Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of indoor air purification, in particular to an air intake structure of an air conditioner purifier for a laboratory. Background Art

[0002] Dust particles, bacteria, viruses and other pollutants suspended in the air often attach to these particles. Laboratories usually require a higher level of air purification to ensure the cleanliness of the environment. The existing air purification unit includes a fresh air unit, a circulation unit, a filter (such as a primary, medium and high efficiency filter), a heating section, a cooling section, a humidification section and a fan section, which are used to filter, heat, cool and humidify the air;

[0003] To achieve high-level air purification, more filters are usually required, especially HEPA filters (high-efficiency air filters). HEPA filters can capture particles of 0.3 microns and above, with a removal efficiency of up to 99.97%. They are suitable for homes, offices, hospitals and other places, and can effectively remove bacteria, viruses, pollen, dust mites and other tiny particles in the air.

[0004] However, while HEPA filters provide efficient filtration, they also have some problems. First, the air circulation is not smooth, resulting in a low gas flow rate drawn into the fresh air unit. Second, since dust particles are relatively heavy, although they will remain suspended in the air, most of the heavier dust particles will sink to the panel near the bottom of the HEPA filter, making the dust on the filter surface unevenly distributed, causing the HEPA filter to become clogged prematurely. This not only reduces the filtration effect of the entire purification unit, but also increases the need for frequent replacement and cleaning of HEPA filters. In addition, these problems will also lead to an increase in the power of the fan unit and increased noise. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the specification abstract and the invention title of this application to avoid blurring the purpose of this section, the specification abstract and the invention title, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An air intake structure for an air conditioner purifier includes an air intake end, and is connected to the air conditioner purifier, and is characterized in that: a plurality of channels are provided on the air intake end, an anode shell is sleeved in the channels, a flow guide component is provided in the conical cavity of the anode shell, an insulating sleeve is provided in contact with the flow guide component, a guide rod is provided in the insulating sleeve and is electrically connected to a high-voltage power supply through an insulating block on an electric wire, the anode shell is grounded through the electric wire, the flow guide component includes a plurality of guide plates, and the guide plates divide the conical cavity into a plurality of parts so that the gas can flow in a rotation through the conical cavity.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the air intake structure of the air conditioner purifier of the present invention, the anode shell is fixedly connected to one end of the guide plate and both are conductors, and the other end of the guide plate is connected to the insulating block.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the air intake structure of the air conditioner purifier described in the present invention, the guide plates are arranged in an equidistant annular array in the conical cavity, and each of the guide plates is spiral, so that the shape of the spoiler between the connected guide plates is spiral.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the air intake structure of the air conditioner purifier described in the present invention, wherein: the outer surface of the guide plate is evenly provided with extension branches, and the extension branches extend into the spoiler channel.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the air intake structure of the air conditioner purifier of the present invention, the inlet size of the anode shell is at least twice that of its outlet, and a filter is provided at the inlet end of the anode shell.

[0013] As a preferred solution of the air intake structure of the air conditioner purifier described in the present invention, wherein: the outlet end of the anode shell is concavely provided with a flat section, the flat section has a protrusion, the protrusion is provided with a plurality of outlets corresponding to the spoiler channel, and the spoiler channel is connected with the flat section through the outlet of the protrusion.

[0014] As a preferred solution of the air intake structure of the air conditioner purifier described in the present invention, the adsorption block is provided with a depression, and the opening of the depression faces the through groove.

[0015] As a preferred solution of the air intake structure of the air conditioner purifier described in the present invention, an adsorption block is placed in the flat area and is sealed with the interior of the equipment at the air intake end through a sealing cover.

[0016] As a preferred solution of the air intake structure of the air conditioner purifier of the present invention, the cover is provided with a relief opening, a gasket is provided at the relief opening to abut against the raised surface, and the relief opening is connected to the outlet of the anode shell.

[0017] As a preferred solution of the air intake structure of the air conditioner purifier of the present invention, the cover is provided with a plurality of limiting convex strips, the outlet outer surface of the anode shell is provided with a plurality of adapting grooves, and the limiting convex strips are inserted into the adapting grooves.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the structure of the fresh air inlet of the air conditioner purifier is optimized, wherein the air inlet channel is changed to a cone shape with the pointed end facing inward, thereby increasing the fresh air entry rate, the channel is connected to the fresh air inlet structure by means of a pluggable anode shell, a guide plate and a guide rod wrapped by an insulating sleeve are arranged in the anode shell, the channel is divided into, the airflow is spirally flowed (achieved by changing the shape of the guide plate) to stir the fresh air, and the dust in the air is evenly mixed and contacts the plate surface of the filter;

