Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] The present application claims the priority of Chinese
patent application No. 201410454164.1 filed on Sep. 5, 2014, the
disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure relates to general-purpose chemical
or physical laboratory equipment, in particular to an air shower
system and a dressing room.
BACKGROUND
[0003] A clean room and an ultra clean room are widely used in an
electronic workshop, a biological pharmacy laboratory, hospital
operation room, chemical laboratory etc. The most important control
indicator of the clean room is the cleanliness. To keep an
excellent cleanliness is the most basic guarantee for the
production and experiment in the clean room.
[0004] Generally, the dressing room is an only entrance for a
relevant user to access the clean room and the relevant user is the
largest pollution source in the clean room. Therefore, it is very
important to control the cleanliness of the relevant user when the
relevant user accesses the clean room through the dressing room. An
air shower room of an air shower system is a necessary channel for
the relevant user in the dressing room to access the clean room. An
air shower effect of the relevant user passing through the air
shower room will directly affect the cleanliness of the clean
room.
[0005] In a traditional air shower room, air passes through a
primary filter, and then is forced into a static pressure box by a
centrifugal fan, and then passes through a high efficiency filter.
After that, the air is forced into a small clean chamber, and then
blown out at a high speed by nozzles on left and right sides to
form a high-speed airflow which blows away the dust attached on the
body of the relevant user and carried items. Then, the air with the
dust is forced into the static pressure box through the small clean
chamber, and repeats the above process.
[0006] In the above process, the air is blown out by the nozzle at
a high speed which can be up to great than 20 m/s and a direction
of the nozzle is fixed. If the air shower time is too long and the
high-speed airflow is blown directly to the body of the relevant
user, the relevant user feels uncomfortable. And the high-speed
airflow is also blown directly to dust-free clothes, which causes
fibers of dust-free clothes to be under a great impact force, which
will destroy the fibrous tissue and reduce a service life of the
dust-free clothe. When the relevant user accesses into clean rooms
with different levels, the requirements are different accordingly.
For example, when accessing into a clean room having an air
cleaning level of more than 1000, a better air shower effect and a
longer air shower time are needed.
[0007] When the relevant users make handover, large numbers of
users gather in the dressing room. When they are changing clothes,
a lot of clothing fiber fragments and dust pollution will be
produced. As a result, the cleanliness degree in the dressing room
is decreased and surfaces of dust-free clothes are polluted.
Therefore, at this time, a better air shower effect is needed when
the user passing through the air shower room. The traditional air
shower system cannot recognize a real-time clean condition of the
dressing room and cannot adjust the air shower effect according to
the clean condition of the dressing room.
SUMMARY
[0008] An object of the present disclosure is to provide an air
shower system, which is able to adjust an air shower effect
according to a pollution condition of a dressing room so as to
ensure a cleanliness of a clean room connected thereto, and a
dressing room.
[0009] In an aspect, the present disclosure provides an air shower
system, including:
[0010] an air shower room for a user to pass therethrough, within
which is provided a nozzle component for jetting air to the

[0012] a controller, connected with the nozzle component and the
particle monitor, respectively, and configured to control a working
time of the nozzle component according to the concentration of
particles in the air outside the air shower room.
[0013] Alternatively, the nozzle component includes:
[0014] a rotating body, which is arranged on a side wall of the air
shower room, rotatable with respect to the side wall and includes a
curved surface protruding from the side wall;
[0015] a nozzle, which is arranged on the curved surface, connected
to an air source, configured to jet air to the user, and able to
rotate, when driven by the rotating body, in a range of 0-180
degree with respect to the side wall;
[0016] wherein the controller is connected to the nozzle and
configured to control the working time of the nozzle component by
controlling an opening and closing of the nozzle.
[0017] Alternatively, the nozzle component further includes an
electric motor, and an output shaft of the electric motor is
connected with the rotating body to drive the rotating body to
rotate.
[0018] Alternatively, the side wall includes a first vertical wall
and a second vertical wall; a channel for the user to pass
therethrough is formed by the first vertical wall and the second
vertical wall; a plurality of the nozzle components is provided on

[0023] In the present disclosure, the particle concentration data
in the dressing room can be sensed and measured at any time. When
large numbers of users gather and change clothes, abundant fibrous
debris accumulate, and then the concentration of particles in the
dressing room will be increased. Therefore, particles on the
surfaces of dust-free clothes stored in the dressing room will be
increased. After the corresponding value is transmitted to the
controller by the particle monitor, the controller will adjust the
air shower time correspondingly according to the predetermined
concentration values of particles, so as to ensure the air shower
effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be further
described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and
examples. The following embodiments are merely used to illustrate
the present disclosure, but not intended to limit the scope of the
present invention.
[0028] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, an air shower system
according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is provided
within a dressing room according to one embodiment of the present
disclosure.
[0029] An interior of the dressing room is divided into a dressing
region 1 and an air shower region 2. An air shower room 20 of the
air shower system is arranged in the air shower region 2, and a
particle monitor 30 of the air shower system is arranged in the
dressing region 1.
[0030] In one embodiment, the air shower system includes:
[0031] an air shower room 20, used for a user to pass therethrough,
within which is provided a nozzle component 40 used for jetting air
to the user;
[0032] a particle monitor 30, arranged outside the air shower room
20 and configured to detect concentration of particles in the air
outside the air shower room 20;
[0033] a controller 10, connected with the nozzle component 40 and
the particle monitor 30, respectively, and configured to control a
working time of the nozzle component 40 according to the
concentration of particles in the air outside the air shower room
20.
