[0047] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] The terminology used in the embodiments of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “Multiple” generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.

[0049] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0050] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product or system. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system that includes said element.

[0051] Existing ventilation equipment mainly uses filters to filter particulate matter in the air; however, on the one hand, filters reduce airflow while filtering air, resulting in a decrease in airflow; on the other hand, the filtration capacity of filters is fixed, and it is impossible to flexibly select a suitable filter according to air quality, resulting in poor filtration effect and high filter consumption.

[0052] This invention creatively provides a filter assembly for a ventilation device. The ventilation device has an air duct, and the filter assembly includes a drive mechanism and multiple filter units, which are sequentially arranged within the air duct along the drive axis of the drive mechanism. Each filter unit includes a fixed arm, a rotating arm, and a filter screen. Both the fixed arm and the rotating arm extend radially along the drive axis of the drive mechanism. The fixed arm is fixed in a certain radial direction of the drive axis and cannot rotate, while the rotating arm can rotate relative to the fixed arm around the drive axis. A roller is rotatably provided on one of the fixed arm and the rotating arm. One end of the filter screen is connected to the roller, and the other end of the filter screen is connected to the arm without a roller. The rotation of the rotating arm relative to the fixed arm can cause the filter screen to unfold within the air duct or to be collected on the roller.

[0053] The rotating arm has an extended position and a collection position in its rotation direction. When the rotating arm is in the extended position, the filter screen is extended into the air duct; when the rotating arm is in the collection position, the filter screen is collected on the roller. When the air quality is poor, the filter screen is extended into the air duct, so that the filter screen can filter the air flowing through it and improve the air quality. When the air quality is good, the filter screen is collected on the roller, reducing the attenuation effect of the filter screen on the air flow and reducing the loss of air flow.

[0054] In multiple filter units, each filter screen has different air handling functions or the same air handling function but different handling levels, and the rotating arm of each filter unit can be controlled to rotate independently; when the air quality is poor, the filter screen with the handling function adapted to the air quality is opened to filter, sterilize and deodorize the air, or the air is treated step by step with the same handling function to improve the handling accuracy and effect, while reducing filter screen consumption and extending the service life of the filter screen; the filter components have a wide range of applications and can meet different air handling needs to obtain air of different qualities.

[0055] <Filtering Components>

[0056] like Figures 1a to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a filter assembly for a ventilation device, the ventilation device having an air duct 41; preferably, the ventilation device is a fresh air module or a fresh air air conditioner; the filter assembly includes a drive mechanism and multiple filter units, each filter unit including:

[0057] A fixed arm and a rotating arm are provided, both extending radially along the drive axis of the drive mechanism. The fixed arm is fixed in a certain radial direction of the drive axis and cannot rotate, while the rotating arm can rotate relative to the fixed arm about the drive axis. A reel is rotatably provided in one of the fixed arm and the rotating arm. Specifically, the rotating arm forms a cavity, and the reel is rotatably disposed within the cavity. The extension direction of the reel is consistent with the extension direction of the rotating arm. A coil spring is provided between the reel and the side wall of the cavity, and the coil spring can drive the reel to rotate when it releases energy. A through hole is formed on the side of the rotating arm facing the fixed arm, and the through hole communicates with the cavity. The reel and the arm without the reel have equal arm lengths. Preferably, the fixed arm and the rotating arm have equal arm lengths.

[0058] The filter screen has one end connected to a roller and the other end connected to an arm without a roller. The filter screen is unfolded and collected by the rotation of the rotating arm relative to the fixed arm. The rotating arm has an unfolded position and a collected position in its rotation direction. When the rotating arm is in the unfolded position, the filter screen is unfolded in the air duct 41. When the rotating arm is in the collected position, the filter screen is collected on the roller. Specifically, one end of the filter screen passes through the through hole and is rolled on the roller, and the other end of the filter screen is connected to the fixed arm. When the rotating arm rotates relative to the fixed arm and moves away from the fixed arm, one end of the filter screen gradually unfolds, the coil spring stores energy, and the filter screen unfolds in the air duct 41. At this time, the filter screen can filter the air flowing through the air duct 41. When the rotating arm rotates relative to the fixed arm and moves closer to the fixed arm, the coil spring releases energy, and one end of the filter screen gradually rolls on the roller. The filter screen is collected on the roller, and the air flows through the air duct 41 without passing through the filter screen. Preferably, the filter screen of each filter unit is a collectable arc-shaped structure.

