The air cleaning module 100 is provided with a suction flow path 101 , a filter flow path 102 , an air supply flow path 108 , and a cleaning connection flow path 104 . The air sucked in through the suction flow path 101 flows to the cleaning connection flow path 104 via the filter flow path 102 and the blower flow path 108 .

The air cleaning module 200 is provided with a humidification connection channel 105 , a humidification channel 106 , a discharge channel 107 , and a water supply channel 109 .

The cleaning connection flow path 104 of the air cleaning module 100 and the humidification connection flow path 105 of the air cleaning module 200 are connected only when the air cleaning module 200 is placed in the air cleaning module 100 .

The filtered air supplied through the humidification connection flow path 105 of the air cleaning module 200 is discharged into the room through the humidification flow path 106 and the discharge flow path 107 . The water supply flow path 109 is constructed so as to communicate with the humidification flow path 106, but can only receive water supply without discharging air.

First, each configuration of the air cleaning module 100 will be described.

The base body 110 is composed of an upper body 120 (upper body) and a lower body 130 (lower body). The upper body 120 is laminated on the upper side of the lower body 130, and the upper body 120 and the lower body 130 are assembled.

Air flows into the base body 110 .

The lower body 130 is provided with a suction flow path 101 , a filter flow path 102 , and a blower flow path 108 , and structures for forming the suction flow path 101 , the filter flow path 102 , and the blower flow path 108 are arranged.

A part of the connection flow path 103 is arranged on the upper body 120, and a structure for guiding the filtered air to the air cleaning module 200 and a structure for placing the air cleaning module 200 are arranged.

The base body 110 includes: a lower body 130 for forming an outer shape, and a suction port 111 is formed on the lower side; an upper body 120 for forming an outer shape and being combined with the upper side of the lower body 130 .

The filter assembly 10 is assembled to the base body 110 in a detachable manner.

The filter assembly 10 provides a filtering flow path 102 and performs filtering of external air. The filter assembly 10 has a structure that can be attached and detached in a horizontal direction with respect to the base body 110 . The filter assembly 10 is arranged so as to intersect with the flow direction of the air that is upstream in the vertical direction. The filter assembly 10 slides and moves in the horizontal direction to filter the air flowing upward in the vertical direction. The filter assembly 10 is arranged horizontally, and the filter flow path 102 is formed along the vertical direction.

The filter assembly 10 is slidable in a horizontal direction relative to the base body 110 .

The filter assembly 10 includes: a filter housing 12 disposed inside the lower body 130 for forming a filtering flow path 102; a filter 14 combined with the filter housing 12 in a detachable manner, The air passing through the filter flow path 102 is filtered.

The lower side of the filter housing 12 communicates with the suction flow path 101 , and the upper side communicates with the air supply flow path 108 . The air sucked in through the suction flow path 101 flows through the filter flow path 102 to the ventilation flow path 108 .

One side of the filter case 12 is open in a direction intersecting the filter flow path 102 . The filter 14 can be detachably coupled through the open face of the filter housing 12 . The opening face of the filter housing 12 is formed in the lateral direction. The opening surface of the filter case 12 is arranged on the outer surface of the lower body 130 . Thus, the filter 14 is inserted through the side face of the lower body 130 and is located inside the filter housing 12 . The filter 14 is arranged so as to intersect with the filter flow path 102 , and filters the air passing through the filter flow path 102 .

The filter 14 may be an electric dust filter that traps impurities in the air by electrifying an applied power source. The filter 14 may be formed of a material that traps impurities in the air through a filter member. A variety of structures may be configured in the filter 14 . The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited by the filtering method of the filter 14 or the filtering components of the filter.

The filter flow path 102 is arranged in the same direction as the main flow direction of the humidification and purification device. In this embodiment, the filtering flow path 102 is arranged along the up-down direction, and the air flows in the opposite direction of gravity. That is, the main flow direction of the humidifying and purifying device is formed from the lower side toward the upper side.

A blower unit 20 is arranged on the upper side of the filter case 12 .

The upper side surface of the filter case 12 is formed in an open state, and the air passing through the filter flow path 102 flows to the blower unit 20 .

The air blowing unit 20 generates a flow of air. The air blowing unit 20 is arranged inside the base body 110 to flow air from the lower side to the upper side.

The blower unit 20 includes a blower fan case 150 , a blower motor 22 , and a blower fan 24 . In this embodiment, the blower motor 22 is arranged on the upper side, and the blower fan 24 is arranged on the lower side. The motor shaft of the blower motor 22 is installed downward, and is assembled with the blower fan 24 .

The blower fan case 150 is arranged inside the base body 110 . The blower fan housing 150 provides a flow path for flowing air. The blower motor 22 and the blower fan 24 are arranged in the blower fan case 150 .

The blower fan case 150 is arranged on the upper side of the filter assembly 10 and is arranged on the lower side of the upper body 120 .

The blower fan case 150 forms the blower flow path 108 inside. The ventilation fan 24 is arranged in the ventilation flow path 108 . The air supply flow path 108 connects the filter flow path 102 and the cleaning connection flow path 104 .

