Description

Indoor air purification device and method {APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PURIFYING INDOOR AIR}

This application relates to indoor air purification devices and methods. For example, the present application relates to an indoor air purification device on which plants are planted on the side and a method of indoor air purification using the same.

When a neutral particle loses electrons and becomes positively charged, it is called a positive ion. Conversely, when a neutral particle gains electrons and becomes negatively charged, it is called an anion. And when a neutral particle gains more electrons, the number of electrons increases and the repulsive force between electrons also increases. Therefore, when it becomes a negative ion, its size increases compared to when it is a neutral atom. In the case of positive ions, because they lose electrons, the repulsive force between electrons decreases, and in some cases, the number of electron shells decreases, which reduces the particle size. Recently, as positive awareness of negative ions has spread, such as that negative ions can help purify the air or regulate the body's autonomic nervous system, many products that utilize negative ions are being produced.

Figure 2 is a schematic block diagram of an indoor air purification device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to FIG. 2, the device 100 may include a first sensor unit 101, a static electricity generator 102, and an artificial rain generator 103.

According to one embodiment of the present application, the device 100 may be in the form of a wall with plants planted on the side.

As an example, the device 100 is in the form of a wall, and plants can be exposed to the outer surface of the wall, or plants can be hidden by being subducted into the inside of the wall. The plant may be a type of plant that can function to purify at least part of the air quality in the indoor space where the device 100 is installed, as the degree of air purification using the plant is more than a preset level, and the device 100 The type of plant planted is not limited to a specific type.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the first sensor unit 101 can generate indoor air information by sensing the indoor air quality of the target space where the device 100 is installed.

As an example, the first sensor unit 101 may sense indoor air information by sensing indoor air quality through at least one sensor provided in the device 100. For example, the plurality of sensors may include a temperature sensor, a fine dust detection sensor, a humidity sensor, an atmospheric pressure sensor, an oxygen sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, etc. Accordingly, the indoor air information that can be obtained using the plurality of sensors is the target space. It can broadly include the temperature of the air, level of fine dust, humidity, oxygen partial pressure, carbon dioxide partial pressure, etc.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present application, the present device 100 uses the first sensor unit 101 to calculate that the concentration of fine dust in the target space around the device 100 is higher than a predetermined level, etc. If it is determined that the air needs to be purified, the analog signal obtained through the first sensor unit 101 is converted into a digital signal through an A/D conversion unit (not shown), and the converted signal is processed by a microcomputer, etc. This processing means can be used to control at least one of the static electricity generator 102 and the artificial rain generator 103, which will be described later.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the static electricity generator 102 may generate a static electric field through a plurality of coils disposed on the surface of the wall based on indoor air information. In this regard, the static electricity generator 102 uses an electrostatic field in the target space around the device 100 to purify the air, deodorize the air, remove electromagnetic waves, reduce sick building syndrome, etc., and has the effect of reducing neurotransmitters. It may be configured to operate to generate a large amount of negative ions, which are known to have positive effects.

As an example, if the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information is greater than or equal to the first fine dust level and less than or equal to the second fine dust level, the static electricity generator 102 is configured to generate a plurality of devices disposed on the surface of the wall in the form of the present device 100. A static electric field can be generated with the first intensity through the coil. In addition, when the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information exceeds the second level of fine dust, the static electricity generator 102 may generate an electrostatic field at the second intensity through a plurality of coils disposed on the surface of the wall. . Additionally, the static electricity generator 102 may not generate a static electric field if the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information is less than the first level of fine dust. As an example, the first fine dust level may be set to a value or value smaller than the second fine dust level, and the first intensity may be set to be smaller than the second intensity. However, it is not limited to this, and the static electricity generator 102 generates static electric fields with different characteristics in various ways by comprehensively considering the indoor air quality of the space to be counted based on the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information. You can do it.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the artificial rain generator 103 may generate artificial rain based on indoor air information.

