Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an air cleaner and a filter life indication method thereof.
An air purifier is a device that purifies polluted air and converts it into fresh air. The air cleaner passes air through a filter to remove dust and bacteria and to remove odors.
The purifying performance of the air purifier is directly related to the life of the filter. If the air purifier is used with the life of the filter at the end of life, various harmful substances may be discharged into the air by the air purifier.
Therefore, it is necessary to continuously check and display the life of the filter of the air cleaner.
There is a need in the art for an air cleaner and a method for indicating the filter life thereof.
In order to solve the said subject, 1st aspect of this invention provides the filter life display method of an air cleaner. The filter life display method may include determining a service life of a filter by detecting an operation state of a motor for driving a fan, determining a remaining life of the filter based on a maximum usable life and the determined service life; Calculating a percentage of the remaining lifetime relative to the maximum usable lifetime to determine a residual lifetime ratio, and displaying the residual lifetime of the filter on a filter residual lifetime indicator according to the determined residual lifetime ratio.
A second aspect of the present invention provides an air cleaner. The air cleaner senses the operating state of the motor for driving the fan to determine the service life of the filter, and determines the remaining life of the filter based on the maximum service life and the determined service life, and the And a filter life determination unit configured to calculate a percentage of the remaining life to determine the remaining life ratio, and a display unit to display the remaining life of the filter on the filter remaining life indicator according to the determined remaining life ratio.
In addition, the solution of the above-mentioned problems does not list all the features of the present invention. The various features of the present invention and the advantages and effects thereof will be more fully understood by reference to the following specific embodiments.
An air cleaner and its filter life indication method can be provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.
The present invention will be described below with respect to the air cleaner and its filter life indication method. In particular, the present invention proposes an air cleaner and a filter life display method thereof for displaying the remaining life of the filter step by step using the filter remaining life indicator. In this way, the user can check the remaining life of the filter to recognize the specific replacement time of the filter.

The air cleaner then terminates the algorithm according to the invention.
On the other hand, the air cleaner may be composed of a plurality of filters, the replacement cycle for each filter may be different. For example, a pre-filter disposed at the outermost side to remove relatively large dust contained in air may have a shorter replacement cycle than other filters, and a hepa filter disposed relatively inside to remove fine dust. In this case, the replacement cycle may be relatively long compared to other filters. Therefore, it is necessary to display the remaining life of each filter so that the user can identify the remaining life of each filter to distinguish between the filter that needs to be replaced and the filter that does not need to be replaced.
To this end, the present invention further proposes an air cleaner and a filter life display method thereof for displaying the remaining life of the filter step by step using the filter remaining life indicator for each filter. Here, the replacement of the filter having a short replacement cycle affects the remaining life ratio of the filter having a long replacement cycle. For example, an air cleaner consisting of an A filter with a replacement cycle of 3 months and a B filter with a replacement cycle of 12 months, if you replace the A filter after 3 months of use, the replacement cycle is Less dust collection can be achieved with a 12 month B filter, which increases the remaining life of the B filter with a 12 month replacement cycle. Therefore, if a filter having a relatively short replacement cycle is replaced, it is necessary to increase the remaining life ratio of the filter having a long replacement cycle. On the other hand, replacing a filter with a relatively long replacement cycle does not affect the percentage of life remaining of a filter with a short replacement cycle.

Referring to FIG. 4, in

In
As such, the replacement of the A filter with a relatively short replacement cycle affects the remaining life ratio of the B filter with a long replacement cycle, thereby raising the residual life ratio of the B filter with the long replacement cycle. When the remaining life ratio of the B filter increases, the remaining life indicator bar displayed on the corresponding filter remaining life indicator may increase, or may be maintained according to the existing remaining life ratio.
On the other hand, when it is determined in
Figure 5 is an exemplary view showing a comparison of the residual life ratio with time of the air cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention and the prior art.
Referring to FIG. 5, the air filter comprising an A filter having a replacement cycle of 3 months and a B filter having a replacement cycle of 12 months, when the prior art is applied, the remaining life of the B filter having a replacement cycle of 12 months The rate decreases constantly with time, regardless of the replacement of the A filter with a replacement cycle of 3 months. Accordingly, despite the fact that the new filter A has less dust collection on the B filter and the remaining life of the B filter is increased, the air purifier has come to replace the B filter after 12 months of the B filter replacement cycle. You will be informed. However, when the present invention is applied, as the remaining life ratio of the B filter having the replacement cycle of 12 months is increased by the replacement of the A filter having the replacement cycle of 3 months, it is possible to recognize the user with a more accurate replacement time. Through this, the present invention can prevent unnecessary frequent replacement of the filter having a relatively long replacement cycle.
While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is capable of various modifications within the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited by the illustrated embodiments, but should be determined by the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