The blower fan 24 is a centrifugal fan, which sucks air from the lower side and then discharges the air radially outward. The blower fan 24 blows air radially outward and upward. The outer end of the blower fan 24 is formed toward the upper side in the radial direction.

The blower motor 22 is arranged above the blower fan 24 in order to minimize the contact with the flowing air. The blower motor 22 is provided so as to be covered by the blower fan 24 . The blower motor 22 is not located on the air flow path by the blower fan 24 , and does not cause resistance to the air flowing by the blower fan 24 .

The upper body 120 includes: an upper outer body 128 (upper outer body), used to form the outer shape of the base body 110 and combined with the lower body 130 ; an upper inner body 140 (upper inner body), arranged on the upper outer body 128 Inside, the water tank 300 is inserted into the upper inner main body 140, the upper inner main body 140 provides the connection flow path 103; the air guide 170 (air guide) combines the upper inner main body 140 and the upper outer main body 128 , for guiding the air to the water tank 300 .

Since the upper body 120 separates the connection flow path and the water tank insertion space, the water in the water tank 300 can be minimized to flow into the connection flow path. In particular, since it is divided by the upper inner body, the connection flow path will be located outside the space in which the water is stored, and the inflow of water into the connection flow path can be suppressed.

The upper side of the upper inner body 140 is formed in an open state, and the water tank 300 is inserted into the upper inner body 140 . The upper inner body 140 forms part of the clean connection flow path 104 into which filtered air flows.

The upper inner body 140 is formed with an upper inflow port 121 corresponding to the air cleaning inflow port 31 . The upflow inlet 121 is not an essential structural element. A shape in which the upper body 120 exposes the air cleaning inflow port 31 to the connection flow path 103 is sufficient.

The air guide 170 guides the air supplied through the cleaning connection flow path 104 to the upstream inlet 121 . The air guide 170 collects the air rising along the outer side of the base body 110 to the inner side. The air guide 170 is used to change the flow direction of the air flowing from the lower side to the upper side. However, when the air guide 170 changes the flow direction of the air, its angle is minimized to minimize the flow resistance of the air.

The air guide 170 is formed to cover the outer side of the upper inner body 140 by 360 degrees. The air guide 170 guides the air toward the water tank 300 in all directions of 360 degrees. The air guide 170 collects the air guided along the outer side of the lower body 130 to the inner side, and supplies the air to the water tank 300 . With such a configuration, the flow rate of the air supplied to the water tank 300 can be sufficiently secured.

Therefore, the air guide 170 includes a guide portion 172 formed along the flow direction of the air, and a conversion portion 174 connected to the guide portion 172 to convert the flow direction of the guided air.

The air guide 170 forms the connection flow path 103 .

The guide portion 172 is formed along substantially the same direction as the filter channel 102 , and in this embodiment, the guide portion 172 is formed along the vertical direction. The conversion portion 174 is formed along a direction intersecting the filter flow path 102 , and in this embodiment, the conversion portion 174 is formed along a substantially horizontal direction.

The conversion portion 174 is formed on the upper side of the air guide 170 . The conversion part 174 is preferably connected with the guide part 172 through a curved surface structure.

Even if the conversion portion 174 is formed in the horizontal direction, the air passing through the connection flow path 103 will flow in the substantially inclined upper direction. By forming the connection angle between the connection flow path 103 and the filter flow path 102 to be similar to the straight forward direction, the flow resistance of the air can be reduced.

The lower end of the guide portion 172 is fixed to the upper outer body 128 . The upper end of the conversion portion 174 is fixed to the upper inner body 140 .

A part of the cleaning connection flow path 104 is formed outside the upper inner body 140 . The air guide 170 forms part of the clean connection flow path 104 . The air passing through the cleaning connection flow path 104 flows into the water tank 300 through the upper inflow port 121 and the air cleaning inflow port 31 .

The upper inner body 140 as a whole constitutes a basket shape. The plane section of the upper inner body 140 is formed in a circle, and the cleaning connection flow path 104 is formed in all directions of 360 degrees.

The air guide 170 is a structure for guiding the filtered air to the cleaning connection flow path 104 , and the air guide 170 may not be included according to the embodiment. The air guide 170 is used to combine the upper inner body 140 or the upper outer body 128 .

The air guide 170 is formed to cover the upper inner body 140 . In particular, the air guide 170 is formed so as to cover the upper inflow port 121 for guiding filtered air to the upper inflow port 121 . When viewed from above, the air guide 170 is in the shape of a donut.

In this embodiment, the upper end of the air guide member 170 is in close contact with the upper end of the upper inner body 140 .

When viewed from above, the upper side of the air guide 170 is consistent with the upper side of the upper inner body 140 . In this embodiment, an upper inner body ring 126 (upper inner body ring) is formed on the upper end of the upper inner body 140 to be combined with or closely attached to the air guide 170 .

