Abstract

To include the two key parameters of circulating air volume and instantaneous ultraviolet illuminance, as well as the minor influencing factors such as temperature, humidity, comings and goings of personnel and other parameters into the scope of conventional monitoring, and monitor and alarm each parameter, the key problem is to design the data transmission of sensors of existing products and debug the network management system, and solve every problem in the research process through the cycle of experiment-trial-experiment. The specific functions of a single instrument and system software can be achieved by solving the key links such as type selection of various sensors, circuit interface, guarantee measures for measurement accuracy of various parameters, research and development of networked air disinfection management system software, design of WiFi interface, cost control of single machine and system and so on. And ultraviolet luminance sensors can be used to monitor the ultraviolet intensity in the machine in real time, and monitor 7 parameters, including circulating air volume, ozone concentration, comings and goings of personnel, temperature, humidity and leaked ultraviolet intensity.
