Referring to FIG. 1 , a wearable air cleaning device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mask member 110 and a neck band member 120.

The mask member 110 may be formed of a transparent material through which a face may be exposed to the outside. In addition, a hot wire may be formed inside the mask member 110 . Here, the hot wire may be formed through laser filament growth and sintering. Through this, the mask member 110 can prevent the inside of the mask from fogging due to temperature changes.

The mask member 110 may include a face protection part 111 , a first contact part 112 and a second contact part 113 . The face shield is formed in a structure surrounding the face, and a heat wire may be formed inside the face shield. In addition, the first contact part and the second contact part are formed to closely contact the nose and chin, respectively, and may be made of the same material as the face protection part. The first contact part and the second contact part may be formed by bending the face protection part so as to bring the nose and chin into close contact.

The face protection part, the first contact part, and the second contact part may be formed of a transparent material, and the first contact part and the second contact part may be formed of the same material as the face protection part or may be formed of different materials.

The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are each formed of a plurality of layers. That is, the first connection part and the second connection part may be formed of the inner layer 410b and the outer layer 410a, respectively. The inner layer 410b is a part of the wearer's body that comes into contact with each other, and the outer layer 410a may be a part that is exposed to the outside.

In this case, a filter may be positioned between the inner layer 410b and the outer layer 410a.

More specifically, a filter may be positioned between the inner layer 410b and the outer layer 410a, and a portion of the mask may be positioned between the inner layer 410b and the filter.

Therefore, when outside air is introduced from the neckband member through the connection hole formed in the outer layer 410a, it is filtered through a filter positioned adjacent to the outer layer 410a, and then the intake port 710 formed in the inner layer 410b Through this, air is introduced into the inside of the mask member 110 .

As shown in FIG. 7 , a plurality of intake holes 710 may be formed in the inner layer 410b of the connecting portion 410 . In FIG. 7 , it is assumed that the shape of the intake hole 710 is a rectangle, but the shape of the intake hole 710 is not limited to a rectangle and may be formed in a circular or polygonal shape.

Due to this, air passing through the filter formed between the mask member 110 and the inner layer 410b may be introduced into the mask through the air intake hole 710 formed in the inner layer 410b of the connecting portion 410 .

As shown in FIG. 4 , a connection hole 420 is formed on one surface of the first connection part and the second connection part. As shown in FIG. 6 , when the first connection part and the second connection part are formed in a plurality of layers, the connection hole 420 may be formed only in the outer layer 410a and may not be formed in the inner layer 410b.

The connection hole 420 is a configuration for inserting a part of the neck band member 120 . After a portion of the neckband member 120 is inserted through the connection hole 420, it may be fixedly coupled through a one-touch coupling formed therein. For example, the connection part 410 and the neck band member 120 may be coupled through a male and female connection in a harness cord method.

The neckband member 120 may be worn around the wearer's neck, allow outside air to flow into the mask member 110 coupled to both ends, and discharge air inside the mask to the outside.

The intake member 810 is a means for injecting external air into the mask member 110 by transferring the air through an air introduction path formed inside the neck band member 120 after intake of external air into the neck band member.

More specifically, the air taken in by the intake member 810 is introduced into the neckband member 120, and the introduced air moves in the first direction through the air introduction path formed in the neckband member 120. After being moved to the connection part 410 combined with the mask member 110 and filtered, it can be injected into the mask.

The intake member 810 may be configured as an intake fan.

The exhaust member 820 may be an exhaust fan, and is a means for discharging the air inside the mask through the neck band member 120 to the outside.

More specifically, when the exhaust member 820 is driven, the air inside the mask passes through the connecting portion 410 of the mask member 110 to the second direction through an air inlet formed inside the neckband member 120. It may be moved and discharged to the outside through the exhaust member 820 .

Referring to the movement of air, the air introduced by the intake member 810 is moved in the first direction through the internal air introduction path, and one end of the mask member 110 through one end of the neckband member 120. After moving through the connection part 410 formed in the connection part 410, it is filtered through the filter formed inside the connection part 410, and then moves into the inside of the mask through the intake/exhaust hole 710 formed on the inner surface of the connection part 410.

In addition, the air inside the mask is introduced through the other end of the neck band member 120 through the intake/exhaust hole 710 formed on the inner surface of the connection part 410 formed on the other end of the mask member 110, and then the connection part 410. ) After being filtered through a filter located inside, it is moved through the other end of the neck band member 120 and moved in a second direction through an internal air inflow path, and then can be exhausted to the outside by the exhaust member 820.

Driving speeds of the intake member 810 and the exhaust member 820 may be controlled by the controller 830 . Also, as shown in FIG. 9 , the neck band member 120 may include an input button 840 for adjusting speed. When the input button 840 is manipulated by the user, the controller 830 may control the driving speeds of the intake member 810 and the exhaust member 820 corresponding to the manipulation of the input button 840 . As another example, the controller 830 detects the respiratory volume through a sensor (not shown) formed on the mask member 110 and then controls the driving speed of the intake member 810 and the exhaust member 820 according to the detected respiratory volume. You may.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 10 , the neckband member 120 may further include a power source member including a battery. Accordingly, the neckband member 120 may be driven by applying electricity to the intake member 810 and the exhaust member 820 when the power button 840 is pressed.

The power button and the input button for speed control may be configured as one button. In this case, the controller 830 may control power on, light wind, weak wind, strong wind, and power off to toggle according to the number of times the button is pressed.
