The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.
TITLE: PORTABLE MOBILE DISINFECTION DEVICE FOR DISINFECTING A GIVEN FACILITY
Field of Invention
This invention relates to tools and methods for sterilizing living spaces like a room, car or a railway coach and neutralizing viruses in a short span of time. The device also removes PM2.5 matter from the air.
Background of the Invention
People travelling around the world have resulted in the rapid spread of emerging viruses and other diseases. An example of such a disease is found in the rapid spread of SARS Covid-19 which is highly infectious and has a high mortality rate. The spread of such diseases – (specially those spread by airborne viruses) has a tremendous cost to humanity as well as economy. Preferred method to protect humanity from such viruses is vaccination. Vaccines become less effective (or ineffective) with mutations of viruses. Developing a new vaccine takes time and tremendous amount of resources.
Object of the Invention
Our idea is to find a solution that can neutralize any type of virus – more particularly airborne viruses, irrespective of mutations etc.
The first aspect of the present invention is to provide a disinfection method that is safe and simple to maintain.
The Second aspect of the present invention is to provide a disinfecting device that is portable, and can work for several hours without use of external power.
The Third aspect of the present invention is to provide a device that can adjust quantum of sterilizing output based on size of the space, implementing a closed loop control system. Such control system is a must to ensure human safety.
Fourth aspect of the present invention(optional) is to provide a device that can be monitored and controlled remotely using internet.
Fifth aspect of the invention(optional) is to have a capability to monitor a more than 500,000 devices connected to a cloud server and monitored from multiple locations on a single network.
Summary of the Invention
The technical problem solved by the present invention is to destroy the viruses(specially the airborne viruses) without use of any consumables and chemicals in a safe way without causing any hazard to the people present in a given living space.
Present invention provides a portable rechargeable battery operated disinfection device of weight less than 500 grams for disinfecting a given living space. The device generates and disburses controlled quantities of ions and ozone. Ozone concentration is maintained within safe limits as per international standards. Level of disinfection and status of device can be monitored and controlled remotely using internet.
Brief description of the drawings
The method of carrying out the present invention and the structure of the proposed portable mobile disinfection device for being used in the method will be described in more detail below with references to exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings, wherein,
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a portable mobile disinfection device “PD” for disinfecting a living space, according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows an External Sensor Device “ES” system for monitoring and measuring the intensity of one or more of the parameters which will provide the input to “PD” of FIG.1.
FIG.3 shows installation of “PD” and “ES” in a living space “LS”. Portable disinfection device “PD1” is optionally connected to one or more External Sensor Devices “ES1” and “ES2”. “ES1” and “ES2” sense concentration of Ozone in different parts of room and thus help in ensuring a better control on the quantum of disinfection.

Bluetooth mesh devices get connected to Cloud Server “CS” through internet. Remote terminals “RT” get connected to “CS” through internet for monitoring and control of any “LS”.
Detailed description of the Invention
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a portable disinfection device “PD” for disinfecting a given living space. The device has a microcontroller with built in Bluetooth functionality, an ion diffusion unit including an ion+Ozone generator and a blower, a Bluetooth communication module, a plurality of sensors, and a display. A Lithium Ion battery, a charger, voltage regulators to generate voltage suitable for Ion Generator module, ion blower as well as for the microcontroller are provided in one compact housing.
The microcontroller monitors the sensor signals and controls the operation of the of the ion+Ozone generator and blower. Suitable messages may be put on the LCD display or by activating LED indicators.
Microcontroller controls the concentration of Ozone to safe limits by modulating the output of Ion+Ozone generator. Therefore concentration of Ozone will not exceed safe limits irrespective of the size of the space being sanitized.
Fig. 2 shows an External SENSOR DEVICE “ES” for monitoring and measuring the concentration of Ozone which will provide the input to the portable disinfection device “PD” shown in Fig.1. This system works more effectively than the built in Ozone sensor in the “PD”. It is able to sense the distribution of Ozone at any location of the living space “LS”. “ES” is wirelessly connected to “PD” within a range of about 3 to 30 meters.
Portable Disinfection devices “PD” and related external sensor devices “ES” are jointly referred to as Living Space “LS” which is connected to several other “LS” using Bluetooth mesh networking technology- hereafter referred as BLE Mesh technology.
A group of several (can be several thousand) living spaces “LS” are connected together using BLE Mesh technology. These are further connected to the Cloud server “CS” through internet. One server can handle even 500,000 “LS” connections. Cloud Server “CS” can get connected to several remote monitoring terminals “RT”. Remote terminals provide colour coded graphical display of the sanitization status.