[0034] In the present disclosure, the air shower system can detect
in real-time concentration of particles in the air outside the air
shower room 20 by using the particle monitor 30, freely set a
maximum limit value of the concentration of particles according to
a cleaning level of a clean room where the user is going to enter
and then flexibly control the working time of the nozzle component
40 according to the concentration of particles in the air outside
the air shower room 20. For example, when large numbers of users
gather in the dressing room and the concentration of the particles
(dust) is high, the controller 10 controls the working time of the
nozzle component 40 to extend the air shower time; and when the
dressing room is cleaned and the cleanliness is in a good
condition, the air shower time can be adjusted back to a normal
value or correspondingly shortened so as to ensure the air shower
effect.
[0035] As shown in FIG. 2, in the air shower system of the present
disclosure, the nozzle component 40 may include:
[0036] a rotating body 50, which is arranged on a side wall of the
air shower room 20, rotatable with respect to the side wall and
includes a curved surface 51 protruding from the side wall;
[0037] a nozzle 60, which is arranged on the curved surface 51,
connected to an air source, configured to jet air to the user, and
able to rotate, when driven by the rotating body 50, in a range of
0-180 degree with respect to the side wall.
[0038] The controller 10 is connected to the nozzle 60 and
configured to control the working time of the nozzle component 40
by controlling an opening and closing of the nozzle 60.
[0039] Alternatively, the nozzle component 40 may further include
an electric motor 52. An output shaft of the electric motor 52 is
connected with the rotating body 50 to drive the rotating body 50
to rotate. The electric motor 52 is arranged within a static
pressure box 90.
[0040] In the air shower system according to the present
disclosure, the electric motor 52 is arranged within the static
pressure box of the air shower room. The electric motor 52 drives,
through the rotating body 50, the nozzle 60 to rotate in a range of
0-180 degree with respect to the side wall. That is, during the
working process, an angle between an axis of the nozzle 60 and a
surface of the side wall may be in a range of 0-180. Therefore, an
angle at which the nozzle 60 jets air to the user can be changed
continuously, so that a better air shower effect can be achieved.
As a result, the dust particles attached on dust-free clothes worn
by the user can be removed completely by the air shower. Further, a
damage made to the dust-free clothes by the high-speed airflow
blown by the nozzle can be avoided and at the same time, user's
discomfort caused by air blowing directly can be avoided.
[0041] In the air shower system, alternatively, the side wall may
include a first vertical wall 21 and a second vertical wall 22; a
channel 80 for the user to pass therethrough is formed by the first
vertical wall 21 and the second vertical wall 22; a plurality of
the nozzle components 40 is provided on the first vertical wall 2
land the second vertical wall 22 respectively; and each of the
nozzles 60 of the nozzle components 40 on both the first vertical
wall 21 and the second vertical wall 22 points to the channel 80 so
as to jet air to the user in the channel 80.
[0042] Alternatively, the side wall may further include a top wall
23 connecting the first vertical wall 21 and the second vertical
wall 22. The top wall 23 is arranged on top of the channel 80 and
provided with a plurality of the nozzle components 40. Nozzles 60
of the nozzle components 40 on the top wall 23 point to the channel
80 so as to jet air to the user in the channel 80.
[0043] Alternatively, a plurality of grooves is provided in the
first vertical wall 21, the second vertical wall 22 and the top
wall 23, respectively. Each of the rotating bodies 50 of the
plurality of the nozzle components 40 is arranged rotatably within
a corresponding groove. Each curved surface 51 of the rotating
bodies 50 of the plurality of the nozzle components 40 protrudes
towards the channel 80.
[0044] In a traditional air shower room, the air shower time is
fixed, and the nozzle is fixed and un-adjustable during the air
shower process. However, in the air shower system according to the
present disclosure, on one hand, the nozzle 60 is rotatable with
respect to the side wall in a range of 0-180 degree so that the air
shower effect is improved; and on the other hand, the air shower
time can be adjusted automatically by the controller 10. Therefore,
not only the problem of the user's discomfort caused by air blowing
directly is solved, but also the problem that the air shower time
cannot be adjusted automatically according to the pollution
condition of the dressing room is solved.
[0045] Further, the air shower system may have a function of auto
sensing and include an air shower room with a surrounding air
shower. The air shower system can perform the air shower onto the
user and goods carried by the user in a full range and dynamically
and adjust the air shower time according to the cleanliness
condition of the dressing room, so that a better air shower effect
is achieved and the cleanliness of the clean room is ensured.
[0046] Specifically, the air shower system and the dressing room
according to the present disclosure have the following
advantages:
[0047] 1. Excellent air shower effect: compared to the nozzles
having fixed directions, by the nozzles which are rotatable when
driven by the electric motor, a better air shower effect can be
achieved, it is much easier to blow away the dust particles on the
dust-free clothes worn by the user and the user feels more
comfortable, so that the rejection of using the air shower by the
user subjectively can be avoided. And the surround stereo air
shower can also avoid the aging and fracture of fibers on the
dust-free clothes due to high-speed airflow blowing directly.
[0048] 2. Automatic adjustable air shower time: in the present
disclosure, the air shower room is connected to the particle
monitor which can sense and measure the particle concentration data
in the dressing room at any time, when large numbers of user gather
and change clothes, abundant fibrous debris accumulate, and then
the concentration of particles in the dressing room will be
increased. Therefore, particles on the surfaces of dust-free
clothes stored in the dressing room will be increased. After the
corresponding value is transmitted to the controller by the
particle monitor, the controller will adjust the air shower time
correspondingly according to the predetermined concentration values
of particles, so as to ensure the air shower effect.
[0049] The above is only preferred embodiments of the present
disclosure, it should be noted that several improvements and
modifications may be made for a person skilled in the art without
departing from the principle of the present disclosure, and also
should be considered to fall within the protection scope of the
present disclosure.
