Detailed Description

However, the air inlet of the housing is disposed at a side thereof, and the height of the air inlet is limited by the height of the sidewall of the housing and the strength of the housing, resulting in a small height of the air inlet of the housing, and thus a small intake volume of air entering the water tank.

In view of this, the air purifier provided by the invention is provided with the air inlets respectively arranged on the top wall and the side wall of the base shell so as to increase the air inflow of the water tank.

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the invention, but not all embodiments.

Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an air cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a sectional view of the air cleaner of fig. 1. as shown in fig. 1 and 2, an air cleaner includes a base housing 30, a fan (not shown) mounted to the base housing 30, a water tank 10 disposed in the base housing 30, and a water slinger assembly 12 disposed in the water tank 10. The fan can be powered by an external power supply or a storage battery.

The side wall of the base housing 30 is provided with a first air inlet 303, and the top wall of the base housing 30 is provided with a second air inlet 304. The side wall of the water tank 10 is provided with a third air inlet 106 opposite to the first air inlet 303. The water tank 10 is further provided with a second air outlet 107 opposite to the first air outlet 305.

For convenience of description, in the present embodiment, the direction indicated by the arrow X in fig. 1 is taken as left, and the other direction is taken as right; the direction pointed by the arrow Y is front, and the other direction is back; the direction indicated by the arrow Z is up, and the other direction is down.

The above-mentioned "third air inlet 106 is opposite to the first air inlet 303" means that the third air inlet 106 is communicated with the first air inlet 303, and the side wall of the water tank 10 facing the first air inlet 303 is provided with the third air inlet 106. For example, fig. 1 and 2 show the first air inlet 303 disposed on the left sidewall of the base housing 30, and the third air inlet 106 disposed on the left sidewall of the water tank 10. When the third air inlet 106 and the first air inlet 303 are aligned, that is, the projection of the first air inlet 303 on the surface where the third air inlet 106 is located has a superposed part with the third air inlet 106, the flow path of the air can be reduced.

It should be noted that the number of the first air inlets 303 may be one or more. The first air inlet 303 may be disposed at a left side wall of the base housing 30, and may also be disposed at other side walls of the base housing 30. Fig. 1 and 2 are merely examples, and the positions and the number of the first intake vents 303 and the third intake vents 106 opposite to the first intake vents 303 are not particularly limited.

The above-mentioned "the second air outlet 107 is opposite to the first air outlet 305" means that the second outlet is communicated with the first air outlet 305, and the wall surface of the water tank 10 facing the first air outlet 305 is provided with the second air outlet 107. For example, fig. 1 and 2 show the first air outlet 305 disposed on the top wall of the base housing 30, and the second air outlet 107 disposed on the top wall of the water tank 10. When the first outlet 305 and the second outlet 107 are aligned, that is, the projection of the first outlet 305 on the plane of the second outlet 107 has a portion overlapped with the second outlet 107, the flow path of the air can be reduced.

It should be noted that the number of the first outlets 305 may be one or more. The first outlet 305 may be disposed on the top wall of the base housing 30, or may be disposed on the side wall of the base housing 30. When the first outlet 305 is disposed on the sidewall of the base housing 30, the first outlet 305 and the first inlet 303 need not be on the same sidewall. Here, the positions and the number of the first outlet 305 and the second outlet 107 opposite to the first outlet 305 are not limited in particular.

The present embodiment will be described below by taking as an example the arrangement of the first air inlet 303 and the first air outlet 305 shown in fig. 1 and 2, that is, the first air inlet 303 is arranged on the left side wall of the base housing 30, and the first air outlet 305 is arranged on the top wall of the base housing 30. For other arrangement manners of the first air inlet 303 and the first air outlet 305, reference may be made to the following description, and details are not described herein. As shown in fig. 2, wherein an air flow passage is formed between the inside of the base housing 30 and the outside of the water tank 10. A wind screen 31 is disposed between the base housing 30 and the water tank 10, and the wind screen 31 can divide the air flow channel into an air inlet channel and an air outlet channel.

