The base body 110 includes: a lower body 130 for forming a shape, with a suction port 111 formed on the lower side; an upper body 120 for forming a shape, combined with the upper side of the lower body 130 .

The filter assembly 10 is detachably assembled on the base 110 .

The filter assembly 10 provides a filter flow path 102, and filters the external air. The filter assembly 10 has a structure that can be attached and detached in a horizontal direction relative to the base 110 . The filter unit 10 is arranged so as to intersect the flow direction of the air that flows upstream in the vertical direction. The filter assembly 10 slides in the horizontal direction and filters the air flowing upward in the vertical direction. The filter assembly 10 is arranged horizontally, and a filter flow path 102 is formed along the vertical direction.

The filter assembly 10 can slide horizontally relative to the base 110 .

One side of the filter case 12 is opened in a direction intersecting with the filtering channel 102 . The filter 14 may be detachably coupled through the open face of the filter housing 12 . The opening of the filter case 12 is formed facing the side direction. The opening surface of the filter case 12 is disposed on the outer surface of the lower body 130 . Thus, the filter 14 is inserted through the side of the lower body 130 and located inside the filter housing 12 . The filter 14 is arranged to intersect with the filter flow path 102 , and filters the air passing through the filter flow path 102 .

The filter 14 may be an electric dust collection filter that traps impurities in the air by electrifying the applied power. The filter 14 may be formed of a material that traps impurities in the air through a filter member. Various structures can be configured in the filter 14 . The protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the filtering method of the filter 14 or the filtering components of the filter.

The filter flow path 102 is arranged in the same direction as the main flow direction of the humidification and purification device. In this embodiment, the filter flow path 102 is arranged along the vertical direction, and makes the air flow in the opposite direction of gravity. That is, the main flow direction of the humidifying and purifying device is formed from the lower side to the upper side.

A blower unit 20 is disposed on the upper side of the filter case 12 .

The upper side of the filter case 12 is formed in an open state, and the air passing through the filter flow path 102 flows toward the blower unit 20 .

The blower unit 20 generates a flow of air. The air blowing unit 20 is arranged inside the base body 110 to make air flow from the lower side to the upper side.

The blower unit 20 is composed of a blower fan housing 150 , a blower motor 22 and a blower fan 24 . In this embodiment, the blower motor 22 is arranged on the upper side, and the blower fan 24 is arranged on the lower side. The blower motor 22 is installed with its motor shaft facing downward, and assembled with the blower fan 24 .

The blower fan casing 150 is disposed inside the base body 110 . The blower fan case 150 provides a flow path for flowing air. The blower motor 22 and the blower fan 24 are arranged in the blower fan case 150 .

The blower fan case 150 is arranged on the upper side of the filter assembly 10 and on the lower side of the upper body 120 .

The blower fan case 150 forms a blower flow path 108 inside. The blower fan 24 is arranged in the blower flow path 108 . The air supply flow path 108 connects the filter flow path 102 and the cleaning connection flow path 104 .

The blower fan 24 is a centrifugal fan that sucks in air from the lower side and then discharges the air radially outward. The blower fan 24 discharges air radially outward and upward. The outer end of the blower fan 24 is formed radially upward.

The blower motor 22 is arranged above the blower fan 24 in order to minimize the contact with the flowing air. The blower motor 22 is provided so as to be covered by a blower fan 24 . The blower motor 22 is not located on the air flow path by the blower fan 24 , and does not generate resistance to the air flowing by the blower fan 24 .

The upper body 120 includes: an upper outer body 128 (upper outer body), used to form the shape of the base body 110, combined with the lower body 130; an upper inner body 140 (upper inner body), configured on the upper outer body 128 The water tank 300 is inserted into the upper inner body 140, and the upper inner body 140 provides the connecting flow path 103; the air guide 170 (air guide) combines the upper inner body 140 and the upper outer body 128 , used to guide the air to the water tank 300 .

Since the upper body 120 separates the connection flow path from the water tank insertion space, the water in the water tank 300 can be minimized to flow into the connection flow path. In particular, since the connection flow path will be located outside the space for storing water due to the division by the upper inner body, water can be suppressed from flowing into the connection flow path.

The upper side of the upper inner body 140 is formed in an open state, and the water tank 300 is inserted into the upper inner body 140 . The upper inner body 140 forms a part of the clean connection flow path 104 through which filtered air flows.

The upper inner body 140 is formed with an upper inlet 121 corresponding to the air cleaning inlet 31 . The upper inflow port 121 is not an essential structural element. It is sufficient that the upper body 120 has a shape in which the air cleaning inlet 31 is exposed to the connection flow path 103 .

The air guide 170 guides the air supplied through the clean connection channel 104 to the upper inlet 121 . The air guide 170 gathers the air rising along the outer side of the base body 110 to the inner side. The air guide 170 is used to switch the flow direction of the air flowing from the lower side to the upper side. However, when the air guide 170 changes the flow direction of the air, its angle is minimized to minimize the flow resistance of the air.

The air guide 170 is formed to cover the outer side of the upper inner body 140 by 360 degrees. The air guide 170 guides the air to the water tank 300 in all directions of 360 degrees. The air guide 170 collects the air guided along the outer side of the lower body 130 to the inner side and supplies the air to the water tank 300 . With such a configuration, the flow rate of the air supplied to the water tank 300 can be sufficiently ensured.

Therefore, the air guide 170 includes: a guide part 172 formed along the flow direction of the air; and a conversion part 174 connected to the guide part 172 to convert the flow direction of the guided air.

The air guide 170 forms the connecting flow path 103 .

The guide portion 172 is formed along substantially the same direction as the filtration channel 102 , and in this embodiment, the guide portion 172 is formed along the vertical direction. The conversion portion 174 is formed along a direction intersecting with the filtration channel 102 , and in this embodiment, the conversion portion 174 is formed along a substantially horizontal direction.

The conversion part 174 is formed on the upper side of the air guide 170 . The conversion portion 174 is preferably connected to the guide portion 172 through a curved surface structure.