[0059] Multiple filter units are arranged sequentially along the drive axis within the air duct 41; among the multiple filter units, each filter screen has different air handling functions or has the same air handling function but different handling levels; specifically, each filter screen has filtration capacity and each filter screen has a different filtration level.

[0060] Furthermore, the rotating arm of each filter unit can be controlled to rotate independently; thus, according to the air quality, a corresponding number of rotating arms can be rotated, and a corresponding number of filters can be deployed to filter the air; for example, when the air quality is poor, one rotating arm can be rotated, and one filter can be deployed to perform preliminary filtration of the air; when the air quality is relatively poor, multiple rotating arms can be rotated, and multiple filters with different filtration levels can be deployed to perform step-by-step filtration of the air, reducing filter consumption and extending filter life.

[0061] Preferably, along the drive axis direction, the air handling capacity of multiple filters in the multiple filter units gradually increases along one of the directions of the drive axis.

[0062] To address the issue of complex structures in the drive mechanisms required for rotating the arms of multiple filter units, this embodiment proposes a drive mechanism comprising a motor 6 and multiple main shafts. These main shafts are nested together around a drive axis, and each can be driven individually by the motor 6. Specifically, the motor 6 contains multiple independently rotating gears, each gear corresponding to one of the main shafts. When a gear rotates, the corresponding main shaft can rotate.

[0063] Multiple spindles are set up one-to-one with multiple filter units; the spindles are fixedly connected to the rotating arms of the corresponding filter units.

[0064] To address the issue of complex structures required for the rotating arm to rotate relative to the fixed arm, this embodiment proposes that in each filter unit, the fixed arm includes a fixed core seat, a fixed radial wall A, and a fixed radial wall B. The fixed core seat is coaxially arranged with the drive axis, and the fixed radial walls A and B are spaced apart circumferentially along the fixed core seat and located in the same diametrical direction of the fixed core seat.

[0065] The rotating arm includes a rotating core seat, a rotating radial wall a, and a rotating radial wall b. The rotating core seat is coaxially arranged with the drive axis and rotatably mounted on the fixed core seat. The rotating radial walls a and b are spaced apart along the circumference of the rotating core seat and are located in the same diametrical direction of the rotating core seat. The rotating radial wall a is corresponding to the fixed radial wall A, and the rotating radial wall b is corresponding to the fixed radial wall B.

[0066] When the rotating center seat rotates relative to the fixed center seat, the rotating radial wall a rotates relative to the fixed radial wall A, and the rotating radial wall b rotates relative to the fixed radial wall B.

[0067] Furthermore, the scroll includes scroll a and scroll b; the rotating radial wall a forms a cavity a, and the scroll a is rotatably disposed within the cavity a, with the extension direction of the scroll a being the same as the extension direction of the rotating radial wall a; a coil spring a is disposed between the scroll a and the side wall of the cavity a; the rotating radial wall b forms a cavity b, and the scroll b is rotatably disposed within the cavity b, with the extension direction of the scroll b being the same as the extension direction of the rotating radial wall b; a coil spring b is disposed between the scroll b and the side wall of the cavity b.