Specifically, the water tank 10 is located inside the base housing 30, and the third air inlet 106 of the water tank 10 and the second air outlet 107 of the water tank 10 are located inside the base housing 30. There is a certain space between the outside of the water tank 10 and the inside of the base housing 30. The space forms an air flow passage for air to flow between the base housing 30 and the water tank 10. It should be noted that, in order to reduce the loss of energy caused by the air flowing in the airflow channel, the volume of the airflow channel may be reduced. For example, in fig. 2, the first air inlet 303 is disposed on the left side wall of the base housing 30, and the first air outlet 305 is disposed on the top wall of the base housing 30, so that the bottom wall of the water tank 10 and the bottom wall of the base housing 30 can be closely attached to avoid air flowing below the water tank 10. The front/rear side walls of the water tank 10 and the front/rear side walls of the base housing 30 may also be closely attached to prevent air from flowing in front/rear of the water tank 10.

In order to prevent the air introduced into the base housing 30 from being directly discharged from the first air outlet 305 of the base housing 30 without passing through the water tank 10, the air blocking plate 31 is disposed between the air inlet (the first air inlet 303, the second air inlet 304) of the base housing 30 and the first air outlet 305 of the base housing 30 so as to block the air inlet of the base housing 30 from the first air outlet 305 of the base housing 30. In order to prevent the air flowing out of the second air outlet 107 of the water tank 10 from re-entering the third air inlet 106 of the water tank 10, an air baffle 31 is disposed between the third air inlet 106 of the water tank 10 and the second air outlet 107 of the water tank 10 so as to separate the third air inlet 106 of the water tank 10 from the second air outlet 107 of the water tank 10. In summary, one side of the wind deflector 31 may form an air inlet channel, and the other side of the wind deflector 31 may form an air outlet channel. That is, the first air inlet 303, the second air inlet 304, and the third air inlet 106 may be disposed at one side of the wind shield 31. The first outlet 305 and the second outlet 107 are disposed on the other side of the wind deflector 31. A wind guard 31 is disposed between the top wall of the water tank 10 and the top wall of the base housing 30 in fig. 2.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 2, an air inlet channel is defined by an inner wall (including a left side wall, a front side wall, and a rear side wall) of the base housing 30 between the first air inlet 303 and the third air inlet 106, a top wall of the base housing 30 provided with the second air inlet 304 and located on the left side of the air baffle 31, a side wall of the water tank 10 provided with the third air inlet 106, and a top wall of the water tank 10 located on the left side of the air baffle 31. The top wall of the water tank 10 located on the right side of the wind shield 31, the right side wall of the water tank 10, the top wall of the base shell 30 located on the right side of the wind shield 31 and the wind shield 31 enclose an air outlet channel.

The arrows in fig. 2 indicate the flowing direction of the air, and with continued reference to fig. 2, the air outside the base housing 30 enters the air inlet channel from the first air inlet 303 and the second air inlet 304 of the base housing 30 under the guidance of the fan, and enters the water tank 10 from the third air inlet 106 of the water tank 10 through the air inlet channel. The air introduced into the water tank 10 is contacted with the water lifted by the hydro-extracting cage 12 to purify and humidify the air. The purified and humidified air flows out to the outside of the base housing 30 through the second outlet 107, the outlet channel, and the first outlet 305 of the water tank 10.

According to the air purifier provided by the invention, the airflow channel is formed between the base shell 30 and the water tank 10, the wind shield 31 is arranged between the base shell 30 and the top wall of the water tank 10, the airflow channel is divided into the air inlet channel and the air outlet channel through the wind shield 31, the first air inlet 303 is arranged on the side wall of the base shell 30, the second air inlet 304 is arranged on the top wall of the base shell 30, and the air inlet channel is used for communicating the first air inlet 303, the second air inlet 304 and the third air inlet 106, so that air outside the base shell 30 enters the base shell 30 from the air inlets in different directions, the air inflow of the water tank 10 in unit time can be increased, and the purification efficiency of the device is improved.

