Abstract

Provided is an eco-friendly heliostat odor removal system, including: a solar cell which collects sunlight to generate electricity; an effective microorganism activation and cultivation box which purifies inflow contaminated air using an effective microorganism cultivation solution accommodated in a housing; a sunlight tracker which rotates or moves the solar cell to track the sun in accordance with an altitude of the sun; a controller which controls the effective microorganism activation and cultivation box and the sunlight tracker; and a battery storing unit which stores the electricity generated in the solar cell. Therefore, the power is supplied in an eco-friendly manner using solar heat energy and contaminated air is efficiently removed from industrial sites or a region where other odor is continuously generated by the effective microorganism cultivation solution.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An eco-friendly heliostat odor removal system, comprising:
a solar cell which collects sunlight to generate electricity;
a microorganism activation and cultivation box which purifies inflow contaminated air using a microorganism cultivation solution;
a sunlight tracker which rotates or moves the solar cell to track the sun in accordance with an altitude of the sun;
a controller which controls the microorganism activation and cultivation box and the sunlight tracker; and
a battery storing unit which stores the electricity generated in the solar cell, wherein the microorganism activation and cultivation box includes:
a housing which is filled with the microorganism cultivation solution;
an air inflow unit which is located at a bottom in the housing to flow the contaminated air therein;
a contaminated air purifying unit in which a plurality of porous baffles spaced apart from each other at a regular interval at an upper edge of the air inflow unit is formed;
a cylinder filter which is formed by a multi-stage disk located at an upper edge of the contaminated air purifying unit to adhere or adsorb impurities formed by dissolved contaminated air; and
a discharging unit which outwardly discharges air generated at the upper edge of the housing.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein when an internal temperature of the microorganism activation and cultivation box is higher than an effective temperature range, the controller adjusts the microorganism activation and cultivation box by an air cooling method to be within the effective temperature range and when the internal temperature of the microorganism activation and cultivation box is lower than the effective temperature range, the controller heats the microorganism activation and cultivation box to increase the internal temperature to be adjusted within the effective temperature range.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the controller flows air in the microorganism activation and cultivation box through an air compressing pump to maintain the effective temperature range by the air cooling method and heats the microorganism activation and cultivation box through a planar heating element to maintain the effective temperature range.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein in the air inflow unit, an inflow plate in which a plurality of pores is formed at an upper edge thereof to move the inflow air to the contaminated air purifying unit is provided.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the air inflow unit flows external contaminated air therein using a submerged pump which is connected to an inlet which is formed at a lower side of the housing to be provided in the housing.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cylinder filter includes:
a rotating rod formed at an upper edge of the housing;
a plurality of circular disks which is fixed around the rotating rod as a central axis and spaced apart from each other at a regular interval along the rotating rod; and
a motor which is connected to the rotating rod to be provided outside the housing and rotates the rotating rod.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller interworks a setting time in accordance with a timer setting with a position of the sun at that time to control the sunlight tracker.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the sunlight tracker includes:
a support which supports the solar cell;
a base which fixes the support to a stable mechanism; and
a sunlight tracking motor which moves the solar cell at an X axis and a Y axis along a movement passage of the sunlight with respect to an axis of the support.
