Description

AIR CLEANING AND COMFORT SYSTEMS IN WHITE GOODS AND MOBILE DEVICES

TECHNICAL FIELD

BACKGROUND

The most important thing for human life is air. Polluted, infected, or deteriorated air can have fatal consequences. As humans become more urbanized and modernized, they begin to live and work in shared spaces, leading to dense living conditions. This situation, along with modernization, has brought many negative consequences such as environmental pollution, air pollution, allergens, and pandemics. While people started to produce comfort on one hand, they began to lose their health on the other.

With technological advancements, air cleaning technologies have also developed, and air cleaners that provide significant improvements in quality of life are being produced. These technologies include different techniques such as full spectrum light, particularly LED, UVC, H202, ozone, air filtration, and ionization. Generally, these technologies are produced as portable devices, but they can also be installed into existing air conditioning systems. Their function depends on their quality and system, but they generally perform the task of air cleaning. However, consumers are almost obliged to purchase and position all of these devices in a corner of their living space or integrate them into a system.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

According to this patent, when this technology is positioned on the devices that are generally fixed and called white goods, such as TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, ovens, hoods, and dishwashers, as well as mobile devices such as cell phones, tablets, computers, glasses, and watches, it not only disinfects the environment but also improves the air quality. These devices can be moved around and positioned in different areas to provide the air cleaning and disinfection functions.

When users purchase a cell phone or refrigerator, they will also have an air cleaning device integrated into the entire system.

As people start living and working in shared spaces, it leads to faster spread of microorganisms in the air such as allergens, pandemic diseases, mold, fungi, and odors. These can reduce people's comfort, decrease work productivity, harm the economy, reduce socialization due to people avoiding shared spaces, and most importantly, cause serious harm to people's health. Our developed system prevents the spread of microorganisms, reduces airborne particles, allergens, and bacteria, and reduces the presence of viruses in the air. The system uses a combination of electrostatic charge and ionization to attract particles to each other and to the ground for discharge, resulting in cleaner and more comfortable environments. Additionally, it breaks down and disrupts the structure of odor molecules, resulting in a fresher and more pleasant environment. The system effectively combats all types of microorganisms present in the space by disrupting their structure and rendering them inactive. The dust and odor filter on the white goods helps keep the home clean by capturing dust, pollutants, odors, and microorganisms. The system can also be used as a fan without a filter, where ionization and ozone emission are achieved through the fan, contributing to disinfection and improved air quality.

The invention is the integrated production and sale of the air cleaning device together with various devices such as refrigerator, TV, washing machine, mobile phone, glasses, watch, etc. as a single unit, and its use by the consumer.

The system improves work efficiency and contributes to the economy. It reduces medical expenses by protecting human health. It provides employers with a more efficient and problem-free work environment. It significantly increases the ability of people to work and live in any environment, thereby preserving public health. It prevents the spread of microorganisms. It provides a decrease in headaches. It reduces asthma attacks and their effects. It reduces respiratory allergies. It improves sleep quality. It reduces airborne particles, allergens, and bacteria. It increases the oxygen level in the blood. The system helps dust particles release their electrical charge and settle on the ground. It enhances mental concentration and increases work productivity. It reduces stress and increases work focus. The system breaks down odor molecules to create a cleaner and more comfortable environment. It contributes to the effective fight against all kinds of microorganisms present in the environment, rendering them inactive by breaking down their structure. Thanks to its optional filter on white goods, it also helps to keep the house clean by capturing dust and pollutants in the air.

The application of this technology on portable devices such as laptops, tablets, mobile phones, and glasses provides a safe environment with mobile air cleaning and disinfection features during personal travels or in any enclosed or outdoor space where the technology is actively working. This improves the quality of life and prevents communicable diseases.

The presence of a biodefense and air cleaning device on the glasses, mobile phone, watch or computer of a public transportation passenger can provide a safer and more comfortable travel experience. If multiple passengers have these devices on their mobile devices, safe travel, public comfort, public health, and air quality will be at their highest levels. Similarly, if a person is in any closed environment, effective protection is provided. If necessary, it can be deactivated when the air quality is improved with the help of air quality sensors.

The subject of the invention is a system that aims to increase air quality and disinfect the environment where it is placed by positioning the technology on appliances that are generally fixed, also known as white goods, such as refrigerator, washing machine, oven, hood, dishwasher, and TV, as well as on mobile devices such as smartphones, computers, and glasses.

The subject of the invention is aimed at enhancing the quality of life of individuals and the protection of public health by enabling people to work in any type of environment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

An ionizer (3) (Negative and Bipolar Ion): Ionizer is one of the most advanced air cleaning technologies available today. It releases positive and negative ions, thus reducing and disinfecting bad odors in the room. While negative ions carry a negative charge, almost all particles in the air carry a positive charge. Ions and airborne particles attract each other magnetically. When there is a sufficient concentration of negative ions in the air, they attract airborne particles. This causes the particles to become heavy and eventually fall to the ground, preventing harmful particles from being drawn into the respiratory system. This provides a refreshing atmosphere in the living environment. In addition, it collects dust, pollen, and small allergenic particles in the air. As particles grow, they are more effectively trapped by the filter, improving the air cleaning efficiency.

UVC, various wavelengths of the LED light and light beams (1 ), are mainly used for sterilization and assist in sterilization function. Light technology is a method of disinfection that is used to kill or render microorganisms ineffective by destroying their nucleic acids, damaging their DNA and cell membranes, and disabling their vital cellular functions.

The working principle of ozone generators (2) is to convert the two-atomic oxygen present in the air into three-atomic ozone gas. Ozone devices only require air and electricity to operate and do not require any additional liquid or similar substances. The ozone generators (2) are devices that produce ozone gas, which converts the air we breathe into ozone. These generators (2) are used in various areas of life to achieve disinfection, oxidation, and improvement of living quality purposes. When the ionizer (3), the ozone generator (2), the UVC and LED (1 ) work together, they enhance each other's effects. These components can work separately or in series or parallel. With the help of a fan and filter (4), air distribution is increased, which enhances air quality and disinfection, and also captures any type of airborne particles. The fan and filter (4) can also be used separately as a fan only, depending on the need. If necessary, the system can also work without a fan.

The fan and filter (4), ozone or H202 (2), the ionizer (3), and the UVC and LED light (1 ) technologies can be used separately or together in white goods or all mobile devices. For example, in Fig.3, both the fan and filter (4) and the UVC and LED (1 ) can be used in addition to the computer.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to air cleaning and comfort systems in white goods and mobile devices, which can be applied in stationary and portable devices in all open and closed areas.
