Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to air conditioning technology, and in particular to an intelligent networked air conditioner that can combine the functions of a total heat exchanger to achieve air exchange, humidity control and temperature control. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of smart homes, users' demands for home appliances have shifted from simply improving performance to enhancing intelligence and energy efficiency. Existing air conditioners cannot automatically adjust temperature and humidity according to real-time changes in the indoor environment, and most lack air exchange functions, leading to a decline in indoor air quality. Especially in enclosed environments, prolonged operation of traditional air conditioners can cause an increase in carbon dioxide concentration and the accumulation of air pollutants, posing a potential health threat.

[0003] Furthermore, users' demand for remote operation and data visualization is also growing. Traditional air conditioning products, lacking intelligent management and networking capabilities, cannot meet users' higher expectations for environmental control. In view of this, it is necessary to develop a cooling and heating air conditioner that can monitor environmental data in real time, intelligently adjust indoor air quality and temperature and humidity, and be remotely controlled. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an intelligent networked air conditioner / heater. This air conditioner uses a built-in gas detection module to monitor environmental data in real time and has cloud connectivity, allowing users to remotely control the environment and the equipment. Through IoT communication, it analyzes and controls air quality data such as temperature, humidity, and air pollution using cloud computing. It can automatically adjust the air conditioner's operating status according to needs, achieving automatic adjustment of temperature, humidity, and air exchange, providing fresh, comfortable, and energy-efficient indoor temperature control.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a broader embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent networked air conditioner, comprising: a main body, having a flow channel, an air inlet pipe, an air outlet, a circulating air inlet, and an air exchange pipe; the flow channel connecting the air inlet pipe, the air outlet, the circulating air inlet, and the air exchange pipe for controlling the airflow direction; the air inlet pipe and the air exchange pipe connecting to outdoor air, and each having a valve for controlling the connection between the outdoor air and the flow channel; at least one heat exchange core disposed in the air inlet pipe, allowing heat exchange to be formed by introducing gas into the flow channel; multiple blowers respectively installed in the air inlet pipe and the flow channel, guiding gas out from the air outlet; multiple filtration and purification components respectively disposed at the inlets of the air inlet pipe and the circulating air inlet, filtering air pollutants introduced into the flow channel from the air inlet pipe, and filtering air pollutants in the circulating air introduced into the flow channel from the indoor air inlet; and a temperature regulator. The module, located in the airflow channel, provides temperature exchange for cooling or heating air, and outputs air from the air outlet to regulate the temperature and humidity of the indoor area; at least one main drive controller controls the start-up of the air duct and dynamically adjusts the operating frequency and output air volume of the air duct, as well as controls the operating mode of the temperature regulation module for both cooling and heating temperature exchange; at least one gas detection module, electrically connected to the main drive controller, detects the temperature, humidity, and air pollution in the air, outputs detection data, and transmits the detection data to a networked cloud computing service device via Internet of Things (IoT) communication. The networked cloud computing service device collects and analyzes the detection data, monitors the detection data in real time, and intelligently selects a control command, which is transmitted to the gas detection module to control the main drive controller to start the operation of the air duct, dynamically adjust the operating frequency and output air volume of the air duct, and control the operating mode of the temperature regulation module for both cooling and heating temperature exchange.

[0097] Embodiments embodying the features and advantages 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.

[0098] like Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, the present invention is an intelligent networked air conditioner / heater, comprising: a main body 1a, at least one heat exchange core 1, multiple air guide fans 2, multiple filter and purification components 3, at least one temperature regulation module 4, at least one main drive controller 5, and at least one gas detection module 6. It is worth noting that in this embodiment of the invention, there are two air guide fans 2, two filter and purification components 3, one temperature regulation module 4, one main drive controller 5, and one gas detection module 6, but this is not a limitation, and the number can be increased or varied according to actual implementation needs.

