Specification

The present invention claims a priority from patent application 202111030884 filed on 09/07/2021.
FIELD OF INVENTION
[02] The present disclosure relates to a purifier system, and is more specifically related to the purifier system and mechanism of purifying impure air.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[03] Since last few decades, there has been observed a huge increment in pollutants and other similar factors deteriorating normal life quality. Again, due to huge transformation of life towards urbanization, it is becoming very difficult to curb such factors degrading normal living parameters of life. Amongst variety of such factors, one of the highly discussed problem lies in air pollution, which is not only spreading outdoors, but has now entered in environment thereby perturbing normal life's comfort. To curb the deterioration of air, the air purifiers have gained a wide popularity.
[04] With an advent of air purification systems and processes, the demand of the air purifiers has seen a drastic increase. Current technologies are focusing towards the air purifiers that are easy to implement and are well suited for domestic as well as industrial applications. [05] The air purified is widely used for removing contaminants from the air for improving air quality. The air purifiers, especially currently, are vital in keeping a check on our health. The air purifiers come with a range of technologies from filtration techniques to advanced purification systems, which help us to breathe in clean air whenever we need. Not only do they purify the air around us, but they also deliver a sense of freshness.
[06] There have been many conventional air purifiers and air purification techniques developed in the past and some of them are used today as well to purify the air. One of the conventional purifiers used today employs filtration up to 0.03-micron particles with a removal efficiency of 99.9 per cent. The major drawback observed in the conventional purifiers used today is that they rely on HEPA filters for the purification, which has to be replaced after its life cycle. It is highly challenging to bio-degrade these filters resulting in a high carbon footprint. Also the structure of these purifiers is very complex, due to which their cost is way

too high and requires more maintenance.
[07] Furthermore, out of available air purifiers, many have been producing satisfactory results in terms of purification, however, such air purifiers may not be affordable by each section of society. Additionally, maintenance has always been a point of concern for all the available purifiers. Hence, the disadvantages of these conventional purifiers as described above makes purifiers more complex, unsustainable and less reliable.

The disclosed embodiments of the purifier system may be merely exemplary of the disclosure, which may be embodied in various forms.
[019] Various modifications to the embodiment will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art and the generic principles herein may be applied to other embodiments. However, one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the present disclosure for the purifier system is not intended to be limited to the embodiment illustrated but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with principles and features described herein.

[020] The disclosure herein provides a purifier system and a mechanism for purifying impure air. The proposed purifier system are plant-based and economic with low maintenance. [021] In accordance with an embodiment, referring to Figure 1 (a), an exploded view of the purifier system (100) is illustrated. The purifier system (100) comprises a means (122) for creating vacuum at an inner section of a first ring (102). The means (122) for creating the vacuum may comprise a fan. The vacuum is created at an outlet of a slit (124) such that vacuum is occupied by an impure air. The first ring (102) is having pots. A bottom ring (106) is covered by a box-like structure. The bottom ring (106) is arranged to house a supporting structure (110) inside the bottom ring (106). The design of the first ring (102) comprises two pots (the first pot and the second pot) joined in an inverted position. The first pot comprises a plant pot (104). The second pot is the bottom ring (106) which is placed below the plant pot (104). [022] In the purifier system (100), the first pot comprises a plant pot (104) and a second pot placed on the bottom ring (106) below the plant pot (104). The first pot and the second pot are joined in an inverted position. The purifier system (100) comprises the first ring (102) which is attached with the plant pot (104). In the proposed purifier system (100), The bottom ring (106) which is positioned below the plant pot (104) is configured to attract the impure air flow path towards the bottom of the plant pot (104) so that the impure air follows a path that is very close to the surface.
[023] In an exemplary embodiment, the bottom ring (106) is a cage like structure. The bottom ring (106) provides support to a plant pot and assures leak proofing to the impure air while the impure air moves from an inlet to an outlet of the purification system. Further, the bottom ring (106) deflects the impure air coming from the inlet towards the plant pot, the plant root thus improving the air purification volume through phytoremediation. Furthermore, the bottom ring (106) acts as port to provide the purified air to the outlet of the purifier system (100) through slits or any other arrangement.
[024] In another exemplary embodiment, the first ring (102) (herein also referred as Falcon Ring) is 10 inch diameter and 3 inches height. The ring is internally joined from the bottom with an inclined ring of angle 74 degree thus making a small opening of 3mm. The top of both the ring is joined through half tube of 0.6-inch diameter. The bottom ring (106) (herein also referred as Magneto) may be a cylindrical cage made by removing rectangular slits from the open cylinder. A height of the bottom ring (106) is 4 inches and the diameter is 7.2 inches. Further, total slits of the bottom ring (106) are 20 and of dimensions 0.79 *0.5 inches. [025] The first pot of the pots is mounted on the bottom ring (106) and is provided with bio filters for purifying the impure air. The bottom ring (106) directs flow of the pure air from the

