PROBLEMA TÉCNICO A RESOLVER Y ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN TECHNICAL PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Son conocidos diversos dispositivos de depuración que se incorporan a vehículos automóviles para capturar y filtrar el aire, tanto para el interior del vehículo como para la expulsión a la atmósfera, limpiando el aire de humos, partículas en suspensión, polen y otros contaminantes.  Various purification devices are known that are incorporated into motor vehicles to capture and filter the air, both for the interior of the vehicle and for expulsion into the atmosphere, cleaning the air of fumes, suspended particles, pollen and other pollutants.
No obstante, el convertir un vehículo en una depuradora de aire móvil no se ha generalizado, existiendo antecedentes en este sentido, como por ejemplo el documento de patente US3738088. En este documento ya se pretende convertir un vehículo en un depurador de aire móvil, existiendo inconvenientes, ventajas e inviabilidades de distinto orden que determinaron que su implementación en el motor de un vehículo y las metodologías de filtración no lograran un funcionamiento óptimo. En la actualidad hay muchos automóviles que disponen de múltiples sistemas para capturar y filtrar el aire, así como los propios gases y partículas contaminantes generadas en sus motores, pero carecen de la característica de aportar al ambiente un aire más limpio que el que recogen para poder ser un elemento más depurador que contaminador. Por otra parte, es conocido el documento EPA-456/R-05-006, fechado en Noviembre del 2005 de la Agencia de Protección Medioambiental estadounidense, (Environmental Protection Agency o EPA en sus siglas en inglés) y denominado "Usando plasma no térmico para controlar contaminantes de aire" preparado por el Centro de Tecnología del Aire Limpio (Clean Air Technology Center, o CATC en sus siglas en inglés). En dicho documento se explica el reactor de plasma no térmico de tipo DBD, de Descarga de Barrera Dieléctrica, que emplea un electrodo interno, un electrodo externo, en disposición coaxial y con un relleno de cuentas de vidrio, al igual que lo hace una parte del dispositivo de la invención que ahora se está intentando proteger. También son conocidos los filtros HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air), que consisten en filtros de aire de gran eficiencia aplicados en biomedicina, en aviones, en coches y en trenes. However, converting a vehicle into a mobile air purifier has not become widespread, and there is a background in this regard, such as US3738088. This document is already intended to convert a vehicle into a mobile air scrubber, there are inconveniences, advantages and infeasibilities of different order that determined that its implementation in the engine of a vehicle and filtration methodologies will not achieve optimal operation. At present there are many cars that have multiple systems to capture and filter the air, as well as the gases and polluting particles generated in their engines, but lack the characteristic of providing the environment with cleaner air than they collect to be able to Be an element more purifier than polluter. On the other hand, the document EPA-456 / R-05-006, dated November 2005 of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and known as "Using non-thermal plasma" to control air pollutants "prepared by the Clean Air Technology Center (CATC). This document explains the non-thermal plasma reactor of the DBD type, of Dielectric Barrier Discharge, which uses an internal electrode, an external electrode, in coaxial arrangement and with a filling of glass beads, just as a part does of the device of the invention that is now being tried to protect. Also known are HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters, which consist of highly efficient air filters applied in biomedicine, in airplanes, in cars and in trains.
Un documento de patente que refleja la utilización de estos filtros HEPA es la patente ES2266818, consistente, tal y como se expresa en su resumen en un sistema para crear de manera selectiva una presión positiva o negativa en una parte seleccionada del espacio de una sala. A patent document that reflects the use of these HEPA filters is patent ES2266818, consistent, as expressed in its summary in a system to selectively create a positive or negative pressure in a selected part of a room space.
Por otra parte, también se conocen los filtros electrostáticos aplicados a las unidades de recirculación de aire, tal como lo refleja el filtro electrostático de dos etapas de la patente ES21 13049. On the other hand, the electrostatic filters applied to the air recirculation units are also known, as reflected by the two-stage electrostatic filter of the ES21 13049 patent.
El estado de la técnica más cercano a la presente invención es el documento de patente P201130764 propiedad del mismo solicitante que la presente invención, en la que se describe un dispositivo con conducciones de aire en las que se intercala un ventilador- aspirador. Anteponiéndose al conjunto formado por las conducciones y el ventilador- aspirador hay unos elementos de filtración pasiva y mecánica del aire. A la salida del ventilador-aspirador hay un módulo de filtración activa en el que se incluyen uno o más conductos de plasma no térmico; de manera que cuando las conducciones más cercanas al referido módulo se bifurcan o ramifican dentro de dicho módulo determinan al menos dos salidas de aire limpio. Los componentes del conjunto se encuentran conectados a una unidad de control, conectados el vehículo y la unidad de control mediante una comunicación que puede ser de tipo mecánica, eléctrica, electrónica, optoelectrónica o una combinación cualquiera de las mismas. The state of the art closest to the present invention is the patent document P201130764 owned by the same applicant as the present invention, in which a device with air ducts in which a fan is inserted is described. vaccum cleaner. Before the set formed by the pipes and the fan-vacuum cleaner there are some elements of passive and mechanical air filtration. At the outlet of the fan-aspirator there is an active filtration module in which one or more non-thermal plasma ducts are included; so that when the conduits closest to the aforementioned module branch or branch within said module, they determine at least two clean air outlets. The components of the assembly are connected to a control unit, the vehicle and the control unit connected by means of a communication that can be of a mechanical, electrical, electronic, optoelectronic or any combination thereof.
