(Example) Next, a specific example of the suction grill of the air cleaner according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, the schematic structure of the main body of the air cleaner will be described with reference to FIG. The main body of this air purifier is constructed by sequentially combining a suction grill 1, a filter 2, a front cover 3, a fan 4, a motor 5, a rear cover 6 and the like from the front side. Is cleaned by the filter 2 and then discharged from the louver 8 of the rear cover 6 to the surroundings. On the front surface of the punched suction grill 1, a decorative body 7 representing a face of a bear, which is an example of a character, is provided.

As shown in FIG. 1, the decorative body 7 is composed of, for example, a substantially linear elongated resin-made contour member 12 representing a bear's face in outline, and an auxiliary member 13 imitating bear's eyes, nose, etc. The design is such that the contour member 12 and the auxiliary member 13 give the suction grill main body 11 decorative characteristics while securing a portion for sucking air from the suction grill main body 11, and particularly attract the interest of infants. In FIG. 2 showing a vertical cross section of the fixing member 20 provided on the back surface side of the contour member 12 or on the back surface side of the auxiliary member 13, the fixing member 20 is formed in an integrally molded resin pin shape. Has been done. This fixing member 20,
As shown in FIG. 3, the suction hole 10 ...
A protrusion 21 is formed from the back side by penetrating through 10 by means such as welding and is fixed to the suction grill body 11.

In addition, the suction grill 1 is attached to the upper outer peripheral portion of the suction grill main body 1.
Elastic claw 22 for detachably fixing the front cover 3 to the front cover 3
Are integrally molded. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the elastic claw 22 is provided with a recess 24 that fits into the protrusion 23 of the front cover 3. Therefore, when the suction grill 1 is attached to the front cover 3, when the suction grill body 11 is pushed in the direction of arrow A from the front of the front cover 3, the elastic claws 22 are pressed.
Bends inward by its own elasticity, the recess 24 and the projection 23 are fitted to each other, and the suction grill 1 is fixed. On the other hand, when the suction grill 1 is removed, the elastic claw 22 is once pushed in the direction of arrow B. After that, the elastic claw 22 is further pulled out in the reverse A direction, and the suction grill 1 is removed.

Next, the operating state of the above embodiment will be described. During operation of the air purifier, air is sucked from the suction grill 1 by the fan 4. At this time, the suction hole 10 of the suction grill body 11
Air flows in from 10 and the filter 2 collects dust and the like in the air to purify the air. The suction grill 1 covering the front surface of the air purifier is provided with the decorative body 7 including the contour member 12 and the auxiliary member 13, so that the decorative property of the suction grill 1 is improved, and a bear which is especially cute for infants and the like. The face will be designed for the suction grill 1 and can attract its interest. Moreover, since the contour member 12 is formed in a long and thin linear shape and the auxiliary member 13 is small, most of the suction holes 10 ... 10 of the suction grill body 11 are shielded by the contour member 12 and the auxiliary member 13. The air circulation is secured without being carried out.

Next, a second embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, a deformable contour member 25 is used to change the contour member 25 formed in the substantially C-shaped cross-sectional shape of FIG. The fixing member 30 shown in FIG. 9 is detachably fixed to an arbitrary position of the suction grill body 11 using the suction hole 10. As shown in FIG. 10, the fixing member 30 is formed with a protrusion 32 made of an elastic material, but as shown in FIG. 11, a fixing member 31 having a substantially rhombus-shaped protrusion 33 is used. You can also do it.
Further, when fixing the auxiliary member 13 simulating the eyes, nose, etc., the protrusion 34 integrally formed with the auxiliary member 13 may be formed as shown in FIG. If such a configuration is adopted, the user can freely change the aspect of the character, and the use comfort is further improved.

The specific embodiment of the suction grill of the air purifier according to the present invention has been described above. However, the suction grill of the air purifier according to the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and is within the scope of the present invention. Various modifications can be implemented. For example, in the above embodiment, the contour member 12 simulating a bear face and the corresponding auxiliary members 13 such as eyes and nose are provided as the ornament 7, but any character other than the bear face can be used. You can choose.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, in the suction grill of the air cleaner according to the first aspect, the contour member outlines the face of the character, and the auxiliary member imitates the eyes, nose, etc. of the character. Therefore, even if the decoration body is provided on the suction grill body, most of the suction holes are opened, and the front surface of the suction grill can be decorated with the decoration body while securing the air suction portion. Since the fixing member of the decorative body also serves as part of the suction hole, there is no need to separately form a fixing hole, and the structure is simplified.

Further, in the suction grill of the air purifier or the like according to the second aspect, the contour member is deformable, so that the user can form a free shape and the use comfort thereof can be further improved. In this case, since the fixing member is attachable to and detachable from the suction hole, the contour member and the auxiliary member can be fixed at arbitrary positions.
