Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an air purifier for improving the aroma in a room by effectively dispersing an aromatic agent, constituted so as to guide a part of exhaust air to an aromatic agent case through a bypass part. CONSTITUTION:A bottomed aromatic agent case 18 is provided on a main body upper part 10 in a recessed form and an aromatic agent 19 is mounted therein while said case 18 is closed by a freely openable and closable aroma sealing lid 16. A bypass hole 20 is arranged to a part of an exhaust guide 21 formed by the main body upper part 10, an main body front part 5 or a main body rear part 7, and an exhaust passage 17 and the aromatic agent case 18 are communicated by said bypass hole 20 and the hole 18' formed to the aromatic agent case 18 so as to be able to introduce a part of exhaust air into said case 18. Further, a gap 22 is formed between the aroma sealing lid 16 and the aromatic agent case 18 even in a lid closed state and the exhaust air introduced into the aromatic agent case 18 is exhausted to the outside from the aforementioned gap 22.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to an air purifier for general household use.

Structure of a conventional example and its problems Figure 1 shows a conventional air purifier of this type, in which an exhaust hole 2 is arranged at the top of a main body 1, and a fragrance (not shown) is stored next to it. The fragrance case 3 is arranged, but in this configuration, the fragrance is sealed in the fragrance case 3, and the odor is not strong. There was a problem that the effect was small because it was dispersed.

Some products have adopted a configuration in which the fragrance case is placed in the exhaust passage to improve the dispersion of odors, but the problem is that the fragrance case creates exhaust resistance and reduces performance. was there.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves these conventional drawbacks by effectively dispersing the scent of fragrance agents and improving the fragrance in the room.

＼Structure of the Invention The air purifier of the present invention guides a part of the exhaust air to the fragrance case via the bypass section. Therefore, the scent of the fragrance in the fragrance case is promoted to release its odor by the exhaust air.

Description of examples Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In Figs. 2 to 6, reference numeral 4 denotes a front cover having an intake hole 4a, which is detachably attached to the front 5 of the main body, and is attached or detached when the filter unit 6 is replaced.

A Kid fan 8 and a motor 9 for driving the Kid fan 8 are built in between the rear body 7 and the front body 5. 10 has an exhaust hole 10a formed in a part thereof, and is held on the main body to which the switch 11 is attached by the front main body 6 and the rear main body 7.

Reference numeral 12 designates a carrying handle formed on the rear body 7, and reference numeral 13 designates a metal fitting for wall hanging, which is also placed on the back surface of the rear body 7.

Therefore, when used on a table, the air purifier is in the state shown in FIG. 2, but when used on a wall, the air purifier body is turned upside down so that the exhaust hole 10a faces downward.

14 is the switch knob when used for tabletop use, 1
Reference numeral 5 indicates a knob when used in a wall-mounted state, and both are linked to switch 11. Note that the knob 16 is designed to be removable.

The filter unit 6 is composed of an electrostatic filter ○a that collects airborne dust and a deodorizing filter 6b that absorbs unpleasant odors. It purifies the dirty air sucked in from the hole 4a, and the purified air passes through an exhaust passage 17 consisting of a front 5 and a rear 7 of the main body, and is discharged from the exhaust hole 10a on the top 10 of the main body. be.

The lifespan of the filter unit 6 varies depending on its size, but it is 3 to 6 months under normal usage conditions, and therefore, the front cover 4 is made detachable as described above so that it can be replaced.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a bottomed fragrance case recessed in the top of the main body 10, in which a fragrance 19 is housed, and is closed with a fragrance lid 16 that can be opened and closed.

2o is a bypass hole disposed in a part of the exhaust guide 21 formed between the top 10 of the main body and the front 5 or rear 7 of the main body, and the hole 18' formed in the fragrance case 18 connects the exhaust passage 17 and the fragrance case. 18 are communicated with each other so that a part of the exhaust gas can be introduced.

Further, a gap 22 is formed between the fragrance lid 16 and the fragrance case 18 even when the lid is closed, so that the exhaust gas introduced into the fragrance case 18 is discharged from the gap 22 to the outside of the container.

That is, when the exhaust gas flows as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 6, the odor from the flavoring agent 19 is also discharged to the outside of the container and dispersed.

The fragrance lid 16 can be attached or removed by rotating a fragrance lid knob 16'.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention employs a configuration in which a part of the exhaust air is introduced into the fragrance case storing the fragrance and then discharged outside the container, which reduces performance. The odor of the fragrance agent is effectively dispersed outside the container without causing any odors, and the effect of improving the fragrance in the room can be fully expected.

Moreover, since it is constructed inside the container, there is no problem with the appearance such as holes being visible from the outside, and the workability and assemblability are also good.