[0068] The filter screen includes filter screen Aa 51 and filter screen Bb 52. Filter screen Aa 51 is disposed between the fixed radial wall A and the rotating radial wall a. Specifically, one end of filter screen Aa 51 is connected to the roller a, and the other end of filter screen Aa 51 is connected to the fixed radial wall A. When the rotating radial wall a rotates relative to the fixed radial wall A and moves away from the fixed radial wall A, filter screen Aa 51 unfolds, and the coil spring a stores energy. When the rotating radial wall a rotates relative to the fixed radial wall A and moves closer to the fixed radial wall A, the coil spring a releases energy, and filter screen Aa 51 is collected on the roller a.

[0069] A filter screen Bb 52 is disposed between a fixed radial wall B and a rotating radial wall b. Specifically, one end of the filter screen Bb 52 is connected to a scroll b, and the other end of the filter screen Bb 52 is connected to the fixed radial wall B. When the rotating radial wall b rotates relative to the fixed radial wall B and moves away from the fixed radial wall B, the filter screen Bb 52 unfolds, and the spring b stores energy. When the rotating radial wall b rotates relative to the fixed radial wall B and moves closer to the fixed radial wall B, the spring b releases energy, and the filter screen Bb 52 is collected on the scroll b.

[0070] When both filter screen Aa 51 and filter screen Bb 52 are deployed, filter screen Aa 51 and filter screen Bb 52 can cover the cross-section of air duct 41, thereby filter the air flowing through air duct 41.

[0071] Preferably, both filter screen Aa 51 and filter screen Bb 52 have a fan-shaped structure.

[0072] To address the issue of complex structures required for driving the rotating arm, this embodiment proposes that a fixed core seat forms a fixed shaft hole; a rotating core seat forms a rotating shaft hole, and a rotating arm connecting part is formed on the inner sidewall of the rotating shaft hole;

[0073] The outer side wall of the main shaft has a main shaft connecting part; the main shaft passes through the fixed shaft hole and the rotating shaft hole and the main shaft is clearance-fitted with the fixed shaft hole, and the rotating arm connecting part is fitted with the main shaft connecting part to drive the main shaft to the rotating core seat; when the motor 6 runs, the main shaft drives the corresponding rotating core seat to rotate, and then the rotating arm rotates relative to the fixed arm.

[0074] Furthermore, each filter unit includes a fixed arm and a rotating arm; the multiple filter units include a first fixed arm 11, a first rotating arm 12, a second fixed arm 21, a second rotating arm 22, a third fixed arm 31, and a third rotating arm 32 arranged sequentially along the drive axis direction (when the multiple filter units are installed on the air duct, the drive axis direction is the extension direction of the air duct 41); the first rotating arm 12 can rotate relative to the first fixed arm 11, the second rotating arm 22 can rotate relative to the second fixed arm 21, and the third rotating arm 32 can rotate relative to the third fixed arm 31;

[0075] like Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown, the drive mechanism includes a first spindle 61, a second spindle 62, and a third spindle 63 that can be controlled to rotate independently; the motor 6 is equipped with a first gear, a second gear, and a third gear. The first gear is driven to the first spindle 61, the second gear is driven to the second spindle 62, and the third gear is driven to the third spindle 63.

[0076] Both the first main shaft 61 and the second main shaft 62 are hollow structures; along the radial direction of the first main shaft 61 from the outside to the inside, the first main shaft 61, the second main shaft 62 and the third main shaft 63 are nested in sequence and coaxially arranged; the first main shaft 61 is fixedly connected to the first rotating arm 12, the second main shaft 62 is fixedly connected to the second rotating arm 22, and the third main shaft 63 is fixedly connected to the third rotating arm 32.

[0077] Specifically, ① the first fixed arm 11 includes a first fixed core seat 113, a first fixed radial wall A 111 and a first fixed radial wall B 112. The first fixed core seat 113 is coaxially arranged with the drive shaft. The first fixed radial wall A 111 and the first fixed radial wall B 112 are spaced apart along the circumference of the first fixed core seat 113 and are located in the same diametrical direction of the first fixed core seat 113.