Even if the switching portion 174 is formed in the horizontal direction, the air passing through the connection flow path 103 flows in a substantially inclined upward direction. The flow resistance of air can be reduced by forming the connection angle between the connecting flow path 103 and the filtering flow path 102 so as to be close to the straight forward direction.

A lower end of the guide portion 172 is fixed on the upper outer body 128 . An upper end of the conversion portion 174 is fixed to the upper inner body 140 .

A part of the cleaning connection flow path 104 is formed outside the upper inner body 140 . The air guide 170 forms a part of the clean connection flow path 104 . The air passing through the cleaning connection channel 104 flows into the water tank 300 through the upper inflow port 121 and the air cleaning inflow port 31 .

The upper inner body 140 forms a basket shape as a whole. The plane section of the upper inner body 140 is formed in a circle, and the cleaning connection channel 104 is formed in all directions of 360 degrees.

The air guide 170 is a structure for guiding the filtered air to the clean connection channel 104 , and the air guide 170 may not be included according to an embodiment. The air guide 170 is used in conjunction with the upper inner body 140 or the upper outer body 128 .

The air guide 170 is formed to cover the upper inner body 140 . In particular, the air guide 170 is formed to cover the upper inlet 121 for guiding filtered air to the upper inlet 121 . When viewed from above, the air guide 170 is in the shape of a donut.

In this embodiment, the upper end of the air guide 170 is closely attached to the upper end of the upper inner body 140 .

Viewed from a top view, the upper side of the air guide 170 is consistent with the upper side of the upper inner body 140 . In this embodiment, an upper inner body ring 126 (upper inner body ring) combined with or closely attached to the air guide 170 is formed on the upper end of the upper inner body 140 .

An inner body extension 148 connecting the upper inner body 140 and the upper inner body ring 126 is formed. A plurality of inner body extensions 148 are arranged. An upper inlet 121 is formed between the inner body extension 148 and the upper inner body ring 126 .

The inner body extension 148 is formed corresponding to the bridging portion 380 (bridge). When the water tank 300 is placed, the bridging portion 380 is located inside the extension portion 148 of the inner body. The inner body extension 148 and bridging portion 380 overlap each other internally and externally.

The upper end of the air guiding member 170 is closely attached to or combined with the upper inner body ring 126 . The lower end of the air guide 170 is in close contact with or combined with the upper outer body 128 .

Thus, the air flowing through the clean connection channel 104 between the upper inner body 140 and the upper outer body 128 is guided to the upper inflow port 121 .

The diameter of the upper inner body ring 126 is consistent or similar to the diameter of the upper end of the air guide 170 . The air guide 170 fits snugly against the upper inner body ring 126 to prevent leakage of filtered air. The upper inner body ring 126 is disposed inside the air guide 170 .

A handle 129 may be formed on the upper outer body 128 . The air cleaning module 200 is placed on the upper body 120 , and the entire humidifying and purifying device can be lifted by the handle 129 .

The upper inner body 140 is formed with a water tank insertion space 125 inside to be able to insert the water supply tank 300 .

Based on the upper inflow port 121, the cleaning connection flow path 104 is arranged on the outside, and the water tank insertion space 125 is arranged on the inside. The air flowing along the clean connection channel 104 will pass through the upper inlet 121 . When the water tank 300 is placed in the water tank insertion space 125 , the filtered air passing through the upper inlet 121 will flow into the water tank 300 .

In addition, an outer visible body 214 is combined on an upper side of the upper body 120 .

The outer visible body 214 is the structure of the visible body 210 , but is fixed on the upper body 120 in this embodiment.

The water level display part is configured on the top cover assembly 230 . The detachable power supply structure of the top connector 270 and the base connector 260 can effectively constitute an upper water supply.

The sink 300 is detachably placed on the upper body 120 . The watering unit 400 is disposed inside the water tank 300 and rotates inside the water tank 300 .

The water tank 300 includes: a water tank main body 320 for storing water; an air cleaning inlet 31 formed on the side of the water tank main body 320; The visual body 210 is combined.

In this embodiment, the tank main body 320 is formed in a cylindrical shape with an open upper side. Different from the present embodiment, the sink body 320 may be formed in various shapes.

And, different from the present embodiment, the air cleaning inlet 31 can also be formed by arranging a part of the plurality of bridging parts 380 in the sink 300 and the rest of the plurality of bridging parts 380 in the visible main body 210. . Also, unlike the present embodiment, the air washing inlet 31 may be formed as a separate structure from the visible main body 210 and the water tank 300 . Furthermore, unlike the present embodiment, the air cleaning inlet 31 may be formed by forming an opening surface on the visible main body 210 , and the air cleaning inlet 31 may also be formed by forming an opening surface on the water tank 300 .

That is, the air cleaning inlet 31 may be disposed on at least one of the sink 300 or the visible body 210 . The air cleaning inlet 31 may be formed by combining the sink 300 and the visible main body 210 .

The air cleaning inlet 31 is disposed on the side of the air cleaning module 200 and connected to the humidification flow path 106 . The air cleaning inflow port 31 may communicate with or be connected to the humidification connection flow path 105 .

The watering unit 400 has a function of supplying water to the humidifying medium 50 . The watering unit 400 has the function of visualizing the humidification process. The watering unit 400 has the function of presenting a rain scene inside the air cleaning module 200 .

The watering unit 400 rotates a watering housing 800 (watering housing) to suck water inside the water tank, pumps the sucked water upward, and sprays the pumped water radially outward. The watering unit 400 includes a watering case 800 that sucks water into the watering case 800, pumps the sucked water upwards, and sprays it radially outward.

In this embodiment, the watering housing 800 is rotated to spray water. Different from the present embodiment, nozzles may be used instead of the watering housing 800 to spray water. Water may be sprayed from nozzles to supply water to the humidification medium 50, and a rain scene can be similarly presented. According to an embodiment, water may be sprayed from the nozzle and rotated.

