Intelligent ventilation and odor control system for senior living apartments

Abstract

This utility model discloses an intelligent indoor ventilation and odor control device for senior living apartments, relating to the technical field of indoor ventilation. This utility model ensures a stable connection between the plug and connector by precisely aligning the positioning rod with the positioning hole, and using positioning blocks to prevent misalignment, thus avoiding damage to components during circuit connection. Simultaneously, multiple sets of positioning blocks and springs work in conjunction with the second support plate and positioning rod to ensure the fixation of the two sets of steel ropes. This ensures that if the outdoor unit accidentally falls, the steel ropes can smoothly pull and support the outdoor unit, effectively preventing accidents and improving safety during use. Furthermore, because the length of the steel rope between the outdoor unit and the air intake hood is shorter than the corresponding power cord, when the outdoor unit loosens and falls due to vibration, the steel ropes tighten first to prevent falling, while the power cord remains slack and is not damaged by pulling. This ensures the safety of personnel and facilities while maintaining stable ventilation and odor control functions, creating a safe and healthy living environment for senior living apartments.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of indoor ventilation, specifically to an intelligent indoor ventilation and odor control device for senior living apartments. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction of age-friendly living environments, indoor air quality and safety stability in senior living apartments are core elements for ensuring the health of the elderly. The elderly, with limited mobility, have stringent requirements for the safety and comfort of their living environment. Traditional window ventilation is greatly affected by outdoor air quality and weather, and cannot provide continuous purification. Ordinary air purifiers can only circulate and filter indoor air, making it difficult to completely remove pollutants. Intelligent ventilation and odor control devices, with their advantages of efficient air exchange and rapid pollution removal, have become key equipment for optimizing the air environment in senior living apartments. By continuously refreshing indoor air and reducing pollutant concentrations, they promote the upgrading of age-friendly living environments towards health and safety.

[0003] The existing intelligent ventilation and odor control system used in senior living apartments mainly consists of a main unit and an auxiliary unit. The main unit is placed indoors to supply air, while the auxiliary unit is installed on the glass to handle exhaust. Working together, they can quickly remove indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde and odors, and optimize the indoor air to meet occupancy standards within a certain period. The auxiliary unit includes components such as an indoor air intake hood, a connector, and an outdoor unit. During installation, the outer wall is connected to the glass with through holes, and then the connector is used to thread the outdoor unit through the through holes to the indoor end, fixing the outdoor unit to the glass. Finally, the power cord on the air intake hood is connected to the power cord of the outdoor unit, and the air intake hood is then installed to the connector, completing the installation of the entire auxiliary unit. This intelligent ventilation and odor control system used in senior living apartments can be installed before or after renovation, is easy to operate, and can quickly meet the needs of senior living apartments to improve indoor air quality. It can be put into use without complicated construction.

[0004] The existing indoor intelligent ventilation and odor control devices used in senior living apartments have significant safety deficiencies. Because the auxiliary unit is directly fixed to the glass via connectors, if the senior living apartment is near the roadside, passing vehicles will cause slight vibrations in the building and windows. Long-term continuous vibration will gradually wear down and weaken the connection structure between the outdoor unit and the glass, leading to loosening of the connection. If not repaired in time, with the accumulation of vibration, the outdoor unit may even fall off the glass. Senior living apartments are mostly multi-story or high-rise buildings, and the outdoor unit falling from a height will not only damage the facilities below, but may also injure elderly people or staff passing by, directly threatening the safety of people. Therefore, improvements are urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent ventilation and odor control device for elderly care apartments, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent ventilation and odor treatment device for an indoor senior living apartment, comprising an outdoor unit and an air intake hood, wherein the outdoor unit and the air intake hood are respectively provided with an outdoor unit power cord and a power supply cord, and the ends of the outdoor unit power cord and the power supply cord are respectively equipped with plugs and connectors. The outer walls of the connector and plug are respectively equipped with a first support plate and a second support plate, and the outer wall of the first support plate is equipped with a positioning rod that is slidably connected to the second support plate. The outer wall of the positioning rod is equipped with a positioning block that is in contact with the outer wall of the second support plate, which is used to fix the positioning rod in the position after it is installed on the second support plate. Both the outdoor unit and the air intake hood are equipped with steel ropes that are respectively connected to the corresponding first support plate and second support plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, we can ensure that the plug and connector are accurately aligned, avoiding damage caused by misalignment of the circuit connection; the steel ropes inside the outdoor unit and the air intake cover provide fall protection, solving the safety hazard of the outdoor unit falling off due to vibration, taking into account both circuit safety and personnel and facility safety, and making it suitable for the elderly care apartment scenario.

