가습 공기정화기humidification air purifier
본 발명은 가습 공기정화기에 관한 것으로서, 더 구체적으로는 미세한 그물 형태의 주름필터에 오염된 공기를 통과시켜 주름필터에 오염물질이 흡착되게 하고, 흡착된 오염물질은 물로 세척하여 공기를 정화하도록 하는 가습 공기정화기에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a humidifying air purifier, and more particularly, to pass contaminated air through a fine net-shaped pleated filter so that contaminants are adsorbed to the pleated filter, and the adsorbed contaminants are washed with water to purify the air. It is about a humidifying air purifier.

상기 건식 공기정화기는, 헤파필터 및 활성탄필터를 통과시켜 여과하는 여과 필터식, 전기 집진식, 자외선을 이용한 광 촉매 방식, 플라즈마를 이용한 방식 등이 있다. The dry air purifier includes a filtration filter type that filters through a HEPA filter and an activated carbon filter, an electrostatic precipitator type, a photocatalytic method using ultraviolet rays, a method using plasma, and the like.
여과 필터식은 높은 필터교체 비용과 초미세먼지 제거에 한계를 가지고 있고, 전기 집진식은 낮은 집진 효율과 오존을 발생시키고, 자외선을 이용한 광 촉매 방식과 플라즈마를 이용한 방식은 인체 유해성 문제를 잠재적으로 가지고 있다.The filtration filter type has high filter replacement cost and limitations in removing ultrafine dust, the electric dust collection type generates low dust collection efficiency and ozone, and the photocatalytic method using ultraviolet rays and the method using plasma have potential harm to the human body. .
특히, 건식 공기정화기는 정화 공기가 가온/건조되어 상부로 비산(飛散))하여 실내에서 창문을 닫고 사용해야 하며, 습기에 약하여 실외 사용에는 적합하지 않다.In particular, the dry air purifier is heated/dried and scatters the purified air upwards, so it must be used indoors with the windows closed, and is not suitable for outdoor use because it is weak against moisture.
아울러, 건식 공기정화기를 주로 사용하는, 봄은 건조하여, 가습기를 별도로 가동해야 하는 실정이다. In addition, spring, which mainly uses dry air purifiers, is dry, and the humidifier must be operated separately.
습식 공기정화기는 오염공기를 물 막에 접촉시키는 주름필터식과, 분무된 물방울에 접촉시키는 분무식으로 크게 구분할 수 있을 것이다.Wet air purifiers can be roughly divided into a pleated filter type that contacts polluted air with a water film and a spray type that contacts sprayed water droplets.
상기 습식필터식은 오염공기를 습식필터에 통과시켜, 오염물질이 걸러지고 물막에 흡착/용해되어 정화효율이 높지만, 습식필터의 기공에 물막이 형성되어 고풍압/고소음 팬이 필요하고 오염물질을 포함하고 있는 배수를 회수하여 처리해야 하는 단점이 있다. The wet filter type passes contaminated air through the wet filter, and the contaminants are filtered and adsorbed/dissolved in the water film, so the purification efficiency is high, but a water film is formed in the pores of the wet filter, so a high wind pressure / high noise fan is required and contains pollutants There is a downside to collecting and disposing of wastewater.
분무식은 분무에 큰 비용이 소요되고, 분무 물방울과 오염공기의 접촉 효율이 낮고, 분무 물방울의 제거가 곤란하여 장비 효율이 낮은 단점이 있다. The spray type has disadvantages such as high cost for spraying, low contact efficiency between spray droplets and contaminated air, and low equipment efficiency due to difficulty in removing spray droplets.
특히, 습식 공기정화기는, 정화된 공기가 증발냉각 효과로 냉각되어, 무거워져서 지표면으로 가라앉아 건식 공기정화기보다, 정화공기의 경제성이 높다.In particular, in the wet type air purifier, the purified air is cooled by the evaporative cooling effect, becomes heavy and sinks to the ground, so the economic efficiency of the purified air is higher than that of the dry type air purifier.