[0099] The aforementioned main body 1a is provided with a flow guide channel 11a, an air inlet pipe 12a, an air outlet 13a, a recirculation air inlet 14a, and an air exchange pipe 15a. The flow guide channel 11a connects the air inlet pipe 12a, the air outlet 13a, the recirculation air inlet 14a, and the air exchange pipe 15a to control the airflow direction. The air inlet pipe 12a and the air exchange pipe 15a connect to the outdoor field gas and are each provided with a valve 16a to control the connection with the flow guide channel 11a. The aforementioned heat exchange core 1 is located in the air inlet pipe 11a. In the air duct 12a, heat exchange is formed in the gas inlet guide channel 11a; the aforementioned air guide fan 2 is installed in the guide channel 11a and the air inlet duct 12a respectively, guiding the gas to be output from the air outlet 13a; the aforementioned filter and purification component 3 is respectively installed at the inlet of the air inlet duct 12a and the inlet of the recirculation air inlet 14a, filtering the air pollution in the air introduced into the guide channel 11a from the air inlet duct 12a, and filtering the circulating gas in the indoor area introduced into the guide channel 11a from the recirculation air inlet 14a. Air pollution; the aforementioned temperature regulation module 4 is installed in the airflow channel 11a to provide temperature exchange for cooling or heating air, and outputs from the air outlet 13a to implement temperature and humidity regulation in the indoor area; the aforementioned main drive controller 5 controls the start of the air guide fan 2 and dynamically adjusts the operating frequency and output air volume of the air guide fan 2, as well as controls the start of the operating mode of the temperature regulation module 4 for hot and cold temperature exchange; the aforementioned gas detection module 6 is electrically connected to the main drive controller 5, the gas detection module 6 detects the temperature, humidity and air pollution in the air, and outputs a detection data, and transmits the detection data to a networked cloud computing service device 7 through Internet of Things communication, the networked cloud computing service device 7 collects and analyzes the detection data, monitors the detection data in real time and intelligently selects a control command, transmits it to the gas detection module 6 to control the main drive controller 5 to start the operation of the air guide fan 2 and dynamically adjust the operating frequency and output air volume of the air guide fan 2, as well as control the start of the operating mode of the temperature regulation module 4 for hot and cold temperature exchange.

[0100] 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. It is worth noting that in this embodiment of the invention, the detection data output by the gas detection module 6 can be particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, temperature, humidity, etc.

[0101] The aforementioned temperature control module 4 includes a uniform cold exchanger 41, which provides temperature exchange for cooling air, and can remove heat equal to the floor area × 600 BTU (cooling capacity) per hour. The temperature control module 4 also includes a uniform heat exchanger 42, which provides temperature exchange for heating air. It is worth noting that the host drive controller 5 activates the cold and heat exchange operation mode, which causes the temperature control module 4 to adjust the indoor space to the optimal comfort environment, maintaining the air temperature at 25℃±3℃ and the humidity at 50%±10%.

[0102] like Figure 2 As shown, the gas detection module 6 includes a control circuit board 61 and a gas detection body 62. The gas detection body 62 detects air pollution, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, temperature, and humidity and outputs detection data. The control circuit board 61 collects, calculates, analyzes, and outputs the detection data to form a serial communication (IIC) signal input. The networked cloud computing service device 7 receives and analyzes the detection data in real time and outputs a universal asynchronous transceiver (UART) signal and a universal input and output (GP I / O) signal to the host drive controller 5.

[0103] The aforementioned control circuit board 61 includes a power converter 611, at least one connection interface 612, a microcontroller (MCU) 613, and a wireless communicator 614. The power converter 611 provides a DC voltage divider and modulated output to a required DC voltage, and supplies this required DC voltage to the gas detection unit 62 and the host drive controller 5 via at least one connection interface 612 for startup. The microcontroller (MCU) 613 connects to the gas detection unit 62 via one connection interface 612 to input the detection data to form the serial communication (IIC) signal, for processing and analyzing the detection data. It also connects to another connection interface 612 to output a universal asynchronous transceiver (UART) signal and a universal input / output (GPI / O) signal for regulation. The wireless communicator 614 receives the detection data and wirelessly transmits it to the networked cloud computing service device 7. The networked cloud computing service device 7 collects and analyzes the real-time monitoring detection data and intelligently selects a control command to receive from the wireless communicator 614. This command is then transmitted to the microcontroller (MCU) 613, which outputs a universal asynchronous transceiver (UART) signal and a universal input / output (GPI / O) signal. The I / O signal is provided to the host drive controller 5 for regulation, so as to control the host drive controller 5 to start the operation of the air guide fan 2 and dynamically adjust the operating frequency and output air volume of the air guide fan 2, as well as start the cooling and heating operation mode of the temperature regulation module 4.

