1 is a view showing a wall-shaped frame of the smart wall 100 of the present invention. The present invention relates to a smart wall 100 in which electronic devices used at home, such as media devices and home appliances, are integrated on a wall so that they are not exposed to the exterior. Various electronic devices such as display unit, interphone, speaker, air purifier, humidifier, lighting, digital clock, router, and set-top box are mounted on the wall to provide a space total solution that minimizes exposure of electronic devices in the space.

As the thickness of the display device 161 has recently become thinner, the thickness of the smart wall 100 of the present invention can be formed to be as thin as 15 to 20 cm, so that the indoor space can be prevented from narrowing during installation. Rather, storage furniture and home appliances 160 may be embedded in the smart wall 100 to provide a neat appearance. If necessary, a part of the wall may be selectively pulled out so that the necessary home appliance may protrude, and the space where the home appliance is not buried may be utilized as a mounting space 114 such as a drawer.

A TV can be made thinner in recent years, and thus a thin display unit can be implemented. In reality, the TV itself serves as a cover for the frame and can be combined with the frame to form a front appearance. An opening 153 may be formed in the art wall 151 to expose the display portion of the display device 161, and a cover for opening and closing the opening 153 may be further provided.

Since the display unit using OLED is bent, it is exposed to the outside only when in use, and when not in use, it can be rolled up and stored inside the wall, thus providing a clean screen in appearance.

As for the projector, a short throw projector was recently developed, and a large screen can be realized by mounting the projector on a wall, drawing it out in a drawer format, and outputting it to the screen. In this case, when not in use, the display unit is not visible on the outside of the smart wall 100 and thus a cleaner appearance can be provided.

2 is an exploded view of the smart wall 100 of the present invention, the interior of the front art wall 150 may be a structure of a frame in which a plurality of shape steels 115 are arranged in a grid. The frame structure 110 is a rigid member and may be supported so as not to collapse even when an impact is applied to the wall. A panel may be attached to the front of the frame structure 110 to hide the electronic product 160 mounted on the frame structure 110 and be configured to appear as a wall. The front wall covered with such a panel is referred to as an art wall 150.

The art wall 150 can be changed differently according to a consumer's taste. You can easily change it after installation to change the atmosphere of your home.

The section steel 115 arranged in a grid form may partition the mounting space 114 and place the electronic product 160 in each mounting space 114. Each of the mounting spaces 114 may have the same size or multiple sizes, so that the mounted electronic product 160 may be modularized and disposed at any position in the frame structure 110.

In addition to the display device 161 described above, a sound device 152 such as a speaker 162 may be mounted in the mounting space 114, and the sound device 152 may be configured in a plurality according to the number of channels. The art wall 152 covering the sound device may be configured in a mesh shape so that sound can be output, or an opening that is exposed to the outside may be minimized by selectively opening and closing an opening through which sound is output. For waterproofing, the opening may be prevented from entering water by using a waterproof mesh or the like.

Seasonal household appliances such as a dehumidifier 163, a humidifier 165, an air conditioner, and a stove may be provided. Such seasonal home appliances are generally exposed to the outside when they are not in use, and dust accumulates and looks bad, so it is common to put a cover on it or put it in a warehouse. However, if it is embedded and installed in the smart wall 100 as in the present invention, it can be used when necessary, and when not used, it can be covered with the art wall 150 so that it is not exposed to the outside, and a separate mounting space 114 is provided. no need.

The dehumidifier 163 or the humidifier 165 may implement a drawer-type space for collecting/storing water to remove collected water or fill water. An opening 154 through which air passes in order to discharge water or collect moisture around it is required. The air purifier can be installed at the lower part of the smart wall 100 so that the user can easily open the filter so that the filter can be replaced periodically.

Even if the opening 154 is not necessarily formed in the art wall 150, the gap between the art wall 150 and the frame structure 110 can be used.

In addition, if a set-top box or a WIFI router is installed, a home network system can be implemented. Through the WIFI router, not only the functional units mounted on the smart wall 100 but also other electronic devices such as a computer or portable terminal located outside the smart wall 100 can be connected and controlled by interworking with each other.

An LED or a small display panel can be arranged on the top to provide simple information such as weather and time event information to the user, or can be used as lighting. By arranging lighting on the smart wall 100 itself, it is possible to add an interior effect.

A router is an intermediate device that, when using different communication methods or signals, organizes and guides the router. In addition, the functional unit mounted on the smart wall 100 may not necessarily be connected by wire, but may be connected and controlled through a WIFI router.

In addition, since the router plays a role of connecting the external network and the internal network at the same time, the user controls the router connected to the external network from the outside to control not only the functional units mounted on the smart wall 100 but also home appliances and media devices connected to the internal network. can do

In addition, electronic devices of the smart wall 100 may be controlled in conjunction with a mobile device. That is, when a mobile device is mounted on the smart wall 100, media images and music in the mobile device are output, or when a video call is received through the mobile device, the other party's image can be provided through the display of the smart wall 100. have.

In addition, a wall pad connected to a camera or method system at the entrance may be provided in the mounting space 114 of the smart wall 100. Wall pads that have been buried in the existing bearing wall are difficult to repair and replace, and have difficulties such as change of location in case of failure. However, if the wall pad is configured in a unit form and provided in the smart wall 100, there is an advantage of easy maintenance.

The smart wall 100 can be installed not only in the living room but also in the room. By configuring the walls between the rooms as the smart wall 100, the smart wall 100 may be used in both directions in neighboring rooms. For example, if one air conditioner or air purifier is passed in both directions, it can be used in both spaces. Instead of the TV and speaker 162 used in the living room, a monitor and a PC may be mounted and used according to the purpose of the room. Alternatively, other functional units such as an electronic blackboard may be mounted and used according to the child's age.

When installed in an office, the smart wall 100 equipped with functional units such as an electronic blackboard, air purifier, video conference system, and PC can be used. Since the electronic product 160 mounted on the smart wall 100 is covered by the art wall 150, a separate exterior case is not required.

If the smart wall 100 is manufactured according to the user's installation location at the factory and then installed, the same module can be manufactured and supplied on a large scale when constructing a hotel/resort or apartment, reducing the defect rate and producing it at low cost.

However, the assembled smart wall 100 is difficult to transport, and when the building is completed, it is difficult to carry it into the building. Therefore, when the smart wall 100 is installed when moving or interior in an existing building, the smart wall 100 can be implemented by installing a frame in the building and inserting a unit module. In this case, for ease of installation and standardization, the frame structure 110 may be implemented using a plurality of module frames.

3 shows a method of combining frame modules 111, 112, and 113 of the smart wall 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In order to mount each component, the frame modules 111, 112, and 113 in the form of a bookshelf including the mounting space 114 may be used. Frame modules 111, 112, and 113 may be manufactured by arranging a plurality of beam-shaped members in a grid to partition the mounting space 114.

The frame modules 111, 112, 113 are a first frame module 111 in which the mounting spaces 114 are arranged side by side in a horizontal direction, and a second frame module for mounting a large product 160 such as a display device 161 It may include a third frame module 113 in which 112 and the mounting space 114 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction.

