Description

Methods for disinfecting the novel coronavirus in the air and the novel coronavirus disinfection machine Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for disinfecting the novel coronavirus in the air and an all-in-one novel coronavirus disinfection machine, belonging to the technical field of virus disinfection. Background Art

[0002] The COVID-19 outbreak has been underway for over three years. While generally under control, it remains unstable, with occasional small-scale transmissions, significantly impacting people's work and daily lives. Currently, the virus is primarily spreading in crowded, enclosed spaces such as restaurants, classrooms, conference rooms, shopping malls, supermarkets, hospitals, waiting rooms, and public transportation.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN115875791A discloses a device for disinfecting and purifying the new coronavirus, which mainly includes a cylindrical shell with an air inlet and an air outlet provided on the shell. From the air inlet to the air outlet, a primary filter module, a virus disinfection module, a high-efficiency interception module, a gaseous pollution integrated filter module and a fan module are provided in sequence. The filter material of the primary filter module is fiber fabric; the virus disinfection module has a built-in U-shaped ultraviolet lamp, and its air inlet and air outlet surfaces are covered with filter mesh; the high-efficiency interception module uses a HEPA filter element above H13, and the filter material is non-woven fabric; the gaseous pollution integrated filter module uses one or a mixture of high-quality coconut shell activated carbon, wood activated carbon and fruit shell activated carbon. The device integrates honeycomb activated carbon module materials, a variety of air cleaning agents and ultraviolet sterilization technologies, and has the characteristics of good removal of aerosol-carried viruses in the air, high disinfection and purification efficiency, safe use and no secondary pollution. However, the only component of this device that truly kills viruses is ultraviolet radiation (the virus disinfection module). The remaining modules primarily serve to adsorb and intercept microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. This single virus-killing method is insufficient to completely kill the novel coronavirus carried by aerosols in the air. Furthermore, the filtration and adsorption materials used in each module require frequent replacement or maintenance over extended periods of use to ensure effective filtration and adsorption, resulting in high costs.

[0012] Preferably, the air that has been electroshocked with the new coronavirus is irradiated with deep ultraviolet light (wavelength 200-350nm) to carry out deep ultraviolet disinfection of the new coronavirus.

[0013] Preferably, weak X-ray irradiation is used on the air after deep ultraviolet disinfection to carry out weak X-ray disinfection of the new coronavirus.

[0014] The novel coronavirus disinfection machine includes a shell, an air inlet and an air outlet are provided on the shell, an air delivery pipe is provided between the air inlet and the air outlet, a Tesla coil is provided in the shell, the discharge end of the Tesla coil is located in the air delivery pipe, and a fan is provided at the air inlet or the air outlet.

The ethanol container is used to hold ethanol with a concentration of 75%.

[0018] Preferably, a one-way valve is provided on the front end pipe of the liquid container (the pipe for air delivery).

[0019] Preferably, the shell is provided with a liquid inlet for each liquid container.

[0020] Preferably, the air delivery pipe is divided into an electric shock disinfection section and a deep ultraviolet disinfection section from front to back along the air delivery direction.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0024] (1) Tesla coils can provide direct current discharges of tens of thousands of volts. The arc effect generated by high-voltage discharge can instantly destroy the fat layer on the surface of the new coronavirus, quickly disinfecting the new coronavirus. The new coronavirus is effectively and efficiently disinfected. At the same time, the high-voltage discharge of the Tesla coil can also ionize the air, produce ozone and a variety of active oxygen and hydroxyl free radicals, destroying the living biofield of the new coronavirus, depriving it of its living conditions, and further improving the disinfecting effect of the new coronavirus.

[0025] (2) Humidifying the air before using electric shock to disinfect the new coronavirus in the air can increase the content of water molecules in the air, especially making the humidity in the air basically saturated, improving the conductivity of the air (discharge conduction ability), which is beneficial to increase the arc length and coverage during the high-voltage discharge of the Tesla coil, and improve the disinfection effect and efficiency of the new coronavirus.

[0026] (3) Using hot water to humidify the air can not only achieve the effect of humidifying the air, but also further increase the relative humidity after heat dissipation in the subsequent process, which is conducive to reaching or maintaining a saturated state. At the same time, it can use high temperature to preliminarily disinfect the new coronavirus in the air. Combined with the disinfection method of alkali solution and ethanol, most of the new coronavirus in the air can be killed before the new coronavirus is electroshocked, reducing the pressure of the new coronavirus electric shock disinfection. After the new coronavirus is electroshocked, the air is supplemented with deep ultraviolet rays and / or weak X-rays to kill the remaining new coronavirus in the air, achieving comprehensive disinfection of the new coronavirus in the air, and finally obtaining fresh, clean, and non-toxic air.

