Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of disinfection robot technology, and in particular to a working method for a gaseous chlorine dioxide air disinfection robot. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, air pollution in my country has become increasingly serious. With the improvement of people's living standards, indoor air quality has also received more attention. Indoor air quality refers to the air quality inside buildings, which affects the health and comfort of people living in them. Indoor air quality is affected by gases (especially carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, and volatile organic compounds), PM2.5, microorganisms, and other substances that can affect health.
[0003] Traditional disinfection methods generally employ: 1. Passive disinfection, such as photocatalysis, plasma, high-voltage electrostatics, and ultraviolet circulating air. Passive disinfection can only disinfect the air that is drawn in, generally requires pre-filtration, is prone to secondary pollution, and the circulating air cannot effectively draw in air from a distance indoors, resulting in low actual efficiency. It cannot quickly handle the presence of viruses, and the circulating air may even increase the distance of aerosol transmission. 2. Active disinfection, such as ozone, one of the world's "five major" harmful gases, which cannot be widely promoted; disinfectants, which are used in the form of mist, spraying, and fumigation, are difficult to operate and have poor effects on aerosols; and ultraviolet lamps, which have poor effects on aerosols, poor penetration, and intensity attenuation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing air disinfection equipment in terms of poor performance, and to propose a working method for a gaseous chlorine dioxide air disinfection robot.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The fan and air pump operate for the set time.
[0010] S4. After the robot has worked for the set time, the controller controls the fan to run at low speed or turn it off, turns off the air pump, and uses the first water pump to draw all the liquid in the reaction tank into the main water tank, and the robot enters the standby state.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention.
[0036] In the diagram: 1. Main water tank; 2. Reaction tank; 3. Fan; 4. Chemical dosing mechanism; 5. Microswitch; 6. Protrusion; 7. Air pump; 8. First water pump; 9. Second water pump. Detailed Implementation
[0037] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 A method for operating a gaseous chlorine dioxide air disinfection robot includes the following steps:
[0039] S1, the robot is powered on and in standby mode. Preferably, in standby mode, fan 3 is running at a low speed of 500-1000 rpm without stopping. The continuous operation of the fan keeps the inside of the machine at a low humidity level, which can prevent the internal components from being corroded by moisture and prevent the chlorine dioxide solid agent from reacting with water vapor, thus ensuring the dryness of the solid agent.
[0040] S2, the robot receives control commands and enters working mode;
[0041] S3, the controller controls the fan 3 to operate at a set power, and the second water pump 9 draws a set volume of liquid from the main water tank 1 into the reaction tank 2. In one implementation, the main water tank has a volume of 1500ml-2000ml, and 200ml of liquid is drawn into the reaction tank each time. The second water pump 9 uses a constant power method to draw water. The amount of water drawn is calculated by calculating the working time of the second water pump 9. This method can reduce the use of flow sensors or water level sensors. The reagent dosing mechanism 4 adds a set dose of chlorine dioxide solid reagent to the reaction tank 2, and the air pump 7 releases gas into the liquid in the reaction tank 2. The fan 3 and the air pump 7 operate for the set time.
[0042] S4. After the robot has worked for the set time, the controller controls the fan 3 to run at low speed or turn it off, turns off the air pump 7, and uses the first water pump 8 to draw all the liquid in the reaction tank 2 into the main water tank 1, and the robot enters the standby state.
[0043] Chlorine dioxide solid agent is added to water to form chlorine dioxide aqueous solution. The chlorine dioxide is free in the liquid. The chlorine dioxide factor is released into the air by air pump 7 and fan 3. The chlorine dioxide factor actively kills germs in the air. The chlorine dioxide factor in the air undergoes Brownian motion, realizing all-round active disinfection of the space and thorough disinfection of the environment, improving disinfection efficiency. After use in the reaction tank, the liquid can be pumped back to the main water tank for reuse, avoiding frequent water replenishment and water change.