[0104] Furthermore, the aforementioned gas detection module 6 further includes a wired communication port 615, which is electrically connected to the control circuit board 61 via a connection interface 612. This allows for external wired communication transmission of received detection data to the networked cloud computing service device 7. The device collects and analyzes the real-time monitoring data and intelligently selects a control command. This command is received via the wired communication port 615 and transmitted to the microcontroller (MCU) 613. The MCU outputs a Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter (UART) signal and a Universal Input / Output (GPI / O) signal to the host drive controller 5 for regulation. This control enables the host drive controller 5 to activate and regulate the operation of the fan 2, dynamically adjust its operating frequency and output airflow, and activate the temperature regulation module 4's heating / cooling operation mode. It is noteworthy that the wired communication port 615 is an RS485 port, communicating with the networked cloud computing service device 7 via a wired connection.

[0105] like Figure 11As shown, the aforementioned networked cloud computing service device 7 includes a wireless network cloud computing service module 71, a cloud control service unit 72, a device management unit 73, an application unit 74, and an AI intelligent computing platform 75. The wireless network cloud computing service module 71 receives air quality detection data from outdoor and indoor areas, receives communication information from the gas detection module 6 of the intelligent networked air conditioner, and transmits control commands. The wireless network cloud computing service module 71 receives indoor air quality detection data and transmits it to the cloud control service unit 72 for storage, forming an air pollution big data database. It then performs intelligent calculations and compares the data with the air pollution database, and sends control commands to the wireless network cloud computing service module 71, which in turn transmits them to the gas detection module 6 of the intelligent networked air conditioner to control its startup. The device management unit 73 receives air quality data from the wireless network cloud computing service module 71. The communication information of the gas detection module 6 serves as user login management and device binding management. It also provides management information such as maintenance and management of the smart networked air conditioner, automated anomaly detection, analysis, processing and improvement, customer feedback and hardware and software technology improvement correction mechanism to the application unit 74 for system control management. The application unit 74 also displays and notifies users of the air quality detection data obtained from the cloud control service unit 72, allowing users to understand the real-time status of the smart networked air conditioner through their mobile phones or communication devices, and to control the operation of the smart networked air conditioner through the application unit 74. The AI ​​intelligent computing platform 75 receives and analyzes the air quality detection data from the gas detection module 6 of the smart networked air conditioner through IoT technology, and generates control commands based on the analysis results to realize the automated control and optimization of the smart networked air conditioner, so as to automatically adjust the operating mode of the smart networked air conditioner.

[0106] It is worth noting that the aforementioned Internet of Things (IoT) communication refers to a collective network connecting various devices and a technology that facilitates communication between devices and the cloud, as well as between devices themselves. This IoT communication can be a wired communication, allowing connection to the networked cloud computing service device 7 via a wired line. Alternatively, it can be a wireless communication, allowing wireless connection to the networked cloud computing service device 7, and 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.

