The present invention relates to an assembly type ventilation device for windows and doors, which is installed between a window and a window frame in an assembly type with various shapes to clean indoor air.
In general, a window has a function of ventilating indoor air as one of functions in various buildings. When a person stays in a room sealed for a long period of time while closing the window, indoor air is polluted, and the polluted indoor air acts as a factor causing various diseases to the human body.
In particular, various dusts and microorganisms in the polluted air cause respiratory diseases and various allergies. Various contaminants generated from indoor building materials, such as formaldehyde, volatile organic matter, and asbestos powder, cause headache, cough, itchiness, dizziness, fatigue, and decreased concentration, and even cause heart disease and cancer.
Accordingly, the indoor air is necessary to be ventilated with outdoor clean air so as to prevent dusts, microorganisms, and various contaminants from accumulating indoors.
However, it is difficult to ventilate frequently since the outdoor air contains contaminants such as fine dust that are more harmful to the body than the indoor air due to recent air pollution.
Accordingly, the air is required to be ventilated by discharging the polluted indoor air, and an indoor air purifier is required to be operated while blocking an air inflow from the outside to remove contaminants such as fine dust introduced from the outside.
Embodiments of the present invention provide an assembly type ventilation device for windows and doors, which is installed between windows and window frames by adjusting a height and a width to fit sizes of various window frames, installed with a ventilating fan to adjust ventilation speed, and configured to manage indoor air quality in communication with the ventilation fan by measuring the concentration of fine dust in indoor air and outdoor air in real time.

The insertion part 12 into which the air filter module 20 is inserted may be formed in the filter frame 10.
In other words, the insertion part 12 is opened at a center position of the filter frame 10, and the air filter module 20 may be inserted and fixed thereto. The insertion part 12 may have variously modified shape, such as rectangular or round shape, corresponding to a shape of the air filter module 20.
The air filter module 20 is inserted and fixed to the filter frame 10, and may be installed to discharge indoor harmful substances such as radon to the outside and filter external pollutants such as fine dust in the atmosphere.
As shown in
The module frame 21 is inserted into the insertion part 12 of the filter frame 10, and may be formed in a rectangular frame type and installed to be inserted into or ejected from the insertion part 12.
The module frame 21 is fitted and fixed to the cover frame 25, and may be formed therein with a space in which the air filter 23 is installed.
The air filter 23 includes a plurality of air filters installed inside the module frame 21 and the cover frame 25, and the present embodiment exemplarily illustrates the air filter as being provided with a pre-filter 23a, an activated carbon filter 23b, and a HEPA filter 23c.
However, the air filter 23 is not necessarily limited to being provided with the pre-filter 23a, the activated carbon filter 23b, and the HEPA filter 23c, and may also be provided with different types and numbers by changing sizes of the cover frame 25 and the module frame 21.
The cover frame 25 is fitted and fixed to the module frame 21 as described above, and the opening/closing part for selectively exposing the air filter 23 to the atmosphere may be installed to be opened/closed. Herein, the cover frame 25 is exemplarily described as being fitted and fixed, however, the present invention is not limited thereto. The cover frame also may be fixed by a fastening mechanism such as magnetic force of a magnetic member or a bolt member, and fixed surfaces may be siliconized.
The opening/closing part 24 includes a plurality of opening/closing parts provided to be opened and closed in the cover frame 25, and may be manually opened and closed by a user or automatically opened and closed by driving of a driving unit (not shown).
The above-described air filter module 20 may be easily replaced by detachably installing the module frame 21 and the air filter 23 in a sliding type indoors.
Meanwhile, the first fixing part 30 and the second fixing part 40 may be detachably fixed to both sides of the filter frame 10.
To this end, a first fixing protrusion 14 and a second fixing protrusion 16 may protrude from the both sides of the filter frame 10.
One side of the first fixing part 30 may be detachably fixed to the first fixing protrusion 14 by fitting fixing.
As shown in
The first fixing frame 31 has opposite both edges that are bent, and the both bent ends may be detachably fitted and fixed to the first fixing protrusion 14.
In other words, the bent end of the first fixing frame 31 has a first locking protrusion 31a formed therein, and may be detachably fitted and fixed to a locking groove formed in the first fixing protrusion 14.
A first protrusion 31b may protrude from an upper portion of the first fixing frame 31, and may be formed in a lower portion thereof with a first insertion groove 317. Accordingly, the first protrusions 31b of the first fixing frame 31 are inserted into the first insertion grooves 317 in a state in which a plurality of the first fixing frames are arranged vertically, so that stable upper and lower fitting and fixing may be facilitated.
The first support protrusion 33 may protrude from the side surface of the first fixing frame 31.
