[0040] The air purification device provided in this application can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of air purification in public transportation vehicles.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an air purification device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0043] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, the air purification device includes a track 1, a driver 2, and an air purifier 3.

[0044] The track is installed within the target area for air purification;

[0045] The air purifier is mounted on the track via the driver;

[0046] The actuator is used to move the air purifier on the track.

[0047] Optionally, the target area may include, but is not limited to, the interior of vehicles such as subways, trains, high-speed trains, and buses.

[0048] In some embodiments, the track is installed above the interior of the carriage.

[0049] Optionally, the drive may include, but is not limited to, drive wheels, drive chains, and conveyor belts.

[0050] In some embodiments, the air purifier 3 is provided with an air outlet 4, an air inlet 5, an electric purification component, and a high-efficiency filter.

[0051] Specifically, the electro-purification component includes a generating electrode and a collecting electrode. The generating electrode is used to charge pollutant particles and bacteria in the air. The charged particles are adsorbed and locked when they pass through the collecting electrode, thereby removing particulate pollutants from the air and killing bacteria and viruses.

[0052] Specifically, high-efficiency filters are used to further remove fine particles from the air.

[0053] In some embodiments, the air purification device may further include: an air quality detector and / or a people count detector.

[0054] In some embodiments, the air quality detector includes at least one pollutant sensor;

[0055] In some embodiments, the people count detector includes at least one of a camera or an infrared detector.

[0056] Optionally, the air quality detector may include, but is not limited to, various pollutant sensors, such as dust sensors. Dust sensors are used to measure the concentration of dust in the air.

[0057] In some embodiments, the air quality detector and / or the number of people detector are mounted on the air purifier.

[0058] In some embodiments, the air quality detector and / or the number of people detector are installed at a predetermined location in the target area.

[0059] In a specific example, air quality detectors can be fixedly installed in various sub-areas of the carriage to obtain real-time air quality information within the carriage.

[0060] In yet another specific example, an air quality detector can be installed on an air purifier to obtain more targeted information about air quality.

[0061] In another specific example, the air quality detector can be positioned on a track and moved independently of the air purifier to avoid the air purifier itself affecting the air quality data.

[0062] Optionally, the personnel count detector may include, but is not limited to, cameras and infrared detectors. Based on the data acquired by the cameras or infrared detectors, the number of people in each area of ​​the carriage can be calculated.

[0063] In a specific example, the camera can be the existing surveillance camera on the vehicle, without the need for additional hardware.

[0064] In one specific example, a camera was mounted on an air purifier to obtain more targeted information about the number of people.

[0065] In a specific example, air purification devices are installed in public transportation vehicles such as rail trains or buses.

[0066] The air purification device provided in this embodiment of the invention can effectively purify the air in public transportation vehicles. Furthermore, by setting up a portable air purifier, it can avoid problems such as limited air purification area, weak targeting, or blind spots.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the implementation flow of an air purification control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0069] See Figure 2 The air purification control method provided in this embodiment of the invention may include steps 101 to 103.

[0070] Step 101: Obtain the number of people and / or air quality data for each sub-area of ​​the target area.

[0071] In some embodiments, the number of people and / or air quality data corresponding to each sub-area are obtained based on the air quality detector and / or the number of people detector in the air purification device.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the air purifier, air quality detector, and people count detector are integrated into a single design, the air purifier is controlled to move along a track to acquire people count data and air quality data for each sub-area.

[0073] Optionally, when the people number detector is a camera, the number of people in each sub-area is obtained based on the image data collected by the camera using a pre-stored image processing algorithm.

[0074] Step 102: Determine the air purification priority for each sub-area based on the personnel quantity data and the air quality data.

[0075] In some embodiments, step 102 includes:

[0076] The sub-region with the worst air quality is designated as the highest priority sub-region.

[0077] If the number of sub-regions with the worst air quality is greater than one, then the sub-region with the largest number of people among the sub-regions with the worst air quality will be the highest priority sub-region.

[0078] Step 103: Move the air purifier along the track according to the air purification priority to purify the air in each sub-area.

[0079] In some embodiments, the sub-region with the worst air quality is identified, and this sub-region with the worst air quality is selected as the priority sub-region for processing. The process of identifying the sub-region with the worst air quality and purifying the air is repeated continuously.

[0080] In some embodiments, the sub-region with the largest number of people is selected, and the sub-region with the largest number of people is selected as the priority sub-region for processing. The process of selecting the sub-region with the largest number of people for air purification is repeated continuously.

[0081] In some embodiments, a weighted sum of air quality and number of people in each sub-region is calculated, and the sub-region with the highest score is selected as the preferred sub-region for processing. The process of obtaining the sub-region with the highest score for air purification is repeated continuously.

