[0043] like Figures 1-13 As shown, to address the problem that existing air conditioners lack sterilization and odor removal functions, this invention provides a photocatalytic sterilization module 1 for installation in an air conditioner 100 to sterilize the air conditioner 100. The air conditioner 100 has a circular air inlet 2. The photocatalytic sterilization module 1 includes a housing 10, a sterilization component 20, a light-emitting component 30, and a catalyst component 40. The housing 10 is shaped to fit the circular air inlet 2. The sterilization component 20 is disposed on the outside of the housing 10 to eliminate bacteria on the outside of the housing 10. The light-emitting component 30 and the catalyst component 40 are both disposed inside the housing 10, with the light-emitting component 30 facing the catalyst component 40 to irradiate the catalyst component 40 for further sterilization and odor elimination.
[0044] With the above technical solution adopted, the photocatalytic sterilization module 1 of this utility model includes a housing 10, a sterilization component 20, a light-emitting component 30, and a catalyst component 40. The housing 10 is shaped to fit the circular air inlet 2, which is particularly suitable for ceiling-mounted or embedded machines. The sterilization component 20 can eliminate bacteria on the outside of the housing 10 to achieve sterilization. The light-emitting component 30 irradiates the catalyst component 40 to activate it, thereby achieving further sterilization and removal of odors in the environment, thus meeting user needs.
[0045] likeFigures 1-3 As shown, in one possible implementation, the housing 10 includes two semi-annular housings 11. A sterilization element 20 is disposed on the inner wall of each semi-annular housing 11. Specifically, the number of sterilization elements 20 can be two evenly distributed, with four sterilization elements 20 focusing on the central irradiation, so that the circular area between the two semi-annular housings 11 can be effectively irradiated by all four sterilization elements 20, allowing all passing air to be sterilized. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of sterilization elements 20 can also be one, three, four, or other numbers, depending on the sterilization effect. The top of each semi-annular housing 11 is hollowed out 12 and has a downward-facing air guide plate 13, resulting in lower wind resistance and a loss of less than 3% in overall airflow, which hardly affects the airflow of the air conditioner 100. From the perspective of the air conditioner 100, after adding this photocatalytic sterilization module 1, there is almost no loss in cooling and heating, which can be ignored, resulting in greater energy savings. A light-emitting element 30 and a catalyst element 40 are sequentially disposed at the bottom of each semi-annular housing 11.
[0046] As one possible implementation, the sterilizing element 20 is further defined as a first ultraviolet germicidal lamp. The light-emitting element 30 includes a semi-annular lamp plate 31 and a second ultraviolet germicidal lamp 32. The second ultraviolet germicidal lamp 32 is disposed on the semi-annular lamp plate 31, and the number of second ultraviolet germicidal lamps 32 can be multiple, for example... Figure 2 The number of the eight in the original text is, of course, in other embodiments, the number of the second ultraviolet germicidal lamps 32 may be four, five, six, seven, or other quantities. The catalyst element 40 is a catalyst mesh, which includes: a mesh material and a catalyst attached thereto. The mesh material is generally a nickel mesh, but is not limited to this. The catalyst is generally a titanium dioxide catalyst, but is not limited to this; the catalyst can also be an aluminum substrate or a honeycomb ceramic substrate plus a photocatalyst.
[0047] Ultraviolet (UV) light has bactericidal and disinfecting properties. Based on wavelength, UV light is divided into three categories: short-wave (190nm–280nm), medium-wave (280nm–320nm), and long-wave (320nm–400nm). Short-wave UV light has the highest energy; it has been confirmed that UV light in the 265nm band, also known as the C-band or deep ultraviolet band, has the strongest bactericidal effect. The A-band (320nm–400nm) provides the best catalytic excitation effect. In practical implementation, the first UV germicidal lamp can be a deep ultraviolet (UVC) LED lamp with a wavelength of 265nm, used for air sterilization. The second ultraviolet germicidal lamp 32 can be a UVA LED lamp. By combining the UVA LED lamp with a catalyst, the UVA LED light excites the catalyst, causing it to undergo a photocatalytic reaction similar to photosynthesis. This produces highly oxidizing free hydroxyl radicals and reactive oxygen species, exhibiting strong photo-oxidation and reduction capabilities. This allows it to oxidize and decompose various organic compounds and some inorganic substances, destroying bacterial cell membranes and solidifying viral proteins. It can kill bacteria and decompose organic pollutants into harmless water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2), thus possessing strong sterilization, disinfection, deodorization, mildew prevention, stain prevention, self-cleaning, and air purification functions, achieving the effects of sterilizing, disinfecting, and deodorizing the air. In practical implementation, the entire photocatalytic sterilization module 1 can be built into an air conditioner 100, a fresh air system, or an air purifier to avoid direct visual exposure to ultraviolet light.
[0048] like Figures 4-6 As shown, as one possible implementation, it is related to Figures 1-3 The difference between the embodiments shown is: Figures 4-6 The housing 10 in the illustrated embodiment is an annular housing 14. A sterilization element 20 is disposed on the inner wall of the annular housing 14. The number of sterilization elements 20 can be two, meaning both elements focus on the central irradiation, ensuring that the entire central circular area is effectively irradiated by both elements, allowing all air to be sterilized. Of course, the number of sterilization elements 20 can also be different, depending on the sterilization effect. The top of the annular housing 14 has a perforation 12. This perforation reduces wind resistance, resulting in less than 3% loss of overall airflow, which has almost no impact on the airflow of the air conditioner 100. From the perspective of the air conditioner 100, adding this photocatalytic sterilization module 1 results in almost no loss in cooling or heating, which is negligible, leading to greater energy savings. The light-emitting element 30 is disposed near the inner wall of the annular housing 14, and the catalyst element 40 is disposed near the outer wall of the annular housing 14.
