Since the partition 10 of the present application is erected on the ground indoors, a frame 103 serving as a support thereof is required.

The frame 103 fixes the first plywood 101 and the second plywood 102 . For the convenience of assembling the partition 10 and transporting its materials, it is advantageous that the partition 10 is fixed to a portion of the first plywood 101 and the second plywood 102 . For example, the frame 103 is fixed to the outer periphery of the first plywood 101 and the second plywood 102 .

The first plywood 101 and the second plywood 102 are fixed to the frame 103 , but may be designed to be attached and/or detached from the frame 103 as necessary.

The purification module 90 is provided in the panel body 100, and an air purification plant panel 91, a moisture absorption panel 92 and an electrostatic panel ( 93). That is, the electrostatic panel 93 , the moisture absorption panel 92 , and the air purification plant panel 91 are sequentially positioned in a direction away from the panel body 100 .

The purification module 90 may be provided in at least a partial area of the plywood 101 and 102 . In addition, the purification module 90 is provided in at least a portion of at least one of the first and second plywoods 101 and 102 . For example, the purification module 90 may be mounted at a predetermined position of the first or second plywood 101 or 102 . To this end, the first plywood and/or the second plywood 101 and 102 of the panel body may be provided with one or more mounting portions to which the purification module 90 can be mounted. In addition, the purification module 90 may be mounted at a predetermined position of each of the first and second plywoods 101 and 102 . As another example, when the purification module 90 is mounted on the first and/or second plywood 101 and 102 , a height adjustment is possible. That is, a rail provided with a plurality of mounting parts may be installed on the first and/or second plywood so that the purification module 90 can be mounted at a desired position by the user, and the purification module ( 90) by mounting, it may be possible to adjust the height.

The purification module 90 may be provided integrally with the first and/or second plywood 101 and 102 , or may be mounted on the first and/or second plywood 101 and 102 . In addition, the purification module 90 may be provided integrally with the first and/or second plywoods 101 and 102 , and may be detachably provided on the first and/or second plywoods 101 and 102 . may be For example, the purification module 90 may be attached to a mounting part provided on the first and/or second plywood 101 and 102, fastened through fastening means such as bolts, or assembled by an assembly structure such as a hook. there is.

Hereinafter, the structure of the partition 10 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 1 . Figure 1 (a) is a side cross-sectional view of the stacked structure of the purification module 90 according to an embodiment of the present application, (b) is an exploded perspective view.

The purification module 90 includes an air purification plant panel 91 , a moisture absorption panel 92 and an electrostatic panel 93 . The harmful factors present in the atmosphere of either side (the first side or the second side) of the partition 10 are the air purifying plant panels ( 91), the moisture absorption panel 92, and the electrostatic panel 93 are removed through the sequence. That is, in the laminated structure, the panels are provided along a direction from the plywood ( 101 , 102 ) toward the panel body ( 100 ).

Since harmful factors passing through the panels according to the above sequence may remain in the plywood, it is necessary to remove its activity from the viewpoint of thoroughly blocking the spread of harmful factors. Accordingly, the partition 10 of the present application further comprises a sterilizing light 104 . The sterilization light 104 is provided to irradiate light toward the purification module 90 . In this case, the sterilization light 104 may be irradiated to each of the air purification plant panel 91 , the moisture absorption panel 92 , and the electrostatic panel 93 , and in particular, may be provided to irradiate only the electrostatic panel 93 .

In the present specification, while describing the lighting, the term “sterilization” is used, but this is described because the harmful factors are mostly composed of organic substances such as bacteria. Therefore, when the harmful factor is an inorganic material such as fine dust, even when light is irradiated from the sterilization lighting 104 , the sterilization phenomenon does not proceed within the partition 10 as it is in the term.

In the stacked structure, the electrostatic panel 93 means a plate-shaped member exhibiting an electrostatic function. In the partition 10 of the present application, harmful factors are mainly blocked by the electrostatic panel 93 . To implement this function, the electrostatic panel 93 includes an electrostatic filter.

As used herein, the term electrostatic filter is a composite fiber, as is known, and is an electrostatically treated member. An electrostatic filter refers to a material that allows the atmosphere to pass through while attaching harmful factors by static fibers.

In one example, the electrostatic filter may be a melt-blown nonwoven fabric. Melt-blown nonwoven fabric is a polymer that can form thermoplastic fibers such as PP (polypropylene) is spun through a spinneret formed of hundreds of small orifices, and the polymer extruded from the spinneret is in the molten state on both sides of the spinneret. It refers to a self-bonding nonwoven fabric manufactured by a manufacturing method in which ultrafine fibers are laminated on a collector by hot air sprayed at high speed.

This melt blown nonwoven fabric exhibits excellent properties as a medium and high performance filter. The medium-high performance filter refers to filters corresponding to the MERV 7 to 16 level of the American air filter standard ANSI/ASHRAE 52.2 (1999). Depending on the grade, particles with an average size of 0.4 to 0.6 μm can be blocked. The higher the MERV value, the better the filter efficiency and the higher the grade of the filter.

