[0002] With the increasing health threats posed by indoor and outdoor air pollution, the demand for air quality monitoring and improvement is growing stronger. Most existing exhaust fans only have basic exhaust functions and cannot intelligently detect the source and concentration of air pollution, nor can they automatically adjust the fan speed or operating mode in response to changes in air pollution, making it difficult to effectively control indoor air quality. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide an intelligent networked exhaust fan. The device incorporates a built-in gas detection module to detect air pollution in real time. Furthermore, the gas detection module has cloud connectivity, facilitating remote monitoring and operation by users. It transmits air pollution detection data to a networked cloud computing service device via IoT communication (wireless or wired). This cloud computing service device intelligently selects a control command based on the collected and analyzed real-time air pollution detection data, transmitting it to the gas detection module to modulate the fan's start-up and dynamically adjust its operating frequency and output airflow for purification efficiency. This not only automatically detects air quality and adjusts airflow, but also instantly removes air pollution to near-zero levels and discharges it outdoors, achieving air purification and pollution control effects, reducing unnecessary energy consumption, automating and optimizing operation, and maintaining optimal temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality in modern home environments.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an intelligent networked exhaust fan, comprising: a main body having an air intake and an exhaust duct, with an airflow path between the air intake and the exhaust duct; at least one exhaust fan installed inside the main body within the airflow path to guide exhaust; a main drive controller controlling the start-up of the exhaust fan and dynamically adjusting its operating frequency and output airflow; and at least one gas detection module electrically connected to the main drive controller, which detects air pollution and outputs the detection data, transmitting it via Internet of Things (IoT) communication (wireless or wired) to a networked cloud computing service device. The networked cloud computing service device collects, analyzes, and monitors the detection data in real time, and intelligently selects and transmits control commands to the gas detection module based on the detection data, thereby controlling the main drive controller to regulate the start-up and shutdown of the exhaust fan and dynamically adjust its operating frequency and output airflow, achieving real-time monitoring.

[0086] A: Airflow path Detailed Implementation
[0087] Embodiments embodying the features of the present invention will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that the present invention can be varied in different forms without departing from the scope of the invention, and the descriptions and drawings herein are for illustrative purposes only and not for limiting the invention.
[0088] Please see Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, the present invention provides an intelligent networked exhaust fan, including a main body 1, at least one guide fan 2, a main drive controller 3, and at least one gas detection module 4. It is worth noting that this embodiment shows one set of guide fans 2 and one set of gas detection modules 4, but the actual number of guide fans 2 and gas detection modules 4 is not limited thereto.
[0089] The aforementioned main body 1 is provided with an air intake 11 and an exhaust duct 12, with an airflow path A between the air intake 11 and the exhaust duct 12; at least one fan 2 is installed inside the main body 1 in the airflow path A to guide exhaust; a main drive controller 3 controls the start and stop of the fan 2, and dynamically adjusts its operating frequency and output airflow; and a gas detection module 4 is electrically connected to the main drive controller 3 for control. The gas detection module 4 detects humidity, temperature, and air pollution in the air and outputs detection data, which is transmitted to a networked cloud computing service device 5 via IoT communication. The networked cloud computing service device 5 instantly controls the main drive controller 3 to control the start and stop of the fan 2, and dynamically adjusts its operating frequency and output airflow. Therefore, as Figure 1B As shown, this invention provides an intelligent networked exhaust fan installed in an indoor area. When the fan 2 is started, air pollution in the indoor area can be drawn in through the air intake 11 and guided by the fan 2 in the airflow path A. The humidity, temperature, and air pollution in the air are detected by the gas detection module 4, which outputs detection data. The air is then discharged to the outdoor area through the exhaust pipe 12. At the same time, the gas detection module 4 detects the data and transmits it to the networked cloud computing service device 5 via IoT communication. The networked cloud computing service device 5 collects, analyzes, and monitors the detection data in real time, intelligently selects and generates control commands, and transmits the control commands to the gas detection module 4 for reception. The host drive controller 3 controls the opening and closing of the fan 2 and dynamically adjusts the operating frequency and output air volume of the fan 2. It not only automatically detects air quality and adjusts the air volume, but also removes air pollution in real time, achieving near-zero treatment and discharge to the outdoor area, thus achieving air purification and air pollution control effects, reducing unnecessary energy consumption, realizing automated and optimized operation, and maintaining the best temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality in modern home environments.
