Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an indoor air purifier.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional air purifier will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 6, a portion of a conventional air cleaner for accommodating a power cord is a blower fan 51, a partition wall 52 surrounding the blower fan, and a main body shell 53 covering them.
A power cord outlet 54 provided in the main body shell 53,
It is composed of a power supply cord storage portion 55 formed between the partition wall 52 and the main body outer shell 53.

In the above structure, the power cord 20 can be stored in the power cord housing 55 by being pushed into the power cord outlet 54, and conversely pulled by the power cord outlet 54. I was able to take it out from.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the conventional air purifier is packaged in such a manner that the cushion 56 is attached to the main body 57 and the power cord 2 is exposed to the outside of the main body 57.
0 was inserted into the power cord storage portion 58 of the cushion 56 and covered with the outer case 59.

[0006]

In the conventional air purifier as described above, when the power cord 20 is stored in the power cord storage portion 55, the power cord 20 is pushed into the power cord outlet 54 and stored. Therefore, the power supply cord 20 is stored without confirming the bending state, and it may take a long time to store the power supply cord 20 and may not be completely stored.

Further, in the packaged state, since the power cord 20 is exposed outside the main body 57, there is a problem of damage due to vibration and it is necessary to take a large space between the main body 57 and the outer box 59. However, there is a problem that the size of the outer box 59 becomes large.

The present invention solves the conventional problems as described above, makes the storage of the power cord faster and easier, enables the miniaturization of the outer box in the packaged state, and enables the inexpensive packaging. The purpose is to do.

[0009]

In the air purifier of the present invention, the filter accommodating portion and the power cord accommodating portion are arranged in front of the partition wall, and the front cover is detachably locked to the main body. With the cover, the power cord storage can be installed on the front of the main body, the power cord can be stored inside the main body, and the front cover is used as a lid of the power cord storage together with the filter storage. be able to.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is a partition having an electric blower attached to a rear surface thereof, a main body rear member for covering the electric blower, a filter accommodating portion for accommodating a filter, and a power cord. And a power cord storage portion that stores the power supply cord in a removable manner, the filter storage portion and the power cord storage portion are arranged in front of the partition wall, and both are covered by a front cover that is detachably locked to the main body. Thus, the power cord storage portion can be provided on the front surface of the main body, and the front cover can be used as a lid of the power cord storage portion together with the filter storage portion.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a plug fixing rib for fixing the plug of the power cord is provided in the power cord storing part according to the first aspect. When stored in, only the plug of the power cord can be fixed.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the power cord and the plug are completely accommodated in the power cord accommodating portion according to the first aspect, and the power cord is packaged so as not to come out of the main body. Therefore, in the packaged state, the space between the main body and the outer box can be reduced.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the air purifier of the present invention comprises a partition wall 1 and an electric blower 2 mounted on the rear surface thereof.
A main body back 3 covering the outside, a filter 4 provided on the front surface of the partition wall 1, and a front cover 5 covering the front surface.
And a display unit 6 attached to the front upper part of the partition wall 1 constitute a main body, and in this structure, outside air is formed by a gap between the partition wall 1 and the front cover 5 and a lateral intake port 7 and the front cover 5 are formed. It passes through the filter 4 through both of the lower intake ports 8 provided on the lower side, is sucked by the electric blower 2 via the partition intake port 9 provided in the partition wall 1, and is provided on the upper surface of the rear part 3 of the main body. It is discharged from the exhaust port 10.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the partition wall 1 has a filter storage portion 11 on the front surface and a power cord storage portion 12 on the lower left side thereof, and the front cover 5 has two of them. It is provided so as to cover the storage part. A power cord passage 13 is provided on the left side of the power cord storage portion 12.
A power cord holding rib 14 having two holding portions and a plug fixing rib 15 are provided on the right side.

The operation of the above configuration is as follows. The power cord 20 fixed in the main body can be brought to the front side of the partition wall 1 through the power cord passage 13, and after being held by one holding portion of the power cord holding rib 14, It can be stored in the power cord storage section 12. Further, the power cord 2 is kept with a part of the power cord 20 stored in the power cord storage portion 12.
When pulling 0 out of the main body, the power cord holding rib 14
It can be performed by holding it by the other holding part. Further, when the power cord 20 together with the plug is completely stored in the power cord storage portion 12, the plug fixing rib 15 can hold only the plug. And
In all these states, the power cord storage section 12
Can be covered by the front cover 5.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the packaged state, the cushion 16 is covered by the outer box 18 only when it is attached to the main body 17.

[0018]

As described above, according to the invention described in claim 1 of the present invention, when the power cord is stored in the power cord storing portion, the power cord can be stored while confirming the bending state of the power cord. Therefore, the storage can be simplified and the time can be shortened, and since the front cover that covers the filter storage portion can be used as the lid of the power cord storage portion, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated lid.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the power cord is stored in the power cord storage portion, only the plug of the power cord can be fixed, so that the power cord storage portion is damaged by the plug. Can be eliminated.

According to the invention of claim 3 of the present invention, since the power cord is housed in the main body in the packaged state, it is possible to eliminate damage due to vibration, and
Since the space between the main body and the outer box can be reduced, the outer box can be downsized and inexpensive packaging can be achieved.
