Abstract
Disclosed is an air purifier capable of minimizing a decrease in the amount of air flow even when performing a function of removing moisture from the discharged air or adding an additive to the discharged air.
The air purifier includes a main body housing having a discharge port through which the introduced air is discharged, a flow path unit for guiding the air flowing by the blower to be discharged through the discharge port by forming an arc and flowing through the discharge port. One side is connected to one region of the flow path portion disposed adjacent to the discharge port so that a part of the air is introduced, and the other side is a circulation flow passage portion connected to the flow passage portion so that air is re-introduced into the flow passage portion, and the circulation flow passage portion. It includes a circulating air processing unit for removing moisture from the air flowing in the mounting or adding an additive to the air.
Dehumidification can be performed from the air discharged to the outside through the circulating air processing unit or an additive can be added to the discharged air. After being introduced into the circulating flow path part and mixed with the air discharged into the flow path part and discharged to the discharge port, the reduction of the air volume due to the function of adding dehumidification or additives can be minimized.
Description
The present invention relates to an air cleaner, and more particularly, to an air cleaner that removes moisture from the discharged air or adds an additive to the discharged air.
In general, the air purifier sucks contaminated indoor air to filter dust, odor particles, etc. contained in the air with a filter to purify the inhaled air with clean air. The air thus purified is discharged back to the outside of the air cleaner, that is, the room.
In other words, the air cleaner purifies the ambient air in which the air cleaner is installed while purifying the contaminated ambient air by discharging the clean air to the outside.
On the other hand, in recent years, air purifiers with additional functions so that the air purifier can perform a variety of functions have been released one after another. That is, air purifiers that perform various additional functions such as dehumidification function, antibacterial function, fragrance dissipation function, and vitamin discharge function have been released.
However, these functions are not always operated when the air cleaner is driven, but are operated as needed. Accordingly, the air cleaner is generally discharged from the air passage through which air processed by the additional function is discharged and the air from which only air cleaning is performed is discharged. A dual flow path with a flow path is adopted.
However, when a double flow path is employed in the air purifier, the flowing air is divided into double flow paths and discharged, so that the air volume of the discharged air is reduced.
In addition, only some of the air discharged from the air cleaner is processed by the additional function, and the remaining air is discharged from the air cleaner without the additional function, thereby reducing the effect of the additional function.
In other words, only a part of the air discharged from the air cleaner is dehumidified or only a part of the discharged air contains antibacterial substances, fragrant substances, vitamins, etc., so that antibacterial substances, fragrant substances and vitamins are evenly distributed to the outside air. There is a problem that can not spread while spreading.
An object of the present invention is to provide an air purifier capable of minimizing a decrease in the amount of air even if it performs a function of removing moisture from the discharged air or adding an additive to the discharged air.
The air purifier according to the present invention includes a main body housing having a discharge port through which the introduced air is discharged, a flow path part for guiding the air flowing by the blower to be discharged through the discharge port by forming an arc, and into the discharge port. One side is connected to one region of the flow path portion disposed adjacent to the discharge port so that some of the flowing air flows, and the other side is a circulation flow passage portion connected to the flow path portion so that air is re-introduced into the flow passage portion, and the circulation flow passage And a circulating air processing unit mounted to the unit to remove moisture from the flowing air or to add an additive to the air.
The air purifier may further include an opening and closing part provided at one side of the circulation flow path part to control inflow or blocking of air from the flow path part to the circulation flow path part.
The circulating air processing unit is installed in the mounting groove provided in the circulation flow path unit to absorb heat to one side and radiate heat to the other side, and installed on one side of the thermoelectric element to cool the air to condense moisture It can be provided with a cooling plate.
The circulating air processing unit may further include a water tank disposed at a lower portion of the cooling plate to introduce condensed water.
The water tank is formed in the circulation flow path portion is provided to be disposed in the water discharge hole for discharging moisture concave groove for temporarily storing the water falling from the cooling plate, the inlet hole is formed extending from the recess groove It may be provided.
The circulation air processing unit may be installed in a mounting groove provided in the circulation flow path unit, and may include an additive discharge unit configured to discharge the additive into air circulating by receiving the additive therein.
The additive discharge unit may be configured to include an additive receiving member having an opening therein and having an opening through which the vaporized additive is discharged.
The additive discharging unit may include a heating member disposed to be in contact with an outer surface of the additive receiving member to heat and vaporize the additive contained therein.
According to the present invention, dehumidification may be performed from the air discharged to the outside through the circulation air processing unit or an additive may be added to the discharged air. Due to the negative pressure difference, it is introduced into the circulating flow path part and then re-introduced into the flow path part to be mixed with the discharged air and discharged, thereby minimizing the reduction of the air volume by performing the function of adding dehumidification or additives.
In addition, the air treated by the circulating air processing unit is re-introduced into the flow path unit and mixed with the air discharged through the discharge port, thereby improving the diffusion efficiency of the antimicrobial substance, the fragrance emitting substance and the vitamin.
In addition, the amount of air flowing into the circulating flow path through the opening and closing part can be adjusted or whether the inflow of air can be controlled. The effect is to minimize the reduction.
