About Airo-5G Función Principal: Aire Acondicionado

Texto do Libro: Airo-5G é un aparello de aire acondicionado compacto deseñado para espazos pequenos. Airo-5G combina tres funcións nun só corpo: ventilador de climatización, purificador e humidificador. As funcións selecciónanse cambiando a colocación da unidade, e as tres poden funcionar xuntas cando a unidade se coloca en posición vertical. A forma oca está inspirada nas covas cársticas do suroeste de China. Un elemento filtrante elimina as partículas finas en suspensión no aire. A unidade conéctase a internet, polo que as funcións pódense actualizar co paso do tempo e requírese menos hardware novo. Airo-5G é axeitado para uso doméstico, en viaxes e na oficina.

Production Technology
Ario's technological innovation lies in the integration of functions and the use of software systems. It adopts the third generation ZigBee Internet of things system, man-machine two-way feedback system and deep learning technology system. Commercially, it provides functional iterations through the Internet membership model, matches the healthy demand for air conditioning, creates a new profit model, and brings users a sustainable and upgraded air conditioning experience.
Design Challenge
The structural design of the three functions is the most difficult. In the limited body space, we need to think about how to scientifically layout the functional hardware to achieve the best structural design effect and meet the aesthetic and functional needs of users.
Research
Airo is launched in the context of 5g technology and carbon neutralization. The main audience is young people. They pay attention to the cost performance of products, are also supporters of the current new trend, and are keen on low-carbon future products. Airo connects to the Internet through intensive function design to realize continuous function upgrading, so as to reduce the waste of resources in hardware production and provide more practical and beautiful situational experience.
Inspiration
The design of Ario is inspired by the karst cave landform in Southwest China, which is my hometown. In the huge underground world there, the stalactites above and below the cave are connected by water. It is like another world, allowing people to breathe rare fresh air and slowly enjoy quiet in the humid air. These intentions become the creative inspiration of this work. The unique shape of hollow hills comes from these cave forms, which convey a strong Chinese aesthetic concept through the dislocation and symmetrical structure.
Project Duration
It was launched in Wuxi Jiangnan University in October 2018, completed in Wuxi Jiangnan University in November 2020 and exhibited in Shanghai in December 2020.
Operation Flow
Airo switches three functions with different placement methods. In the vertical state, it can turn on all functions at the same time. The mobile phone system can input the user's anonymous health information to bring a healthy air conditioning experience. The system reduces the investment in new hardware products, improves the availability of functions, and strengthens the concept of sustainable development of the United Nations.
