Subsequently, a transparent partition wall 130 is formed in the space portion 121, which is divided into an insect trap space 121a (see FIG. 3) and an air purification space 121b (see FIG. 3).

3 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating the driving pattern of the air cleaner, which will be described with reference to the drawing.

As shown in FIG. 3, the transparent partition wall 130 partitions the space portion 121 into an insect trapping space 121a and an air purification space 121b. At this time, the nesting space 121a is a space including a bottom portion on which the suction port 124 side and the sticking sticking plate 123 is located, and the remaining space is an air purification space 121b.

On the other hand, the lower end of the transparent partition wall 130 should be spaced apart from the bottom by a predetermined interval. This is to secure a movement path through which the air introduced through the suction port 124 can move to the air purification space 121b through the trapping space 121a.

The transparent partition 130 is a transparent material that can transmit light, the air purifier 100 according to the present invention will be applicable if any of the transparent material, the implementation of the transparent partition 130 according to the present invention For example, polycarbonate developed by General Electric was used.

Polycarbonate is the most advanced engineering plastic among the transparent plastics. Bisphenol A is a raw material and has excellent impact resistance, heat resistance, and light resistance. Therefore, due to the high heat of the light emitting member 150 adjacent to the transparent partition wall 130, it is not easily deformed or deformed, and has excellent thermal insulation, so that the air filter 160 and the photocatalyst are positioned in the air purification space 121b. Since it prevents the alteration and deformation by blocking the heat conducted to the net 170, it will be suitable for the air cleaner 100.

On the other hand, the fitting groove 122 is formed on the inner wall of the housing 120, through which the transparent partition wall 130 can be placed.

One end of the air filter 160 is connected to the lower end of the transparent partition wall 130, and the space part 121 is partitioned into the insect trap space 121a and the air purification space 121b together with the transparent partition wall 130. The two spaces 121a and 121b are sealed to each other so that air can only be transported through the air filter 160.

The air filter 160 filters and purifies foreign substances contained in the air, and various conventional air filters may be applied.

In the embodiment according to the present invention, as the air filter 160, a HEPA filter and / or a carbon filter may be used.

The HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestor) filter can remove 99.97% of particles (dust, bacteria, viruses, etc.) having a self-purification efficiency of greater than or equal to 0.3 micron, and is mainly made of synthetic fibers.

In addition, according to the installation place of the air cleaner 100 according to the present invention, the Ultra Low Penetration Absolute filter may be used instead of the HEPA filter.

The Ulpa filter is used in semiconductors, biochemical markets, clean rooms, etc., which require high quality first grade, and the efficacy range of the Ulpa filter is 0.1 to 0.01 micron when compared to the 0.3 micron efficacy range of the HEPA filter. Purification efficiency of

For reference, the Ulpa filter can remove up to 99.999% (five nine) to 99.9999% (six nine), such as fine dust, viruses, bacteria, dandruff, mold, pollen, radon decay products, and various soot.

The carbon filter is widely used as a filter for filtering volatile organic compounds-VOCs (VOCs) in the air, and a description thereof will be omitted.

The photocatalyst network 170 is mounted in the air purification space 121b to receive the UVa irradiated from the light emitting member 150. The photocatalyst network 170 is in the form of a network through which air can pass, and a photocatalyst is applied to a surface thereof to receive UVa and accelerate oxidation of materials contained in the air.

The photocatalyst has an excellent effect on the decomposition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air as well as sterilization through a strong oxidizing power. In addition, the photocatalyst decomposes NOx gas such as nitrogen dioxide and ozone gas into a harmless form.

In an embodiment of the present invention, a titanium oxide material may be applied as the photocatalyst.

For reference, if the content of titanium oxide (Tio2) is 3% or more, there is no problem in exerting the effect indoors, and when the required ultraviolet light is 1uW / cm2 or more, there is no problem in producing the effect.

Subsequently, the photocatalyst network 170 is inclined so that the front surface thereof faces the light emitting member 150 so as to efficiently receive UVa irradiated from the light emitting member 150 to increase the oxidation rate. The rear side of the) is arranged with a reflector plate 140 so that the smooth photo-acidification phenomenon occurs in the rear of the photocatalyst network 170.

The blowing fan 190 causes the intake force of the air purifier 100, and generates an air flow to exhaust the intake of the air and suction of the blade insect F, as well as the purified air.

The air through the blower fan 190 is not immediately discharged to the outside, but passes through the cap 180.

The cap 180 closes the upper surface of the housing 120, and a hollow 181 is formed inside. On the other hand, the bottom plate 184 forming the bottom surface of the cap 180 is formed with an inlet port 184a, the inlet port 184a allows the air discharged from the blowing fan 190 to flow into the hollow 181. It becomes the entrance.

Subsequently, air introduced into the intake port 184a is discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 185 formed at a predetermined position of the cap 180.

The hollow 181 is equipped with a manipulator 183 for electrically controlling the light emitting member 150 and the blowing fan 190. The manipulator 183 is energized with the light emitting member 150 and the blowing fan 190 via a wire, and includes a switch 183a capable of operating the same from the outside.

In the embodiment according to the present invention, each switch for controlling the light emitting member 150 and the blowing fan 190 is formed one by one, protruding to the outside through the switch protrusion 182 formed in the cap 180 do. In addition, in the embodiment according to the present invention, the manipulator 183 is assembled to the manipulator fixing point 184c on the bottom plate 184, so that the light emitting member 150 is fixed to the wire drawn out from the manipulator 183. The bottom plate 184 may further include a wire through hole 184d through which the electric wire passes so as to be connected to the 151 and the blowing fan 190.

Meanwhile, a plurality of discharge holes 184b are formed at the suction port 124 side of the bottom plate 184.

Since the discharge hole 184b communicates with the hollow 181, air is discharged due to the air pressure introduced through the inlet 184a. In this case, since the discharge hole 184b is formed to discharge air downward from the suction port 124 side of the insect trap space 121a, the air discharged through the discharge hole 184b is externally provided through the suction hole 124. It is not discharged to the sticking sticky plate 123 is directed toward.

This accelerates the airflow to activate the air flow in the space 121, and forcibly moves the attracted beetle F and the like downward to adhere to the insect repellent sticky plate 123.

According to the present invention as described above, by carrying out the air purification function together with the insect trapping can be efficiently carried out the clean operation of the indoor and outdoor air, also excellent in the insect repelling and air purification effect to exert an excellent effect on air cleaning .