plant pot while enabling bio-filtration to the bottom ring (106) and then in the outer wooden
box through the means (122) that can be a fan and eventually the purified air is pushed out of
the purifier system(lOO).
[026] In the purifier system (100), the box-like structure comprises an outer wooden box
(116), a plurality of supporting slabs (118), a plurality of display panels (120) and an inner
metal box (112) and a male connector (114) configured for covering the bottom ring (106)
positioned downwards in which the supporting structure (110) is housed inside.
[027] In an exemplary embodiment, the dimension of the outer wooden box (116) is 14inch
*14 inch*29inch and the dimensions may vary by 20 percent in all directions (length, width
and height). The top cover has inlet holes of 4mm diameters. The dimensions of the inner box
are 12inch*12inch *25inch and the dimensions may vary by 20 percent in all directions.
[028] In another exemplary embodiment, the plurality of supporting slabs (118) are used to provide a joint between the inner metal box (112) and the outer wooden box (116) thus making the purifier system (100) as a single body. The plurality of supporting slabs (118) are also used to provide a vacuum between the outer wooden box (116) and the inner metal box (112) and thus avoiding any sort of leakage of the impure air to the outside environment. The dimensions of the supporting slabs (118) are 2inch*2inch*5inches and the dimensions may vary by 20%.
[029] In another exemplary embodiment, the plurality of display panels (120) are a touch panel integrated with a display screen. The activation (ON/OFF) of the purifier system (100) and the effectiveness of the purifier system (100) may be controlled through the touch panel. The Air Quality Index is also displayed on the display screen in a form of colour codes.
[030] In the purifier system (100), after creation of the vacuum at the inner section of the first ring (102) (also referred as Falcon ring), a gush of surrounding impure air occupies said vacuum due to no slip condition at the outlet of a slit (124). Further, in the purifier system (100), a top cover (108) having inlet holes for sucking in the impure air, the top cover (108) is mounted on an upper part of the plant pot (104) to cover a portion of the upper part of the plant pot (104). As an example the top cover has (108) inlet holes of 4mm diameters.
[031] The purifier system (100) is based on the mechanism of increased efficacy of the phytoremediation enabled through the first ring (102) so that the impure air gets deflected towards the plant pot and pollutant particles being heavier gets pulled in towards the plant pots sticks to the surface of the plant pot (104), while it flows down to the bottom ring (106) (also referred as Magneto) and after that through the bio-filters (not shown in the Figures). Such

increase in the stay time of the impure air within the first ring and along the plant pot and increase in the volume of air getting sucked in because of the vacuum creation of the impure air within the first ring (102) and along the plant pot (104) improves the efficiency of the purifier system 100.
[032] In an exemplary embodiment, the bio filters are selected from one of variegated snake plant / mother-in-law's tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata laurentii), English ivy (Hedera helix), Peace lily (Spathiphyllum 'Mauna Loa'), Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema modestum), Bamboo palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii), Red-edged dracaena, marginata (Dracaena marginata), Cornstalk dracaena, mass cane/corn cane (Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana'), Weeping fig (Ficus benjamina), Barberton daisy, gerbera daisy (Gerbera jamesonii), Florist's chrysanthemum, pot mum (Chrysanthemum morifolium), Janet Craig (Dracaena deremensis "Janet Craig"), Warneckei (Dracaena deremensis "Warneckei")
[033] In an exemplary embodiment, the first ring (102) and the bottom ring are made from one of a wood, stone, metal, glass, gemstone or plastic.
[034] In accordance with another embodiment, referring to Figure 1(b) details of the purifier system (100) with a centrifugal fan is disclosed. In the Figure 1(b) the means (122) is the centrifugal fan, which enables the sucking in of the impure air from the top cover (108) through the inlet holes. The impure air after getting purified through the bio-filtration after passing though the magneto or the second pot gets into the inner metal box (112) and eventually moves out in 360 degree direction of the inner metal box (112) through the horizontal slits made all around the outer wooden box (116). As an example, the centrifugal fan configuration is nearly 300CFM for a static pressure of 400 - 500Pa. Further, figure 1 (b) shows, a mounting slot (200), a wiring slot (202), transformer box (204), main wiring slot (206) and transformer (208) which are used for power up the purifier system (100). Plurality of caster wheels (210) are screwed up to the inner metal box (112) for movability.
[035] In accordance with another embodiment, referring to Figure 2, a perspective view of the purifier system (100) is disclosed. Figure 2 particularly illustrates the path of air flow (impure air) around the plant pot (104). The first ring (102) is placed in the vicinity of the plant pot (104) and the plant pot (104) is mounted on the bottom ring (106). The bottom ring (106) is configured to direct the impure air flow towards the bottom of the plant pot (104). The purifier system (100) is provided with the means (124) for creating vacuum at an inner section of the first ring (102), thus making the gush of surrounding impure air to occupy that vacancy due to no slip condition at the outlet of the slit (108).

