About Airo-5G Кондиционер

Airo-5G — компактный кондиционер, созданный для небольших помещений. Airo-5G объединяет в одном корпусе три функции: вентилятор-кондиционер, очиститель и увлажнитель воздуха. Функции выбираются путём изменения положения устройства, а при вертикальной установке все три могут работать одновременно. Полая форма вдохновлена карстовыми пещерами юго-западного Китая. Фильтрующий элемент удаляет из воздуха мелкие частицы. Устройство подключается к интернету, поэтому функции можно обновлять со временем, что снижает потребность в новом оборудовании. Airo-5G подходит для использования дома, в поездках и в офисе.

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.
