Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air purifiers, in particular to an ozone air purifier. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, people pay more and more attention to air quality while paying attention to their physical health, and their requirements for air quality are getting higher and higher, especially in some public places with dense crowds and poor ventilation. The air quality in these public places is generally poor, which seriously affects people's health. In order to reduce the impact of poor quality air on human health, it is necessary to use air purifiers to purify indoor air.

[0003] Existing indoor air purification methods generally use simple mechanical adsorption, electrostatic, chemical (or physical) adsorption, negative ion and photocatalytic methods. Since simple mechanical adsorption and electrostatic dust removal have limited effects on air purification, they are mainly used to remove suspended particulate matter, and the degree of purification of organic pollution is not high, so they have gradually been eliminated. Products under other technologies also have their own advantages and disadvantages, and are adapted to different pollutant purification and different customer requirements. For example, adsorption purifiers can adsorb specific or even most organic pollutants according to the characteristics of the selected adsorption materials, but there is a saturation problem of the adsorption material, and the material needs to be regenerated and replaced. For occasions with high particle concentrations, the adsorption capacity of the adsorption material will be affected due to the blockage of particles. Negative ions are conducive to the decomposition of organic matter, forming basically harmless carbon dioxide, water and other inorganic substances, and also have a certain air freshening effect, which helps to improve the quality and comfort of the air, but the products in the reaction process also have adverse effects on the human body to a certain extent. Its control ability over bacteria, viruses and chemical pollutants is also very limited; photocatalytic purification technology decomposes organic pollutants under the irradiation of ultraviolet rays or even natural light through the catalytic action of nano-photocatalysts, and has a good bactericidal effect, but as a specific unit operation process, it still has limitations, such as low purification efficiency, and limited ability to remove pollutants in actual application; the above-mentioned air purifier cannot completely kill viruses and bacteria in the air during the air evolution process, and cannot remove toxic gases such as formaldehyde and benzene from the air.
