Abstract

An air control system and method using air in an upper zone of the atmosphere are disclosed. An air control system using air in an upper zone of the atmosphere includes: a floating body 11 provided to stay in the upper zone of the atmosphere; air transporting pipes 15a and 15b interlocked with the floating body 11 to transport air in the upper zone of the atmosphere; blowers 22a and 22b mounted below the air transporting pipe 15a and 15b; and an air transporting controller 18 controlling an operation of the blowers 22a and 22b. According to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to implement functions such as cooling, drying, and purifying of the surrounding air, removing mist, or generating clouds through the transport of dry and low-temperature clean air in the upper zone of the atmosphere with a simple structure. In addition, according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to freely adjust a height of air control because there is no need to install a post tower to support an elevating device because it supports the floating body 11 on the ground without the post tower.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An air control system using air in an upper zone of the atmosphere, comprising:
a floating body ( 11 ) provided to stay in the upper zone of the atmosphere;
air transporting pipes ( 15 a ) and ( 15 b ) interlocked with the floating body ( 11 ) to transport air in the upper zone of the atmosphere;
blowers ( 22 a ) and ( 22 b ) mounted below the air transporting pipe ( 15 a ) and ( 15 b );
an air transporting controller ( 18 ) controlling an operation of the blowers ( 22 a ) and ( 22 b );
a gas regulator to control an amount of internal gas of the floating body ( 11 );
a floating height adjuster to control a floating height of the floating body ( 11 ) through the air transporting controller ( 18 ),
wherein
the floating height adjuster ( 23 ) includes
a fixed floating body wire ( 13 ) connected to limit the floating height of the floating body ( 11 ); and
a floating body power source ( 19 ) provided at an end of the fixed floating body wire and providing power to wind or unwind the fixed floating body wire, and
wherein
the air transporting pipes ( 15 a ) and ( 15 b ) are provided with a female thread air transporting pipe ( 15 c ) having a female thread type of fastening structure at an upper portion thereof and a male thread air transporting pipe ( 15 d ) having a male thread type of fastening structure at a lower structure thereof.

2. The air control system using the air in the upper zone of the atmosphere of claim 1 , further comprising
an air measuring device ( 12 ) measuring air quality in the upper zone of the atmosphere,
wherein the air transporting controller controls the blowers ( 22 a ) and ( 22 b ) in response to the air quality.

3. The air control system using the air in the upper zone of the atmosphere of claim 1 , wherein
air inflow parts ( 14 a ) and ( 14 b ) into which the air flows are formed at upper portions of the air transporting pipes ( 15 a ) and ( 15 b ), and
air discharging parts ( 16 a ) and ( 16 b ) from which the air is discharged are formed at lower portions of the air transporting pipes ( 15 a ) and ( 15 b ).

4. The air control system using the air in the upper zone of the atmosphere of claim 1 , further comprising
a controller ( 21 ) receiving an input of operator's selection, wherein the air transporting controller ( 18 ) operates according to selection of the controller ( 21 ).

5. The air control system using the air in the upper zone of the atmosphere of claim 1 , further comprising
a heat insulator that insulates the air transporting pipes ( 15 a ) and ( 15 b ).

6. A method implemented by the air control system using the air in the upper zone of the atmosphere of claim 1 ,
wherein, by using the air in the upper zone of the atmosphere, air control functions including cooling, drying, air-purifying, mist-removing, or cloud-generating in an air discharging area of the air transporting pipe are implemented.
