Description

Smart air purifier

The invention relates to an intelligent air purifier, in particular to an intelligent air purifier which can move automatically.

In the 1970s, people began to notice the connection between suspended particulate pollution and health problems. In the United States, the number of deaths caused by suspended particulate pollution is about 22,000-52,000 people each year, and in Europe this number is as high as 200,000. Today, many studies have confirmed that suspended particles can cause damage to the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, leading to asthma, lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, birth defects and premature death.

Data from the "China Air Purifier Market Demand Forecast and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report" released by the China Industrial Research Institute show that the future sales of East Asian air purifiers will maintain a rapid growth of 30% -35%, and it is expected that the air purifier market will be in 2017 The scale may exceed 100 billion yuan, and will reach more than 300 billion yuan in 2020.

In the long run, as consumers' awareness of air pollution and health improves, the market demand for air purifiers will increase. First, the rapid economic development produces external effects of environmental pollution, which lays the opportunity for the air purification market; second, the continuous improvement of purchasing power and the consumption demand for quality and health, and the formation of air health management awareness are the core of the long-term development of the air purification market The driving force will fundamentally promote the supply-side reform and the virtuous circle of the industry.

Air purifiers originated in fire protection applications. In 1823, John and Charles Dean invented a new type of smoke protection device that allows firefighters to avoid smoke intrusion when extinguishing fires. In 1854, a man named Johns Tenhouse made new progress on the basis of the invention of his predecessors: he found that if charcoal was added to the air filter, harmful and toxic gases could be filtered from the air. During World War II, the US government began to conduct research on radioactive materials. They needed to develop a way to filter out all harmful particles to keep the air clean and allow scientists to breathe, so a high-efficiency filter (HEPA) came into being. In the 1980s, the focus of air purification has shifted to air purification methods, such as home air purifiers.

The air purifier is usually composed of a fan and an air filter system. Its working principle is: a fan (also called a fan) in the machine circulates indoor air, and the polluted air removes or adsorbs various pollutants through the filter in the machine. To achieve the purpose of cleaning and purifying the air. Air purifiers are generally of wall type, hanging type, ceiling type and floor type; according to the air purification technology, they are divided into: HEPA air purifier, activated carbon air purifier, electronic air purifier, ultraviolet air purifier, Clean room air purifier, negative ion air purifier, ion wind air purifier, ozone air purifier, etc.

The future consumer demand points will focus on core performances such as formaldehyde and PM2.5, comfort and sanitation. Only companies with real R & D strength, technology accumulation and advantages can survive and develop in market competition. Which aspect will your air purifier develop? The development of multi-functionalization and intelligentization will be the future technical development direction.

Specialization-Professional companies do professional things and make products more professional.

Composite-multi-functional multi-pollutant collaborative purification technology. There are various types of pollutants in indoor air, including gaseous pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene series and VOC, as well as microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and molds, as well as particulate matter and radioactive pollution. Multi-functionalization is the goal of most products in the future. Since most homes have limited indoor space, an air purifier is required to purify various air pollutants at the same time.

Intelligent—make the product more user-friendly, more convenient to use and better experience. Intelligentization is one of the main directions for the future development of air purifiers. Many companies have entered the field of air purifiers, accelerating the development of air purifiers towards intelligence. Moreover, remote control of air purifiers using mobile APPs has become a trend, and a variety of home appliances are connected through wired and WiFi. The era of smart home interconnection is gradually coming.

Differentiation—Each company finds its position accurately to highlight its brand advantages. At present, there are many companies investing in the field of air purifiers, and the technologies used are also different. There are many brands on the market, and different air purifier brands are facing fierce competition. To avoid the waste of social resources caused by repeated research and development and fierce competition, air purifier companies need to find their own positioning, target different market areas, and conduct differentiated product development.

Reduce costs—through research and development of more affordable filter materials to reduce the overall price to increase penetration. At present, air purifiers are not very attractive to ordinary consumers. One reason is that the prices of products on the market are generally high, making consumers hesitant to buy air purifiers. For air purifier companies, Strengthen the research and development of the filter, reduce the cost and price of the filter, make the general consumer affordable, and increase the popularity of the air purifier.

I believe that the future air purifier will be more functional and intelligent. At present, there have been professional UV LED sterilization technology companies, and currently have successfully developed UV LED air sterilization modules. UV LEDs have been experimentally confirmed to have a high sterilization effect, with a sterilization rate of up to 99.9%, which can kill a variety of bacterial viruses in the air .

Finally, the development of self-propelled air purifiers will fundamentally promote the industrial development of air purifiers. In addition, the current usage rate of self-propelled air purifiers is low, so there will be huge market potential and space in the future. Therefore, the present invention provides an intelligent air purifier that can present indoor air quality at any time and automatically move according to the pollution points in the home Place in place for air purification at home.
