Detailed Description

The existing air purifier comprises a water tank, a water absorption curtain and a fan. Wherein, the curtain that absorbs water sets up in the water tank, and can be by the water logging in the water tank. The air outside the water tank is in contact with the water absorption curtain under the guide of the fan, so that the water content in the air is increased, and impurities in the air are adsorbed on the water absorption curtain. However, the water absorption curtain absorbs impurities by virtue of the pores on the water absorption curtain, and the pores are easily blocked after long-time use, so that the absorption rate of the water absorption curtain is reduced, and the purification effect of the air purifier is reduced.

In view of this, the air purifier provided in the embodiment of the present invention is provided with the water throwing assembly, so that the water throwing assembly can rotate in the water tank, and a water curtain can be formed by using water in the water tank. The water curtain can contact with air entering the water tank and fall back into the water tank after adsorbing impurities in the air, so that the aim of cleaning the air is fulfilled. The water throwing component does not absorb water and adsorb dust in the air, so that the problem of low purification effect of the air purifier after long-time use in the prior art can be solved.

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, but not all, embodiments of the present invention.

Example one

Fig. 1 is an exploded view of an air purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the air purifier includes a water washing unit and a driving unit, and the driving unit can drive the water washing unit to operate to wash air with water and humidify the air. The washing section includes a water tank 10 and a hydro-extracting assembly 12. The hydro slinger assembly 12 is rotatably disposed within the tank 10. Wherein, the water tank 10 has an air inlet and an air outlet, the driving part is arranged on the water tank 10, and the driving part can make the water throwing component 12 rotate. The hydro-extracting assembly 12 is capable of forming a water curtain within the water tank 10 after rotation to purge air flowing between the inlet and outlet of the water tank 10.

An air purifier provided by an embodiment of the present invention will be described from the inside out.

The hydro slinger assembly 12 will first be described.

Fig. 2 is a partial schematic view of a water slinger assembly 12, fig. 3 is an enlarged view of fig. 2 at a, and fig. 4 is a partial perspective view of the water slinger assembly, as shown in fig. 2-4, the water slinger assembly 12 includes a disc body 121 and a plurality of outer ribs 122, and the plurality of outer ribs 122 are uniformly arranged on the surface of the disc body 121. Each of the outer beads 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.

Specifically, the outer bead 122 is connected to the surface of the disk main body 121 and extends toward a direction away from the disk main body 121. 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 all 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.

In fig. 3, the outer bead 122 is, for example, a complete ring in cross section. The inner side of the outer bead 122 and the surface of the tray body 121 located inside the outer bead 122 can form a water storage space capable of storing a certain amount of water. That is, the bottom wall of the water storage space is formed by the tray body 121 located inside the outer rib 122, and the side wall of the water storage space is formed by the outer rib 122. The side of the storage space away from the tray body 121 is open so that water in the storage space can be thrown out of the open.

As another example, in fig. 4, among the plurality of outer beads 122 surrounding the outer circumference of the below-mentioned reinforcement ring 125, a section of a part of the outer beads 122 is not a complete ring shape. The outer ribs 122, which are not completely annular in cross section, can be connected to the outer wall of the reinforcement ring 125 to form a complete annular structure. The inside of the ring structure and the tray body 121 positioned inside the ring structure can form a water storage space.

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

Illustratively, in fig. 1 and 2, the air inlet of the water tank 10 is disposed on the left side wall of the water tank 10, and the driving part can rotate the water slinging assembly 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.

Thus, the air purifier provided by the embodiment of the invention is provided with the disk main body 121, and the annular and closed outer convex rib 122 is arranged on the surface of the disk main body 121, so that the outer convex rib 122 and the disk main body 121 form a water storage space. In addition, when the water storage space is positioned below the water level, water can be stored in the water storage space; when the water storage space is above the water level, the water in the water storage space can fly out from the outer convex ribs 122 under the action of centrifugal force generated by rotation of the tray body to form a water curtain. The water curtain is contacted with the air entering from the air inlet, so that the purposes of humidifying the air and adsorbing impurities in the air are achieved. The disc main body 121 and the outer convex ribs 122 do not absorb water, so that the problem that gaps of a water absorbing curtain in the prior art are blocked by dust can be avoided, the water throwing efficiency of the water throwing component 12 is improved, and the service life of the air purifier is prolonged.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, a plurality of external ribs 122 are arranged in a grid pattern on the surface of the disc body 121, so that the surface of the disc body 121 is fully utilized, and the water in the water storage space can be uniformly and dispersedly flown out all around.

