Here, in an embodiment different from the embodiment, the structure of the filter provided inside the purifier 110 may be different, and the same reference numerals are used for the same components having the same functions, and redundant explanations are omitted . In addition, in the embodiment and the other embodiments, the positions and structures of the filters provided in the same purifier 110 are differently applied, and various modifications are possible as they are used alternately or spaced apart from each other .

1 to 8, the clean apparatus 100 may include a purifier 110, a sterilizer 120, a main body 130, and a cradle 140.

The purifier 110 may have a fan 111 for sucking and sucking air therein and a filter 116, 1161 or 1162 to be described later. The purifier 110 may include an upper end portion of the cleaner 100, A first hole 112 is provided on one side and a second hole 113 which is larger than the first hole 112 is provided on the other side to suck air to filter out or sterilize foreign substances in the air .

5, the purifier 110 operates the fan 111 in the first mode to suck air through the first hole 112, and sucked air is supplied to the filter 116 And then discharged to the second hole 113. [

6, the purifier 110 operates the fan 111 in the second mode to suck air through the second hole 113, and the sucked air flows through the filter 116 to the first And can be discharged to the hole 112.

Here, the flow direction of the air can be changed by changing the driving direction of the fan 111 according to the first mode and the second mode, and the first mode is a mode for sucking dust in the air, It may be a mode of sterilizing by sucking in air.

In addition, the number of revolutions of the fan 111 may be varied depending on the first mode and the second mode. For example, in the first mode, the number of revolutions is increased so that a high speed is performed for sucking air, 2 mode, the number of revolutions can be made low in comparison with the first mode so that air sterilization is stably performed.

At this time, the first hole 112 is formed to be smaller than the second hole 113, so that the first hole 112, which forms a narrow area in the first mode, becomes an inlet and sucks air at a high speed to suck the dust In the second mode, the second hole 113 serves as an inlet to provide a large area as compared to the first hole 112, so that a large amount of air can be sucked and sterilized.

For example, the purging portion 110 may have a trapezoidal shape or a triangular shape. The purging portion 110 may have a cross-sectional shape that increases from one side to the other. Here, the trapezoidal shape or the triangular shape may be a rounded corner so that the user can feel a sense of security when gripping. In addition, the second hole 113 is formed on the other side with a large area, (112) may be formed.

Further, the purifying section 110 may include a nozzle 115 and a filter 116, 1161, and 1162 provided to cover the first hole 112, and the nozzle 115 may include the first hole 112, And the second hole 113 or cover either the first hole 112 or the second hole 113 (this embodiment covers an example of covering the second hole 113) ).

The nozzle 115 is formed with holes smaller than the first hole 112 or the second hole 113 so that the first hole 112 or the second hole 113 is interfered with by the user's choice The nozzle 115 covers the first hole 112 and the second hole 113 and reduces the opening area or uses the opening area of the first hole 112 and the second hole 113 as a doorway, The size of the opening 115 can be adjusted depending on whether the nozzle 115 is installed or not, and the nozzles 115 may be provided in a plurality of different sizes of the openings, and may be replaced according to the use state.

The second hole 113 is provided with a nozzle 115 and the first hole 112 is provided with a filter lid 117 for supporting the filter 116 to support the filter 116.

The filter 116 filters the fine dust from the air discharged through the first hole 112, or deodorizes the air discharged through the first hole 112 or discharges the air through the first hole 112 Fragrance can be given to the air. The filter 116 may be made of different materials according to its usage, and may be used in accordance with the user's choice.

In addition, the filter 116 can be made of an adsorption filter, so that fine dust can be managed by adsorbing the dust without emitting fine dust, and it can also be provided in the second hole 113. In addition, in this embodiment, the dust container (not shown) may be omitted, and the size of the purifier 110 may be minimized. At this time, the filter 116 may be changed from the first mode to the second mode, or may be changed when the mode is changed from the second mode to the first mode.

If the air flow in the first mode for dust suction and the air flow in the second mode for sterilization are opposite, if the opposite air flow is applied to one filter 116, There is a risk that the dust or the like adsorbed on the filter 116 may be separated from the filter 116 in the second mode.

7 and 8, the filter is divided into a first mode filter 1161 and a second mode filter 1162, and the dampers 1101, 1102 and a guide 1103 can be used. The first damper 1101 adjacent to the first hole 112 (see FIGS. 5 and 6), the second damper 1102 adjacent to the second hole 113, and the second damper 1102 adjacent to the first hole 112 A guide 1103 provided between the first hole 112 and the second hole 113 and the guide 1103 has a first opening (not shown) opened by the first damper 1101 and a second opening (Not shown) that is opened or closed by the first opening 1102.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, in the first mode, the first damper 1101 is naturally kept closed by the flow of the air flowing into the first hole 112, And passes through the first mode filter 1161. The air then exits the second opening and the second hole 113 while naturally pushing the second damper 1102.