An inner body extension 148 connecting the upper inner body 140 and the upper inner body ring 126 is formed. A plurality of the inner body extension portions 148 are arranged. An upper inflow port 121 is formed between the inner body extension 148 and the upper inner body ring 126 .

The inner body extension portion 148 is formed corresponding to a bridge portion 380 (bridge). When the water tank 300 is placed, the bridging portion 380 is located inside the inner body extension portion 148 . The inner body extension 148 and the bridging portion 380 overlap each other internally and externally.

The upper end of the air guide member 170 is in close contact with or combined with the upper inner body ring 126 . The lower end of the air guide 170 is in close contact with or combined with the upper outer body 128 .

Thereby, the air flowing through the clean connection flow path 104 between the upper inner body 140 and the upper outer body 128 is guided to the upper inflow inlet 121 .

The diameter of the upper inner body ring 126 is the same as or similar to the diameter of the upper end of the air guide 170 . The air guide 170 is in close contact with the upper inner body ring 126 to prevent leakage of filtered air. The upper inner body ring 126 is disposed inside the air guide 170 .

A handle 129 may be formed on the upper outer body 128 . The air cleaning module 200 is placed on the upper body 120 , and the entire humidifying and purifying device can be lifted through the handle 129 .

The upper inner body 140 has a water tank insertion space 125 formed therein so that the water supply tank 300 can be inserted.

With the upstream inlet 121 as a reference, the cleaning connection flow path 104 is arranged on the outer side, and the water tank insertion space 125 is arranged on the inner side. Air flowing along the clean connection flow path 104 will pass through the upflow inlet 121 . When the water tank 300 is placed in the water tank insertion space 125 , the filtered air passing through the upward flow inlet 121 will flow into the water tank 300 .

In addition, an externally visible body 214 is coupled to the upper side of the upper body 120 .

The external visual body 214 is the structure of the visual body 210 , but is fixed to the upper body 120 in this embodiment. Different from this embodiment, the externally visible body 214 can also be fixed on the air cleaning module 200 . Different from this embodiment, the external visible body 214 is a removable structure.

The externally visible body 214 is fixed on the upper body 120 . In this embodiment, the outer visible body 214 is combined with the upper outer body 128 . The outer visible body 214 and the outer surface of the upper outer body 128 form a continuous surface.

The externally visible body 214 is formed of a material that can see through the inside. The externally visible body 214 may be formed of a transparent or translucent material.

At least one of the air cleaning module 100 or the air cleaning module 200 may be provided with a display module 160 for displaying an action state to a user. In this embodiment, the base 110 is provided with a display module 160 for displaying the operation state of the humidification and purification device to the user.

The display module 160 is arranged inside the externally visible main body 214 . The display module 160 is disposed so as to be in close contact with the inner surface of the externally visible main body 214 . The display module 160 is in the shape of a ring when viewed from above. The water tank 300 is inserted inside the display module 160 .

The display module 160 is supported by the externally visible body 214 . The inner edge of the display module 160 is supported by the upper inner body ring 126 . The display module 160 is located on the upper side of the air guide 170 . The display module 160 and the base connector 260 can be integrally fabricated.

The display module 160 is located on the upper side of the air guide 170 . The display module 160 may be disposed between the upper outer body 128 and the upper inner body 140 . The display module 160 is used to block the space between the upper outer body 128 and the upper inner body 140 , so that the user cannot see between the upper outer body 128 and the upper inner body 140 . In particular, in order to cut off the penetration of water between the upper outer body 128 and the upper inner body 140, the inner and outer sides of the display module 160 are preferably sealed.

The inner side of the display module 160 is supported by the upper inner body 140 , and the outer side is supported by the outer visual body 214 .

In this embodiment, the display 160 is formed in a ring shape. Different from this embodiment, the display 160 may also be formed in an arc shape. The surface of the display 160 is formed of a material that can reflect light, or is coated with a material that can reflect light.

Therefore, in the case that the visible body 210 forms water, the water formed on the visible body 210 can be projected or reflected onto the surface of the display 160 . The same effect is also exhibited in the display 160 under the condition that the water stuck on the visual body 210 flows down.

Such an effect provides visual stimulation to the user, and the user can intuitively recognize that humidification is being performed. The water drop image projected on the display 160 has not only a perceptual effect of providing a refreshing feeling to the user, but also a functional effect of being able to notify the humidification state.

The upper side of the display 160 is formed in an inclined manner. The display 160 is formed to be inclined toward the user side. Thus, it is formed so that the inner side is high and the outer side is low.

The discharge flow path 107 may be disposed between the top cover assembly 230 and the visible body 210 . The discharge flow path 107 may be arranged in at least one of the top cover assembly 230 or the visible body 210 .

In this embodiment, the discharge flow path 107 is formed on the outer edge of the top cover assembly 230 , and the water supply flow path 109 is formed in the inner center of the top cover assembly 230 .

In the humidification and purification apparatus of this embodiment, a power supply is connected to the air cleaning module 100 , and the air cleaning module 200 is supplied to the power supply through the air cleaning module 100 .