It can be understood that the more the water storage space on the surface of the tray body 121, the wider the range of the water curtain is formed to improve the efficiency of air purification and humidification by the water curtain. The above-mentioned "in a grid shape" means that two adjacent outer ribs 122 are connected in contact with each other to form a net structure. The water storage spaces are meshes of the mesh structure.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, the outer ribs 122 are polygonal, and two adjacent outer ribs 122 share one edge. Therefore, the area of the disc main body 121 occupied by the outer convex rib 122 is reduced, the proportion of the water storage space to the disc main body 121 is improved, and the water storage capacity of the water throwing assembly 12 is further improved.

Wherein, the polygon can be quadrangle, pentagon, hexagon, etc. Experiments of the applicant prove that when the outer ribs 122 are regular hexagons, the water slinging assembly 12 has the best effect of forming a water curtain. Fig. 2 to 4 illustrate an example in which the outer beads 122 are mostly regular hexagons, and a plurality of regular hexagons of the outer beads 122 are arranged in a honeycomb manner on the surface of the disk main body 121.

The plurality of outer beads 122 may be identical in shape or different in shape. For example, as shown in fig. 3, since the outer edge of the disk main body 121 has an arc shape, one end of the outer rib 122 located at the outer edge of the disk main body 121 has an arc shape matching the arc shape of the outer edge of the disk main body 121. The shape of the outer bead 122 here in fig. 3 is not a regular hexagon.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, each of the outer ribs 122 is provided with an inner rib 123 inside, and each of the inner ribs 123 is also configured in a closed ring shape. First water storage chamber is injectd to the surface that muscle 123, the outer convex rib 122 that is located this interior muscle 123 outside and is located the dish main part 121 outside this interior muscle 123 in every interior muscle 123, and the second water storage chamber is injectd to the surface that muscle 123 and the dish main part 121 that is located the interior muscle 123 inboard in every 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.

In fig. 3, the outer bead 122 and the inner bead 123 located inside the outer bead 122 are each formed in a complete ring shape in cross section. It should be noted that, in fig. 3, the outer ribs 122 and the inner ribs 123 share the same edge at the outer edge of the disk main body 121.

In fig. 4, an inner rib 123 is also provided inside a complete annular structure formed by the incomplete annular outer rib 122 located on the outer periphery of the reinforcement ring 125 and the outer wall of the reinforcement ring 125. The cross section of part of the inner rib 123 is also not complete circular, but it may be connected with the outer wall of the reinforcing ring 125 to form a complete circular structure.

Understandably, the incomplete annular outer convex rib 122 and the inner convex rib 123 are arranged at the outer periphery of the reinforcing ring 125, and each inner convex rib 123, the outer convex rib 122 at the outer side of the inner convex rib 123, the partial reinforcing ring 125 respectively connected with the inner convex rib 123 and the outer convex rib 122, and the surface of the disc main body 121 positioned inside the above-mentioned two annular structures define a first water storage chamber; each of the inner ribs 123, a portion of the reinforcement ring 125 coupled to the inner rib 123, and the surface of the tray body 121 located inside the inner rib 123 define a second water storage chamber.

As shown in fig. 2 to 4, 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 arranged inside the outer convex rib 122 enables part of water in the water storage space to be accumulated at the lower end of the first water storage chamber when the water storage space is located above the water surface, and part of water is located at the lower end of the second water storage chamber, and the lower end of the first water storage chamber and the lower end of the second chamber are provided with different lowest positions, so that the water in the water storage space is arranged in a layered mode, water in the water storage space is thrown out to form different paths, and the contact area of the water curtain and air is favorably improved.

The inner rib 123 may be polygonal. The inner rib 123 and the outer rib 122 may have the same shape. That is to say, the water flying out from the outer convex rib 122 and the inner convex rib 123 has a similar movement track, so that the movement track of the water curtain is controllable, and thus, the designer can design the position of the air inlet conveniently.