이러한 공기정화기 문제점을 해결하기 위한 기술이 연구개발 되고 있다. Research and development are being conducted on technologies to solve these air purifier problems.
관련 선행기술로서, 특허 제10-1978028호 "물필터 플라즈마 공기청정기"에서는 플라즈마 방전된 오염공기를 벽면에 부착된 친수성의 섬유재로 만든 물 필터와 접촉을 통하여 물 필터의 수분과 결합하는 방식으로 미세먼지와 유기 기체를 제거하고 각종 병원균을 살균할 수 있는 기술이 소개되고 있다.As a related prior art, Patent No. 10-1978028 "Water filter plasma air purifier" combines plasma discharged polluted air with moisture in the water filter through contact with a water filter made of hydrophilic fibrous material attached to the wall.

그러나 상기 선행기술은 벽면에 부착된 물 필터와 오염공기의 접촉으로는 유해가스와 미세먼지 제거는 효율이 낮을 수 있고, 분사 물 입자와 공기의 충돌은 고소음을 유발하고, 헤파필터로 1차 필터링 및 사이클론 선회류와 물 입자의 접촉은 미세먼지 제거효율을 높일 수 있으나, 장비가 크고 무거우며, 높은 소음 문제가 발생하는 등 문제점이 있었다.However, the prior art may have low efficiency in removing harmful gases and fine dust due to contact between the water filter attached to the wall and the contaminated air, and the collision between the sprayed water particles and the air causes high-pitched noise, and the HEPA filter first Filtering and contact of cyclone swirl flow and water particles can increase the efficiency of fine dust removal, but there are problems such as large and heavy equipment and high noise.

바람직하게는, 주름필터(133) 및 심지필터(135)는 인견, 아세테이트, 면, 마, 폴리에스터, 나일론, PET, 폴리프로필렌 중 하나의 재질이며, 상기 주름필터(200)는 수분 흡수력이 높은 재질 또는 형태가 바람직하다.Preferably, the pleated filter 133 and the wick filter 135 are made of one of artificial silk, acetate, cotton, hemp, polyester, nylon, PET, and polypropylene, and the pleated filter 200 has a high moisture absorption capacity. The material or shape is preferred.
여기서, 주름필터(133)는 상기 케이스(131)의 상하 복층 구조의 연결살(131a)(131b)을 따라 상/하를 반복적으로 걸려 산(133a)과 골(133b) 형태로 걸쳐 설치할 수 있는 데, 주름필터(133)의 산(133a)과 골(133b) 형태에서 골과 산의 거리가 5mm 이상으로 형성함이 바람직하다.Here, the pleated filter 133 is repeatedly hung up and down along the connection teeth 131a and 131b of the upper and lower multi-layer structure of the case 131, which can be installed over the form of peaks 133a and valleys 133b. However, in the shape of the peaks 133a and valleys 133b of the pleated filter 133, it is preferable that the distance between the valleys and mountains is 5 mm or more.
또한, 심지필터(135)는 상기 주름필터(133)의 하부에 설치되는 급수조(120)와 주름필터(133)를 연결하여 모세관 현상으로 물을 주름필터에 공급한다. 또한, 주름필터 1개에 1개의 심지필터가 도시되어 있지만, 주름필터의 면적에 따라 복수의 심지필터를 더 구비할 수도 있다. In addition, the wick filter 135 connects the water supply tank 120 installed below the pleat filter 133 and the pleat filter 133 to supply water to the pleat filter by capillary action. In addition, although one wick filter is shown for each pleated filter, a plurality of wick filters may be further provided according to the area of the pleated filter.