Since the air cleaning module 200 is a separable structure relative to the air cleaning module 100, the air cleaning module 100 and the air cleaning module 200 are provided with a separable power supply structure.

Since the air cleaning module 100 and the air cleaning module 200 are assembled in a detachable manner through the upper body 120 , the upper body 120 is provided with a base connector 260 for supplying power to the air cleaning module 200 .

The top cover assembly 230 of the air cleaning module 200 is configured with an operation part and a display that need to be powered. The air cleaning module 200 is provided with a top connector 270 which is detachably connected to the base connector 260 . The top connector 270 is disposed on the top cover assembly 230 .

Thereby, when supplying water, the user can confirm to what extent the water level in the water tank 300 which cannot be seen is reached. By arranging the water level display unit on the moving route of the user's water supply in this way, it is possible to prevent the user from supplying water excessively and to prevent the water tank 300 from overflowing.

The water level display portion is arranged on the top cover assembly 230 . The detachable power supply structure of the top connector 270 and the base connector 260 can effectively constitute the upper water supply.

The water tank 300 is placed on the upper body 120 in a detachable manner. The watering unit 400 is arranged inside the water tank 300 and rotates inside the water tank 300 .

The water tank 300 includes: a water tank main body 320 for storing water; an air cleaning inlet 31 formed on the side of the water tank main body 320; The visual body 210 is combined.

In the present embodiment, the water tank main body 320 is formed in a cylindrical shape with an open upper side. Different from this embodiment, the water tank main body 320 can be formed in various shapes.

The bridge portion 380 is formed to extend upward from the water tank 300 . The bridge portion 380 is used to form the air cleaning inlet 31 . The air cleaning inflow port 31 is formed between the bridge parts 380 .

The air cleaning inflow port 31 is formed on the side surface of the water tank main body 320 . The air cleaning inflow port 31 is formed in all directions of 360 degrees with respect to the water tank main body 320 . The air cleaning inflow port 31 communicates with the humidification connection flow path 105 .

The bridge portion 380 guides the water flowing down from the inner surface of the visible body 210 to the inside of the water tank 300 . By guiding the water falling from the visual body 210, falling water noise can be minimized.

The bridge portion 380 is combined with the lower end of the visual main body 210 .

In this embodiment, the air cleaning inflow port 31 is formed by the structure of the water tank main body 320 . Unlike the present embodiment, the air cleaning inflow port 31 may be formed by arranging the bridge portion 380 on the visible body 210 . In addition, unlike the present embodiment, the air cleaning inlet 31 may be configured by arranging a part of the plurality of bridge parts 380 in the water tank 300 and the rest of the plurality of bridge parts 380 in the visible body 210 . . Also, unlike the present embodiment, the air cleaning inflow port 31 may be formed by a separate structure from the visible body 210 and the water tank 300 . In addition, unlike the present embodiment, the air cleaning inflow port 31 may be formed by forming an opening surface in the visible body 210 , and the air cleaning inflow port 31 may be formed by forming an opening surface in the water tank 300 .

That is, the air cleaning inflow port 31 may be arranged in at least one of the water tank 300 or the visible body 210 . The air cleaning inflow port 31 may be formed by the combination of the water tank 300 and the visible body 210 . The air cleaning inflow port 31 may be arranged between the water tank 300 and the visible body 210 after being arranged in a separate structure from the water tank 300 and the visible body 210 . The air cleaning inflow port 31 may be formed by the combination of the water tank 300 and the visible body 210 .

The air cleaning inflow port 31 is arranged on the side of the air cleaning module 200 and is connected to the humidification flow path 106 . The air cleaning inflow port 31 may communicate with or be connected to the humidification connection flow path 105 .

The watering unit 400 has a function of supplying water to the humidification medium 50 . The watering unit 400 has a function of visualizing the humidification process. The watering unit 400 has the function of presenting a rain scene inside the air cleaning module 200 .

The watering unit 400 rotates a watering housing 800, sucks the water inside the water tank, lifts the sucked water upward, and ejects the lifted water radially outward. The watering unit 400 includes a watering casing 800 that sucks water into the watering casing 800, lifts the sucked water upward, and sprays it radially outward.

In this embodiment, the watering housing 800 is rotated in order to spray water. Unlike the present embodiment, a nozzle may be used instead of the watering housing 800 to spray water. Water can be sprayed from the nozzles to supply water to the humidification medium 50, and can similarly present a rain scene. According to an embodiment, the water may be sprayed from the nozzle and the nozzle may be rotated.

The humidifying medium 50 is wetted by the water sprayed from the watering housing 800 . The water sprayed from the watering housing 800 may be sprayed toward at least one of the visible body 210 or the humidification medium 50 .

The water jetted toward the visual body 210 may present a rain scene. The water sprayed toward the humidification medium 50 is used to humidify the filtered air. After the rain scene is presented by spraying water toward the visible main body 210 , the humidification medium 50 can be wetted by the water flowing down from the visible main body 210 .