The water sprayed from the watering housing 800 wets the humidifying medium 50 . The water sprayed from the watering case 800 may be sprayed toward at least one of the visible body 210 or the humidifying medium 50 .

Water sprayed toward the visible body 210 may present a rain scene. The water sprayed toward the humidification medium 50 is used to humidify the filtered air. It can be realized that after presenting a rain scene by spraying water toward the visible main body 210 , the water falling from the visible main body 210 can wet the humidifying medium 50 .

In this embodiment, a plurality of injection ports with different heights are arranged in the watering housing 800 . The water spouted from one jet port can form droplets on the inner surface of the visible body 210 to present a rain scene, while the water spouted from the other jet port wets the humidifying medium 50 for humidification.

The watering housing 800 sprays water toward the inner surface of the visible main body 210 , and the sprayed water flows down along the inner surface of the visible main body 210 . Liquid droplets formed in the form of water droplets are formed on the inner surface of the visible main body 210 , and the user can see the liquid droplets through the visible main body 210 .

In particular, the water falling from the visible body 210 wets the humidifying medium 50 for humidification. The humidifying medium 50 can be wetted by the water sprayed from the watering housing 800 and the water falling from the visible body.

The visible body 210 is combined with the water tank 300 and is located on the upper side of the water tank 300 . At least a part of the visible body 210 is formed of a material that can see through the interior.

A display module 160 may be disposed outside the visible body 210 . The display module 160 can be combined with one of the visible main body 210 or the upper main body 120 .

The display module 160 is arranged on the line of sight where the rain scene can be observed. In this embodiment, the display module 160 is configured on the upper body 120 .

When the air cleaning module 200 is placed, the outer surface of the visible body 210 is in close contact with the display module 160 . At least a part of the surface of the display module 160 may be formed of a light-reflecting material, or coated with a light-reflecting material.

The droplets formed on the visible body 210 will also be projected onto the surface of the display module 160 . Thus, the user can observe the movement of the droplet at the two places of the visible body 210 and the display module 160 .

The water tank 300 is formed with an air cleaning inflow port 31 for air dredging. The air cleaning inlet 31 is located between the connection flow path 103 and the humidification flow path 106 . The air cleaning inlet 31 is an outlet of the connection channel 103 and an inlet of the humidification channel 106 .

The filtered air supplied from the air cleaning module 100 flows into the air cleaning module 200 through the air cleaning inlet 31 .

The humidifying medium 50 includes: a sink humidifying medium 51 arranged at the inlet of the humidifying flow path 106 ; and a discharge humidifying medium 55 arranged at the outlet of the humidifying flow path 106 . The outlet of the humidification channel 106 and the inlet of the discharge channel 107 are connected to each other. Therefore, the discharge humidification medium 55 may also be arranged in the discharge flow path 107 .

Since the connection flow path 103, the humidification flow path 106, and the discharge flow path 107 are not formed by structures such as ducts, it is difficult to clearly distinguish their boundaries. However, when the humidification flow path 106 for achieving humidification is defined as between the tank humidification medium 51 and the discharge humidification medium 55, the connection flow path 103 and the discharge flow path 107 can be naturally defined.

The connection flow path 103 is defined as a portion between the blower fan case 150 and the tank humidification medium 51 . The discharge channel 107 is defined as a portion after the humidification medium 55 is discharged.

In this embodiment, the water tank humidifying medium 51 is arranged at the air cleaning inlet 31 of the water tank 300 .

The water tank humidifying medium 51 may be located on at least one of the same plane as the air cleaning inlet 31 , outside or inside. Since the water tank humidifying medium 51 is wetted with water for humidification, it is preferably located inside the air washing inlet 31 .

Water that falls after wetting the water tank humidifying medium 51 is preferably stored in the water tank 300 . Preferably, it is arranged so that the water that falls after wetting the water tank humidifying medium 51 does not flow to the outside of the water tank 300 .

Accordingly, the water tank humidifying medium 51 provides humidification to the filtered air passing through the air cleaning inlet 31 .

The filtered air is humidified using water that evaporates naturally from the humidifying medium 50 . The natural evaporation refers to a situation where water is evaporated without applying additional heat. As the contact with the air increases, the air flow rate increases, and the pressure in the air decreases, natural evaporation will be promoted. The natural evaporation is also called natural vaporization.

The humidifying medium 50 promotes natural evaporation of water. In this embodiment, the humidifying medium 50 is wetted with water, but not soaked in the water tank 300 .

Since the water tank 300 is separated from the water stored in the water tank 300 and arranged separately, the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 are not always wetted even if the water stored in the water tank 300 is present. That is, only when operating in the humidification mode, the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 are in a wet state, and when operating in the air cleaning mode, the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 can be kept dry. .

The water tank humidifying medium 51 covers the air cleaning inlet 31 , and the air passes through the water tank humidifying medium 51 and flows into the water tank 300 .

The discharge humidification medium 55 can be arranged at the outlet of the humidification flow path 106 or the inlet of the discharge flow path 107 .

In this embodiment, the exhaled humidifying medium 55 is configured to cover the upper part of the visible main body 210 . The exhaled humidifying medium 55 is placed on the visible main body 210 . Different from the present embodiment, the spouting humidification medium 55 may be combined with the bottom surface of the top cover assembly 230 .

The discharge humidification medium 55 covers the discharge flow path 107 , and the humidified air flows into the discharge flow path 107 after passing through the discharge humidification medium 55 .

Hereinafter, the flow of air will be described with reference to the drawings.

When the blower unit 20 is in operation, external air flows into the base body 110 through the suction flow path 101 formed on the lower side of the base body 110 . The air inhaled through the suction flow path 101 moves upward, passes through the air cleaning module 100 and the air cleaning module 200 sequentially during this process, and is discharged to the outside through the discharge flow path 107 formed on the upper side of the air cleaning module 200. .

The air sucked into the suction flow path 101 passes through the filter flow path 102 of the filter assembly 10 which filters the outside air.

