Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0019] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0020] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention, providing a building energy-saving fresh air handling device.

[0021] Combination Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a building energy-saving fresh air handling device, comprising: PV modules are used to convert solar energy into electrical energy to power the system or the cooling system. The PT module is used to absorb solar energy and convert it into heat energy to heat fresh air. The PF module includes a light collection board and an ultraviolet sterilization chamber. The light collection board is set on the top surface of the ultraviolet sterilization chamber to improve light capture efficiency and guide the filtered light into the sterilization chamber. The ultraviolet sterilization chamber concentrates ultraviolet light to perform efficient sterilization treatment on fresh air. The self-cleaning filter has a photocatalytic coating on its surface, which uses ultraviolet light to decompose organic pollutants and dust. The energy storage system, equipped with an inverter and energy storage units, converts and stores excess electrical energy from the PV modules. The intelligent control system, including a sensor network, an automatic adjustment system, and a user interface, is used to monitor air quality, humidity, and UV intensity, and adjust the system's operating status in real time. The fresh air system includes an air circulation system, an air exchange module, and a dehumidification system, which form a complete air flow path to ensure that the airflow passes through the ultraviolet sterilization chamber, the self-cleaning filter, and the dehumidification system in sequence to achieve the best air treatment effect. The dehumidification system includes a moisture-absorbing wheel and a regeneration device, which absorbs moisture in the air through moisture-absorbing materials and discharges it outside the system to control the air humidity.

[0022] In this embodiment, the PV module includes a high-efficiency photovoltaic panel, which distributes electrical energy to the fresh air system and the cooling system through a power management system.

[0023] In this embodiment, the PT module includes a high-efficiency solar thermal plate, which dynamically adjusts the heat output through a thermal energy management system to regulate the fresh air heating effect according to changes in indoor and outdoor temperatures.

[0024] In this embodiment, the light collection plate in the PF module adopts a bucket-shaped structure and is arranged on the top surface of the ultraviolet sterilization chamber to improve light capture efficiency. The ultraviolet sterilization chamber is equipped with UV-LED lamps and several airflow guide plates. The surface of the airflow guide plates is coated with a photocatalytic coating for airflow sterilization in an ultraviolet environment.

[0025] Specifically, the light-collecting panel features a funnel-shaped structure that focuses and guides more light into the ultraviolet sterilization chamber. This funnel shape increases the angle of incidence, concentrating more light within the chamber and improving light capture efficiency. The panel's surface undergoes a special treatment, providing high reflectivity and anti-fouling properties to ensure maximum light utilization.

[0026] UV sterilization chamber setup: The UV sterilization chamber is equipped with UV-LED lamps, which emit ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength to kill bacteria and viruses in the air.

[0027] UV-LED lamps are evenly distributed inside the sterilization chamber to ensure that the air inside the entire chamber is irradiated by ultraviolet light, thereby achieving comprehensive sterilization.

[0028] Airflow guide vane configuration: Several airflow guide vanes are installed inside the UV sterilization chamber to guide and distribute airflow. The design of the airflow guide vanes reduces the airflow rate and increases the residence time of air in the sterilization chamber, thereby improving the sterilization effect.

[0029] The surface of the airflow guide plate is uniformly coated with a photocatalytic coating, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2). Under ultraviolet irradiation, the photocatalytic coating can generate strong oxidizing free radicals (such as hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion radicals), which can effectively decompose and kill harmful microorganisms and pollutants in the air.

[0030] System Operation: When the system is running, air enters the ultraviolet sterilization chamber through the PF module. The light-concentrating plate focuses the light, and the UV-LED lamps emit ultraviolet light, which irradiates the airflow guide plate and the photocatalytic coating, exciting the photocatalytic coating to generate free radicals. As the air flows through the ultraviolet sterilization chamber, bacteria and viruses are decomposed and killed by the free radicals, ensuring that the outgoing air is clean.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bottom surfaces of the PV module, PT module and PF module are all equipped with a light tracking system to adjust their light tracking angle and improve light energy utilization.

[0032] Specifically, the light sensor first detects the incident angle and intensity of sunlight and transmits the data to the control system. The control system calculates the optimal tracking angle using an algorithm and sends a control signal to the tracking mechanism. Upon receiving the signal, the tracking mechanism activates an electric motor to adjust the module's angle, ensuring it is always aligned with the sun to maximize light energy absorption.

[0033] In this embodiment, the self-cleaning filter is used for filtering and cleaning airflow. It is equipped with a UV-LED lamp and each filter layer is uniformly coated with a photocatalytic material. It uses ultraviolet light for self-cleaning and is designed with a simple maintenance and replacement mechanism.

[0034] Specifically, the self-cleaning filter includes a multi-layer filtration structure, with each layer of filter media uniformly coated with a photocatalytic material, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2). An internal UV-LED lamp is installed, emitting ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength to activate the photocatalytic material.