8, the air introduced into the second hole 113 can maintain the second damper 1102 in a closed state, and the air can be supplied to the second mode filter 1162 The first damper 1101 can be pushed out to the first opening and the first hole 112. [

In this case, since a flow of air is generated only in one direction in the filter for the first mode 1161 and the filter for the second mode 1162, the problem that the dust collected by the filter in the first mode falls off in the second mode Can be prevented.

This structure and arrangement can also be applied to a dirt bin, or this embodiment can comprise all configurations which, unlike the above, allow air flow in the filter to act only in one direction.

However, in the first mode, the flow path area of the air gradually increases from the first hole 112 to the second hole 113, and the flow path area of air in the second mode is increased from the second hole 113 to the first hole 112 ), And can be kept gradually reduced. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, various modifications are possible as the flow path is gradually reduced.

For example, when switching between the first mode and the second mode, the filters 1161 and 1162 are automatically rotated to allow the air flow applied to the filters 1161 and 1162 to be unidirectional. At this time, the filters 1161 and 1162 can be rotated all at once, or they can be separately rotated to be divided into small portions in order to secure a turning radius.

On the other hand, a dust container (not shown) is provided in the purifier 110, and air or dust sucked from the first hole 112 may be stacked or stored. For example, the dust container may be detachably attached to the cleaning unit 110 so that collected dust can be discharged to the outside. When the dust container is installed in the cleaner 100, And the dust receptacle can be formed in a mesh shape so that the dust introduced through the first hole 112 can be discharged through the second hole 113. [

That is, the dust box can form fine holes of a predetermined size or less so as to collect dust and discharge air. In addition, the shape of the dust container is not limited as it forms a bag shape or a plate shape according to the size of the space provided inside the purifying part 110.

The sterilizing unit 120 may be provided inside the purifying unit 110 and is preferably provided to be interfered with the second hole 113 so that the sterilizing unit 120 is exposed to the outside or the first hole 112 and the second hole 113, It is possible to irradiate the sterilized ultraviolet ray between the first hole 112 and the second hole 113. In this case,

For example, the sterilizing unit 120 may include a plurality of ultraviolet LEDs, and a plurality of ultraviolet LEDs may receive sterilized ultraviolet rays by receiving power from a battery (not shown).

The sterilizing unit 120 is driven together with the cleaning unit 110 to suck dust in the fibers by the cleaning unit 110 and sterilize the fibers by irradiating ultraviolet rays toward the fibers in the sterilizing unit 120 . Alternatively, the sterilizing unit 120 may be operated in a state in which the sterilizing unit 120 is mounted on the cradle 140 to sterilize the air introduced through the second hole 113.

The sterilizing part 120 irradiates ultraviolet rays through the LED and can be irradiated to both sides of the second hole 113 with respect to the first hole 112. Alternatively, The ultraviolet rays are blocked and ultraviolet rays can be irradiated from one side of the frame to irradiate ultraviolet rays from either the first hole 112 or the second hole 113. [

The main body 130 may be provided on one side of the purifier 110 and the main body 130 may extend below the purifier 110. For example, the body portion 130 and the purifier portion 110 may be integrally formed to have a vertically erected bar shape, so that the user can easily place the body portion 130 You can hold it in your hand. At this time, the end face of the main body 130 may be the same as or similar to the end face of the purifier 110, and may have a trapezoidal or triangular cross-section.

In addition, the main body 130 may have a handle 132 for carrying. The handle 132 may be formed of a hole formed through a part of the main body 130. However, the handle 132 is not limited thereto and may be a structure protruding to one side of the main body 130. Various modifications are possible.

The upper and lower widths of the main body 130 may be equal to each other so as to prevent the size of the main body 130 from expanding. Lt; / RTI >

In addition, the main body 130 may be provided with a switch 131 for operating the fan 111 or switching the mode. The switch 131 may be operated as a button, for example, adjacent to the handle so that the user can manipulate the switch 131 using the thumb while holding the main body 130. [

In addition, the main body 130 may be provided with a battery for supplying power to the inside of the purifier 110, the fan 111, etc., and the battery may be charged.

The holder 140 can be mounted on the main body 130 or can be charged with the mounting of the main body 130. For example, the battery may be separated from the main body 130 and may be charged in a state of being seated on the base 140 separately from the main body 130, or may be connected to the base 130, 140 so that charging can be performed. At this time, the cradle 140 can receive power from the outside to supply power to the battery.

In addition, the cradle 140 may include a sensor 141 and a control unit (not shown). The sensor 141 may be provided on the cradle 140 to measure the air condition and send a signal to the control unit. The purifier 110 can be operated in the second mode when it receives a signal from the sensor 141 and it is measured that the air is polluted more than the reference value.