The air passing through the filter flow path 102 flows to the connection flow path 103 through the blower unit 20 . The air passing through the filtering flow path 102 flows into the blowing flow path 108 .

The filtered air flows into the clean connection flow path 104 after the blowing flow path 108 is pressurized by the blower fan 24 .

The air blowing unit 20 is arranged after the filter flow path 102, and thus pressurizes the filtered air and blows it. Through the arrangement of the filter assembly 10 and the blower unit 20 in a front-rear relationship, the adhesion of impurities such as dust to the blower fan 24 can be minimized.

When the blower unit 20 is arranged before the filter flow path 102 , outside air first comes into contact with the blower fan 24 , thereby increasing the possibility of foreign matter sticking to the blower fan 24 . When the blower fan 24 is contaminated by impurities, the user needs to clean it periodically and provide a structure for cleaning the blower fan 24 .

The air blowing unit 20 of this embodiment blows the filtered air from which impurities in the air have been separated, so no additional cleaning is required.

In addition, since the air blowing unit 20 is disposed before the humidification flow path 106, it is possible to minimize moisture sticking to the surface of the blowing fan 24. In the case where humidified moisture is attached to the surface of the blower fan 24 , there is a high possibility that foreign matter sticks to the surface, moldy, etc. occur.

Since the air blowing unit 20 is arranged after the filtering flow path 102 and before the humidifying flow path 106, the pollution of the blowing air unit 20 can be minimized.

The connection flow path 103 is composed of a cleaning connection flow path 104 formed in the air cleaning module 100 and a humidification connection flow path 105 formed in the air cleaning module 200 .

When the air cleaning module 200 is placed on the upper body 120 , the cleaning connection flow path 104 is connected to the humidification connection flow path 105 . When the air cleaning module 200 is separated, the cleaning connection channel 104 and the humidification connection channel 105 are exposed to the outside.

The cleaning connection flow path 104 can be formed on the upper body 120 , and the humidification connection flow path 105 can be formed on the air cleaning module 200 .

The cleaning connection flow path 104 and the humidification connection flow path 105 may be formed in the form of pipes to form a clear flow path. In this embodiment, the connecting channels 103 are dispersedly arranged in the structure of the upper body 120 and the structure of the water tank 300 .

The connection flow path 103 may be formed by a structure such as a pipe. However, when air is supplied into the water tank 300 through a structure such as a pipe, flow resistance due to the pipe is greatly generated, and it is difficult to secure a sufficient flow rate. When the flow rate supplied to the water tank 300 is limited, it is necessary to increase the RPM of the blower fan 24, which increases power consumption and noise.

In this embodiment, the connection flow path 103 supplies air to the water tank 300 in all directions of 360 degrees, thereby ensuring a sufficient flow rate.

The filtered air passing through the blower flow path 108 flows into the cleaning connection flow path 104 formed in the upper body 120 . The cleaning connection flow path 104 of the upper body 120 is provided with an air guide 170 which minimizes a flow direction change of the filtered air and minimizes a connection angle of the flowing filtered air.

In this embodiment, the upper inner body 140 for forming the sink insertion space 125 is disposed on the upper body 120 , so the cleaning connection channel 104 is directly connected to the air cleaning inlet 31 .

Different from the present embodiment, in the case that the upper inner body 140 has a short height or no height, the outer side wall of the water tank 300 will provide the humidification connection flow path 105 . That is, in the case of only the bottom surface 141 of the upper inner body 140 without sidewalls, the outside of the sidewall of the tank 300 provides the humidification connection flow path 105, the inside of the air guide 170 provides the cleaning connection flow path 104, and The connecting channels 103 are only connected when the water tank 300 is placed on the bottom surface 141 .

In this embodiment, the filtered air of the cleaning connection flow path 104 passes through the upper inflow port 121 and the air cleaning inflow port 31 sequentially, then passes through the water tank humidification medium 51 and flows toward the humidification flow path 106 .

The humidification flow path 106 is a section for supplying moisture to filtered air. In this embodiment, the humidification flow path 106 is a flow path or space from the water tank humidification medium 51 to the discharge humidification medium 55 .

In the humidification channel 106, humidification is achieved through various paths.

First, when the filtered air passes through the water tank humidifying medium 51, the moisture in the water tank humidifying medium 51 evaporates naturally, and the moisture can be supplied to the filtered air.

Second, water can be supplied to filtered air by water droplets scattered from the watering unit 400 .

Third, humidification can be realized by using the water evaporated from the water tank 300 .

Fourth, when the filtered air passes through the discharge humidification medium 55, the water that wets the discharge humidification medium 55 evaporates naturally, and water can be supplied to the filtered air.

As described above, when the filtered air passes through the humidification flow path 106, moisture can be supplied through various paths.

In addition, the air passing through the discharge humidification medium 55 is exposed to the outside through the discharge flow path 107 .

The filtered and humidified air is discharged through the discharge channel 107 . The discharge channel 107 discharges air in all directions of 360 degrees with respect to the upper side and the oblique direction.

The visible main body 210 constituting the water tank 300 will be described.

In the present embodiment, the visible main body 210 and the water tank 300 are manufactured separately, but they may be manufactured as a whole differently from the present embodiment. The visible main body 210 may be a separate structure from the water tank 300 , or a structure included in the water tank 300 .

The visible body 210 is formed of a transparent material or a translucent material, and the user can see through the visible body 210 . The user can confirm the action state inside the water tank 300 through the visible body 210 .

The air flowing into the water tub 300 through the air cleaning inlet 31 flows upward along the visible main body 210 .

The visible body 210 forms a continuous surface with the water tank 300 and minimizes air resistance.

The above-mentioned outer visible body 214 is disposed radially outside of the visible body 210 . Different from this embodiment, the external visible body 214 can be omitted. In this embodiment, the visible body 210 can be used as an inner visible body.

In this embodiment, the visible main body 210 includes: an upper reservoir 220 disposed on the inside for temporary storage of water; a lower reservoir 240 disposed on the inner side of the upper reservoir 220 underside.

