[0021] The present invention relates to an air circulation device that is capable of monitoring the temperature of the surrounding in order to maintain the optimum temperature of the surrounding, thus maintaining appropriate temperature.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an air circulation device is illustrated, comprising a housing 101 positioned on a fixed surface configured with multiple telescopically operated support rods 102, a motorized wheel 103 attached with each of the rod, a water chamber 104 attached underneath the housing 101, a rectangular opening 105 carved on each side faces of the housing 101, a cooling pad 106 is configured with each openings 105, a motor 107 configured in continuation to a cavity crafted on upper face of the housing 101 by means of a holding frame 108, a blade 109 coupled with rotor of the motor 107, a water pump 110 submerged in the water filled in the chamber 104 connected to an elongated receptacle attached just above each pads 106 by means of flexible pipes 111 and a five way pipe connector 112.

[0023] The proposed device includes a housing 101 that is positioned on a ground surface and configured with multiple telescopically operated support rods 102 ranging 4 to 6 that aids in providing support to the housing 101. The telescopically operated support rods 102 are powered by a pneumatic unit that aids in supporting the housing 101. The pneumatic unit comprises of air compressor piston and valve. The air compressor is filled with compressed air that is released to the rods 102 attached with the pneumatic unit for the extraction and retraction of the rods 102. The piston attached to the rods 102 penetrates the compressed air released from the compressor to the link that aids in the extraction and retraction of the rods 102. The valve used herein controls the air released from the piston that is transferred to the rods 102 for the orientation of the rods 102 such as extraction and retraction. The force by the compressed air is converted to the potential energy that drives the orientation of the rods 102 to support the rods 102.

[0024] The telescopically operated support rods 102 are configured with motorized wheel 103 that provides the motion to the housing 101 over the surface in the case of requirement. The motorized wheels 103 are the small disc commonly known as the rollers that are connected to a motor that controls that is interlinked with a microcontroller. Upon actuation, the microcontroller regulates the movement of the motor in order to rotate the roller around the circumference by forming perpendicular to the direction of rotation in order to provide motion to the housing 101.

[0025] In case the user require to move the housing 101 and adjust the height the command is given by the user using a computing unit associated to the device. The computing unit disclosed herein may include mobile or laptop that act as medium to communicate between the device and the user. Based on the user-specified command, the microcontroller operates the functioning of the wheel 103s and the rods 102 that relocate or changes the height of the device.

[0026] The housing 101 comprises of a water chamber 104 that is connected underneath the housing 101 for storing water. Each walls of the housing 101 comprises of a rectangular opening 105 that is configured with a cooling pad 106 that promotes the process of evaporation for the purpose of air cooling. The cooling pads 106 are the thick layer that is made of but not limited to wood wool, cellulose, or honeycomb. These cooling pads 106 absorb the water in the pores to cool the air absorbed from the surrounding.

[0027] The user now require to activate the device manually by pressing a push button associated with the housing 101. The button is type of a switch that is internally connected with the device via multiple circuits that upon pressing by the user, the circuits get closed and starts conduction of electricity that tends to activate the device and vice versa. After activating of the device by the user, the microcontroller, actuates a motor 107 that is connected with a cavity carved on upper face of the housing 101 by the means of a holding frame 108 that aids in the spinning a blade 109 attached to the rotor of the motor 107.

[0028] The motor 107 is an electric device that converts the electrical energy to the mechanical energy that is transferred to rotor of the motor 107 that is coupled with a spinning blade 109. The motion of the rotor rotates the spinning blade 109 that aids in the accumulating of the surrounding air within the housing 101.

[0029] Upon spinning of the blade 109, the microcontroller actuates a water pump 110 that is submerged in the water and connected with an elongated receptacle that is configured just above each of the pads 106. The elongated pipe is connected with the pads 106 by a five-way pipe connector 112 that aids in the extraction of the water from the chamber 104 and deliver to the receptacles. The water pump 110 consist of impeller, piston, vane that displace the air and creates the vacuum that results in the creation of the low pressure to extract the water as the water moves to the lower pressure areas from the chamber 104 to transfer to the cooling pads 106 via the receptacles.

[0030] The extracted water is transferred to the cooling pad 106s by the virtue of multiple pores ranging 4 to 6 carved at the base portion of the receptacles. These transferring of the water, the pads 106 gets wet thus, it gets cooled. The pores are the small opening that allows the passage of the water for the purpose of the cooling of the cooling pads 106.

[0031] After the successful transfer of the water to the cooling pods and the spinning of the blade 109 the cooled air is transferred to a hollow cuboidal box that have a rectangular hole on each side of the lower faces, place over the cavity. The box is configured with a motorized air deflector connected to the holes for circulating the air in all the directions of the surrounding. The motorized air deflector are the collection of multiple elongated flattened rods 102 ranging 8 to 10 that are connected with motorized hinges with the housing 101. On to and fro motion of the hinges, the connected rods 102 moves in the to and fro direction and circulates the air in all parts of the surrounding.

[0032] As the air is circulated in the surrounding, a temperature sensor connected with the housing 101 continuously monitors the temperature of the room. The temperature sensor measures the hotness and coolness of the surrounding by measuring the heat in the surrounding. The sensing element of the temperature sensor measure the resistance of the sensing element and converts it in the form of the electric signal that is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller upon receiving the signal from the microcontroller analyses and detects the temperature of the surrounding, and based on the determined dimension of the surrounding the microcontroller, operates the functioning of the motor 107 that regulates the spinning of the blade 109.

[0033] A battery is installed within the device which is connected to the microcontroller that supplies current to all the electrically powered components that needs an amount of electric power to perform their functions and operation in an efficient manner. The battery utilized here, is generally a dry battery which is made up of Lithium-ion material that gives the device a long-lasting as well as an efficient DC (Direct Current) current which helps every component to function properly in an efficient manner. As the device is battery operated and do not need any electrical voltage for functioning. Hence the presence of battery leads to the portability of the device i.e., user is able to place as well as moves the device from one place to another as per the requirements.

[0034] The present invention works best in the following manner where the housing 101 positioned on the fixed surface with multiple telescopically operated support rods 102 that provides support to the housing 101. The motorized wheel 103 provide movement to the housing 101 over the surface on time of requirement. The water chamber 104 stores the water, wherein the rectangular opening 105 with the cooling pad 106 cools the process through evaporation. The push button enables the user to activate the device, the motor 107 spins the blade 109 coupled with rotor of the motor 107, thus allows surrounding air to enter in the housing 101 via the pad 106s. The water pump 110 submerged in the water filled in the chamber 104 and connected to an elongated receptacle attached just above each pad 106s, by means of flexible pipes 111 and the five way pipe connector 112, extract water from the chamber 104 and deliver water to the the pad 106s via the pores for making the pad 106s wet and when the surrounding air passes by wet pad 106s, then gets cooled.

[0035] Additionally, on rotation of the blade 109, the cooled air is blown in the hollow cuboidal box having rectangular hole on each side and lower faces, wherein multiple motorized air deflector direct the cooled air in each direction in an enclosure. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature of surrounding and in accordance to the determined temperature the motor 107 to regulate spinning speed of the blade 109 is directed to operate.