The air cleaning device provided by the embodiment of the invention is described from the outside to the inside in sequence.

The base shell 30 will be described first.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the base case 30 is divided into two parts in order to facilitate the machining of the wind deflector 31 in the base case 30. Illustratively, the base housing 30 includes a lower housing 301 provided with a first intake vent 303 and an upper housing 302 provided with a second intake vent 304 and a first exhaust vent 305. The upper case 302 has an upper end opening, and the upper case 302 is disposed above the lower case 301 and can cover the upper end opening of the lower case 301. Alternatively, a downwardly extending flange may be connected to the lower end of the upper casing 302, and a groove matched with the flange may be provided at the upper end of the lower casing 301, so that an operator can assemble the upper casing 302 and the lower casing 301.

Alternatively, the sidewall of the water tank 10 where the third air inlet 106 is provided has a distance from the sidewall of the base housing 30 where the first air inlet 303 is provided. The top wall of the base housing 30 corresponding to the distance is provided with a second air inlet 304. That is, the air introduced into the base housing 30 from the first and

second air inlets

303 and 304 enters the water tank 10 through the third air inlet 106. The distance is opposite to the second air inlet 304, i.e. a part of the second air inlet 304 is located at the left side of the third air inlet 106, so as to reduce the path of the air flowing in the air inlet passage and also facilitate the rational utilization of space.

Optionally, the top wall of the base housing 30 is provided with an induced draft cover 32 covering the second air inlet 304. Specifically, one end of the induced draft cover 32 is open, and the other end of the induced draft cover 32 is communicated with the second air inlet 304. The air outside the base shell 30 enters the induced draft cover 32 from the opening of the induced draft cover 32, and enters the air inlet passage from the second air inlet 304 in a certain direction through the guidance of the induced draft cover 32.

Wherein, the inner surface of part of the induced draft cover 32 may be an arc surface, and the center of the arc surface is located below the induced draft cover 32. The air entering the draft hood 32 is guided by the curved surface to have a downward flow direction so as to enter the air intake passage below the draft hood 32.

With reference to fig. 2, when the first air outlet 305 is disposed on the top wall of the base shell 30, in order to prevent the cleaned air flowing out of the first air outlet 305 of the base shell 30 from entering the air inlet channel through the air inducing cover 32, the opening of the air inducing cover 32 may face a direction away from the first air outlet 305. That is, the opening of the induced draft housing 32 may be provided at a side wall of the induced draft housing 32 which is not opposite to the top wall of the base housing 30. Fig. 2 shows an example in which the first air outlet 305 is disposed on the top wall of the base shell 30, and the opening of the induced draft cover 32 is disposed on the left side wall of the induced draft cover 32. Of course, the opening of the induced draft cover 32 may be provided on the front side wall or the rear side wall of the induced draft cover 32. But not on the top wall and the right side wall of the induced draft housing 32.

Alternatively, the fan may be disposed at the air inlet end of the base housing 30, and the fan may also be disposed at the air outlet end of the base housing 30. When the fan is disposed at the air inlet end of the base housing 30, the base housing 30 has two air inlets located at different positions of the base housing 30, so that the fans are respectively disposed at the first air inlet 303 and the second air inlet 304. When the fan is disposed at the air outlet end of the base housing 30, the fan is disposed at the first air outlet 305, i.e., the top wall of the base housing 30, so as to reduce the cost. In order to increase the structural strength of the top wall of the base housing 30 and the first outlet 305, a rib 34 extending upward may be provided outside the first outlet 305. In addition, a reinforcing plate 33 is connected to an inner side of the top wall of the base housing 30, and the reinforcing plate 33 is disposed at an outer side of the first outlet port 305 to reinforce the strength of the base housing 30. After the blower is installed at the first outlet 305 of the base housing 30, the lower end of the reinforcing plate 33 may abut against the top wall of the water tank 10 so as to bear the weight of the blower.