In the present embodiment, a plurality of injection ports having different heights are arranged in the watering housing 800 . The water ejected from one of the ejection ports can form droplets on the inner surface of the visual body 210 to present a rain scene, and the water ejected from the other ejection port can wet the humidification medium 50 for humidification.

The watering housing 800 sprays water toward the inner surface of the visible body 210 , and the sprayed water flows down along the inner surface of the visible body 210 . Droplets formed in the form of water droplets are formed on the inner side of the visible body 210 , and the user can see the droplets through the visible body 210 .

In particular, the water flowing down from the visible body 210 wets the humidification medium 50 for humidification. The humidifying medium 50 may be wetted by water sprayed by the watering housing 800 and water flowing down from the visible body.

The visible body 210 is combined with the water tank 300 and is located on the upper side of the water tank 300 . At least a part of the visible body 210 is formed of a material that can see through the interior.

A display module 160 may be disposed outside the visible body 210 . The display module 160 may be combined with one of the visual body 210 or the upper body 120 .

The display module 160 is disposed on the line of sight where the rain scene can be observed. In this embodiment, the display module 160 is disposed on the upper body 120 .

When the air cleaning module 200 is placed, the outer side of the visual body 210 is in close contact with the display module 160 . At least a part of the surface of the display module 160 may be formed of a light-reflecting material, or coated with a light-reflecting material.

The droplets formed on the visible body 210 will also be projected onto the surface of the display module 160 . Thus, the user can observe the movement of the droplets at both the visual body 210 and the display module 160 .

The water tank 300 is formed with an air cleaning inflow port 31 for dredging the air. The air cleaning inflow port 31 is located between the connection flow path 103 and the humidification flow path 106 . The air cleaning inflow port 31 is the outlet of the connection flow path 103 and is the inlet of the humidification flow path 106 .

The filtered air supplied from the air cleaning module 100 flows into the air cleaning module 200 through the air cleaning inflow port 31 .

The humidification medium 50 includes: a water tank humidification medium 51 arranged at the inlet of the humidification flow channel 106 ; and a discharge humidification medium 55 arranged at the outlet of the humidification flow channel 106 . The outlet of the humidification channel 106 and the inlet of the discharge channel 107 are connected to each other. Therefore, the discharge humidification medium 55 may be arranged in the discharge flow path 107 .

Since the connection flow path 103 , the humidification flow path 106 and the discharge flow path 107 are not formed by a structure such as a duct, their boundaries are not easily distinguished. However, when the humidification flow path 106 for realizing humidification is defined as between the water tank humidification medium 51 and the discharge humidification medium 55, the connection flow path 103 and the discharge flow path 107 can be naturally defined.

The connection flow path 103 is defined as a portion between the blower fan housing 150 and the water tank humidifying medium 51 . The discharge flow path 107 is defined as a portion after the humidification medium 55 is discharged.

In this embodiment, the water tank humidification medium 51 is arranged at the air cleaning inlet 31 of the water tank 300 .

The water tank humidifying medium 51 may be located on the same plane as the air cleaning inlet 31, at least one of the outside or the inside. Since the water tank humidification medium 51 is wetted by water for humidification, it is preferably located inside the air cleaning inlet 31 .

The water flowing down after soaking the water tank humidification medium 51 is preferably stored in the water tank 300 . Preferably, it is configured so that the water that flows down after soaking the water tank humidification medium 51 does not flow down to the outside of the water tank 300 .

Thus, the water tank humidification medium 51 provides humidification to the filtered air passing through the air cleaning inlet 31 .

The filtered air is humidified with water naturally evaporated from the humidification medium 50 . The natural evaporation refers to a situation in which water is evaporated without applying additional heat. Natural evaporation will be promoted as the contact with the air increases, the velocity of the air is faster, and the pressure in the air is lower. The natural evaporation is also called natural evaporation.

The humidification medium 50 promotes the natural evaporation of water. In this embodiment, the humidifying medium 50 is soaked in water, but not soaked in the water tank 300 .

Since it is spaced apart from the water stored in the water tank 300 and arranged in a phase-separated manner, even if there is stored water in the water tank 300 , the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the spitting humidification medium 55 are not always in a wet state. That is, only when operating in the humidification mode, the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 are in a wet state, and when operating in the air cleaning mode, the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharging humidifying medium 55 can be kept in a dry state .

The water tank humidification medium 51 covers the air cleaning inflow port 31 , and the air passes through the water tank humidification medium 51 and flows into the water tank 300 .

The discharge humidification medium 55 may be arranged at the outlet of the humidification flow path 106 or the inlet of the discharge flow path 107 .

In this embodiment, the spitting humidification medium 55 is configured to cover the upper portion of the visible main body 210 . The spitting humidification medium 55 is placed on the visible body 210 . Different from the present embodiment, the spitting humidification medium 55 may be combined with the bottom surface of the top cover assembly 230 .

The discharge humidification medium 55 covers the discharge flow path 107 , and the humidified air flows into the discharge flow path 107 after passing through the discharge humidification medium 55 .

Hereinafter, the flow of air will be described with reference to the drawings.

