An air inlet passage 11 is formed at one side of the air purifying body 1 to guide the inflow of external air blown from the blower 2 for forcibly sucking and discharging the outside air. The blowing guide wall 3 for forming the 11 extends downward from the upper plate 12 of the air purifying body 1, but the air discharge end 31 at the lower end thereof is suitable for the air purifying body 1. The opposite direction of the blower inlet passage 11 is guided so that the water is pushed in the opposite direction of the blower inlet passage 11 by the air pressure supplied to the blower guide wall 3 in the state locked under the water surface. It is formed in a downward curved state.

In the interior of the air purifying body (1), the lower end is located at a lower height than the air discharge end 31 of the air blowing guide wall (3), the water splash guide plate formed in a state protruding in a position higher than the water surface (4) is fixedly installed, the water scattering induction plate 4 is formed in a bow-shaped state (see Figs. 1 and 2) in the opposite direction from the air inlet passage 11 side (see Figs. 1 and 2). Water droplets and air scattered by being supplied to the passage 11 to be released under the air discharge end 31 of the air blowing guide wall 3 and the water droplets scattered on the water surface in a swirling state Contact with the air, and also on the back side (right side in the drawing) of the upper surface of the water scattering guide plate 4 formed protruding above the water surface is scattered by the air pressure released above the water surface and contact with air. The droplets have a drop of water discharge prevention plate (5) to fall to the bottom towards the surface of the water droplets is formed, while blocked from being discharged to the outside air filter unit (1).

The droplet discharge prevention plate 5 has a lower height than the upper end of the water scattering plate 4 while the upper end thereof is connected to the bottom of the intermediate horizontal plate 6 formed on the upper side of the air purifying body 1. It is formed to extend.

One side (right side in the drawing) of the intermediate horizontal plate 6 is formed with an air discharge port 61 for discharging the purified air passing through the droplet discharge prevention plate 5, the air discharge port 61 The purged air discharged is discharged into the purge air outlet passage 7 formed between the upper plate 12 and the intermediate horizontal plate 6 of the air purifying body 1, and discharged into the purge air outlet passage 7 The purified air is discharged to the room through the purification air outlet 71 formed at one side or both sides.

On the opposite side of the air inlet passage 11 of the air purifying body 1, a vertical plate 14 protruding from the bottom 13 onto the water surface is formed, and the lower part of the air purifying body 1 is stored. A connecting passage 15 is formed to allow the flow of water.

In addition, when the air pressure supplied to the blower inlet passage 11 pushes water under the air discharge end 31, the water on the blower inlet passage 11 side flows toward the water scattering guide plate 4. Water flow guide plate (8) for guiding the flow of water below the bottom of the water scattering guide plate (4) so that the water stored in the purification body (1) flows smoothly to the bottom side of the air inlet passage (11) Formed.

In addition, the side wall facing the vertical plate 14 is provided with a see-through window 9a through which the inside of the air is filtered so as to check the water level stored in the air purification passage 1, or the vertical plate 14 and the side wall. Between the water level sensor 9b for detecting whether the stored water is stored at the proper level is formed.

A scale (not shown) for checking the storage level of water is displayed around the see-through window 9a, or the water level control sensor 9b for detecting the storage level of water is suitable for water purification of the air purification body 1. When stored at a water level, a signal is sent to a digital indicator not showing the level of the stored water, indicating that the water is stored at the proper level by numbers or letters, and an alarm not shown when the water is stored above or below the proper level. It is configured to display the storage level numerically or letter together with the alarm sound.

In addition, the air purification body 1 has a bottom 13 formed to be inclined to one side so as to discharge all of the water contaminated by the air purification, and the water supply pipe 16 for supplying and discharging water at the lowest position. And a water discharge pipe 17 is formed.

On the other hand, the blower (2) is fixed to the upper plate 12 of the air purifying body (1) to suck the outside air through the inlet port 21 to be discharged and supplied to the air inlet passage 11 through the outlet port 22 In addition, the suction port 21 of the blower (2) is provided with a detachable filter network (23) for primary filtering of relatively large foreign matter (e.g., feathers, such as chicken). The air suction pipe 25 in which the sound absorbing material 24 for absorbing and mitigating the noise of the air sucked is formed is detachably installed.

The present invention configured as described above will be described the action of filtering the foreign matter contained in the air with water stored in the air purification body (1).

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the air discharge end 31 formed in the curved curved surface of the air purifying body 1 is opened at the lower end of the air blowing guide wall 3, and the water is submerged. When stored, the water is stored in the air purification body 1 at an appropriate level, and in this state, the polluted air is purged.

