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

The filter 14 may be an electrostatic precipitator filter that charges an applied power source and collects foreign matter in the air. The filter 14 can be made of a material that collects foreign substances in the air through a filter material. Various structures may be arranged in the filter 14. The right of the present invention is not limited by the filtration method of the filter 14 or the filter material of the filter.

The filtration flow path 102 is arranged in the same direction as the main flow direction of the humidifying and purifying device. In the present embodiment, the filtration flow path 102 is arranged in the vertical direction and allows air to flow in the direction opposite to gravity. That is, the main flow direction of the humidifying and cleaning device is formed so as to go from the lower side to the upper side.

The blower unit 20 is arranged on the upper side of the filter housing 12.

The upper side surface of the filter housing 12 is formed by opening, and the air that has passed through the filtration flow path 102 flows into the blower unit 20.

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

The blower unit 20 includes a blower housing 150, a blower motor 22, and a blower fan 24. In the present embodiment, the blower motor 22 is arranged on the upper side, and the blower fan 24 is arranged on the lower side.

The upper body 120 forms the outer shape of the base body 110, is arranged inside the upper outer body 128 and the upper outer body 128 to be coupled to the lower body 130, and the water tank 300 is inserted into the connecting flow path 103. The provided upper inner body 140 is provided with an air guide 170 that combines the upper inner body 140 and the upper outer body 128 to guide air to the water tank 300.

Since the upper body 120 is arranged separately from the connecting flow path and the water tank insertion space, it is possible to minimize the inflow of water from the water tank 300 into the connecting flow path. In particular, since the connecting flow path is partitioned via the upper inner body and arranged outside the space where water is stored, it is possible to suppress the inflow of water into the connecting flow path.

The upper inner body 140 is formed with an opening on the upper side, and the water tank 300 is inserted into the upper inner body 140. The upper inner body 140 forms a part of the clean connecting flow path 104 into which the filtered air flows.

The upper inner body 140 is formed with an upper inlet 121 corresponding to the air wash inlet 31. The upper inlet 121 is not an essential component. It is sufficient if the upper body 120 has a shape that exposes the air wash inlet 31 to the connecting flow path 103.

The air guide 170 guides the air supplied through the clean connecting flow path 104 to the upper inflow port 121. The air guide 170 collects the air raised along the outside of the base body 110 inside. The air guide 170 switches the flow direction of the air flowing from the lower side to the upper side. However, although the air guide 170 switches the air flow direction, the angle is minimized to minimize the air flow resistance.

The air guide 170 is formed so as to surround the outside of the upper inner body 140 by 360 degrees. The air guide 170 guides air to the water tank 300 in all directions of 360 degrees. The air guide 170 collects the air guided along the outside of the lower body 130 inside and supplies it to the water tank 300. With such a structure, a sufficient flow rate of air supplied to the water tank 300 can be secured.

As a result, the air guide 170 includes a guide unit 172 formed in the air flow direction and a switching unit 174 that is connected to the guide unit 172 and switches the guided air flow direction.

The air guide 170 forms a connecting flow path 103.

The switching portion 174 is formed in a direction intersecting with the filtration flow path 102, and is formed in a substantially horizontal direction in the present embodiment.

The switching portion 174 is formed on the upper side of the air guide 170. The switching portion 172 is preferably connected to the guide portion 172 on a curved surface.

Even if the switching portion 174 is formed in the horizontal direction, the air passing through the connecting flow path 103 flows in the substantially inclined upper direction. The commutation angles of the connecting flow path 103 and the filtration flow path 102 can be formed in a manner similar to that in the straight-ahead direction, and the flow resistance of 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 switching portion 174 is fixed to the upper inner body 140.

The upper inner body 140 has a basket shape as a whole. The upper inner body 140 has a circular cross section, and the clean connecting flow path 104 is formed in all directions of 360 degrees.

The air guide 170 is configured to guide the filtered air to the clean connecting flow path 104, and may not be included depending on the embodiment. The air guide 170 connects the upper inner body 140 or the upper outer body 128.

The air guide 170 is formed so as to surround the upper inner body 140. In particular, the air guide 170 is formed so as to surround the upper inflow port 121, and guides the filtered air to the upper inflow port 121. When viewed from a plane, the air guide 170 is donut-shaped.