For example, if the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information is greater than or equal to the first level of fine dust and less than or equal to the level of second fine dust, the artificial rain generator 103 supplies water located on the upper part of the wall in the form of the present device 100. Artificial rainfall can be generated as the first precipitation from the top to the bottom through the nozzle. In addition, when the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information exceeds the second level of fine dust, the artificial rain generator 103 sprays water from the top to the bottom through a water nozzle located at the top of the wall in the form of this device 100. This can generate artificial rainfall as secondary precipitation. Additionally, the artificial rain generator 103 may not generate artificial rain if the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information is less than the first level of fine dust. The first level of fine dust may be smaller than the second level of fine dust, and the first precipitation amount may be smaller than the second precipitation amount. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the artificial rain generator 103 may generate artificial rain by varying the amount of precipitation based on the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information.

As another example, if the humidity included in the indoor air information is less than the first humidity, the artificial rain generator 103 generates the first humidity from the top to the bottom through the water injection port located at the top of the wall in the form of the present device 100. Precipitation can produce artificial rainfall. In addition, if the humidity included in the indoor air information is greater than or equal to the first humidity and less than or equal to the second humidity, the artificial rain generator 103 flows from the top to the bottom through the water nozzle located at the top of the wall in the form of the device 100. Artificial rainfall can be generated as secondary precipitation. Additionally, if the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information exceeds the second humidity, the artificial rain generator 103 may not generate artificial rain. The first humidity may be less than the second humidity, and the first precipitation may be greater than the second precipitation. The first precipitation related to fine dust and the first precipitation related to humidity may be the same or different, and the second precipitation related to fine dust and the second precipitation related to humidity may also be the same or different. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the artificial rain generator 103 may generate artificial rain by varying the amount of precipitation based on the humidity included in the indoor air information.

Additionally, the artificial rain generator 103 may assign weights to the level of fine dust and humidity included in indoor air information and generate artificial rain based on the weighted indoor air information. For example, if the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information exceeds the second level of fine dust and the humidity included in the indoor air information exceeds the second humidity, the artificial rain generator 103 converts the humidity into fine dust. Artificial rainfall may not be generated by prioritizing the degree of precipitation. As another example, as above, if the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information exceeds the second level of fine dust and the humidity included in the indoor air information exceeds the second humidity, the artificial rain generator 103 determines the level of fine dust. Artificial rain can be generated by taking precedence over humidity. The amount of precipitation at this time can also be adjusted to a preset value.

However, as another example, when the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information exceeds the second level of fine dust and the humidity included in the indoor air information exceeds the second humidity, the artificial rain generator 103 generates more than the second level of precipitation. Instead of generating artificial rainfall by weakening the rainfall or not generating artificial rainfall, the static electricity generator 102 can generate an electrostatic field by making the intensity stronger than the second century.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the static electricity generator 102 may adjust the generated static electric field based on indoor air information after the static electric field is generated.

For example, in a situation where the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information is above the first level of fine dust and below the level of second fine dust, if the level of fine dust decreases below the level of first fine dust, the static electricity generator 102 The electrostatic field that was generated at the first intensity may be generated at a relatively weak intensity, or the electrostatic field may not be generated. In addition, in a situation where the level of fine dust included in the indoor air information exceeds the level of second fine dust, if the level of fine dust is lowered to below the level of second fine dust due to the generation of the electrostatic field of the second strength of the static electricity generator 102, , the electrostatic field that was generated at the second intensity may or may not be generated at a relatively weak intensity (e.g., the first intensity).

According to an embodiment of the present application, the artificial rain generator may control the artificial rain generated based on indoor air information after the artificial rain is generated.

For example, in a situation where the level of fine dust included in the indoor dust information is greater than or equal to the first fine dust level or lower than the second fine dust level, if the fine dust level decreases to less than the first fine dust level, the artificial rain generator 103 The artificial rainfall that was generated as the first rainfall may be generated as a relatively weak rainfall or no artificial rainfall may be generated. In addition, in a situation where the level of fine dust included in the indoor dust information exceeds the second fine dust, when the level of fine dust falls below the second fine dust, the artificial rain generator 103 stops the artificial rain that was generated as the second precipitation. It may produce relatively weak precipitation or may not produce artificial rainfall.