[0008] Furthermore, the outdoor unit is equipped with a fan mounting bracket for installing steel ropes, and the air intake hood is equipped with metal heat sinks for installing steel ropes. The ends of the two sets of steel ropes are respectively rotatably connected to the outer walls of the corresponding first support plate and second support plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the steel rope is rotatably connected to the support plate, and the adapter components sway slightly, avoiding rigid breakage of the steel rope and improving the durability of the fall arrest structure.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple sets of positioning rods are installed at equal angles on the first support plate, and all sets of positioning rods are slidably connected to the second support plate, and the second support plate is provided with positioning holes corresponding to the positioning rods.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the mating accuracy of the plug and connector is greatly improved, preventing circuit connection failures caused by the misalignment of a single set of positioning rods; at the same time, multiple sets of positioning rods are subjected to force simultaneously, enhancing the connection stability of the support plate and further ensuring the safety of circuit mating.

[0012] Furthermore, positioning blocks are slidably installed on the outer walls of multiple sets of positioning rods, and the lengths of the positioning blocks and positioning rods are both greater than the thickness of the second support plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the positioning block has sufficient length, so that the positioning block has sufficient strength to support the work.

[0014] Furthermore, the lengths of both the positioning block and the positioning rod are greater than the length of the portion of the plug inserted into the connector, in order to ensure that the positioning rod must be inserted into the positioning hole before the plug can be inserted into the connector.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the circuit is positioned before being connected, which avoids damage to the plug due to misalignment and collision, reduces circuit maintenance costs, and ensures the continuous and stable operation of the equipment in the elderly care apartment.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer ends of the positioning blocks are all located outside the positioning rods, and multiple sets of springs connected to the inner wall of the positioning blocks are installed at equal intervals on the inner ends of the positioning blocks. The side corner of the positioning block away from the first support plate is designed with an angle.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning block is designed with an angled angle so that it automatically retracts when inserted, simplifying the installation operation; the spring provides continuous elasticity to allow the positioning block to return to its original position and fit against the support plate, eliminating the need for additional fixing steps, making it suitable for elderly people or non-professionals to install, and improving ease of use.

[0018] Furthermore, the length of the steel rope connected to the fan mounting bracket is less than the length of the outdoor unit's power cord, and the length of the steel rope connected to the metal heat sink is less than the length of the power supply line, in order to prevent damage to the outdoor unit's power cord and power supply line from being pulled when the outdoor unit falls.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the steel rope is tightened and pulled first when the outdoor unit falls, while the power cord remains slack and is not pulled or damaged; this not only prevents the outdoor unit from falling and injuring people or damaging property, but also avoids circuit breakage and malfunctions, thus balancing safety protection and functional stability.

