Referring to fig. 1, one embodiment of the present application provides a cabinet air cleaner 100 including a main body 10, an air cleaning assembly 30, and a sterilizing light source 50. The air cleaning assembly 30 is provided to the main body 10 for cleaning air. The sterilizing light source 50 is provided to the main body 10 and configured to emit sterilizing light to the outside of the main body 10.

The cabinet air cleaner 100 may be used to clean air in a shoe cabinet, and may also be used for air in a cabinet such as a wardrobe, a drawer, etc. When in use, the air purifier is only required to be placed in a cabinet which needs to be cleaned with air, and then started.

In one embodiment, the disinfecting light source 50 is an ultraviolet light source capable of emitting ultraviolet light that has an inactivating effect on bacteria and viruses. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, other light emitting sources that have a fire extinguishing effect on bacteria, viruses, etc. may be utilized as the sterilizing light source 50, such as a light source that emits infrared, microwave, or even a portion of visible light, etc., in addition to ultraviolet light sources.

The cabinet air cleaner 100 can also use the sterilizing light source 50 to emit sterilizing light into the cabinet, and kill bacteria on shoes in the cabinet, such as shoes in the shoe cabinet, in addition to purifying the air in the cabinet by using the air purifying assembly 30. The odor in the cabinet is largely derived from odoriferous substances such as sulfur-containing compounds generated by bacterial activity. Therefore, the cabinet air cleaner 100 kills bacteria to reduce the source of odor, and when the number of bacteria is controlled, the odor can be effectively controlled even without performing air cleaning or reducing the intensity of air cleaning. In addition, the inhibition of bacteria by the cabinet air purifier 100 also protects the contents of the cabinet from substantial mold growth.

Further, the main body 10 further includes a housing 11, an air duct F is formed in the housing 11, an air inlet J and an air outlet C are formed in the housing, which are communicated with the air duct F, and the air purifying assembly 30 is disposed in the air duct F.

It will be appreciated that the air cleaning assembly 30 is configured to drive air flow from the inlet J into the duct F and, after cleaning thereof, out of the duct F from the outlet C.

Thus, the air in the cabinet can enter the air duct F from the air inlet J, and after being purified by the air purifying component 30 in the air duct F, the air is blown out from the air outlet C, so that the purification of the air in the cabinet is completed.

Further, the air purifying assembly 30 includes a filter 31 and a fan 33, wherein the fan 33 is configured to drive the air flow from the air inlet J to the air outlet C, and the filter 31 is blocked on the flow path of the air flow.

The filter 31 may include, but is not limited to, various functional screens including HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter, high efficiency air filter), activated carbon, and static electricity. The flow path of the air flow driven by the fan 33 is located in the air duct F, and the filter 31 is blocked on the flow path of the air flow, that is, the air flow from the air inlet J to the air outlet C must pass through the filter 31.

The air flow is driven by the fan 33 to flow along the flow path, and then the air flow needs to pass through the filter element 31, so that the filtering and purifying of the part of the air flow are completed.

It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the air cleaning assembly 30 may also be an active air cleaning assembly 30 capable of actively releasing a cleaning factor into the air, wherein the cleaning factor may be, but is not limited to, negative ions, low temperature plasma, silver ions, etc., and is not specifically limited herein.

In some embodiments, the housing 11 is configured with a plurality of light-transmitting holes 111, and the sterilizing light source 50 is disposed within the housing 11 and configured to emit sterilizing light out of the main body 10 through the light-transmitting holes 111.

The casing 11 is formed with a light-transmitting area T in which a plurality of light-transmitting holes 111 are formed, the light-transmitting holes 111 being micro-holes, the diameter of which may be not more than 10mm, and in particular may be not more than 5mm, 2mm, 1mm, 0.1mm, or the like. The sterilizing light source 50 emits ultraviolet rays to the light-transmitting region T, passes through the light-transmitting hole 111, and finally emits the ultraviolet rays to the outside of the housing 11.

Since some articles placed in the bins, such as shoes with leather uppers in the shoe bins, may be damaged by direct irradiation from the ultraviolet light. The sterilizing light source 50 can form low-light irradiation through the light transmission hole 111, so that the possibility of damaging articles in the cabinet due to the ultra-strong ultraviolet rays is reduced.

In some embodiments, the cabinet air cleaner 100 further includes a heating element disposed within the air duct F.