Alternatively, the inner ribs 123 may be fixedly coupled to the tray main body 121, and the inner ribs 123 may also rotate with respect to the tray main body 121. When the inner ribs 123 rotate relative to the disc main body 121, the range of the generated water curtain is wider.

Fig. 5 is a partial front view of the connection portion of the water slinger assemblies 12 and the rotating shaft 11 shown in fig. 1, and as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 5, alternatively, a plurality of disc bodies 121 may be provided, a plurality of disc bodies 121 may be arranged side by side along the axial direction of the disc bodies 121, and a separation block 124 is provided between two adjacent disc bodies 121. That is, the plurality of disc main bodies 121 are rotated together, so that a plurality of water curtains are formed in the axial direction of the disc main bodies 121, so as to increase the area of the water curtains contacting the air. And the spacer blocks 124 can determine the axial position of the adjacent two disk bodies 121 to facilitate the installation by the operator.

Wherein the partition block 124 may be provided at one side or both sides of the disk main body 121. The partition blocks 124 are exemplified in fig. 5 as being provided on both sides of the tray main body 121. The partition block 124 of the preceding disk main body 121 may be opposed to and abut against the partition block 124 of the succeeding disk main body 121. In addition, one or more partition blocks 124 may be provided on one disc main body 121. A plurality of partition blocks 124 may be uniformly disposed at the tray main body 121. For example, in fig. 2, one disc body 121 may be provided with six partition pieces 124, wherein two partition pieces 124 may be disposed at an upper portion of the disc body 121, wherein two partition pieces 124 may be disposed at a middle portion of the disc body 121, and wherein the other two partition pieces 124 may be disposed at a lower portion of the disc body 121. The plurality of partition blocks 124 may have the same distance from the center of the disc body 121.

It should be noted that the number of the partition blocks 124 and the arrangement of the partition blocks 124 on the main disc 121 are not limited in this application, and are only examples.

Alternatively, the disc main body 121, the outer ribs 122, and the partition blocks 124 may be an integral structure formed by an integral molding process. So as to improve the structural strength of the water throwing assembly 12 and facilitate the saving of the processing cost and the processing time.

Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the air cleaner shown in fig. 1, and as shown in fig. 5 and 6, a center hole is formed at the center of the disk main body 121, and a rotation shaft 11 is inserted through the center hole of the disk main body 121 and rotatably coupled to a sidewall of the water tank 10. The driving part 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 manner of rotating the disk main body 121 along with the rotation of the rotating shaft 11 includes, but is not limited to, the following possibilities:

in one possible implementation, the shaft 11 is an interference fit with the central bore. In this manner, both mutual rotation between the rotating shaft 11 and the center hole is avoided and the position of the disk main body 121 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 11 is determined.

In another possible implementation, the cross-section of the rotating shaft 11 is non-circular, and the shape of the central hole is consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the rotating shaft 11. In this manner, the disk main body 121 can rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft 11.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the cross-section of the rotating shaft 11 may be a regular hexagon, and the central hole may be a hexagon opposite to the rotating shaft 11. A reinforcing ring 125 coaxial with the central hole can be arranged in the central hole, the section of the reinforcing ring 125 is hexagonal, and two sides of each edge on the inner side of the reinforcing ring 125 can be respectively provided with a limiting rib 126. When the installation is carried out, the rotating shaft 11 penetrates into the reinforcing ring 125 along the axis of the reinforcing ring 125, and the edge of the rotating shaft 11 corresponds to the edge of the reinforcing ring 125. In this manner, the edge of the rotation shaft 11 is clamped by the two stopper ribs 126, and the edge of the rotation shaft 11 is restricted between the two adjacent stopper ribs 126 to restrict the relative movement between the rotation shaft 11 and the disk main body 121. Of course, the cross section of the rotating shaft 11 may also be other non-circular shapes, which is only illustrated here and is not limited in any way.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 6, the surface of the shaft 11 is provided with a water storage groove 111. When the water storage tank 111 is underwater, water can be stored. When the water storage tank 111 rotates to the upper right side along with the rotating shaft 11, the water in the water storage tank 111 can be discharged outwards. Thus, the resistance to the rotation of the rotating shaft 11 in the water is reduced. In fig. 4, two water storage ports are provided, and two water storage tanks 111 have opposite opening directions. That is, the openings of the water storage tank 111 are disposed at two opposite surfaces of the rotation shaft 11.

