[0002] With the intensification of the greenhouse effect and the continuous growth in demand for carbon capture, carbon dioxide extraction technology is being used more and more widely in fields such as industrial exhaust gas treatment, air purification in confined spaces, and monitoring of small-scale fermentation processes. These applications place higher demands on the efficiency, reliability, and ease of operation of carbon dioxide extraction devices.
[0003] However, traditional carbon dioxide adsorption devices mostly adopt a fixed bed design, and the airflow path of the conventional filled bed is single, resulting in low utilization of adsorption materials and insufficient contact time between gas and adsorbent, which affects the extraction efficiency and effect of carbon dioxide. In addition, traditional devices are not convenient to maintain. The cleaning process is complicated and inconvenient, often requiring disassembly of pipelines or even damage to the sealing structure. This not only increases the difficulty of operation, but may also lead to a decrease in the sealing performance of the device, further affecting the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.
[0017] This utility model discloses a user-friendly carbon dioxide extraction device. The device mainly includes a housing 1, an adsorption assembly 2, a partition 3, a filter assembly 4, a micro fan 5, and a controller 6. The housing 1 has a double-layer heat-insulating structure, with a sealing cover 11 connected to the top via a flange. The interior is divided into two independent chambers by the partition 3: an adsorption chamber and a gas storage chamber. The gas storage chamber is located below the adsorption chamber and has an outlet pipe 17 with a solenoid valve at its bottom for discharging treated gas. A vent pipe 31 with a solenoid valve is installed at the center of the partition 3 to control the gas flow from the adsorption chamber into the gas storage chamber. An exhaust pipe 14 communicating with the adsorption chamber is located on the middle side wall of the housing 1. An solenoid valve is installed on the exhaust pipe 14, which can be opened to discharge impurity gas when necessary. The top side wall of the housing 1 is provided with an air inlet pipe 12, and a flow guide hood 15 is installed at the end of the air inlet pipe 12. A micro fan 5 is embedded in the flow guide hood 15 to guide external gas into the adsorption chamber. The controller 6 is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the micro fan 5 and the solenoid valve to realize automatic control.
[0018] The adsorption assembly 2 is installed inside the adsorption chamber and includes a flow guide tube 21, a spiral guide plate 22, a heat conduction tube 23, a heating element 24, and a reversible chemisorption material. The top of the flow guide tube 21 is sealed to an annular support plate 13 on the inner wall of the housing 1 via a flange, and the bottom is uniformly provided with vent holes. The spiral guide plate 22 is installed on the inner wall of the flow guide tube 21, and the spiral guide plate 22 is sealed to the heat conduction tube 23 to form a spiral flow channel, which is filled with granular reversible chemisorption material. The inner wall of the heat conduction tube 23 is embedded with a heating element 24 and a temperature sensor. The heating element 24 and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to the controller 6 to adjust the working temperature of the adsorption material and monitor the real-time temperature. Through the above design, the flow guide tube 21, the spiral guide plate 22, and the heat conduction tube 23 work together to significantly extend the flow path of the gas in the adsorption chamber and increase the contact time and efficiency between the gas and the adsorption material. In addition, the adsorption assembly 2 is also equipped with a cleaning mechanism 7 for automatically cleaning the filter assembly 4, which can reduce manual intervention and reduce maintenance complexity.
[0019] The filter assembly 4 is installed inside the adsorption chamber and at the bottom of the guide tube 21. It includes a pre-filter 41, an activated carbon filter element 42, and a high-efficiency molecular sieve layer 43. The high-efficiency molecular sieve layer 43 is located above the partition 3 and installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. The activated carbon filter element 42 is installed on top of the sieve layer 43. The pre-filter 41 is installed on top of the activated carbon filter element 42 and forms a cylindrical cavity between it and the bottom of the guide tube 21. The three components work together to filter impurities in the gas step by step, ensuring the purification effect of carbon dioxide. The pre-filter 41 is mainly used to intercept large particulate impurities, the activated carbon filter element 42 can adsorb organic matter and odors in the gas, and the high-efficiency molecular sieve layer 43 further removes small particles and moisture, thereby improving the purity of carbon dioxide gas.