When the blower unit 20 operates, the outside air flows into the inside of the base body 110 through the suction flow path 101 formed on the lower side surface of the base body 110 . The air sucked in through the suction channel 101 moves upward, passes through the air cleaning module 100 and the air cleaning module 200 in sequence during this process, and is discharged to the outside through the discharge flow channel 107 formed on the upper side of the air cleaning module 200 .

The air sucked into the suction flow path 101 passes through the filter flow path 102 of the filter assembly 10, and the filter assembly 10 filters the outside air.

The air passing through the filter flow path 102 flows to the connection flow path 103 through the blower unit 20 . The air passing through the filter flow path 102 flows into the ventilation flow path 108 .

The filtered air flows toward the cleaning connection flow path 104 after being pressed by the blower fan 24 in the ventilation flow path 108 .

The air blowing unit 20 is arranged after the filter flow path 102, and therefore pressurizes and blows the filtered air. By arranging the filter assembly 10 and the blower unit 20 in a front-to-back relationship, it is possible to minimize the adhering of impurities such as dust to the blower fan 24 .

When the blower unit 20 is arranged before the filter flow path 102 , the outside air comes into contact with the blower fan 24 first, thereby increasing the possibility of foreign matter adhering to the blower fan 24 . When the blower fan 24 is contaminated with impurities, the user needs to periodically clean the blower fan 24 , and it is necessary to provide a structure for cleaning the blower fan 24 .

The air blowing unit 20 of the present embodiment blows the filtered air from which impurities in the air are separated, so there is no need to perform additional cleaning.

Furthermore, since the ventilation unit 20 is arranged before the humidification flow path 106 , it is possible to minimize the adhesion of moisture to the surface of the ventilation fan 24 . When the humidified moisture adheres to the surface of the blower fan 24 , there is a high possibility of occurrence of foreign matter adhesion, mold, or the like.

Since the air blowing unit 20 is disposed after the filtering flow path 102 and before the humidifying flow path 106 , the pollution of the air blowing unit 20 can be minimized.

The connection flow path 103 includes a cleaning connection flow path 104 formed in the air cleaning module 100 and a humidification connection flow path 105 formed in the air cleaning module 200 .

When the air cleaning module 200 is placed on the upper body 120 , the cleaning connection flow path 104 and the humidification connection flow path 105 are connected. When the air cleaning module 200 is in a separated state, the cleaning connection flow path 104 and the humidification connection flow path 105 are exposed to the outside.

The cleaning connection flow path 104 may be formed on the upper body 120 , and the humidification connection flow path 105 may be formed on the air cleaning module 200 .

The cleaning connection flow path 104 and the humidification connection flow path 105 can be formed in the form of pipes to form a clear flow path. In the present embodiment, the connecting flow paths 103 are distributed in the structure of the upper body 120 and the structure of the water tank 300 .

The connection flow path 103 may be formed by a structure such as a pipe. However, when air is supplied to the inside of the water tank 300 through a structure such as a pipe, the flow resistance due to the pipe is greatly generated, and it is difficult to ensure a sufficient flow rate. When the flow rate supplied to the water tank 300 is restricted, it is necessary to increase the RPM of the blower fan 24, and the power consumption and noise caused by this increase.

In the present embodiment, the connecting flow path 103 supplies air to the water tank 300 in all directions of 360 degrees, whereby a sufficient flow rate can be ensured.

The filtered air that has passed through the ventilation flow path 108 flows to the clean connection flow path 104 formed in the upper body 120 . The cleaning connection flow path 104 of the upper body 120 is provided with an air guide 170 which minimizes the change of the flow direction of the filtered air, and the air guide 170 minimizes the connection angle of the flowing filtered air.

In the present embodiment, since the upper inner body 140 for forming the water tank insertion space 125 is disposed on the upper body 120, the cleaning connection flow path 104 and the air cleaning inlet 31 are directly connected.

Different from this embodiment, in the case that the height of the upper inner body 140 is short or absent, the outer side wall of the water tank 300 will provide the humidification connection flow path 105 . That is, in the case where there is only the bottom surface 141 of the upper inner body 140 without the side wall, the humidifying connection flow path 105 is provided outside the side wall of the water tank 300, and the cleaning connection flow path 104 is provided inside the air guide 170. When the water tank 300 is placed on the bottom surface 141 , the connection channel 103 is connected.

In the present embodiment, the filtered air for cleaning the connecting flow path 104 passes through the upstream inlet 121 and the air cleaning inlet 31 in sequence, then passes through the water tank humidifying medium 51 and flows to the humidifying flow path 106 .

The humidification flow path 106 is a section for supplying moisture to the filtered air. In this embodiment, the humidification flow path 106 is a flow path or space from the humidification medium 51 in the water tank to the discharge humidification medium 55 .

In the humidification flow path 106, humidification is realized through various paths.

First, when the filtered air passes through the humidification medium 51 in the water tank, the moisture in the humidification medium 51 in the water tank evaporates naturally, and can supply moisture to the filtered air.

