Description

Contaminated air sterilization system in livestock farms

The present invention relates to a system for sterilizing polluted air in a livestock kennel, and more particularly, a part of the air outside the kennel in a state in which it is separately installed in the form of a tower structure outside the livestock yard for breeding various livestock such as chickens, ducks, cattle, and pigs. Of course, the inside of a rectangular enclosure-type case in which a plurality of UV-C lamps or light emitting diode modules are built-in, which continuously inhales contaminated internal air from the top and irradiates ultraviolet rays in a wavelength range of about 100 to 280 nm. Through ultraviolet rays, the sterilized air is evenly distributed in proximity to various livestock through a number of branch ducts after eradicating various germs such as viruses and bacteria contained in the air in the livestock farm as well as some of the outside air of the livestock farm through UV rays. By making it possible to re-supply, it is possible to prevent in advance the infection of breeding workers, including various livestock, due to various infectious bacteria and viruses contained in the contaminated air, as well as being able to prevent infection by pre-infected livestock or people. Secondary infection and infection of other livestock and people can be prevented in advance, and cooling and heating functions are added to the side to which the sterilized air is distributed. In the winter, by heating and supplying to the desired temperature, it is possible to efficiently conduct cooling and heating at a low cost and to sterilize contaminated air in the livestock breeding facility, which was invented to safely breed livestock in a comfortable environment. It's about the system.

The World Health Organization (WHO) distinguishes between the first human infection and the viral transfer of influenza as a six-step process leading to a viral pandemic.

This is because there are many cases where the virus is transmitted from animals to humans, and the infection of the new virus ends as a global epidemic through the direct spread of the animal-infecting virus to humans.

In order to cope with the spread of infectious diseases in Korea, the government has set the 'National Epidemic Disaster Disaster Stage' with 4 stages of 'Attention-Caution-Vigilance-Severe'.

In the event of an outbreak of a new virus-related infectious disease abroad or a patient with an unknown cause in Korea, the 'interest' stage is activated to monitor signs.

In the event of an influx of a new infectious disease from abroad or an outbreak of a new infectious disease, it has been upgraded to 'caution'.

In the case of an epidemic spreading to other regions, it becomes a 'warning' stage, and a 24-hour emergency quarantine system is maintained by strengthening the countermeasure headquarters and operating a pan-government cooperation system.

As interest in medical-related infections increases, infection control is being emphasized as an essential role played by medical institutions.

On the other hand, avian influenza is an acute viral disease that infects chickens, ducks, turkeys and wild birds. It is classified as List A by the Office of International Fisheries Service (OIE). The avian influenza virus, the causative agent, is a common viral virus, and it is classified into highly pathogenic, weakly pathogenic, and non-pathogenic according to pathogenicity, and can be classified into 135 types according to serotype (15 types of HA protein, 9 types of NA protein).

Avian influenza viruses that have recently been transmitted to humans include H5N1 and H9N2. Avian influenza viruses are spread by droplets, air, and water, but the main transmission factor is feces on human hands, feet, feed trucks, tools, and equipment. buried and spread indirectly.

Around the world, poultry deaths due to avian influenza virus infection, the cost of culling, labor costs for prevention, and environmental pollution damage due to quarantine are occurring repeatedly every year without special measures.

When avian influenza occurs, most countries all over the world slaughter and landfill, and as poultry products cannot be exported to the affected countries, it causes enormous losses to poultry farms, including poultry farms, as well as to the nation.

Looking at the domestic and foreign trends on avian influenza, in the case of Korea, the development of avian influenza vaccine is in progress, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and government research institutes are reviewing the safety of future use. In the current situation, prevention such as limiting the movement of poultry and feed transport vehicles and people is being implemented.

Overseas, the U.S. and some advanced countries have completed the development of avian influenza vaccine, but the safety of its use is under review. there is a situation.