여기서, 상기 심지필터가 주름필터 하부에 설치되는 급수조에서 물을 공급하는 것은, 주름필터의 기공에 물 막 형성을 방지하고, 그물망의 필터에만 물이 코팅될 수 있게 물의 과잉 공급과 과소공급을 방지하는 중요한 기능을 할 수 있다. Here, supplying water from the water supply tank in which the wick filter is installed below the pleated filter prevents the formation of a water film in the pores of the pleated filter, and prevents oversupply and undersupply of water so that only the filter of the mesh can be coated with water. It can play an important role in preventing
또한, 상기 주름필터의 오염물질을 자외선 또는 가시광선 조사로 살균하고, 건조하여 오염물질을 집중적으로 모으는 효과 및 살균 효과를 갖도록 할 수 있다.In addition, contaminants of the pleat filter may be sterilized by irradiation with ultraviolet rays or visible rays and dried to have an effect of intensively collecting contaminants and a sterilization effect.
누름대(137)는 상기 케이스(131)의 연결살(131a)(131b)에 걸쳐 있는 주름필터(133)의 가장자리를 따라 밀착되어 주름필터(133)를 상기 케이스(131) 상에 밀착 고정할 수 있도록 형성할 수 있다. The presser 137 adheres closely along the edge of the pleat filter 133 spanning the connection teeth 131a and 131b of the case 131 to tightly fix the pleat filter 133 on the case 131. can be formed so that
여기서 상기 누름대(137)는 주름필터(133)의 형태를 유지시킬 수 있는 가볍고 튼튼한 플라스틱이 바람직하나, 탄성이 좋은 금속으로 제작할 수도 있다.Here, the pressure bar 137 is preferably made of light and durable plastic capable of maintaining the shape of the pleated filter 133, but may also be made of metal with good elasticity.
송풍기(140)는 외부 케이스(141) 내측에 모터로 구동되는 구동팬(142)으로 구성할 수 있다. The blower 140 may be configured as a driving fan 142 driven by a motor inside the outer case 141 .
또한, 송풍기는 공기 청정 기능보다 가습 기능이 더 중시되는 제품에 적합한 축류송풍기 일 수 있다. 또한, 축류송풍기는 축 방향으로 송풍을 하여 풍속이 빠르고, 송풍기의 부피가 작아서 소형제품에 적합하다. 한편, 최근 들어 가볍고 소형으로 제작되어 휴대가 용이한 핸디형 제품이 급격히 보급되고 있다. 이러한 핸디형 가습 공기정화기에는 축류송풍기가 적합할 것이다. 특히, 축류송풍기는 축 중심부에 송풍기의 모터와 회전축이 있어 풍속이 느리다. 이 축 중심부에 원통형 배터리를 배치한다면, 풍속을 줄이지 않고 핸디형으로 소형화할 수 있을 것이다. In addition, the blower may be an axial flow blower suitable for a product in which a humidifying function is more important than an air cleaning function. In addition, the axial flow blower blows in the axial direction, so the wind speed is fast, and the volume of the blower is small, so it is suitable for small products. On the other hand, in recent years, lightweight and small-sized, easy-to-carry, hand-held products are rapidly gaining popularity. An axial flow blower would be suitable for such a handy type humidifying air purifier. In particular, the axial flow blower has a motor and a rotating shaft of the blower at the center of the shaft, so the wind speed is slow. If a cylindrical battery is placed at the center of this axis, it will be possible to miniaturize the battery into a handheld type without reducing the wind speed.
한편, 도 6은 본 발명에 의한 가습 공기정화기의 필터에 따른 필터의 케이스와 누름대의 다른 실시 예를 보인 예시도로서, 상기 누름대(137)를 형성하되, 상기 케이스(130)와 접촉되는 주름필터(133)를 눌러주면서 케이스(130)의 내측면과 접촉되게 하고, 상기 누름대(137)의 하단부와 이에 대응하는 케이스(130)의 내측면은 상호 맞대응하는 쐐기 형태의 V형 누름돌기(130a)(137a)로 각각 형성할 수도 있다. 이때 상기 V형 누름돌기에 의해 주름필터는 케이스 상에서 더욱 견고하게 자리 잡을 수 있다.On the other hand, FIG. 6 is an exemplary view showing another embodiment of a filter case and press bar according to a filter of a humidifying air purifier according to the present invention, forming the press bar 137, but wrinkles in contact with the case 130 While pressing the filter 133, bring it into contact with the inner surface of the case 130, and the lower end of the presser 137 and the inner surface of the case 130 corresponding thereto are wedge-shaped V-shaped pressing protrusions ( 130a) and 137a, respectively. At this time, the pleated filter can be more firmly positioned on the case by the V-shaped pressing protrusion.