The heating element may be, but not limited to, a PTC heating element, a resistance wire, etc., and is not particularly limited herein.

The heating element can heat the air flow in the air duct F, and then the humidity of the air is reduced through temperature rise, so that the effect of drying the cabinet is achieved. The dry environment can also play a certain role in inhibiting bacterial growth, thereby inhibiting the generation of peculiar smell.

Further, the main body 10 further includes a temperature sensing element (not shown), and the temperature sensing element is disposed at the air outlet C.

The temperature sensing element can be used for detecting the temperature at the tuyere C to reflect the working effect of the heating element. It will be appreciated that the cabinet air cleaner 100 may also include a controller capable of controlling the operation of the various components, including controlling the start and stop of the heating element, the heating power, etc., to maintain the air outlet C at a suitable temperature.

In some embodiments, the filter 31 is disposed at the air inlet J and the heater is disposed at the air outlet C.

The filter 31 is disposed at the air outlet C, and can filter out dust and particles carried by air at the beginning of air flow entering, so as to reduce the influence of the dust and particles on other components (such as the fan 33 and the heating element) in the air duct F. The heating element is arranged at the air outlet C, so that the air to be discharged can be effectively heated, and the heating efficiency is improved.

Specifically, two air inlets J are configured on opposite sides of the housing 11, and an air outlet C is configured on the other side between the two air inlets J, and both the air outlets C are provided with filter elements 31.

In some embodiments, the housing 11 is configured with a first fitting portion 113 and a second fitting portion (not shown), and the cabinet air cleaner 100 is configured to be detachably coupled with the second fitting portion of another cabinet air cleaner 100 through the first fitting portion 113 itself.

The first fitting portion 113 and the second fitting portion may be detachably coupled to each other in structure, wherein the first fitting portion 113 may be a protrusion, the second fitting portion may be a groove, or the first fitting portion 113 may be a hook, the second fitting portion may be a clamping groove, or the like. When two or more cabinet air cleaners 100 are used, different cabinet air cleaners 100 can be selectively placed at different positions or different storage layers, and can be used separately, or different cabinet air cleaners 100 can be connected together for common use by connecting the first assembly portion 113 of one with the second assembly portion of the other.

It is to be understood that the housing 11 may also be configured with only the first fitting 113, in which case the first fitting 113 can be structurally mated with another first fitting 113. In this manner, when the two cabinet air purifiers 100 are used together, the two can be coupled together by the first fitting portions 113 of the two.

In some embodiments, the main body 10 further includes a battery 13.

The battery 13 provides power to the components of the cabinet air cleaner 100 (including but not limited to the disinfection light source 50, the heat generating components, etc.) to enable the cabinet air cleaner 100 to operate from an external power source.

It will be appreciated that the main body 10 includes a power outlet 15 exposed on the housing 11, the power outlet 15 being capable of being used to charge the battery 13. In other embodiments, the power outlet 15 may also receive power and directly power the operation of the cabinet air purifier 100.

In the case of power supply by the battery 13, the cabinet air cleaner 100 can be more freely arranged at a proper position as required, and the cabinet door of the cabinet can be completely closed without being affected by the power line, so that the cabinet air cleaner 100 can perform cleaning work better.

Further, the main body 10 further includes an indicator (not shown) configured to emit an indication signal. The indicator is used for reacting to the state of the cabinet purifier by indicating the signal. The indication signal may include, but is not limited to, a signal formed by one or more of sound, image, text, color, flashing, etc., and capable of being recognized by a user.

Specifically, the indicator may alert the user by sound and flashing lights and is configured to emit an indication signal when the operating voltage of the battery 13 is below a set value.

It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the indicator may also be coupled to the circuitry of the air cleaning assembly 30 and/or the heat generating element to reflect a start-stop condition of the air cleaning assembly 30 and/or the heat generating element.

The cabinet air cleaner 100 is put into a target cabinet and started to operate when in use. The cabinet air cleaner 100 can drive the air in the cabinet to flow in from the air inlet through the fan 33 of the cleaner assembly, be filtered by the filter 31, be heated by the heating element, and be discharged through the air outlet C. At this time, the discharged air is filtered and purified, and the cabinet can be dried. In addition, the cabinet air cleaner 100 can also emit ultraviolet rays into the cabinet by sterilizing the light source 50 through the light transmission hole 111 of the housing 11, to sterilize bacteria in the cabinet, to suppress the generation of odor from the source.

The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
