Description

Air cleaner {Air cleaner}

The present invention relates to an air purifier, and more particularly, to an air purifier that purifies indoor air, and more particularly, to an air purifier configured to suck and purify air three-dimensionally in various directions and to discharge the air upward.

An air purifier is a device that purifies contaminated air and converts it into fresh air. The contaminated air is sucked into a fan to collect fine dust or bacteria by a filter, and deodorizes odors such as body odor and tobacco smell. .

In general, air cleaners are classified according to the air purification method according to the filter. Filters used in air cleaners are classified into mechanical, electric, and ionic types according to their types, and each method has advantages and disadvantages.

For example, mechanical is a method of purifying air by using a dust collecting filter to remove foreign substances (fungus, pet hair, pollen, etc.) from the air passing through it. Such a mechanical method effectively removes foreign substances from the air, but the filter has to be replaced periodically, and there is a disadvantage that it cannot remove odors, viruses, bacteria, and the like.

By passing air through the + and-plates spaced at predetermined intervals, the electrical forms + poles on foreign matter particles in the air passing through the + pole plates, and + foreign matter particles with poles are electrically adsorbed on the pole plates. The air is purified. This electric type has the advantage that it can be implemented in a relatively small size, but when the foreign matter is attached to the + plate and the plate, the purification ability drops sharply. Likewise, there is a disadvantage that can not remove odors, viruses, bacteria, etc.

The ion type is a method of purifying air by injecting ions into the air to allow the ions to be adsorbed to the foreign matter particles, and then passing these air through the positive electrode dust collector plate to adsorb the foreign matter particles to which the ions are attached. This ion type has the advantage of very low noise by not using a separate fan, but the dust collector must be cleaned frequently, it can remove odors, viruses, bacteria and the like.

In addition, it is possible to remove odors in the air using activated carbon, but a large amount of activated carbon is required for effective odor removal, and this method also has a disadvantage in that viruses or bacteria cannot be removed.

In recent years, various methods can be used in combination, or by taking advantage of each method, air purifying ability can be improved. Furthermore, research and development of air purifiers, which can remove bacteria or viruses, and inexpensive maintenance costs, are actively conducted. have.

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

12 is a perspective view showing the entire suction structure of the air purifier according to the present invention. When power is supplied to the air purifier by applying power, the user operates the operation button 620 to select a required function. do. 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 air inlet 260f on both sides sucks air from the front side.

In addition, the side panel guides 530 formed at the upper and lower ends of the side panel 500 and the side surfaces of the both sides by spaced spaces generated when the side surfaces of the front frame 100 and the rear frame 300 are coupled. The suction port 260s sucks air from both sides.

In addition, the side suction holes 260s 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 260 s 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 rear suction holes 260r on both sides and bottom surfaces of the rear panel guide 420 formed at the edges of the rear panel 400 and a predetermined space generated when the rear frame 300 is coupled. Inhale air from the rear.

Meanwhile, the air cleaner is spaced apart from the bottom surface by a predetermined distance by the support members 920 and 940, and a lower surface suction port 260b formed on the bottom surface of the front frame 100 and the rear frame 300 is generated to provide air downward. To inhale 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 sterilized by ozone generated from the ozone generator 240. That is, the ozone is injected into the outside air sucked from the outside to sterilize the air sucked in and the filter assembly 730.

More specifically, the sucked air passes through the filter assembly 730 in front of the inside of the air cleaner. At the same time, the ozone generator 240 operates when power is applied to the ozone generator 240 that forms ozone at the rear of the front panel 200 and generates ozone.

When power is applied to the ozone generator 242 that generates ozone in the ozone generator 240, and the control device of the PCB substrate 242a receives power, the ozone powder connected to the ozone generator 242 is supplied. The sander 244 generates a high pressure electric flow to the flow of oxygen to cause corona discharge, generates ozone, and reacts with organic materials such as bacteria and bacteria to generate oxygen.

The ozone generated by the ozone generator 240 is converted to ozone (O ₃ ) oxygen molecules (O ₂ ) through the corona discharge, the ozone reacts with contaminants such as mold, viruses, bacteria, E. coli, odors, etc. By losing one oxygen atom, it is converted into clean oxygen molecule again.