또 한편으로, 도 7은 본 발명에 의한 가습 공기정화기의 필터에 따른 케이스의 다른 실시 예시로 평면과 측면을 보인 예시도이다. On the other hand, Figure 7 is an exemplary view showing a plane and a side view of another embodiment of a case according to a filter of a humidifying air purifier according to the present invention.
상기 케이스(130)의 측면에 측면홀(131e)을 다수개 구비하되, 측면홀(131e)에 삽입되어 주름필터(133)와 접촉되면서 오염물질을 수거하도록 하는 수거패드(150)를 더 포함하여 구성할 수도 있다.A plurality of side holes 131e are provided on the side of the case 130, and a collection pad 150 inserted into the side holes 131e and contacting the pleat filter 133 to collect contaminants is further included. can also be configured.
또한, 상기 수거패드(150)의 일측은 측면홀(131e)을 통하여 주름필터(133)와 접촉 형성되고, 타측은 주름필터(133) 반대쪽의 케이스(130)의 측면에 위치되며, 자외선 또는 가시광선 LED(미도시) 조사를 받도록 구성할 수도 있다.In addition, one side of the collection pad 150 is formed in contact with the pleat filter 133 through the side hole 131e, and the other side is located on the side of the case 130 opposite the pleat filter 133, and is UV or visible. It may also be configured to receive light ray LED (not shown) irradiation.
또한, 상기 수거패드는 인견, 아세테이트, 면, 마, 폴리에스터, 나일론, PET, 폴리프로필렌 중 단일 재질이나 복합재질로 구성될 수 있다.In addition, the collection pad may be made of a single material or a composite material among artificial silk, acetate, cotton, hemp, polyester, nylon, PET, and polypropylene.
또한, 상기 수거패드의 크기는 상기 케이스(130)의 측면에 위치하기 때문에 상기 주름필터에 비하여 아주 작아서 수거된 오염물질의 농도는 높을 수 있다. 오염물질의 농도나 높은 상기 수거패드는 측면홀(131e)에서 쉽게 분리하여 폐기할 수 있다.In addition, since the size of the collection pad is located on the side of the case 130, it is very small compared to the pleat filter, so the concentration of collected contaminants can be high. The collection pad having a high concentration of contaminants can be easily separated from the side hole 131e and discarded.
또한, 상기 수거패드는 크기가 작아서 자외선 또는 가시광선의 조사 거리가 짧아서 광원의 출력이 낮아도 미생물살균, 오염물질분해 및 수거패드 건조의 효과를 극대화할 수 있다.In addition, since the collection pad is small in size and the irradiation distance of ultraviolet or visible light is short, the effect of sterilizing microorganisms, decomposing contaminants, and drying the collection pad can be maximized even when the output of the light source is low.
상기 미생물살균은 253.7nm 조사가 효과적이며, 미생물에 의한 정화공기의 품질 저하를 방지할 수 있는 효과가 있다. 253.7nm irradiation is effective for sterilizing microorganisms, and has an effect of preventing quality deterioration of purified air caused by microorganisms.
상기 오염물질분해는 250~450nm 조사가 효과적이며, 오염물질분해로 상기 수거패드의 사용 기간을 연장할 수 있는 효과가 있다.250 to 450 nm irradiation is effective for decomposing pollutants, and the decomposition of pollutants has an effect of extending the use period of the collection pad.
