Description
Automatic cleaning purification static electricity eliminator for ventilation ducts The present invention relates to an automatic cleaning and purification antistatic device for ventilation ducts, and more specifically, to an automatic cleaning and purification antistatic device for ventilation ducts installed in subway ventilation facilities, underground structures, or large buildings where ventilation is required, which is capable of efficiently removing dust or contaminated air, including ultrafine dust, by preventing static electricity, coarsening ultrafine dust, and performing a strong blowing action. Generally, places such as multi-unit buildings, subway stations, and underground shopping malls require constant supply and exhaust ventilation, so they are equipped with heating, cooling, and ventilation systems. Office spaces or indoor areas equipped with these ventilation systems are often kept sealed to improve heating and cooling efficiency, or they are places where natural ventilation is not smooth. Consequently, as time passes, dust, foreign substances, and odors accumulate in these enclosed indoor spaces, eventually impairing indoor habitability due to poor air quality. Meanwhile, ducts are used as elements that serve as pathways to transport heat, moisture, gas, and dust using air or air as a medium in heating, cooling, or ventilation systems. These ducts are one of the important basic facilities, along with piping, for air conditioning in buildings. Depending on the material, they are classified into galvanized ducts, stainless steel ducts, non-metallic ducts made of PVC or FRP, insulated composite ducts filled with urethane foam or pyrolic foam between thin aluminum plates, flexible ducts formed into corrugated tubes by inserting steel wire spirally between one or two layers of aluminum foil or fiberglass, and fiber ducts made of polyester fabric in the form of long circular or semicircular passages. Depending on the shape, they are classified into square ducts made by bending steel plates into a square shape, and circular ducts used in places where the static pressure inside the duct is high and deformation or vibration must be minimized, or where friction loss in the duct must be minimized in a low airflow range. When such ventilation ducts are used in cooling, heating, or ventilation systems, an exhaust duct for exhausting indoor air to the outside and a supply duct for supplying outdoor air to the inside are connected and installed, and the exhaust duct and the supply duct are respectively connected to an exhaust diffuser and a supply diffuser provided in each room or partitioned space within the room. Meanwhile, when a heating, cooling, or ventilation system is operated for a long time, a large amount of dust enters the exhaust ducts and supply ducts that make up the ventilation ducts and remains in a suspended state, and some of it adheres to the inner walls of the ducts, requiring cleaning; however, it is very difficult to clean and maintain the inside of the ducts thoroughly. In particular, even if outdoor air passes through a filter equipped in the ventilation system and then through the supply duct, the outdoor air contains a large amount of dust, and as fine dust among these cannot be filtered out by a general filter, a large amount of general dust, including fine dust, eventually remains inside the supply duct, some in a suspended state and some attached to the inner wall surface of the duct. In other words, the metal or plastic materials forming the ducts are prone to generating static electricity on their surfaces, which attracts foreign substances, including dust and small particles. Furthermore, metal ducts react with molecules such as oxygen and water to form a thin oxide layer, which is particularly noticeable in dry environments and with dust particles. Such dust and foreign substances accumulate not only on the floor inside the duct but also adhere to the upper and side inner walls; if left unattended for a long period, the attached dust and substances combine with moisture and become fixed, eventually leading to the proliferation of mold and bacteria. This not only continuously deteriorates indoor air quality but also causes problems by reducing exhaust and supply efficiency. Meanwhile, research results show that for about 10 years from 2005 to 2015, fine dust (PM 10) in Korea was influenced by neighboring countries such as China at 48% and caused by domestic factors at 52%, and recently, as the occurrence of ultrafine dust (PM 2.5) has become more frequent, awareness regarding its impact on health is further heightened. Accordingly, on March 20, 2018, the Ministry of Environment announced the “Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on Environment Policy,” which strengthens the daily average standard for ultrafine dust from 50 ug/㎥ to 35 ug/㎥ and the annual average standard from 35 ug/㎥ to 15 ug/㎥, and in the case of subways, it is establishing a real-time fine dust monito
