As shown in
The structure of the air purifier is simple and compact. The sequential arrangement of the flowerpot assembly 310, the microorganism box 302 and the water tank 303, is capable of effectively avoiding the massive presence of the plant roots in the water tank which lead to a blockage of water circulation channel, to ensure that the dusts, the VOCs and the microorganisms can enter the water circulation successfully. With the driving of the water circulation, the microorganisms can enter the flowerpot to have a symbiosis with the plant roots. The dusts can enter the flowerpot to be absorbed by the plant roots. The microorganisms can degrade the VOCs through the entire water circulation process and can remove dusts and VOCs effectively and has a high purification efficiency. The water inlet and outlet are provided on the flowerpot, thus it can ensure that the water inside the air purifier forms an internal circulation without adding any other structures additionally. The air purifier is simple to use and operate. It can replenish the water circulation with the required water and microorganisms by means of watering the flowerpot directly, or replenish the water tank with water or the microorganism box with microorganisms in other manners. The air purifier purifies the air via the internal circulation of water inside the air purifier through the ecosystem, and it is environment friendly.
A separate water tank 303 may be provided or not provided. The flowerpot 3011 serves not only as a flowerpot to plant plants, but also as a water tank for holding water.
When in use, the microorganisms in the microorganism box 302 can flow through the flowerpot to have a symbiosis with the plants planted in the flowerpot, with the driving of the water circulation. Air enters via the air inlet 101 provided on the shell 1, dusts and VOCs are adsorbed on the filtering system 4 when the air passes through the filtering system 4. Under the effect of the water circulation, dusts and VOCs enter into the ecological purification system, wherein the microorganisms purify the VOCs and the plant roots adsorb the dusts. Certainly the plants can also absorb a part of the VOCs. The purified air is exhausted out of the air purifier via the air outlet 102.
Preferably, the filtering system 4 includes a filtering layer 401 including a primary filtering layer 4011, a secondary filtering layer 4012 capable of adsorbing dusts and a water curtain 4013 capable of adsorbing VOCs and dusts, which are arranged in sequence between the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102. Both ends of the water curtain 4013 are respectively in fluid communication with the water outlet 30111 of the flowerpot and the microorganism box 302. The primary filtering layer 4011 is capable of preventing large impurities such as animal hairs from entering the air purifier so as to prevent the blocking of the air purifier. The secondary filtering layer 4012 is capable of preventing large particle contaminants such as dusts, pollens and etc. from entering the air purifier. The water curtain 4013 is capable of adsorbing dusts with smaller sizes (e.g. PM2.5) and VOCs. Under the effects of the three filtering layers, it not only ensures that the dusts and VOCs in air can enter the air purifier successfully for purification, but also reduces the cleaning intensity to prevent the airflow channels and the water circulation channels of the air purifier from being blocked. The water curtain can direct the dusts and VOCs absorbed thereon into the microorganism box 302 through the water outlet 30111 of the flowerpot. Preferably, the flowerpot assembly 301 is positioned above the water curtain 4013, and the microorganism box 302 is positioned under the water curtain 4013. On the one hand this construction makes the structure more compact, and on the other hand since the flowerpot 3011 of the flowerpot assembly 301 is positioned above, when the water level in the sub-pot is higher than the water outlet 30111 of the flowerpot, then the water flows out naturally and under the gravity effect, the dusts and VOCs thereon is taken away through the water curtain 4013, which avoid an excessive rapid water flow which may be splashed on the filtering layer 401 and may cause the entering of the microorganisms into the room at the position of the filtering layer 401.
Preferably, the water curtain 4013 employs the water absorbent material and/or the antibacterial material, such as the water curtain 4013 employs the water absorbent antibacterial microporous material. The water absorbent material is easily to adsorb dusts and VOCs. The antibacterial material is not easily to adsorb the microorganisms, so that the microorganisms can cycle quickly, and can have a symbiosis with the plants in water, which increases the microbial survival time. Preferably, the water curtain is formed by folding the water absorbent material and/or the antibacterial material, which increases the surface area, so as to enlarge the contacting area with air, which is more advantageous to adsorb dusts and VOCs and improves the purification efficiency.
Preferably, the ecological purification system further includes a water diverter assembly 304 provided between the flowerpot 3011 and the water curtain 4013. The water diverter assembly 304 is provided with at least one water outlet and at least one water inlet. The water inlet of the water diverter assembly 304 is in fluid communication with the water outlet of the flowerpot 30111, and the water outlet of the water diverter assembly is in fluid communication with the water curtain 4013. This configuration of the water diverter assembly 304 can direct the water circulation paths to enable the water to flow out from the flowerpot and to pass through the water curtain uniformly, bringing dusts and VOCs adsorbed on the water curtain into the microorganism box 302.
Preferably, the microorganism box 302 is provided therein with fillers which are capable of adsorbing dusts, VOCs and microorganisms. When in use, it is only required to add microorganisms. The added microorganisms include at least one microorganism capable of degrading VOCs, such as the microorganism is a combination of Pseudomonas and other microorganism populations. The other microorganism populations may be selected from the group consisting of Bacillus, Streptomyces, Mucor, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Rhizopus, Alternaria and the like. The addition of the fillers is beneficial for the absorption of microorganisms, dusts and VOCs. In such a context, the microorganisms are capable of degrading more dusts and VOCs. The microorganisms in the microorganism box 302 may also be fixed in the fillers so as to keep a certain number of the microorganisms in the microorganism box 302. The purification process occurs mainly in the microorganism box 302. In addition a small part of the escaping microorganisms will cycle with the water circulation, and purify air in the water curtain, water tank and flowerpot. The fixing of the microorganisms may use the entrapment method to form a microporous gel with sodium alginate and calcium chloride. The contaminants enter into the inside of the gel through the micropores to be purified by the microorganisms.