상기 수거패드 건조는 상기 광원이 주된 원인이며, 상기 주름필터에서 물이 수거패드로 이동되는 원동력이 되며, 수거패드로 이동되는 물에 함유된 오염물질이 수거패드로 수거되는 효과가 있다.The light source is the main cause of the drying of the collection pad, which serves as a driving force for moving water from the pleat filter to the collection pad, and has the effect of collecting contaminants contained in the water moving to the collection pad.
또한, 상기 수거패드의 건조는 상기 광원이 존재하지 않아도 물의 공급속도 보다 물의 증발속도의 크면 발생하는 현상이다. 상기 주름필터에서는 심지필터에서 거리가 멀고 위치가 높을수록 물의 공급속도가 떨어져서 먼저 건조하게 된다. 그러므로 수거패드의 위치는 심지필터 위치, 주름필터의 설치각도 및 주름필터의 두께에 따라 결정하는 것이 효율적일 것이다.In addition, the drying of the collection pad is a phenomenon that occurs when the evaporation rate of water is greater than the supply rate of water even when the light source is not present. In the pleated filter, the water supply rate decreases as the distance from the wick filter increases and the position increases, so that the filter is dried first. Therefore, it would be efficient to determine the location of the collection pad according to the location of the wick filter, the installation angle of the pleated filter, and the thickness of the pleated filter.
상기 수거패드를 조사하는 자외선 또는 가시광선의 선택은 어떤 효과를 중시하는냐에 따라 선택될 수 있다.The selection of ultraviolet light or visible light for irradiating the collection pad may be selected depending on which effect is emphasized.
상기 자외선 또는 가시광선을 조사할 수 있는 LED와 램프의 선택은 각각의 특장점에 따라 선택될 수 있지만, LED가 부피, 간편성, 사용수명, 소비전력 등에서 장점을 갖고 있다.The selection of LEDs and lamps capable of irradiating ultraviolet rays or visible rays may be selected according to each feature, but LEDs have advantages in volume, simplicity, service life, power consumption, and the like.
또 한편으로, 도 8은 본 발명에 의한 가습 공기정화기의 오염 정화필터에 따른 케이스의 또 다른 실시 예시도로서, 상기 케이스는 상하 분해 조립되는 내부케이스(130A)와 외부케이스(130B)로 구비하되, 상기 내부케이스(130A) 및 외부케이스(130B)는 몸체 안쪽으로 공간을 가지며 일정 길이 폭으로 형성되어 각 내측으로 다수개의 연결살(130A-1)(130B-1)을 갖도록 형성되며, 상기 내부케이스(130A) 및 외부케이스(130B)의 결합시에 상호 연결살은 상하 마주하는 복층 구조로서, 상하 마주하는 연결살이 상호 어긋나도록 구성할 수도 있다.On the other hand, Figure 8 is another embodiment of a case according to the pollution purification filter of the humidifying air purifier according to the present invention, the case is provided with an inner case 130A and an outer case 130B that are disassembled and assembled up and down , The inner case (130A) and the outer case (130B) have a space inside the body and are formed to have a certain length and width, and are formed to have a plurality of connecting teeth (130A-1) (130B-1) each inside, the inner case When the case 130A and the outer case 130B are coupled, the interconnection ribs have a multi-layer structure facing up and down, and the interconnection ribs facing each other may be misaligned.
상기 내부케이스 연결살(130A-1)에 주름필터를 걸쳐서 임의로 골과 산을 형성시킨 후 외부케이스(130B)를 내부케이스에 조립할 수 있다.The outer case 130B may be assembled to the inner case after arbitrarily forming valleys and hills by crossing the pleat filter over the inner case connection ribs 130A-1.
상기 내부케이스(130A)와 외부케이스(130B)는 제작하기 힘든 주름필터를 분해와 조립이 용이한 구조로 개선하여 주름필터의 제작 및 세척 재사용이 용이할 수 있다.The inner case 130A and the outer case 130B improve the pleated filter, which is difficult to manufacture, into a structure that is easy to disassemble and assemble, so that the pleated filter can be easily manufactured and cleaned and reused.