The set relationship between the hydro slinger assembly and the tank 10 will now be described.

As shown in fig. 1, 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 may be provided with an air inlet. The upper cover 102 is detachably fitted over the opening of the lower case 101. An air outlet is arranged at the upper end of the upper cover body 102.

As shown in fig. 1 and 6, the air inlet may be disposed at a side wall of the water tank 10, and the air outlet may be disposed at a top wall of the water tank 10. When the water in the water storage space rotates to the highest point of the motion track, the water in the water storage space starts to fly outwards and does downward parabolic motion under the action of gravity. Air entering from the side wall of the water tank 10 flows out from the upper end of the water tank 10 and contacts with the downwardly moving water droplets during the upward flow of the air. Thus achieving the purposes of humidifying air and purifying air.

Alternatively, the highest point of the tray body 121 may be higher than the highest point of the intake opening of the water tank 10. So that at least part of the water storage space is positioned at the upper end of the air inlet in the rotating process of the rotating shaft 11, and the contact chance of water drops thrown out of the water storage space and air entering from the air inlet is increased.

Alternatively, a portion of the tray body 121 may pass through the outlet port of the water tank 10. Just can be so that the water storage space is located the upper end of air outlet, just can increase from the water storage space by the water droplet of throwing away with from the contact chance of the air of air outlet outflow.

Alternatively, a water deflector 15 may be provided under the intake vent, the water deflector 15 being inclined with respect to the side wall of the water tank 10. In fig. 6, a first end of the water guard 15 is connected to the water inlet of the water tank 10, and a 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.

Optionally, the upper end of the tank 10 is provided with a deflector 16 extending towards the inside of the tank 10, the deflector 16 being inclined with respect to the top wall of the tank 10, and the deflector 16 serving to direct air towards the hydro-slinger assembly 12. In fig. 6, a first end of the air deflector 16 is connected to the air outlet of the water tank 10, and a second end of the air deflector 16 extends downward and inclines toward the water slinger 12. The air deflector 16 can guide the air below the air deflector towards the water slinger 12, so that the air is firstly contacted with the water drops thrown by the water slinger 12 below, and the contact probability of the air and the water drops is increased. In addition, 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 guide plate 16, so that the water loss is avoided.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, a primary filter member 17 may be provided at the air inlet of the water tank 10 to filter impurities having large particles. In order to replace the primary filter member 17 conveniently, the side wall of the water tank 10 may be provided with a slide rail 18, and the primary filter member 17 may be slidably mounted on the slide rail 18. Specifically, two parallel slide rails 18 can be respectively arranged on two sides of the air inlet, a bottom plate can be arranged at the lower ends of the slide rails 18, an opening is formed in the upper end of each slide rail 18, and the primary filter component 17 can penetrate into the slide rails 18 from the openings in the upper ends of the slide rails 18 and continuously slide in the slide rails 18 until the primary filter component 17 abuts against the bottom plate.

The driving part of the air cleaner will be described below.

Alternatively, in order to avoid the water in the water tank 10 from splashing to the driving source of the driving part, the driving source may be disposed outside the water tank 10. The driving source is disposed outside the water tank 10, and includes but is not limited to the following possibilities:

in one possible implementation: fig. 7 is an exploded view of the connection portion of the water slinger assembly 12 and the rotating shaft 11 shown in fig. 1 (the disc body 121 is provided as an example in fig. 7), and as shown in fig. 1 and 5, both axial ends of the rotating shaft 11 are located in the water tank 10. The driving portion includes a disc-like transmission member 13, an engaging member, and a driving source. Wherein, the disc-shaped transmission member 13 is connected with the rotating shaft 11 and is rotatably disposed in the water tank 10. The disc drive 13 is provided with gear teeth on its periphery. An engagement member is provided on the outside of the water tank 10 and engages with the gear teeth of the disc drive 13.
