[0020] [Details of Embodiments of the Present Disclosure] <First Embodiment> FIG. 1 discloses an air quality improvement device 10 according to the first embodiment. The air quality improvement device 10 is mounted on, for example, a vehicle. The air quality improvement device 10 improves the air quality of the air in a room 40 (for example, a vehicle interior 40) and supplies the improved air to the room 40.
[0021] The air quality improvement device 10 includes a flow path 11, adsorption units 12 and 13, a pressurization unit 14, backflow prevention units 15A and 15B, switching units 16 and 17, a purge valve 18, a tank 21, an MFC 22, an oxygen concentration measurement unit 23, a biological sensor 24, a pressure detection unit 25, an inverter 26, a control unit 27, and a notification unit 28.
[0022] The flow path 11 is a flow path that guides the air taken in from the inlet 11A to the outlet 11B. In the flow path 11, the inlet 11A side is also referred to as the upstream side, and the outlet 11B side is also referred to as the downstream side.
[0023] The adsorption units 12 and 13 are each configured as a cylindrical adsorption cylinder. The inner wall of the adsorption cylinder constitutes at least a part of the flow path 11. The adsorption units 12 and 13 are separate from each other. The flow path 11 branches in the middle, and the adsorption unit 12 is provided in one branch flow path 11D, and the adsorption unit 13 is provided in the other branch flow path 11E. That is, the adsorption units 12 and 13 are provided in parallel with each other in the flow path 11.
[0024] The adsorption part 12 includes a first adsorbent 12A that adsorbs nitrogen and a second adsorbent 12B that adsorbs carbon dioxide. The adsorption part 13 includes a first adsorbent 13A that adsorbs nitrogen and a second adsorbent 13B that adsorbs carbon dioxide, respectively. The first adsorbents 12A and 13A are, for example, zeolite-based nitrogen adsorbents. When pressurized, the first adsorbents 12A and 13A preferentially adsorb nitrogen in the air over oxygen, and when depressurized, they release the adsorbed nitrogen to regenerate the adsorbent. The second adsorbents 12B and 13B are, for example, zeolite-based carbon dioxide adsorbents. When pressurized, the second adsorbents 12B and 13B preferentially adsorb carbon dioxide in the air over oxygen, and when depressurized, they release the adsorbed carbon dioxide to regenerate the adsorbent. The first adsorbent 12A and the second adsorbent 12B are integrally formed. The first adsorbent 13A and the second adsorbent 13B are integrally formed.
[0025] The pressurizing part 14 is configured as, for example, a compressor. The pressurizing part 14 is provided upstream of the adsorption parts 12 and 13. The pressurizing part 14 takes in the air supplied from the inlet 11A and supplies and pressurizes the air to the pressurization target flow path 11C where the adsorption parts 12 and 13 are provided. The pressurization target flow path 11C is a flow path in the flow path 11 that is downstream of the pressurizing part 14 and upstream of the backflow prevention parts 15A and 15B.
[0026] The backflow prevention parts 15A and 15B are provided downstream of the adsorption parts 12 and 13. The backflow prevention parts 15A and 15B allow air to flow downstream and prevent air from flowing upstream. The backflow prevention parts 15A and 15B are configured as, for example, orifices.
[0027] The switching unit 16 switches between a first state in which the supply of air from the pressurizing unit 14 to the adsorption unit 12 is allowed to pressurize the adsorption unit 12, and a second state in which the discharge of gas from the adsorption unit 12 to the outside is allowed to depressurize the adsorption unit 12. The switching unit 16 includes on-off valves 16A and 16B. The on-off valve 16A is provided in a branch flow path 11D branched to the adsorption unit 12 side between the pressurizing unit 14 and the adsorption unit 12. The on-off valve 16B is provided between the flow path between the pressurizing unit 14 and the adsorption unit 12 and the exhaust port 31. The switching unit 16 enters the first state when the on-off valve 16A is in the open state and the on-off valve 16B is in the closed state. The switching unit 16 enters the second state when the on-off valve 16A is in the closed state and the on-off valve 16B is in the open state.
[0028] The switching unit 17 switches between a first state in which the supply of air from the pressurizing unit 14 to the adsorption unit 13 is allowed to pressurize the adsorption unit 13, and a second state in which the discharge of gas from the adsorption unit 13 to the outside is allowed to depressurize the adsorption unit 13. The switching unit 17 includes on-off valves 17A and 17B. The on-off valve 17A is provided in a branch flow path 11E branched to the adsorption unit 13 side between the pressurizing unit 14 and the adsorption unit 13. The on-off valve 17B is provided between the flow path between the pressurizing unit 14 and the adsorption unit 13 and the exhaust port 31. The switching unit 17 enters the first state when the on-off valve 17A is in the open state and the on-off valve 17B is in the closed state. The switching unit 17 enters the second state when the on-off valve 17A is in the closed state and the on-off valve 17B is in the open state.