The second frame module 112 includes a large space so that all of the display devices 161 can be mounted regardless of the inch. If necessary, as shown in FIG. 4, the display device 161 may be fixed by providing a beam that partitions the mounting space 114 and the rigidity of the frame structure 110 may be improved.

The first frame module 111 may be stacked and disposed vertically with the second frame module 112. The length of the first frame module 111 in the horizontal direction may be the same as the length of the second frame module 112 in the horizontal direction, so that the grid may not be displaced when stacked in the vertical direction.

The first frame module 111 may be disposed on the upper side and the lower side of the second frame module 112, respectively, and according to the size of the first frame module 111 and the second frame module 112 or the size of the installation space. Accordingly, the number of stacked first frame modules 111 in the vertical direction may be increased or decreased.

The third frame module 113 in which the mounting spaces 114 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction may have the same height as the first frame module 111 and the second frame module 112 stacked in the vertical direction. The third frame module 113 may be located in the lateral direction of the first frame module 111 and the second frame module 112 as shown in FIG. 4. A plurality of frame modules 111, 112, 113 may be combined with fasteners to form a rectangular parallelepiped frame structure 110.

4 is a diagram showing a method of manufacturing the frame modules 111, 112, and 113 of the present invention, and a third frame module 113 in which the mounting space 114 is disposed in a vertical direction will be described as an example. Each of the frame modules 111, 112, and 113 may use a section steel 115 that is elongated in one direction. Shape steel is a structural member and collectively refers to a rod-shaped member having various cross-sectional shapes. It is possible to construct a column-shaped section steel having the same cross section in the longitudinal direction by rolling or bending the plate. Section steel has an advantage of being able to obtain rigidity of a certain size or more with lighter and less material since it has an empty space compared to a beam-shaped member having a circular or square cross section.

The present invention may use a C-beam 115 having a C-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 4. The C-beam 115 may be formed by vertically bending both ends of a metal plate in the width direction. If both ends are vertically bent only once, they have a C-shaped cross section, and if they are vertically bent twice, they can have a C-shaped cross-section. A power or signal line connected to the electronic product 160 may be disposed in the internal space, and an outlet module 140 to which power or data cables are connected may be disposed.

The outlet module 140 may include a power terminal for supplying power, a data terminal for transmitting and receiving data such as an Internet line or cable input, and a connector for connecting a functional unit inserted in the frame with another functional unit. The connector has terminals on both sides of the frame, and data can be exchanged with each other by inserting a data connection line of each electronic device into the terminal. The outlet module 140 may include a rail structure that moves along the frame modules 111, 112 and 113.

A vent hole 116 may be formed in the section steel 115 as shown in FIG. 4. The vent hole 116 may reduce the weight of the section steel 115 and discharge heat generated from the electronic product 160. In order to dissipate heat more actively, a fan can be used to discharge hot air to the outside. When the heat of the electronic product 160 is discharged indoors, a heating effect can be obtained in winter. However, in summer, a structure that discharges heat to the outside can be added by circulating heat inside by using a fan as a cause of increasing the indoor temperature or by adding to the wiring connected to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

Each of the frame modules 111, 112, and 113 may include an outer cavity forming a square around the outer circumference and an inner cavity for partitioning the mounting space 114 therebetween. The outer steel may include a vertical steel extending in a vertical direction and a horizontal steel extending in a horizontal direction. The first frame module 111 to the third frame module 113 may be assembled by arranging a horizontal steel between a pair of vertical steels. In order to fasten the vertical steel with the fixing member 120 fixed to the ceiling and the floor, it is necessary to arrange the upper and lower ends of the vertical steel to be exposed. Therefore, by positioning the vertical steel outside the horizontal steel, it is possible to insert and fasten the vertical brackets 122 and 123 of the fixing member 120 to the end of the vertical steel.

The inner steel located inside the outer steel divides the space surrounded by the outer steel to form the mounting space 114, and the inner steel may be assembled so that it cannot be moved by welding to the outer steel, and some inner steels can be assembled using bolts or hooks. They can be combined so that they can be removed as needed.

In this way, by using a method of fastening between the frame modules 111, 112, and 113 in the form of a semi-finished product 160, the number of assembly at the site can be minimized. The dimensions of the product 160 can be kept constant and installation time can be reduced. In addition, it can be modularized into a size that is easy to move, so it can be easily transported to the site.

5 shows examples of various frame structures 110 according to a combination of frame modules 111, 112, and 113 of the present invention. FIG. 5A is a frame structure 110 in which a pair of first frame modules 111a, one second frame module 112a, and a pair of third frame modules 113 of FIG. 3 are assembled. ). Since the first frame module 111a has four mounting spaces 114, it may be difficult to install in a narrow indoor space due to its wider width.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5B, a first frame module 111b having a short horizontal length including three mounting spaces 114 may be used. The second frame module 112b may have a length corresponding to the horizontal length of the first frame module 111b.

In addition, the third frame module 113 may be disposed on both sides of the first frame module 111 and the second frame module 112 vertically stacked. Since the floor height of a typical house is 220cm ~ 230cm, the height of the third frame module 113 may be configured to be a little less than 220cm. Although a five-stage vertical frame is shown in the drawing, a six-stage vertical frame may also be manufactured in case of a double layer or high floor height.

When installing in a narrower space, the third frame module 113 may be omitted and the frame structure 110 may be configured using only the first frame module 111a and the second frame module 112a, or a large display device ( If 161 is not mounted, the frame structure 110 may be implemented by arranging only the third frame in a line. Each frame module 111, 112, 113 may be fastened with bolts or may be fastened by welding.

6 is a view for explaining a method of installing the frame structure 110 of the smart wall 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The frame structure 110 formed by fastening the frame modules 111, 112, and 113 may be fixed to the ceiling and the floor for installation in an indoor space.

The fixing bracket 125 installed on the ceiling or floor is a member that is bent in an L-shape, and one side 125b extends in a vertical direction from the ceiling or floor and the other side 125a from the ceiling or floor. The first frame module 111 and the second frame module 112 may include a first vertical bracket 122 inserted into the inner space of the vertical cavity.

The first vertical bracket 122 may be formed to be longer than the vertical length of the first frame module 111 so as to fasten not only the first frame module 111 but also the second frame module 112. A second vertical bracket 123 disposed parallel to the first vertical bracket 122 and inserted into the third frame module 113 may be further included. Since the vertical steel of the third frame module 113 is one member, it does not need to be as long as the first vertical bracket 122.

The coupling bracket 121 coupled to the ends of the first vertical bracket 122 and the second vertical bracket 123 may form a T-shape together with the vertical brackets 122 and 123. The coupling bracket 121 is coupled to the vertical brackets 122 and 123, and is vertical from the seating portion 121b and the seating portion 121b that are seated on the upper surfaces of the first frame module 111 and the third frame module 113. It may include a fastening portion 121a extending in the direction and fastened with the fixing bracket 125. The coupling bracket 121 and the fixing bracket 125 may be fastened using a screw, and the fastener to which the screw is fastened may be formed to be long in the vertical direction so that it can be adjusted according to the ceiling height.

When the smart wall 100 is installed by attaching it to an existing wall, it may further include a fixing member 120 fastened to the existing wall.

