Description

Air purifier unit {AIR PURIFIER UNIT}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air cleaner, and more particularly, to an air cleaner unit including a plurality of assembled air cleaners that can be separated and assembled,

In recent years, interest in air cleaners has been increasing due to increased air pollution and fine dust, and various kinds of air cleaners are being sold.

The air purifier is a device that purifies pollutants contained in the air and converts them into fresh air. Air purifiers can greatly improve the indoor environment while using less power. In other words, dust, pollen, pet hair, mold spores, and house dust mite feces can cause allergies to humans, and tobacco smoke particles and volatile organic compounds can be fatal to health. It is especially useful for people suffering from allergies and asthma. In addition, air purifiers also reduce the need for periodic cleaning of the house.

Air purifiers are mainly used in homes, but they are used in various places such as offices and hospitals. Air purifiers can be divided into filter type, ion type, and electric dust collection type according to the filtration type.

The filter type is the most mainstream type. It uses a fan like an electric fan or an air conditioner to suck in air, then purifies it with a filter and discharges the purified air again. Air purifiers adopting this method usually use a method of dust collection and filtration of particulates with a fine nonwoven filter called HEPA, and adsorption using activated carbon in the case of odor.

The ionic method is a method of discharging ions to the air by applying a high voltage to an electrode placed at a certain distance and attaching the ions to the fine particles in the air and pulling them to the positive electrode collecting plate to remove the particles. Ion-type is advantageous in that it consumes less power and is quiet.

The electric dust collecting type is a method of purifying contaminated air by a dust collecting plate having a strong collecting power by using an electric discharge principle like an ion type. Unlike the ionic type, the fan is used together. The electric dust collection system has a low maintenance cost and can be used in a large amount of fine dust.

However, the conventional air purifier has a large size, which is difficult for an individual to carry, and has disadvantages in that it is ineffective in single-person furniture, small-sized office, and outdoors.

7 is a perspective view illustrating a part of the structure of an air cleaner unit according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The air purifier unit 200 shown in FIG. 7 includes a plurality of prefabricated air purifiers 210 having an air purifying function, a neckband 260 that can be worn on a user's neck to support a plurality of prefabricated air purifiers 110, . In this air cleaner unit 200, the neckband 260 is fixedly connected to the assembled air cleaner 210. The assembled air cleaner 210 can be operated using the power of the auxiliary battery 170 provided in the power supply unit 152 or the neckband 260 provided in each of the assembled air cleaners 210. When used as a stand type, a plurality of the assembled air cleaners 210 can be coupled to each other via the housing socket 124 and the housing connector 129 provided in each. In this case, the user can provide an additional assembled air cleaner 210 and increase the number of the assembled air cleaners 210, thereby enlarging the overall size of the air cleaner.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the scope of the present invention is not limited to those described and illustrated above.

For example, although a plurality of prefabricated air cleaners 110 are shown to be physically and electrically connected to each other through a housing connection portion 122 provided in each of the prefabricated air cleaners 110, 122 may take other structures having only a physical connection function. Also, the neckband connection part 162 provided on the neckband 160 may be changed to another structure that can be physically connected to the assembled air cleaner 110.

In addition, although the prefabricated air cleaner 110 is shown in the form of a hexahedron block, the prefabricated air cleaner 110 may be changed into various other prefabricated structures in which a plurality of the air cleaners 110 can maintain a stable coupled state.

In addition, although the figure shows that a plurality of assembly type air cleaners 110 are connected in a row, the assembly type air cleaner 110 may be connected in various directions such as up, down, left and right, Structure can be taken.

In addition, although the figure shows that the neckband 160 is provided with the auxiliary battery 170 capable of supplying auxiliary power to the assembled air cleaner 110, the auxiliary battery 170 may be omitted.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that numerous modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
