Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of indoor furniture, specifically to an environmentally friendly piece of furniture that can purify indoor air. Background Technology

[0002] Furniture is a decorative and practical appliance used indoors, belonging to the field of soft furnishings. Traditionally, environmentally friendly furniture refers to the quality of the raw materials used, whether they are natural materials. Furniture made from materials that have not undergone deep processing is more beneficial to the health of users than composite materials. Composite materials, whether it is wood panels or glue and paint layers, contain high levels of formaldehyde, which can affect human health.

[0003] Traditional furniture, besides being made of pressed composite wood panels, cannot actively purify indoor air, and its main body is not easy to recycle, process, or reuse. When the furniture is no longer used and is disposed of, it will cause environmental pollution. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an environmentally friendly furniture that can purify indoor air, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art. Traditional furniture, in addition to being made of pressed composite wood panels, cannot actively purify indoor air, and its main body is not easy to recycle, process, or reuse. When the furniture is no longer used and is disposed of, it will cause environmental pollution.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is: an environmentally friendly furniture capable of purifying indoor air, comprising a furniture body:

[0006] The furniture body has a hinged door at the top inside, and the disassembly structure includes a support base plate located at the top inside the furniture body.

[0007] The filter structure includes a filter box at the top of the supporting base plate, and the bottom of the filter box is in contact with the main body of the furniture.

[0008] The kinetic energy structure is provided at one end of the top of the supporting base plate, and the kinetic energy structure includes a first ventilation plate, which is fixedly connected to the supporting base plate.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the main body of the furniture is provided with a hinged door, the other end of the top of the supporting base plate is provided with a ventilation mesh plate, and the top and bottom of both sides of the main body of the furniture are connected with fixed side supports.

[0010] Furthermore, the supporting base plate is connected to connecting slides on both sides, and the side of the connecting slide away from the supporting base plate is provided with an embedding groove. The embedding groove is fixedly connected to the furniture body. The top and bottom of the embedding groove are provided with elastic elements, and the elastic elements are elastic inside. The end of the elastic element near the connecting slide is connected to an anti-slip pressure plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a force-applying handle is connected to the bottom of one end of the filter box. The filter box has a hollow interior and an open top. The top of both ends of the filter box are provided with evenly distributed perforated holes. An elastic abutment is provided at the top of the filter box. A petri dish is provided inside the filter box, and a fixing buckle is connected to the bottom of the petri dish. An embedding groove is provided at the bottom of the filter box, and the embedding groove and the fixing buckle are engaged. A split mesh bag is provided inside the petri dish, and the split mesh bag is perforated.

[0012] Furthermore, a first motor is connected to the side of the first ventilation plate away from the filter structure, and a support rod is connected to the output end of the first motor. A second ventilation plate is provided at the end of the support rod away from the first motor. Both the second ventilation plate and the first ventilation plate are hollow.

[0013] Furthermore, the support rod has a connecting roller inside, and the connecting roller is spherical. The two sides of the connecting roller are connected to elastic metal rings, and the elastic metal rings are elastic. The top and bottom of the connecting roller are connected to movable fan blades.

[0014] This invention provides an environmentally friendly furniture that can purify indoor air, which has the following improvements and advantages compared with the prior art:

[0015] Firstly, the environmentally friendly furniture designed in this invention, besides being made of pollution-free and non-toxic materials and possessing high artistic value and aesthetic appeal, can also actively purify indoor air by driving airflow through a kinetic energy structure. This kinetic energy structure is located at the top of the unit, slightly above the average human height, ensuring that the purified air is precisely the air exhaled by humans, thus improving purification efficiency. Furthermore, the forward and reverse rotation of the first motor drives airflow out and in, and finally, the filter box adsorbs formaldehyde, purifying the air. This device can be used not only after renovation but also in normal daily life. It accelerates indoor airflow, preventing stagnant, polluted air from accumulating. The device is activated only when the first motor is started, and its built-in multi-layered baffles prevent indoor temperature loss due to rapid airflow when not in use. Activating the first motor causes the support rod to rotate in the opposite direction, causing indoor air to flow in the opposite direction to the outside, achieving air circulation and thus purifying the indoor air. Additionally, the activated carbon and other filter materials inside the filter box can filter formaldehyde and secondhand smoke, further achieving the purification purpose.

