Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an air cleaner using a rotating body of a spinning mill structure,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air cleaner, and more particularly, to an air cleaner using a rotating body of a spinning wheel structure for collecting outside air and introducing it into water.

Generally, an air purifier is a sanitary device that filters contaminants or fine dust in contaminated air and discharges cleaned air into the room while forcibly circulating the air through the room.

Such an air cleaner can be classified into a filter system and a water system.

The filter type air cleaner uses a filter that catches dust and VOC gas, respectively, but it has a disadvantage that it has to be replaced every predetermined time.

Activated carbon filters are widely used for reducing VOC gas. In this case, it is necessary to periodically replace the activated carbon filter.

A disk-type air cleaner using water is also called an air washer, and dust containing air is introduced into a rotating disk to attach dust.

However, the disk type air cleaner using such water has a problem that the air cleaning effect is inferior.

On the other hand, when it rains, the atmosphere is cleaned because the dust and VOC gas in the air are swept away or dissolved by the rain. By using this feature, it is possible to obtain a good cleaning effect by injecting air containing dust into water and discharging it from the water due to density difference.

In order to realize this, it is possible to devise a method in which a rotating body formed with an air chamber or an air collecting part in which air can stay is partially rotated while being immersed in water. However, when air is put into water or when water is lifted into the rotating body There is a problem in that a large energy is consumed and noise is generated when air is discharged or water is dropped.
