5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the tower air aid, and FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of an upper portion of the tower air aid.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the tower air purifiers 2 and 3 are provided in a substantially vertically long cylinder, and a base 21 for seating may be provided at the lower end.

A suction grill 22 having a plurality of holes may be provided below the outer wall 27 of the tower air purifier 2 and 3.

In the inner space of the tower air purifier (2) (3), from the bottom to the top, a filter (23), a fan (24) supported by a fan housing (25), an air guide (26) for adjusting the blowing direction Can be placed. By the negative pressure provided by the fan 24, the clean air passing through the filter 23 may be blown by the air guide 26 with the wind direction adjusted.

A handle 22 is provided on the upper end of the outer wall 27 so that the user can easily lift and move the tower air aids 2 and 3.

A display 28 may be provided on the upper surface of the air guide 26. In the display 28, a first display mode only for the tower air purifier (2) (3) itself, a second display mode for the entire air cleaning system, or a first display mode and the second display mode are mixed and used. The third display mode to be displayed may be displayed.

Five wireless transmission/reception units 281 may be provided on the upper rim of the tower air aids 2 and 3. The wireless transmission/reception unit 281 of the tower air aid (2) (3) performs the same configuration, the same function, and the same function as the wireless transceiver (111, 112, 113) of the cradle air aid (1). can do.

It has already been described that the wireless transmitting/receiving unit 281 can find out the indoor space in which the air cleaning system according to the embodiment is placed as map information.

It is possible to operate the air cleaning system of the embodiment by using the map information identified by the cradle air aid 1 and the tower air aids 2 and 3. By cooperating with the cradle air purifier (1) and the tower air purifier (2) (3) provided to the air cleaning system, optimal cooperative operation can be performed when operating the air purifier for the indoor space. have.

By using the map information on the display, the user can intuitively know the operating state of the air cleaning system.

7 is a view for explaining the operation of the air cleaning system according to the embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 7, the tower air aids 2 and 3 are mounted on the cradle air aid 1. A display 152 is provided on the inclined surface 15. The display 152 is currently in the second display mode showing the operation of the entire air cleaning system according to the present embodiment.

On the display 152, an indoor space based on the map information may display boundary line information 154, self-location information 153, and flow information 155 indicating wind direction, air volume, wind speed, pollution degree, etc. have.

Specifically, the boundary line information 154 indicates a boundary line of an indoor space based on map information identified by the wireless transmission/reception unit.

The magnetic location information 153 is to identify the location where the air cleaning system is currently placed, more precisely, the location where the cradle is placed, together with the boundary line information 154 on the map information, and display it together with the boundary line information 154 .

The flow information 155 may indicate the wind direction/air volume/wind speed/pollution degree, etc. of the clean air blown when the air cleaning system of the embodiment is operated according to an operation state selected corresponding to the current state. Exemplarily, the direction of the wind may use the direction of the arrow, the air volume may use the thickness of the arrow, the wind speed may be represented by the length of the arrow, and the pollution degree may be represented by the color of the arrow.

In FIG. 7, it can be seen that the clean air returns through the concave indoor space according to the boundary line information 154. Display units 154 and 157 may be provided in front of the display 152 to indicate the state of charge of each of the tower air aids 2 and 3.

FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the display, and a cooperative operation is described with reference to FIG. 8.

The cooperative operation can be understood by explaining the discharge direction of the clean air from the air cleaning system according to the embodiment. It can be seen that the first tower air cleaner 2 blows clean air to the left, and the second tower air cleaner 3 blows clean air forward.

According to the blowing direction, it is possible to obtain the advantage of blowing clean air not only in the front space where the air cleaning system is located, but also in the wide space on the left side of the air cleaning system. The first tower air purifier 2 may also increase the air volume and blow clean air further.

By the cooperative operation selected according to the current state, the indoor space in which the air cleaning system is placed can be identified by itself, and the best air cleaning effect can be achieved by using at least two air aids. Of course, the user does not need to know the structure of the indoor space. Here, it can be seen through the above embodiment that the cooperative operation is clearly distinguished from a complex operation in which a plurality of air aids are simply operated together.

9 is a view showing a display of the tower air aid.

Referring to FIG. 9, in a current state, the first display mode is implemented. The display 28 variously displays the operating status of the tower air aid. As one of the buttons of the display, the display unit'space learning' is a button for instructing to grasp map information on the indoor space where the tower air aid is currently placed.

When the spatial learning is performed, map information may be obtained by grasping an indoor space using the wireless transmission/reception unit 281, and clean air may be blown using the acquired map information.

The driving by the spatial learning may be performed not only by the cooperative operation, but also by a single operation. For example, when referring to the boundary line information 154, if the position where the tower air aid is placed alone is a corner portion, clean air may be blown while rotating only 90 degrees inside the corner portion.

In the current state, the display 28 displays only its own driving state as the first display mode. If the boundary information 154 or the flow information 155 is displayed in any one area of the display 28 together with the current state, the display mode is the first display mode and the second display mode. It can be referred to as the third display mode.

10 is a system block diagram of an air cleaning system according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 10, a detailed configuration of a third air aid, a first air aid 480 connected to the communication unit 450 of the third air aid, a second air aid connected to the third air aid or the first air aid A ball aid 470 is shown. The third air aid may be exemplified by the cradle air aid (1), and the first and second air aids may be exemplified by the first and second tower air aids (2) (3), respectively.