As described above, when water is stored in the air purification body 1 at an appropriate level, and then the blower 2 is operated, external air is sucked into the air suction pipe 25 by suction power of a fan rotating at high speed. Bulky foreign matters contained in the air sucked into the suction pipe 25, for example, foreign matter such as feathers are primarily filtered through the filter net 23, and the noise of the air sucked into the air suction pipe 25 is absorbed. The air pressure is blown from the moment when the pressure is generated by the air to be sucked by the 24 to be sucked into the inlet 21 and blown and supplied to the air inlet passage 11 through the outlet 22 is generated water The water surface blocking the inlet passage 11 is pushed out, in which the air discharge end 31 at the bottom of the air guiding wall 3 opening the lower side of the air inlet passage 11 is opened (right direction in the drawing). With curved surfaces As it is formed, the air pressure is concentrated to the air discharge end 31. Accordingly, while the air pressure contacts the water filled under the air inlet passage 11, the air is discharged while pushing the water under the air discharge end 31. In the process of being discharged from the surface outside the stage 31, the water is scattered on the surface of the water, and when foreign matters contained in the air adhere to the water droplets when they are collided with the air discharged from the water and the water droplets scattered. It is absorbed.

In addition, the water scattering guide plate 4 is a state in which water is introduced between the lower end and the water flow guide plate 8 as the air pressure pushes the water under the air discharge end 31. Water stored in 1) is continuously supplied toward the air inlet passage 11 when the air pressure pushes the water into the air discharge end 31 by convection, so that the water surface of the lower part of the air inlet passage 11 is air. Maintaining a higher state than the discharge end 31 at all times, the air pressure is constantly pushing the water under the air discharge end 31 is made, and while pushing the water under the air discharge end 31 as described above The air pressure released while splashing water on the surface of the water is curved in a bow shape and the time of staying in the swirling state on the surface by the top of the water scattering guide plate 4 protruding over the surface of the water is long. The contact time becomes long, and thus foreign matter contained in the air is smoothly attached to and absorbed by the water droplets scattered.

In addition, the water droplets exceeding the top of the water scattering induction plate 4 together with the air discharged above the water as described above is condensed and falls down while hitting the droplet discharge prevention plate 5 and the purified air is the droplet discharge prevention plate described above. (5) Passed through the lower end is discharged to the purge air outlet passage 7 through the air discharge port 61, and then discharged through the purge air outlet 71 formed on one side or both sides of the purge air outlet passage (7). Will be.

On the other hand, when the blower 2 is operated as described above, the outside air is supplied to the air purifying main body 1 by blowing air to contact the surface of the water, and at the same time the water sprays water droplets onto the surface of the air purifying body Even if the water stored in (1) is floating, the water surface of the water stored in the isolated state by the vertical plate 14 is in a quiet state, in the case of the embodiment in which the viewing window 9a is formed as shown in FIG. Through the water level can be checked through the storage level, or in the embodiment in which the water level sensor 9b is installed as shown in FIG. 2, the water level sensor 9b detects the water level of the water, such as numbers or letters. The user can easily check whether water is stored in the air purification body 1 at an appropriate level, and also by using the water stored in the air purification body 1. When water is contaminated by purifying the salted air, the drain valve installed in the water discharge pipe 17 is opened and the polluted water is discharged. In this case, the bottom 13 of the air purifying body 1 opens the water discharge pipe 17. It is inclined downward to discharge all the contaminated water as well as to properly inject water into the water supply pipe 16 and then open the drain valve of the water discharge pipe 17 one or more times to purify the air. After washing the inside of the main body (1) cleanly, and then filling the water with the water discharge pipe (16) by storing the water at the proper level in the air purification body (1) and operating the blower (2) again to remove the contaminated air Purification can proceed.

The present invention as described above is an operation of discharging the contaminated air with a blower toward the water stored at the proper water level inside the air purification body by contacting the contaminated air with water, foreign matter attached to the water, filtered and purified air It is effective to discharge only the polluted air. As the polluted air is filtered, polluted air can be purified by using clean water by simply removing the water contaminated by the filtered foreign matter and supplying clean water. In addition, the present invention can be used to clean the polluted air by driving only the blower to reduce the operation and maintenance costs, so the present invention provides a livestock house such as a poultry farm for raising chickens, quails and pheasants. It can be very useful to filter and sanitize foreign matter suspended in the air. Provide advantages.
