Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a device control circuit connected to an indoor air purification system, and more particularly to a control circuit of a gas detection module control device.
Background Art
[0002] Suspended particulate matter refers to solid particles or droplets contained in gas. Since the particle size is very small, it can easily penetrate into the human lungs through the nasal hairs in the nasal cavity, which may cause lung inflammation, asthma, and cardiovascular diseases. When other pollutants adhere to the suspended particles, the damage to the lungs will be even greater. In recent years, the problem of gas (air) pollution has become increasingly serious. In particular, the concentration data of tiny suspended particulate matter (such as PM2.5, etc.) is often too high, and the monitoring of the gas suspended particulate matter concentration has gradually attracted attention. However, since the gas changes due to the wind direction and wind volume, the flowing direction is unstable, and most of the existing gas quality monitoring stations for detecting suspended particulate matter are point observations, and it is impossible to observe the concentration of suspended particulate matter in the general living environment.
[0003] In addition, people's requirements for the air quality of the living environment are increasing. Among them, gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), PM2.5, nitrogen monoxide, sulfur monoxide, and the fine particles contained in the gas, etc., affect human health, and in serious cases, may endanger life. Therefore, the air quality in the living environment has attracted the attention of various countries, and how to detect the air quality has become an issue in order to avoid air pollution or stay away from air pollution areas.
[0004] In order to confirm the air quality, it is conceivable to use a gas sensor to detect the surrounding air pollution. If the detection information is provided in real time, a warning can be issued to the surrounding people, and prevention can be carried out immediately. Using a gas sensor to detect the surrounding environment is a very excellent means to avoid the impact and damage on the human body caused by the risk of air pollution in the environment.
[0005] However, indoor air quality control is not easy. In addition to outdoor air quality, indoor air conditioning conditions and pollution sources are the main factors affecting indoor air quality. Indoors, detecting air pollution sources intelligently and quickly can not only effectively remove indoor air pollution and form a clean and safe air state, but also monitor indoor air quality anytime and anywhere. Of course, if the indoor area strictly manages the concentration of suspended particles according to the Clean Room standard, especially avoids the introduction, generation, and retention of particles, and endeavors to control the temperature and humidity within the required range, it is possible to judge and control air pollution based on the amount of suspended particles in the air and realize a breathing-safe indoor area that meets the Clean Room requirements.
[0006] The air pollution detection of existing indoor air purification systems detects and outputs air pollution information by a gas sensor in order to perform the operation and adjustment control of the fan of the filter device. Furthermore, the detection result is transmitted to a cloud computing device through Internet communication. The cloud computing device receives indoor and outdoor air pollution data to form and store a database of air pollution data. Based on the database of the air pollution data, the cloud computing device intelligently compares and calculates, and intelligently selects a control command to transmit to the filter device. Thereby, an internally circulating airflow can be continuously generated indoors, and air pollution is induced and filtered and removed by the filter device multiple times, improving the indoor air pollution state and realizing a clean room-level air environment that meets the cleanliness requirement of the number of suspended particles.
[0007] The indoor air purification system can eliminate indoor air pollution and form a breathable indoor air environment by realizing indoor air quality and filtration and cleaning in real time through the coordinated control of a plurality of indoor cleaning devices and a control device arranged indoors. How these filter devices cooperate with the gas sensor and the cloud computing device for control is an issue faced by the present invention.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0008] An object of the present invention is to provide a control circuit for a gas detection module control device. The control circuit is combined with each indoor cleaning device to realize the detection of air pollution and the coordinated adjustment control operation. In addition, a cloud computing device forms a control command, feeds it back to the electrical connection of the gas detection module, and further transmits it to the drive control element of the indoor cleaning device to control the starting operation of the device. Thereby, air pollution is filtered by the filter, the air pollution in the indoor area is eliminated, and the cleanliness of the clean room level is realized. In addition, the detection element of the gas detection module compares with the air pollution data, transmits a control command to the drive control element of the indoor cleaning device to perform start control, the air pollution is filtered by the filter, the air pollution in the indoor area is eliminated, the requirements of the clean room are met, and an indoor air cleaning system is realized.
