DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the field of mechanical engineering. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to air distribution apparatus and method thereof.

BACKGROUND
In the digital era, the field of augmented reality (AR) has grown significantly, providing a wide array of applications across diverse industries including gaming, healthcare, retail, and education. AR technology overlays computer-generated images on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view that augments the real environment. This exciting field hinges on the balance between user interaction and software technology, with a crucial element being the design of user interfaces. It is necessary to craft interfaces that not only facilitate interaction with the virtual elements but also do not obstruct the view of the real environment. Existing systems often require the user to manipulate physical elements in the real world to control virtual objects, which may be inconvenient or interrupt the flow of the user's interaction with the virtual environment. Additionally, the lack of haptic feedback, when interacting with virtual objects, often reduces the user's immersion experience. Consequently, there is a persistent need for more sophisticated AR technologies, which can seamlessly integrate the real and virtual environments, thereby enhancing the user's overall experience.
In the current art, air distribution systems within Electric Multiple Units (EMUs) display several limitations. Generally, these systems don't disseminate conditioned air with uniform efficiency across the interior, leading to inadequate climate control. Disparity in temperature may cause discomfort to passengers. There is also a concern of equipment overheating due to lack of efficient cooling. Furthermore, most existing systems produce considerable noise during operation, which can be disruptive and detrimental to passenger experience. The efficiency of such systems in relation to energy consumption has not reached an optimal level, often leading to excess energy usage.

Given these challenges, it is apparent that an enhanced solution is necessary. An air distribution apparatus that ensures even distribution of conditioned air would improve passenger comfort, safeguard equipment, and reduce noise levels. This invention would also need to improve energy efficiency, thus promoting an environmentally responsible approach to air conditioning within EMUs.
Hence, there is a need to develop an air distribution apparatus that allows proper circulation of conditioned air throughout the Electric Multiple Unit to ensure passenger comfort as well as equipment safety while minimizing the noise generated as a consequence of the circulation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
As mentioned before, there is a need to develop an air distribution apparatus that allows proper circulation of conditioned air throughout the Electric Multiple Unit to ensure passenger comfort as well as equipment safety while minimizing the noise generated as a consequence of the circulation. The present disclosure therefore provides an air distribution apparatus. The present disclosure is an apparatus designed to deliver uniformly distributed conditioned air throughout the Electric Multiple Unit to passengers and electronics of the Electric Multiple Unit while minimizing the noise generated in distribution of air. The apparatus comprises a plurality of air distribution boxes equipped with an array of openings strategically placed to facilitate the even distribution of air.
Inside each air distribution box is placed a plurality of partition plates to eliminate turbulence and recirculation of air. The partition plates, adapted based on the length of the air distribution box, work in conjunction with the array of openings in the air distribution boxes to ensure uniform distribution of air. A noise reduction cone, positioned at the first end of the apparatus, against the direction of air flow, minimizes turbulence and noise associated with air flow. An end plate is installed at the second end of the apparatus to terminate air flow.
The air distribution apparatus is designed for integration with existing Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. This compatibility allows easy installation and maintenance without having to significantly modify existing systems. The apparatus is devised to gradually increase or decrease pressure and flow of air and maintain optimum oxygen levels. The air distribution apparatus overcomes the limitations of existing technology and provides an efficient solution for uniform air distribution in Electric Multiple Units.
Figure 1 illustrates top view of the air distribution apparatus (100), in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. It discloses a plurality of air distribution boxes (102) housing partition plates (104), and an end plate (110) positioned at second end of the air distribution apparatus (100). Air passes through the air distribution boxes (102) so that conditioned air is uniformly distributed throughout the Electric Multiple Unit.
Figure 2 illustrates an isometric view of the air distribution apparatus (100), in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, designed to distribute conditioned air uniformly. It discloses the air distribution boxes (100) with arrays of openings and containing partition plates (104). The air distribution apparatus (100) is designed with arrays of openings and a noise reduction cone (106) at one end to minimize noise generated. The air distribution boxes (102) are constructed using aluminum material to ensure minimal weight of the assembly. The aluminum is anodized to provide surface protection to the air distribution boxes (102).
Figure 3 illustrates front view of the air distribution apparatus (100), in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. It discloses the air distribution boxes (102) containing arrays of openings and partition plates (104). Depending on the length of the Electric Multiple Unit, length of air distribution boxes and total number of partition plates are decided. A CFD analysis is conducted on air distribution boxes to evaluate the required performance of the air distribution apparatus.
The present invention is an air distribution apparatus (100) designed for Electric Multiple Units (EMUs) to ensure the uniform distribution of conditioned air throughout the unit. It comprises several key components, including air distribution boxes (102), partition plates (104), a noise reduction cone (106), and an end plate (110).
The air distribution boxes (102) are equipped with arrays of strategically placed openings that facilitate even airflow across the unit. These boxes house partition plates (104) that work to eliminate turbulence and prevent the recirculation of air, ensuring a smooth and consistent distribution of conditioned air. The noise reduction cone (106) is positioned at the first end (108) of the apparatus, opposite to the airflow direction, to minimize turbulence and reduce noise associated with air movement. At the opposite end, an end plate (110) is installed to terminate airflow in a controlled manner, preventing backflow and maintaining steady air pressure.
Constructed from lightweight aluminum, the air distribution boxes (102) are anodized for surface protection, which helps reduce the overall weight of the assembly and enhances durability. The apparatus is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing HVAC systems, making it easy to install without significant modifications.
In terms of operation, the air distribution apparatus (100) is designed to maintain optimal oxygen levels while distributing conditioned air uniformly. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is conducted to determine the optimal design and configuration based on the specific dimensions of the Electric Multiple Unit. This ensures that the apparatus meets the performance requirements and enhances passenger comfort by maintaining adequate air quality and minimizing noise levels.
In one embodiment of the present invention, an air distribution apparatus (100) is envisioned for use through Electric Multiple Units (EMU). The central component of this apparatus is an array of air distribution boxes (102). These are designed with varying lengths and equipped with an arrangement of openings configured to distribute conditioned air uniformly throughout the EMU. These boxes also incorporate a series of partition plates (104) positioned within. These plates' role is critical in eliminating air turbulence and recirculation, thus ensuring consistent airflow across the EMU. One of the ends of the air distribution apparatus (100), referred to as the first end (108), accommodates a noise reduction cone (106). This cone is strategically positioned against the direction of airflow and is designed to minimize turbulence-associated noise while preserving effective air delivery. An end plate (110) finds its place at the opposite end, termed the second end (112) of the apparatus. This end plate functions to terminate airflow effectively. It is noteworthy that, in light of the varying lengths of the air distribution boxes (102), the partition plates (104) integrated are adjustable in nature. This lends flexibility and optimizes airflow dynamics within each box.
