Description

{Smoking booth capable of self-purification}

The present invention relates to a smoking booth having a self-cleaning function, and more particularly, to a smoking booth having a self-cleaning function that can be used while regenerating the purifying filters by using hot air and collecting and removing tar.

In general, the fact that cigarettes are harmful has become widely known, and now it is a tendency to promote smoking cessation at the level of the public health. Due to the increase in interest in health due to the improvement in quality of life, the smoking rate of adult males in Korea has decreased to 39.6% in 2010, but it has the highest smoking rate among OECD countries. On the other hand, most people have experience of secondhand smoke in homes, offices, restaurants, streets, and many smokers admit that secondhand smoke is damaging others.

Currently, there are legal and institutional regulations on smoking prohibition in public places, but due to the difficulties of practical management / regulation and the low recognition level of smokers, public place smoking is occurring in public. In addition, while smoking cessation areas are expanding, almost all of the public areas are designated as smoking areas in public places, compared to the indoor areas of the buildings, making it impossible to smoke in public places, and there are many difficulties Has come.

Smoking booths are increasingly being introduced as a way to satisfy smokers' smoking needs and to protect non-smokers. That is, by introducing a smoking booth, the smoking needs of the smokers are filled up and the smoking is made in the smoking booth, thereby reducing the damage caused by smoking in the public place.

The smoking booth is usually formed in the form of a box-shaped room isolated from the outside, and the inside of the smoking booth is generally equipped with facilities for purifying the cigarette smoke and exhausting it to the outside. As is widely known, many hazardous substances are contained in cigarette smoke, so they must be purified before they can be ventilated outside. Various kinds of filters are installed in the purification facility. Filters such as metal filters, HEPA filters, etc. are installed basically. Many lamp facilities for purification such as photoplasma lamps are installed to purify the smoke as much as possible . Of course, some of the cleaned parts are returned to the inside of the smoking booth.

However, the conventional smoking booth has a tendency to purify by installing a large number of filters. However, since a large amount of harmful substances are contained in cigarette smoke, it is difficult to maintain the filters because they have to be replaced frequently. The air is not completely cleansed, thereby causing harm to non-smokers.

The objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 5, the smoking booth 100 having a self-adjusting function according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 120, a wall 121, an entrance door 122, (140).

Referring to FIG. 1, the smoking booth 100 according to the present invention is formed in a box shape, and a wall 121 is assembled to the frame 120 to be isolated from the outside, and an entrance door 122 It is a structure that can be installed and accessed by smokers. An exhaust port 142a is formed on a side surface of the smoking booth 100 to exhaust the purified air.

The smoking booth includes cleaning ducts 141 and 142, filters 150 and 160, a heating material (not shown), a microwave emitter 170, and a fan (not shown).

The cleaning ducts 141 and 142 are installed across the ceiling and the side surface. Air and cigarette smoke inside the smoking booth 100 are introduced through the intake port 141b and then purified and exhausted through the exhaust port 142a.

The cleaning ducts 141 and 142 are installed horizontally between the upper part of the ceiling panel 131 and the lid 130 and have a structure vertically extending from the side to the lower side.

The purifying ducts 141 and 142 are composed of a horizontal duct 141 in which the filters 150 and 160 are installed on the ceiling of the smoking booth 100 and a vertical duct 142 extending downward from the end of the horizontal duct 141.

The vertical duct 142 has an outer exhaust port 142a exhausted to the outside and an inner exhaust port 143a exhausted to the inside so that a part of the purified air is regenerated and introduced into the interior. The vertical duct 142 is vertically extended and then branched to form a branch duct 143. The branch duct 143 is formed with the inner exhaust port 143a.

A cover 145 is attached to the inner exhaust port 140a by a hinge 145a and a torsion spring 145b which provides an elastic force to the hinge 145a so that the cover 145 is in close contact with the inner exhaust port 140a. And when the pressure applied to the external exhaust port 142a becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined pressure, the lid 145 is rotated so that the internal exhaust port 143a is opened. Therefore, when suddenly a large amount of high-pressure gas is exhausted for any reason, the internal exhaust port 143a is opened to control the pressure. As a result, it is possible to reduce the fear of strong winds on the pedestrian passing by the smoking booth, and to prevent the strong wind that eventually gives the pedestrian a feeling of unhappiness.

