Solution Overview
Problem
Current clean room systems require large floor space for supply and exhaust air lines, which are complex and costly, and can be a source of contamination, making it difficult to maintain high air purity and efficient air cleaning.
Innovation Solution
A clean room delimitation unit with partially transparent inner and outer walls forming an air duct area, where the air flow device is integrated into the wall module, allowing for adjustable airflow and reduced visual impairment, enabling local control of air flow and flexible adjustment to different production conditions, and eliminating the need for bulky air lines.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If supply and exhaust air lines are installed inside or outside the clean room, then air circulation and cleaning can be achieved, but floor space is consumed and contamination risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the wall structure with the air duct system by integrating air circulation channels directly into the wall modules. The wall modules contain internal air ducts that circulate and clean air without requiring separate supply and exhaust air lines, thereby eliminating the space consumption and contamination risks associated with traditional air line installations while maintaining effective air circulation and purification
2Reliability
If supply and exhaust air lines are installed, then air cleaning can be achieved, but assembly complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The wall modules combine structural and air circulation functions into a single integrated component. Each wall module contains internal air ducts and can be assembled independently, simplifying the overall assembly process compared to installing separate air lines. The modular design allows for easier installation and maintenance while achieving the same air purification objective
Solution Approach 2:
The wall modules serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide structural enclosure for the clean room and integrate air circulation, filtration, and distribution functions. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate air handling components, reducing assembly complexity and cost while maintaining air purity requirements
3Reliability
If wall modules with air duct areas are used, then air circulation is improved, but visual inspection capability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates transparent or translucent materials in the wall module construction, allowing light to pass through the air duct areas. This enables visual inspection of the air circulation paths and internal components without compromising the air cleaning efficiency. The transparent walls maintain the functional integrity of the air ducts while providing observation capability for monitoring and maintenance purposes

AI summary
The structure (10) has a wall module (12) including an inside wall and an exterior wall, where an air circulation region is formed between the inside wall and the exterior wall, and the inside wall and the exterior wall are formed in partial transparent manner. An air circulation and/or return air duct is formed in the air circulation portion. An air flowing through device (16) permits airflow by the inside and exterior walls. The air flowing through device is adjustably arranged at bottom portion of the wall module.
