The air introduced into the body 110 through the air inlets 113a and 113b flows into the interior of the cleaner housing 131 through the fan motor 133 and moves upward, The clean air is discharged to the outside through the air outlet 137a and the air outlet 111a.

The Bluetooth speaker module 150 outputs audio content to be played back on a smartphone as a result of Bluetooth communication with an electronic device such as a smart phone. The Bluetooth speaker module 150 outputs audio when reproducing music contents of the electronic device through Bluetooth Since the same configuration as that of the prior art is employed, a description thereof will be omitted.

3, 4, 7, and 8, the Bluetooth speaker module 150 of the present invention is configured such that a portion of the bottom surface of the Bluetooth speaker module 150 is inclined to the same as the inclined surface 112a of the main body 110, And a speaker 153 and a low sound output port 156 are provided on the inclined lower surface of the speaker 150. That is, a part of the bottom surface 151a of the speaker module body 151 is inclined with respect to the inclined surface 11a of the main body part 110. The speaker 151 And a low sound output port 156 are provided. Here, the low sound output port 156 is configured to perform a woofer function (low sound output function) in which the bass of audio is extracted from the inside of the speaker module body 151 to the outside.

The Bluetooth speaker module 150 is installed in the mounting bracket 115 so as to be disposed inside the main body 110 and the Bluetooth speaker module 150 is arranged in parallel with the air cleaning module 130.

The inclined lower surface of the Bluetooth speaker module 150 is disposed to face the inclined surface 112a of the main body 110 at a predetermined interval so that the first air inlet 113a contacts the speaker 153 And the second air inlet 113b is configured to face the bass outlet 156 in close proximity. The gap between the first air inlet 113a formed on the slope 112a and the speaker 153 and the interval between the second air inlet 113b formed on the slope 112a and the low sound output port 156 are the same, Or less.

It is preferable that the radial area of the first air inlet 113a and the radial area of the speaker 153 are equal to each other and the radial area of the second air inlet 113b and the radial area of the low- Are preferably the same size.

An inclined surface 112a is formed on the lower surface of the main body 110 and air inlets 113a and 113b are formed in the inclined surface 112a and an air outlet 111a is formed on the upper surface of the main body 110 And has a flow path structure in which air flows in through the lower portion of the main body 110 and the clean air generated through the air cleaning module 130 is discharged through the upper portion of the main body 110, Since the speaker 153 and the low sound output port 156 of the speaker 150 are installed to face the air inlets 113a and 113b to output audio to the lower portion of the main body 110, the air inlets 113a and 113b ) Functions not only as an air inflow function but also as an audio output function of a speaker, so that the product structure can be simplified and the design efficiency can be improved.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the horizontal bottom structure of the main body 110 but includes the inclined surface 112a inclined at the lower surface of the main body 110, and the air inlets 113a and 113b may be formed in the inclined surface 112a. So that the audio output from the speaker 153 and the low sound output port 156 is not emitted to the ground in the start direction but is emitted obliquely to the ground and spread to far away.

In the present invention, the Bluetooth speaker module 150 and the air cleaning module 130 can be operated together by the control unit. In this case, the audio output from the speaker 153 is transmitted through the first air inlet 113a, The air flowing into the main body 110 through the first air inlet 113a flows into the lower portion of the main body 110 through the vibration of the audio output through the first air inlet 113a. Dust is prevented from flowing into the main body 110 through the first air inlet 113a.

That is, in the process of the air being introduced into the main body 110 through the first air inlet 113a by the vibration wave of the audio outputted to the outside through the first air inlet 113a, So that it is prevented from flowing into the air inlet 113a.

The audio bass output from the low sound output port 156 is output to the lower portion of the main body 110 through the second air inlet 113b and is also output to the inside of the main body 110 through the second air inlet 113b The inflow of air into the main body 110 due to the vibration of the audio bass output through the second air inlet 113b is suppressed through the second air inlet 113b.

That is, due to vibration of audio outputted through the second air inlet 113b to the outside, air in the air flows into the main body 110 through the second air inlet 113b, Thereby preventing the air flowing into the air inlet 113b.

The first air inlet 113a and the second air inlet 113b are arranged to face the speaker 153 and the low sound output port 156 in close proximity to each other so that the first air inlet 113a and the second air inlet 113b 2 inflow of dust into the main body 110 through the air inlet 113b can be reduced, so that failure of the electronic parts due to inflow of dust can be reduced and the service life of the product can be improved.