A guide panel 132 is connected to the horizontal duct 141 so that the air sucked through the ceiling panel 131 guides air through at least one set of the filters 150 and 1600.

A plurality of intake ports 141b are formed on the side surface of the horizontal duct 141.

2, the air including the cigarette smoke in the smoking booth 100 is sucked through the suction port 131a of the ceiling panel 131, and then the suction port 141b of the horizontal duct 141 And is sucked through.

The filters 150 and 160 are disposed inside the cleaning ducts 141 and 142 to purify the cigarette smoke. As the filters 150 and 160, a plasma filter and a sterilizing filter can be applied, and various filters such as an antibacterial filter can be applied. Needless to say, such filters 150 and 160 can be replaced by the user's choice.

A heating material (not shown) is installed inside the filters 150 and 160 to heat the filters 150 and 160. As the heating material is heated at a predetermined temperature for a short time, it is adhered to the filters 150 and 160, and the contaminated tar component melts down.

The microwave emitter 170 is fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning duct 141 to heat the heating material. The microwave emitter 170 is intermittently operated for a predetermined time to heat the heating material. Of course, it is possible to operate manually.

The fan is installed inside the air conditioning ducts 141 and 142 to intake and exhaust air. The drawings are not shown in order to avoid complication. The fan rotates at a speed set by the routine motor, and sucks the air inside the smoking booth 100 to purify it, and then provides the fluid pressure to be exhausted.

A tar fan 134 is installed under the cleaning ducts 141 and 142 to collect tar flowing from the filters 150 and 160. Referring to FIG. 3, when the tar is collected in the tar fan 134, the tar fan 134 is separated from the cabinet 133 protruding under the ceiling panel 131 at a predetermined time interval, .

A UV lamp, an ozone lamp, or the like may be installed between the filters 150 and 160 to add functions such as sterilization. In particular, the effect can be maximized through mirror processing on the inside of the duct.

With this configuration, the air including the cigarette smoke inside the smoking booth 100 flows into the space between the ceiling panel 1310 and the lid 130 through the ceiling panel 131.

The introduced air is sucked into the inside of the cleaning duct 141 through the inlet 141b of the cleaning duct 141. At this time, the position where the air is sucked by the guide panel 132 is guided.

The air sucked into the inside of the purifying duct 141 is purified while passing through the filters 150 and 160 one by one.

Thereafter, the air that has passed through the filters 150 and 160 is lowered along the vertical duct 142, and then the air is exhausted to the external exhaust port 142a and the rest is exhausted to the internal exhaust port 143a. Accordingly, a part of the purified air is recycled back into the smoking booth 100.

In addition, at a set time, the microwave emitter 170 is operated, and the heating material is heated to melt the tar adhered to the filters 150 and 160, and the tar is collected in the tar pan 134 .

6 to 12, the frame 20, the wall 21, the access door 22, and the door 22 are formed in the same manner as in the first embodiment. And a purifier 40.

6, the smoking booth 10 according to the present invention is formed in a box shape, and a glass wall body 21 is assembled to the frame 20 so as to be isolated from the outside, Which is a structure in which smokers can enter and exit.

7, the smoking booth 10 is divided into the exhaust part and the inside of the smoking booth 10 by the ceiling panel 31, and an exhaust cover 30 is put on the ceiling panel 31 Thereby securing a space. The ceiling panel 31 is formed with a plurality of intake ports 31a in proportion to the area. The cigarette smoke sucked through the exhaust port by the intake port 31a is sucked and purified by the purifier 40 and then discharged to the outside .

The frame 20, the wall 21, and the door 22 are the same as or similar to the conventional smoking booth 10, and have no technical features other than a design aspect.