[0090] like Figure 3As shown, the gas detection module 4 includes a control circuit board 41 and a gas detection body 42. The gas detection body 42 detects humidity, temperature, and air pollution and outputs detection data. The control circuit board 41 collects, processes, analyzes, and outputs the detection data to form a serial communication (IIC) signal input. The networked cloud computing service device 5 receives and analyzes the detection data in real time, outputting a universal asynchronous transceiver (UART) signal and a universal input / output (GPI / O) signal to the host drive controller 3. The control circuit board 41 is embedded in the body 1 and electrically connected to the host drive controller 3. The control circuit board 41 is connected to external components or devices via at least one connection interface 412. In this embodiment, the control circuit board 41 has multiple connection interfaces 412, which are respectively connected to the gas detection body 42, the host drive controller 3, and a wired communication port 43.However, this is not the only limitation. In specific implementations, the control circuit board 41 can select a connection interface 412 to connect to the gas detection body 42, the host drive controller 3, and a wired communication port 43 respectively. The control circuit board 41 includes a power converter 411, which provides a DC voltage divider and modulates the output of a required DC voltage, and provides the required DC voltage to the gas detection body 42 and the host drive controller 3 through the connection interface 412 for startup. The control circuit board 41 also includes a microcontroller (MCU) 413, which connects to the gas detection body 42 through the connection interface 412 to form a serial communication (IIC) signal input for processing and analyzing the detection data, and connects to the connection interface 412 to output a universal asynchronous transceiver (UART) signal and a universal input / output (GPIO) signal. The I / O signals are provided to the host drive controller 3 for regulation; and the control circuit board 41 includes a wireless communicator 414, which receives detection data and wirelessly transmits it to the networked cloud computing service device 5. The networked cloud computing service device 5 collects, analyzes, and monitors the detection data in real time to intelligently select control commands, which are received by the wireless communicator 414 and transmitted to the microcontroller (MCU) 413 to output a general asynchronous transceiver (UART) signal and a general input / output (GPIO) signal. The I / O signal is provided to the host drive controller 3 for regulation, thereby controlling the host drive controller 3 to start the operation of the duct fan 2 and dynamically adjust the operating frequency and output air volume. Furthermore, the intelligent networked exhaust fan includes a wired communication port 43, which is electrically connected to the control circuit board 41 via a connection interface 412 for external wired communication transmission. Received detection data is transmitted via wired communication to the networked cloud computing service device 5 to collect and analyze real-time monitoring data and intelligently select control commands. These commands are received via the wired communication port 43 and transmitted to the microcontroller (MCU) 413, which outputs a Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter (UART) signal and a Universal Input / Output (GPI / O) signal to the host drive controller 3 for regulation, thereby controlling the host drive controller 3 to start the operation of the duct fan 2 and dynamically adjust the operating frequency and output air volume. It is worth noting that the wired communication port 43 is an RS485 port, communicating with the networked cloud computing service device 5 via a wired connection.