Optionally, a wind deflector 31 is attached to the inner wall of the base shell 30. The outer wall of the water tank 10 is connected with a wind shielding protrusion 105, and the wind shielding protrusion 105 is disposed on one side of the wind shielding plate 31 and extends toward the outer side of the water tank 10. The wind-shielding protrusion 105 faces away from the end surface of the water tank 10, further from the water tank 10 (or closer to the base housing 30) than the wind-shielding plate 31 faces away from the end surface of the base housing 30. Illustratively, in fig. 2, the wind guard 31 is connected to and extends downward from the top wall of the base housing 30, and the wind guard protrusion 105 is connected to and extends upward from the top wall of the water tank 10. The wind shielding protrusion 105 is provided on the right side of the wind shield 31. And the highest point of the wind-shielding protrusion 105 is higher than the lowest point of the wind-shielding plate 31. That is, the wind shield 31 and the wind shielding protrusion 105 shield wind in a stacked manner, so that the base housing 30 and the water tank 10 are not fastened, the water tank 10 is separated from the base housing 30, and the maintenance personnel can conveniently disassemble and assemble the water tank.

Optionally, the first air inlet 303 of the base housing 30 is provided with an air inlet grille 36 to prevent bulky impurities or users from extending into the base housing 30.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, a sidewall of the base housing 30 is provided with an opening so that the water tank 10 located inside the base housing 30 is drawn out through the opening. The right side wall of the base housing 30 is shown in fig. 2 as being provided with an opening, for example. In order to prevent the air flowing out of the second outlet 107 of the water tank 10 from flowing out of the opening, a first sealing plate 13 is disposed at the opening to close the gap between the water tank 10 and the base housing 30 at the opening. For example, in fig. 2, a first sealing plate 13 extending toward the base housing 30 may be connected to an upper end of the water tank 10. A second sealing plate 14 extending toward the water tank 10 may be connected to the opening of the base housing 30. The first sealing plate 13 is disposed at one side of the second sealing plate 14, and the highest point of the first sealing plate 13 is higher than the lowest point of the second sealing plate 14. In this way, the base housing 30 and the water tank 10 are sealed at the opening of the base housing 30 in such a manner that the first sealing plate 13 and the second sealing plate 14 overlap.

Of course, the base housing 30 may be a closed structure surrounded by the upper housing 302 and the lower housing 301. If the water tank 10 is taken out of the closed structure, the upper case 302 may be separated from the lower case 301.

Alternatively, fig. 3 is an enlarged view of fig. 2 at a, and referring to fig. 2 and 3, in order to facilitate the installation of the water tank 10 with the base housing 30, the base housing 30 may be provided with a stopper protrusion 35, and the water tank 10 may be provided with a stopper recess 108 engaged with the stopper protrusion 35 so as to limit the interval between the water tank 10 and the base housing 30. Fig. 2 and 3 show the case where the stopper protrusion 35 is provided on the bottom wall of the base housing 30 and the stopper recess 108 is provided on the bottom wall of the water tank 10.

The water tank 10 will be described below.

FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the water tank 10 and the water slinger assembly 12 of FIG. 1; as shown in fig. 4, to facilitate the installation of the hydro slinger assembly 12, the tank 10 may include a lower housing 101 and an upper cover 102. The lower case 101 may be a hollow prism, and the upper end of the lower case 101 is open. The lower case 101 may include a bottom wall and a sidewall connected to the outer circumference of the bottom wall, the sidewall extending toward the upper end. The side wall of the lower box 101 is provided with a third air inlet 106. The upper cover 102 is detachably fitted over the opening of the lower case 101. The upper end of the upper cover 102 is provided with a second air outlet 107.