The purifier 40 includes a purge case 41, a filter 45, a heating material 47, a microwave emitter 46, an exhaust fan 44, a filter regeneration duct 61, A pan 42, a non-rim cover 48, and a circulating duct 51.

The purge case 41 is configured such that the air inside the smoking booth 10 and the cigarette smoke are introduced through the intake port 41a at the lower end. 10 to 12, the purifying case 41 is formed in a cylindrical shape and has an inlet port 41a through which the air sucked through the inlet port 31a of the ceiling panel 31 flows, . That is, the cigarette smoke flows into the purifying case 31 through the intake port 41a. The air introduced into the purifying case 31 is forcedly drawn into the upper portion by the exhaust fan 44 and then discharged. A screw is formed at the lower end of the purifying case 41 and a screw is formed at the upper end of the tar fan 42 so that the tar fan 42 can be assembled.

Although the purifying case 41 is disposed at the center of the smoking booth 10, it may be changed to another position as required.

The filters 45 are installed so that the air introduced from the lower end of the purifying case 41 passes through and is purified. The filters 45 may be installed to cover the filter 45 used in the prior art. That is, a metal filter, a HEPA filter, or the like may be installed. Since the cigarette smoke contains many contaminants, even if the filter 45 is replaced with a new filter 45, the efficiency of the filter 45 is rapidly reduced due to the cigarette smoke, and the tar adheres to the filter 45, . In the present invention, the filter 45 is regenerated and the tar is removed through the self-purifying function described later, so that the efficiency of the filter 45 can be maintained for a long time.

Alternatively, the filter may be configured as follows. That is, the filters 45 may be provided so that the air to be conveyed passes through three stages of purification, deodorization, and fragrance supply. In the first stage, three filters are installed to carry out the purification process. That is, the first washable pre-filter 151 can remove large dust, hair, animal hair, dirt dust, and pollen. A second non-woven carbon filter can remove tobacco dust, toilet smell, garbage smell, pet smell, food smell, and the like. Particles of 0.3 탆 in size such as fine dust and fine yellow dust can be removed from the HEPA filter bag 153 by a third order.

The heating material 47 is installed on the filter 45 so that the air that has passed through the filter 45 is heated. Since the heating member 47 is a well-known component heated by the microwave emitter 46, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The microwave emitter 46 is fixed to the outer wall of the purifying case 41 to heat the heating material 47. Heating by the microwave emitter 46 can be accomplished over a short period of time as is well known. Therefore, the microwave emitter 46 operates only for a predetermined time. The operation of the heating member 47 may raise the temperature of the heating member 47 to a high temperature, which may cause a problem such as a fire.

The exhaust fan 44 is installed on the heating material 47 to suck the air inside the smoking booth 10 through the purifying case inlet 41a and exhaust the purified air through the upper end of the purifying case 41 Generate negative pressure. The exhaust fan 44 is rotated by a drive motor 43 fixed to the purge case 41 to generate a fluid flow.

9, the filter regeneration duct 51 is arranged so that a part of the air heated by the heating material 47 is supplied again to the inlet port 41a and circulated to the outside of the purifying case 41 Respectively. The filter regeneration duct 61 is normally opened and closed when the opening / closing door 62 at the outlet thereof is closed and does not operate, but operates to purify the filter itself. At this time, the microwave emitter 46 operates. Therefore, a part of the air heated through the heating material 47 passes through the filter regeneration duct 61, flows into the lower part of the purifying case 41, and circulates. At this time, as the filter 45 is regenerated, the tar melts and flows down.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the tar fan 42 is detachably assembled to the lower end of the purifying case 41 to collect tar that melts and flows down. The tar fan 42 is assembled and disassembled at the lower end of the purifying case 41 by screwing as described above. That is, after the filter cleaning operation, the tar fan 42 is separated from the purifying case 41 and then the tar is cleaned.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the rain cover 40 is installed to prevent rainwater from penetrating the upper portion of the purifying case 41. The rainwater falls to the rain cover 48, falls to the exhaust cover 30, and then falls back to the ground. Of course, the air purified in the purifier 40 passes through the space between the debris cover 48 and the exhaust cover 30 and is exhausted to the outside.