Normally ozone is a colorless and irritating gas with strong oxidizing power. Ozone boils at approximately 115 ° C and dissolves at 192.5 ° C. Ozone gas is 1.5 times heavier than air, so when ozone is generated, it sinks under the air.

On the other hand, ozone has been used safely and largely in various fields, such as large-scale water purification plants in Europe and the United States for more than 100 years, and naturally forms an ozone layer in the global stratosphere to protect humans from strong solar ultraviolet rays.

The ozone has a permissible concentration of 0.1 ppm in a long working environment, fresh air in the beach contains about 0.05 ppm of natural ozone, and fresh air in the forest often contains about 0.03 ppm of ozone. Ordinary people can detect the smell of ozone in the 0.01 ~ 0.03ppm in the air.

In addition, ozone has a strong bactericidal power to remove bacteria and viruses, and also has a strong bleaching power, and has an excellent effect of reacting with organic substances of tobacco smoke, other odorous gases, and various organic substances.

As described above, strong ozone is generated from the ozone generator 240 installed at the rear of the front panel 200 so that air sucked in various directions is sterilized before passing through the filter assembly 730. In the filter assembly 730 adjacent to the ozone generator 240, it is difficult for bacteria and the like to proliferate due to the action of ozone.

On the other hand, since the filter assembly 730 is composed of a plurality of filter assemblies and has various functions, the filter assembly 730 removes foreign substances such as dust in the air as well as odors.

That is, in the prefilter 730a, dust of relatively large size contained in the inhaled air is primarily filtered out, and fine dust passing through the prefilter 730a is filtered by the HEPA filter 730b. More than 99.97% of fine dust of 0.3 micrometer (micrometer) is almost eliminated.

The odor particles contained in the air passing through the hepa filter 730b are first removed by the deodorization filter 730c, and then carbon nanoparticles having stronger odor removal power than the deodorization filter 730c. It is removed again by the ball (CNB) filter 730d.

In the ozone removal filter 730e, ozone generated in the ozone generator 240 is removed, and in the nanosilver filter 730f, bacteria propagation in the filter is suppressed.

The air from which foreign substances and odors are removed while passing through the filter assembly 730 is introduced into the fan 820 installed at the center of the orifice 800 and then 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. At this time, the side panel 500 is removed, and then the filter door 760 provided inside the side panel 500 is removed to remove the filter of the filter case 720 inside the filter guide 740. Pull it out to slide and replace the required filter.

If the new filter assembly 530 is to be mounted, the reverse order of separation described above is used.

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 embodiment, the filter assembly 730 is a prefilter 730a, a hepa filter 730b, a deodorization filter 730c, a carbon nanoball filter 730d, an ozone removal filter 730e, and a nanosilver filter. Although coupled in the order of 730f, it is obvious that such a coupling configuration may change each filter position as necessary.

In the above embodiment, the filter assembly 730 is a prefilter 730a, a hepa filter 730b, a deodorization filter 730c, a carbon nanoball filter 730d, an ozone removal filter 730e, and a nanosilver filter 730f. Although a total of six filters are shown as an example, one or more of these filters may be excluded or a separate filter may be added.

In the air cleaner according to the present invention as described in detail above, the ozone generator is installed at the rear of the front panel. The front panel is spaced apart from the front panel by a predetermined distance so that the ozone generator can be installed on the rear of the front panel.

Therefore, when the intake air is purified inside, the harmful organic substances are firstly removed by the strong sterilizing power of ozone generated by the ozone generator before passing through the filter assembly, thereby improving the quality of the air purified through the filter It can be expected to increase the customer's satisfaction with air purification performance.

In addition, the rear panel of the front panel where the suction efficiency is the highest while all the suction air is concentrated while installing the ozone generator by utilizing the space that is originally generated without having to configure an additional space for installing the ozone generator, By installing the ozone generator in front of the filter assembly, it is possible to expect the effect of creating a more comfortable indoor environment by realizing a space saving effect and maximizing sterilization effect.