[0029] The purge valve 18 is provided in the bypass flow path 32. The bypass flow path 32 is a flow path connecting the flow path between the adsorption unit 12 and the backflow prevention unit 15A and the flow path between the adsorption unit 13 and the backflow prevention unit ①5B. The purge valve 18 switches between an open state and a closed state.
[0030] The tank 21 is provided on the downstream side of the backflow prevention units 15A and 15B. The tank 21 functions as a storage unit for storing the air after nitrogen and carbon dioxide have been adsorbed by the adsorption units 12 and 13.
[0031] MFC22 is provided downstream of the tank 21. MFC22 is a Mass Flow Controller. MFC22 functions as a flow rate detection unit that detects the flow rate flowing through the flow path 11. Also, MFC22 functions as a flow rate adjustment unit that adjusts the flow rate flowing through the flow path 11.
[0032] The oxygen concentration measurement unit 23 is provided downstream of MFC22. The oxygen concentration measurement unit 23 measures the oxygen concentration of the air after the adsorption target is adsorbed by the adsorption units 12 and 13. The oxygen concentration measurement unit 23 is configured as, for example, an oxygen sensor. A signal indicating the measurement value by the oxygen concentration measurement unit 23 is input to the control unit 27.
[0033] The biological sensor 24 measures the biological information of the user 41 who uses the air quality improvement device 10. The user 41 is, for example, a driver in the vehicle interior 40. The biological information is, for example, the heart rate and the number of breaths per unit time. The biological sensor 24 may be a contact type that contacts the user 41 or a non-contact type. The biological sensor 24 estimates the carbon dioxide concentration in the vehicle interior 40 based on the biological information of the user 41. The biological sensor 24 stores, for example, correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the biological information and the carbon dioxide concentration in advance. The biological sensor 24 estimates the carbon dioxide concentration in the vehicle interior 40 based on this correspondence information and the measured biological information. The correspondence information is, for example, information associating a higher heart rate or a higher number of breaths with a higher carbon dioxide concentration. The correspondence information may be a table or function information. A signal indicating the carbon dioxide concentration estimated by the biological sensor 24 is input to the control unit 27.
[0034] The pressure detection unit 25 detects the pressure in the pressurization target flow path 11C. The pressure detection unit 25 is configured as, for example, a known pressure sensor. A signal indicating the detection value by the pressure detection unit 25 is input to the control unit 27.
[0035] The control unit 27 is configured to include, for example, a microcomputer. The control unit 27 controls the pressurizing unit 14 via the inverter 26. In the air quality improvement operation, the control unit 27 sets a target pressure based on the biological information measured by the biological sensor 24, and controls the pressurizing unit 14 so that the pressure in the pressure target flow path 11C becomes the target pressure.
[0036] For example, when the start condition is satisfied, the control unit 27 starts the air quality improvement operation shown in FIG. 2. The start condition may be, for example, that the carbon dioxide concentration input from the biological sensor 24 is less than the start threshold value, or may be another condition.
[0037] When the start condition is satisfied, the control unit 27 sets a target pressure based on the biological information measured by the biological sensor 24 in step S11 of FIG. 2. Specifically, the target pressure is set based on the carbon dioxide concentration estimated from the biological information by the biological sensor 24. The control unit 27 stores, for example, pressure information indicating the correspondence between the carbon dioxide concentration and the pressure in advance, and sets the target pressure based on this pressure information and the carbon dioxide concentration. The pressure information is, for example, information associating a higher carbon dioxide concentration with a higher pressure. The pressure information may be a table or function information.
[0038] After setting the target pressure, the control unit 27 sets one of the switching units 16 and 17 to the first state and the other to the second state in step S12. Then, in step S13, the control unit 27 controls the pressurizing unit 14 so that the pressure in the pressure target flow path 11C becomes the target pressure. Thereafter, in step S14, the control unit 27 determines whether or not the switching condition is satisfied. The switching condition may be, for example, that the pressure in the pressure target flow path 11C has reached the target pressure, or that a state where the pressure in the pressure target flow path 11C exceeds the target pressure has elapsed for a predetermined time, or may be another condition.
[0039] When the control unit 27 determines that the switching condition is not satisfied, it returns to step S14. That is, the control unit 27 repeats the process of step S14 until it determines that the switching condition is satisfied. When the control unit 27 determines that the switching condition is satisfied, in step S15, it switches the states of the switching units 16 and 17. That is, the control unit 27 switches the switching unit in the first state to the second state, and switches the switching unit in the second state to the first state. Thereafter, the control unit 27 returns to step S14.