[0027] (4) The present invention integrates high-temperature disinfection, alkaline solution / ethanol disinfection, electric shock disinfection, deep ultraviolet disinfection and weak X-ray disinfection of the new coronavirus. By performing multi-stage disinfection of the new coronavirus in the air, the disinfection effect of the new coronavirus in the air is guaranteed and the disinfection efficiency is improved. The disinfection of the new coronavirus only uses raw materials and resources such as water, alkaline solution / ethanol and electricity, which reduces the cost of use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] FIG1 is a schematic flow chart of an embodiment of a method for eliminating novel coronavirus in the air according to the present invention;

[0029] Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the novel coronavirus disinfection and disinfecting machine of the present invention. Implementation Method

[0030] The individual coronavirus cells lack a cell membrane; instead, they are microorganisms encased in a layer of fat. If this layer is destroyed or removed, the virus will instantly die. This invention discloses a method for eliminating the novel coronavirus in the air. A Tesla coil discharges high voltage within the air flow path (or the localized space through which it flows). The arc generated by the high-voltage discharge shocks the novel coronavirus in the air, instantly destroying the fat layer on its surface and effectively eliminating the virus. The high-voltage discharge of the Tesla coil also ionizes the air, generating ozone and various reactive oxygen species and hydroxyl radicals, which disrupt the novel coronavirus's biomass, depriving it of its survival conditions and further enhancing its effectiveness in eliminating the virus. Furthermore, the Tesla coil discharge, characterized by high voltage and low current, is highly safe and poses no risk.

[0031] The discharge voltage of the Tesla coil is preferably not less than 10WV to ensure the discharge intensity and frequency, thereby ensuring the disinfection effect of the new coronavirus in the air.

[0032] Before the air enters the flow channel, it is preferred to humidify the air by passing it into water. The water molecule content in the humidified air increases, which improves the conductivity of the air (discharge conduction ability), which is beneficial to increase the arc length and coverage during the high-voltage discharge of the Tesla coil, and improve the disinfection effect and efficiency of the new coronavirus.

[0033] The temperature of water used to humidify the air is usually not lower than 65°C, preferably not lower than 90°C. While achieving the purpose of humidifying the air, the high temperature is used to disinfect the new coronavirus in the air.

[0034] The air after the new coronavirus has been disinfected once is preferably passed into alkaline solution or 75% ethanol, and the alkaline solution or ethanol is used to destroy the fat layer on the surface of the new coronavirus to carry out a second disinfection of the new coronavirus, or the air after the new coronavirus has been disinfected once is successively passed into alkaline solution and 75% ethanol for the second and third disinfection of the new coronavirus, and the air after the second or third disinfection of the new coronavirus is sent into the air flow channel. In this way, the pressure of electric shock disinfection of the new coronavirus can be reduced, and there is basically no surviving new coronavirus in the air after the electric shock disinfection of the new coronavirus.

[0035] The alkali solution is preferably sodium carbonate solution, sodium bicarbonate solution or sodium hypochlorite solution.

[0036] To be on the safe side, the air that has been electroshocked with the new coronavirus can be irradiated with deep ultraviolet light (wavelength 200-350nm) to destroy the DNA molecules, cell structure and function of the virus (microorganism), making it lose its vitality, and kill the new coronavirus remaining in the air, ultimately obtaining fresh, clean and non-toxic air.

[0037] When the epidemic is serious, weak X-rays can be used to irradiate the air after deep ultraviolet disinfection to destroy the protein activity of the new coronavirus and kill it, further ensuring the disinfection effect of the new coronavirus in the air.

[0038] Referring to Figure 1, a preferred embodiment of the method for disinfecting the novel coronavirus in the air is as follows:

[0039] Step 1: Pass hot water through the air to disinfect the novel coronavirus and humidify the air;

[0040] Step 2: Pass the air that has been disinfected with the new coronavirus once into an alkaline solution for a secondary disinfection of the new coronavirus;

[0041] Step 3: The air that has been disinfected twice with the new coronavirus is passed through 75% ethanol for a third disinfection of the new coronavirus;

[0042] Step 4: Use a Tesla coil to discharge high voltage, and use the arc generated by the high voltage discharge to shock the new coronavirus in the air after the new coronavirus has been disinfected three times, thus performing the fourth disinfection of the new coronavirus;

[0043] Step 5: Use deep ultraviolet light to irradiate the air that has been disinfected four times for the new coronavirus, performing a fifth disinfection of the new coronavirus;

[0044] Step 6: Use weak X-rays to irradiate the air that has been disinfected five times by the new coronavirus, and then disinfect it six times by the new coronavirus, finally obtaining fresh, clean, and non-toxic air.

[0045] This implementation method integrates high-temperature disinfection, alkaline solution disinfection, ethanol disinfection, electric shock disinfection, deep ultraviolet disinfection and weak X-ray disinfection of the new coronavirus. By performing multi-level disinfection of the new coronavirus in the air, the disinfection effect of the new coronavirus in the air is guaranteed and the disinfection efficiency is improved. The disinfection of the new coronavirus only uses raw materials and resources such as water, alkaline solution / ethanol and electricity, which reduces the cost of use.