Since the smart wall 100 has an audio device, such as the speaker 162, when it is used as a temporary wall, a space separated from the wall is generated. At this time, in order to block the sound of the two spaces, the smart wall 100 may be fixed by adding a soundproof structure so that sound does not leak to the ceiling, floor, and sidewalls in contact with the smart wall 100.

7 is a view for explaining the basket 130 of the smart wall 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The frame modules 111, 112, and 113 may be divided into a plurality of mounting spaces 114 using the inner section steel 115. As shown in FIG. 7, a space in which the electronic product 160 is mounted may be provided by inserting the basket 130 into the mounting space 114. The second frame module 112 has a relatively large mounting space 114 because the display device 161 is located, but the mounting space 114 of the first frame module 111 and the third frame module 113 is It can be formed in a standardized size. If the mounting space 114 of a standardized size is used, the basket 130 can also be standardized, and thus there is an advantage that there is no need to unnecessarily manufacture parts of various shapes.

If the size of the mounting spaces are all the same, it is convenient for standardization, but a larger space may be required depending on the electronic product 160 to be mounted. For example, since the sizes of the air conditioner and the air purifier are different, the size of the mounting space 114 may be formed to be an integer multiple of the basic size in consideration of this difference. For example, based on the first mounting space 1141 having a horizontal size of a and a vertical size of b, a second mounting space 1142 having an integer multiple of a horizontal size, or a third mounting space 1142 having an integer multiple of b vertical size It may include a mounting space (1143).

The size in the horizontal direction of the first mounting space 1141 corresponds to the size in the horizontal direction of the third frame module 113 and the size in the vertical direction corresponds to the size in the vertical direction of the first frame module 111. Here, the mounting space 114 means an internal space divided by the section steel 115, so the comparison between the size of the first frame module 111 and the size of the third frame module 113 is due to the thickness of the section steel 115 Is ignored.

Since the first frame module 111 has a short length in the vertical direction, it may include only the first mounting space 1141 and the second mounting space 1142, and the third frame module 113 has a short length in the horizontal direction. Therefore, only the first mounting space 1141 and the third mounting space 1143 may be included.

8 is a perspective view showing an example of an air purifier 164 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air purifier 164 may be disposed in one of the mounting spaces 114 of the frame structure 110, and the basket 130 may be omitted by forming the outer case in a size suitable for the size of the mounting space 114 .

The air purifier 164 needs an opening in order to suck in air to remove impurities and discharge the air again. An opening may be formed by forming a hole in the front, but if the opening is exposed to the front in the art wall of the smart wall, it may be an obstacle in terms of design. In addition, when air is leaked through an opening formed in the art wall, the air may be directly contacted to the user, which may cause discomfort or decrease the user's body temperature in winter.

Therefore, the air cleaner of the present invention opens and closes the front cover 155 forming the same plane as the art wall as shown in (b) of FIG. 8 to form openings 1642a and 1642d through the air cleaner in the lateral direction. can do. The front cover 155 may have the same design as the art wall, and the air purifier 164 may include a driving unit 200 for moving the front cover 155.

Since the front cover 155 moves and protrudes in the front direction, the air purifier 164 may be located under the smart wall 100. In this case, since the lower portion of the air purifier 164 faces the floor, the flow path may be designed so that air is introduced in the lateral direction of the air purifier 164 and the air is discharged to the upper side.

9 is a cross-sectional view A-A and B-B of FIG. 8(b), and FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view according to an example of an air purifier 164 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9A is a cross-sectional view A-A showing a path through which air is introduced, and FIG. 9B is a cross-sectional view B-B showing a path through which air is discharged.

The air purifier 164 of the present invention includes a fixed frame 1641 fixed to the frame structure of a smart wall and a moving frame 1642 moving relative to the fixed frame 1641. It may include a driving unit 200 for moving the moving frame 1642 in the first direction. The inner frame 1645 positioned inside the fixed frame 1641 includes a first opening connected to the inlet 1642a and a second opening connected to the outlet 1642d. A filter 1643 positioned at a first opening of the inner frame 1645 and a fan 1644 for forcing air to pass through the filter 1643 are disposed inside the inner frame 1645.

The filter 1643 may be disposed in a plurality of layers to filter out impurities of external air. The front cover 155 is coupled to the moving frame 1642 and can move in the front direction together with the moving frame 1642. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the front cover 155 and the moving frame 1642 are referred to as a moving part, and the fixed frame 1641, the inner frame 1645, the filter 1643 and the fan 1644 are referred to as a fixed part.

The inlet (1642a) and the outlet (1642d) are formed around the movable frame (1642) so that when the movable frame (1642) and the front cover (155) move, the space between the front cover 155 and the fixed frame (1641) is It can be exposed to the outside through. Since the inlet port 1642a and the outlet port 1642d of the present invention are located in a side or upper direction, a passage through which air may be moved can be provided without being clearly seen from the front direction. The mesh or rubber is located at the suction port 1642a and the discharge port 1642d, and can prevent large foreign substances or insects from entering the inside.

The moving frame 1642 includes a first flow path 1642b from the inlet 1642a to the filter 1643 and a second flow path 1642c for moving the air passing through the filter 1643 to the outlet 1642d. I can. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view CC of FIG. 10, showing the flow of air in which air introduced from the inlet 1642a located in the lateral direction moves toward the filter 1643 and moves to the outlet 1642d located in the upper side. have.

The moving frame 1642 may include a separating plate 1642f that divides between the suction port 1642a and the discharge port 1642d. The separating plate 1642f may form at least one part of the first flow path 1642b and the second flow path 1642c, and serves to shield the air introduced from the intake port 1642a from being directly discharged to the discharge port 1642d. Do it.

12 is a diagram showing a difference in performance according to the presence or absence of a rib 1647 of the air purifier 164 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The filter 1643 has a larger area than the inlet 1642a, and the life of the filter 1643 is prolonged only when air passes evenly throughout the filter 1643. When the flow of air is concentrated at a specific location of the filter 1643, contamination is partially concentrated, thereby reducing the amount of air that can be actually purified. The guide part guides the air flow so that air evenly passes through the filter 1643.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 12, since air is introduced from the side direction of the filter 1643 in the intake port 1642a of the present invention, there is a problem that air is concentrated on both left and right sides. In order to induce air flow to the central portion of the filter 1643, the guide portion of this embodiment is the inner side of the front cover 155 (a portion overlapped with the front cover 155 of the moving frame 1642) as shown in FIG. 12(b). In this case, a rib 1647 protruding from the inner side 1642e of the moving frame 1642 may be included.

As shown in (c) of FIG. 12, the rib 1647 may be formed radially toward one point in the center, and since the inlet 1642a is located in the left and right lateral directions, the rib 1647 extending in the horizontal direction is You can also use it. Like the rib 1647, a guide portion may be formed by forming an inclined surface on the inner surface itself of the moving frame 1642 instead of a plate-shaped member.

However, the height of the guide portion is limited by the filter 1643 because the guide portion should not come into contact with the filter 1643 when the moving frame 1642 and the front cover 155 are moved and closed. The guide portion may include a flexible material so that the height of the guide portion is variable.

