Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to air purification equipment, in particular to a circulating air treatment device used in a subway car. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, subways, as one of the convenient means of transportation in cities, have brought great convenience to people's lives. However, since most urban subways are built underground and are semi-enclosed or fully enclosed places, the indoor air quality of public places such as subway stations is particularly important. The bacteria content, carbon dioxide content, and harmful chemical gas content in the air of subways and subway cars are also much higher than those in other public places. Due to the high density of the population, on the one hand, the weak air circulation capacity underground will cause the increase of carbon dioxide content; on the other hand, the human body is one of the important media for the spread of bacteria. The dense population will not only accelerate the spread of germs and bacteria, but also indirectly affect the overall environmental temperature and humidity, making it easier for bacteria to breed. In addition, the human body is prone to sweating in summer, and sweat is easy to attach to public facilities. With the help of sweat, bacteria and germs will become easier to spread. In view of indicators such as benzene and bacteria content in subways, air purification systems can be used in subway cars to filter particulate matter and chemicals in the air, improve the regional environment, and achieve the purpose of environmental monitoring of subway public spaces.

[0003] The excessive concentration of volatile organic compounds such as benzene can harm human health. Air purification is not effective only through ventilation or coarse filtration and simple sterilization in crowded subway cars. Currently, there is a lack of more effective air purification methods for subway cars, and there is a lack of effective air purification solutions for benzene organic matter, bacteria, and virus pollution in subway cars.

[0004] In recent years, photocatalytic purification technology has become an environmental pollution control technology with good application prospects due to its mild reaction conditions, good stability, and thorough purification effect. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has good photocorrosion resistance and catalytic activity, and is stable, cheap, easy to obtain, non-toxic and harmless. It is currently recognized as the best photocatalyst.

[0005] Titanium dioxide photocatalysts are usually used in powder form. In practical applications, titanium dioxide needs to be fixed on a carrier to overcome the shortcomings of suspended phase titanium dioxide photocatalysts. At present, the carrier materials mainly include glass carriers such as glass sheets, glass fiber meshes, etc., ceramic carriers such as alumina ceramic sheets, honeycomb ceramic columns, foam ceramics, etc., and metal carriers such as titanium sheets, stainless steel plates, nickel foams, etc. The usual loading method is the titanium colloid loading method or the method of adding titanium oxide grains to the binder loading method, and then sintering at high temperature to prepare a loaded photocatalyst.

[0006] In order to improve the air quality in subway cars, there is an urgent need for an air purification facility that can be embedded in the existing ventilation and filtering equipment in the subway car, especially a circulating air treatment device with an air purification unit manufactured using the principle of photocatalytic purification.

[0007] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to increase the understanding of the overall background of the present invention, and should not be regarded as acknowledging or suggesting in any form that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the circulating air treatment device for subway cars of the utility model is embedded in the shell of the existing subway car heating system 1, and includes: an airflow driving unit and a photocatalytic unit 13, wherein the airflow driving unit is arranged in the middle position of the shell of the subway car heating system 1, and is used to provide power for the circulating airflow generated in the car. The photocatalytic unit 13 is arranged at the corresponding position of the air inlet of the heating system (i.e., close to the air inlet position), and the photocatalytic unit 13 is located at the front end of the airflow driving unit, and is used to remove volatile organic pollutants such as benzene in the subway car and sterilize and disinfect.

[0036] Further Figure 1 , 2 As shown, preferably but not restrictively, the airflow driving unit adopts a forward-inclined centrifugal fan 15, and the number of the forward-inclined centrifugal fans 15 is two, and they are arranged side by side in the middle of the housing of the heating system 1. The photocatalytic units 13 are symmetrically arranged in two rows relative to the forward-inclined centrifugal fans 15, that is, the forward-inclined centrifugal fans 15 are arranged at the axisymmetric center of the two rows of photocatalytic units 13 (see Figure 4 ), the forward-inclined centrifugal fan has air intake on both sides and air outlet at the bottom. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the number of photocatalytic units in each row is preferably two. A heat exchanger 14 used in an existing heating system is located between the photocatalytic unit 13 and the forward-inclined centrifugal fan 15, and the photocatalytic unit 13 is disposed close to the heat exchanger 14 of the heating system.