The visible main body 210 may have only one reservoir, or may have more than three reservoirs. The water stored in the reservoir moves downward under the action of gravity after being temporarily stored. The water supplied from above can be prevented from flowing rapidly downward by the reservoir. When too much water falls downward, the risk of water leakage through the air washing inlet 31 increases. In addition, when too much water falls downward, excessive water falling noise is generated on the water surface of the water tank 300 .

The upper reservoir 220 is located on the lower side of the top cover assembly 230 . The top cover assembly 230 may be placed on the upper reservoir 220 in a detachable manner.

The upper reservoir 220 is formed with an upper storage space 225 for temporarily storing water, and the lower reservoir 240 is formed with a lower storage space 245 for temporarily storing water.

The upper storage space 225 is formed by the visible body 210 , the reservoir base 223 , and the reservoir wall 222 . The lower storage space 245 is also formed by the viewing body 210 , the reservoir base 243 , and the reservoir wall 242 .

The reservoir bases 223 and 243 are formed to protrude inward from the side surface 216 of the visible body 210 .

The reservoir walls 222 and 242 are formed so as to protrude upward at the inner ends of the reservoir bases 223 and 243 .

In this embodiment, a plurality of reservoir walls 222 , 242 are formed, and reservoir openings 224 , 244 may be disposed between reservoir walls 222 , 242 .

Temporarily stored water can flow downward through the reservoir openings 224 and 244 .

In this embodiment, the reservoir openings 224 and 244 are formed in an open state facing inward. Unlike the present embodiment, the reservoir openings 224 , 244 may be formed in an open state downward, and in this case, the reservoir openings 224 , 244 are formed on the reservoir bases 223 , 243 .

The water discharged through the upper reservoir opening 224 flows downward along the side surface 216 of the visible main body 210 .

The water discharged through the lower reservoir opening 244 flows downward along the bridging portion 380 .

A handle 180 is provided on the upper reservoir 220 . The handle 180 is disposed on the upper storage space 225 . The handle 180 can be inserted into the upper storage space 225 to be hidden.

A handle fixer 182 (handle fixer) is fixed to the upper reservoir 220 , and the handle 180 is rotatably combined with the handle fixer 182 . Thus, when the user lifts the handle 180 , the entire air cleaning module 200 can be lifted. Different from this embodiment, the handle fixing member 182 may not be provided, but only the handle 180 may be provided on the visible main body 210 .

The water tank 300 is combined with the lower reservoir 240 . Also, the lower reservoir 240 allows temporarily stored water to flow through the bridging portion 380 .

In this embodiment, the bridging portion 380 performs multiple functions. The bridging part 380 is a structure combining the visible main body 210 and the sink 300 . The bridging portion 380 provides a water-fall prevention flow path that guides water falling from the upper side to the inside of the water tank 300 . The bridging portion 380 is a structure for forming the air cleaning inlet 31 .

In this embodiment, the bridging part 380 is manufactured integrally with the water tank 300 , but different from this embodiment, it can also be manufactured integrally with the visible main body 210 . Moreover, the bridging part 380 may be combined with the water tank 300 and the visible body 210 respectively after being manufactured as a separate component that is distinguished from the water tank 300 or the visible body 210 .

The bridging portion 380 guides water to the inside where the humidification flow path 106 is arranged. The bridging portion 380 is formed with a bridging space 385 inside. The bridging portion 380 includes a guide wall 386 for forming a bridging space 385 .

The bridging space 385 communicates with the lower reservoir opening 244 .

In this embodiment, the bridging space 385 is formed in an open state toward the inside of the water tank 300 , and the guide walls 386 are respectively disposed on two sides of the bridging portion 380 and cover the bridging space 385 . The guide wall 386 protrudes inwardly from a side edge of the bridging portion 380 .

The combination structure of the water tank 300 and the visible main body 210 is respectively formed on the bridging part 380 and the lower reservoir 240 . In order to combine the water tank 300 and the visible body 210 , a bridging joint 387 is formed on the bridge 380 , and a visible joint 247 is formed on the lower reservoir 240 .

In particular, a visible connection part 247 is arranged at the opening part 244 of the lower reservoir, and a bridging connection part 387 is arranged at the bridging space 385 . The bridging joint part 387 and the visible joint part 247 are fastened after being clamped and combined with each other. In this embodiment, after the bridging joint part 387 is inserted into the visible joint part 247 , the joint is completed outside the bridging part 380 .

In addition, in order to guide the water in the lower reservoir 240 to the bridging space 385 , the lower reservoir 240 further includes an insertion wall 246 inserted into the bridging space 385 .

The insertion wall 246 is connected to at least one of the reservoir base 243 or the reservoir wall 242 and protrudes downward.

The insertion walls 246 are formed on both sides of the lower insertion opening portion 244 and form the lower insertion opening portion 244 . The visible coupling portion 247 is disposed between the insertion walls 246 .

The insertion wall 246 is inserted into the bridging space 385 and is located inside the guide wall 386 . The insertion wall 246 is located between the guide walls 386 and clamped and fixed on the bridging portion 380 .

In addition, a recessed channel 249 (channel) is formed between the insertion wall 246 and the visible joint 247 . The channel 249 is formed concavely outward. The passage 249 is a structure for more easily guiding the water in the lower storage space 245 to the bridging portion 380 .

The channel 249 is formed to extend downward toward the bridging portion 380 . The groove for forming the channel 249 is formed to be concave toward the reservoir base 243 side. The channel 249 may protrude further outward than the reservoir wall 242 .

Water flowing along the reservoir wall 242 is guided along the channel 249 toward the bridging portion 380 .

In addition, the visible main body 210 is formed with a connector placing portion 212 for placing the top connector 270 . At least a portion of the top connector 270 is placed on the connector placement part 212 . The top connector 270 is located on the upper side of the connector placement part 212 , and the base connector 260 is located on the lower side of the connector placement part 212 .