13 is a view for explaining the seat portion 1646 of the air purifier 164 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The guide portion using the flexible seat portion 1646 may provide a guide portion that protrudes more than the guide portion of the rib 1647 without overlapping with the filter 1643. The circumference of the seat portion 1646 may be fixed to the moving portion and the central portion may be fixed to the center of the filter 1643. The seat portion 1646 may have a circular shape as shown in FIG. 13A and may have a rectangular shape corresponding to the shape of the moving frame 1642. As shown in (a) of FIG. 13, a point fixed to the filter 1643 of the seat portion 1646 may be one point at the center, or a plurality of points may be fixed to the filter 1643. Since the suction ports 1642a are located on the left and right, a plurality of fixing points may be arranged in the vertical direction.

The sheet part 1646 is made of a flexible fabric or film material, and the inclined surface is low when the front cover 155 is closed as shown in (b) of FIG. 13, but when the front cover 155 is opened as shown in (c) of FIG. The slope can be higher. Even if the space between the movable frame 1642 and the filter 1643 is reduced, an inclined surface having a sufficient height can be secured, and thus air flow toward the center of the filter 1643 can be promoted.

Since the air purifier 164 of the present invention is mounted in the hexahedral mounting space 130 of the smart wall 100, it has a square shape and the front cover 155 can be formed in a square shape having four corners. When the moving distances of the four corners of the front cover 155 and the moving frame 1642 are uniform, the moving part can stably move in the front-rear direction.

As shown in FIG. 10, the driving unit 200 of the present embodiment includes two motors 211 and guides the movement of the two corners using a long rotation shaft 214 that transmits the rotational force of the motor 211. Since the number of motors 211 can be reduced by using the rotation shaft 214 and the two edges move simultaneously, there is an advantage in that the moving part does not become distorted due to an error in the number of rotations of the motor 211.

14 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the driving unit 200 of FIG. 10, and as shown in FIG. 14(a), the driving unit 200 of the present embodiment controls the rotational force of the motor 211 and the motor 211 It may include a power transmission unit that receives the transmission and converts it into linear motion and transmits it to the moving frame 1642.

The power transmission unit may include a pinion gear 213 that rotates according to the rotation of the motor 211 and a rack gear 217b that linearly moves when the pinion gear 213 rotates. As shown in FIG. 14, a plurality of gears may be used between the pinion gear 213 and the motor 211 to secure the mounting space of the motor 211 or to adjust the number of rotations. A pinion gear 213 having a rotation shaft 214 facing a different direction from the rotation shaft 214 of the motor 211 may be implemented, and the rotation speed of the pinion gear 213 may also be configured differently from the motor 211. The rack gear 217b is coupled to the moving part, and the pinion gear 213 and the motor 211 may be located on the fixed frame 1641. When the motor 211 rotates, the moving part is Move.

The power transmission unit may include a guide slot 218a and a guide protrusion 217a so that the rack gear 217b moves in a linear direction when the pinion gear 213 is rotated. Referring to FIG. 14, the guide slot 218a is shown to be located in the fixing frame 1641 and the guide protrusion 217a is located in the moving part, but the guide protrusion 217a is opposite to the guide slot 218a in the fixed part. May be located in the department.

Although the rotation shaft 214 of the present embodiment extends in the horizontal direction, the movement of the corners disposed in the vertical direction may be synchronized by using the rotation shaft 214 extending in the vertical direction. The pinion gear 213 and the rack gear 217b are positioned at the end of the rotation shaft 214, and by transmitting the rotation of the motor 211, the moving part can be moved forward and backward. In order to transmit power to the four corners, the present embodiment may include two motors 211 as shown in FIG. 10.

15 is an exploded perspective view showing an air purifier 164 according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the rotation shaft 214 may be omitted and the driving unit 200 positioned between a pair of corners may be used. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the driving unit 200 of FIG. 15, and the moving unit may stably move through a pair of motors 211, a pair of pinion gears 213, and a rack gear 217b. As in the above-described embodiment, a guide slot 218a and a guide protrusion 217a may be included. However, since the rotation shaft 214 and the pair of pinion gear 213 and the rack gear 217b can be omitted than in the above-described embodiment, member cost can be reduced.

In this way, when a plurality of motors 211 are provided, the front cover 155 may move asymmetrically when an error in rotational speed occurs between the motors 211. The air purifier 164 of the present invention includes a plurality of distance sensors 1648 for sensing the distance between the fixed frame 1641 and the moving frame 1642 in order to solve the above problem, and the distance sensor 1648 detects If one distance is different, it may include a control unit that controls the motor 211 so that the moving unit can move in parallel.

When a finger or an object is detected between the front cover 155 and the fixed frame 1641, the distance sensor 1648 detects this and stops driving the motor 211 to prevent the drive unit 200 of the air purifier 164 from failing. It can be operated while preventing and considering the safety of the user. The accuracy of the sensor 1648 for detecting an object between the front cover 155 and the fixed frame 1641 is sufficient if it is lower than that of the distance sensor 1648 for detecting the symmetrical drive of the moving frame 1642. Accordingly, an inexpensive sensor 1648 having a low sensitivity is further disposed in a portion where the distance sensor 1648 is not located, so that an object inserted between the front cover 155 and the fixed frame 1641 can be detected.

17 is an exploded perspective view showing an air purifier 164 according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the driving unit 200 of FIG. 17. In this embodiment, as the driving unit 200 using one motor 231, the movement of the moving unit may be induced using the link 235. The link 235 may include a first link 235 directly connected to the motor 231 and a second link 236 arranged symmetrically with the first link 235 to assist the movement of the moving unit.

One end of the first link 235 may be coupled to the fixing frame 1641 so as to rotate according to the rotation of the motor 231. The other side of the first link 235 may be coupled to the moving frame 1642 to move the moving frame 1642 in the front direction when the motor 231 rotates. As shown in FIG. 18, the first link 235 may naturally convert a rotational motion on one side to a linear motion on the other side by using a joint portion. A portion coupled to the other side of the moving frame 1642 may include a guide protrusion 217a to move along the guide slot 218a positioned in the fixed frame 1642.

The second link 236 may include a second tooth 236b rotating in engagement with the first tooth 235b formed at the other end of the first link 235 so as to move symmetrically with the first link 236. . The second link 236 may move in accordance with the linear motion and rotational motion of the other end of the first link 235 and may move symmetrically with the first link 235.

As described above, in the air purifier according to the present invention, the front cover can be opened only when necessary, so that when not in use, the air purifier can be maintained in an inconspicuous state.

It is possible to extend the life of the filter by providing a guide portion that guides the flow of air to utilize the entire area of the filter. In addition, the front cover can be opened stably to solve the problem of injuries to the user and to minimize the breakdown of the air purifier.

In the smart wall according to another aspect of the present invention, multimedia devices such as TV and audio are mounted on the wall and installed on the wall at the same height on the wall to provide a clean appearance. It is modularized so that any home appliance can be easily mounted, and if repair is required, only the module can be easily removed, so installation and maintenance are simple, and when additional multimedia devices or home appliances are added, it can be easily expanded by adding a unit.