[0020] The cleaning mechanism 7 includes a rotating shaft 71, fan blades 72, and a cleaning brush 73. The top end of the rotating shaft 71 passes through the top of the heat-conducting cylinder 23 and is fixedly connected to the fan blades 72, while the bottom end passes through the bottom of the guide cylinder 21 and is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 73. The bristles on the bottom surface of the cleaning brush 73 contact the surface of the primary filter 41. The bristles are made of conductive-grade polytetrafluoroethylene fiber, which has excellent wear resistance and antistatic properties, preventing impurities from accumulating and affecting gas flow. When the airflow passes through the guide shroud 15, the airflow drives the fan blades 72 to rotate, causing the rotating shaft 71 and the cleaning brush 73 to move synchronously, enabling the cleaning brush 73 to automatically clean the surface of the primary filter 41. This not only reduces the frequency of manual maintenance but also effectively improves the operational stability of the device.
[0021] The air inlet of the hood 15 is equipped with a filter screen 16 for filtering large particulate impurities. The filter screen 16 is made of stainless steel with a mesh diameter ranging from 0.5 mm to 1 mm. It is highly corrosion resistant and can effectively intercept large particulate impurities in the gas, protecting the normal operation of the subsequent adsorption component 2 and the filter component 4.
[0022] Work process:
[0023] In use, the micro fan 5 is first started by the controller 6, and the solenoid valve on the exhaust pipe 14 is opened. The gas containing carbon dioxide is introduced into the flow hood 15 through the intake pipe 12 by the micro fan 5. The filter screen 16 in the flow hood 15 initially intercepts large particulate impurities in the gas to prevent them from clogging subsequent components after entering the adsorption chamber. The gas then enters the guide tube 21 and flows along the spiral guide groove formed by the spiral guide plate 22. The design of the spiral guide plate 22 significantly extends the flow path of the gas in the adsorption chamber and increases the contact time between the gas and the particulate reversible chemical adsorption material. By extending the airflow path, the capture efficiency of the adsorption material for carbon dioxide is effectively improved.
[0024] When gas flows through the adsorption chamber, the fan blades 72 of the cleaning mechanism 7 are driven to rotate by the airflow, which drives the rotating shaft 71 and the cleaning brush 73 to move synchronously. The bristles of the cleaning brush 73 come into contact with the surface of the primary filter 41, and the mechanical energy generated by the airflow is used to automatically clean the surface of the primary filter 41. This process avoids the problem of filter clogging caused by the accumulation of impurities and ensures smooth gas flow. The cleaning brush 73 is made of conductive polytetrafluoroethylene fiber, which not only has good wear resistance, but also effectively releases static electricity to prevent fine particles from adhering to the filter screen, further improving the working stability of the filter assembly 4.
[0025] Once the adsorbent material reaches saturation, controller 6 closes the solenoid valve on exhaust pipe 14 and opens the solenoid valve on vent pipe 31. Then, heating element 24 is activated. Heating element 24, installed on the inner wall of heat-conducting cylinder 23, evenly transfers heat to the adsorbent material, promoting the desorption of carbon dioxide. A temperature sensor monitors the temperature change within the adsorption chamber in real time and feeds the signal back to controller 6. Controller 6 adjusts the working state of heating element 24 according to a preset temperature range to ensure a safe and controllable desorption process. The desorbed carbon dioxide gas is filtered through the filter assembly 4 in stages. The primary filter 41 intercepts residual large particles, the activated carbon filter 42 removes odors and harmful substances, and the high-efficiency molecular sieve layer 43 further purifies the gas. The purified carbon dioxide enters the storage chamber through vent pipe 31 for storage. After carbon dioxide extraction is complete, controller 6 stops heating element 24, allowing the temperature inside the adsorption chamber to gradually decrease, preparing for the next adsorption cycle. The solenoid valve on exhaust pipe 17 can be controlled by controller 6 to release the stored carbon dioxide at set times as needed.
[0026] In summary, this invention, through the synergistic effect of the flow guide tube 21, the spiral flow guide plate 22, and the heat-conducting tube 23, combined with the temperature control function of the granular reversible chemical adsorption material and the heating element 24, extends the flow path of the gas within the adsorption chamber, increasing the contact time and efficiency between the gas and the adsorption material. Simultaneously, the built-in filter assembly 4 achieves multi-stage impurity removal, improving gas purity; the cleaning mechanism 7, driven by airflow, achieves a self-cleaning function, reducing the frequency of manual maintenance, lowering operational complexity, and ensuring long-term stable operation of the device.