The third air hearing device is provided with a surrounding space determining unit 410 to obtain map information of an indoor space. The peripheral space determination unit 410 may include a wireless transmission/reception unit 411 and a mapping unit 412. The wireless transceiver 411 may exemplify a wireless transceiver 111 installed in the cradle air aid. The mapping unit 412 may be a block including a mapping processor that provides map information of an indoor space by using a transmission/reception signal from the wireless transmission/reception unit 411.

A driving mode for a current indoor space may be determined using map information provided from the mapping unit 412. The space operation determination unit 420 determines the overall direction of the public hearing operation for the current indoor space using the map information. For example, if the current air aid is placed at a 90 degree corner of the indoor space, the space operation determination unit 420 may allow the clean wind of the air aid to be discharged only with a width of 90 degrees.

The control unit 400 may determine operating conditions of the first, second, and third air aids using various pieces of information previously stored in the memory 460. For this, the control unit 400 is provided with first, second, and third air aid control modules 401, 402, and 403. The first, second, and third air aid control modules 401, 402, and 403 may determine the operating conditions of the air aid by checking the location and installation conditions of the air aid associated with each control module.

The boundary line information 154 and the magnetic location information 153 shown in FIG. 8 will be described as an example.

The space operation determining unit 420 may determine that it is preferable that clean air is provided to the front and to the right at the current position. At this time, the standard of the direction may be based on the front of the cradle air aid 1 itself.

In this case, three air purifiers are modularized in the air cleaning system, and the operating conditions for each air aid for cooperative operation of each air aid can be determined by the respective controllers 401, 402, and 403.

As an example, the cradle air aid (1) does not perform air cleaning operation, and the first tower air aid (2) blows only completely to the right side, and the second tower air air cleaning device The machine 3 can be made to blow only forward. In this case, the reason that the cradle air purifier is not operated may be because there is no user in the immediate front, so that air cleaning on the floor surface is not required.

This will be described with reference to FIG. 10 again.

When the operating conditions of the air aid are determined, the control unit of the third air aid may transmit a signal to the air hearing unit 430 to drive the third air aid itself. The third air aid may transmit a control signal to the first air aid and the second air aid through the communication unit 450.

A fan driving unit 432 and an additional driving unit 431 may be placed on the ball receiving unit 430. The additional driving unit 431 may include an operation determination of the air guide 26 and the like.

The control unit 400 outputs the driving state through the display unit 440 so that the user can check it. The mode of the display unit 440 may be previously selected from among the first, second, and third display modes.

This embodiment shows an example in which an instruction is performed using one air aid as the main (cradle air aid in the embodiment) and the other two air aids (tower air aid in the embodiment) follow the instruction.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and other embodiments may be further provided.

For example, if the cradle air aid 1 is not suitable for the wireless transceiver 111 to be installed, a radio transceiver 281 may be installed in the tower air aids 2 and 3. The information of the wireless transmission/reception unit may be transmitted to the cradle air aid 1 before or after being processed as mapping information.

For example, at least one of the space operation determination unit 420 and the control modules 401, 402, and 403 of each air aid may be provided to at least one of the tower air aids.

For example, the control modules 401, 402, and 403 are provided only to the air aid to which they belong, so that their control state may be determined and operated by themselves.

A method of controlling an air cleaning system according to an embodiment will be described.

11 is a diagram illustrating a control method of an air cleaning system according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 11, first, map information is obtained (S1). The map information corresponds to an indoor space and may be performed by the wireless transmission/reception unit and the mapping unit.

After that, the space operation is determined by using the map information and the resources of the air cleaning system (S2). The space operation is to determine the operating conditions that the air cleaning system must currently perform for the space specified by the map information.

For example, it has been described to blow air within a 90 degree range if it is placed in a corner. Furthermore, if the indoor space is square, air can be blown in the direction of 45 degrees from the corner to most preferably perform the air cleaning action for the entire space.

In this case, the combined operation may be determined.

The combined operation is a final operation result when at least two air purifiers provided to the air cleaning system are operated as a single unit. In other words, the determination of the combined operation may mean a consequential sum of air aid operations that can be obtained by operating the at least two air aids together for the space.

After that, the operation information for each module is provided (S3). In this case, the cooperative operation may be determined. In other words, in the case of FIG. 8, the first tower air cleaner blows clean air to the left, and the second tower air cleaner blows clean air forward.

In the case of FIG. 8, unlike the case in which each tower air purifier is operated in the cooperative operation, when only the combined operation is performed, it may be determined that it is best to blow air together with all the tower air purifiers obliquely to the right.

After that, each module may respond to and perform a public hearing action (S4).

In the case of an embodiment, the module may include the cradle air aid, the first tower air aid, and the second tower air aid.

12 and 13 are views for explaining energy supply to the tower air aid, FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of a central portion of a seating groove, and FIG. 13 is a partial rear view of the tower air aid.

In FIG. 12, a wireless charging module 131 provided in the seating grooves 13 and 14 while being accommodated in the lower wall 12, and a first provided on the lower surface of the tower air aids 2 and 3 2 wireless charging module 222 is shown.

The battery inside the tower air aids 2 and 3 may be charged by the coupling action of the wireless charging modules 131 and 222.