When quarantine and movement restrictions are implemented as described above, a large amount of manpower is required, but there is a problem that complete eradication of the avian influenza virus is impossible.

In addition, when the avian influenza vaccine is used, it is economically expensive and there is a problem in that it can infect the human body.

Moreover, in terms of promoting new virus mutation by using a vaccine, there is an urgent need to find a new way to prevent avian influenza.

On the other hand, looking at the conventional livestock ventilation system, a number of applications and registrations have been made in addition to Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-0819371 (title of invention: automatic ventilation system for livestock) (hereinafter referred to as prior art).

The prior invention relates to a system for purifying the air in a livestock barn through ventilation, and as livestock farms in Korea have become large and complex, many livestock are densely reared inside a standardized barn, so that any one livestock farmer has avian flu, foot-and-mouth disease. , when infected with infectious diseases such as mad cow disease, the air emitted from the barn is released in a severely contaminated state, and there is a problem in that infectious bacteria are spread to nearby barns.

In addition, in the case of a livestock ventilation system for both air cleaning and air purification having an air purification function, in addition to the prior invention, the inconvenience of periodically replacing the filter by using an antibacterial filter or the like followed.

In addition, as another prior art, there is Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-1260937 (Title of the invention: air cleaning combined livestock ventilation system) (hereinafter, registered prior art).

The registered prior art includes a ventilation unit for introducing air outside the barn into the inside of the barn; an exhaust unit for discharging the air inside the barn to the outside of the barn; a measuring unit for measuring the pollution level of the air inside the livestock; a lighting unit installed inside the barn to generate light; a purification unit located inside the barn to absorb the light of the lighting unit, and cause a photocatalytic reaction using plasmon to purify the air in the barn; and a control unit for controlling to emit bright light from the lighting unit when the air pollution is higher than a preset reference value according to the air pollution level measured by the measurement unit, and to emit weak light from the lighting unit when it is less than or equal to a preset reference value; It is characterized in that it includes.

Viruses contained in the air in the livestock farm circulating by ultraviolet rays in a wavelength range of about 100 to 280 nm irradiated from a plurality of UV-C lamps or light emitting diode modules 50 in the process of passing it through and supplying it back into the livestock farm 10 And the main technical component is to eradicate various germs such as bacteria through ultraviolet rays and then supply the sterilized air to the various livestock through a plurality of branch ducts 60 to evenly circulate and re-supply the sterilized air.

At this time, the case 20 corresponds to the main body of the system of the present invention, and in order to prevent damage to the human body due to UV-C ultraviolet leakage, as well as hardening and shortening of the product itself, in advance, metal with stainless steel or aluminum, etc. It has a shape molded into a hollow rectangular housing structure using a plate material.

In addition, the case 20 includes UV-C lamps or light emitting diode modules 50 installed therein on the front surface of the first and second filters 71 and 72, the control unit 100, etc. In order to smoothly perform replacement, etc., it has a shape provided with a door 21, and an air inlet 22 connected to an intake duct 30 to be described later is formed on the upper surface, and a branch duct 60 to be described later on the bottom surface. ) and a plurality of air outlets 23 are formed, and legs 24 for installing the case 20 itself in the form of a tower on the external site of the livestock kennel 10 are provided at the inner corner of the bottom surface, A roof 25 is formed on the upper surface to prevent rain or snow from flowing into the inside of the case 20 and at the same time to minimize the influence of sunlight.

