Description
- This application claims priorities to Taiwan Patent Application No. 113112219 filed on Mar. 29, 2024 and Taiwan Patent Application No. 113105859 filed on Feb. 19, 2024. The entire contents of the above-mentioned patent applications are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
- The present disclosure relates to an indoor air cleaning system, and more particularly to an indoor air cleaning system having air cleaning devices cooperated with gas detection modules for air pollution detection, so that an air pollution state of an indoor field specified by accumulated numbers of 1 nm-2.5 μm suspended particulates detected by a plurality of gas detection modules within 24 hours can meet a cleanliness of ZAPClean room 1-12.
- Suspended particles are solid particles or droplets contained in the air. Due to their extremely fine size, the suspended particles may enter the lungs of human body through the nasal hairs in the nasal cavity easily, causing inflammation in the lungs, asthma or cardiovascular disease. If other pollutant compounds are attached to the suspended particles, it will further increase the harm to the respiratory system. In recent years, the problem of air pollution is getting worse. In particular, the concentration of particle matters (e.g., PM2.5) is often too high. Therefore, the monitoring to the concentration of the gas suspended particles is taken more and more seriously. However, the gas flows unstably due to variable wind direction and air volume, and the general gas-quality monitoring station is located in a fixed place. Under this circumstance, it is impossible for people to check the concentration of suspended particles in current environment.
- Furthermore, in recent years, modern people are placing increasing importance on the quality of the air in their surroundings. For example, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds (VOC), PM2.5, nitric oxide, sulfur monoxide and even the suspended particles contained in the air are exposed in the environment to affect the human health, and even endanger the life seriously. Therefore, the quality of environmental air has attracted the attention in various countries. At present, how to detect the air quality and avoid the harm is a crucial issue that urgently needs to be solved.
- In order to confirm the quality of the air, it is feasible to use a gas sensor to detect the air in the surrounding environment. If the detection information can be provided in real time to warn people in the environment, it is helpful of avoiding the harm and facilitates people to escape the hazard immediately, thereby preventing the hazardous gas exposed in the environment from affecting the human health and causing the harm. Therefore, it is considered a valuable application to use a gas sensor to detect the air in the surrounding environment.
- In addition, it is not easy to control the indoor air quality. Besides the outdoor air quality, indoor air-conditioning conditions and pollution sources are the major factors affecting the indoor air quality. It is necessary to intelligently and rapidly detect indoor air pollution sources in various indoor fields, effectively remove the indoor air pollution to form a clean and safe breathing gas state, and monitor the indoor air quality in real time anytime, anywhere. Certainly, if the concentration of the suspended particles in the indoor field is strictly controlled according to the “clean room” standard, it allows of avoiding the introduction, generation and retention of suspended particles, and the temperature and humidity in the indoor field can be controlled within the required range. That is to say, through classifying the indoor field by the number of suspended particles in the air, the indoor field can meet the clean room requirements for safe breathing.
- Currently, the air pollution detection of the indoor air cleaning system is as followed. The gas detector detects and outputs air pollution information, the cloud computing server receives the air pollution information of outdoor field and indoor field, stores the air pollution information to form a database of air pollution data, performs an intelligence computing for comparison based on the air pollution data, and intelligently selects and issues a control command to enable the fan of the air cleaning device to generate a directional circulation airflow for rapidly guiding the air pollution to pass through the filter element multiple times for filtration, thereby reaching a gas state of the indoor field to a cleanroom class by a cleanliness specification based on the number of suspended particles.
- Therefore, it is an issue of concern developed in the present disclosure to provide an indoor air cleaning system which monitors the indoor air quality and filters and cleans the indoor air in real time through a coordinated regulation between plural air cleaning devices and a control device, so as to make the air pollution state of the indoor field which has a space specified by accumulated numbers of 1 nm-2.5 μm suspended particulates detected by plural gas detection modules within 24 hours to meet a cleanliness of ZAPClean room 1-12.
- The major object of the present disclosure is to provide an indoor air cleaning system including a plurality of gas detection modules, a plurality of air cleaning devices and at least one central control device. Through disposing the gas detection module in each of the air cleaning devices in electric connection, the air pollution is detected and the operation is regulated. Moreover, the connection of the central control device to the gas detection modules is achieved through one of the wired communication and the wireless communication selected under the handshake protocol for providing the operation instruction to the gas detection modules to control the enablement, air volume and noise level of the fans of the plurality of air cleaning devices, so as to guide the air pollution to pass through the filter elements of the plurality of air cleaning devices for filtration, thereby making the air pollution state of the indoor field specified by accumulated numbers of 1 nm-2.5 μm suspended particulates detected by the plurality of gas detection modules within 24 hours to meet a cleanliness of ZAPClean room 1-12.
- In a broader aspect of the present disclosure, an indoor air cleaning system is provided. The system includes a plurality of gas detection modules for detecting an air pollution and generating air pollution data so as to compute and output a plurality of regulation signals; a plurality of air cleaning devices disposed in an indoor field, wherein each of the plurality of air cleaning device includes a fan, a filter element and a driving control component and has at least one of the plurality of gas detection modules disposed therein and electrically connected to the driving control component thereof for controlling an enablement, an air volume and a noise level of the fan thereof, so as to guide the air pollution to pass through the filter element thereof for filtration; and at least one central control device connected with the plurality of gas detection modules through wired communication or wireless communication under a handshake protocol for providing an operation instruction to the plurality of gas detection modules to control operations of the fans of the plurality of air cleaning devices and receiving the air pollution data detected by the plurality of gas detection modules for real time display, wherein an air pollution state of the indoor field specified by accumulated numbers of 1 nm-2.5 μm suspended particulates detected by the plurality of gas detection modules within 24 hours meets a cleanliness of ZAPClean room 1-12.
