In addition, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below, but the technical idea of the present invention is not limited or restricted thereto, and of course, it can be modified and implemented in various ways by those skilled in the art.

도 1은 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 에어커튼을 이용한 공기순환장치를 구비한 버스를 도시한 사시도이고, 도 2는 도 1의 측면도이다. Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a bus equipped with an air circulation device using an air curtain according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a side view of Figure 1.

도 1 및 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 에어커튼을 이용한 공기순환장치(100)는, 차량 외부의 공기를 실내로 공급하도록 차량 전방 상측에 위치한 외부 공기를 흡입하여 차량 실내 상측에 구비된 실내 공기토출부(101)을 통해 토출하는 제1공기유로(110)가 차량의 상측 천장 좌우측에 각각 구비되고, 차량의 하측에는 실내 공기토출부(101)에서 토출된 공기를 흡입하여 배출하는 공기배출유로(130)가 구비된다.As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the air circulation device 100 using an air curtain according to an embodiment of the present invention sucks external air located at the upper front of the vehicle to supply air outside the vehicle to the interior of the vehicle. A first air flow path 110 that is discharged through the indoor air discharge unit 101 provided on the upper side of the interior is provided on the left and right sides of the upper ceiling of the vehicle, and the air discharged from the indoor air discharge unit 101 is disposed on the lower side of the vehicle. An air discharge passage 130 is provided for sucking and discharging air.

본 발명의 실시예에서는, 토출공기가 에어커튼을 형성하도록 제1공기유로(110)상의 일단인 공기토출부(101)에 제1에어커튼부(150)가 설치된다.In an embodiment of the present invention, the first air curtain unit 150 is installed at the air discharge unit 101 at one end of the first air passage 110 so that the discharge air forms an air curtain.

여기서, 제1에어커튼부(150)는 좌석 차량의 길이방향으로 복수개가 좌석 상부의 천장에 구비될 수 있으며, 각각의 제1에어커튼부(150)에는 제1개폐밸브(미도시)가 포함되어 공기 유로를 개폐할 수 있도록 구성될 수 있는데, 이 경우 차량 실내에서 상하방향으로의 에어커튼을 차량 실내의 위치에 따라 선택적으로 형성할 수 있게 된다. Here, a plurality of first air curtain units 150 may be provided on the ceiling above the seats in the longitudinal direction of the seat vehicle, and each first air curtain unit 150 includes a first opening/closing valve (not shown). It can be configured to open and close the air flow path. In this case, an air curtain in the vertical direction can be selectively formed in the vehicle interior according to the position of the vehicle interior.

한편, 본 발명의 에어커튼을 이용한 공기순환장치(100)는 공기유로상에 필터(170)를 설치함으로써 순환되는 공기에 대해서는 공기청정기능을 수행할 수 있게 된다.Meanwhile, the air circulation device 100 using an air curtain of the present invention can perform an air purifying function on the circulated air by installing a filter 170 on the air passage.

이와 같이 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 에어커튼을 이용한 공기순환장치(100)는 차량의 실내 상부에서 토출되는 공기가 실내 하부에서 다시 흡입되며 상하방향으로 다수의 에어커튼을 형성함으로써 차량의 길이방향으로 공기흐름을 차단할 수 있게 된다. 결과적으로, 승객간의 공기로 인한 바이러스, 비말 등의 전파를 방지할 수 있게 된다.In this way, in the air circulation device 100 using an air curtain according to an embodiment of the present invention, the air discharged from the upper part of the vehicle's interior is sucked back in from the lower part of the interior, forming a plurality of air curtains in the vertical direction, thereby forming a plurality of air curtains in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. This allows the air flow to be blocked. As a result, it is possible to prevent the spread of viruses, droplets, etc. through the air between passengers.

본 발명에서 차량 실내의 에어커튼을 형성하기 위해서 상부에서 토출되는 공기는 실내 하부에서 흡입되어야 하는데, 흡입되는 위치는 차량의 바닥면이나 좌석의 하부에 형성될 수 있다. In the present invention, in order to form an air curtain in the vehicle interior, the air discharged from the top must be sucked in from the bottom of the interior, and the suction location can be formed on the floor of the vehicle or under the seat.