1 is a view showing a wall-shaped frame of the smart wall 100 of the present invention. The present invention relates to a smart wall 100 in which electronic devices used at home, such as media devices and home appliances, are integrated on a wall so that they are not exposed to the exterior. Various electronic devices such as display unit, interphone, speaker, air purifier, humidifier, lighting, digital clock, router, and set-top box are mounted on the wall to provide a space total solution that minimizes exposure of electronic devices in the space.
As the thickness of the display device 161 has recently become thinner, the thickness of the smart wall 100 of the present invention can be formed to be as thin as 15 to 20 cm, so that the indoor space can be prevented from narrowing during installation. Rather, storage furniture and home appliances 160 may be embedded in the smart wall 100 to provide a neat appearance. If necessary, a part of the wall may be selectively pulled out so that the necessary home appliance may protrude, and the space where the home appliance is not buried may be utilized as a mounting space 114 such as a drawer.
A TV can be made thinner in recent years, and thus a thin display unit can be implemented. In reality, the TV itself serves as a cover for the frame and can be combined with the frame to form a front appearance. An opening 153 may be formed in the art wall 151 to expose the display portion of the display device 161, and a cover for opening and closing the opening 153 may be further provided.
Since the display unit using OLED is bent, it is exposed to the outside only when in use, and when not in use, it can be rolled up and stored inside the wall, thus providing a clean screen in appearance.
As for the projector, a short throw projector was recently developed, and a large screen can be realized by mounting the projector on a wall, drawing it out in the form of a drawer, and outputting it to the screen. In this case, when not in use, the display unit is not visible on the outside of the smart wall 100 and thus a cleaner appearance can be provided.
2 is an exploded view of the smart wall 100 of the present invention, the interior of the front art wall 150 may be a structure of a frame in which a plurality of shape steels 115 are arranged in a grid. The frame structure 110 is a rigid member and may be supported so as not to collapse even when an impact is applied to the wall. By attaching a panel to the front of the frame structure 110, the electronic product 160 mounted on the frame structure 110 may be hidden and configured to appear as a wall. The front wall covered with such a panel is referred to as an art wall 150.
The art wall 150 can be changed differently according to a consumer's taste. You can easily change it after installation to change the atmosphere of your home.
The section steel 115 arranged in a grid form may partition the mounting space 114 and place the electronic product 160 in each mounting space 114. Each of the mounting spaces 114 may have the same size or multiple sizes, so that the mounted electronic product 160 may be modularized and disposed at any position in the frame structure 110.
In addition to the display device 161 described above, a sound device 152 such as a speaker 162 may be mounted in the mounting space 114, and the sound device 152 may be configured in a plurality according to the number of channels. The art wall 152 covering the sound device may be configured in a mesh shape so that sound can be output, or an opening that is exposed to the outside may be minimized by selectively opening and closing an opening through which sound is output. For waterproofing, the opening may be prevented from entering water by using a waterproof mesh or the like.
Seasonal household appliances such as a dehumidifier 163, a humidifier 165, an air conditioner, and a stove may be provided. Such seasonal home appliances are generally exposed to the outside when they are not in use, and dust accumulates and looks bad, so it is common to put a cover on it or put it in a warehouse. However, if it is embedded and installed in the smart wall 100 as in the present invention, it can be used when necessary, and when not used, it can be covered with the art wall 150 so that it is not exposed to the outside, and a separate mounting space 114 is provided. no need.
The dehumidifier 163 or the humidifier 165 may implement a drawer-type space for collecting/storing water to remove collected water or fill water. An opening 154 through which air passes in order to discharge water or collect moisture around it is required. The air purifier can be installed at the lower part of the smart wall 100 so that the user can easily open the filter so that the filter can be replaced periodically.
Even if the opening 154 is not necessarily formed in the art wall 150, the gap between the art wall 150 and the frame structure 110 can be used.
In addition, if a set-top box or a WIFI router is installed, a home network system can be implemented. Through the WIFI router, not only the functional units mounted on the smart wall 100 but also other electronic devices such as a computer or portable terminal located outside the smart wall 100 can be connected and controlled by interworking with each other.
An LED or a small display panel can be arranged on the top to provide simple information such as weather and time event information to the user, or can be used as lighting. By arranging lighting on the smart wall 100 itself, it is possible to add an interior effect.
A router is an intermediate device that, when using different communication methods or signals, organizes and guides the router. In addition, the functional unit mounted on the smart wall 100 may not necessarily be connected by wire, but may be connected and controlled through a WIFI router.
In addition, since the router plays a role of connecting the external network and the internal network at the same time, the user controls the router connected to the external network from the outside to control not only the functional units mounted on the smart wall 100, but also home appliances and media devices connected to the internal network. can do
In addition, electronic devices of the smart wall 100 may be controlled in conjunction with a mobile device. That is, when a mobile device is mounted on the smart wall 100, media images and music in the mobile device are output, or when a video call is received through the mobile device, the other party's image can be provided through the display of the smart wall 100. have.
In addition, a wall pad connected to a camera or method system at the entrance may be provided in the mounting space 114 of the smart wall 100. Wall pads that have been buried in the existing bearing wall are difficult to repair and replace, and have difficulties such as change of location in case of failure. However, if the wall pad is configured in a unit form and provided in the smart wall 100, there is an advantage of easy maintenance.
The smart wall 100 can be installed not only in the living room but also in the room. By configuring the walls between the rooms as the smart wall 100, the smart wall 100 may be used in both directions in neighboring rooms. For example, if one air conditioner or air purifier is passed in both directions, it can be used in both spaces. Instead of the TV and speaker 162 used in the living room, a monitor and a PC may be mounted and used according to the purpose of the room. Alternatively, other functional units such as an electronic blackboard may be mounted and used according to the child's age.
When installed in an office, the smart wall 100 equipped with functional units such as an electronic blackboard, air purifier, video conference system, and PC can be used. Since the electronic product 160 mounted on the smart wall 100 is covered by the art wall 150, a separate exterior case is not required.
If the smart wall 100 is manufactured according to the user's installation location at the factory and then installed, the same module can be manufactured and supplied on a large scale when constructing a hotel/resort or apartment, reducing the defect rate and producing it at low cost.
However, the assembled smart wall 100 is difficult to transport, and when the building is completed, it is difficult to carry it into the building. Therefore, when the smart wall 100 is installed when moving or interior in an existing building, the smart wall 100 can be implemented by installing a frame in the building and inserting a unit module. In this case, for ease of installation and standardization, the frame structure 110 may be implemented using a plurality of module frames.
3 shows a method of combining frame modules 111, 112, and 113 of the smart wall 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In order to mount each component, the frame modules 111, 112, and 113 in the form of a bookshelf including the mounting space 114 may be used. Frame modules 111, 112, and 113 may be manufactured by arranging a plurality of beam-shaped members in a grid to partition the mounting space 114.
The frame modules 111, 112, 113 are a first frame module 111 in which the mounting spaces 114 are arranged side by side in a horizontal direction, and a second frame module for mounting a large product 160 such as a display device 161 It may include a third frame module 113 in which 112 and the mounting space 114 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction.