No se conoce en el estado actual de la técnica ningún dispositivo para depurar el aire que presente la arquitectura, posibilidades de aplicación y viabilidad descritas en la presente invención, en el que se mejora la patente anteriormente citada P201130764 mediante la incorporación de un módulo catalítico y opcionalmente un módulo ionizador, según se puede apreciar en el ejemplo práctico de aplicación y mediante el juego de reivindicaciones que se presentan. It is not known in the current state of the art any device for purifying the air that has the architecture, application possibilities and feasibility described in the present invention, in which the aforementioned patent P201130764 is improved by incorporating a catalytic module and optionally an ionizing module, as can be seen in the practical example of application and by means of the set of claims presented.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE UNA REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
Seguidamente se realiza una descripción de un ejemplo de la invención haciendo alusión a las referencias de las figuras. Como puede verse en las figuras 1 a 3 que acompañan a este ejemplo de la invención, el dispositivo para depurar el aire de la misma comprende un vehículo 7 terrestre apreciable en la figura 1 , aunque en otros ejemplos podría ser otro tipo de vehículo 7.  Next, a description of an example of the invention is made by referring to the references of the figures. As can be seen in Figures 1 to 3 accompanying this example of the invention, the device for purifying the air thereof comprises an appreciable land vehicle 7 in Figure 1, although in other examples it could be another type of vehicle 7.
En la figura 1 , puede verse tomas (2) de aire ambiental sucio (1) y salidas (8) de aire limpio (9) en el vehículo 7. In figure 1, inlets (2) of dirty ambient air (1) and outlets (8) of clean air (9) can be seen in the vehicle 7.
En dicha figura se representa como el aire ambiental sucio (1) entra en el vehículo (7) a través de las tomas (2) ubicadas en el frontal del vehículo (7). Para obtener una eficacia óptima, las tomas (2) ocupan la mayor parte posible del frontal del vehículo (7) y convergen en sendos conductos de entrada (3), que terminan en un conducto principal (5). A la entrada de las tomas (2) se encuentran ubicados unos filtros HEPA para mejorar el proceso de purificación del aire sucio ambiental (1). This figure represents how dirty ambient air (1) enters the vehicle (7) through the sockets (2) located on the front of the vehicle (7). For optimum efficiency, the sockets (2) occupy as much as possible of the front of the vehicle (7) and converge in two inlet ducts (3), which end in a main duct (5). At the entrance of the sockets (2) HEPA filters are located to improve the process of purification of the dirty air (1).
El dispositivo de la invención se encuentra ubicado en cualquier parte a lo largo de la longitud del conducto principal (5). Aguas abajo, el conducto principal (5) vuelve a bifurcarse en dos conductos de salida (6) en los que se incorporan nuevos filtros, que pueden ser de tipo electrostático o reactores de plasma no térmico de descarga de barrea dieléctrica (DBD), y que se conectan a las salidas de aire (8) del vehículo (7) para entregar el aire limpio (9) al ambiente. The device of the invention is located anywhere along the length of the main duct (5). Downstream, the main duct (5) again forks in two outlet ducts (6) in which new filters are incorporated, which can be electrostatic type or non-thermal plasma reactors of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), and which are connected to the air outlets (8) of the vehicle (7) to deliver the clean air (9) to the environment.
El proceso está regido mediante una unidad central de control integrada en el bloque electrónico del vehículo (7) y cuyas únicas funciones son las de ajusfar el encendido y apagado de los componentes y el manejo de las velocidades y caudales de aire en tratamiento para optimización del rendimiento y duración de los filtros del dispositivo depurador. The process is governed by a central control unit integrated in the electronic block of the vehicle (7) and whose only functions are to adjust the on and off of the components and the handling of the speeds and air flow rates in treatment for optimization of the performance and duration of the filters of the debugging device.
En la figura 2 se representa una descomposición del dispositivo depurador en una forma de realización. En ella se puede ver el conducto principal (5) en el que está insertado el módulo catalítico (10), que se ha disgregado en sus dos componentes principales para una mejor comprensión de la circulación del aire en el dispositivo. Así, se ha representado una cámara que contiene una lámpara (1 1) de luz que puede ser ultravioleta o infrarroja conectada a un filtro (12) que puede ser de carbón activo o de dióxido de titanio. La salida del módulo catalítico (10) está conectado, mediante el conducto principal (5) a un ventilador (4) que aspira el aire y lo impulsa hacia la salida del conducto principal (5). A decomposition of the scrubber device in one embodiment is shown in Figure 2. In it you can see the main duct (5) in which the catalytic module (10) is inserted, which has broken down into its two main components for a better understanding of the air circulation in the device. Thus, a chamber containing a light lamp (1 1) that can be ultraviolet or infrared connected to a filter (12) that can be activated carbon or titanium dioxide has been represented. The output of the catalytic module (10) is connected, through the main duct (5) to a fan (4) that sucks the air and drives it towards the outlet of the main duct (5).
La salida del ventilador (4) está conectada a un módulo ionizador (13).