[0040] That is, every time the switching condition is satisfied, the control unit 27 alternately switches the switching units 16 and 17 to the first state. As a result, when the switching unit 16 is in the first state, the air quality improvement device 10 adsorbs nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the air taken in from the inlet 11A by the adsorption unit 12, and discharges the air after nitrogen and carbon dioxide are adsorbed by the adsorption unit 12 from the outlet 11B. Further, when the switching unit 17 is in the first state, the air quality improvement device 10 adsorbs nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the air taken in from the inlet 11A by the adsorption unit 13, and discharges the air after nitrogen and carbon dioxide are adsorbed by the adsorption unit 13 from the outlet 11B. Thereby, the air quality improvement device 10 can efficiently generate air with reduced nitrogen and carbon dioxide and increased oxygen concentration, and supply it to the user 41, and thus can improve the state of the user 41. Furthermore, the air quality improvement device 10 can adjust the adsorption amounts of nitrogen and carbon dioxide by the adsorption units 12 and 13 by controlling the pressurization unit 14 so that the pressure in the pressurization target flow path 11C becomes the pressure corresponding to the biological information of the user 41. That is, the air quality improvement device 10 can adjust the oxygen concentration and carbon dioxide concentration of the air discharged from the outlet 11B according to the biological information of the user 41.
[0041] Further, the control unit 27 determines whether or not the biological information measured by the biological sensor 24 is normal at a predetermined timing after the air quality improvement operation is started. When it is determined that the biological information is not normal, it is determined that the adsorption units 12 and 13 are deteriorated. According to this configuration, the air quality improvement apparatus 10 can determine that the adsorption units 12 and 13 are deteriorated when the biological information does not become normal even after a certain period of time has elapsed since the start of the air quality improvement operation.
[0042] The predetermined timing may be, for example, the timing when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the air quality improvement operation, or may be another timing. The control unit 27 determines that the biological information is normal when the carbon dioxide concentration input from the biological sensor 24 is equal to or higher than a predetermined normal threshold value, and determines that the biological information is not normal when it is less than the normal threshold value.
[0043] Further, the control unit 27 determines that the second adsorbents 12B and 13B are deteriorated when it is determined that the biological information is not normal at the above-mentioned predetermined timing and it is determined that the oxygen concentration measured by the oxygen concentration measurement unit 23 is equal to or higher than the reference value. According to this configuration, the air quality improvement apparatus 10 can determine that the second adsorbents 12B and 13B are deteriorated when the biological information does not become normal even though the oxygen concentration is equal to or higher than the reference value at a certain point in time after the start of the air quality improvement operation.
[0044] Further, the control unit 27 determines that at least the first adsorbents 12A and 13A among the first adsorbents 12A and 13A and the second adsorbents 12B and 13B are deteriorated when it is determined that the biological information is not normal at the above-mentioned predetermined timing and it is determined that the oxygen concentration measured by the oxygen concentration measurement unit 23 is less than the reference value. According to this configuration, the air quality improvement apparatus 10 can determine that at least the first adsorbents 12A and 13A are deteriorated when the biological information does not become normal and the oxygen concentration is less than the reference value at a certain point in time after the start of the air quality improvement operation.
[0045] When the control unit 27 determines that at least a part of the suction units 12 and 13 has deteriorated, it causes the notification unit 28 to perform a notification operation to notify the user 41 to that effect. The notification unit 28 is, for example, an audio output device or a display. The audio output device is, for example, a speaker or a buzzer. The display is, for example, a liquid crystal display or a lamp. In the configuration where the air quality improvement device 10 is mounted on a vehicle, the notification unit 28 may be one that is pre-mounted on the vehicle or one that is retrofitted.
[0046] Further, when the control unit 27 determines at the above-mentioned predetermined timing that the biological information is normal and that the oxygen concentration measured by the oxygen concentration measurement unit 23 is equal to or higher than the reference value, it stops the air quality improvement operation. According to this configuration, when a certain amount of time has elapsed since the start of the air quality improvement operation, if the biological information is normal and the oxygen concentration is equal to or higher than the reference value, the air quality improvement device 10 can stop the air quality improvement operation to save power.
[0047] Further, when the control unit 27 determines that the biological information has changed suddenly, it controls the MFC 22 to increase the flow rate and discharges the air stored in the tank 21 from the outlet 11B. According to this configuration, when the state of the user 41 changes suddenly, the air quality improvement device 10 can discharge more concentrated oxygen. The control unit 27 may determine that the biological information has changed suddenly, for example, when it determines that the carbon dioxide concentration has decreased suddenly. The control unit 27 may determine that the carbon dioxide concentration has decreased suddenly, for example, when it determines that the carbon dioxide concentration has decreased by a certain value or more within a certain period of time.