[0091] For example Figure 11As shown, the networked cloud computing service device 5 includes a wireless network cloud computing service module 51, a cloud control service unit 52, a device management unit 53, an application unit 54, and an AI intelligent control platform 55. The wireless network cloud computing service module 51 receives the detection data from the gas detection module 4 of the intelligent networked exhaust fan and transmits control commands. The wireless network cloud computing service module 51 transmits the received detection data to the cloud control service unit 52 for storage, forming an air pollution big data database. It performs intelligent calculations and compares the data with the database, and sends control commands to the wireless network cloud computing service module 51, which then transmits the commands to the gas detection module 4 of the intelligent networked exhaust fan for control startup. The device management unit 53 receives communication information from the gas detection module 4 of the intelligent networked exhaust fan through the wireless network cloud computing service module 51 for user login management and device binding management. It also provides maintenance and management of the intelligent networked exhaust fan, automated anomaly detection, analysis, processing and improvement, control and inspection measurements to ensure compliance with cleanliness requirements, customer feedback, and hardware and software technology improvement correction mechanisms. These management information are provided to the application unit 54 for system control management. The application unit 54 also displays and notifies users of the air quality detection data obtained from the cloud control service unit 52. Users can check the real-time status of air pollution removal via mobile phones or communication devices, and control the operation of the indoor air purification network intelligent system through the application unit 54 of their mobile phones or communication devices; the AI intelligent control platform 55 collects and analyzes the air quality detection data obtained from real-time monitoring and intelligently selects control commands to be received by the gas detection module 4 of the intelligent network exhaust fan, so as to control the main drive controller 3 to start the operation of the guide fan 2 and dynamically adjust the operating frequency and output air volume of the guide fan 2; that is, intelligently selects and judges the control commands issued to the main drive The controller 3 starts the operation of the air guide fan 2 and dynamically adjusts the operating frequency and output air volume of the air guide fan 2. That is, as the gas detection data is higher than the safety detection value, the air volume of the air guide fan 2 is adjusted to be larger, and the air guide fan 2 is automatically activated in the enhanced purification mode. Conversely, the closer the gas detection data is to the safety detection value, the smaller the air volume of the air guide fan 2 is adjusted. Based on the collected and analyzed real-time monitoring detection data, the operating frequency of the air guide fan 2 is dynamically adjusted, automatically switching to a low-energy consumption mode and reducing air volume and noise. Even when the indoor air quality reaches near zero, the operation is stopped to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
[0092] As described above, the intelligent networked exhaust fan of this invention has a built-in gas detection module 4 with cloud connectivity. Implemented in an intelligent indoor air purification network mechanism system, it can upload all air pollution detection data to the networked cloud computing service device 5. In this way, the intelligent networked exhaust fan can monitor and adjust the operating frequency and output air volume of the guide fan 2 in real time through the networked cloud intelligent control of the gas detection module 4. It can not only automatically detect air quality and adjust air volume, but also remove air pollution in real time to near zero and discharge it to the outdoor area, so as to achieve air purification and air pollution control effects, reduce unnecessary energy consumption, realize the automation and optimization of operation, and regulate and maintain the best temperature, humidity and indoor air quality in modern home environments.
[0093] After understanding the overall structure and architecture of the intelligent networked exhaust fan of the present invention, the detailed structure of the gas detection main body 42 of the gas detection module 4 will be described in detail below.
[0094] Please see again Figure 4A , Figure 4B , Figure 5 , Figures 6A to 6C , Figure 7 As shown, the gas detection body 42 includes a base 421, a piezoelectric actuator 422, a drive circuit board 423, a laser assembly 424, a particle sensor 425, an outer cover 426, and a gas sensor 427.
[0095] The aforementioned base 421 has a laser setting area 4211, an air inlet groove 4212, an air guide component support area 4213, and an air outlet groove 4214. The air inlet groove 4212 has an air inlet port 4215 and a light-transmitting window 4216 penetrating through its two side walls, communicating with the laser setting area 4211. The air guide component support area 4213 is connected to the air inlet groove 4212 and has a vent hole 4217 penetrating its bottom surface. The air outlet groove 4214 is connected to the vent hole 4217 and has an air outlet 4218. The aforementioned outer cover 426 covers the base 421 and has a side plate 4261. The side plate 4261 is provided with an air inlet 4262 and an air outlet 4263. The air inlet 4262 corresponds to the air inlet 4215 of the base 421, and the air outlet 4263 corresponds to the air outlet 4218 of the base 421.
[0096] The aforementioned laser component 424, particle sensor 425, and gas sensor 427 are all integrally electrically connected and mounted on the drive circuit board 423. When the drive circuit board 423 is covered, it is located within the base 421. To clearly illustrate the positions of the laser component 424 and particle sensor 425 relative to the base 421, the drive circuit board 423 is deliberately omitted. The laser component 424 is housed within the laser setting area 4211 of the base 421, and the particle sensor 425 is housed within the air intake groove 4212 of the base 421 and aligned with the laser component 424. Furthermore, the laser component 424 corresponds to the light-transmitting window 4216, through which the laser emitted by the laser component 424 passes, illuminating the air intake groove 4212. The beam path emitted by the laser component 424 passes through the light-transmitting window 4216 and forms an orthogonal direction with the air intake groove 4212. The laser component 424 emits a beam that enters the air intake groove 4212 through the light-transmitting window 4216. The beam illuminates the gas within the groove, illuminating the gas containing the detected data. When the beam contacts suspended particles in the gas, it scatters, generating projected light spots. The particle sensor 425 is positioned orthogonally to these projected light spots and receives them for calculations to obtain the gas detection data. It is noteworthy that the laser component 424 emits a parallel light source that passes through the light-transmitting window 4216.
