Multi-functional indoor air quality control system

Abstract

A multi-functional air quality control system including an air conditioner system member for regulating air temperature, an exhaust system member for regulating air pollution, a dehumidifier / humidifier system member for regulating humidity in the air, a sensor for monitoring indoor air quality conditions and for sending control inputs to a control unit for controlling the operation of one or more of the system members based on the monitored air quality conditions and one or more user-selectable operating settings, a control unit for controlling the operation of the one or more system members based on control inputs received from one or more sources, and a housing unit having a cavity in which is mounted the air conditioner system member, the exhaust fan system member, the dehumidifier / humidifier system member and the control unit.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]Embodiments described herein generally relate to a control system, and more particularly to an air quality control system.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]At present, an air conditioner, a dehumidifier, and an exhaust fan can only be controlled in a single home by installing each device as three separate units. Since all of these units are traditionally mounted in separate windows, people living in small apartments often end up with all of their windows being rendered unusable by the presence of these appliances. Many have to deal with the expense and work involved in purchasing and installing these separate devices. Hence, it is desirable to provide a way to install all three units in a single home without having to use multiple windows.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0003]The various advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure will become apparent to one skilled in the art by reading the following specification and appended claims, and by ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a multi-functional air quality control system that can regulate air temperature, pollution, and humidity. The system includes an air conditioner system member, an exhaust system member, a dehumidifier / humidifier system member, and a sensor to monitor air quality conditions. The sensor can trigger the operation of the system members to turn on or off based on the air quality conditions. The system can be controlled remotely using a software application on a computing device or a remote control. The sensor can measure various air quality conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and pollution, and can trigger the operation of the system members to turn on or off. The system members can include an air conditioner system member, exhaust system member, and dehumidifier / humidifier system member. The system can be mounted in a ceiling, window, or partition. The technical effects of the patent are a multi-functional air quality control system that can regulate air quality in indoor environments.

Problems solved by technology

Since all of these units are traditionally mounted in separate windows, people living in small apartments often end up with all of their windows being rendered unusable by the presence of these appliances.

Many have to deal with the expense and work involved in purchasing and installing these separate devices.