이하, 본 발명의 의한 가습 공기정화기에 따른 작용 및 효과를 설명하면 다음과 같다. 이하 설명은 상기 구조 설명에 따른다.Hereinafter, the actions and effects of the humidifying air purifier according to the present invention will be described. The following description follows the above structural description.
주름필터를 이용한 오염공기의 정화과정을 간략히 설명해 본다. 송풍기가 가동되어 오염공기가 유입되면, 오염공기는 물에 젖은 주름필터(133)의 그물망에 통과하면서, 오염물질이 그물망의 물에 흡착한다.Briefly explain the purification process of polluted air using a pleated filter. When the blower is operated and polluted air is introduced, the polluted air passes through the water-soaked mesh of the pleated filter 133, and the contaminants are adsorbed to the water of the mesh.
이때 중요한 것은 오염물질의 제거효율을 높이기 위해서는 필터의 기공이 미세할수록 좋지만 풍량은 급격히 줄어들고, 풍량을 높이기 위하여 풍속을 올리려면 고풍압/고소음팬을 사용해야 하는 문제점이 발생한다.At this time, the important thing is that in order to increase the removal efficiency of pollutants, the finer the pores of the filter, the better, but the air volume is rapidly reduced.
이런 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 여과면적을 늘릴 수 있는 주름필터로 해결하고자 하였다.In order to solve this problem, we tried to solve it with a pleated filter that can increase the filtration area.
또한, 중요한 것은 그물망의 기공에 물막이 형성이 되는 것을 방지하면서 그물망의 필터에만 물이 코팅되는 것이다. 그물망에 물이 과량으로 공급되면, 기공에 물막 형성으로 기공이 막히게 되고, 소량공급되면 필터가 건조해져서 오염물질의 흡착효율이 급격하게 떨어진다. In addition, what is important is that only the filter of the mesh is coated with water while preventing the formation of a water film in the pores of the mesh. If an excessive amount of water is supplied to the net, the pores are clogged due to the formation of a water film in the pores, and if a small amount is supplied, the filter dries out and the adsorption efficiency of contaminants drops sharply.
즉, 기공에 물막이 형성되면, 물방울이 비산되고, 여과효율이 극도로 저하되고, 고풍압/고소음 송풍기가 필요하다. 따라서 본 발명에서는 기공에 물막 형성을 방지하고, 그물망의 필터에만 물이 코팅될 수 있게 하는 기술에 중점을 두고 있다.That is, when a water film is formed in the pores, water droplets are scattered, the filtration efficiency is extremely reduced, and a high-pressure/high-noise blower is required. Therefore, in the present invention, the focus is on a technology that prevents the formation of a water film in the pores and allows water to be coated only on the filter of the mesh.
또한, 본 발명에서는 오염물질을 주름필터에서 수거하여 주름필터를 최대한 깨끗한 상태로 유지하고, 주름필터를 용이하게 교체 또는 세척 후 사용할 수 있도록 하였다. In addition, in the present invention, contaminants are collected from the pleated filter to keep the pleated filter as clean as possible, and the pleated filter can be easily replaced or washed and used.
본 발명의 물의 이동 경로는 다른 발명에 비하여 확실한 차이를 가지고 있어, 물의 흐름을 간략히 설명해 본다. 급수조의 물은 심지필터의 모세관 현상으로 주름필터로 이동하며, 주름필터에서 모세관 현상이나 중력에 의하여 이동하면서 오염공기를 정화한 후에, 오염물질을 함유한 물은 건조시작지점에 도달하게 된다. 건조시작지점에 도달한 오염물질을 함유한 물은 증발하게 되고, 물에 함유되어 이동해온 오염물질은 건조시작지점에 잔류하여 고착된다. The water movement path of the present invention has a clear difference compared to other inventions, so the flow of water will be briefly described. The water in the water supply tank moves to the pleated filter by the capillarity of the wick filter, and after purifying the polluted air while moving in the pleat filter by capillary action or gravity, the water containing contaminants reaches the drying start point. The water containing contaminants that has reached the drying start point evaporates, and the contaminants contained in the water and transported remain at the drying start point and are fixed.