[0097] The aforementioned gas sensor 427 is positioned and housed in the gas outlet groove 4214 for detecting gas contamination introduced into the gas outlet groove 4214. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the particulate sensor 425 outputs detection data to detect suspended particulates, and the gas sensor 427 is a volatile organic compound sensor that detects carbon dioxide or total volatile organic compounds and outputs detection data; or a formaldehyde sensor that detects formaldehyde gas and outputs detection data; or a bacteria sensor that detects bacteria or fungi and outputs detection data; or a virus sensor that detects virus gas and outputs detection data; or a temperature and humidity sensor that detects the temperature and humidity of the gas and outputs detection data.
[0098] Please see Figure 7As shown, the piezoelectric actuator 422 is housed in the air guide assembly bearing area 4213 of the base 421. The air guide assembly bearing area 4213 communicates with the air inlet groove 4212. When the drive circuit board 423 is sealed inside the base 421 and the outer cover 426 covers the outside of the base 421, the air inlet frame 4262 corresponds to the air inlet port 4215 of the base 421, defining an air inlet path, and the air outlet frame 4263 corresponds to the air outlet port 4218 of the base 421, jointly defining an air outlet path. At this time, the piezoelectric actuator 422 actuates. At the same time, the gas in the intake groove 4212 is drawn into the piezoelectric actuator 422, and the gas is supplied through the vent 4217 of the air guide assembly bearing area 4213 and into the outlet groove 4214. Finally, when the gas enters the outlet groove 4214, because the piezoelectric actuator 422 continuously supplies gas from the intake path into the outlet groove 4214, the gas in the outlet groove 4214 will be pushed to the outlet path and discharged to the outside through the outlet port 4218 and the outlet frame port 4263, realizing high-speed and large-volume gas transmission.
[0099] Having understood the above description of the gas detection body 42 structure, the following is a detailed explanation of the piezoelectric actuator 422.
[0100] Please see Figure 8A ,and Figure 8B The piezoelectric actuator 422 includes an air jet plate 4221, a cavity frame 4222, an actuator 4223, an insulating frame 4224, and a conductive frame 4225. The air jet plate 4221 is made of a flexible material and has a suspension plate 4221a and a hollow hole 4221b. The suspension plate 4221a is a sheet-like structure that bends and vibrates, and its shape and size correspond to the inner edge of the air-guiding component bearing area 4213. The hollow hole 4221b penetrates the center of the suspension plate 4221a to allow gas flow. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the suspension plate 4221a can be square, graphic, elliptical, triangular, or polygonal.
[0101] Furthermore, the aforementioned cavity frame 4222 is stacked on the jet orifice plate 4221, and its appearance corresponds to that of the jet orifice plate 4221. An actuator 4223 is stacked on the cavity frame 4222, defining a resonant chamber 4226 between itself, the jet orifice plate 4221, and the suspension plate 4221a. An insulating frame 4224 is stacked on the actuator 4223, and its appearance is similar to that of the cavity frame 4222. A conductive frame 4225 is stacked on the insulating frame 4224, and its appearance is similar to that of the insulating frame 4224. The conductive frame 4225 has a conductive pin 4225a and a conductive electrode 4225b extending outward from the outer edge of the conductive pin 4225a, and the conductive electrode 4225b extending inward from the inner edge of the conductive frame 4225.