When the top connector 270 is placed on the connector placement portion 212 , its horizontal movement is restricted. To this end, the visible main body 210 is formed with a connector locking portion 211 for limiting the horizontal movement of the top connector 270 . When the top connector 270 is placed, the connector locking portion 211 is in close contact with the side of the top connector 270 .

A connector opening 213 is disposed on the visible main body 210 . The connector opening 213 is formed through the visible main body 210 . The connector opening 213 is formed in an open state along the vertical direction.

The connector opening portion 213 and the connector placement portion 212 may be arranged at different positions from each other. In the present embodiment, a connector opening 213 is disposed on the connector placement portion 212 . A part of the connector placement part 212 is open and forms the connector opening part 213 .

The flow process of water passing through the visible body 210 will be described.

First, when the top cover assembly 230 performs upper water supply, the water falls to the humidification flow path 106 through the water supply flow path 109 . When the upper water supply is performed, the water overflowing from the top cover assembly 230 can flow to the upper reservoir 220 .

After the water temporarily stored in the upper reservoir 220 flows along the upper storage space 225 , it flows to the inner side of the visible body 210 through the upper reservoir opening 224 . The water flowing down along the inner surface 216 of the viewing body 210 is temporarily stored in the lower reservoir 240 .

After the water stored in the lower reservoir 240 flows along the lower storage space 245 , it flows toward the bridging portion 380 through the lower reservoir opening 244 . The water flowing into the bridging portion 380 is stored in the water tank 300 after flowing down along the bridging space 385 .

As mentioned above, the upper reservoir 220 , the side surface 216 of the visible main body 210 , the lower reservoir 240 , and the bridging portion 380 provide a water-fall prevention flow path for water to flow down. The anti-dripping flow path is a structure for preventing water from directly falling to the water surface of the water tank 300 .

The upper reservoir 220 , the side surface 216 of the visible body 210 , the lower reservoir 240 , and the bridging portion 380 for constituting the water-fall prevention flow path continuously guide water.

In particular, the lower reservoir 240 located above the air cleaning inlet 31 prevents water from falling toward the air cleaning inlet 31 , thereby blocking water leakage through the air cleaning inlet 31 .

The water in the lower reservoir 240 is dispersed by the plurality of bridging parts 380 and then guided to the water tank 300 . That is, even if a large amount of water falls to one side, the water can flow along the lower storage space 245 and buffer the flow, and the flow can be dispersed through the adjacent bridging portion 380 .

In particular, in order to prevent an excessive amount of water from being supplied to lower reservoir 240 , inner upper frame 1312 of water tank humidifying medium case 1300 , which will be described later, guides falling water to the inside of water tank humidifying medium case 1300 .

The water-fall prevention flow path is also arranged in the water tank humidification medium case 1300 . This will be described in the structure of water tank humidification medium case 1300 described later.

The water tank humidification medium case will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this embodiment, the casing in which the water tank humidifying medium 51 is disposed among the humidifying medium 50 is defined as the water tank humidifying medium casing 1300 .

In this embodiment, the water tank humidifying medium 51 is arranged separately from the water stored in the water tank 300 . Since the water tank humidifying medium 51 is separated from the water, it can be kept in a dry state when not in use.

When the water tank is full, the lower end of the water tank humidifying medium 51 is located at a higher position than the water level stored in the water tank 300 .

Moreover, the water tank humidification medium case 1300 in which the said water tank humidification medium 51 is installed is also arrange|positioned separately from a water phase.

In this embodiment, the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 is arranged in the water tank 300 . In particular, the water tank humidification medium case 1300 is disposed inside the air cleaning inlet 31 . In this embodiment, the water tank humidification medium casing 1300 is placed on the visible main body 210 and located inside the water tank 300 . Different from this embodiment, the water tank humidification medium casing 1300 can be installed in the water tank 300 .

The water tank humidification medium case 1300 allows the air sucked into the air washing inlet 31 to pass through. The water tank humidifying medium 51 humidifies the passing air.

The air passing through the air cleaning inlet 31 flows from the outside of the water tank 300 to the inside of the water tank 300 .

The water tank humidifying medium housing 1300 is provided with a water tank humidifying medium 51 to provide moisture to the flowing air, and in addition, covers the upper side of the water tank 300 to prevent the water in the water tank 300 from overflowing.

For example, when an external impact is applied, the water stored in the water tank 300 may overflow out of the water tank 300 . For example, when the air cleaning module 200 is separated and moved, the water of the water tank 300 may be overflowed. For example, when the base 110 is tilted, the water in the water tank 300 may overflow to the outside.

In order to prevent such a situation, the water tank humidifying medium case 1300 is closely attached to the upper edge of the water tank 300 , thereby preventing the water in the water tank 300 from overflowing out of the water tank 300 .

In this embodiment, the lower end of the water tank humidification medium casing 1300 is located inside the water tank 300 . The lower end of the water tank humidifying medium 51 is also located inside the water tank 300 .

In addition, the lower end of the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 may overlap with the upper end of the water tank 300 . The lower end of the water tank humidifying medium 51 can also be superimposed on the upper end of the water tank 300 .

The overlapping is used to prevent the water in the water tank 300 from flowing out of the air cleaning inlet 31 . The superposition makes it necessary for the air flowing into the air cleaning inlet 31 to pass through the tank humidifying medium 51 .

In this embodiment, both the upper end and the lower end of the water tank humidifying medium 51 overlap with the water tank 300 . Both the upper end and the lower end of the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 are superimposed on the water tank 300 .

When the water tank humidifying medium casing 1300 is placed on the visible body 210 , its lower end is in close contact with the upper edge of the water tank 300 . Different from the present embodiment, the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 can be fastened or combined with the upper end of the water tank 300 to completely cut off water overflow.

The upper end of the water tank humidifying medium casing 1300 is located outside the water tank 300 , and the lower end is located inside the water tank 300 . In addition, the upper end of the water tank humidifying medium 51 is located outside the water tank 300 , and the lower end is located inside the water tank 300 .

