Description

Smart air cleaner for radon reduction {smart air cleaner}

The present invention relates to a smart air purifier for reducing radon, and more particularly, to a smart air purifier for reducing radon having an activated carbon filter for reducing radon and a life prediction system of the filter.

Radon is a natural radioactivity released from nature, which accounts for 50% of natural radioactivity in which people are normally exposed.

Most radon is diluted in the air and is easily diluted in well-ventilated spaces and does not affect the human body. However, in order to increase energy efficiency today, the building's sealing rate increases and the use of building materials using materials that release radon is increased. As a result, the concentration of lardon gas is getting worse with low ventilation rate.

95% of london gas is internally exposed through breathing in indoor space.

The half-life of radon is 3.82 days, and the radon collapses and emits strong alpha rays. At this time, the released alpha rays change the DNA of the lung cells to induce lung cancer. In Korea, the rate of smoking has been steadily decreasing, but lung cancer has increased inversely. In addition, lung cancer has occurred in people who do not smoke.

One of the major causes of lung cancer is smoking, and the second is longevity, a living radiation. As a result, interest in radon emission is increasing in Korea, and the Ministry of Environment of Korea is making a radon radioactive map.

In order to reduce such radon, it is necessary to develop a smart air purifier for radon reduction, and it is necessary to develop a system that can predict the lifetime of the activated carbon filter for radon reduction inserted in the smart air purifier for radon reduction.

In the smart air purifier 100 for radon reduction of the present embodiment,

A body portion 10 having an inner space formed therein;

An activated carbon filter 20 for reducing radon, which is coupled to the inside of the body 10;

A gamma ray measuring sensor 30 for measuring a gamma ray generated when the radon captured by the activated carbon filter for reducing radon 20 collapses;

And a controller 40 for predicting the amount of radon trapped in the activated carbon filter 20 for reducing radon based on the gamma ray measured by the gamma ray measuring sensor 30.

An internal space is formed in the body 10, and general mechanical parts, electronic parts, and electric parts for constructing the air purifier can be built in the body part 10.

The activated carbon filter 20 for reducing radon contains high-purity activated carbon capable of capturing the radon gas from the air sucked into the body 10.

The activated carbon filter 20 for reducing radon contains a filter case 21 and activated carbon 22 located inside the filter case 21.

Air is introduced into the body 10 from outside using a fan or the like. The introduced air passes through the activated carbon filter 20 for reducing radon. At this time, the activated carbon 22 collects the radon gas.

The half-life of radon gas is 3.82 days. As the radon gas collapses, it changes into the daughter nuclei polonium, bismuth, lead and releases the gamma rays continuously.

A gamma ray measuring sensor 30 is coupled to the activated carbon filter 20 for reducing radon.

The gamma ray measuring sensor 30 measures a gamma ray generated when the radon captured by the activated carbon filter for reducing radon 20 collapses.

The control unit 40 predicts the amount of radon trapped in the activated carbon filter 20 for reducing radon based on the gamma ray measured by the gamma ray measuring sensor 30. When the gamma ray measuring sensor 30 measures gamma rays in real time, the controller 30 can accumulate the amount of gamma rays for a certain period of time. The amount of radon gas captured in the activated carbon 22 can be predicted from the accumulated amount of gamma rays. When the activated carbon 22 sufficiently collects the radon gas, it is necessary to replace the activated carbon filter 20 for reducing the radon. The control unit 40 can predict the amount of accumulated radon gas from the information of the gamma ray measurement sensor 30 and can display it outside through the display unit coupled to the body part 10. [

Meanwhile, the body 10 may further include a radio transmitter 50. The radio transmitter 50 can transmit the replacement timing of the activated carbon filter 20 for radon reduction to the external smart device. The smart device can be a smart phone.

As described above, the smart air purifier 100 for radon reduction according to the present embodiment can predict the replacement timing of the activated carbon filter 20 for reducing radon, based on the gamma-ray information of the gamma ray measurement sensor 30.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. Modifications and additions by those skilled in the art to an equivalent range based on the embodiments will also fall within the scope of the present invention.