[0102] Furthermore, the actuator 4223 also includes a piezoelectric carrier plate 4223a, an adjusting resonance plate 4223b, and a piezoelectric plate 4223c. The piezoelectric carrier plate 4223a is stacked on the cavity frame 4222. The adjusting resonance plate 4223b is stacked on the piezoelectric carrier plate 4223a. The piezoelectric plate 4223c is stacked on the adjusting resonance plate 4223b. The adjusting resonance plate 4223b and the piezoelectric plate 4223c are housed within an insulating frame 4224. The piezoelectric plate 4223c is electrically connected to the conductive plate 4223c by the conductive electrode 4225b of the conductive frame 4225. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the piezoelectric carrier plate 4223a and the adjusting resonance plate 4223b are made of conductive materials. The piezoelectric carrier plate 4223a has a piezoelectric pin 4223d, which is connected to the drive circuit (not shown) on the drive circuit board 423 along with the conductive pin 4225a to receive drive signals (which may be drive frequency and drive voltage). The drive signal forms a circuit through the piezoelectric pin 4223d, the piezoelectric carrier plate 4223a, the adjusting resonant plate 4223b, the piezoelectric plate 4223c, the conductive electrode 4225b, the conductive frame 4225, and the conductive pin 4225a. The insulating frame 4224 isolates the conductive frame 4225 from the actuator 4223 to prevent short circuits, allowing the drive signal to be transmitted to the piezoelectric plate 4223c. After receiving the drive signal, the piezoelectric plate 4223c deforms due to the piezoelectric effect, further driving the piezoelectric carrier plate 4223a and the adjusting resonant plate 4223b to reciprocate bending vibrations.
[0103] To further explain, the adjusting resonant plate 4223b is located between the piezoelectric plate 4223c and the piezoelectric carrier plate 4223a, acting as a buffer between them, and can adjust the vibration frequency of the piezoelectric carrier plate 4223a. Basically, the thickness of the adjusting resonant plate 4223b is greater than that of the piezoelectric carrier plate 4223a, and the vibration frequency of the actuator 4223 is adjusted by changing the thickness of the adjusting resonant plate 4223b. The jet nozzle plate 4221, cavity frame 4222, actuator 4223, insulating frame 4224, and conductive frame 4225 are sequentially stacked and positioned within the air-guiding assembly support area 4213, causing the piezoelectric actuator 422 to be positioned within the air-guiding assembly support area 4213. The piezoelectric actuator 422 defines a gap 4221c between the suspension plate 4221a and the inner edge of the air-guiding assembly support area 4213 for gas flow.
[0104] A gas flow chamber 4227 is formed between the jet nozzle 4221 and the bottom surface of the air guide assembly support area 4213. The gas flow chamber 4227 is connected to the resonant chamber 4226 between the actuator 4223, the jet nozzle 4221, and the suspension plate 4221a through the hollow hole 4221b in the jet nozzle 4221. By adjusting the vibration frequency of the gas in the resonant chamber 4226 to be close to the vibration frequency of the suspension plate 4221a, the resonant chamber 4226 and the suspension plate 4221a can generate a Helmholtz resonance effect, thereby improving the gas transmission efficiency. When the piezoelectric plate 4223c moves away from the bottom surface of the air guide assembly bearing area 4213, the piezoelectric plate 4223c drives the suspension plate 4221a of the jet nozzle plate 4221 to move away from the bottom surface of the air guide assembly bearing area 4213, causing the volume of the airflow chamber 4227 to expand rapidly, the internal pressure drops and a negative pressure is generated, which attracts the gas outside the piezoelectric actuator 422 to flow in through the gap 4221c and enter the resonant chamber 4226 through the hollow hole 4221b, increasing the air pressure in the resonant chamber 4226 and thus generating a pressure gradient. When the piezoelectric plate 4223c drives the suspension plate 4221a of the jet nozzle plate 4221 to move toward the bottom surface of the air guide assembly bearing area 4213, the gas in the resonant chamber 4226 flows out rapidly through the hollow hole 4221b, compressing the gas in the airflow chamber 4227, and causing the converged gas to be ejected rapidly and in large quantities through the vent 4217 of the air guide assembly bearing area 4213 in an ideal gas state close to Bernoulli's law.
[0105] By repeating Figure 9B and Figure 9C As shown in the figure, the piezoelectric plate 4223c vibrates reciprocally. According to the principle of inertia, the gas pressure inside the resonant chamber 4226 after exhaust is lower than the equilibrium gas pressure, which will guide the gas to re-enter the resonant chamber 4226. In this way, the vibration frequency of the gas in the resonant chamber 4226 is controlled to be similar to the vibration frequency of the piezoelectric plate 4223c, so as to generate the Helmholtz resonance effect and realize the high-speed and large-volume transmission of gas.
