Air diffuser device for room ventilation with baffle element
The granted patent US12072120B2 describes an innovative air diffuser device designed for effective ventilation in rooms. This device is intended for installation in a ventilation duct opening located in a wall or ceiling. Central to its design is a baffle element that features a unique contour with a central region and a peripheral region. The baffle element is equipped with multiple slits that extend from the central to the peripheral region, allowing for the deviation of airflow in a direction parallel to the wall or ceiling. The baffle's curvature transitions from an inward-facing concavity in the central region to an outward-facing convexity in the peripheral region, enhancing airflow distribution. Additionally, the peripheral edge of the baffle includes radially extending indentations, which can be arranged at regular or irregular intervals, further optimizing airflow dynamics.
The patent also outlines various configurations and features of the air diffuser device. For instance, the peripheral edge can have sawtooth or sinusoidal shapes, and the indentations can vary in depth relative to the baffle's radius. The device may include a mounting element that connects to the baffle, allowing for adjustable positioning. Furthermore, the design accommodates the possibility of multiple baffle elements, with a second baffle positioned upstream of the first, creating a gap that can be adjusted for enhanced airflow management. Overall, the air diffuser device presents a sophisticated solution for improving ventilation efficiency in indoor environments.