Second, the water droplets scattered from the watering unit 400 can supply moisture to the filtered air.

Third, humidification can be achieved by utilizing the water evaporated from the water tank 300 .

Fourth, in the process that the filtered air passes through the ejected humidification medium 55, the water soaked in the ejected humidification medium 55 is naturally evaporated, and moisture can be supplied to the filtered air.

As described above, when the filtered air passes through the humidification flow path 106, moisture can be supplied through various paths.

In addition, the air passing through the discharge humidification medium 55 is exposed to the outside through the discharge flow path 107 .

The filtered and humidified air is discharged through the discharge flow path 107 . The discharge flow path 107 discharges air in all directions of 360 degrees with respect to the upper side and the inclined direction.

The visible body 210 constituting the water tank 300 will be described.

In this embodiment, the visible body 210 and the water tank 300 are produced separately, but they may also be produced in an integral manner different from this embodiment. The visual body 210 may be a separate structure from the water tank 300 , or may be a structure included in the water tank 300 .

The visible body 210 is formed of a transparent material or a translucent material, and the user can see through the inside of the visible body 210 . The user can confirm the action state inside the water tank 300 through the visual body 210 .

The visible main body 210 is fixed to the water tank 300 and is integrated. In this embodiment, the visible main body 210 is located at the upper part of the water tank and is combined with the upper side of the water tank 300 . The air flowing into the water tank 300 through the air cleaning inflow port 31 flows upward along the visual body 210 .

The visible body 210 and the water tank 300 form a continuous surface, and minimize the resistance of the air.

The outer visible body 214 described above is arranged on the radially outer side of the visible body 210 . Unlike the present embodiment, the externally visible body 214 may be omitted. In this embodiment, the visible body 210 can be used as an inner visible body.

The upper and lower sides of the visible main body 210 are formed in an open state. In this embodiment, the upper opening surface of the visual main body 210 is formed wider than the lower opening surface. The side surface 216 of the visual body 210 is formed in an inclined manner.

The visible body 210 is formed in a funnel shape. The visual body 210 is inserted into the inner side of the outer visual body 214 . The externally visible main body 214 is in a state of being fixed on the base body 110 , and the externally visible main body 210 is inserted into the inside of the externally visible main body 214 . The upper end of the visible main body 210 is in close contact with the upper end of the outer visible main body 214 .

The visual body 210 is configured with a water reservoir for temporarily storing water. In this embodiment, the visible main body 210 includes: an upper water reservoir 220, which is arranged on the inner side and is used for temporarily storing water; underside.

The visible body 210 may have only one water reservoir, or more than three. The water stored in the water reservoir moves downward under the action of gravity after being temporarily stored. The water supplied from the upper side can be prevented from rapidly flowing to the lower side by the water reservoir. When too much water flows downward, the risk of water leakage through the air cleaning inflow port 31 increases. In addition, when too much water flows downward, excessive falling water noise occurs on the water surface of the water tank 300 .

The upper reservoir 220 is located on the lower side of the top cover assembly 230 . The top cover assembly 230 may be placed in the upper reservoir 220 in a detachable manner.

The upper reservoir 220 is formed with an upper storage space 225 for temporarily storing water, and the lower reservoir 240 is formed with a lower storage space 245 for temporarily storing water.

The upper storage space 225 is formed by the visible body 210 , the reservoir base 223 , and the reservoir wall 222 . The lower storage space 245 is also formed by the visible body 210 , the reservoir base 243 , and the reservoir wall 242 .

The reservoir bases 223 and 243 are formed so as to protrude inward on the side surface 216 of the visible body 210 .

The reservoir walls 222 and 242 are formed at the inner ends of the reservoir bases 223 and 243 so as to protrude upward.

In this embodiment, a plurality of reservoir walls 222 and 242 are formed, and reservoir openings 224 and 244 may be arranged between the reservoir walls 222 and 242 .

The water temporarily stored can flow downward through the reservoir openings 224 and 244 .

In this embodiment, the reservoir openings 224 and 244 are formed in an open state toward the inside. Unlike the present embodiment, the reservoir openings 224 and 244 may be formed in an open state downward. In this case, the reservoir openings 224 and 244 are formed on the reservoir bases 223 and 243 .

The flow of water through the visual body 210 will be described.

First, when the top cover assembly 230 performs the upper water supply, the water drops to the humidification channel 106 through the water supply channel 109 . When the upper water supply is performed, the overflowed water in the top cover assembly 230 can flow to the upper water reservoir 220 .

The water temporarily stored in the upper reservoir 220 flows along the upper storage space 225 , and then flows into the inner side of the visible body 210 through the upper reservoir opening 224 . The water flowing down along the inner side surface 216 of the visible body 210 is temporarily stored in the lower reservoir 240 .

After the water stored in the lower reservoir 240 flows along the lower storage space 245 , it flows to the bridge portion 380 through the lower reservoir opening 244 . The water flowing to the bridge portion 380 flows downward along the bridge space 385 , and is then stored in the water tank 300 .