A function of sucking the contaminated air in the livestock kennel 10 through the respective air intake holes 31 and delivering it into the case 20 when the blowing fan 40, which is installed long in the upper part, is operated, which will be described later. carry out

In addition, in the present invention, when the intake duct 30 having a relatively long length is formed, an air intake amount adjusting means 32 capable of adjusting the intake amount of air introduced through each air intake hole 31 is further provided. made it

At this time, various methods can be proposed as the air intake amount adjusting means 32. In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the diameter of the air intake hole 31 formed at the bottom of the intake duct 30 ( Φ) is formed to be gradually larger as it goes away from the blowing fan 40, or to have the same diameter as in FIG. has formed

Therefore, regardless of the distance to which the suction pressure of the blowing fan 40 exerts, the same amount of air can be sucked from all the air suction holes 31 having different diameters or different numbers of formation and delivered to the case 20 side. In the operation of (40), the air in the livestock kennel 10 is sucked in an even amount through the respective air intake holes 31 in the intake duct 30 and UV sterilization can be performed, thereby sterilizing the contaminated air of the livestock kennel. The effect can be greatly increased.

In addition, the outside air inlet duct 160 has a form installed in communication with the intake duct 30 from the outside of the livestock breeding house 10, and the intake duct 30 corresponds to the driving of a blower fan 40 to be described later. ), when the contaminated air in the livestock breeding house is forcibly sucked and introduced into the case 20, it performs a function of allowing a part of the external air of the livestock breeding station 10 to be automatically sucked in by the venturi effect.

In this way, by further providing an external air inlet duct 160 to communicate with the intake duct 30, the polluted air in the livestock kennel is forcibly sucked through the intake duct 30 in response to the driving of the blower fan 40. When introduced into the case 20, part of the outside air of the livestock kennel 10 is automatically sucked in and diluted with the contaminated air in the livestock yard, so that various kinds of dust contained in the air in the livestock kennel 10 acts as a bad smell ammonia Concentrations such as gas and carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) can be significantly reduced.

Accordingly, it is possible to keep the quality of the air re-supplied in the livestock breeding house fresher in response to the input amount of external air, and it is possible to significantly reduce the degree of odor and the amount of carbon dioxide.

In this case, the outside air inlet duct 160 may be installed at any position of the input part or the output part of the blower fan 40 among the intake ducts 30 outside the livestock breeding house 10 .

On the other hand, the blowing fan 40 has a form installed between the outer end of the intake duct 30 installed extending to the outside of the livestock breeding house 10 and the air inlet 22 of the case 20, the control unit 100 It operates in response to a driving signal of By blowing back into the livestock kennel 10 through the branch ducts 60 connected to the air outlet 23 of the case 20 provided with the 50, the air in the livestock yard including a part of the outside air of the livestock kennel is automatically circulated. function to make it happen.

At this time, the size or output of the blowing fan 40 is determined corresponding to the indoor space area of the livestock breeding house 10 to which the system of the present invention is to be applied, as well as its rotational speed is determined by the operator as described later by the operator (80) has the set rotation speed.

In addition, the UV-C lamp or light emitting diode module 50 has at least one (actually a plurality) installed on the inner wall of the case 20, and corresponds to the output signal of the control unit 100 to be described later. The light is turned off, and UV-C ultraviolet rays of a predetermined wavelength band (for example, a wavelength band of 100 to 280 nm) are irradiated to the air of the livestock breeding house 10 , which is forcibly circulated by the blower fan 40 , and the inside of the case 20 . It performs the function of removing various bacteria and viruses contained in the air passing through it.

At this time, the number of installations of the UV-C lamp or light emitting diode module 50 is the internal area of the case 20 and the blowing fan ( 40), of course, the lighting output may be determined by the UV-C UV output set by the administrator through the manipulation unit 80, as will be described later.

Here, looking at the types of ultraviolet rays, they are divided into UV-A (long wave; 320~400nm), UV-B (medium wave; 280~320nm), and UV-C (short wave) depending on the wavelength, where the wavelength involved in sterilization is It is a short wavelength as UV-C, and the range of UV-C wavelength is about 100 to 280 nm.

In addition, the plurality of branch ducts 60 have a shape formed in a square or cylindrical shape using a galvanized steel sheet or the like, similarly to the intake duct 30 described above, and a plurality of air outlet holes 61 are provided at a predetermined distance on the bottom surface. In a form formed with a , the intake duct 30 is installed at a predetermined interval in the middle part of the livestock kennel 10 lower than the installation position, and the outer end is installed at a predetermined interval in response to the arrangement interval of the livestock, respectively, of the case 20 It has a form coupled to a plurality of air outlets 23 provided on the bottom surface.