As another example, when the humidity included in the indoor air information increases from less than the first humidity to more than the first humidity, the artificial rain generator 103 generates the artificial rain that was generated as the first precipitation as relatively weak precipitation. It may or may not generate artificial rainfall. In addition, when the humidity included in the indoor air information increases to exceed the second humidity in a situation where the first humidity is higher than the second humidity, the artificial rain generator 103 converts the artificial rain generated as the second precipitation into relatively weak precipitation. It may or may not produce artificial rainfall.

As another example, when the level of fine dust and humidity included in the indoor air information change, the artificial rain generator 103 changes the weight assigned to the degree of fine dust and humidity included in the indoor air information, or the weight assigned to it. It is possible to control the amount of artificial rainfall while maintaining .

However, as another example, when the level of fine dust and humidity included in the indoor air information change, the static electricity generator 102 and the artificial rain generator 103 generate electricity in consideration of the mutual electrostatic field strength and the amount of artificial rain. Shiki can control the strength of the electrostatic field and the amount of artificial rainfall.

Figure 3 is a schematic block diagram of an expanded configuration of an indoor air purifying device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to Figure 3, this device 100 includes a first sensor unit 101, a static electricity generator 102, an artificial rain generator 103, a second sensor unit 104, a filtration unit 105, and a water Transfer unit 106, plant management unit 107, third sensor unit 108, moving unit 109, wall opening/closing unit 110, charging unit 111, display unit 112, seating unit 113, fourth sensor It may include a unit 114, a transceiver unit 115, and a device control unit 116.

According to one embodiment of the present application, when the artificial rain reaches the lower part of the wall in the form of the device 100, it can be stored in an internal space located at the lower part of the wall.

For example, the internal space can store and maintain a preset minimum water capacity that allows the wall shape of the device 100 to remain upright even when the maximum number of allowable people is seated in the seating section 113, which will be described later. The internal space can be supplied with external water.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the second sensor unit 104 can generate water information by sensing the quality and quantity of water existing in the internal space.

The second sensor unit 104 senses the quality of water existing in the interior space through a plurality of sensors provided in the interior space, and determines how well it meets the purpose of purifying indoor air and preventing it from being harmful to the human body when evaporated. There is an effect that allows you to check whether it is done or not. In addition, the second sensor unit 104 has the effect of checking whether the preset minimum water quantity is maintained by sensing the quantity of water through a plurality of sensors provided in the internal space. At this time, the plurality of sensors in the internal space may include a water quality sensor, a weight sensor, etc., but are not limited thereto.

For example, if the water quantity included in the water information generated by the second sensor unit 104 is less than the preset minimum water quantity, the transceiver unit 115, which will be described later, transmits a notification requesting water supply to the user terminal 200. , the artificial rainfall generator 103 may not generate artificial rainfall while the amount of water accommodated in the internal space is less than the preset minimum water amount based on water information. Additionally, as an example, if the water quality included in the water information is polluted beyond a preset level, the artificial rain generator 103 may increase the amount of artificial rain. Additionally, if the water quality included in the water information is polluted below a preset level, the artificial rain generator 103 may reduce the amount of artificial rain.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the filtering unit 105 may filter water existing in the internal space based on water information.

For example, if the water quality included in the water information exceeds a preset level (for a more specific example, the concentration of a preset contaminant exceeds a preset threshold concentration, etc.), the filtration unit 105 is included in the water information. The water existing in the internal space can be filtered until the water quality falls below a preset level. The filtering unit 105 may use at least one filter provided in the internal space, but is not limited thereto.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the water transport unit 106 can transport water existing in the internal space to be used as artificial rainfall based on the control of the artificial rainfall generator 103.