Moreover, the upper end of the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 is superimposed on the visible main body 210 , and the lower end is superimposed on the water tank 300 .

When viewed from the front, the outer shape of the water tank humidification medium case 1300 is formed in an inclined manner. The water tank humidification medium 51 is formed obliquely when viewed from the front.

The water tank humidification medium housing 1300 includes: an inner medium frame 1310 located inside the water tank humidification medium 51, supporting the water tank humidification medium 51, and forming an inner medium inlet 1311 for air to pass through; an outer medium frame 1320 located inside the water tank humidification medium 51; The outside of the water tank humidifying medium 51 supports the water tank humidifying medium 51 and forms an external medium inflow port 1321 for air to pass through; the anti-overflow cover 1330 is combined with at least one of the inner medium frame 1310 or the outer medium frame 1320 , It is closely attached to the water tank 300 to prevent the water in the water tank 300 from overflowing.

The tank humidifying medium 51 is arranged between the inner medium frame 1310 and the outer medium frame 1320 . The water tank humidification medium 51 covers the air washing inlet 31 . The water tank humidifying medium 51 may be formed in a ring shape. In this embodiment, the water tank humidifying medium 51 is formed in a funnel shape with a small cross-sectional area on the lower side and a large cross-sectional area on the upper side. The said water tank humidification medium 51 is arrange|positioned so that it may incline with respect to an up-down direction. The inclination of the water tank humidifying medium 51 is formed in consideration of the air flow direction.

The air flowing through the connection flow path 103 to the air cleaning inlet 31 forms a flow inclined upward compared to the horizontal movement. The water tank humidification medium 51 formed in an inclined manner can be arranged so as to be perpendicular to the air flow direction.

When the air flow is perpendicular to the water tank humidifying medium 51, the air can be prevented from flowing toward a specific part of the water tank humidifying medium 51, and the air can be uniformly passed over the entire area.

In order to fix the water tank humidifying medium 51 , at least one of the outer medium frame 1320 or the inner medium frame 1310 may be formed with a humidifying medium fixing unit for fixing the water tank humidifying medium 51 .

In this embodiment, the humidifying medium fixing unit is composed of protrusions and grooves.

The humidifying medium fixing unit includes: a fixing protrusion 1302 formed on one of the inner media frame 1310 or the outer media frame 1320; a fixing groove 1304 formed on the other of the inner media frame 1310 or the outer media frame 1320 On the one hand, the fixing protrusion 1302 is sandwiched in the fixing groove 1304 .

In this embodiment, the fixing protrusion 1302 is formed on the outer media frame 1320 , and the fixing groove 1304 is formed on the inner media frame 1310 . Unlike the present embodiment, the positions thereof can be arranged reversely. The tank humidifying medium 51 is disposed between the fixing protrusion 1302 and the fixing groove 1304 , and is fixed when the fixing protrusion 1302 is sandwiched in the fixing groove 1304 .

The fixing protrusion 1302 and the fixing groove 1304 prevent the tank humidifying medium 51 from moving between the inner medium frame 1310 and the outer medium frame 1320 .

In this embodiment, in order to form the fixing groove 1304 , a part of the inner media frame 1310 protrudes upward.

The fixing groove 1304 is formed in an open state on the lower side, and the fixing protrusion 1302 is formed to protrude upward.

The combination of the fixing protrusion 1302 and the fixing groove 1304 also has the effect of combining the inner media frame 1310 and the outer media frame 1320 .

An inner medium inlet 1311 through which air passes is formed in the inner medium frame 1310 . The outer medium frame 1320 is formed with an outer medium inlet 1321 through which air passes.

The inner medium inflow port 1311 and the outer medium inflow port 1321 are formed to suck air in all directions of 360 degrees. The inner medium inflow port 1311 and the outer medium inflow port 1321 may be arranged to face each other.

The inner media frame 1310 is formed with a large upper diameter and a smaller lower diameter. The outer medium frame 1320 is also formed with a large upper diameter and a smaller lower diameter. In this embodiment, the water tank humidification medium housing 1300 is formed in the shape of a funnel as a whole.

The outer media frame 1320 and the inner media frame 1310 are combined with an interference fit relative to each other. When the outer media frame 1320 and the inner media frame 1310 are interference fit, the sink humidifying media 51 will be fixed.

The anti-overflow cover 1330 covers a part of the upper side of the sink 300 to prevent water in the sink 300 from overflowing. Also, the anti-overflow cover 1330 provides a function of preventing water falling from the upper side from directly falling to the water surface of the water tank 300 .

The anti-overflow cover 1330 is assembled on the lower sides of the outer media frame 1320 and the inner media frame 1310 . The anti-overflow cover 1330 is in interference fit with at least one of the outer media frame 1320 or the inner media frame 1310 .

The upper end of the media frame assembly is placed on the visible main body 210 . Water running down the viewing body 210 may run down the media frame assembly.

The anti-overflow cover 1330 is disposed at the lower end of the media frame assembly for holding the media frame assembly. The anti-overflow cover 1330 is used to temporarily store the falling water, and guide the temporarily stored water to the inner surface of the water tank 300 . In this embodiment, the anti-overflow cover 1330 provides a part of the anti-fall flow path.

The anti-overflow cover 1330 is used to guide the falling water and minimize the noise of falling water. The anti-overflow cover 1330 may be formed to hold at least a portion of a lower end of the media frame assembly. In this embodiment, the anti-overflow cover 1330 covers the entire lower end of the media frame assembly and prevents water from falling directly to the water surface of the sink 300 .

The anti-overflow cover 1330 is formed in a ring shape when viewed from above. The upper side of the anti-overflow cover 1330 collects the water falling from the media frame assembly and guides it to the inner side of the water tank 300 . The lower side of the anti-overflow cover 1330 blocks the inner edge of the water tank 300 to cut off the water overflowing to the outside of the water tank 300 .

