AIR CLEANER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240085040 titled 'AIR CLEANER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an air cleaner with two separate housings, each with its own fan and flow path. The second housing includes a light source to radiate ultraviolet rays. A connection flow path allows air discharged from the first housing to flow into the second housing for further purification.
- Air cleaner with dual housings and fans
- Light source in second housing for ultraviolet radiation
- Connection flow path for air transfer between housings
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in residential or commercial settings to improve indoor air quality by removing dust and purifying air with ultraviolet light.
Problems Solved
The air cleaner addresses the issue of indoor air pollution by effectively filtering out dust particles and utilizing ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses.
Benefits
The air cleaner provides a comprehensive solution for air purification, combining filtration and ultraviolet light technology to create a healthier indoor environment.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Air Purification Technology for Indoor Spaces"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing air purifiers on the market that use filters and ultraviolet light for air purification, but the specific design of this dual-housing system with a connection flow path may be unique.
Unanswered Questions
How does the connection flow path impact the overall efficiency of the air cleaner?
The connection flow path allows for the transfer of air between the two housings, but it is unclear how this affects the overall performance and effectiveness of the air cleaner. Further testing and analysis may be needed to determine the impact of this feature on air purification.
What is the lifespan of the ultraviolet light source in the second housing?
The abstract mentions a light source in the second housing that radiates ultraviolet rays, but it does not specify the lifespan of this component. Understanding the longevity of the ultraviolet light source is crucial for maintenance and replacement planning.
Original Abstract Submitted
an air cleaner including a first housing including a first suction port and a first discharge port; a first flow path extending from the first suction port to the first discharge port; a first fan and a dust collector filter in the first flow path; a second housing including a second suction port and a second discharge port; a second flow path extending from the second suction port to the second discharge port; a second fan in the second flow path; a light source in the second flow path to radiate ultraviolet rays; and a connection flow path extending from at least a first portion of the first discharge port to the second suction port and configured so that at least a first portion of air discharged from the first discharge port flows into the connection flow path and to the second flow path through the second suction port.