[0106] Please refer to the following: Figures 10A to 10CAs shown, the gas enters through the air inlet 4262 of the outer cover 426, enters the air inlet groove 4212 of the base 421 through the air inlet 4215, and flows to the position of the particle sensor 425. Furthermore, the piezoelectric actuator 422 continuously drives the gas in the air inlet path to facilitate the rapid introduction and stable flow of external gas. The gas passes above the particle sensor 425. At this time, the laser component 424 emits a beam of light through the light-transmitting window 4216 and enters the air inlet groove 4212. The air inlet groove 4212 passes above the particle sensor 425. When the beam of light from the particle sensor 425 irradiates the suspended particles in the gas, a scattering phenomenon and a projected light spot are generated. The particle sensor 425 receives the projected light spot generated by the scattering and calculates to obtain relevant information such as the particle size and quantity of suspended particles contained in the gas. The gas above the particle sensor 425 is also continuously driven by the piezoelectric actuator 422 and guided into the vent 4217 of the air guide component bearing area 4213 and into the outlet groove 4214. Finally, when the gas enters the outlet groove 4214, the gas is continuously supplied into the outlet groove 4214 by the piezoelectric actuator 422. Therefore, the gas in the outlet groove 4214 is pushed and discharged to the outside through the outlet port 4218 and the outlet frame port 4263, realizing high-speed and large-volume gas transmission.
[0107] It is worth noting that the aforementioned air pollution refers to one or a combination of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, total volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The Internet of Things (IoT) communication is a wireless communication method, used for wireless communication with the networked cloud computing service device 5. This wireless communication can be one of a Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module, a radio frequency identification (RFID) module, or a near-field communication (NFC) module; alternatively, the IoT communication can be a wired communication method, used for wired communication with the networked cloud computing service device 5. The exhaust volume of the duct fan 2 is 170 m³ / h or higher, and the optimal exhaust volume of the duct fan 2 of this invention is 170–500 m³ / h.
[0108] Please see Figure 2As shown, the filtration and purification component 6 of the present invention can be a combination of various embodiments. In some specific embodiments, the filtration and purification component 6 can be a filter 6a, which can be a filter with an MREV of 8 or higher (minimum filtration efficiency value), or the filter 6a can be a high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA filter). The filter is HEPA grade, which adsorbs chemical fumes, bacteria, dust particles and pollen contained in air pollution, thus achieving the effect of filtering and purifying the air. It is worth noting that the high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) of this invention is HEPA 10 or higher, with a dust holding capacity of more than 12000mg, or the filter 6a is a more efficient ULPA14 filter, further improving the filtration efficiency and meeting higher cleanliness requirements. In some specific embodiments, the filter and purification component 6 can be further combined with physical or chemical materials to provide a bactericidal effect on the air pollution, and the airflow path of the fan 2 is in the direction shown by the arrow. The filter and purification component 6 is combined with a chemical method of applying a decomposition layer to sterilize and remove air pollution. The decomposition layer can be an activated carbon 6b, which removes organic and inorganic substances in the air pollution, as well as colored and odorous substances. It is worth noting that the formaldehyde absorption capacity of the activated carbon 6b of this invention is greater than 1500mg.In some embodiments, the filter and purification component 6 can also be combined with a light-irradiated chemical method to sterilize and remove air pollution. The light irradiation is a photocatalyst unit consisting of a photocatalyst 6c and an ultraviolet lamp 6d, to further improve the removal efficiency of pollutants and allergens in the air. When the photocatalyst 6c is irradiated by the ultraviolet lamp 6d, it converts light energy into electrical energy, decomposes harmful substances in the air pollution, and disinfects and sterilizes, thereby achieving a filtration and sterilization effect. It is worth noting that the ultraviolet lamp 6d of the present invention has a power of 120mW or more. The light irradiation can be a photoplasma unit of a nano-light tube 6e. When the air pollution is irradiated by the nano-light tube 6e, the oxygen and water molecules in the air pollution are decomposed into highly oxidizing photoplasma, forming an ion gas flow that destroys organic molecules, thereby removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde, toluene, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air pollution. Compounds (VOCs) and other gas molecules are decomposed into water and carbon dioxide to further improve the removal efficiency of air pollutants and allergens, achieving a