[0042] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0043] The core of the utility model is to provide an air quality detection module, by setting up air inlet channel and air outlet channel on sensor box, and setting up the notch of the air purifier internal negative pressure space guide air between the air outlet of air outlet channel and sensor assembly, even if the sensor assembly air outlet place continues negative pressure, and then drive the outside environment airflow to enter the sensor assembly inside quickly through air inlet channel, and then guarantee the detection precision of sensor assembly.
[0044] Another core of the utility model is to provide an air purifier including the above-mentioned air quality detection module, with the same technical features, can solve the same technical problems.
[0045] Please refer to Figures 1-4 An air quality detection module for detecting ambient air quality in an air purifier, comprising:
[0046] Sensor assembly 3,
[0047] The sensor box 2 is used to fix the sensor assembly 3, and it is provided with an air inlet channel 21 and an air outlet channel 22 inside. The air inlet channel 21 and the air outlet channel 22 are respectively used to connect the external environment with the air inlet and air outlet of the sensor assembly 3.
[0048] The sealing gasket 4 is disposed between the sensor box 2 and the sensor assembly 3 to seal the seam between the air inlet channel 21 and the air inlet of the sensor assembly 3, and to seal the seam between the air outlet channel 22 and the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3.
[0049] The sealing gasket 4 has a notch 41 at the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3, which is used to connect the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3 with the negative pressure space inside the air purifier.
[0050] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the sensor assembly 3 is installed inside the sensor box 2, which facilitates the installation of the sensor assembly 3 and the air purifier. Since the sensor box 2 can be directly fixed to the outer shell of the air purifier, the actual installation position of the sensor assembly 3 is close to the external environment, which facilitates the introduction of airflow from the external environment to the detection position inside the sensor assembly 3. This ensures that the detection result of the sensor assembly 3 is equal to the actual value of the external environment, thus ensuring the effectiveness of the detection.
[0051] Meanwhile, an air inlet channel 21 is provided inside the sensor box 2, and the air inlet channel 21 is directly connected to the air inlet of the sensor assembly 3, so that the airflow of the external environment can directly enter the test position of the sensor assembly 3 through the air inlet channel 21, thereby ensuring that the sensor assembly 3 detects the airflow of the external environment. At the same time, a sealing gasket 4 is added to improve the sealing of the connection between the air inlet channel 21 and the air inlet of the sensor assembly 3.
[0052] Furthermore, an air outlet channel 22 is provided inside the sensor box 2 and is connected to the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3. This allows the airflow after the sensor assembly 3 has been tested to be discharged to the outside of the air purifier through the air outlet channel 22. At the same time, a sealing gasket 4 is added to seal the connection between the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3 and the air outlet channel 22. However, a notch 41 is provided at this sealed position, so that the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3 can be connected to the negative pressure space inside the air purifier through the notch 41. This makes the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3 in a negative pressure state, which accelerates the exhaust of gas from the sensor assembly 3 and accelerates the gas flow rate at the air inlet of the sensor assembly 3. This allows the airflow from the external environment to quickly enter the sensor assembly 3 through the air inlet channel 21, which is equivalent to the function of an active fan inside the laser sensor, thereby effectively improving the detection accuracy of the infrared sensor.
[0053] Furthermore, the conductive cross section of the notch 41 directly affects the negative pressure at the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3, which directly affects the airflow velocity inside the sensor assembly 3. Therefore, during the design and production process, it is only necessary to cut the sealing gasket 4 and change the size of the notch 41 to adjust the airflow velocity inside the sensor assembly 3. Compared with other design changes, it has the advantages of low cost and easy implementation.
[0054] In some embodiments, a ventilation channel 23 is provided at the position of the sensor box 2 near the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3, and the ventilation channel 23 connects the external environment and the negative pressure space inside the air purifier.
[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the sensor box 2 is also equipped with a ventilation channel 23, which connects the negative pressure space inside the air purifier with the external environment to balance the internal and external air pressure.
[0056] In some embodiments, the sealing gasket 4 at the edge of the notch 41 forms a semi-enclosed structure to the seam between the air outlet 22 and the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3, and the open area of the notch 41 faces the opening end of the ventilation channel 23.
[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, one end of the ventilation channel 23 is close to the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3. That is, the negative pressure space inside the air purifier will attract outside air to enter through the ventilation channel 23, and the airflow in the ventilation channel 23 will flow through the gap 41, forming a low pressure area at the gap 41, which in turn makes the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3 negative pressure, thereby driving the gas flow in the sensor assembly 3.