건조시작지점은 물의 공급속도와 물의 증발속도가 같은 지점으로, 시간이 지나면 변하게 된다. 시간이 흘러 급수조의 수위가 낮아지면 건조시작지점은 심지필터 쪽으로 이동하며 오염물질이 농축되어 오염물질고착존이 형성된다.The drying start point is the point at which the supply rate of water and the rate of evaporation of water are the same, and it changes over time. As time passes and the water level in the water supply tank decreases, the drying start point moves toward the wick filter, contaminants are concentrated, and contaminant fixation zones are formed.
특이한 것은, 급수조의 물을 보충하거나 팬의 풍속을 낮추면 오염물질 고착존이 심지필터 반대쪽으로 이동하는 가변성을 가지고 있다.What is unusual is that when the water in the water supply tank is replenished or the wind speed of the fan is lowered, the contaminant fixation zone has the variability of moving to the opposite side of the wick filter.
즉, 급수조의 수위 변화와 팬의 풍속 변화가 지속 되면, 오염물질 고착존이 심지필터 반대쪽으로 계속 밀려 올려가게 되어 수거패드(150)에 계속 오염물질이 농축되어 고착하게 된다.That is, when the change in the water level of the water supply tank and the change in wind speed of the fan continue, the contaminant fixing zone is continuously pushed up to the opposite side of the wick filter, so that the contaminant is continuously concentrated and adhered to the collection pad 150.
건조시작지점에서 물의 증발은, 주름필터에서 오염물질을 건조시작지점으로 이동시키는 직접적인 동력을 제공하고 있어, 주름필터의 사용수명과 여과 품질에 영향을 미치고 있는 중요요소이다. 또한, 건조시작지점에서 물이 증발하기 때문에 배수조를 구비하지 않아도 되고, 누수가 발생하지 않는 장점이 있으며, 본체 밖으로 배출되는 폐수가 발생하지 않는 이점이 있다.Evaporation of water at the drying start point provides direct power to move contaminants from the pleat filter to the drying start point, and is an important factor affecting the lifespan and filtration quality of the pleat filter. In addition, since water evaporates at the drying start point, there is an advantage in that a drainage tank is not required, no leakage occurs, and no wastewater discharged outside the main body.
이상과 같이 본 발명은 물을 본체 외부로 배출되지 않고, 주름필터에 흡착된 미세먼지 제거효율을 높이고, 기기의 전도나 휴대 시 물의 누출을 최소화하고, 급수조의 위치를 하부로 배치하여 기기의 무게 중심을 낮추었으며, 기기 내부에 빠른 물기 제거와 살균으로 미생물 증식을 억제하고, 소형화로 휴대도 가능하며, 대형화도 용이한 가습 공기정화기를 제공하는 것이다.As described above, the present invention does not discharge water to the outside of the main body, increases the efficiency of removing fine dust adsorbed to the pleat filter, minimizes water leakage when carrying or carrying the device, and places the water supply tank at the bottom so that the weight of the device is reduced. An object of the present invention is to provide a humidifying air purifier that has a lowered center of gravity, suppresses the proliferation of microorganisms through rapid water removal and sterilization inside the device, is portable due to its compact size, and is easy to enlarge.
본 발명은 이상에서 살펴본 바와 같이 바람직한 실시예를 들어 도시하고 설명하였으나, 상기한 실시 예에 한정되지 아니하며 본 발명의 정신을 벗어나지 않는 범위 내에서 당해 발명이 속하는 기술분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자에 의해 본 발명의 기술사상과 아래에 기재될 특허청구범위의 균등범위 내에서 다양한 수정 및 변형이 가능함은 물론이다.Although the present invention has been shown and described with preferred embodiments as described above, it is not limited to the above embodiments, and to those skilled in the art within the scope of not departing from the spirit of the present invention Of course, various modifications and variations are possible within the technical spirit of the present invention and the equivalent scope of the claims to be described below.