The second frame module 112 includes a large space so that all of the display devices 161 can be mounted regardless of the inch. If necessary, as shown in FIG. 4, the display device 161 may be fixed by providing a beam that partitions the mounting space 114 and the rigidity of the frame structure 110 may be improved.
The first frame module 111 may be stacked and disposed vertically with the second frame module 112. The length of the first frame module 111 in the horizontal direction may be the same as the length of the second frame module 112 in the horizontal direction, so that the grid may not be displaced when stacked in the vertical direction.
The first frame module 111 may be disposed on the upper side and the lower side of the second frame module 112, respectively, and according to the size of the first frame module 111 and the second frame module 112 or the size of the installation space. Accordingly, the number of stacked first frame modules 111 in the vertical direction may be increased or decreased.
The third frame module 113 in which the mounting spaces 114 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction may have the same height as the first frame module 111 and the second frame module 112 stacked in the vertical direction. The third frame module 113 may be located in the lateral direction of the first frame module 111 and the second frame module 112 as shown in FIG. 4. A plurality of frame modules 111, 112, 113 may be combined with fasteners to form a rectangular parallelepiped frame structure 110.
4 is a diagram showing a method of manufacturing the frame modules 111, 112, and 113 of the present invention, and a third frame module 113 in which the mounting space 114 is disposed in a vertical direction will be described as an example. Each of the frame modules 111, 112, and 113 may use a section steel 115 that is elongated in one direction. Shape steel is a structural member and collectively refers to a rod-shaped member having various cross-sectional shapes. It is possible to construct a column-shaped section steel having the same cross section in the longitudinal direction by rolling or bending the plate. Section steel has an advantage of being able to obtain rigidity of a certain size or more with lighter and less material since it has an empty space compared to a beam-shaped member having a circular or square cross section.
The present invention may use a C-beam 115 having a C-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 4. The C-beam 115 may be formed by vertically bending both ends of a metal plate in the width direction. If both ends are vertically bent only once, they have a C-shaped cross section, and if they are vertically bent twice, they can have a C-shaped cross-section. A power or signal line connected to the electronic product 160 may be disposed in the internal space, and an outlet module 140 to which power or data cables are connected may be disposed.
The outlet module 140 may include a power terminal for supplying power, a data terminal for transmitting and receiving data such as an Internet line or cable input, and a connector for connecting a functional unit inserted in the frame with another functional unit. The connector has terminals on both sides of the frame, and data can be exchanged with each other by inserting a data connection line of each electronic device into the terminal. The outlet module 140 may include a rail structure that moves along the frame modules 111, 112 and 113.
A vent hole 116 may be formed in the section steel 115 as shown in FIG. 4. The vent hole 116 may reduce the weight of the section steel 115 and discharge heat generated from the electronic product 160. In order to dissipate heat more actively, a fan can be used to discharge hot air to the outside. When the heat of the electronic product 160 is discharged indoors, a heating effect can be obtained in winter. However, in summer, a structure that discharges heat to the outside can be added by circulating heat inside by using a fan as a cause of increasing the indoor temperature or by adding to the wiring connected to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.
Each of the frame modules 111, 112, and 113 may include an outer cavity forming a square around the outer circumference and an inner cavity for partitioning the mounting space 114 therebetween. The outer steel may include a vertical steel extending in a vertical direction and a horizontal steel extending in a horizontal direction. The first frame module 111 to the third frame module 113 may be assembled by arranging a horizontal steel between a pair of vertical steels. In order to fasten the vertical steel with the fixing member 120 fixed to the ceiling and the floor, it is necessary to arrange the upper and lower ends of the vertical steel to be exposed. Therefore, by positioning the vertical steel outside the horizontal steel, it is possible to insert and fasten the vertical brackets 122 and 123 of the fixing member 120 to the end of the vertical steel.
The inner steel located inside the outer steel divides the space surrounded by the outer steel to form the mounting space 114, and the inner steel may be assembled so that it cannot be moved by welding to the outer steel, and some inner steels can be assembled using bolts or hooks. They can be combined so that they can be removed as needed.
In this way, by using a method of fastening between the frame modules 111, 112, and 113 in the form of a semi-finished product 160, the number of assembly at the site can be minimized. The dimensions of the product 160 can be kept constant and installation time can be reduced. In addition, it can be modularized into a size that is easy to move, so it can be easily transferred to the site.
5 shows examples of various frame structures 110 according to a combination of frame modules 111, 112, and 113 of the present invention. FIG. 5A is a frame structure 110 in which a pair of first frame modules 111a, one second frame module 112a, and a pair of third frame modules 113 of FIG. 3 are assembled. ). Since the first frame module 111a has four mounting spaces 114, it may be difficult to install in a narrow indoor space due to its wider width.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5B, a first frame module 111b having a short horizontal length including three mounting spaces 114 may be used. The second frame module 112b may have a length corresponding to the horizontal length of the first frame module 111b.
In addition, the third frame module 113 may be disposed on both sides of the first frame module 111 and the second frame module 112 vertically stacked. Since the floor height of a typical house is 220cm ~ 230cm, the height of the third frame module 113 may be configured to be a little less than 220cm. Although a five-stage vertical frame is shown in the drawing, a six-stage vertical frame may also be manufactured in case of a double layer or high floor height.
When installing in a narrower space, the third frame module 113 may be omitted and the frame structure 110 may be configured using only the first frame module 111a and the second frame module 112a, or a large display device ( If 161 is not mounted, the frame structure 110 may be implemented by arranging only the third frame in a line. Each frame module 111, 112, 113 may be fastened with bolts or may be fastened by welding.
6 is a view for explaining a method of installing the frame structure 110 of the smart wall 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The frame structure 110 formed by fastening the frame modules 111, 112, and 113 may be fixed to the ceiling and the floor for installation in an indoor space.
The fixing bracket 125 installed on the ceiling or floor is a member that is bent in an L-shape, and one side 125b extends in a vertical direction from the ceiling or floor and the other side 125a from the ceiling or floor. The first frame module 111 and the second frame module 112 may include a first vertical bracket 122 inserted into the inner space of the vertical cavity.
The first vertical bracket 122 may be formed to be longer than the vertical length of the first frame module 111 so as to fasten not only the first frame module 111 but also the second frame module 112. A second vertical bracket 123 disposed parallel to the first vertical bracket 122 and inserted into the third frame module 113 may be further included. Since the vertical steel of the third frame module 113 is one member, it does not need to be as long as the first vertical bracket 122.
The coupling bracket 121 coupled to the ends of the first vertical bracket 122 and the second vertical bracket 123 may form a T-shape together with the vertical brackets 122 and 123. The coupling bracket 121 is coupled to the vertical brackets 122 and 123, and is vertical from the seating portion 121b and the seating portion 121b that are seated on the upper surfaces of the first frame module 111 and the third frame module 113. It may include a fastening portion 121a extending in the direction and fastened with the fixing bracket 125. The coupling bracket 121 and the fixing bracket 125 may be fastened using a screw, and the fastener to which the screw is fastened may be formed to be long in the vertical direction so that it can be adjusted according to the ceiling height.