[0019] Second, the anode shell is grounded through the ground wire connector, and the guide rod is connected to the high-voltage power supply through the insulating block with a wire, which is converted into an electrostatic dust absorption device. Here, the anode shell and the guide plate inside it act as the anode (that is, the dust collecting electrode) in the device to absorb dust with charge, and the guide rod acts as the discharge electrode in the device, so that the guide plate and anode shell of the device have the dust absorption function;

[0020] 3. In theory, the more guide plates there are, the greater the effect of stirring the airflow, the more evenly the air is stirred, and the dust is more evenly mixed and contacted with the filter. At the same time, the more guide plates there are, the more adsorption surface area is provided in the electrostatic adsorption device, which plays a better role in filtering dust. In addition, the anode shell can be plugged and unplugged with the existing air purification unit, which is convenient for recycling;

[0021] Fourth, since the guide plate allows the airflow to rotate, and the channel is conical, the speed is relatively high at the outlet of the channel. Therefore, the airflow and the dust therein will have a certain centrifugal force. By setting a gentle interval at the air outlet of the anode shell and connecting the channel to it through openings, placing adsorption blocks such as wet sponges, cloths, etc. in the gentle interval, larger mass dust is likely to enter the gentle interval and be retained by the adsorption blocks, thereby improving the dust filtering effect of the structure.

[0037] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 , is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an air intake structure of an air conditioner purifier, including an air intake end 100, and a portion thereof connected to the air conditioner purifier, wherein the air intake end 100 is provided with a plurality of channels 101, an anode shell 200 is sleeved in the channels 101, a flow guide assembly 300 is provided in a conical cavity 200a of the anode shell 200, an insulating sleeve 302 is provided in contact with the flow guide assembly 300, a guide rod 302a is provided in the insulating sleeve 302, and the guide rod 302a is electrically connected to a high voltage power supply through an insulating block 302b on an electric wire, the anode shell 200 is grounded through an electric wire, and the flow guide assembly 300 includes a plurality of guide plates 301, and the guide plates 301 divide the conical cavity 200a into a plurality of portions so that the gas can flow in a rotational manner through the conical cavity 200a;

[0042] For example, Figure 1 As shown, one end of the air inlet end 100 is the inside 102 of the air purification unit and the other end is the outside 103 of the equipment to represent the air inlet structure of the air purification unit of this embodiment. Figure 1 The middle air inlet end 100 has a plurality of matrix channels 101 for movably mounting the anode shell 200, the purpose of which is to form a plurality of air inlets. The movably mounting facilitates the plugging and unplugging of the anode shell 200, and the inside of the anode shell 200 is cleaned and recycled regularly;

[0043] The conical cavity 200a of the anode shell 200 has a narrower outlet 200a-2 facing the inside 102 of the device, and an inlet 200a-1 facing the outside 103 of the device. When the fresh air unit draws outside air, the air flow rate entering the inside 102 of the device can be increased, which can help the fresh air unit, the circulation unit, etc. to operate with less power and achieve noise reduction;

[0044] Conductive guide plates 301 are evenly laid in the conical cavity 200a. These guide plates 301 rotate in the conical cavity 200a, and an insulating sleeve 302 is set at the center of the conical cavity 200a and a guide rod 302a is set in the insulating sleeve 302, so as to divide the conical cavity 200a into a plurality of identical spoiler channels 300a. When the airflow enters the spoiler channel 300a, since it is not a straight flow channel, the airflow rotates at the outlet 200a-2 to achieve the effect of stirring the air, fully mix the dust impurities of different qualities in the air, and uniformly contact the filter plate surface set in the primary stage, so as to avoid excessive blockage of the filter plate surface near the bottom, so as to make the entire purification unit have the problem of unsmooth ventilation prematurely and the problem of frequent replacement of filters;

[0045] It is worth mentioning that the guide plate does not affect the smooth flow rate of the gas while stirring the air;

[0046] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the outer surface of the guide plate 301 is evenly provided with extension branches 301a, and as for the spoiler 300a, the grounding connector 204 on the anode shell 200 is grounded through a wire, and the guide rod 302a wrapped in the insulating sleeve 302 is input into the high-voltage power supply through the insulating block 302b and the wire as the discharge electrode, and the anode shell 200 and the guide plate 301 inside it are converted into an electrostatic dust suction device of the anode, and the air entering the spoiler 300a is preliminarily filtered by electrostatic adsorption. The adsorbed surface includes the inner wall of the anode shell 200, the surface of the guide plate 301 and the extension branch 301a extending into the spoiler 300a, which fully filters the fresh air;