[0078] The first rotating arm 12 includes a first rotating center seat 123, a first rotating radial wall a 121, and a first rotating radial wall b 122. The first rotating center seat 123 is coaxially arranged with the drive axis and rotatably mounted on a first fixed center seat 113. The first rotating radial walls a 121 and b 122 are spaced apart circumferentially along the first rotating center seat 123 and located in the same diametrical direction of the first rotating center seat 123. The first rotating radial wall a 121 is correspondingly arranged with the first fixed radial wall A 111, and the first rotating radial wall b 122 is correspondingly arranged with the first fixed radial wall B 112.

[0080] The filter screen includes a first filter screen, which comprises filter screen Aa1 and filter screen Bb1. Filter screen Aa1 is disposed between a first fixed radial wall A 111 and a first rotating radial wall a 121. The first rotating radial wall a 121 rotates relative to the first fixed radial wall A 111, allowing filter screen Aa1 to unfold within the air duct 41 or be collected on a corresponding scroll. Filter screen Bb1 is disposed between a first fixed radial wall B 112 and a first rotating radial wall b 122. The first rotating radial wall b 122 rotates relative to the first fixed radial wall B 112, allowing filter screen Bb2 to unfold within the air duct 41 or be collected on a corresponding scroll.

[0081] ②The second fixed arm 21 includes a second fixed core seat 213, a second fixed radial wall A 211 and a second fixed radial wall B 212. The second fixed core seat 213 is coaxially arranged with the drive shaft. The second fixed radial wall A 211 and the second fixed radial wall B 212 are spaced apart along the circumference of the second fixed core seat 213 and are located in the same diametrical direction of the second fixed core seat 213.

[0082] The second rotating arm 22 includes a second rotating center seat 223, a second rotating radial wall a 221, and a second rotating radial wall b 222. The second rotating center seat 223 is coaxially arranged with the drive axis and rotatably mounted on the second fixed center seat 213. The second rotating radial wall a 221 and the second rotating radial wall b 222 are spaced apart circumferentially from the second rotating center seat 223 and located in the same diametrical direction of the second rotating center seat 223. The second rotating radial wall a 221 is correspondingly arranged with the second fixed radial wall A 211, and the second rotating radial wall b 222 is correspondingly arranged with the second fixed radial wall B 212.

[0083] When the second rotating center seat 223 rotates relative to the second fixed center seat 213, the second rotating radial wall a 221 rotates relative to the second fixed radial wall A 211, and the second rotating radial wall b 222 rotates relative to the second fixed radial wall B 212.

[0084] The filter screen includes a second filter screen, which comprises filter screen Aa2 and filter screen Bb2. Filter screen Aa2 is disposed between the second fixed radial wall A 211 and the second rotating radial wall a 221. The second rotating radial wall a 221 rotates relative to the second fixed radial wall A 211, allowing filter screen Aa2 to unfold within the air duct 41 or be collected on a corresponding scroll. Filter screen Bb2 is disposed between the second fixed radial wall B 212 and the second rotating radial wall b 222. The second rotating radial wall b 222 rotates relative to the second fixed radial wall B 222, allowing filter screen Bb2 to unfold within the air duct 41 or be collected on a corresponding scroll.

[0108] When the filtration device is applied to the fresh air module, different air handling functions can be achieved through one or more filters to meet different air handling needs, obtain different fresh air qualities, and improve the health benefits of the fresh air. Based on the quality of the fresh air, the system selects whether to use a filter and which type of filter to use, intelligently replacing filters to ensure that the air handling function and treatment level of the filters are adapted to the fresh air quality, improving air handling precision, reducing filter consumption, and increasing filter utilization. The filtration device is linked to the fresh air conditioning system for control, optimizing the control method of the fresh air conditioning system. When any filter reaches its lifespan limit, only that filter needs to be replaced without affecting the use of other filters, reducing the frequency of filter replacements, saving costs, improving user experience, and enhancing the image of the fresh air conditioning system.