When the smart wall 100 is installed by attaching it to an existing wall, it may further include a fixing member 120 fastened to the existing wall.
Since the smart wall 100 has an audio device, such as the speaker 162, when it is used as a temporary wall, a space separated from the wall is generated. At this time, in order to block the sound of the two spaces, the smart wall 100 may be fixed by adding a soundproof structure so that sound does not leak to the ceiling, floor, and sidewalls in contact with the smart wall 100.
7 is a view for explaining the basket 130 of the smart wall 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The frame modules 111, 112, and 113 may be divided into a plurality of mounting spaces 114 using the inner section steel 115. As shown in FIG. 7, a space in which the electronic product 160 is mounted may be provided by inserting the basket 130 into the mounting space 114. The second frame module 112 has a relatively large mounting space 114 because the display device 161 is located, but the mounting space 114 of the first frame module 111 and the third frame module 113 is It can be formed in a standardized size. If the mounting space 114 of a standardized size is used, the basket 130 can also be standardized, and thus there is an advantage that there is no need to unnecessarily manufacture parts of various shapes.
If the size of the mounting spaces are all the same, it is convenient for standardization, but a larger space may be required depending on the electronic product 160 to be mounted. For example, since the sizes of the air conditioner and the air purifier are different, the size of the mounting space 114 may be formed to be an integer multiple of the basic size in consideration of this difference. For example, based on the first mounting space 1141 having a horizontal size of a and a vertical size of b, a second mounting space 1142 having an integer multiple of a horizontal size, or a third mounting space 1142 having an integer multiple of b vertical size It may include a mounting space (1143).
The size in the horizontal direction of the first mounting space 1141 corresponds to the size in the horizontal direction of the third frame module 113 and the size in the vertical direction corresponds to the size in the vertical direction of the first frame module 111. Here, the mounting space 114 means an internal space divided by the section steel 115, so the comparison between the size of the first frame module 111 and the size of the third frame module 113 is due to the thickness of the section steel 115 Is ignored.
Since the first frame module 111 has a short length in the vertical direction, it may include only the first mounting space 1141 and the second mounting space 1142, and the third frame module 113 has a short length in the horizontal direction. Therefore, only the first mounting space 1141 and the third mounting space 1143 may be included.
8 is a perspective view showing an example of an air purifier 164 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air purifier 164 may be disposed in one of the mounting spaces 114 of the frame structure 110, and the basket 130 may be omitted by forming the outer case in a size suitable for the size of the mounting space 114 .
The air purifier 164 needs an opening in order to suck in air to remove impurities and discharge the air again. An opening may be formed by forming a hole in the front, but if the opening is exposed to the front in the art wall of the smart wall, it may be an obstacle in terms of design. In addition, when air is leaked through an opening formed in the art wall, the air may be directly contacted to the user, which may cause discomfort or decrease the user's body temperature in winter.
Therefore, the air cleaner of the present invention opens and closes the front cover 155 forming the same plane as the art wall as shown in (b) of FIG. 8 to form openings 1642a and 1642d through the air cleaner in the lateral direction. can do. The front cover 155 may have the same design as the art wall, and the air purifier 164 may include a driving unit 200 for moving the front cover 155.
Since the front cover 155 moves and protrudes in the front direction, the air purifier 164 may be located under the smart wall 100. In this case, since the lower portion of the air purifier 164 faces the floor, the flow path may be designed so that air is introduced in the lateral direction of the air purifier 164 and the air is discharged to the upper side.
9 is a cross-sectional view taken along AA and BB of FIG. 8(b), and FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view according to an example of an air purifier 164 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9A is a cross-sectional view AA showing a path through which air is introduced, and FIG. 9B is a cross-sectional view BB showing a path through which air is discharged.
The air purifier 164 of the present invention includes a fixed frame 1641 fixed to the frame structure of a smart wall and a moving frame 1642 moving relative to the fixed frame 1641. It may include a driving unit 200 for moving the moving frame 1642 in the first direction. The inner frame 1645 positioned inside the fixed frame 1641 includes a first opening connected to the inlet 1642a and a second opening connected to the outlet 1642d. A filter 1643 positioned at a first opening of the inner frame 1645 and a fan 1644 for forcing air to pass through the filter 1643 are disposed inside the inner frame 1645.
The filter 1643 may be disposed in a plurality of layers to filter out impurities of external air. The front cover 155 is coupled to the moving frame 1642 and can move in the front direction together with the moving frame 1642. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the front cover 155 and the moving frame 1642 are referred to as a moving part, and the fixed frame 1641, the inner frame 1645, the filter 1643 and the fan 1644 are referred to as a fixed part.
The inlet (1642a) and the outlet (1642d) are formed around the movable frame (1642) so that when the movable frame (1642) and the front cover (155) move, the space between the front cover 155 and the fixed frame (1641) is It can be exposed to the outside through. Since the inlet port 1642a and the outlet port 1642d of the present invention are located in a side or upper direction, a passage through which air may be moved can be provided without being clearly seen from the front direction. The mesh or rubber is located at the suction port 1642a and the discharge port 1642d, and can prevent large foreign substances or insects from entering the inside.
The moving frame 1642 includes a first flow path 1642b from the inlet 1642a to the filter 1643 and a second flow path 1642c for moving the air passing through the filter 1643 to the outlet 1642d. I can. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view CC of FIG. 10, showing the flow of air in which air introduced from the inlet 1642a located in the lateral direction moves toward the filter 1643 and moves to the outlet 1642d located in the upper side. have.
The moving frame 1642 may include a separating plate 1642f that divides between the suction port 1642a and the discharge port 1642d. The separating plate 1642f may form at least one part of the first flow path 1642b and the second flow path 1642c, and serves to shield the air introduced from the intake port 1642a from being directly discharged to the discharge port 1642d. Do it.
12 is a diagram showing a difference in performance according to the presence or absence of a rib 1647 of the air purifier 164 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The filter 1643 has a larger area than the inlet 1642a, and the life of the filter 1643 is prolonged only when air passes evenly throughout the filter 1643. When the flow of air is concentrated at a specific location of the filter 1643, contamination is partially concentrated, thereby reducing the amount of air that can be actually purified. The guide part guides the air flow so that air evenly passes through the filter 1643.
As shown in (a) of FIG. 12, since air is introduced from the side direction of the filter 1643 in the intake port 1642a of the present invention, there is a problem that air is concentrated on both left and right sides. In order to induce air flow to the central portion of the filter 1643, the guide portion of this embodiment is the inner side of the front cover 155 (a portion overlapped with the front cover 155 of the moving frame 1642) as shown in FIG. 12(b). In this case, a rib 1647 protruding from the inner side 1642e of the moving frame 1642 may be included.
As shown in (c) of FIG. 12, the rib 1647 may be formed radially toward one point in the center, and since the inlet 1642a is located in the left and right lateral directions, the rib 1647 extending in the horizontal direction is You can also use it. Like the rib 1647, a guide portion may be formed by forming an inclined surface on the inner surface itself of the moving frame 1642 instead of a plate-shaped member.
However, the height of the guide portion is limited by the filter 1643 because the guide portion should not come into contact with the filter 1643 when the moving frame 1642 and the front cover 155 are moved and closed. The guide portion may include a flexible material so that the height of the guide portion is variable.