[0016] Secondly, the main body of this device is detachable. The bottom furniture body is assembled from natural solid wood boards, making it easy to recycle, process, and reuse. When the furniture is no longer used and is disposed of, the wood board material is biodegradable and will not pollute the environment. The detachable structure facilitates the disassembly of the filter structure. By inserting the support base plate into the top of the furniture body, a space can be created at the top of the furniture body to allow air convection. The filter structure can be disassembled separately. Aquatic plants such as algae are cultivated in the petri dish inside the filter box. Aquatic plants are cleaner than terrestrial plants, and the water itself has a purifying effect. The flowing airflow carries the purified air into the room, achieving a purification effect. Traditionally, plants are also placed indoors to purify the air, including hydroponics and soil cultivation. However, these plants require frequent maintenance, such as pruning, regular watering, wiping dust off the leaves, and changing the culture medium. Algae, on the other hand, has low maintenance costs, but its ability to absorb harmful gases and carbon dioxide is stronger than that of leafy plants. The fixing clips at the bottom of the culture dish are connected to the embedded tank. When the algae is placed for a long time, it needs to be cleaned and replaced every two to three months. The split mesh bag has a hollow shape that can hold the algae out, making it easy to separate the algae from the water. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following will be combined with the appendix Figures 1 to 6 This invention will be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0026] This invention provides an improved version of environmentally friendly furniture capable of purifying indoor air, such as... Figure 1-6 The figure shows an environmentally friendly piece of furniture that can purify indoor air, including the main body of the furniture 1:

[0027] One end of the main body of the furniture is equipped with a hinged door 2. Finally, the main body of this device is detachable, and the purification structure can be disassembled separately. The bottom main body of the furniture 1 is assembled from natural solid wood boards, which is easy to recycle, process, and reuse. When the furniture is no longer used and is disposed of, the wood board material is biodegradable and will not cause pollution to the environment. The other end of the top of the supporting base plate 601 is equipped with a ventilation mesh plate 4, which can create a space at the top of the main body of the furniture 1 to allow air to circulate at the top of the main body of the furniture 1. The top and bottom of both sides of the main body of the furniture 1 are connected with fixed side supports 3. The main body of the furniture 1 is placed inside the pre-drilled recessed groove, and the compression force of the fixed side supports 3 is used to reinforce the connection of the embedded position, thus playing the role of invisible furniture. The top of the recessed groove is equipped with a ventilated window to facilitate air circulation.

[0028] The disassembly and assembly structure 6 has a hinge door 2 at the top inside the furniture body 1 and includes a support base plate 601. The disassembly and assembly structure 6 facilitates the disassembly of the purification components, and the support base plate 601 is located at the top inside the furniture body 1. The support base plate 601 is inserted into the top inside the furniture body 1.

[0029] Connecting slides 602 are connected to both sides of the supporting base plate 601, and an embedding groove 603 is provided on the side of the connecting slide 602 away from the supporting base plate 601. The connecting slides 602 on both sides of the supporting base plate 601 slide in the embedding groove 603. The embedding groove 603 is fixedly connected to the furniture body 1. Elastic elements 604 are provided at the top and bottom of the embedding groove 603. The elasticity of the elastic element 604 pushes the anti-slip pressure plate 605 to press towards the connecting slide 602 to achieve the reinforcement effect. The elastic element 604 has internal elasticity. The end of the elastic element 604 near the connecting slide 602 is connected to the anti-slip pressure plate 605.

[0030] The filter structure 7 is provided at the top of the supporting base plate 601, and the filter structure 7 includes a filter box 701, the bottom end of the filter box 701 is in contact with the furniture body 1.

[0031] One end of the filter box 701 is connected to a force-applying handle 703. The filter box 701 has a hollow interior and an open top, and both ends of the filter box 701 have evenly distributed perforations. A spring-loaded abutment 702 is located at the top of the filter box 701. Inside the filter box 701 is a culture dish 704, through which aquatic plants such as algae are cultivated. Aquatic plants are cleaner than terrestrial plants, and the water itself has a purifying effect. Airflow within the channel carries the purified air into the room, achieving a purification effect. Traditionally, there are methods of purifying the air by placing plants indoors, including hydroponics and soil cultivation. However, these types of plants… It requires frequent maintenance, such as pruning branches and leaves, watering regularly, wiping dust off the green leaves, and changing the culture medium. In contrast, algae has low maintenance costs, but its ability to absorb harmful gases and carbon dioxide is stronger than that of green leafy plants. The bottom of the culture dish 704 is connected to a fixing buckle 707, and the bottom of the filter box 701 has an embedding groove 706, which is engaged with the fixing buckle 707. When the algae is left for a long time, it needs to be cleaned and replaced every two to three months. The inside of the culture dish 704 has a split mesh bag 705, which is hollow and can scoop out the algae, making it easy to separate the algae from the water.

