Solution Overview

Problem

Current air conditioners and air cleaners are inadequate for effectively eliminating hazardous gases like carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide from indoor spaces, and there is a need for a method to intelligently monitor and improve indoor air quality by exchanging polluted indoor gases with clean outdoor gases.

Innovation Solution

A method involving outdoor and indoor gas detection systems transmitting data to a cloud processing device, which remotely controls gas processing devices to selectively exchange and purify polluted indoor gases, ensuring they are exchanged into a safe, breathable state.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If air conditioners or air cleaners are utilized for indoor gas circulation, then indoor gas circulation is improved, but hazardous gases (especially carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide) cannot be eliminated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindoor gas circulation efficiencyVSAvoidhazardous gases elimination capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the gas exchange function from traditional air conditioners and air cleaners by introducing a dedicated gas exchanger device. This device specifically targets and removes hazardous gases (CO, CO2) from indoor spaces through controlled exchange with outdoor air, while traditional air conditioners handle general air circulation and temperature control. The separation of functions allows each device to optimize its performance for its specific purpose.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The gas exchanger device integrates multiple functions: it detects indoor gas quality (CO, CO2, PM2.5, TVOC), automatically exchanges indoor and outdoor air based on detected levels, and can be controlled remotely via mobile device. This multi-functional integration resolves the contradiction by combining hazardous gas elimination with air circulation capabilities in a single system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Stability of the object's composition

If traditional air conditioners and air cleaners are used, then indoor air circulation is maintained, but real-time monitoring and intelligent control of gas quality is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindoor air circulation stabilityVSAvoidreal-time gas quality monitoring capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates real-time gas quality detection through sensors that continuously monitor CO, CO2, PM2.5, and TVOC levels. The detected data is transmitted to a microcontroller that automatically adjusts the gas exchanger operation to maintain safe gas levels. Additionally, a mobile device provides remote monitoring and control capabilities, allowing users to view real-time gas quality data and manually control the system if needed. This feedback loop ensures both stable air circulation and comprehensive gas quality monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method for intelligently preventing and handling indoor air pollution is adapted to be implemented in an indoor space (A) and includes providing a cloud processing device (5) to receive and intelligently compare an outdoor gas detection data, an indoor gas detection data, and device gas detection data with each other. Then, the cloud processing device (5) remotely transmits a control signal to the communication relay station (4) and further to an indoor gas exchange system (2), so that the indoor gas exchange system (2) is capable of intelligently enabling the gas processing device and controlling the operation time of the gas processing device for exchanging a polluted gas in the indoor space (A) with the outdoor gas. Moreover, the gas exchanger (21) can perform purification for the polluted gas at the location of the gas exchanger (21), thereby allowing the polluted gas in the indoor space (A) to be exchanged into a clean, safe, and breathable gas.