13 is a view for explaining the seat portion 1646 of the air purifier 164 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The guide portion using the flexible seat portion 1646 may provide a guide portion that protrudes more than the guide portion of the rib 1647 without overlapping with the filter 1643. The circumference of the seat portion 1646 may be fixed to the moving portion and the central portion may be fixed to the center of the filter 1643. The seat portion 1646 may have a circular shape as shown in FIG. 13A and may have a rectangular shape corresponding to the shape of the moving frame 1642. As shown in (a) of FIG. 13, a point fixed to the filter 1643 of the seat portion 1646 may be one point at the center, or a plurality of points may be fixed to the filter 1643. Since the suction ports 1642a are located on the left and right, a plurality of fixing points may be arranged in the vertical direction.
The sheet part 1646 is made of a flexible fabric or film material, and the inclined surface is low when the front cover 155 is closed as shown in (b) of FIG. 13, but when the front cover 155 is opened as shown in (c) of FIG. The slope can be higher. Even if the space between the movable frame 1642 and the filter 1643 is reduced, an inclined surface having a sufficient height can be secured, and thus air flow toward the center of the filter 1643 can be promoted.
Since the air purifier 164 of the present invention is mounted in the hexahedral mounting space 130 of the smart wall 100, it has a square shape and the front cover 155 can be formed in a square shape having four corners. When the moving distances of the four corners of the front cover 155 and the moving frame 1642 are uniform, the moving part can stably move in the front and rear direction.
As shown in FIG. 10, the driving unit 200 of the present embodiment includes two motors 211 and guides the movement of the two corners using a long rotation shaft 214 that transmits the rotational force of the motor 211. Since the number of motors 211 can be reduced by using the rotation shaft 214 and the two edges move simultaneously, there is an advantage in that the moving part does not become distorted due to an error in the number of rotations of the motor 211.
14 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the driving unit 200 of FIG. 10, and as shown in FIG. 14(a), the driving unit 200 of the present embodiment controls the rotational force of the motor 211 and the motor 211 It may include a power transmission unit that receives the transmission and converts it into linear motion and transmits it to the moving frame 1642.
The power transmission unit may include a pinion gear 213 that rotates according to the rotation of the motor 211 and a rack gear 217b that linearly moves when the pinion gear 213 rotates. As shown in FIG. 14, a plurality of gears may be used between the pinion gear 213 and the motor 211 to secure the mounting space of the motor 211 or to adjust the number of rotations. A pinion gear 213 having a rotation shaft 214 facing a different direction from the rotation shaft 214 of the motor 211 may be implemented, and the rotation speed of the pinion gear 213 may also be configured differently from the motor 211. The rack gear (217b) is coupled to the moving part, and the pinion gear (213) and the motor (211) may be located on the fixed frame (1641), and when the motor 211 rotates, the moving part is as much as the moving distance of the rack gear (217b). Move.
The power transmission unit may include a guide slot 218a and a guide protrusion 217a so that the rack gear 217b moves in a linear direction when the pinion gear 213 is rotated. Referring to FIG. 14, the guide slot 218a is shown to be located in the fixing frame 1641 and the guide protrusion 217a is located in the moving part, but the guide protrusion 217a is opposite to the guide slot 218a in the fixed part. May be located in the department.
Although the rotation shaft 214 of the present embodiment extends in the horizontal direction, the movement of the corners disposed in the vertical direction may be synchronized by using the rotation shaft 214 extending in the vertical direction. The pinion gear 213 and the rack gear 217b are positioned at the end of the rotation shaft 214, and by transmitting the rotation of the motor 211, the moving part can be moved forward and backward. In order to transmit power to the four corners, the present embodiment may include two motors 211 as shown in FIG. 10.
15 is an exploded perspective view showing an air purifier 164 according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the rotation shaft 214 may be omitted and the driving unit 200 positioned between a pair of corners may be used. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the driving unit 200 of FIG. 15, and the moving unit may stably move through a pair of motors 211, a pair of pinion gears 213, and a rack gear 217b. As in the above-described embodiment, a guide slot 218a and a guide protrusion 217a may be included. However, since the rotation shaft 214, the pair of pinion gear 213, and the rack gear 217b can be omitted than in the above-described embodiment, member cost can be reduced.
In this way, when a plurality of motors 211 are provided, the front cover 155 may move asymmetrically when an error in rotational speed occurs between the motors 211. The air purifier 164 of the present invention includes a plurality of distance sensors 1648 for sensing the distance between the fixed frame 1641 and the moving frame 1642 in order to solve the above problem, and the distance sensor 1648 detects If one distance is different, it may include a control unit that controls the motor 211 so that the moving unit can move in parallel.
When a finger or an object is detected between the front cover 155 and the fixed frame 1641, the distance sensor 1648 detects this and stops driving the motor 211 to prevent the drive unit 200 of the air purifier 164 from failing. It can be operated while preventing and considering the safety of the user. The accuracy of the sensor 1648 for detecting an object between the front cover 155 and the fixed frame 1641 is sufficient if it is lower than that of the distance sensor 1648 for detecting the symmetrical drive of the moving frame 1642. Accordingly, an inexpensive sensor 1648 having a low sensitivity is further disposed in a portion where the distance sensor 1648 is not located, so that an object inserted between the front cover 155 and the fixed frame 1641 can be detected.
17 is an exploded perspective view showing an air purifier 164 according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the driving unit 200 of FIG. 17. In this embodiment, as the driving unit 200 using one motor 231, the movement of the moving unit may be induced using the link 235. The link 235 may include a first link 235 directly connected to the motor 231 and a second link 236 arranged symmetrically with the first link 235 to assist the movement of the moving unit.
One end of the first link 235 may be coupled to the fixing frame 1641 so as to rotate according to the rotation of the motor 231. The other side of the first link 235 may be coupled to the moving frame 1642 to move the moving frame 1642 in the front direction when the motor 231 rotates. As shown in FIG. 18, the first link 235 may naturally convert a rotational motion on one side to a linear motion on the other side by using a joint portion. A portion coupled to the other side of the moving frame 1642 may include a guide protrusion 217a to move along the guide slot 218a positioned in the fixed frame 1642.
The second link 236 may include a second tooth 236b rotating in engagement with the first tooth 235b formed at the other end of the first link 235 so as to move symmetrically with the first link 236. . The second link 236 may move in accordance with the linear motion and rotational motion of the other end of the first link 235 and may move symmetrically with the first link 235.
As described above, in the air purifier according to the present invention, the front cover can be opened only when necessary, so that when not in use, the air purifier can be maintained in an inconspicuous state.
It is possible to extend the life of the filter by providing a guide portion that guides the flow of air to utilize the entire area of the filter. In addition, the front cover can be opened stably to solve the problem of injuries to the user and to minimize the breakdown of the air purifier.
In the smart wall according to another aspect of the present invention, multimedia devices such as TV and audio are mounted on the wall and installed on the wall at the same height on the wall to provide a clean appearance. It is modularized so that any home appliance can be easily mounted, and if repair is required, only the module can be easily removed, so installation and maintenance are simple, and when additional multimedia devices or home appliances are added, it can be easily expanded by adding a unit.
The above detailed description should not be construed as restrictive in all respects and should be considered as illustrative. The scope of the present invention should be determined by reasonable interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the equivalent scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
