Description

1 TARIFF Odor-removing fan system for shoe racks. TECHNICAL AREA 5 The invention eliminates odors in enclosed spaces such as shoe racks used in homes and living areas. It features a combination of a low-noise fan and modular filter that provides drainage. It is related to the system. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE Known techniques for eliminating bad odors inside shoe racks generally passive adsorbents, ozone devices, or desktop air purifiers Passive solutions, activated carbon bags, gel-based products, or soda 15 are used. It is made of materials such as these, and because there is no airflow, the odor is released very slowly and to a limited extent. This reduces the effectiveness of these products quickly. They become saturated, lose their effectiveness, and are stored in a closed environment. They cannot provide equal effect. Ozone devices, on the other hand, have the potential for rapid odor suppression. Although it has these benefits, it poses health risks; it can damage the respiratory system, and the shoes... It can damage the ingredients and prevent even distribution inside the cabinet, so it's a high 20. They create concentration zones. Desktop air purifiers use HEPA and active technology. Although it provides strong filtration with its carbon filters, it doesn't fit the shape of a shoe rack. It produces high noise and vibration in enclosed spaces, and filter replacement is also difficult for the user. It is laborious. However, dryers and UV-C solutions solve the problem of moisture and microorganisms. It reduces it partially, but high temperatures wear down shoe materials, UV light 25 They are ineffective in shaded areas and pose a safety risk. Simple USB fans, on the other hand, are only... It provides air movement, but because it doesn't filter, it doesn't remove odors; on the contrary, it disperses them. This Common problems with known techniques; odor due to dead zones in enclosed spaces. Localized contamination of clean air by backflow and leakage, short filter life Contraindications include: rapid saturation, laborious maintenance, noise and vibration disturbance, and energy consumption of 30. This can be summarized as high consumption and form factor mismatch. In addition, ozone and chemical-based solutions are important in terms of health and material safety. 2 It carries serious risks. Therefore, existing systems are small and enclosed, like shoe racks. Fast, safe, low-noise, and user-friendly odor removal in various volumes. It is unable to provide this. For odors in shoe racks, passive odor removers (activated carbon bags, gel, 5 (e.g., soda) or small plug-in ozonizers are used. Passive ozonizers use air circulation. Because it is not available, it remains slow; ozone generators, on the other hand, can be risky in terms of health and odor. Furthermore, it cannot provide an even distribution of air within the shoe rack's interior space. Small desktop air However, the cleaners are incompatible in terms of volume and form with the shoe rack, and they also waste energy. Consumption is higher. 10 Disadvantages: • Passive products have a delayed and limited effect because there is no active airflow. • Products that use ozone / chemicals pose health and material risks. • Problems with placement, noise, and inefficiency in devices that do not fit the volume / format. 15 It is available. • The need for filter replacement / cleaning is not user-friendly. Consequently, due to the aforementioned drawbacks and shortcomings, the relevant The need for innovation in the technical field has arisen. 20 3 THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The overall purpose of the invention is to create a complete system that meets the requirements mentioned above. especially those that eliminate disadvantages and bring some additional advantages; home and Odor removal in enclosed spaces such as shoe racks used in living areas 5 with a system that provides low noise with a combination of fan and modular filter. It is related. Due to the drawbacks of the previous technique, the invention, as described above, It aims to resolve the negative aspects. 10 The main purpose of this invention is to eliminate the unpleasant odors that form in small, enclosed spaces such as shoe racks. Compact design that can eliminate odors quickly, safely, quietly and in a user-friendly way. The goal is to develop a fan-filter system. Other important objectives of the invention: Activating Airflow • To eliminate the slow effect of passive odor removers, the device uses BLDC (Blended Deodorizer). It actively circulates air with a low-noise fan. • Thus, the smelly air is directed to the filter, while the clean air is supplied in a controlled manner. 20 It is returned to the cupboard. Providing Multilayer Filtration • Modular filter cartridge to overcome the shortcomings of single-layer solutions. It is designed. 25 • The pre-filter traps dust, while the activated carbon adsorbs VOCs and odors (optional). mini-HEPA filters capture fine particles. • This way, both odor and particle-related problems are solved simultaneously. Eliminating Health and Safety Risks 30 • To eliminate the risks of ozone or chemical-based devices. The system does not produce ozone. 4 • Odor removal without harming the user or the shoe materials. provides. Reducing Noise and Vibration • To solve fan noise and vibration problems in enclosed spaces, use a vibration absorber 5. Silicone feet and a clip-on mounting bracket are used. • The BLDC fan operates at a low dB(A) level, making it suitable for nighttime use. Energy Efficiency and User Control • Timer and automatic mode 10 without the need for continuous operation. Thanks to this, the device is activated periodically. • Powered by USB-C / 5V low-voltage power supply or battery operation. Efficiency and safety are ensured. Form-Factor Harmony and Aesthetics 15 • Flat box design specifically for shoe rack shelves, ensuring device lid closure. It doesn't obstruct, it looks pleasing to the eye. • Clip-on mounting secures the device, preventing slipping or misalignment. It is prevented. Easy Maintenance and User-Friendly Design 20 • Filter cartridge replacement is quick and effortless thanks to the sliding mechanism. renewable. • The body is made of ABS / PP injection molding, ensuring durability and a long lifespan. To fulfill all the purposes stated above and those that can be derived from the detailed explanation, 25 The invention relates to an odor-removing fan system for shoe racks.

Operation: The fan (2) removes the dirty and smelly air from inside the shoe rack through the suction grille. The air draws into the housing (1). As the air passes through the cartridge (3), dust passes through the pre-filter first. It is held in place, then an activated carbon layer adsorbs VOCs and odors, optional 30 The mini-HEPA layer traps fine particles. The cleaned air is directed and... Fresh air is returned to the cabinet via the flap (4); the flap (4) prevents reverse flow. 8 It ensures the protection of the room. The power and control module (5) controls the fan speed and operation. It sets the duration. Thanks to the timer function, the device intervals at specific intervals (for example) It operates automatically (for 10-15 minutes every hour), ensuring energy efficiency. Usage: The user can operate the device in continuous mode or in periodic mode. 5 It can be used. Low, medium, or high flow rates can be selected with the speed setting. Filter The cartridge (3) can be easily removed and replaced with a sliding mechanism, thus Maintenance is effortless. Thanks to the USB-C connection, the device is compatible with universal adapters. It is compatible, and the battery-powered option provides portability. It has a low noise level. Therefore, the device is suitable for nighttime use and causes no disturbance in the living space. He won't give it. Other Considerations: The device does not produce ozone, therefore it does not pose a risk to user health or footwear. It does not damage the materials. Because it operates at low dB(A) in a closed space. It is quiet. ABS / PP housing (1) is durable and long-lasting, TPU flap (4) has flexibility 15 Thanks to this, it is resistant to deformation during long-term use.