[0044] As one implementation method, the working mode includes a human-machine coexistence mode, in which the robot receives control commands and enters the human-machine coexistence mode:
[0045] The time set in S3 is 30-120 minutes; the amount of solid chlorine dioxide added in S3 is 1g-3g; when air pump 7 is working in S3, the power of the air pump is inversely proportional to the set time; and / or the air pump operates with intermittent start-stop. Definitions: The maximum power of the air pump is p1; the maximum power of the fan is p2; the power of the fan in S3 is 80%*p2 or 90%*p2; for example, when the time set in S3 is 30 minutes, the air pump power is 80%*p1; when the time set in S3 is 60 minutes, the air pump power is 70%*p1; when the time set in S3 is 90 minutes, the air pump power is 65%*p1; when the time set in S3 is 120 minutes, the air pump power is 60%*p1.
[0046] The air pump uses this working mode to better ensure that the free chlorine dioxide factor in the liquid is released into the air evenly per unit time, ensuring that the release dose is stable and consistent over a long period of time.
[0047] Furthermore, when the time setting in S3 is 30-60 minutes, the fan's power is 80%*p2. When the time setting in S3 is 90-120 minutes, the air pump pauses for 2 minutes every 8 minutes of operation, and the fan's power during the pause is 90%*p2. This fan setting compensates for noise during air pump pauses, preventing sudden changes in machine noise. The human-machine coexistence mode involves low-dose, long-term disinfection, releasing low concentrations of chlorine dioxide to form diffused gas in the air, blocking aerosol transmission between people for preventative disinfection.
[0048] As another implementation method, the working mode also includes a powerful mode. The robot receives a control command and enters the powerful mode: The time set in S3 is 10-30 minutes; the amount of chlorine dioxide solid agent added in S3 is 2g-4g; when air pump 7 is working in S3, the power of the air pump is inversely proportional to the set time. Definitions: The maximum power of the air pump is p1; the maximum power of the fan is p2; the power of the fan in S3 is 90% * p2; when the time set in S3 is 10 minutes, the air pump power is p1; when the time set in S3 is 15 minutes, the air pump power is 95% * p1; when the time set in S3 is 20 minutes, the air pump power is 90% * p1; when the time set in S3 is 25 minutes, the air pump power is 85% * p1; when the time set in S3 is 30 minutes, the air pump power is 80% * p1.
[0049] This process ensures that the free chlorine dioxide in the liquid is released evenly into the air within a unit of time, guaranteeing a stable and consistent release dose over a short period. The release of a high concentration of chlorine dioxide forms a diffuse gas in the air, thoroughly disinfecting the air and also partially disinfecting surfaces, thus serving as terminal disinfection.
[0050] To facilitate dosage, the chlorine dioxide solid agent is in tablet form, with each tablet weighing 1g. The dosage standard is shown in Table 1.
[0051] refer to Figure 1 The drug dispensing mechanism 4 includes a cylindrical shell dispensing mechanism for storing chlorine dioxide solid tablets and a motor for driving the cylindrical shell dispensing mechanism to rotate at a fixed angle. The cylindrical shell dispensing mechanism can dispense one tablet every 90 degrees of rotation. The cylindrical shell dispensing mechanism has four protrusions 6 on its outer circumference. A micro switch 5 is installed on the outside of the cylindrical shell dispensing mechanism. Each time a protrusion passes the micro switch, the micro switch sends a counting message to the controller.
[0052] The motor drives the cylindrical housing dispensing mechanism to dispense one tablet of medicine every 90 degrees, which can achieve fixed dosage. Every 90-degree rotation, the protrusion will touch a micro switch once, which can perform a secondary verification of the medicine dispensing to prevent the program error from causing excessive or insufficient dispensing of medicine.
[0053] The controller is connected to a control display screen, and / or a voice control broadcast module, and / or an app control module, and / or a timer start module. The control display screen shows the robot's working status, the amount of medicine dispensed, and the set working time. The robot can be controlled by voice or an app.
[0054] This robot device has four color indicator lights: red light: prompting status, white light: standby status, blue light: powerful mode, and green light: human-robot coexistence mode.
[0055] Table 1 shows the relationship between the amount of medicine applied and the size of the space.
