The present invention proposes an air cleaner that can be mounted inside a furniture or building in a built-in manner. In particular, the present invention proposes an air cleaner that can be installed by inserting directly into a furniture having a small thickness or by simply attaching it to a surface of a home appliance or a kitchen appliance in a building.

To this end, the inventors have developed an air cleaner in which the side thickness is slim and the intake of outside air and the exhaust of the purified air can be performed on the same side. The air purifier according to the present invention does not form an internal space in which air purification is performed separately, and the air is purified by passing through the filter part naturally in the process of discharging after the outside air is sucked in, and the sucked air is discharged to the outside through the purification process. In this process, the flow direction of the air is properly controlled to reduce the volume of the air cleaner as well as to make the air cleaner thinner and smaller.

As a result, the air cleaner can be integrated into a partition or a bed, a desk, a bookcase, or other furniture that partitions the interior space of the building, or attached to a surface. In office space in a container form, outdoor barracks of a mountain or a military unit, etc., it may be attached to an inner wall or a ceiling. Thus, rapid air purification is possible in small indoor spaces or in individual compartments within a building.

1 shows a front view of an air cleaner according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The front frame 110 is in front of the air cleaner 100. The front frame, along with the rear case to be described later, provides a passage through which air flows in the process of entering and exiting outside air. The front frame has a first opening portion 114, which is a passage through which external air flows, and a second opening portion 112 formed laterally so that the purified air is discharged to the outside in a direction opposite to the air inflow direction. There is. The first open portion and the second open portion are disposed in front of the air cleaner, and the shape or number thereof is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, a total of two second openings are arranged, one each on both sides of the first opening, and are formed in a rectangular shape, while the first openings are formed in a circular shape. The shape and number of the first and second opening parts may vary depending on the type and method of the blower fan incorporated in the air cleaner, and the shape and size of the filter.

The first open portion of the front frame is a region in which air is introduced, and an air flow blowing fan 130 is disposed inside the front frame. The blowing fan is integrated with the motor 132 connected to the rear and the central axis of the motor is connected to the center of the blowing fan. The blower fan is disposed in the first open portion and has a function of substantially covering the first open portion. When the blowing fan is operated and the outside air flows through the first opening part, a mesh network (not shown) covering the first opening part in front of the blowing fan is first removed to primarily remove bulky foreign matter contained in the outside air. It may be provided.

In the second open portion of the front frame, a filter unit 140 for air purification is disposed. The filter portion is mounted to the front frame to cover the second open portion. That is, the filter unit functions as a front cover or a cover of the air cleaner. As a result, the air discharged to the outside through the second opening portion is naturally purified while passing through the filter portion and discharged. In addition, the filter unit serves as a front outer cover of the air cleaner, there is an advantage that can be reduced the overall weight of the air cleaner without the need for a separate front case.

The filter unit may include a filter case for attaching the filter to the front frame and a filter detachably mounted inside the filter case as described below.

The rear case 120 is formed in the same size as the front frame as shown in Figure 2 and has a space therein, integrally coupled with the front frame to provide an air flow passage. The rear case may be formed in the form of a rectangular box in which the sides and the rear are sealed and the front is open. The open front side is coupled to the front frame described above, and the rear side may partially open to charge the motor and the blowing fan. The inner space of the rear frame includes a first region corresponding to the first open portion of the front frame (region indicated by identification number 134) and second regions 124a and 124b corresponding to the second open portion of the front frame. Outside air is introduced through the blower fan mounted in the first region, and the introduced air flows to move to the second region in the lateral direction. Air passages 122a and 122b are formed between the first region and the second region of the rear case to move air from the first region to the second region. The air flow path is formed in a shape similar to the rotation direction in the circumferential direction of the blower fan in consideration of the shape and method of the centrifugal blower fan used in the present embodiment. Therefore, the air flowing into the first region through the first opening by the operation of the blowing fan moves to one second region 124a through the A region and simultaneously to the other second region 124b through the B region. Move.

In FIG. 2, the rear case 134 is disposed in the central region in which the motor and the blower fan are built. If the motor and the blower fan can be mounted to the first open portion of the front frame according to the blower fan and the motor shape, the rear cover is not necessary, so the rear side of the rear case may be formed in a sealed structure.

3 is a plan view showing the top of the air cleaner in a state where the front frame and the rear case are coupled. The front frame and the rear case may be mutually coupled in various ways such as fitting, gluing, screwing, etc., and the front frame and the rear case may be formed as one body as needed. It can be seen that the second open portion of the front frame is mounted with the filter portion 140 and protrudes forward 110a, while the first open portion has a shape indented to the rear 110b. The filter unit 140 may be directly coupled to the front frame by the user. For example, it may be possible to fit in a one-touch manner to the latch formed on the front frame or the rear case surface.