[0107] In the specific implementation of the intelligent networked air conditioner of the present invention, when the AI ​​intelligent calculation platform 75 of the networked cloud computing service device 7 monitors the carbon dioxide (CO2) detection data as too high, it immediately and intelligently selects and transmits control commands to the gas detection module 6 to control the host drive controller 5 to start the operation of the guide fan 2 in the intake pipe 12a and the guide channel 11a, and to open the valve 16a at the intake pipe 12a and the ventilation pipe 15a. This causes the gas in the outdoor area to be guided by the suction of the guide fan 2 in the intake pipe 12a to pass through the filtration and purification component 3, and then enter the guide channel 11a through the heat exchange core 1 to form heat exchange. The gas is then guided by the guide fan 2 in the guide channel 11a to enter the indoor area through the air outlet 13a. The circulating gas in the indoor area is then introduced through the circulation intake 14a to pass through the filtration and purification component 3, and then into the guide channel 11a. It is then discharged to the outdoor area through the ventilation pipe 15a, and some gas passes through the guide channel 11a to form gas. Heat exchange occurs, and the air is then guided by the fan 2 in the guide channel 11a to enter the indoor area through the air outlet 13a, thus creating an air exchange between the outdoor and indoor areas. When the AI ​​intelligent calculation platform 75 of the networked cloud computing service device 7 monitors the carbon dioxide (CO2) detection data in real time and reaches a balance between the carbon dioxide (CO2) in the outdoor and indoor areas, it immediately and intelligently selects and transmits control commands to the gas detection module 6 to control the host drive controller 5 to start the valve 16a at the air inlet pipe 12a and the air exchange pipe 15a to close. This allows the intelligent networked air conditioner to continue monitoring the indoor environment, including temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, and air pollution. The AI ​​intelligent calculation platform 75 of the networked cloud computing service device 7 receives, analyzes, and calculates the data, enabling AI intelligent control of environmental data analysis to achieve automated operation and real-time monitoring of the indoor air quality status. It continues to adjust the indoor temperature and humidity to provide fresh, comfortable, and energy-efficient indoor temperature control.

[0108] As described above, the present invention provides an intelligent networked air conditioner / heater. Through the gas detection module 6, it can continuously monitor the environment, including temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, and air pollution. The AI ​​intelligent computing platform 75 of the networked cloud computing service device 7 receives, analyzes, and processes this data, enabling AI-powered intelligent control of environmental data analysis for automated operation and real-time monitoring of indoor air quality. When the indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is too high, it can introduce and filter fresh outdoor air to achieve air exchange, and adjust indoor temperature and humidity to provide fresh, comfortable, and energy-efficient indoor temperature control. This allows the indoor environment to react quickly to real-time environmental changes, optimize system energy efficiency, and maintain optimal air quality.

[0109] Please see again Figures 4A to 9AAs shown, after understanding the overall structure and architecture of the intelligent networked air conditioner of the present invention, the detailed structure of the gas detection main body 62 of the gas detection module 6 will be described in detail below.

[0110] Please see again Figure 4A , Figure 4B , Figure 5 , Figure 6A Up to 6C, Figure 7 As shown, the gas detection body 62 includes a base 621, a piezoelectric actuator 622, a drive circuit board 623, a laser assembly 624, a particle sensor 625, an outer cover 626, and a gas sensor 627.

[0111] The aforementioned base 621 has a laser setting area 6211, an air inlet groove 6212, an air guide component support area 6213, and an air outlet groove 6214. The air inlet groove 6212 has an air inlet port 6215 and a light-transmitting window 6216 penetrating through its two side walls, communicating with the laser setting area 6211. The air guide component support area 6213 communicates with the air inlet groove 6212 and has a vent hole 6217 penetrating its bottom surface. The air outlet groove 6214 communicates with the vent hole 6217 and has an air outlet 6218. The aforementioned outer cover 626 covers the base 621 and has a side plate 6261. The side plate 6261 is provided with an air inlet 6262 and an air outlet 6263. The air inlet 6262 corresponds to the air inlet 6215 of the base 621, and the air outlet 6263 corresponds to the air outlet 6218 of the base 621.

[0112] The aforementioned laser component 624, particle sensor 625, and gas sensor 627 are all integrally electrically connected and mounted on the drive circuit board 623. When the drive circuit board 623 is closed, it is located within the base 621. To clarify the positions of the laser component 624 and particle sensor 625 relative to the base 621, the drive circuit board 623 is deliberately omitted. The laser component 624 is housed within the laser setting area 6211 of the base 621, and the particle sensor 625 is housed within the air inlet groove 6212 of the base 621 and aligned with the laser component 624. Furthermore, the laser component 624 corresponds to the light-transmitting window 6216, through which the laser emitted by the laser component 624 passes, illuminating the air inlet groove 6212. The beam path emitted by the laser component 624 passes through the light-transmitting window 6216 and forms an orthogonal direction with the air inlet groove 6212. The laser component 624 emits a beam that enters the air intake groove 6212 through the light-transmitting window 6216. 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 625 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 624 emits a parallel light source that passes through the light-transmitting window 6216.

