Is formed. The suction port 12 ′ is provided with a removable suction grill 12 ″ to facilitate replacement or maintenance of the filter.

In addition, the rear plate (not shown) and the side plate 14 which are combined with the front plate 12 to form the exterior of the air cleaner 10 are integrally formed. A handle 14 ′ is formed on both sides of the side plate 14 so that the user can grip the air cleaner 10 to facilitate movement of the side plate 14, and the air cleaner 10 is disposed at a lower end of the rear plate. A power plug P for supplying power to the furnace is formed.

Inside the air cleaner 10, a filter assembly 18 for purifying the air sucked through the inlet 12 'from the outside of the air cleaner 10 is configured. The filter assembly 18 is composed of a plurality of filter assembly is configured to have a variety of functions such as removal of foreign matter in the air, as well as bactericidal and antibacterial action.

That is, the filter assembly 18 includes a prefilter 18a for removing a relatively large dust contained in the inhaled air, a deodorizing filter 18b for removing odors, and a dust collecting filter 18c for collecting dust by an electrical action. And a hepa filter 18d for removing fine dust.

An upper portion of the filter assembly 18 includes a fan (not shown) and a motor (not shown) for allowing external air to be sucked through the filter assembly 18, and an orifice (not shown) for effectively flowing air. Not formed) is formed. In addition, the lower surface of the air cleaner 10 is provided with a moving wheel (W) to facilitate the movement of the air cleaner 10 in a predetermined space.

Hereinafter, the operation of the air cleaner having the configuration as described above will be described.

12 is a state diagram showing an intake / discharge structure of the air cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 13 is a plan view showing the intake discharge structure of the air cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When power is supplied to the air cleaner by applying the power, the user operates the operation button 620 to select the required function. When the operation button 620 is pressed, the fan 820 is rotated by the driving of the motor 840 to inhale the air of the space to be purified into the air cleaner.

At the same time, the louver 660 is rotated upwardly about the rotation axis to open the discharge port 340, and the air purified in the air cleaner is discharged upward through the discharge port 340 and the louver 660. .

At this time, looking at the structure in which the air of the space to be purified is sucked, first by the spaced space generated when the front panel guide 280 and the front frame 100 formed along the edge of the front panel 200 is coupled The front side air is sucked from the side suction holes 260a on both sides.

In addition, the side suction holes on both sides by spaced spaces generated when the side panel guide 530 and the front frame 100 and the side of the rear frame 300 are formed at the upper and lower ends of the side panel 500. At 540, air from both sides is sucked.

In addition, the side suction holes 540 are further generated on both sides of the side deco 510 formed in the substantially center portion of the side panel 500 to suck air from both sides. Accordingly, four side suction holes 540 are formed at the left and right sides of the air cleaner, respectively, to suck side air.

In addition, the rear panel 400 also has side suction holes 360a on both sides and a bottom surface of the rear panel guide 420 formed at the edge of the rear panel 400 by a predetermined space generated when the rear panel 300 is coupled to the rear panel 300. Inhaling the air from the rear.

On the other hand, the air cleaner is spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the bottom surface by the support members (920,940), the lower surface suction openings (260b, 360b) formed on the lower surface of the front frame 100 and the rear frame 300 is formed downward To inhale air smoothly.

Therefore, the air of the indoor space for air purification is sucked into the air cleaner through the front / rear, left / right, and bottom of the air cleaner by the rotational force of the fan 820. That is, three-dimensional suction of indoor air occurs over the entire direction except for the upper surface where the discharge port 340 of the air cleaner is located.

The air sucked into the air cleaner in three dimensions as described above is introduced into the suction through holes 140 and 320 and passes through the filter assembly 700. At this time, since the filter assembly 700 is configured by combining a plurality of filters 730 and have various functions, such filters 730, that is, the pre-filter, hepa filter, dust collecting filter, antibacterial filter, etc. Foreign substances such as dust in the air as well as odors are removed.

The air from which foreign substances and odors are removed while passing through the filter assembly 700 flows into the fan 820 installed at the center of the orifice 800, and then is discharged in the centrifugal direction by the rotational force of the fan 820. The air discharged by the fan 820 is discharged back to the indoor space through the discharge port 340 formed on the upper surface of the air cleaner.

Then, after using such an air cleaner for a long time, the filter should be replaced. In this case, the side panel 500 is removed, and then the filter guide door 760 provided inside the side panel 500 is removed to filter the filter case 720 inside the filter guide 740. After pulling out to slide 730, the necessary filter may be replaced.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-exemplified embodiments, and many modifications are possible based on the present invention to those skilled in the art within the above technical scope.

For example, in the above, the filter case 720 is slid to the side and configured to be accessible, but it is also possible to configure the filter case to easily enter and exit in any direction without doing so.

The filter assembly structure of the air cleaner according to the present invention as described in detail above was configured to allow the filter to be seated on the filter case and to slide in and out toward the side of the filter guide.

That is, a filter composed of a plurality of filters is seated on the filter case, and the filter guide and the front frame are coupled to the filter case entrance, and the filter case is configured to slide to allow easy access.

Therefore, since the filter case is slid to the side of the filter guide and can be easily detached, the user can easily separate the filter case from the air purifier as necessary to facilitate the replacement of the filter, and also to replace the filter It is expected to save time required.

In addition, such a filter replacement operation is easy to maintain a clean indoor environment by providing clean air at all times in the space where the air cleaner is installed, as well as improving the user's awareness of using the air cleaner. It is also expected that the product purchasing desire will increase.