For example, if the quality of the water existing in the internal space is filtered below the preset contamination level by the filtration unit 105, the water transport unit 106 operates in the internal space based on the control of the artificial rain generator 103. The filtered water present can be transferred to be used as artificial rainfall. Water may be transported by a pump provided in the device 100, but is not limited thereto. In addition, even if the artificial rain generator 103 transmits a control signal for water transport to the water transport unit 106, if the water quality of the water existing in the internal space exceeds the preset contamination level, the water transport unit 106 sends the water to the internal space. Existing water may not be transported.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the plant management unit 107 can manage the growth of plants.

The plant management unit 107 can manage the growth of plants planted in the device 100. The plant may be a plant whose air purification level is higher than a preset level. The plant management unit 107 can manage the target plants planted in the device 100, such as watering, providing light, and supplying fertilizer.

As an example, the plant management unit 107 divides a plurality of target plants planted in the device 100 into living plants, plants requiring management, and plants that are dead or unlikely to be revived, and the transceiver unit 115, which will be described later, classifies the plants as living plants. Information, plant information requiring management, and plant information that is dead or unlikely to be revived can be transmitted to the user terminal 200.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the third sensor unit 108 can generate plant environment information by sensing plants and their growth environment.

As an example, the third sensor unit 108 may generate plant environment information by sensing the target plant and the growth environment of the target plant through a plurality of sensors provided in the periphery of the target plant planted in the device 100. . For example, the third sensor unit 108 may acquire image information of a target plant through a camera sensor, determine the species of the plant through the image information of the target plant, and include it in the plant environment information. In addition, the third sensor unit 108 provides photosynthetic information of the target plant planted in the device 100, the degree of oxygen generation, the degree of oxygen absorption, the degree of carbon dioxide generation, the degree of carbon dioxide absorption, the amount of light around the target plant, and the degree of carbon dioxide absorption around the target plant. Plant environment information can be generated by sensing air partial pressure, soil quality where the target plant is planted, and moisture around the target plant.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the plant management unit 107 may manage plant vegetation based on plant environment information.

For example, if the amount of light around the target plant included in the plant environment information is less than a preset level, the plant management unit 107 determines the amount of light around the target plant through plant growth lighting (not shown) provided in the device 100. Light can be applied to the target plant so that it exceeds this preset level.

Also, as an example, if the moisture (humidity) around the target plant included in the plant environment information is less than a preset level, the plant management unit 107 sets the water transfer unit 106 to ensure that the moisture (humidity) around the target plant is above the preset level. ) can be controlled to supply water to the target plant. At this time, the pipe through which water moves through the water transport unit 106 may be connected to the water injection port at the top of the device 100 and the planted target plant.

Also, as an example, if the quality of the soil in which the target plant included in the plant environment information is planted is not suitable for growing the target plant (is it out of the pH range suitable for plant growth, is there a lack of chemical components necessary for plant growth, etc.) ), the plant management unit 107 controls the transmitting and receiving unit 115 to inform the user terminal 200 of necessary items (e.g., culture soil or fertilizer) or to the seller terminal to inform the necessary goods (e.g., culture soil or fertilizer) You can order.

Additionally, as an example, the plant management unit 107 may manage the target plant according to the growth method corresponding to the species of the target plant included in the plant environment information. For example, if the target plant is a species called A, and there is a growth method that requires A to be watered once every two weeks and fertilizer A to be supplied once a month, the plant management unit 107 may apply the growth method to target plant A. Accordingly, you can supply water and fertilizer once every two weeks. At this time, a fertilizer supplier may be provided in the device 100.

Additionally, if multiple species of plants are planted in the apparatus 100, the plant management unit 107 can individually manage the target plants according to the growth method corresponding to the species of the target plants.

As another example, if the carbon dioxide generation amount of the target plant included in the plant environment information is more than a preset level and the location of the user terminal 200 is located within a preset radius of the device 100, the moving unit 109 moves the target plant. The device 100 can be moved to a location furthest from the location of the user terminal 200 in space.