[0037] Further Figure 3 As shown, the photocatalytic unit 13 includes a photocatalytic plate and a plurality of ultraviolet LED light sources. The photocatalytic plate adopts a foam ceramic plate 131 loaded with photocatalytic active components. The foam ceramic plate 131 is located at Figure 3 Below the middle grille light panel 132, the two are arranged in parallel and separated by a distance. A plurality of ultraviolet LED light sources (not shown in the figure) are evenly arranged on the bars of the grille light panel 132. The ultraviolet LED light sources preferably use UVA band LED light sources and are evenly distributed on the bars of the grille light panel. Preferably, the grille light panel 132 and the foam ceramic panel 131 are arranged in parallel and separated by 15mm to 20mm, so as to make the light source irradiate the photocatalytic panel more efficiently. The photocatalytic unit 13 is surrounded by a fixed frame structure, which can fix the grille light panel 132 and the foam ceramic panel 131 together.

[0038] In one or more exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the ultraviolet LED light source is preferably a point light source. More preferably, the wavelength of the ultraviolet LED light source is 365nm. The use of an ultraviolet LED light source in the UVA band can improve photoelectric efficiency and reduce energy loss. The wavelength of ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet LED light source is 280 to 390nm, which can be a single wavelength or a mixed wavelength.

[0039] Further, the opening rate of the foam ceramic plate 131 is 70% to 90%, and the pore density is 8 to 60 ppi. Preferably, but not restrictively, the photocatalytic foam ceramic plate 131 uses a foam alumina-based carrier as an open-pore foam structure, and the photocatalyst is a foam alumina-based carrier loaded with TiO2 photocatalyst. In the photocatalyst, TiO2 grains are embedded and dispersed on the outer surface of the photocatalyst, and among the TiO2 grains on the outer surface of the photocatalyst, TiO2 grains with a particle size of 5 to 50 μm account for more than 70%.

[0040] Further Figure 4 As shown, the shell of the existing heating system 1 of the subway car is arranged on the top of the car, the air inlet 11 is located on both sides of the bottom of the shell and is symmetrically arranged, and the air outlet is located in the middle of the shell. A bellows 12 is provided at the air inlet 11 of the heating system 1, and the bellows 12 has two openings, wherein the first opening faces the air inlet 11 of the heating system 1, and the second opening is perpendicular to the first opening and faces the photocatalytic unit 13. This design allows the airflow to be relatively concentrated before entering the photocatalytic unit, and the airflow forms a gathering under the constraint of the bellows, and can vertically enter the photocatalytic unit 13 through the second opening of the bellows. After the airflow enters the photocatalytic unit, under the irradiation of the ultraviolet LED lamp on the grille light board 132, a photocatalytic reaction occurs on the foam ceramic plate 131, which can filter and purify the passing airflow, especially effectively filtering or killing the benzene organic pollutants in the subway car and the bacteria and viruses that exist in large quantities in the air due to the dense population. The purified air flowing out of the photocatalytic unit is heated up under the action of the heat exchanger 14 and sucked into the forward-inclined centrifugal fan 15. Finally, the purified and heated air is discharged from the outlet of the forward-inclined centrifugal fan 15 and returns to the subway car, forming an air flow cycle.

[0041] Preferably, but not restrictively, a negative oxygen ion unit (not shown in the figure) is provided at the air outlet of the forward-inclined centrifugal fan 15, and the negative oxygen ion unit adopts a passive negative oxygen ion plate with a honeycomb-shaped ceramic as a carrier and mixed semiconductor materials. Under the action of the circulating airflow, the concentration of negative oxygen ions in the room can be effectively increased, making the air fresher.

[0042] The circulating air treatment device of the utility model can be installed in the shell of the existing subway car heating system, and the air in the car is photocatalytically filtered and purified while the circulating airflow is heated, which does not occupy additional space in the subway car and can make the filtration and purification of the air in the car more sufficient. The photocatalytic unit in the air treatment device can perform efficient circulating purification treatment on the subway car environment. The circulating air treatment device of the utility model is used for organic pollutants such as benzene that may exist in the subway car, and has good photocatalytic degradation performance. At the same time, it can effectively kill bacteria or viruses that are bred in the car due to the large number of people gathering, and has good application prospects.