These branch ducts 60 pass through the inside of the case 20 in response to the blowing pressure of the blowing fan 40 and pass sterilized clean air through the air outlets 23 provided on the bottom of the case 20 . It receives a branch input and performs a function of uniformly resupplying the various livestock being raised in the livestock breeding facility 10 .

At this time, the intake duct 30 and the branch duct 60 are generally molded and installed in a square or cylindrical shape using a widely known tin plate, but if necessary, a flexible bellows duct molded from aluminum It can also be used by installing a hose, etc.

In addition, in the present invention, when forming a plurality of branch ducts 60 having a relatively long length, an air discharge control means 62 that can control the amount of air discharged through each air discharge hole 61 is further added. provided it

At this time, various methods can be provided as the air intake amount adjusting means 32. In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, angle adjustment can be arbitrarily performed in the branch duct 60 in which the air discharge hole 61 is formed. The dampers 621 are installed in the form, but as the distance from the air outlet 23 of the case 20 increases, the angle of the damper 621 is adjusted so that the area blocking the inside of the branch duct 60 gradually becomes wider.

Therefore, the same amount of clean air can be discharged from all the air outlet holes 61 formed at different positions regardless of the distance that the blowing pressure of the blower fan 40 exerts, and can be equally delivered to the livestock, so that the branching The delivery of clean air through the ducts 60 can be provided more efficiently and evenly.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4 , the first and second filters 71 and 72 are installed interchangeably at positions close to the air inlet 22 and the air outlet 23 in the case 20 . In response to the operation of the blowing fan 40 provided in the intake duct 30, some of the outside air of the livestock breeding house 10 through the external air inlet duct 160 as well as the contaminated air in the livestock breeding station 10 is removed. When forcibly introduced into the case 20, the first filter 71 primarily filters most of the relatively coarse dust and various bacteria and viruses contained in the incoming air, and the In the second filter 72 before the sterilized air passing through the inside of the case 20 is distributed back to the livestock breeding house 10 through the branch duct 60 connected to the air outlet 23, the fine particles remaining in the clean air It performs the function of secondary filtering of dust and various bacteria and viruses.

Therefore, it is possible to continuously supply clean air to the livestock breeding ground, and to maintain a pleasant internal environment of the livestock breeding ground.

At this time, only a HEPA filter may be installed as the first and second filters 71 and 72, but in this case, there is a limit to the function, so a primary pre-filter that removes large particles of dust is installed on the upper surface. A HEPA filter that removes harmful microorganisms and radioactive dust may be installed on the bottom surface of the secondary HEPA filter, and furthermore, a tertiary photocatalyst that removes viruses and bacteria that have passed through the primary and secondary filters on the bottom of the secondary HEPA filter A zeolite filter may be further provided.

In addition, to the outside of the first and second filters 71 and 72 to prevent damage to the filter itself by the blowing pressure of the blowing fan 40 and to make storage, management and replacement convenient at the same time It is preferable to further provide a protective net, etc., not shown.

In addition, the display unit 90 is installed on the front side of the case 20 in response to the output signal of the control unit 100, the blower fan 40 and UV-C lamp or light-emitting diode module 50, etc. It performs the function of displaying various status information including status.

In addition, the control unit 100 includes a microcomputer (not shown), a timer, a storage device, and the like, and at the same time, a predetermined control processor, etc. In response to the signal, the overall control function of the system of the present invention including the blowing fan 40 and UV-C lamp or light emitting diode module 50 and the display unit 90 is performed.

At this time, although the process executed by the control unit 100 has been described as being executed by a software routine, at least some of the processes of the present invention may be performed by hardware. As such, the processes may be implemented in software executed on a computer system, implemented in hardware such as an integrated circuit, or implemented by a combination of software and hardware.