일례로, 공기배출유로(130)의 흡입단인 공기 흡입부(103)는, 좌석의 하부 전면에 설치될 수 있다. 이와 같이 배치될 경우, 착석한 승객의 앞에 에어커튼이 형성됨으로써 에어커튼이 자연스럽게 형성될 수 있는 장점이 있다. 차량 바닥면에 공기 흡입부(103)를 설치할 수도 있으나 배출유로를 설치할 공간이 협소하며 오염물질의 유입이 용이한 단점이 있다. For example, the air intake unit 103, which is the intake end of the air discharge passage 130, may be installed on the lower front of the seat. When arranged in this way, there is an advantage that the air curtain can be formed naturally by forming an air curtain in front of the seated passenger. The air intake unit 103 can be installed on the bottom of the vehicle, but it has the disadvantage that the space for installing the discharge passage is small and contaminants can easily enter.

도 3은 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 에어커튼을 이용한 공기순환장치의 측면 구성도이고, 도 4는 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 에어커튼을 이용한 공기순환장치의 평면 구성도이고, 도 5는 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 에어커튼을 이용한 공기순환장치의 구성 블록도이다.Figure 3 is a side configuration diagram of an air circulation device using an air curtain according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is a plan view of an air circulation device using an air curtain according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 5 is a block diagram of an air circulation device using an air curtain according to an embodiment of the present invention.

도 3 내지 도 5를 참조하면, 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 에어커튼을 이용한 공기순환장치(100)는, 승객이 착석한 위치에 선택적으로 에어커튼을 형성하도록 각 좌석(105)에 설치되어 착석자 유무를 검출하는 착석자 센싱부(140) 및 차량 측면방향으로 좌석(105)들 사이에 추가적인 제2공기유로(210)를 더 포함할 수 있다. Referring to Figures 3 to 5, the air circulation device 100 using an air curtain according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed on each seat 105 to selectively form an air curtain at the position where the passenger is seated. It may further include a seated person sensing unit 140 that detects the presence or absence of a seated person, and an additional second air passage 210 between the seats 105 toward the side of the vehicle.

제2공기유로(210)는 실내 공기토출부(101)에 연통되어 차량의 길이방향으로 좌석(105)들 사이의 천장에 구비되는데, 복수개의 제2개폐밸브(251)를 포함하는 제2에어커튼부(250)가 설치됨으로써 좌석(105)들 사이에 특정위치에 선택적인 에어커튼을 형성할 수 있게 된다. The second air passage 210 is connected to the indoor air discharge unit 101 and is provided on the ceiling between the seats 105 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The second air passage 210 includes a plurality of second opening and closing valves 251. By installing the curtain unit 250, it is possible to form a selective air curtain at a specific location between the seats 105.

또한, 좌석(105)들 사이에 에어커튼을 형성하기 위해서 제2에어커튼부(250)에서 토출되는 공기를 흡입하도록 좌석(105)의 하부 측면에는 제2공기흡입부(미도시)를 포함할 수 있다. 제2공기흡입부(미도시)의 경우도 차량 바닥면에 형성될 수도 있지만, 제1공기흡입부와 동일한 이유로 좌석(105)의 하부 측면에 형성되는 것이 보다 바람직하다.In addition, in order to form an air curtain between the seats 105, a second air intake unit (not shown) may be included on the lower side of the seat 105 to suck in the air discharged from the second air curtain unit 250. You can. Although the second air intake unit (not shown) may be formed on the bottom of the vehicle, it is more preferable to form the second air intake unit on the lower side of the seat 105 for the same reason as the first air intake unit.

여기서, 제2에어커튼부(250)의 위치는 좌석(105)들 사이에 설치될 수 있는데, 측면 방향으로 제1에어커튼부(150)와 나란하게 배치될 수 있지만, 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이 어긋나게 배치될 수도 있다. 이 경우, 제1에어커튼부(150)에서 토출되는 공기 유동과의 간섭을 줄이는 장점이 있다.Here, the position of the second air curtain unit 250 may be installed between the seats 105, and may be arranged side by side with the first air curtain unit 150, as shown in FIG. 4. They may be placed misaligned together. In this case, there is an advantage in reducing interference with the air flow discharged from the first air curtain unit 150.