[0113] The aforementioned gas sensor 627 is positioned and housed in the gas outlet groove 6214 for detecting gas contamination introduced into the gas outlet groove 6214. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the particulate sensor 625 outputs detection data to detect suspended particulates, and the gas sensor 627 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.

[0114] Please see Figure 7As shown, the piezoelectric actuator 622 is housed in the air guide assembly bearing area 6213 of the base 621. The air guide assembly bearing area 6213 communicates with the air inlet groove 6212. When the drive circuit board 623 is sealed inside the base 621 and the outer cover 626 covers the outside of the base 621, the air inlet frame 6262 corresponds to the air inlet port 6215 of the base 621, defining an air inlet path, and the air outlet frame 6263 corresponds to the air outlet port 6218 of the base 621, jointly defining an air outlet path. At this time, the piezoelectric actuator 622 actuates. At the same time, the gas in the intake groove 6212 is drawn into the piezoelectric actuator 622, and the gas is supplied through the vent 6217 of the air guide assembly bearing area 6213 and into the outlet groove 6214. Finally, after the gas enters the outlet groove 6214, because the piezoelectric actuator 622 continuously supplies gas from the intake path into the outlet groove 6214, the gas in the outlet groove 6214 will be pushed to the outlet path and discharged to the outside through the outlet port 6218 and the outlet frame port 6263, realizing high-speed and large-volume gas transmission.

[0115] Having understood the above description of the gas detection body 62 structure, the following is a detailed explanation of the piezoelectric actuator 622.

[0116] Please see Figure 8A and Figure 8B The piezoelectric actuator 622 includes an air jet plate 6221, a cavity frame 6222, an actuator 6223, an insulating frame 6224, and a conductive frame 6225. The air jet plate 6221 is made of a flexible material and has a suspension plate 6221a and a hollow hole 6221b. The suspension plate 6221a 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 6213. The hollow hole 6221b penetrates the center of the suspension plate 6221a to allow gas flow. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the suspension plate 6221a can be square, graphic, elliptical, triangular, or polygonal.

[0117] Furthermore, the aforementioned cavity frame 6222 is stacked on the jet orifice plate 6221, and its appearance corresponds to that of the jet orifice plate 6221. An actuator 6223 is stacked on the cavity frame 6222, defining a resonant chamber 6226 between itself, the jet orifice plate 6221, and the suspension plate 6221a. An insulating frame 6224 is stacked on the actuator 6223, and its appearance is similar to that of the cavity frame 6222. A conductive frame 6225 is stacked on the insulating frame 6224, and its appearance is similar to that of the insulating frame 6224. The conductive frame 6225 has a conductive pin 6225a and a conductive electrode 6225b extending outward from the outer edge of the conductive pin 6225a, and the conductive electrode 6225b extending inward from the inner edge of the conductive frame 6225.