Optionally, the third air inlet 106 of the water chamber 10 is provided with a preliminary filtering part 17 to primarily purify the air using the pores. Wherein, the primary filter part 17 can comprise a frame and a filter screen arranged in the frame. The side walls of the tank 10 may be provided with slide rails 18 adjacent to the third air inlet 106, and the frame may be slidably fitted on the slide rails 18.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, a water slinging assembly 12 is provided inside the water tank 10. The hydro slinger assembly 12 located within the tank 10 is capable of lifting water within the tank 10 and creating a water curtain on the side of the tank 10 where the third air inlet 106 is located. Wherein, the principle that water knockout drum subassembly 12 formed the cascade does: as the hydro slinger assembly 12 rotates, water within the tank 10 can temporarily settle on the hydro slinger assembly 12. When the centrifugal force of the water temporarily stored in the water slinging component 12 is larger than the friction force, the water on the water slinging component 12 will be separated from the water slinging component 12. And the hydro slinger assembly 12 now rotates about its own axis so that the water thereon has a tangential velocity. The water at different locations on the hydro slinger assembly 12 has different paths to form a range of water curtains.

Wherein, the mode that gets rid of water subassembly 12 formation cascade can have following several:

in one possible implementation, the axis of the hydro slinger assembly 12 is horizontal, and the hydro slinger assembly 12 rotates about the horizontal axis. Fig. 5 is a front view of the water slinger assembly 12 of fig. 4. as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the water slinger assembly 12 includes a disc body 121 and a plurality of external ribs 122. A plurality of outer beads 122 are uniformly arranged on the surface of the disc main body 121. Each outer bead 122 is configured in a closed loop shape. And each of the outer ribs 122 defines a water storage space with the surface of the tray main body 121 to lift water in the water tank 10 and throw it out by the centrifugal force of the water slinging assembly 12.

Wherein, both sides of the disc main body 121 in the axial direction may be provided with an external rib 122 so as to increase the diffusion range of the water curtain in the axial direction of the disc main body 121. In addition, the above-mentioned "the outer beads 122 are each configured in a closed ring shape" means that the cross section of the outer bead 122 is a complete and closed ring shape; alternatively, the outer ribs 122 are part of a complete ring, and the outer ribs 122 can form a complete ring structure with other components. For example, FIG. 2 illustrates that adjacent ring structures share an edge to form a honeycomb structure.

Illustratively, in conjunction with fig. 4 and 5, the third air inlet 106 of the water tank 10 is disposed at the left side wall of the water tank 10, and the driving source can rotate the hydro slinger 12 counterclockwise. The water storage space located below the water surface and located on the right side of the rotation axis of the water throwing assembly 12 stores a certain amount of water at a certain moment, and after the water throwing assembly 12 rotates anticlockwise, the water storage space can rotate to the upper side of the water surface and rotate to the left side of the rotation axis from the right side of the rotation axis. When the water storage space is located at the highest point and on the right side of the rotation axis, water carried in the water storage space is thrown out of the water storage space to form a water curtain.

With continued reference to fig. 5, each outer rib 122 may have an inner rib 123 disposed therein, and each inner rib 123 may also be configured in a closed loop shape. First water storage cavity is injectd to the surface that every is interior muscle 123, is located the outer convex rib 122 in this interior muscle 123 outside and is located the dish main part 121 in this interior muscle 123 outside, and second water storage cavity is injectd to the surface that every is interior muscle 123 and is located the inboard dish main part 121 of muscle 123 in interior muscle 123.

Specifically, the cross section of the inner rib 123 is a complete and closed ring shape; alternatively, the inner rib 123 is a part constituting a whole ring, and the inner rib 123 can form a complete ring structure with other components.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, when the water storage space is rotated above the water level, a portion of water may be stored in the first water storage chamber and a portion of water may be stored in the second water storage chamber. Along with the rising of the water storage space, the water in the water storage space is accumulated below the water storage space under the action of gravity. The inner convex rib 123 is arranged inside the outer convex rib 122, so that when the water storage space is positioned above the water surface, part of water in the water storage space is accumulated at the lower end of the first water storage chamber, part of water is positioned at the lower end of the second water storage chamber, the lower end of the first water storage chamber and the lower end of the second water storage chamber are provided with different lowest positions, the water in the water storage space is arranged in a layered mode, water in the water storage space is thrown out and then provided with different paths, and the contact area of the water curtain and the air is favorably improved.