[0032] The kinetic structure 5 is provided at one end of the top of the supporting base plate 601. In addition to being made of non-polluting and non-toxic materials and possessing high artistic connotation and aesthetic function, the environmentally friendly furniture designed in this invention can also drive air flow through the kinetic structure 5 to actively purify the indoor air. The kinetic structure 5 is located at the top of the box body, slightly higher than the height of a normal human, so the air it purifies is exactly the air exhaled by humans, which can improve the purification efficiency. The kinetic structure 5 includes a first ventilation plate 501, which is fixedly connected to the supporting base plate 601, so that air can flow at the top of the supporting base plate 601.

[0033] A first motor 503 is connected to the side of the first ventilation plate 501 away from the filter structure 7. The first motor 503 can drive airflow out and in by rotating in both directions. Activating the first motor 503 drives the support rod 504 to rotate in the opposite direction, which can drive the indoor air to flow in the opposite direction to the outside, thereby achieving the function of circulating air and purifying the indoor air. This device can be used not only after decoration, but also in normal life. It can accelerate the indoor air flow rate and prevent the indoor air from becoming turbid and unable to flow out. Because the device is activated only when the first motor 503 is activated, and it has multiple built-in baffles, it will not cause indoor temperature loss due to the fast air flow rate when not in use. The output end of the first motor 503 is connected to the support rod 504. Activating the first motor 503 with an external power supply drives the support rod 504 to rotate. The end of the support rod 504 away from the first motor 503 is equipped with a second ventilation plate 502. One side of the second ventilation plate 502 is an open window. Both the second ventilation plate 502 and the first ventilation plate 501 are hollow.

[0034] The support rod 504 has a connecting roller 506 inside, and the connecting roller 506 is spherical. The two sides of the connecting roller 506 are connected to elastic metal rings 505, and the elastic metal rings 505 are elastic. The elastic metal rings 505 drive the connecting roller 506 to move in the hollow cavity inside the support rod 504, so that the movable fan blade 507 can rotate within the range of the first ventilation plate 501 to the second ventilation plate 502, so that the wind trajectory is not direct and the through wind will cause discomfort to humans. The top and bottom of the connecting roller 506 are connected to the movable fan blade 507, and the support rod 504 drives the movable fan blade 507 to rotate.

[0035] Working principle: First, the first motor 503 is started by an external power source, driving the support rod 504 to rotate. The support rod 504 drives the movable fan blade 507 to rotate. One side of the second ventilation plate 502 is an open window, allowing air to flow from the top of the support base plate 601. The elastic metal ring 505 drives the connecting roller 506 to move within the hollow cavity inside the support rod 504, allowing the movable fan blade 507 to rotate within the range between the first ventilation plate 501 and the second ventilation plate 502. This ensures that the airflow is not direct-flow, as through-drafts can cause discomfort. Starting the first motor 503 drives the support rod 504 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the indoor air to flow in the opposite direction to the outside, achieving air circulation and thus purifying the indoor air. Additionally, the air is cultured in the petri dish 704 inside the filter box 701. Growing aquatic plants such as algae is beneficial because they are cleaner than terrestrial plants, and the water itself has a purifying effect. The airflow within the channel carries the purified air into the room, achieving a purification effect. Traditionally, there are also ways to purify the air by placing plants indoors, including hydroponics and soil cultivation. However, these plants require frequent maintenance, such as pruning, regular watering, wiping dust off the leaves, and changing the culture medium. Algae, on the other hand, has a low maintenance cost, but its ability to absorb harmful gases and carbon dioxide is stronger than that of leafy plants. The fixing clip 707 at the bottom of the culture dish 704 engages with the embedded tank 706. When the algae is placed for a long time, it needs to be cleaned and replaced every two to three months. The split net bag 705 has a hollow shape that can hold the algae, making it easy to separate the algae from the water.

[0036] Then, the purification components are easily disassembled by the disassembly and assembly structure 6. By inserting the support base plate 601 into the top of the furniture body 1, a space can be created at the top of the furniture body 1 to allow air convection at the top of the furniture body 1. The furniture body 1 is placed inside the pre-drilled recessed groove, and the compression force of the fixed side support 3 is used to reinforce the connection of the embedded position, thus playing the role of invisible furniture. The top of the recessed groove is equipped with a ventilated window to facilitate air circulation. The connecting slides 602 on both sides of the support base plate 601 slide in the embedded groove 603. The elasticity of the elastic element 604 pushes the anti-slip pressure plate 605 to press towards the connecting slides 602, thus achieving the reinforcement effect.

[0037] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