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

When viewed from a plane, the upper side surface of the air guide 170 and the upper side surface of the upper inner body 140 coincide with each other. In the present embodiment, an upper inner body ring 126 that is coupled to or in close contact with the air guide 170 is formed at the upper end of the upper inner body 140.

An inner body extension portion 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 portion 148 and the upper inner body ring 126.

The inner body extension portion 148 corresponds to the water tank body extension portion 380. When the water tank 300 is stationary, the water tank body extension portion 380 is located inside the inner body extension portion 148. The inner body extension portion 148 and the water tank body extension portion 380 overlap each other inside and outside.

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

As a result, the air flowing through the clean connecting flow path 104 between the upper inner body 140 and the upper outer body 128 is guided to the upper inflow port 121.

The diameter of the upper inner body ring 126 and the diameter of the upper end of the air guide 170 match or are similar. The air guide 170 and the upper inner body ring 126 are brought into close contact with each other to prevent leakage of filtered air. The upper inner body ring 126 is arranged inside the air guide 170.

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

In the upper inner body 140, a water tank insertion space 125 is formed inside so that the water tank 300 can be inserted.

A clean connecting flow path 104 is arranged on the outside and a water tank insertion space 125 is arranged on the inside with respect to the upper inflow port 121. The air flowing along the clean connecting flow path 104 passes through the upper inflow port 121. When the water tank 300 is placed in the water tank insertion space 125, the filtered air that has passed through the upper inflow port 121 flows into the water tank 300.

Since the connecting flow path 103, the humidifying flow path 106, and the discharge flow path 107 are not formed via a structure such as a duct, it is difficult to clearly distinguish the boundaries thereof. However, when the humidification flow path 106 in which humidification is performed 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 are naturally defined.

The connecting flow path 103 is defined as being between the blower housing 150 and the water tank humidifying medium 51. The discharge flow path 107 is defined as the discharge humidifying medium 55 or later.

In the present embodiment, the water tank humidifying medium 51 is arranged at the air wash inlet 31 of the water tank 300.

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

After wetting the water tank humidifying medium 51, the water that has flowed down is preferably stored in the water tank 300. After wetting the water tank humidifying medium 51, it is preferable that the water that has flowed down is arranged so as not to flow down to the outside of the water tank 300.

As a result, the water tank humidifying medium 51 provides humidification to the filtered air passing through the air wash inlet 31.

The filtered air is humidified by the water naturally evaporated in the humidifying medium 50. The natural evaporation means that water is evaporated without applying another heat. As the contact with air increases, the flow velocity of air increases, and the pressure in the air decreases, natural evaporation is promoted. The natural evaporation may be referred to as natural vaporization.

The humidifying medium 50 promotes the natural evaporation of water. In the present embodiment, the humidifying medium 50 is wetted with water, but is not immersed in the water tank 300.

Since the water is separated from the water stored in the water tank 300 and arranged separately, the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 are not always wet even if there is water stored in the water tank 300. That is, the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 are in a wet state only when operated in the humidification mode, and the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 are dried when operated in the air cleaning mode. Can be maintained in a state.

In the present embodiment, the discharge humidifying medium 55 is arranged so as to cover the upper part of the visual body 210. The discharge humidifying medium 55 is placed on the visual body 210. Unlike the present embodiment, the discharge humidifying medium 55 can be coupled to the bottom surface of the top cover assembly 230.

The discharge humidifying medium 55 covers the discharge flow path 107, and the humidified air passes through the discharge humidification medium 55 and then flows into the discharge flow path 107.

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

When the blower unit 20 is operated, the external air flows into the base body 110 through the suction flow path 101 formed on the lower surface of the base body 110. The air sucked through the suction flow path 101 passes through the air clean module 100 and the air wash module 200 in order while being moved upward, and passes through the discharge flow path 107 formed on the upper side of the air wash module 200. It is discharged to the outside.

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

The air that has passed through the filtration flow path 102 flows into the connection flow path 103 via the blower unit 20. The air that has passed through the filtration flow path 102 flows into the air flow path 108.

The filtered air is pressurized by the blower fan 24 in the blower flow path 108 and then flows into the clean connection flow path 104.