[0020] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: This invention uses a positioning rod and positioning hole for precise alignment, along with positioning blocks to prevent misalignment, ensuring a stable connection between the plug and connector and preventing damage to components during circuit connection. Simultaneously, multiple positioning blocks and springs work in conjunction with the second support plate and positioning rod to ensure the stability of the two sets of steel ropes. This ensures that if the outdoor unit accidentally falls, the steel ropes can smoothly pull and support the unit, effectively preventing accidents and improving safety during use. Furthermore, because the length of the steel rope between the outdoor unit and the air intake hood is shorter than the corresponding power cord, when the outdoor unit loosens and falls due to vibration, the steel ropes tighten first to prevent a fall, while the power cord remains slack and is not damaged. This ensures the safety of personnel and facilities while maintaining stable ventilation and odor control functions, creating a safe and healthy living environment for senior living apartments.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0025] Intelligent ventilation and odor control systems for senior living apartments, such as Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, it includes components such as outdoor unit 1, air intake hood 2, fan mounting bracket 3, outdoor unit power cord 4, power supply cord 5, first support plate 6, second support plate 7, positioning rod 8, positioning block 10, steel rope 12, and metal heat sink 13; Among them, the outdoor unit 1 is the core exhaust component of the device, which is used to expel indoor odorous air to the outside and realize ventilation; the air intake hood 2 is the indoor air intake end, which is used to collect indoor air and guide it to the outdoor unit 1. The two work together to form a complete ventilation link, which can quickly reduce the concentration of indoor pollutants in the elderly apartment and meet the needs of the elderly for a healthy living environment. Meanwhile, an outdoor unit power cord 4 and a power supply cord 5 are respectively installed in the outdoor unit 1 and the air intake hood 2. The outdoor unit power cord 4 is used to supply power to the outdoor unit 1. A plug 41 and a connector 51 are respectively installed at the ends of the outdoor unit power cord 4 and the air intake hood 2. The plug 41 and the connector 51 are plugged in and matched to realize the circuit connection between the outdoor unit 1 and the air intake hood 2, ensuring that the two work together.

[0026] For example, a first support plate 6 and a second support plate 7 are respectively installed on the outer walls of the connector 51 and the plug 41. The two provide structural support for the circuit connection and prevent the plug 41 and the connector 51 from becoming loose due to external pulling. Meanwhile, a positioning rod 8 is installed on the outer wall of the first support plate 6. The positioning rod 8 is slidably connected to the second support plate 7 and is used to accurately position the mating position of the plug 41 and the connector 51. A positioning block 10 is installed on the outer wall of the positioning rod 8. The positioning block 10 is attached to the outer wall of the second support plate 7 and is used to fix the position of the positioning rod 8 after it is installed on the second support plate 7, to prevent the positioning rod 8 from accidentally coming off, and to further ensure the stability of the circuit connection. At the same time, it ensures the stability of the connection between the two sets of steel ropes 12 when the steel rope 12 is under stress.

[0027] In this embodiment, steel ropes 12 are installed inside both the outdoor unit 1 and the air intake hood 2. The two sets of steel ropes 12 are respectively connected to the corresponding first support plate 6 and second support plate 7. The steel ropes 12 provide additional traction protection for the outdoor unit 1 and the air intake hood 2, preventing the outdoor unit 1 from falling off due to long-term vibration and ensuring the safety of the elderly care apartment staff.

[0028] In this embodiment, a fan mounting bracket 3 is installed on the outdoor unit 1. The fan mounting bracket 3 is used to install the steel rope 12 and provides a stable fixed end for the steel rope 12. A metal heat sink 13 is installed inside the air intake hood 2. The metal heat sink 13 is used to install the steel rope 12 and can also assist in the heat dissipation of electronic components inside the air intake hood 2 to prevent the components from being damaged due to high temperature. The ends of the two sets of steel ropes 12 are respectively rotatably connected to the outer walls of the corresponding first support plate 6 and second support plate 7. The rotatable connection design can adapt to the slight shaking of the outdoor unit 1 and the air intake hood 2 and prevent the steel rope 12 from breaking due to rigid connection.

[0029] For example, multiple sets of positioning rods 8 are installed at equal angles on the first support plate 6. All sets of positioning rods 8 are slidably connected to the second support plate 7. At the same time, positioning holes 9 corresponding to the positioning rods 8 are opened through the second support plate 7. The cooperation between the multiple sets of positioning rods 8 and the positioning holes 9 can further improve the docking accuracy and prevent the plug 41 and the connector 51 from being misaligned. Meanwhile, positioning blocks 10 are slidably installed on the outer walls of multiple sets of positioning rods 8, and the lengths of positioning blocks 10 and positioning rods 8 are greater than the thickness of the second support plate 7, ensuring that the positioning blocks 10 have sufficient supporting force to resist subsequent pulling force, thereby achieving the fixation of the connection between the first support plate 6 and the second support plate 7. Furthermore, the lengths of both the positioning block 10 and the positioning rod 8 are greater than the length of the portion of the plug 41 inserted into the connector 51. This design mandates that the positioning rod 8 must be inserted into the positioning hole 9 before the plug 41 can be inserted into the connector 51, thus preventing damage to the end of the plug 41 due to misalignment and collision, and reducing the risk of circuit connection failure.