[0118] Furthermore, the actuator 6223 also includes a piezoelectric carrier plate 6223a, an adjusting resonance plate 6223b, and a piezoelectric plate 6223c. The piezoelectric carrier plate 6223a is stacked on the cavity frame 6222. The adjusting resonance plate 6223b is stacked on the piezoelectric carrier plate 6223a. The piezoelectric plate 6223c is stacked on the adjusting resonance plate 6223b. The adjusting resonance plate 6223b and the piezoelectric plate 6223c are housed within an insulating frame 6224. The piezoelectric plate 6223c is electrically connected to the conductive plate 6223c by the conductive electrode 6225b of the conductive frame 6225. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the piezoelectric carrier plate 6223a and the adjusting resonance plate 6223b are made of conductive materials. The piezoelectric carrier plate 6223a has a piezoelectric pin 6223d, which is connected to the drive circuit (not shown) on the drive circuit board 623 along with the conductive pin 6225a to receive drive signals (which may be drive frequency and drive voltage). The drive signal forms a circuit through the piezoelectric pin 6223d, the piezoelectric carrier plate 6223a, the adjusting resonant plate 6223b, the piezoelectric plate 6223c, the conductive electrode 6225b, the conductive frame 6225, and the conductive pin 6225a. The insulating frame 6224 isolates the conductive frame 6225 from the actuator 6223 to prevent short circuits, allowing the drive signal to be transmitted to the piezoelectric plate 6223c. After receiving the drive signal, the piezoelectric plate 6223c deforms due to the piezoelectric effect, further driving the piezoelectric carrier plate 6223a and the adjusting resonant plate 6223b to produce reciprocating bending vibrations.

[0119] To further explain, the adjusting resonant plate 6223b is located between the piezoelectric plate 6223c and the piezoelectric carrier plate 6223a, acting as a buffer between them, and can adjust the vibration frequency of the piezoelectric carrier plate 6223a. Basically, the thickness of the adjusting resonant plate 6223b is greater than that of the piezoelectric carrier plate 6223a, and the vibration frequency of the actuator 6223 is adjusted by changing the thickness of the adjusting resonant plate 6223b. The jet nozzle plate 6221, cavity frame 6222, actuator 6223, insulating frame 6224, and conductive frame 6225 are stacked sequentially and positioned within the air guide assembly support area 6213, causing the piezoelectric actuator 622 to be positioned within the air guide assembly support area 6213. The piezoelectric actuator 622 defines a gap 6221c between the suspension plate 6221a and the inner edge of the air guide assembly support area 6213 for gas flow.

[0120] A gas flow chamber 6227 is formed between the jet nozzle 6221 and the bottom surface of the air guide assembly support area 6213. The gas flow chamber 6227 is connected to the resonant chamber 6226 between the actuator 6223, the jet nozzle 6221, and the suspension plate 6221a through the hollow hole 6221b in the jet nozzle 6221. By making the vibration frequency of the gas in the resonant chamber 6226 close to that of the suspension plate 6221a, the resonant chamber 6226 and the suspension plate 6221a can generate a Helmholtz resonance effect, thereby improving the gas transmission efficiency. When the piezoelectric plate 6223c moves away from the bottom surface of the air guide assembly bearing area 6213, the piezoelectric plate 6223c drives the suspension plate 6221a of the jet nozzle plate 6221 to move away from the bottom surface of the air guide assembly bearing area 6213, causing the volume of the airflow chamber 6227 to expand rapidly, the internal pressure drops and a negative pressure is generated, which attracts the gas outside the piezoelectric actuator 622 to flow in through the gap 6221c and enter the resonant chamber 6226 through the hollow hole 6221b, increasing the air pressure in the resonant chamber 6226 and thus generating a pressure gradient. When the piezoelectric plate 6223c drives the suspension plate 6221a of the jet nozzle plate 6221 to move toward the bottom surface of the air guide assembly bearing area 6213, the gas in the resonant chamber 6226 flows out rapidly through the hollow hole 6221b, compressing the gas in the airflow chamber 6227, and causing the converged gas to be ejected rapidly and in large quantities through the vent 6217 of the air guide assembly bearing area 6213 in an ideal gas state close to Bernoulli's law.

[0121] By repeating Figure 9B and Figure 9C As shown in the figure, the piezoelectric plate 6223c vibrates reciprocally. According to the principle of inertia, the gas pressure inside the resonant chamber 6226 after exhaust is lower than the equilibrium gas pressure, which will guide the gas to re-enter the resonant chamber 6226. In this way, the vibration frequency of the gas in the resonant chamber 6226 is controlled to be similar to the vibration frequency of the piezoelectric plate 6223c, so as to generate the Helmholtz resonance effect and realize the high-speed and large-volume transmission of gas.