filtration and sterilization effect. In some embodiments, the filter and purification component 6 can also be combined with a decomposition unit to chemically remove air pollutants through sterilization. The decomposition unit can be a negative ion unit 6f, which causes the particles contained in the introduced air pollutants to become positively charged and attach to the negatively charged particles, thereby further improving the removal efficiency of air pollutants and allergens and achieving a filtration and sterilization effect on the introduced air pollutants. The decomposition unit can also be a plasma ion unit 6g, which uses plasma ions to decompose the particles contained in the air pollutants. Oxygen molecules ionize with water molecules to generate cations (H+) and anions (O2-). Substances with water molecules attached to the ions adhere to the surface of viruses and bacteria. Under the action of chemical reaction, they are transformed into highly oxidizing reactive oxygen species (hydroxyl, OH groups), thereby taking away hydrogen from the surface proteins of viruses and bacteria and oxidizing and decomposing them. This can decompose and eliminate pollutants, allergens and microorganisms in the air, improve air cleanliness, and achieve the effect of filtering and sterilizing the air pollution introduced by filtration. The decomposition unit can be an electrostatic filtration unit for 6 hours, which uses electrostatic force to capture and remove suspended particles in the air (such as dust, pollen, bacteria and other pollutants).
[0109] As explained above, the intelligent networked exhaust fan provided by this invention has a built-in gas detection module 4 with cloud connectivity for real-time monitoring and adjustment. Combined with the networked cloud computing service device 5 of the intelligent indoor air purification network mechanism, it has the following effects: real-time monitoring and adjustment. The built-in gas detection module 4 can monitor the humidity, temperature and air pollution data in the indoor air in real time, and transmit the detection data to the networked cloud computing service device 5 through Internet of Things (wireless or wired network) communication. The AI intelligent control platform 55 controls the operation of the duct fan 2 and dynamically adjusts the operation frequency and output air volume purification efficiency based on the collected and analyzed real-time monitoring detection data. That is, the higher the gas detection data is than the safe detection value, the greater the adjustment of the airflow of the guide fan 2; conversely, the closer the gas detection data is to the safe detection value, the smaller the adjustment of the airflow of the guide fan 2. Intelligent cloud connectivity: the gas detection module 4 has cloud connectivity capabilities, allowing all air pollution detection data to be uploaded to the networked cloud computing service device 5, enabling users to remotely view the air quality of the indoor environment. Multiple filtration technologies: the airflow path A of the intelligent networked exhaust fan is equipped with a filtration and purification component 6, which can be combined with activated carbon, high-efficiency filters, electrostatic filters, photocatalyst units, negative ion units, or plasma units, to adapt to different pollution sources. Achieve optimal filtration effect; energy saving and low consumption: when indoor and outdoor humidity is similar or air quality meets standards, the networked cloud computing service device 5 will dynamically adjust the operating frequency of the guide fan 2 based on the collected and analyzed real-time monitoring data, automatically switch to low-energy mode, and reduce air volume and noise. It will even stop operating to reduce unnecessary energy consumption when the indoor air quality approaches zero. Multi-device collaborative work: if multiple intelligent networked exhaust fans are configured in the same indoor space, the networked cloud computing service device 5 can adjust its operation based on the air pollution detection data of each device to form a collaborative air purification network and achieve optimal air quality throughout the entire area.
[0110] In summary, this invention provides an intelligent networked exhaust fan. The device incorporates a gas detection module 4 for real-time air pollution detection. Furthermore, the gas detection module 4 has cloud connectivity, facilitating remote monitoring and operation by users. It transmits air pollution detection data to a networked cloud computing service device 5 via IoT communication (wireless or wired). This cloud computing service device 5 intelligently selects a control command based on the collected and analyzed real-time air pollution detection data, transmitting it to the gas detection module 4 to modulate the fan's start-up and dynamically adjust its operating frequency and output airflow for purification efficiency. This not only automatically detects air quality and adjusts airflow, but also instantly removes air pollution to near-zero levels and discharges it outdoors, achieving air purification and pollution control effects, reducing unnecessary energy consumption, automating and optimizing operation, and maintaining optimal temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality in modern home environments. It possesses significant industrial practical value.