[0047] The wires, power supply and grounding circuit here can be installed on the air inlet end 100, and the grounding connector 204 on the anode shell 200 is in contact with the wire of the air inlet end 100 when plugged in, and the insulating block 302b of the guide rod 302a is in contact with the wire of the high-voltage power supply of the air inlet end 100, and a switch can be set at the end of the power supply wire to realize controllable circuit opening and closing;

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6, which is the second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the anode shell 200 near the outlet 200a-2 of the anode shell 200 is made of insulating material, or an insulating film or insulating layer is provided near the outlet 200a-2, so that the anode shell 200 in the vicinity is insulated and separated from the anode shell 200 of the conductive part, and a flat section 201 is opened at the end of the outlet 200a-2 of the anode shell 200;

[0050] In the previous embodiment, the guide plate 301 rotates in the conical cavity 200a, and an insulating sleeve 302 is provided at the center of the conical cavity 200a, and a guide rod 302a is provided in the insulating sleeve 302, so as to divide the conical cavity 200a into a plurality of identical spoiler channels 300a. When the airflow enters the spoiler channel 300a, since it is not a linear flow channel, the airflow rotates at the outlet 200a-2 to achieve air stirring. This process forms a centrifugal force on the air in the spoiler channel 300a. As is well known, when it comes to the influence of mass on the centrifugal effect, according to Newton's second law \(F=ma\), we know that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. For a given angular velocity and radius, the centripetal acceleration is fixed. Therefore, the larger the mass of an object, under the same circular motion conditions (i.e., the same radius and angular velocity), a greater centripetal force is required to maintain its circular motion. In other words, the larger the mass, the stronger the "centrifugal tendency" or the ability to resist changing its linear motion state exhibited by the object.

[0051] Therefore, in simple terms, under the action of centrifugal force, the larger the mass of the object, the greater the inertia it will show. Then, the dust particles with larger mass in the air will be thrown toward the inner wall of the anode shell 200, especially at the outlet 200a-2 end of the conical cavity 200a of the anode shell 200, where the air flow rate is the largest, and the dust particles are thrown into the through groove 202a at the outlet 200a-2 end and stored in the flat zone 201, thus achieving the effect of primary air filtration.

[0052] In order to better capture dust in the flat section 201, the number of through grooves 202a and the number of adjacent spoiler channels 300a correspond one to one, and the width of the through grooves 202a is greater than the spoiler channel 300a at the outlet end, so that the dust has enough space to enter the flat section 201;

[0053] Furthermore, a relatively moist adsorption block 400 is placed in the flat section 201 (the anode shell 200 at the outlet end of this section is insulated and separated from the anode shell 200 of other parts to prevent the failure of the anode shell 200 at the static electricity generating part). The adsorption block 400 can be made of sponge, cotton material or other materials. By providing a recess 400a in the adsorption block 400 to align with the through groove 202a, a larger dust capture surface is achieved to improve the dust adsorption capacity.

[0054] In order to facilitate the fixing of the adsorption block 400 in the gentle interval 201 and the replacement of the adsorption block 400, an adapting groove 203 is provided on the outer surface of the outlet 200a-2 end of the anode shell 200, and then a cover 500 is provided. The friction between the limiting convex strip 502 on the cover 500 and the adapting groove 203 makes the cover 500 detachable and installable on the anode shell 200. The cover 500 is provided with an avoidance opening 500a and the size is at least the same as the outlet 200a-2 of the anode shell 200 to ensure that the gas smoothly enters the interior 102 of the device. Then, a gasket 501 is provided at the avoidance opening 500a of the cover 500 to contact the surface of the protrusion 202 of the gentle interval 201, so that the adsorption block 400 in the gentle interval 201 is not loosened;

[0055] Combined with the working principles of embodiments one and two; air is sucked into the anode shell 200 through the fresh air unit. At this time, the inner wall of the anode shell 200 and the surface of the guide plate 301 are charged to adsorb the air dust in the spoiler 300a. During the continuous acceleration of the spoiler 300a, some of the escaped dust particles enter the adsorption block 400 in the flat section 201 through the through groove 202a for adsorption. Then the airflow rotates after flowing through each spoiler 300a to stir the air, so that the air entering the interior 102 of the device is fully mixed and contacts the filter plate surface to enter the next link.

[0056] Importantly, it should be noted that the construction and arrangement of the present application shown in a plurality of different exemplary embodiments are only exemplary. Although only a few embodiments are described in detail in this disclosure, it should be readily understood by those who refer to this disclosure that many modifications are possible (e.g., the size, scale, structure, shape and proportion of various elements, and parameter values ​​(e.g., temperature, pressure, etc.), installation arrangement, use of materials, color, directional changes, etc.) without substantially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the subject matter described in the application.
