultraviolet irradiation unit located at the rear end of the first deodorizing filter and including a UV-A irradiation unit and a UV-C irradiation unit; A second deodorizing filter located at the rear end of the ultraviolet irradiation unit and filled with activated carbon impregnated with titanium dioxide, a photocatalyst; An outlet located behind the second deodorizing filter; a fan that sucks in air through the intake port and discharges it through the outlet; and a control unit that controls operations of the UV-A irradiation unit, the UV-C irradiation unit, and the fan.

Through the above-mentioned structural characteristics, odorous substances are adsorbed through a deodorizing filter made of activated carbon impregnated with a photocatalyst, and the lifespan of the deodorizing filter is extended by oxidizing and removing the odorous substances adsorbed on the activated carbon by ultraviolet rays and photocatalytic reaction. was implemented.

However, among the above configurations, the first and second deodorizing filters filled with activated carbon are individually stored in the deodorizing device in the form of cartridges, so there is a problem in that the corresponding cartridges must be separated one by one in order to replace them, and the production of such cartridges is difficult. There is a problem that the filter must be processed using expensive equipment.