Further, as shown in fig. 4, the disk main bodies 121 may be provided in plurality, a plurality of the disk main bodies 121 may be arranged side by side in the axial direction of the disk main bodies 121, and a separation block 124 is provided between adjacent two disk main bodies 121. The spacer 124 can limit the interval between the adjacent two disk bodies 121.

The center of the disk body 121 is provided with a center hole, and a rotating shaft 11 is inserted through the center hole of the disk body 121 and rotatably disposed on the sidewall of the water tank 10. The drive source may rotate by driving the rotation shaft 11 so that the disk main body 121 rotates with the rotation of the rotation shaft 11.

The water throwing assembly 12 comprises a cylinder body with an opening at the lower end, and a space is arranged between the opening at the lower end of the cylinder body and the bottom wall of the water tank 10. The barrel includes roof and lateral wall, and the lateral wall of barrel is connected in the periphery of the roof of barrel and is extended downwards. The upper end lateral wall of the cylinder body is provided with a water throwing hole. The rotating shaft 11 penetrates through the barrel body in the vertical direction and is fixed with the bottom wall of the barrel body. The driving source drives the rotating shaft 11 to drive the cylinder to rotate. Along with the rotation of the cylinder, the water in the water tank 10 enters the cylinder from the lower end opening of the cylinder and gradually ascends. When the water climbs to the position of the water throwing hole, the water in the cylinder body is thrown out from the water throwing hole to form a water curtain.

Optionally, whichever of the hydro slinger assemblies 12 described above is employed, to avoid the water curtain from exiting the third air inlet 106 of the tank 10. A water guard 15 may be provided under the third air inlet 106 of the water chamber 10, and the water guard 15 is inclined with respect to a sidewall of the water chamber 10. In fig. 2, one end of the water guard 15 is connected to the third air inlet 106 of the water tank 10, and the second end of the water guard 15 extends upward and is inclined toward the left side of the water tank 10. The water baffle 15 can not only block water drops passing through the air inlet back into the water tank 10, but also guide air downwards into the water tank 10.

Wherein the free end of the splash plate 15 abuts against the side wall of the base housing 30. I.e., the second end of the splash plate 15, abuts the base housing 30 to limit the position of the tank 10 relative to the base housing.

Optionally, the upper end of the tank 10 may be further provided with a wind deflector 16 extending toward the inside of the tank 10, the wind deflector 16 being inclined with respect to the top wall of the tank 10, and the wind deflector 16 being used to guide air toward the water slinger assembly 12. In fig. 2, a first end of the air deflector 16 is connected to an upper end of the wind shielding protrusion 105, and a second end of the air deflector 16 extends downward and is inclined toward the water slinger 12. The air below the air deflector 16 can flow out of the second air outlet 107 by bypassing the second end of the air deflector 16. And a second end of the air deflector 16 is adjacent to the hydro slinger assembly 12. The air deflector 16 can guide the air below the air deflector to contact with the water on the water slinging assembly 12 and the water curtain near the water slinging assembly 12, so that the contact probability of the air and water drops is increased, and the purification and humidification efficiency is improved.

In addition, the highest point of the water throwing assembly 12 may be higher than the second air outlet 107 of the water tank 10, and at least a part of the water storage space is located above the second air outlet 107. The water drops thrown out from the water storage space at the upper end of the air outlet can flow into the water tank 10 along the air deflector 16, so as to avoid the loss of water.

In addition, in fig. 2, the air deflector 16 and the wind shielding protrusion 105 are connected by the connecting plate 104, so that the connection strength between the air deflector 16 and the wind shielding protrusion 105 is improved.

Alternatively, the driving source for driving the water slinging assembly to rotate can be a motor electrically connected with an external power supply or a storage battery. A speed reducer or a gear train can be arranged between the motor and the rotating shaft of the water throwing assembly.
