Description

Air purifier with a function of purifying viruses and bacteria in the air{Air Cleaner}

The present invention relates to an air purifier with a function of purifying airborne viruses and bacteria.

Various bacteria and viruses exist in the air that humans need to breathe and live.

Recently, due to the Corona 19 virus crisis, not only Korea but also many countries around the world are doing their best to control or block movement between countries, such as airplanes, while sharing various policies to prevent or overcome Corona 19, and schools are also closed.

Most conventional air purifiers are HEPA filter type air purifiers, which can filter out ultrafine dust and bacteria, but have a problem in that they cannot completely purify small viruses.

Viruses are very small, with a diameter of 20-250 nm, whereas the smallest bacteria have a size of about 400 nm. The nucleic acid core that carries the genome, which is the gene assembly of a virus, is composed of DNA or RNA. The capsid that protects the nucleic acid also contains molecules that allow the virus to enter the appropriate host cell.

Viruses exist as dormant particles outside of living cells, but when they enter a suitable host cell, they have an activity capable of disrupting the metabolic activity of the host cell for proliferation. In the proliferation of viruses, nucleic acids or proteins enter the host, and if they enter or invade the human body, they may suffer from various diseases or diseases, and in severe cases, they may die.

And viruses consist of a single or double-stranded nucleic acid core surrounded by a protein capsid. Some viruses are enveloped in an envelope made of fat and protein. The nucleic acid core that carries the genome, which is the gene assembly of a virus, is composed of DNA or RNA.

The present invention relates to an air purifier having a function of purifying viruses and bacteria in the air, which is capable of supplying safe air free of microorganisms or viruses for breathing by killing airborne bacteria or viruses, which are droplet propagation materials, like Corona 19 virus at high temperature.

Recently, air pollution has deepened, so fine dust and ultra-fine dust that are harmful to the human body, and now Corona 19, are at a serious level. It's getting worse day by day.

Therefore, from a long time ago, air purifiers that can supply clean air by inhaling polluted air containing fine dust and ultra-fine dust, separating and filtering pollutants have been sold and used in the market.

However, recently, there has been a problem in that air pollution can contaminate indoor air not only with ultrafine dust, but also with bacteria or various types of viruses other than COVID-19, and virus propagation due to virus carriers.

In particular, viruses have a problem of passing through a bacterial filter that filters out bacteria as they are much smaller than bacteria with a size of 30 to 200 nm. And a virus is composed of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) and protein, and the nucleic acid is surrounded by a protein capsid. Some viruses are also encased in a membrane mixed with fat in addition to protein. The protein shell contains molecules that help the virus enter a suitable host cell.

Diseases caused by viruses include colds, flu, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), polio, hepatitis, measles, smallpox, rubella, and chickenpox. In general, the treatment of viral diseases is not easy because it is difficult to develop drugs that selectively act only on viruses. Viruses live inside the host cells, so if you destroy the virus with drugs, the host cells also suffer damage. Another reason may be that viruses are prone to mutations and thus the effectiveness of therapeutics is low.

Recently, air pollutants, such as COVID-19, transmitted from person to person through respiratory droplets through saliva, coughing, or sneezing are not only socially and economically damaging, but also social distancing and self-isolation, as well as from fans, air conditioners, and air conditioners. It was necessary to purify the air or to kill or remove it to solve the problem caused by viruses that can also spread.

The present invention relates to an air purifier with a function of purifying airborne viruses and bacteria.