[0030] In this embodiment, the outer ends of the positioning blocks 10 are all located on the outside of the positioning rods 8, which facilitates contact with the outer wall of the second support plate 7 to achieve fixation; Meanwhile, multiple sets of springs 11 are installed at equal intervals on the inner end of the positioning block 10. All sets of springs 11 are connected to the inner wall of the positioning rod 8 to provide outward elastic force to the positioning block 10, ensuring that the positioning block 10 can smoothly slide outward to a state of contact with the outer wall of the second support plate 7 after passing through the positioning hole 9 opened on the second support plate 7. Furthermore, the corner of the positioning block 10 away from the first support plate 6 is designed at an angle. The inclined guide effect allows the positioning block 10 to automatically retract inward when the positioning rod 8 is inserted into the positioning hole 9, avoiding interference with the second support plate 7, simplifying the installation operation, and eliminating the need for additional adjustments by the elderly or installers.

[0031] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the length of the steel rope 12 connected to the fan mounting bracket 3 is less than the length of the outdoor unit power cord 4, and the length of the steel rope 12 connected to the metal heat sink 13 is less than the length of the power supply line 5. This design ensures that if the outdoor unit 1 falls due to vibration, the steel rope 12 will be taut first, providing traction support for the outdoor unit 1 and preventing it from falling directly and injuring people or damaging facilities. Meanwhile, the outdoor unit power cord 4 and power supply line 5 remain slack, avoiding breakage due to pulling. This design ensures safety, reduces circuit maintenance costs, and fully meets the safety and stability requirements of senior living apartments.

[0032] Through the coordinated operation of the above components, during installation, the plug 41 and the connector 51 are safely connected by the precise docking of the positioning rod 8 and the positioning hole 9. During operation, the outdoor unit 1 and the air intake hood 2 work together to ventilate and remove odors, and the metal heat sink 13 assists in heat dissipation. In long-term use, the steel rope 12 provides fall protection. The entire device takes into account ventilation efficiency, ease of installation and safety protection, truly meeting the age-friendly needs of senior living apartments.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During the installation of the air intake hood 2, the circuit connection between the outdoor unit 1 and the air intake hood 2 is first performed to ensure accurate and safe connection; the elderly or installers first align the multiple sets of positioning rods 8 on the first support plate 6 with the positioning holes 9 on the second support plate 7 and slowly insert them. Because the corner of the positioning block 10 away from the first support plate 6 is designed at an angle, the angle of the positioning block 10 will be squeezed by the second support plate 7 during the insertion process, sliding towards the inside of the positioning rod 8 and compressing the spring 11; after the positioning rod 8 has completely passed through the positioning hole 9, the spring 11 releases its elastic potential energy, pushes the positioning block 10 to reset, and the outer wall of the positioning block 10 is attached to the side of the second support plate 7 away from the first support plate 6, thus completing the fixation of the positioning rod 8 and the positioning hole 9; At this time, the plug 41 of the outdoor unit power cord 4 and the connector 51 of the power supply cord 5 are also connected and can be smoothly inserted to achieve circuit connection. Since the lengths of the positioning rod 8 and the positioning block 10 are both greater than the length of the plug 41 inserted into the connector 51, misalignment can be effectively avoided when the plug 41 and the connector 51 are connected, preventing damage to the end of the plug 41 and ensuring the safety of the circuit connection. When the device is running, the outdoor unit 1 works, and the air intake hood 2 uses metal heat sink 13 to help dissipate heat from the electronic components inside the air intake hood 2. The two work together to draw out indoor air and discharge it to the outside, thus completing intelligent ventilation and odor treatment. If prolonged vibration causes the connection between the outdoor unit 1 and the glass to loosen or even fall off, the steel cable 12 will be the first to be taut, providing traction support for the outdoor unit 1 and preventing it from falling directly; while the outdoor unit power cord 4 and power supply line 5 remain slack to avoid damage due to pulling. This ensures the safety of personnel and facilities and reduces the risk of circuit failure, meeting the stringent safety and stability requirements of senior living apartments.