9 to 12, the circulating duct 51 is connected to the outer surface of the purifying case 41 so that a part of the air that has passed through the heating material 47 is supplied again into the smoking booth 10 Respectively. A filter 52, a UV lamp 53, and an ozone lamp 53 are installed at the outlet of the circulation duct 51. That is, the air entering the inside of the smoking booth 10 is cleaned once more.

The interior of the circulating duct 61 is mirror-finished so as to maximally reflect the light from the lamp 53 to maximize air purification efficiency.

A dustproof pad is inserted into the assembled part of the purifier device 40 or the connecting part of the ducts 51 and 61 to minimize the transmission of vibration and noise generated by the exhaust fan 44.

Opening and closing doors 54 and 62 are provided at the outlet of the filter regeneration duct 61 and at the outlet of the circulating duct 51 respectively and the opening and closing operations of the opening and closing doors 54 and 62 are opposite to each other So as to be operated in cooperation with each other. Therefore, purified air can be prevented from entering the smoking booth 10 during the filter regeneration operation. It is needless to say that such an operation can be controlled using a motor for opening and closing the opening and closing doors 54 and 62, or can be manually adjusted.

8 and 9, when smoking is performed by the smokers in the smoking booth 10, the exhaust fan 44 operates and the smoke in the smoking booth 10 and the general air And is then sucked into the exhaust section through the intake port 31a of the ceiling panel 31. [

The air sucked into the exhaust part is mixed in the space and is sucked into the purifying case 41 through the intake port 41a at the lower end of the purifying case 41. [

By the pressure generated by the exhaust fan 44, the cigarette smoke is raised while passing through the filters 45. At this time, most of the pollutants in the cigarette smoke are filtered.

The air purified by the filter (45) is heated by heat exchange while passing through the heating material (47). The heating member 47 is heated by the microwave emitter 46 to a predetermined temperature or higher. That is, the microwave emitter 46 operates intermittently, and the heating material 47 is maintained at a constant temperature by such an intermittent operation.

After the heat exchange with the heating material 47, the heated air passes through the fan 44 and is exhausted to the outside. Since the temperature is higher than the ambient air temperature, the heated air instantly rises and spreads away. Therefore, even if the smell of the cigarette is mixed, since it rises to a high place and then mixes with the surrounding air, there is less concern to spread the cigarette smoke around the smoking booth (10).

In this general operation state, the opening / closing door 62 of the filter regeneration duct 61 is closed, and the opening / closing door 54 of the circulation filter 51 is open. Accordingly, a part of the purified air is supplied into the smoking booth 10 through the circulation filter 51 again. Of course, since it is supplied after passing through the other filter 52, the UV lamp 53 and the ozone lamp 53 before being supplied to the smoking booth 10, purification and sterilization are once again performed, and very clean air is supplied to the smoking booth 10).

When the efficiency of the filter 45 is lowered or the air is not properly cleaned and the air entering the inside of the smoking booth 10 from the circulating duct 51 starts to smell the cigarette, the manager stops using the smoking booth 10 And starts the filter cleaning operation.

The opening / closing door 62 of the filter regeneration duct 61 is opened and at the same time the opening / closing door 54 of the circulating duct 51 is closed. In this state, the exhaust fan 44 and the microwave emitter 46 operate. The air sucked into the purifying case 41 passes through the filter 45 and the heating material 47 and is mostly exhausted as described above but a part of the air is returned to the lower end of the purifying case through the filter regeneration duct 61 I will enter. At this time, since the temperature of the air continuously increases and is very high, it is purified by passing the filter 45 and melting the tar attached to the filter 45 to flow downward.

After the operation for a predetermined time, the power is turned off so as to stop all operations, the tar fan (42) is separated from the purifying case (41), and the tar is washed and discarded. Thereafter, the smoking booth 10 is operated again as usual.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventions. It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.
