In other words, the range hood collects various harmful gases generated during cooking and discharges them to the outside through discharge pipes connected to the outside to prevent the harmful gases generated during cooking from being diffused into the interior. The necessary lighting was provided. In addition, the air purifier forcibly circulates the indoor air by driving a fan, and the air is filtered by various types of filters such as a pre-filter, a high efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA), and an activated carbon filter. The contaminant in the multi-stage was filtered or adsorbed to remove the function.

As described above, the range hood, the lighting device, and the air purifier are separately configured to perform only respective functions, and the consumer who wants to use it has to purchase three products separately. Therefore, there is a problem in that the burden of having to purchase the three products separately with the economic burden from the point of purchase of the consumer.

In addition, the three products each occupy the indoor space, accompanied by the problem of excessive encroaching on the living space.

Of course, in the past, a product that performs an additional function of sterilization by attaching an anion generator to the range hood has been developed at the same time, but this is only a limited function added to the main function of the range hood to the effect. Was incomplete.