Preferably, a drainage outlet is provided at the bottom of the water tank 303, and the drainage outlet is detachably connected with a closing element 3031 matching therewith, so as to exhaust the water in the water tank 303 conveniently when necessary.
Preferably, the water tank 303 is provided with a water-tank separator configured to seal the water tank 303 and further to prevent the water in the water tank 303 from overflowing when the air purifier is toppling, and the water-tank separator is provided inside or on the top of the water tank 303, and hermetically connected with the water tank 303. This configuration is capable of preventing the water from splashing on electrical devices such as controller and fan during the process of water adding or water circulation, which prevents corrosion of the internal configuration, and is also capable of preventing the water in the water tank 303 from overflowing when the air purifier is toppling so as to protect the internal configuration of the air purifier and to ensure the use safety.
Preferably, the ecological purification system further includes a water pump connected to the control system 2, and a drawing pipe assembly 306 connected to the water pump, and configured to introduce the water from the water tank 303 to the water inlet of the flowerpot 3011. In such a configuration, under the effect of the water pump, the water in the water tank 303 can enter the flowerpot assembly 301 via the drawing pipe assembly 306. The water returns to the water tank through the flowerpot assembly 301 and then through the microorganism box 302. In such a way an internal water circulation is formed in the air purifier, which can save water, and the microorganisms in the microorganism box 302 may flows through the water circulation. The air purification process may proceed in the flowerpot assembly 301, the microorganism box 302, the water tank 303 and the water curtain 4013 (if there is provided with a structure of the water curtain 4013). The purification process is that: the water curtain 4013 intercepts dusts and VOCs in air; under the effect of the water, the dusts and VOCs enter into the microorganism box 302, where the dusts are adsorbed onto the biological purification layer 301, the VOCs are purified in the microorganism box 302, and the dusts enter the flowerpot assembly 301 through the water circulation to be absorbed by the plant roots for using. In addition during the process of the water circulation, the microorganisms in the flowerpot assembly 301, the water curtain 4013 and the water tank 303 can respectively purify a part of VOCs.
Preferably the filtering system 4 further includes a fan device 402 connected with the control system 2, and the fan device 402 includes a wind rotor 4021, an electric motor 4022 capable of driving the wind rotor 4021 and a wind guide tube 4023 guiding the wind caused by the rotating of the wind rotor to the air outlet 102, which can accelerate the air flow and improve the purification efficiency. The water curtain 4013 has a folding design, through which the airflows should pass in a bending manner, so that the contacting and exchanging area of the polluted air and the water is greatly increased. Meantime, due to the effect of the fan device, the pressure is suddenly reduced after the air has passed through the water curtain, thus a pressure difference between the front and the rear of the water curtain is formed, such that the water molecules evaporate rapidly in the folded layers of the water curtain to form air mist masses. Contaminants are wrapped in the air mist masses, and are brought by the water flow into the microorganism box 302 when the water flow from the water diverter flows through the water curtain, where the organic contaminants such as formaldehyde, benzene and the like are degraded by the microorganisms into carbon dioxides and water. The carbon dioxides into the air can be adsorbed by plant leaves for photosynthesis to be transferred into oxygen, while nitrate, sulfate, ammonium salt and sodium salt etc. in dusts/particles (PM 2.5) enter the flowerpot through the water circulation system, and then are absorbed by plant roots for use.
Preferably, the air purifier further includes an ultraviolet lamp assembly 5 provided between the wind rotor 4021 and the air outlet 102, which is capable of creating ultraviolet for sterilization. Preferably, the ultraviolet lamp is arranged opposite to the air inlet of the wind rotor, wherein the wind rotor 4021 may be a turbine exhaust fan. The air inlet of the turbine fan is relatively small, such that on the one hand the effects of the ultraviolet may be concentrated, and it does not need too large area of radiation, and on the other hand, it does not need too much power. Meanwhile, in order to prevent the generation of ozone, it is preferably to use an ultraviolet lamp that emits only the light with 254 nm wavelength. In order to prevent the ultraviolet leakage, there is provided a protective cover outside the lamp tube, so that it will not cause harm to the human body. The ultraviolet lamp assembly 5 performs a sterilization operation to provide a further purification guarantee, which may kill the microorganisms permeating through the water curtain 4013 or via the pores on the edges thereof, to prevent the microorganisms from causing a secondary pollution to air.
Preferably, the flowerpot 3011 is further provided with an overflow hole positioned higher than the water outlet 30111 of the flowerpot; and the ecological purification system further includes a return pipe assembly connected to the overflow hole of the flowerpot 3011 so as to introduce excessive water into the water tank 303 when the water level in the flowerpot 3011 is higher than the overflow hole. When the water is too much during the process of directly adding water to the flowerpot 3011, the water may directly flow into the water tank via the overflow hole through the return pipe assembly, to prevent the water from diffusing from the flowerpot 3011 into the room due to the excessive water.
Preferably, the control system 2 includes a circuit board 201, a function key 202 and a display 203, wherein the function key 202 may be provided on the shell 1.
