[001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[002] Embodiments of the present invention pertain to the realm of ventilation system and, more specifically, to an automatic ventilation system called airvent system that gives flexibility to select between intake and exhaust as per user’s preferences.
[003] DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
[004] Long ago, people lived outside, but then they moved into caves to stay safe. Later on, they built houses to live in. What's interesting is that even when they started living indoors, they made sure to have windows and openings in their houses to let in fresh air, just like when they were outside. This way, they could enjoy the comfort of being indoors while still getting the benefits of the outside air.
[005] Different types of conventional houses were built by human which are mentioned below:
[006] Traditional Mud Houses: In traditional mud houses, natural ventilation played a crucial role. These houses often had strategically placed small windows, openings, and gaps in the walls to allow air to flow through. These openings helped in cross-ventilation, allowing fresh air to enter from one side and exit from the other, maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.
[007] Brick Houses: Brick houses also utilized natural ventilation but with more organized designs. They featured larger windows and sometimes vents positioned to encourage airflow. Cross-ventilation remained a priority, and some brick houses incorporated features like louvers or adjustable openings to regulate the amount of air coming in.
[008] Concrete Houses: As construction techniques evolved, concrete houses began to incorporate more deliberate ventilation strategies. These houses often have larger, strategically placed windows and sliding glass doors. Natural ventilation might be supplemented with mechanical systems like exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms to ensure proper air circulation.
[009] Modern Homes with Air Conditioning (AC): With the advent of air conditioning, the ventilation dynamics changed. Modern homes equipped with AC systems rely less on natural ventilation for temperature control. Instead, they use sealed windows and insulated walls to keep the conditioned air from escaping. Ventilation in AC homes often focuses on providing fresh air through mechanical systems like air exchange units, which introduce outdoor air and filter it before it circulates indoors.
[0010] The Issue of Ventilation in Modern Homes:
[0011] With the widespread adoption of air conditioning (AC) in contemporary houses, the traditional approach of relying on open ventilation has undergone changes. To address concerns such as mosquito infestations and pest intrusion, homeowners often resort to temporarily closing ventilation openings and fitting them with protective nets. Unfortunately, this solution can lead to the accumulation of dust and debris on these nets. Consequently, in many new houses, the emphasis on air-tightness and the absence of conventional air holes has resulted in reduced natural ventilation, potentially leading to inadequate airflow and ventilation in these modern homes.
[0012] Additionally, another reason for not opening windows is sheer laziness. Residents may neglect to open windows due to a lack of motivation or effort, contributing to the persistence of poor indoor air quality. Prolonged exposure to stagnant air can result in residents inhaling the same CO2, potentially leading to sensations of dizziness and discomfort.
[0013] Furthermore, the changing climate has also played a role in the ventilation issue. Wooden windows, when opened, may sometimes become difficult to close due to bulging caused by shifts in temperature and humidity patterns, which are increasingly influenced by climate change. This can discourage residents from using natural ventilation options effectively.
[0014] Health Concerns: Inadequate ventilation can lead to the accumulation of indoor air pollutants, such as allergens and contaminants, which can exacerbate respiratory problems, allergies, and other health issues. Poor ventilation also hinders the removal of excess humidity, creating conditions conducive to mold and mildew growth, further affecting respiratory health. Proper ventilation is crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment and reducing the risk of health-related complications
[0015] Rooms getting Hotter: Without proper ventilation, hot air tends to accumulate at the top of a room, creating an uncomfortable and increasingly warmer environment.
[0016] Therefore, there is a pressing need to address the above-mentioned problem and the present invention invented- an automatic ventilation system that gives flexibility to select between intake and exhaust as per user’s preferences. It aims to provide a system that is energy-efficient, operates quietly, and seamlessly integrates into any room. Experience year-round comfort with its eco-friendly design and straightforward installation process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0033] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting. While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, it should be understood, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form disclosed, but, on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
[0034] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.
[0035] As used herein, the singular forms “a”, “an”, and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.
[0036] The term “air vent system” or “air ventilation system” signifies the air ventilation system as per the present invention.
[0037] Hot air is less dense than cold air, so it naturally rises to the highest point in a room, this results in the upper levels of a room becoming significantly warmer. In the absence of adequate ventilation, this hot air has no way to escape, leading to a lack of air circulation. As a result, the room becomes stagnant and stuffy. Additionally, if there is heat coming from an adjacent terrace or the roof, it can further contribute to the overall temperature increase in the room, especially if there are inadequate insulation or barriers to prevent heat transfer. Usually, fans are commonly used to cool down rooms, they can inadvertently contribute to the problem of hot air accumulation if there's limited ventilation. When a fan is turned on in a room with poor airflow, it can circulate the hot air that has collected at the top of the room back down into the living space. This can create the illusion of cooling because the air is moving, but it doesn't actually reduce the temperature. In fact, it can make the room feel even warmer due to the circulation of hot air.
[0038] The present invention invented an automatic Ventilation Control System, meticulously engineered to enhance your living space with unmatched comfort and convenience. Figure 1 component view of an automatic ventilation system, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the ventilation system 100 comprising a plurality of fan case 1 & 11 which includes mesh frame 15 wherein the plurality of fan 16 is installed to draw the air from outside into the room or building, the ventilation system includes a plurality of outer case 6 and 7, top inner case 13, bottom inner case 5 to covers the whole components of the ventilation system, the system further includes back lid 10 and front lid 2 with side panels 3 and 14 to assemble the front lid with top inner case 13 and bottom inner case 5, the system further includes plurality of side caps 4 and 12 to fix the side panels 3 and 14 to cover the circuitry of the system from the side views, the system further includes adjuster 8 which is fixed across the cross-sectional area of back frame 9 to adjust the length of the fans inside the adjuster.
[0039] The plurality of fan 16 are connected in series with each other and a motor 17 (not visible) associated to rotate the fan and to control the speed of fan to drawn the air in the other direction i.e. from inside the room or building to the other side by rotating the fan in the other direction or the use of an additional fan to expel any expired or odorous air. The whole components of the ventilation system are fixed with each other by the use of screws, drivers. The motor 17 can be DC or AC. The number of fans can be increased as per the room or building area, volume.

• Health Benefits: Keeping mosquitoes out during their active hours can help reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, which can be a health concern in some regions.
• Noise Reduction: If your device makes noise during operation, automatically closing it during nighttime hours can contribute to a quieter and more restful sleep for users.
• Reduced Wear and Tear: Because the air conditioner operates under less stress when it doesn't need to cool extremely hot indoor air, it may have a longer lifespan and require fewer maintenance and repair costs over time.
• Quick Cooling: Preconditioning the indoor air can result in quicker cooling, which means occupants experience comfort sooner after turning on the AC. This can lead to less reliance on air conditioning and further energy savings.
• Improved Efficiency: By introducing fresh outdoor air, your system can improve the overall efficiency of the indoor environment. People tend to feel more comfortable with fresh air, reducing the need to lower the thermostat excessively.
• Lower Peak Demand Charges: Some utility companies charge higher rates during peak demand periods. Preconditioning the indoor air can help avoid peak demand times, reducing the cost of electricity during those periods.
• Environmental Benefits: Reduced energy consumption also translates into a lower carbon footprint, which is not only financially beneficial but also environmentally responsible.
• Mosquito Control: Closing the device during the times of the day when mosquitoes are most active, typically during the evening and nighttime, can help prevent these pests from entering indoor spaces. This is particularly important for maintaining a comfortable and bug-free environment for users.
