The present disclosure relates to a central controller for detecting and completely cleaning air pollution, and more particularly to a central controller for completely cleaning indoor air pollution.
In recent years, people pay more and more attention to the air quality around their living environment. Particulate matter (PM), such as PM1, PM2.5 and PM10, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), formaldehyde and even suspended particles, aerosols, bacteria and viruses contained in the air and exposed in the environment might affect human health, and even endanger people's life.
However, it is not easy to control the indoor air quality. In addition to the air quality of the outdoor space, the air environmental conditions and pollution sources, especially the dusts originated from poor air circulation in the indoor space, are the major factors that affect indoor air quality. In order to quickly improve the indoor air quality, several devices, such as air conditioners or air purifiers are utilized to achieve the purpose of improving the indoor air quality.
Therefore, in order to intelligently and quickly detect the location of the indoor air pollution, effectively remove the indoor air pollution to form a clean and safe breathing air state, instantly monitor the indoor air quality, and quickly purify the indoor air when the indoor air quality is poor, it becomes important to find a solution to intelligently generate an airflow convection in the indoor space, quickly detect and locate the air pollution, and effectively control plural physical and/or chemical filtration devices to implement an intelligent airflow convection to accelerate airflow in the desired direction(s), and filter and remove air pollution sources in the indoor space by locating the air pollution, draining the air pollution and completely cleaning the air pollution in the indoor space so as to achieve a clean and safe breathing air state.
One object of the present disclosure is to provide a central controller for completely cleaning indoor air pollution. The central controller is disposed in an indoor space to detect air pollution in the indoor space and generate air pollution data, and to process the air pollution data using wireless communication. Then, the characteristic, the concentration and the location of the air pollution in the indoor space are intelligently determined, and the fan is intelligently driven to generate a directional air convection. Through the physical or chemical filtration elements, the air pollution in the indoor space is removed, so that the indoor air quality is promoted to form a clean and safe breathing air state in the indoor space.
In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, a central controller for completely cleaning indoor air pollution is provided. The central controller is disposed in an indoor space to detect air pollution and output air pollution data, wherein intelligence operations are implemented in accordance with the air pollution data by the central controller to determine a location of the air pollution, and a controlling instruction is intelligently and selectively issued through a wireless communication transmission to enable a plurality of physical filtration devices or a plurality of chemical filtration devices, wherein each of the physical filtration devices or the chemical filtration devices includes at least one fan and at least one filter element, wherein the fan is driven upon receiving the controlling instruction, so as to generate an airflow convection in a direction, wherein the air pollution is removed through the filter element, so that the air pollution in the indoor space is completely cleaned to form a clean and safe breathing air state.
The above contents of the present disclosure will become more readily apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art after reviewing the following detailed description and accompanying drawings, in which:
The present disclosure will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of preferred embodiments of this invention are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only.

Thereby, the vibration frequency of the piezoelectric carrying plate 3223a is adjustable. Basically, the thickness of the adjusting resonance plate 3223b is greater than the thickness of the piezoelectric carrying plate 3223a, and the vibration frequency of the actuator element 3223 can be adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the adjusting resonance plate 3223b.