As described above, the upper water reservoir 220 , the side surface 216 of the visible main body 210 , the lower water reservoir 240 , and the bridge portion 380 provide a water-fall prevention flow path that allows water to flow down. The water drop prevention flow path is a structure for preventing water from falling directly to the water surface of the water tank 300 .

The upper water reservoir 220 , the side surface 216 of the visible main body 210 , the lower water reservoir 240 , and the bridge portion 380 for constituting the falling water prevention flow channel continuously guide water.

In particular, the lower reservoir 240 located above the air cleaning inflow port 31 prevents water from falling to the air cleaning inflow port 31 , thereby blocking water leakage through the air cleaning inflow port 31 .

The water in the lower reservoir 240 is guided to the water tank 300 after being dispersed by the plurality of bridging parts 380 . That is, even if a large amount of water flows to a certain side, the water can flow along the lower storage space 245 to buffer the flow, and the flow can be dispersed through the adjacent bridge portion 380 .

In particular, the inner upper frame 1312 of the water tank humidifying medium case 1300 to be described later guides the falling water to the inside of the water tank humidifying medium case 1300 in order to prevent an excessive amount of water from being supplied to the lower water tank 240 .

The water tank humidification medium case 1300 is also provided with the water drop prevention flow path. This will be described in the structure of the water tank humidifying medium case 1300 which will be described later.

The water tank humidification medium housing will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the present embodiment, the casing in which the humidification medium 50 is provided with the water tank humidification medium 51 is defined as the water tank humidification medium casing 1300 .

In this embodiment, the water tank humidification medium 51 is arranged separately from the water stored in the water tank 300 . Since the water tank humidification medium 51 is separated from the water phase, it can be kept in a dry state when the humidification medium is not used.

When the water tank is at a full water level, the lower end of the humidification medium 51 in the water tank is located at a higher position than the water level stored in the water tank 300 .

In addition, the water tank humidification medium case 1300 in which the water tank humidification medium 51 is installed is also arranged separately from the water phase.

In this embodiment, the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 is disposed in the water tank 300 . In particular, the water tank humidification medium case 1300 is arranged inside the air cleaning inlet 31 . In this embodiment, the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 is placed on the visible body 210 and is located inside the water tank 300 .

The water tank humidification medium case 1300 allows the air sucked into the air cleaning inflow port 31 to pass therethrough. The water tank humidification medium 51 humidifies the passing air.

The air passing through the air cleaning inlet 31 flows from the outside of the water tank 300 to the inside of the water tank 300 .

The water tank humidification medium housing 1300 is provided with a water tank humidification medium 51 to provide moisture to the flowing air, and also covers the upper side of the water tank 300 to prevent the water in the water tank 300 from overflowing.

For example, when an external impact is applied, the water stored in the water tank 300 may overflow to the outside of the water tank 300 . For example, when the air cleaning module 200 is moved apart, the water of the water tank 300 may be overflowed. For example, when the base body 110 is inclined, the water in the water tank 300 may overflow to the outside.

In order to prevent such a situation, the water tank humidifying medium case 1300 is closely attached to the upper edge of the water tank 300 , thereby preventing the water in the water tank 300 from overflowing to the outside of the water tank 300 .

In this embodiment, the lower end of the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 is located inside the water tank 300 . The lower end of the water tank humidification medium 51 is also located inside the water tank 300 .

In addition, the lower end of the humidification medium housing 1300 of the water tank may overlap with the upper end of the water tank 300 . The lower end of the humidification medium 51 in the water tank may also overlap with the upper end of the water tank 300 .

The superposition is used to prevent the water in the water tank 300 from flowing out of the air cleaning inflow port 31 . The superposition makes it necessary for the air flowing into the air cleaning inflow port 31 to pass through the water tank humidifying medium 51 .

In this embodiment, both the upper end and the lower end of the water tank humidifying medium 51 are superimposed with the water tank 300 . Both the upper end and the lower end of the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 are superimposed with the water tank 300 .

When the water tank humidification medium casing 1300 is placed on the visible body 210 , the lower end thereof is in close contact with the upper edge of the water tank 300 . Different from this embodiment, the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 can be fastened or combined with the upper end of the water tank 300 to completely cut off water overflow.

The upper end of the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 is located outside the water tank 300 , and the lower end is located inside the water tank 300 . In addition, the upper end of the water tank humidification medium 51 is located outside the water tank 300 , and the lower end is located inside the water tank 300 .

In addition, the upper end of the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 overlaps with the visible body 210 , and the lower end overlaps with the water tank 300 .

When viewed from the front, the outer shape of the water tank humidifying medium housing 1300 is formed in an inclined manner. When viewed from the front, the water tank humidifying medium 51 is formed in an inclined manner.

The water tank humidification medium housing 1300 includes: an inner medium frame 1310, located inside the water tank humidification medium 51, supports the water tank humidification medium 51, and forms an inner medium inflow port 1311 for air to pass through; an outer medium frame 1320, located in the water tank humidification medium 51.