When the front frame and the rear case are not manufactured as separate components and are formed as one structure, the filter unit 140 may be embedded in the second region of the rear case 120 as illustrated in FIG. 4. In this case, the overall thickness can be made even thinner, so it will be possible to develop a new fusion product integrated with interior decoration such as a picture frame or a picture.

The air cleaner according to the present invention replaces the front cover with a filter part and a blower fan, while optimizing the air flow direction and passage, thereby simplifying the air cleaner structure and allowing a slim air cleaner having a small volume and thickness. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an air flow process and a purification process in the air purifier according to the present invention. According to the operation of the blower fan 130, outside air flows into the inside through the first opening of the front frame from the front of the air cleaner (①). The blowing fan is a centrifugal fan in which wings are formed in the circumferential direction, and the air introduced from the outside is diverted from the rotation center to the circumferential direction, that is, vertically. As a result, air flows from the first region to the second region of the rear case (②). The air reaching the second region is finally discharged to the outside through the filter part due to the pressure of the air moving through the blowing fan (③). As such, the air blower changes the flow direction along with the inflow of air, thereby purifying air in the process of discharging the introduced air to the outside.

The improvement of the air flow control and air purification method not only simplifies the shape of the air cleaner, but also makes it easy to build-in furniture and upholstery by reducing the number of internal parts and significantly reducing the weight. That is, when the air cleaner is combined with furniture or home appliances, the degree of freedom of design and space layout can be maximized.

In the present invention, the filter unit purifies the air in the process of the air introduced into the air cleaner is discharged to the outside, and performs the air cleaner front cover function. To this end, the filter unit includes a filter case 141 having a frame shape as shown in FIG. 6, and includes a filter mounted to the filter case. Various types of filters may be used as needed, and in this embodiment, the carbon filter 142 is mounted for deodorization and antibacterial effects, and the HEPA filter 144 is additionally installed for dust removal and sterilization effects. As a result, the HEPA filter serves as the final front cover of the air cleaner. Each filter may vary in shape, number, and arrangement order as necessary.

In the present invention, for example, the filter unit may insert the filter case along a guide rail formed in advance in the second open portion of the front frame, or form a coupling groove in the front frame, and insert the filter case. In addition, the coupling or removal of the filter unit may use a method of moving the filter unit in a vertical direction with respect to the front frame as shown in FIG. 7. In this case, it is suitable for the built-in air cleaner on the top of the partition or the desk, the bed, the kitchen equipment, and the household appliances. On the other hand, when the air cleaner is built in the middle of the desk or partition, the wall of the indoor space, etc., it is difficult to remove the filter from the upper part, so as shown in FIG. 8, the filter part is detached from the front of the air cleaner. 140-> 140 ', attachment: 140'-> 140).

On the other hand, the air purifier according to the present invention both the inlet and exhaust of the air is made in front of the air cleaner so that the air can be cleaned in a built-in or mounted on another structure. In this case, the interference between the incoming air and the discharged air occurs, so that the air in the space that needs to be cleaned cannot go through the purification process and purification can be limited to only some air. In order to prevent the interference between the inflow air and the exhaust air, it is preferable to form an air direction control vane 150 in front of the filter unit as shown in FIG. 9. For example, the direction control vane may be partially fixed to the filter case of the filter unit, and may be coupled to be rotatable, and may be partially fixed to the second open portion of the front frame. For example, the direction control blade may be mounted to force the direction of the discharged air from side to side as shown in FIG. 9, or alternatively, may be installed to control in the vertical direction. In addition, the first open portion of the front frame may be provided with a separate direction control vane to control the direction of the inlet air.

Air cleaner according to the present invention can be built-in or attached to a variety of furniture or residential appliances small in volume, slim in shape and small in weight. 10 illustrates a partition 200 disposed in an office or the like to partition a large space into several areas. In the center of the partition is an air cleaner 100 according to the present invention is built in a built-in manner. Therefore, it is possible to effectively purify the air quickly in a small space where an individual sees office work. Since the size of the air cleaner is small and the purification space does not need to be large, the components included in the air cleaner are not only small but also have low power consumption and minimize noise. The air cleaner may be embedded at the top of the partition, if necessary, rather than in the middle position (100 ').

As described above, the air cleaner according to the present invention can be integrated with furniture, upholstery, and space structures such as partitions, thereby greatly increasing the value of other products. In addition, by purifying only the space necessary for a worker who works for a long time or a researcher who concentrates on academic research in a short time, work efficiency and concentration can be increased, and fatigue can be prevented from accumulating.

The present invention has been exemplarily described through the preferred embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiments, and various forms within the scope of the technical idea presented in the present invention, specifically, the claims. May be modified, changed, or improved.