Meanwhile, in the present application, a technique known as an electrostatic filter or an equivalent thereof may be applied. For example, the electrostatic panel 93 may further include a support panel, and in the electrostatic panel 93 , the electrostatic filter may be stacked on at least one surface of the support panel. The support panel is a panel introduced to maintain the shape of the electrostatic panel 93 as the term is.

As mentioned in the partition 10 of the present application, the plywood 101, 102 can be attached and/or detached from the frame 103, the electrostatic member also exists in an attached state in the laminated structure, and the replacement is It can also be detached if necessary.

In the partition 10 of the present application, the air purification plant panel 91 comprises a moss plant. Moss plants are plants that absorb moisture from the air by themselves for growth. Moss plants capture harmful elements in the atmosphere. Although the type of moss plant applied in the present application is not limited, in general, Scandia Moss may be applied.

Most plants need to be supplied with moisture from the outside for growth. In general, a user supplies moisture to grow the plant. Accordingly, the partition 10 of the present application can easily capture harmful elements.

Meanwhile, when the air purifying plant panel 91 is in contact with the electrostatic panel 93 , if the air purifying plant panel 91 collects moisture in the air, the function of the electrostatic panel 93 may be impaired. Accordingly, the laminate structure further includes a moisture absorption panel 92 present between the air purifying plant panel 91 and the electrostatic panel 93 . By introducing this, it is possible to minimize the deterioration of the function of the electrostatic panel 93 caused by the movement of moisture absorbed by the air purifying plant to the electrostatic panel 93 . Usually, the porous polymer has a moisture absorption function through its pores. Accordingly, the moisture absorption panel 92 may include a porous polymer. The polymer applied at this time includes cork and the like.

Referring to FIG. 5 , as described above, the purification module 90 may be formed of at least a portion of the plywood 101 and 102 . As shown in (a) of FIG. 5, it may be formed only on one of the first plywood 101 or the second plywood 102 among the plywoods 101 and 102, and as shown in (b), the first The plywood 101 and the second plywood 102 may be formed at the same or different heights on both sides, and may be formed between the first plywood 101 and the second plywood 102 as shown in (c). .

The ratio or shape of the purification module 90 in the plywood 101 and 102 is not particularly limited. When configuring the exterior of the partition 10, it is common to change the belt-line dividing the upper region and the lower region from the viewpoint of aesthetic and functional aspects thereof, but is not limited thereto.

As described above, the purification module 90 may be positioned on the surface where the air purification plant panel 91 is exposed from the outside. These plants are a big factor in determining the appearance. As described above, as a change in the appearance of the partition 10 , it is common to change the belt-line of the partition 10 . Accordingly, the purification module 90 may form a belt-line in the plywood 101 and 102 . The purification module 90 for forming a belt-line in the plywood 101 and 102 may be formed in plurality, and may be formed in a height adjustable form. Also, as shown in FIG. 4 , the electrostatic panel 93 may be further separated from the purification module 90 to be provided in an area other than the belt-line.

When irradiating light for sterilization, it is usually irradiated with ultraviolet rays. Accordingly, the sterilization light 104 may be provided to irradiate ultraviolet rays toward the purification module 90 . In addition, it is advantageous to apply a light emitting diode (LED) as a light source of the sterilization light 104 in consideration of energy saving, lifespan of lighting, and environmental-friendly characteristics. In order to drive the sterilization light 104 in the above, power may be supplied to the sterilization light 104 by using a separate power supply.

In one example, the sterilization light 104 may be present inside the partition 10 . Specifically, the sterilization light 104 may be fixed to the panel body 100 . That is, it exists between the first plywood 101 and the second plywood 102 , and may be fixed to the frame 103 . At this time, the sterilization light 104 may be fixed to the upper portion of the frame 103, and may irradiate light to the purification module 90 of the first and second plywood 101 and 102 (refer to FIG. 2). ).

In another example, the sterilization light 104 may be separated from the panel body 100 at a predetermined interval. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 , the sterilization light 104 may be fixed to the ceiling of a space in a room, and the air purification plant panel 91 , the moisture absorption panel 92 , or the purification module 90 . At least one of the electrostatic panels 93 may be irradiated with light.

From the viewpoint of securing visibility and a sense of openness between the work spaces divided by the partition 10 in the room, the plywood of the partition 10 may further include a transparent area 110 formed in at least a portion of the partition 10 . The transparent region 110 may be made of glass or a transparent polymer material. The transparent region 110 is usually formed on the top of the plywood.

The partition 10 of the present application may include all known elements necessary to configure the partition 10 in addition to the above elements. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , in addition to the above elements, the partition 10 of the present application includes the upper bar 121, the upper bar cap 122, the closing bar 123, and the closing bar cap, which are other ancillary elements necessary for assembling it. 124 , a lower end 125 , and a lower end cap 126 .