[0046] Referring to Figure 2 , the present invention also discloses an integrated COVID-19 disinfection machine utilizing the aforementioned airborne COVID-19 disinfection method. The machine comprises a housing 1, provided with an air inlet 2 and an air outlet 3. An air delivery pipe for air delivery is disposed between the air inlet and the air outlet. A Tesla coil is disposed within the housing, with the discharge end (discharge electrode) 4 of the Tesla coil located within the air delivery pipe. Based on the discharge characteristics, the discharge electrodes are strategically positioned to ensure that all (as much as practically possible) air flows through the discharge region and that the air remains in the discharge region for as long a "residence" time as possible. A fan 5 is provided at either the air inlet or the air outlet to power the air flow. The air inlet can be located on a side wall of the housing, and the air outlet can be located on the top wall of the housing.

[0047] The housing preferably contains a liquid container, each having an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to the air inlet, and the air outlet is connected to the air inlet end of the air delivery pipe. Preferably, there are multiple liquid containers, each of which is arranged in series. Specifically, the air outlet of the adjacent liquid container located in the front is connected to the air inlet of the liquid container located behind it via a pipe. Among the multiple liquid containers, the air inlet of the liquid container located farthest in the air delivery direction is connected to the air inlet, while the air outlet of the liquid container located farthest in the air delivery direction is connected to the air inlet end of the air delivery pipe. Typically, there are three liquid containers, namely, from front to back, a hot water container 6, an alkaline solution container 7, and an ethanol container 8. The hot water container contains water and is equipped with an electric heater 9, the alkaline solution container contains alkaline solution, and the ethanol container contains 75% ethanol. When the novel coronavirus disinfection machine is in use, air enters the shell through the air inlet under the action of the fan, flows through the hot water container, alkali solution container and ethanol container in sequence, and enters the air delivery pipe for electric shock disinfection after high-temperature disinfection of the novel coronavirus, alkali solution disinfection and ethanol disinfection.

[0048] A temperature sensor may be provided in the hot water container, and a signal output of the temperature sensor is connected to the control end of the electric heater, so as to facilitate controlling the heating temperature of the water in the hot water container.

[0049] A one-way valve is preferably provided on the front end pipe (pipe for air delivery) of each liquid container to prevent the liquid in the container from flowing back.

[0050] Each of the liquid containers is preferably a glass container, with an air inlet at the bottom and an air outlet at the top. When in use, each of the liquid containers is filled with an appropriate amount of liquid, usually at a height between 2 / 3 and 3 / 4 of the height of the container.

[0051] The shell is preferably provided with a liquid replenishing port for each of the liquid containers, for replenishing the liquid in each of the liquid containers.

[0052] The air delivery pipe is preferably divided into an electric shock disinfection section 10 and a deep ultraviolet disinfection section 11 from front to back along the air delivery direction. The discharge end of the Tesla coil is located in the electric shock disinfection section. The deep ultraviolet disinfection section is a glass tube, and a deep ultraviolet light source 12 is provided on one side or around it. The deep ultraviolet light source can be a deep ultraviolet LED lamp, which is used to disinfect the air after the new coronavirus is electroshocked by the new coronavirus by deep ultraviolet irradiation.

[0053] The deep ultraviolet disinfection section is preferably spiral-shaped, which extends the air delivery path and the time of deep ultraviolet irradiation, thereby improving the disinfection effect of the new coronavirus.

[0054] A weak X-ray disinfection section 13 may or may not be provided behind the deep ultraviolet disinfection section of the air duct. When a weak X-ray disinfection section is provided, the weak X-ray disinfection section is a glass tube with a weak X-ray source 14 provided on one side or around the periphery. The weak X-ray source may be a weak X-ray machine, which is used to perform weak X-ray irradiation disinfection of the new coronavirus in the air after deep ultraviolet disinfection. A weak X-ray disinfection section may also be provided behind the deep ultraviolet disinfection section of the air duct, and a mounting slot or mounting port for a weak X-ray source may be reserved near the weak X-ray disinfection section in the housing for installing a weak X-ray source when the epidemic is serious, so as to perform weak X-ray irradiation disinfection of the new coronavirus in the air after deep ultraviolet disinfection.

[0055] The novel coronavirus disinfection machine integrates multiple disinfection methods of the novel coronavirus into one, has good disinfection effect and high efficiency for the novel coronavirus in the air, and has a simple structure and occupies a small space. The novel coronavirus disinfection only uses raw materials and resources such as water, alkali solution / ethanol and electricity, and has low cost. A device with a power of 160W can meet the needs of at least 200m 2 Disinfection and purification of viruses in the air within the space.

[0056] The layout of the various reaction components in this device (e.g., reaction vessels, reaction air delivery pipe sections, etc.) can be flexibly configured based on actual needs and can be vertical or horizontal. In a horizontal configuration, the components are arranged sequentially along the horizontal axis. Alternatively, a three-dimensional layout can be adopted, for example, arranged in two (or more) layers, with the layers arranged either axially (longitudinally) or transversely (perpendicular to the longitudinal direction). In a vertical configuration, a multi-layered layout with multiple components arranged on the same layer can also be adopted. Pipelines and supporting facilities for liquid input and output within the containers should also be arranged based on actual needs.

[0057] Unless otherwise specified or one preferred or optional technical means is a further limitation of another technical means, the preferred and optional technical means disclosed in the present invention can be arbitrarily combined to form several different technical solutions.