Since the ventilation unit 20 is arranged next to the filtration flow path 102, the filtered air is pressurized and blown. It is possible to minimize the adhesion of foreign matter such as dust to the blower fan 24 through the front-back relationship arrangement of the filter assembly 10 and the blower unit 20.

When the blower unit 20 is arranged in front of the filtration flow path 102, the external air comes into contact with the blower fan 24 first, which increases the probability that foreign matter adheres to the blower fan 24. If the blower fan 24 is contaminated with foreign matter, the user must periodically clean it and provide a structure for cleaning the blower fan 24.

The blower unit 20 according to the present embodiment does not need to be separately cleaned in order to blow the filtered air from which foreign substances in the air have been separated.

Further, since the blower unit 20 is arranged in front of the humidification flow path 106, it is possible to minimize the adhesion of moisture to the surface of the blower fan 24. When humidified moisture adheres to the surface of the blower fan 24, there is a high possibility that foreign matter will get entangled or mold will occur.

Since the blower unit 20 is arranged after the filtration flow path 102 and before the humidification flow path 106, contamination of the blower unit 20 can be minimized.

The connecting flow path 103 is composed of a clean connecting flow path 104 formed in the air clean module 100 and a humidifying connecting flow path 105 formed in the air wash module 200.

When the air wash module 200 is stationary on the upper body 120, the clean connecting flow path 104 and the humidifying connecting flow path 105 are connected to each other. When the air wash module 200 is in a separated state, the clean connecting flow path 104 and the humidifying connecting flow path 105 are exposed to the outside.

The clean connecting flow path 104 may be formed in the upper body 120, and the humidifying connecting flow path 105 may be formed in the air wash module 200.

In the present embodiment, the connecting flow path 103 is distributed and arranged in the structure of the upper body 120 and the structure of the water tank 300.

The connecting flow path 103 can also be formed by a structure such as a duct. However, when air is supplied to the inside of the water tank 300 by a structure such as a duct, a large flow resistance is generated by the duct, and it is difficult to secure a sufficient flow rate. If the flow rate supplied to the water tank 300 is limited, the RPM of the blower fan 24 must be increased, which increases power consumption and noise.

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

The filtered air that has passed through the air flow path 108 flows into the clean connecting flow path 104 formed in the upper body 120. An air guide 170 that minimizes the switching of the flow direction of the filtered air is arranged in the clean connecting flow path 104 of the upper body 120, and the air guide 170 minimizes the commutation angle of the filtered air that flows.

In the present embodiment, since the upper inner body 140 for penalizing the water tank insertion space 125 is arranged in the upper body 120, the clean connecting flow path 104 and the air wash inlet 31 are directly connected.

Unlike the present embodiment, when the height of the upper inner body 140 is short or absent, the outer wall of the water tank 300 provides the humidifying connecting flow path 105. That is, when there is only the bottom 141 of the upper inner body 140 and there is no side wall, the outside of the side wall of the water tank 300 provides the humidifying connecting flow path 105, and the inside of the air guide 170 provides the clean connecting flow path 104. Is stationary at the bottom 141, the connecting flow path 103 is connected for the first time.

In the present embodiment, the filtered air of the clean connecting flow path 104 passes through the upper inflow port 121 and the air wash inflow port 31 in order, then passes through the water tank humidifying medium 51, and flows into the humidifying flow path 106.

The humidification flow path 106 is a section in which water is supplied to the filtered air. In the present embodiment, the humidification flow path 106 is a flow path or space from the water tank humidification medium 51 to the discharge humidification medium 55.

In the humidification flow path 106, humidification is performed via various routes.

First, the water content of the water tank humidifying medium 51 is naturally evaporated in the process of the filtered air passing through the water tank humidifying medium 51, and the water content can be supplied to the filtered air.

Secondly, water can be supplied to the filtered air by the water droplets scattered by the watering unit 400.

Thirdly, humidification can be performed by the water evaporated in the water tank 300.

Fourth, even in the process of the filtered air passing through the discharge humidifying medium 55, the water wetted by the discharge humidifying medium 55 is naturally evaporated, and water can be supplied to the filtered air.

As described above, the filtered air can be supplied with water through various routes when passing through the humidification flow path 106.

Then, the air that has passed through the discharge humidifying 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 360 degrees in all directions with respect to the upper side and the inclined direction.