[0122] Please refer to the following: Figures 10A to 10CAs shown, the gas enters through the air inlet 6262 of the outer cover 626, enters the air inlet groove 6212 of the base 621 through the air inlet 6215, and flows to the position of the particle sensor 625. Furthermore, the piezoelectric actuator 622 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 625. At this time, the laser component 624 emits a beam of light through the light-transmitting window 6216 and enters the air inlet groove 6212. The air inlet groove 6212 passes above the particle sensor 625. When the beam of light from the particle sensor 625 irradiates the suspended particles in the gas, a scattering phenomenon and a projected light spot are generated. The particle sensor 625 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 625 is also continuously driven by the piezoelectric actuator 622 and guided into the vent 6217 of the air guide component bearing area 6213 and into the outlet groove 6214. Finally, when the gas enters the outlet groove 6214, the gas is continuously supplied into the outlet groove 6214 by the piezoelectric actuator 622. Therefore, the gas in the outlet groove 6214 is pushed and discharged to the outside through the outlet port 6218 and the outlet frame port 6263, realizing high-speed and large-volume gas transmission.

[0123] Please see again Figure 3As shown, the filtration and purification component 3 of the present invention can be a combination of various embodiments. In some specific embodiments, the filtration and purification component 3 can be a filter 3a, which can be a filter with an MREV of 8 or higher (minimum filtration efficiency value), or the filter 3a can be a high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA filter). The filter uses HEPA filters to adsorb chemical fumes, bacteria, dust particles, and pollen contained in air pollution, thus achieving a filtration and purification effect. It is worth noting that the HEPA filter of this invention is HEPA 10 or higher, with a dust holding capacity greater than 12000mg, or filter 3a is a more efficient ULPA14 filter, further improving filtration efficiency and meeting higher cleanliness requirements. In some specific embodiments, the filter and purification component 3 can be further combined with physical or chemical materials to provide a sterilization effect on the air pollution. The airflow path of the fan 2 is in the direction shown by the arrow. The filter and purification component 3 combines a chemical method of coating a decomposition layer to sterilize and remove air pollution. The decomposition layer can be activated carbon 3b, which removes organic and inorganic substances from the air pollution, as well as colored and odorous substances. It is worth noting that the formaldehyde absorption capacity of the activated carbon 3b of this invention is greater than 1500mg. In some embodiments, the filter and purification component 3 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 3c and an ultraviolet lamp 3d, to further improve the removal efficiency of pollutants and allergens in the air. When the photocatalyst 3c is irradiated by the ultraviolet lamp 3d, it can convert light energy into electrical energy, decompose harmful substances in the air pollution, and disinfect and sterilize to achieve a filtration and sterilization effect. It is worth noting that the power of the ultraviolet lamp 3d of the present invention is above 120mw. The light irradiation can be a photoplasma unit consisting of a nanotube 3e. When the air pollution is introduced through the nanotube 3e irradiation, 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. Gas molecules such as compounds (VOCs) 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 3 can also be combined with a decomposition unit to chemically remove air pollutants through sterilization. The decomposition unit can be a negative ion unit 3f, which causes the particles contained in the introduced air pollutants to attach to the negatively charged particles, further improving the removal efficiency of air pollutants and allergens, achieving a filtration and sterilization effect on the introduced air pollutants. The decomposition unit can also be a plasma ion unit 3g, which uses plasma ions to ionize oxygen molecules and water molecules contained in the air pollutants to generate cations (H+). +When substances containing ions (O2-) and anions (O2-) with water molecules attached to them adhere to the surface of viruses and bacteria, they are converted into highly oxidizing reactive oxygen species (hydroxyl, OH groups) under the action of chemical reactions. This process removes hydrogen from the surface proteins of viruses and bacteria, oxidizing and decomposing them. This process can decompose and eliminate pollutants, allergens, and microorganisms in the air, improving air cleanliness and achieving the effect of filtering and sterilizing the air pollution introduced through filtration. The decomposition unit can be an electrostatic filtration unit for 3 hours, which uses electrostatic force to capture and remove suspended particles (such as dust, pollen, bacteria, and other pollutants) in the air.
