Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ion purification device technology, and specifically to a connection structure for modular expansion of ion purification devices. Background Technology

[0002] Ion air purification equipment primarily treats pollutants through adsorption modules composed of hundreds of membrane electrodes. However, in large public spaces (such as airport waiting halls, hospital emergency rooms, and large shopping malls), the air purification load increases significantly due to high pedestrian traffic and high concentrations of air pollutants. Existing ion air purification equipment, with its fixed number of membranes and limited air volume processed per cycle, suffers from insufficient purification efficiency and cannot meet real-time air quality standards. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a modular and expandable connection structure to allow ion purification devices to adapt to different usage scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0036] With the improvement of my country's economic development level, air pollution has become an important factor threatening people's health in public buildings, homes and other places. Therefore, it is crucial to effectively eliminate suspended particulate matter and microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria or fungi in the air and purify the air. Researching technologies and equipment with excellent air purification and disinfection functions is of great significance.

[0037] Ion purification equipment, also known as air cleaners, air fresheners, or purifiers, refers to products that can adsorb, decompose, or transform various air pollutants, such as PM2.5, dust, pollen, odors, formaldehyde and other decoration pollution, bacteria, allergens, etc., increasing air circulation and effectively improving air cleanliness. Widely used in daily life, these products employ technologies such as adsorption, plasma, catalysis, photocatalysis, superstructure photomineralization, HEPA high-efficiency filtration, and electrostatic dust collection. Plasma air purifiers, particularly those using plasma technology, work by generating a large number of energetic electrons under an applied electric field, which bombard pollutant molecules, causing ionization, dissociation, and excitation. This triggers a series of complex physical and chemical reactions, transforming complex macromolecular pollutants into simple, safe small molecules, or converting toxic and harmful substances into non-toxic or low-toxic substances, thus degrading and removing pollutants. They offer advantages such as wide applicability, fast purification speed, and more comprehensive purification effects.

[0038] Ion air purification equipment primarily treats pollutants through adsorption modules composed of hundreds of membrane electrodes. However, in large public spaces (such as airport waiting halls, hospital emergency rooms, and large shopping malls), the air purification load increases significantly due to high pedestrian traffic and high concentrations of air pollutants. Existing ion air purification equipment, with its fixed number of membranes and limited air volume processed per cycle, suffers from insufficient purification efficiency and cannot meet real-time air quality standards. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a modular and expandable connection structure to allow ion purification devices to adapt to different usage scenarios.

[0039] To address the technical challenge of providing a modular expansion connection structure that enables ion purification devices to adapt to different application scenarios, this application provides a modular expansion connection structure for ion purification devices. The corner pieces 1, used to connect the functional modules of the ion purification device, can be sequentially spliced ​​together via connector 3. This allows for the expansion of multiple functional modules of the ion purification device based on the original adsorption module, thereby achieving the technical effect of enabling the ion purification device to adapt to different application scenarios.

[0040] like Figure 1-2 As shown, Figure 1 and Figure 2The present application provides a schematic diagram and exploded view of a connection structure for modular expansion of an ion purification device. This connection structure includes a corner component 1, a conductive component 2, and a connector 3. The corner component 1 connects the functional modules of the ion purification device. The side wall of the corner component 1 has a snap-fit ​​hole 4, and the conductive component 2 is disposed within the snap-fit ​​hole 4 for electrical connection with the functional modules of the ion purification device. When expansion of the ion purification device is required, the functional modules of the ion purification device are installed on the corner component 1 as needed, and multiple sets of corner components 1 are sequentially connected via the connector 3, thereby enabling the ion purification device to adapt to different usage scenarios. During this process, the ends of the connector 3 snap into the snap-fit ​​holes 4 on the two corner components 1 respectively, and make contact with the conductive component 2 within the snap-fit ​​hole 4, thereby providing power to the functional modules of the ion purification device installed on the corner component 1.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the end of the connector 3 is provided with an expansion part 5. When the end of the connector 3 is placed in the snap-fit ​​hole 4, the connector 3 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​hole 4 through the expansion part 5, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the connector 3 and the corner piece 1.

[0042] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the expansion part 5 includes a spring piece 6, which has an arc-shaped structure. The spring piece 6 is disposed on the side wall of the connector 3 and protrudes in a direction away from the connector 3. When the end of the connector 3 extends into the snap-fit ​​hole 4, the side wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 4 abuts against the spring piece 6, causing the spring piece 6 to undergo elastic deformation. When the end of the connector 3 is placed in the snap-fit ​​hole 4, the spring piece 6 always abuts against the side wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 4 under its own elastic force, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the connector 3 and the corner piece 1.

[0043] Based on the above embodiments, this application also provides another optional embodiment. In this embodiment, the side wall of the connector 3 is provided with multiple sets of spring pieces 6. The multiple sets of spring pieces 6 are arranged in a circular array with the connector 3 as the center. When the end of the connector 3 is placed in the snap-fit ​​hole 4, the multiple sets of spring pieces 6 simultaneously abut against the side wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 4, which further increases the stability of the connection between the connector 3 and the corner piece 1.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the conductive component 2 has a cylindrical structure and is disposed on the inner surface of the snap-fit ​​hole 4. When the connector 3 is placed in the snap-fit ​​hole 4, the connector 3 is placed in the center of the conductive component 2. The connector 3 contacts the conductive component 2 through the expansion part 5, so that when the connector 3 is placed in the snap-fit ​​hole 4, it is not necessary to precisely control the distance of the connector 3 end extending into the snap-fit ​​hole 4, which can ensure the electrical connection between the connector 3 and the conductive component 2, reducing the installation difficulty between the connector 3 and the corner component 1.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connector 3 is also provided with a baffle 7. When the end of the connector 3 is placed in the snap-fit ​​hole 4, the baffle 7 contacts the side wall of the corner piece 1. The baffle 7 restricts the depth of the end of the connector 3 into the snap-fit, further reducing the installation difficulty between the connector 3 and the corner piece 1.

[0046] In some embodiments, the corner member 1 is further provided with a receiving groove 8 for accommodating the baffle 7. The receiving groove 8 is located at the opening of the snap-fit ​​hole 4. Accommodating the baffle 7 through the receiving groove 8 can effectively reduce the distance between the two corner members 1.

[0047] In some embodiments, the connector 3 is made of copper. The copper material has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, which can effectively reduce connection resistance and improve current transmission efficiency. At the same time, it has good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, which improves the stability and service life of the connector 3 in various environments, and further ensures the reliability and safety of the overall system.

[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the corner component 1 is integrally injection molded, which can effectively improve structural strength and integrity, enhance dimensional accuracy and sealing performance, optimize appearance quality, reduce manufacturing and maintenance costs, and significantly enhance the durability and application reliability of the corner component 1.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the conductive component 2 is made of copper. The use of copper in the conductive component 2 can significantly reduce contact resistance and improve current transmission efficiency. At the same time, it has excellent thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance, ensuring the stability and reliability of the conductive component 2 in long-term operation and complex environments, and further improving the performance and service life of the overall system.

[0050] It should be noted that this application is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The above embodiments are merely examples, and any embodiments with the same structure and effect as the technical concept within the scope of this application are included in the technical scope of this application. Furthermore, various modifications that can be conceived by those skilled in the art to the embodiments, and other ways of constructing by combining some of the constituent elements of the embodiments, without departing from the spirit of this application, are also included in the scope of this application.
