1 to 4, the air clean fan 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a case 100 that provides an external appearance. The case 100 includes a base case 150 on which the filter 200 is installed, and a tower case 140 for discharging air through the Coanda effect.

And the tower case 140 includes a first tower 110 and a second tower 120 that are arranged separately in the form of two pillars. In this embodiment, the first tower 110 is disposed on the left side, and the second tower 120 is disposed on the right side.

The first tower 110 and the second tower 120 are spaced apart, and a blowing space 105 is formed between the first tower 110 and the second tower 120 .

The first discharge port and the second discharge port are disposed within the height of the blowing space, and a direction crossing the blowing space 105 is defined as an air discharge direction.

Since the first tower 110 and the second tower 120 are disposed on the left and right, the air discharge direction may be formed in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction in this embodiment.

That is, the air discharging direction crossing the blowing space 105 includes a first air discharging direction S1 arranged in a horizontal direction and a second air discharging direction S2 formed in a vertical direction.

The air flowing in the first air discharging direction S1 is referred to as a horizontal airflow, and the air flowing in the second air discharging direction S2 is referred to as an upward airflow.

It should be understood that the horizontal air flow does not mean that the air flows only in the horizontal direction, but that the flow rate of the air flowing in the horizontal direction is greater. Likewise, it should be understood that the updraft flow does not mean that the air only flows in the upward direction, but that the flow rate of the air flowing in the upward direction is greater.

In this embodiment, the upper gap and the lower gap of the blowing space 105 are formed to be the same. Unlike the present embodiment, the upper gap of the blowing space 105 may be formed to be narrower or wider than the lower gap.

By uniformly forming the left and right widths of the blowing space 105, it is possible to form a more uniform flow of air flowing in the front of the blowing space.

For example, when the width of the upper side is different from the width of the lower side, the flow velocity of the wide side may be formed low, and a deviation of the velocity may be generated based on the vertical direction. When the air flow velocity deviation occurs in the vertical direction, the arrival length of the air may vary.

After the air discharged from the first discharge port and the second discharge port merge in the blowing space 105, it may flow to the user.

The shortest distance between the first inner wall 115 and the second inner wall 125 is referred to as B0. The discharge ports 117 and 127 are located on the rear side of the shortest distance B0.

A separation distance between the front end 112 of the first tower 110 and the front end 122 of the second tower 120 is referred to as a first separation distance B1, and the rear end 113 and the second end of the first tower 110 The separation distance of the rear end 123 of the tower 120 is referred to as a second separation distance B2.

In this embodiment, B1 and B2 are formed identically. Unlike the present embodiment, any one of B1 or B2 may be formed to have a longer length.

The first outlet 117 and the second outlet 127 are preferably disposed closer to the rear end 113 of the first tower 110 and the rear end 123 of the second tower 120 than the B0.

The closer the discharge ports 117 and 127 are disposed to the rear ends 113 and 123, the easier it is to control the airflow through the Coanda effect, which will be described later.

The inner wall 115 of the first tower 110 and the inner wall 125 of the second tower 120 directly provide the Coanda effect, and the outer wall 114 of the first tower 110 and the second The outer wall 124 of the two towers 120 indirectly provides the Coanda effect.

The inner walls 115 and 125 directly guide the air discharged from the outlets 117 and 127 to the front ends 112 and 122 .

That is, the air discharged from the discharge ports 117 and 127 directly provides a horizontal air flow.

Due to the air flow in the blowing space 105 , an indirect air flow is also generated in the outer walls 114 and 124 .

The outer walls 114 and 124 induce a Coanda effect on the indirect air flow and guide the indirect air flow to the front ends 112 and 122 .