The first support protrusion 33 protrudes from the side surface of the first fixing frame 31, and will be exemplarily described in the present embodiment as integrally protruding from a side surface of the first support protrusion 33. However, the first support protrusion 33 may be appropriately modified and applied to be detachably fixed to the first fixing frame 31.
The second fixing part 40 may be detachably fitted and fixed to the second fixing protrusion 16 from a side surface of the filter frame 10 at a position opposite to the first fixing part 30.
As shown in
The second fixing frame 41 has opposite both edges that are bent, and the bent both ends have a second locking protrusion 41a formed therein, so as to be detachably fitted and fixed to the second fixing protrusion 16.
A second protrusion 41b may protrude from an upper portion of the second fixing frame 41, and may be formed in a lower portion thereof with a second insertion groove 41c. Accordingly, the second fixing frame 41 is inserted into the second insertion grooves 41c in a state in which a plurality of the second fixing frames 41 are arranged vertically, so that stable fitting and fixing may be facilitated.
Meanwhile, an insertion protrusion 19 may protrude from a lower portion of the filter frame 10.
Two insertion protrusions 19 may protrude from both edge sides of the lower portion of the filter frame 10, respectively.
Accordingly, the insertion protrusion 19 protrudes from the lower portion of the filter frame 10. Thus, when a plurality of filter frames 10 are stacked vertically, the upper portion of the filter frame 10 positioned therebelow is inserted to the insertion protrusion 19, so that a stable stacking may be achieved.
In addition, a protrusion formed on the window frame 13 may be slidably inserted into the insertion protrusion under the stacked air filter module 20. A surface coming into contact with the protrusion formed on the window frame in an inner surface of the insertion protrusion 19 may be processed with a magnetic member or a silicon surface, so that outside air may be prevented from being introduced indoors, and solid fixation may be facilitated without shaking vertically.
As described above, the filter frame 10 may be installed between the window 11 and the window frame 13 in a state that at least two filter frames are stacked vertically.
The handle portion 27 may protrude from the side surface of the filter frame 10. Accordingly, a process of stacking or separating the filter frame 10 may be stably performed.
Meanwhile, according to the assembly type ventilation device 100 for windows and doors of the present embodiment, insulation paint is applied to the entire surface including the opening/closing part 24, so that an indoor temperature may be prevented from dropping in winter.
As described above, the assembly type ventilation device 100 for windows and doors of the present embodiment is installed in a detachable and prefabricated manner between the window and window frame, so as to be easily installed on windows having various sizes with various heights and widths.
Accordingly, the outdoor air may be stably supplied indoors by filtering pollutants such as fine dust in the air while discharging indoor pollutants to the outside, so that effective ventilation may be facilitated, and user satisfaction may be improved.
As shown in
The ventilation module 110 may include a ventilation frame 111 having an upper side inserted to the insertion protrusion 19 of the filter frame, and provided at a lower portion thereof with a fixing protrusion 112 fitted with the window frame, a ventilation fan 113 installed in the ventilation frame 111, and a fine dust measurement part 115 movably installed along the window frame while being inserted inside the ventilation frame 111, and installed therein with a fine dust sensor 115b to allow the ventilation fan 113 to be controlled and driven when fine dust contained in the outside air is less than a set concentration.
The ventilation frame 111 is installed under the filter frame 10, and may be installed at a position between the window frame 13 and the filter frame 10. A first communication hole 111a communicating with an outdoor side and a second communication hole 111b communicating with an indoor side may be formed on side surfaces of the ventilation frame 111.
An installation space is formed inside the ventilation frame 111 so that the ventilation fan 113 may be installed therein.

Accordingly, the concentration of outdoor fine dust may be measured when the fine dust sensor 115b is exposed to the first communication hole 111a, and the concentration of indoor fine dust may be measured when the fine dust sensor 115b is exposed to the second communication hole 111b.
Meanwhile, the sensing signal measured by the fine dust sensor 115b may be remotely received by the user using a receiving mechanism such as a smartphone application, so that the user may remotely control the ventilation fan 113 according to the sensing signal from the fine dust sensor.
Meanwhile, the ventilation module may separately deploy two structures such as an exhaust-dedicated fan (a fan operated according to the results of indoor air quality measurement to discharge indoor pollutants) and an intake-dedicated fan (operated for quick ventilation to introduce air having passed through the filter, and automatically inactivated upon high concentration level of external fine dust), or a fan for both exhaust and intake may be installed according to the results of indoor and outdoor air quality measurement to selectively operate the exhaust or intake. In addition, the air filter is inserted at an outer portion of the intake fan, so that fresh air where fine dust may be introduced. The intake fan may be configured to automatically stop the operations thereof in the case of high concentration based on the measurement result of outdoor air quality, and may be configured to allow a mode of the opening/closing part of the cover frame to be switched into a closed mode.