[0035] When air passes through the filter, pollutants, bacteria, and viruses are captured by the filter layer. UV-LED lamps continuously irradiate the photocatalytic material on the filter layer surface, exciting it to generate highly oxidizing free radicals (such as hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion radicals). These free radicals effectively decompose and kill the captured pollutants and microorganisms, achieving a self-cleaning effect and maintaining the filter's high-efficiency filtration performance.

[0036] The filter is designed for easy maintenance and replacement. It is housed in an easily removable frame, allowing users to easily remove it for inspection and replacement. The UV-LED lamp has a long lifespan and low energy consumption, eliminating the need for frequent replacements and significantly reducing maintenance costs.

[0037] In this embodiment, the moisture-absorbing wheel is made of a high-efficiency moisture-absorbing material, such as silica gel or zeolite. The moisture-absorbing wheel is heated and regenerated by the heating function of the regeneration device, so that the absorbed moisture is discharged out of the system and its moisture-absorbing capacity is restored.

[0038] Specifically, the moisture-absorbing rotor undergoes periodic heating and regeneration via a regeneration device to restore its moisture-absorbing capacity. The regeneration device includes an electric heater or a hot airflow system. When the moisture-absorbing rotor reaches its moisture saturation state, the regeneration device is activated to heat the rotor, causing the adsorbed moisture to be released from the material and expelled from the system through an exhaust system. The heating temperature and regeneration time are set according to the characteristics of the moisture-absorbing material to ensure complete regeneration without damaging its structure.

[0039] The entire moisture-absorbing rotor system is managed by a controller that automatically starts and stops the regeneration process based on data from the humidity sensor. During regeneration, the system can temporarily switch to a standby moisture-absorbing rotor to ensure continuous humidity control.

[0040] In this embodiment, the sensor network in the intelligent control system includes air quality, humidity, and ultraviolet sensors. The control algorithm automatically adjusts the operating status of the ultraviolet sterilization module, the desiccant wheel, and the fan based on the sensor data. The user interface displays air quality, humidity, system operating status, and historical data.

[0041] Specifically, air quality sensors are used to monitor the concentration of pollutants in the air, such as PM2.5, PM10, and formaldehyde; humidity sensors are used to measure the humidity level of the air; and ultraviolet sensors are used to detect the intensity of ultraviolet radiation.

[0042] The control algorithm automatically adjusts the operating status of the ultraviolet sterilization module, the moisture-absorbing impeller, and the fan by acquiring sensor data in real time. When the air quality sensor detects an increase in the concentration of pollutants in the air, the control algorithm increases the workload of the ultraviolet sterilization module to improve the sterilization efficiency. When the humidity sensor detects high air humidity, the control algorithm activates or enhances the operation of the moisture-absorbing impeller to reduce the air humidity. When the ultraviolet sensor detects low ultraviolet intensity, the control algorithm adjusts the operating status of the ultraviolet sterilization module to ensure the sterilization effect.

[0043] The user interface displays air quality, humidity, system operating status, and historical data via a screen or mobile application. Users can intuitively view the current air quality index, humidity level, and the operating status of the UV sterilization module, desiccant impeller, and fan. Simultaneously, the historical data function allows users to view past air quality and humidity trends and system operating records, facilitating analysis and decision-making.

[0044] Working principle and usage process of this invention: This building's energy-saving fresh air handling unit works primarily by fully utilizing photovoltaic, solar thermal, and ultraviolet light, combined with advanced air purification technology and an intelligent control system, to achieve efficient indoor air purification, energy conservation and emission reduction, and intelligent management. The specific principles are as follows: Photovoltaic energy conversion: The device integrates high-efficiency photovoltaic panels on the top, which can directly convert solar energy into electrical energy, providing green power for the operation of the entire system.

[0045] The electricity generated by the photovoltaic panels is prioritized for use by various components of the fresh air system, and the remaining electricity can be stored in the built-in battery for unforeseen needs.

[0046] Solar thermal energy recovery: Solar thermal panels absorb solar energy and convert it into heat energy, which is used for preheating or heating fresh air, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0047] The heat recovery device further recovers the heat and cold from the exhaust air, reducing energy loss and realizing the recycling of energy.

[0048] Air purification and sterilization: Fresh air enters the device through a self-cleaning filter, removing large particles, dust, and other pollutants.

[0049] The ultraviolet sterilization chamber uses ultraviolet light emitted by high-intensity UV-LED lamps to effectively kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the fresh air.

[0050] The photocatalytic coating on the surface of the self-cleaning filter decomposes organic pollutants and dust adhering to the filter screen under ultraviolet light, thus achieving a self-cleaning function.

[0051] Intelligent control and management: The device has a built-in intelligent control system that monitors parameters such as air quality, humidity, temperature, and ultraviolet intensity in real time through a sensor network.

[0052] Based on monitoring data, the intelligent control system automatically adjusts the operating status of components such as the ultraviolet sterilization module, moisture-absorbing wheel, and fan to achieve refined management.

[0053] The system supports multiple operating modes (such as automatic mode, manual mode, etc.), and users can choose according to their actual needs.