[0082] In a specific example, the air quality of each sub-region is represented by the pollutant concentration index as follows: Sub-region 1: 60, Sub-region 2: 78, Sub-region 3: 69; the number of people in each sub-region is 9, Sub-region 2: 12, Sub-region 3: 18; the weight of air quality is 0.2, and the weight of number of people is 0.8; then the scores of each sub-region are 19.2 for Sub-region 1, 25.2 for Sub-region 2, and 28.2 for Sub-region 3. In this case, air purification treatment is prioritized for Sub-region 3.

[0083] Figure 3 A schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of the air purification control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0084] See Figure 3 In a specific example, the target area is carriage 6, which is divided into four sub-areas, each containing a portion of track 7. The position of the air purifier is adjusted based on the air quality of each sub-area, causing the air purifier to move along track 7 to achieve effective air purification.

[0085] The air purification control method provided in this invention can enhance the accuracy, reliability and targeting of air purification, improve the air quality inside the vehicle, remove odors and reduce the spread of germs, thereby improving the passenger riding experience and protecting passenger health.

[0086] Example 3

[0087] Figure 4 This diagram illustrates another implementation flow of the air purification control method provided in this embodiment of the invention.

[0088] See Figure 4 In a specific example, the air purifier is first moved to various areas to detect and record the air quality and passenger number information in each area.

[0089] Specifically, based on the length of the carriage and the size of the target area, the carriage can be divided into multiple zones, and the dwell time T of the air purifier can be manually set. In this proposal, it is assumed that the carriage is divided into four zones: Zone I, Zone II, Zone III, and Zone IV. That is, n = [I, II, III, IV]. The air quality values ​​of each zone are represented by AQI I, AQI II, AQI III, and AQI IV, and the number of passengers in each zone is represented by P I, P II, P III, and P IV.

[0090] For each sub-region, calculate its air quality separately and compare the air quality of each sub-region.

[0091] If there is a sub-zone with the highest air quality value, i.e. the worst air quality, the purifier will be moved to the corresponding sub-zone and run in that sub-zone for a preset time.

[0092] The above process is repeated cyclically to purify the air in each sub-area of ​​the carriage.

[0093] If there are more than one equal maximum air quality, then the number of people in the sub-area with the highest air quality value is further compared. If there is a maximum number of people, the purifier is controlled to move to the corresponding sub-area and run in that sub-area for a preset time.

[0094] If there are more than one equal maximum number of people in the sub-area with the highest air quality value, the air purifier will be moved to the area corresponding to each maximum number of people value to perform air purification operation.

[0095] The air purifier travels sequentially along a track to zones I, II, III, and IV, detecting and recording the Air Quality Index (AQI) and the number of passengers (P). It compares the AQI values ​​of each zone: a) If a maximum value is found, it proceeds to that zone, stays there for a preset time, and then restarts the detection and purification process; b) If the AQI values ​​of all zones are equal, it compares the number of passengers. If the number of passengers is also the same in all zones, the air purifier performs a round-trip purification cycle, starting a new round of detection and purification after a certain period. If a zone has the most passengers, it prioritizes purifying that zone, and then starts a new round of detection and purification after a certain period. The air purifier purifies the air simultaneously during its movement and detection process, achieving faster and more efficient purification.

[0096] The air purification control method provided in this embodiment of the invention first divides the carriage into areas, determines the air quality and number of passengers in each sub-area, and then automatically adjusts the position of the air purifier to prioritize the purification of resources with dense crowds and poor air quality, thereby improving the targeting and reliability of air purification; furthermore, when the number of people and the air quality in the carriage are relatively uniform, the purifier is controlled to move back and forth to effectively purify the air in the entire area.

[0097] Example 4

[0101] Priority calculation module 202 is used to determine the air purification priority of each sub-area based on the personnel quantity data and / or the air quality data;

[0102] The mobile purification module 203 is used to move the air purifier on the track according to the air purification priority in order to purify the air in each sub-area.

[0103] In some embodiments, the data acquisition module 201 is specifically used for:

[0104] Control the air purifier to move on the track and acquire data on the number of people and / or air quality in each sub-area of ​​the target area.

[0105] In some embodiments, the priority calculation module 202 is specifically used for:

[0106] The sub-region with the worst air quality is designated as the highest priority sub-region.

[0107] If the number of sub-regions with the worst air quality is greater than one, then the sub-region with the largest number of people among the sub-regions with the worst air quality will be the highest priority sub-region.

[0108] In summary, the air purification control device provided in this embodiment of the invention, by setting up a movable air purifier, can avoid problems such as limited area, weak targeting, or blind spots in air purification within vehicles.