[0049] As one possible implementation, the sterilization element 20 is further defined as a first ultraviolet germicidal lamp, such as a UVC LED lamp. The light-emitting element 30 includes a ring-shaped lamp plate 33 and a second ultraviolet germicidal lamp 32. The second ultraviolet germicidal lamp 32 can be a UVA LED lamp, and the number of second ultraviolet germicidal lamps 32 can be multiple, for example, 14, 13, or 12 UVA LED lamps, etc. The first ultraviolet germicidal lamp and the second ultraviolet germicidal lamp 32 are both disposed on the ring-shaped lamp plate 33 and arranged back to back. The catalyst element 40 is a catalyst mesh, which includes a mesh material and a catalyst attached thereto. The mesh material is generally a nickel mesh, but is not limited to this. The catalyst is generally a titanium dioxide catalyst, but is not limited to this; the catalyst can also be an aluminum substrate or a honeycomb ceramic substrate plus a photocatalyst.
[0050] like Figures 7-10 As shown, as one possible implementation, it is related to Figures 1-3 The difference between the embodiments shown is that, Figures 7-10 The photocatalytic sterilization module 1 shown has a fan-shaped housing 10. The fan-shaped housing includes an upper fan-shaped housing 15 and a lower fan-shaped housing 16, which can be connected by screws. The upper fan-shaped housing 15 has a perforation 12. Sterilization elements 20 are disposed on the side walls of the lower fan-shaped housing 16; the number of sterilization elements 20 can be two, or other numbers. A light-emitting element 30 is disposed between the upper fan-shaped housing 15 and the lower fan-shaped housing 16. A catalyst element 40 is disposed on the lower fan-shaped housing 16. The catalyst element 40 can completely cover the surface of the lower fan-shaped housing 16, or it can partially cover the surface of the lower fan-shaped housing 16.
[0051] As one possible implementation, the sterilization component 20 further includes a lamp panel (not shown in the figure) and a first ultraviolet germicidal lamp, which can be a UVC LED lamp. The light-emitting component 30 includes a fan-shaped lamp panel 34 and a second ultraviolet germicidal lamp 32 (not shown in the figure), the second ultraviolet germicidal lamp 32 being disposed on the fan-shaped lamp panel 34, and the second ultraviolet germicidal lamp 32 can be a UVA LED lamp, and there are multiple such lamps. The catalyst component 40 is a catalyst mesh, which includes a mesh material and a catalyst attached thereto. The mesh material is generally a nickel mesh, but is not limited to this. The catalyst is generally a titanium dioxide catalyst, but is not limited to this; the catalyst can also be an aluminum substrate or a honeycomb ceramic substrate plus a photocatalyst. This embodiment focuses more on odor removal, with relatively more UVA LED lamps and a relatively larger catalyst area, which can activate more oxidizing active substances, resulting in better odor removal effect.
[0052] like Figures 10-13 As shown, as one possible implementation, it is related to Figures 1-3 The difference between the embodiments shown is that, Figures 10-13The photocatalytic sterilization module 1 shown has a housing 10 that is an arc-shaped housing 17. Sterilization components 20 are disposed on the side walls of the arc-shaped housing 17. The number of sterilization components 20 can be two, or other numbers. The top of the arc-shaped housing 17 has a cutout 12. Light-emitting components 30 and catalyst components 40 are disposed on the side walls of the arc-shaped housing 17.
[0053] As one possible implementation, the sterilization element 20 is further defined as a first ultraviolet germicidal lamp, which can be a UVC LED lamp. Two UVC LED lamps are used, with a 60° beam angle, to concentrate on irradiating the incoming air. This ensures that the long-distance irradiance reaches the sterilization intensity while also increasing the beam angle to irradiate as much of the circular air inlet 2 as possible. The light-emitting element 30 includes an arc-shaped lamp plate 35 and a second ultraviolet germicidal lamp 32. Both the first and second ultraviolet germicidal lamps 32 are mounted on the arc-shaped lamp plate 35 and arranged back-to-back. The second ultraviolet germicidal lamp 32 can be a UVA LED lamp, and there are multiple of them. The catalyst element 40 is an arc-shaped catalyst mesh, which includes a mesh material and a catalyst attached to it. The mesh material is generally a nickel mesh, but not limited to this. The catalyst is generally a titanium dioxide catalyst, but not limited to this; the catalyst can also be an aluminum substrate or a honeycomb ceramic substrate plus a photocatalyst.
[0054] like Figures 10-13 The photocatalytic sterilization module 1 shown has the advantages of more convenient installation and lower cost due to the above structure.
[0055] See Figures 1-13 As shown, this utility model also provides an air conditioner 100, which has a circular air inlet 2. The air conditioner 100 also includes a photocatalytic sterilization module 1 as described in the above embodiment, which is installed at the circular air inlet 2.
[0056] With the above technical solution adopted, the air conditioner 100 of this utility model includes a photocatalytic sterilization module 1. The photocatalytic sterilization module 1 includes a housing 10, a sterilization component 20, a light-emitting component 30, and a catalyst component 40. The housing 10 is shaped to fit the circular air inlet 2, which is particularly suitable for ceiling-mounted or embedded air conditioners. The sterilization component 20 can eliminate bacteria on the outside of the housing 10 to achieve sterilization. The light-emitting component 30 irradiates the catalyst component 40 to activate it, thereby achieving further sterilization and removal of odors in the environment, thus meeting user needs.
[0057] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