[036] Further, a conducive pressure drop for suction of huge volume of the impure air is
created due to higher velocity of impure air particles at the inner surface of the first ring (102).
A phenomenon called "Vortex Shedding" happens at the tip of the first ring (102) due to which
further impure air is sucked in from the surrounding, thereby increasing the amount of impure
air inside the first ring (102). The first ring (102) is configured to increase volume of the impure
air inside the purifier system (100) and also increase stay time of the impure air around the
plant pot of the purifier system (100). The purifier system (100) operates on mechanism of
"Vortex Shedding" which refers to providing an oscillating flow of the impure air thereby
making the purifier system (100) more efficient.
[037] Figure 3 illustrates a perspective view of the purifier system (100) as disclosed in Figure
1(a). The bottom ring (106) which is positioned below the plant pot (104) which is configured
to attract the air flow path towards the bottom of the plant pot (104) so that air follows a path
that is very close to the surface. This in turn increases the air-root interaction thus boosting the
"phytoremediation" ("Phytoremediation" refers to living plants to clean up soil, air, and water
contaminated with hazardous contaminants).
[038] Figure 4 illustrates a cross sectional view of the first ring (Falcon ring) (102) used in
the purifier system (100). In the proposed purifier system (100), the first ring (102) is designed
in such a way that the first ring (102) incorporates the "Coanda effect". The Coanda effect is
an effect in which running fluid sticks to the convex surface of the ring. The cross section of
the first ring (102) is similar to an aerofoil structure.
[039] In an exemplary embodiment, the bottom ring (106) is placed below the plant pot (104)
configured for attracting the flow of the impure air towards the bottom of the plant pot (104)
so that the impure air follows a path directing the impure air close to the plant pot (104) surface
thereby allowing spread of purified air in the surrounding.
[040] In accordance with an embodiment, Figure 5 illustrates mechanism (500) for purifying
air executed by the purifier system (100).
[041] At a first step 502: the mechanism (500) provides formation of vacuum, at the inner
section of the first ring (102), thus making a gush of surrounding impure air to occupy that
vacancy due to no slip condition at the outlet of the slit.
[042] At step 504: conducive pressure drop is created by the first ring (102) for suction of
huge volume of the impure air due to higher velocity of air particles at the inner surface of the
first ring (102)
[043] At step 506: volume of the impure air is increased by the first ring (102), at the inner
section of the first ring (102), due to further sucking of air in from the surrounding.

[044] At step 508: the stream of the impure air from the available volume is directed towards
the plant pot (104) by creating a suction pull towards itself. The stream is directed by the bottom
ring (106).
[045] At step 510: the mechanism (500) provides, purification of the impure air by the plant
pot (104) coming indoors upon filtration of the contaminants in the available volume of the
impure air in the inner section of the first ring (102).
[046] The various actions, steps, acts, blocks, or the like in the diagrams may be performed
in the order presented, in a different order or simultaneously. Further, in some embodiments,
some of the actions, acts, blocks, or the like may be omitted, added, modified, skipped, or the
like without departing from the scope of the invention.
[047] The embodiments disclosed herein can be implemented using at least one software
program running on at least one hardware device and performing network management
functions to control the mechanical components.
[048] Exemplary embodiments discussed above may provide certain advantages. Though not
required to practice aspects of the disclosure, the advantages may include those provided by
the following features.
[049] Some embodiments of the purifier system (100) boost phytoremediation process by
increasing the volume of the air that the plant microbiome gets to interact with the air.
[050] Some embodiments of the purifier system (100) improves the natural phytoremediation
process by combining the breathing root process with fluid flow properties.
[051] Some embodiments of the purifier system (100) are to configure due to which the
purifier system (100) is cost effective and requires low maintenance.