On the other hand, in the present invention, in addition to the above components, at least one temperature sensor 110 is installed inside the livestock kennel 10 or case 20 to detect the internal temperature of the livestock kennel or case 20 in real time. In order to transmit to the control unit 100 and at the same time as wrapping the branch ducts 60 at the bottom of the case 20, a cooling/heating machine 120 having a cooling function and a heating function at the same time is further installed, and the control unit 100 In response to the internal temperature of the livestock breeding house 10 or the case 20, a function to properly control the air conditioner and heater 120 was added.

Accordingly, when the system of the present invention is operating, the control unit 100 detects the internal temperature of the livestock kennel or case 20 in real time through the temperature sensors 110 and at the same time sets it by the administrator or enters a preset within itself. If the internal temperature of the livestock breeding house 10 or case 20 detected through the temperature sensor 110 reaches the heating or cooling set temperature by comparing it with the set heating or cooling temperature, By operating the 120 as either a heating or cooling function, sterilization is made by UV-C ultraviolet rays in the process of passing through the case 20 and then evenly re-supplied to the livestock kennel through each branch duct 60 . In response to the current operating mode of the cooling/heating machine 120, the temperature of the clean air is decreased or increased to the heating or cooling set temperature desired by the manager.

That is, in the hot summer in the cooling and heating unit 120 that is automatically controlled by the control unit 100 without separately installing an expensive cooling and heating unit inside the livestock kennel 10, the branch ducts 60 pass through The temperature of the sterilized air is cooled to the cooling set temperature range and supplied, and in the very cold winter, it is heated and supplied to the heating set temperature range. Not only can it be carried out efficiently at a cost, but also livestock can be safely reared in a comfortable environment regardless of the season.

Of course, in spring or autumn, the internal temperature of the livestock breeding house 10 or the case 20 detected through the temperature sensor 110 is lower than the heating set temperature or higher than the cooling set temperature, so the control unit 100 has the case ( 20) Since the operation of the air conditioner and heater 120 installed in the form of enclosing the branch ducts 60 at the bottom is blocked, unnecessary power consumption, etc. can be prevented.

In addition, in the present invention, at least one blower fan 130 is further installed inside the case 20 in a direction perpendicular to the air flow direction as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 .

Therefore, by the blowing pressure of the blowing fan 40, the air inside and outside the livestock kennel is introduced into the inside of the case 20 through the intake duct 30, and then sterilized by UV-C ultraviolet rays, and then the branch duct ( In the circulation process of being re-sent back to the livestock breeding ground through 60), the blower fans 130 are automatically rotated by the blowing pressure of the blowing fan 40 and the external air of the livestock breeding ground introduced into the case 20 The air introduced into the case 20 and the UV-C lamp or light emitting diode module 50 are irradiated with the air introduced into the case 20 because the polluted air in the livestock breeding house in a mixed form is rotated inside the case 20. The contact time between UV-C and UV rays is delayed by that much.

Therefore, it is possible to further increase the sterilization efficiency of the polluted air in the livestock farm, including some air introduced from the outside of the livestock farm, and thus more effectively increase the UV-C UV eradication efficiency and effect on various infectious bacteria (viruses and bacteria, etc.) It is possible to further increase the preventive effect against infection of livestock and breeders due to various infectious bacteria and viruses contained in the air inside and outside the livestock farm, as well as secondary transmission and infection by pre-infected people and livestock. .

Since it can give concentrated reflection to the central part of the case 20 through which UV-C ultraviolet rays and air contact time can be increased, it is possible to increase the contact time of the air with the outside air including the contaminated air of the circulating livestock farm through the inlet duct 160 . It is possible to further increase the effect of eradicating various bacteria such as viruses and bacteria included in the inflow of air partially introduced from the outside of the livestock farm.