[0058] In some embodiments, a through hole is provided on the surface of the sealing gasket 4, and the two ends of the through hole are respectively connected to the air inlet channel 21 and the air inlet of the sensor assembly 3. The cross-sectional area of the through hole is not less than the cross-sectional area of the air inlet channel 21 and the air inlet of the sensor assembly 3.
[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, the sealing gasket 4 is pasted on the outer surface of the sensor assembly 3 and has a through hole inside to expose the air inlet and outlet of the sensor assembly 3. The sealing gasket 4 located at the air inlet of the sensor assembly 3 completely surrounds the air inlet, effectively ensuring the sealing around the air inlet. The cross-sectional area of the through hole is not less than the cross-sectional area of the air inlet and the air inlet channel 21, thereby avoiding the sealing gasket 4 from increasing the air intake resistance of the sensor assembly 3.
[0060] The sealing gasket 4 located at the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3 partially surrounds the air outlet, forming a gap 41 at the unenclosed position. The gap 41 connects to the negative pressure space inside the air purifier and faces the opening end of the ventilation channel 23. With the help of the airflow from the opening of the ventilation channel 23, a negative pressure zone is formed at the gap 41.
[0061] In some embodiments, a decorative cover 1 is fixedly provided on the outside of the sensor box 2. The surface of the decorative cover 1 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes for connecting the external environment and the surface of the sensor box 2.
[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, due to the structural limitations of the sensor component 3, the air inlet channel 21, the ventilation channel 23, and the air outlet channel 22 have different opening positions and cross-sectional areas, which reduces their aesthetics. Therefore, by adding a decorative cover 1 and setting regularly arranged and uniformly sized connecting holes on the decorative cover 1, the air inlet channel 21, the air outlet channel 22, and the ventilation channel 23 can be connected, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the module.
[0063] In addition to the air quality detection modules disclosed in the above embodiments, this utility model also provides an air purifier that includes the above-described air quality detection modules.
[0064] In some embodiments, it also includes a relatively fixed outer casing, an air inlet base plate 5, and an impeller casing 6;
[0065] A first negative pressure chamber is formed inside the impeller housing 6, and a second negative pressure chamber is formed in the area enclosed by the outer wall of the impeller housing 6, the air inlet base plate 5, and the outer shell.
[0066] A negative pressure channel 51 is provided between the first negative pressure chamber and the second negative pressure chamber for communication, and a notch 41 connects the second negative pressure chamber and the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3.
[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, the impeller housing 6 is installed inside the outer shell, and the closed area of the air inlet base plate 5 blocks the bottom of the outer shell. The ventilation area of the air inlet base plate 5 shields the bottom of the impeller housing 6. The impeller is installed inside the impeller housing 6. When the impeller rotates, it can drive the external airflow through the filter screen and filter element below the air inlet base plate 5 and then enter the impeller housing 6 through the ventilation area of the air inlet base plate 5.
[0068] At this time, a negative pressure channel 51 is set between the first negative pressure chamber inside the impeller housing 6 and the second negative pressure chamber outside the impeller housing 6. This allows the gas in the second negative pressure chamber to enter the first negative pressure chamber through the negative pressure channel 51, thereby making the second negative pressure chamber also negative. The second negative pressure chamber is the negative pressure area that is connected to the air outlet of the sensor assembly 3. By setting the negative pressure channel 51 and designing the structure of the negative pressure channel 51, the airflow that directly enters the inner cavity of the impeller housing 6 without being filtered by the filter screen or filter element can be reduced.
[0069] In some embodiments, the inner walls of different sides of the negative pressure channel 51 are provided with a number of protrusions 52, which are used to change the airflow direction and velocity in the negative pressure channel 51.
[0070] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the negative pressure channel 51 is transversely arranged on the air inlet bottom plate 5, and functions to guide the air in and out of the impeller shell 6, and irregular protrusions 52 are arranged on the inner wall of the negative pressure channel 51, such as protrusions 52 arranged on the inner walls of different sides respectively, which affect the flow direction of the air in the negative pressure channel 51, increase the flow resistance, and further reduce the air passing amount.
[0071] The various embodiments are described in a progressive manner in the specification, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts between various embodiments can be referred to each other.
[0072] The air quality detection module and the air purifier provided by the utility model are introduced in detail. The principle and implementation mode of the utility model are described by applying specific examples in this paper. The above embodiment is only used to help understand the method and core idea of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, the utility model can be improved and modified without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the utility model claim.