The inner media frame 1310 includes: an inner upper frame 1312 placed on the visible body 210; an inner vertical frame 1313 extending downward from the inner upper frame 1312 to form the inner media inlet 1311; The lower inner frame 1314 is connected with the inner vertical frame 1313 and is placed on the upper side of the anti-overflow cover 1330 .

A plurality of inner vertical frames 1313 are disposed between the inner upper frame 1312 and the inner lower frame 1314 . An inner medium inlet 1311 is formed between the inner upper frame 1312 , the inner lower frame 1314 and the inner vertical frame 1313 .

The upper side of the inner upper frame 1312 is formed facing inwardly. The inner upper frame 1312 is a guide member for guiding the water flowing along the visible body 210 inward. The inner upper frame 1312 is formed into a curved surface. The outer side of the inner upper frame 1312 can be in close contact with the side surface 216 of the visible main body 210 .

The inner upper frame 1312 is located on the upper side of the lower reservoir 240 , and guides the falling water to the inner side, thereby reducing the water flowing toward the lower reservoir 240 .

In this embodiment, the guide member formed on the upper side of the inner upper frame 1312 is formed as a curved surface, and guides the water flowing down along the visible main body 210 to the sink humidifying medium 51 .

A handle 1315 is formed on the inner vertical frame 1313 . The handle 1315 may be formed in multiples. The handle 1315 protrudes toward the inner side of the inner vertical frame 1313 . The user can lift the entire sink humidifying medium housing 1300 through the handle 1315 .

The inner upper frame 1312 is formed in a ring shape, and its inner side is open. The inner lower frame 1314 is formed in a ring shape, and its inner side is open.

In order to be placed in the lower guide groove 217 of the viewing body 210 , the inner upper frame 1312 is formed to protrude radially outward than the outer media frame 1320 .

The outer media frame 1320 has a similar structure to the inner media frame 1310 . Same as the inner media frame 1310 , the outer media frame 1320 includes: an outer media inlet 1321 , an outer upper frame 1322 , an outer vertical frame 1323 and an outer lower frame 1324 .

A storage space 1328 is formed on the outer lower frame 1324 . Falling water is temporarily stored in the storage space 1328 . The storage space 1328 is formed in a ring shape. A vertical wall is formed inside the outer lower frame 1324 to prevent water from overflowing inside. The water in the storage space 1328 flows toward the external medium guide 1325 described later.

Different from the inner media frame 1310 , the outer media frame 1320 further includes an outer media guide 1325 for connecting the outer upper frame 1322 and the outer lower frame 1324 .

The external medium guide 1325 discharges the water of the tank humidification medium 51 to the anti-overflow guide 1330 .

An outer medium guide hole 1326 is formed at a lower end of the outer medium guide 1325 to discharge the inner water to the overflow prevention guide 1330 . The outer medium guide hole 1326 forms a step difference in the radial direction. Thus, the outer medium guide hole 1326 is formed inwardly. The anti-overflow guide 1330 and the outer media guide 1325 are fitted together.

The bottom surface of the external medium guide 1325 is formed as an inclined surface 1327 . The inclined surface 1327 is formed to be higher on the inner side and lower on the outer side. Thus, the water of the external medium guide member 1325 is guided toward the external medium guide hole 1326 along the inclined surface 1327 . The outer medium guide hole 1326 is disposed at the end of the inclined surface 1327 .

In this embodiment, there are three outer medium guides 1325 . The foreign medium guides 1325 are arranged at equal intervals and radially.

The water in the storage space 1328 moves toward the external medium guide 1325 under the action of its own weight. After the water in the storage space 1328 flows along the circumferential direction, it moves toward the outer medium guide 1325 and is discharged to the anti-overflow cover 1330 through the outer medium guide hole 1326 .

Through the structure of the storage space 1328 , the external medium guide 1325 , the external medium guide hole 1326 , and the anti-overflow cover 1330 , water can be prevented from directly falling from the water tank humidifying medium housing 1300 to the water surface of the water tank 300 .

The cover hole 1336 is formed towards the inner surface of the sink 300 . The water discharged from the cover hole 1336 moves along the inner surface of the water tank 300 .

The bottom surface of the cover insertion groove 1335 is formed as an inclined surface 1337 . The inclined surface 1337 corresponds to the inclined surface 1327 of the outer medium guide 1325 .

A clamping groove 1335 a is formed in at least one of the cover insertion grooves 1335 , and a clamping portion 1325 a corresponding to the clamping groove 1335 a may be formed in the outer medium guide 1325 .

The clamping portion 1325a is formed to protrude downward, and is inserted into the clamping groove 1335a along the vertical direction. The clamping portion 1325 a and the clamping groove 1335 a may be used as a position determination unit capable of confirming a joint position of the outer medium frame 1320 and the overflow prevention cover 1330 . In the case that the clamping portion 1325a is inconsistent with the clamping groove 1335a, the outer medium frame 1320 and the anti-overflow cover 1330 cannot be assembled.

The cover 1332 can be in close contact with the inner surface of the sink 300 . The cover portion 1332 can be in close contact with the upper edge of the sink 300 .

The cover part 1332 is formed in an inclined manner. The cover portion 1332 is formed to be high on the outside and low on the inside. The inclined structure of the cover part 1332 prevents the upper water from flowing out of the cover part 1332 . The water on the upper side of the cover 1332 flows inward along the inclined structure.

The water flowing along the upper side of the cover part 1332 is guided to the storage space 1328 . Thus, the water flowing down the upper side of the cover 1332 is guided to the inner side of the water tank 300 through the storage space 1328 , the outer medium guide hole 1326 , and the cover hole 1336 . With the structure as described above, it is possible to prevent the falling water from directly falling on the water surface of the water tank 300 .

The baffle 1334 forms a receiving space 1338 together with the cover 1332 . The receiving space 1338 is formed on the lower side of the cover part 1332 . The accommodation space 1338 accommodates water surging along the inner side wall of the water tank 300 when the water in the water tank 300 is shaken, and guides it to the lower side of the water tank 300 .

The baffle 1334 includes an inner baffle 1331 and an outer baffle 1333 .
