Abstract

The present invention relates to an air cleaner capable of quickly cleaning air in a larger area in an improved air circulation construction in which a body of an air cleaner is formed in a cylindrical shape, and air is sucked through an entire surface of a cylindrical body, and the sucked air is passed through a cylindrical filter and a cleaning unit, and the cleaned air is discharged in an upward direction, and in addition it is possible to prevent inlet air and outlet air from being mixed each other for thereby achieving an effective cleaning operation.

Claims

1. An air cleaner, comprising:

a cylindrical body fixed to a bottom circular disc wherein an entire appearance of the same is formed of a grill part;

a filter unit including a non-woven fabric filter provided in an inner side of the grill part of the cylindrical body, and a cylindrical filer cartridge having a cylindrical wrinkle filter in an inner side;

an air inlet guide installed in the interior of the filter unit and having an air inlet part in a lower side wherein an upper side of the same is wide, and a lower side of the same is narrow like a reverse conical shape;

an air supply unit assembly including a support circular disc having an air hole and a protrusion part at a center for covering the upper sides of the cylindrical body, the filter unit and the air inlet guide, a motor fixed to the protrusion part of the support circular disc, a fan fixed to a rotary axis of the motor, and a fan housing having an air discharge hole formed along a rim of an upper side surface, while surrounding the fan;

a top housing assembled to an upper side surface of the air supply unit assembly and having a controller with an operation knob in an upper side surface, and a handle wherein a rotation discharge guide part corresponding to the air discharge hole is formed along the rim; and

an electronic circuit substrate provided between an upper side of the air supply unit assembly and a lower surface of the top housing.

2. The cleaner of claim 1, wherein said air supply unit assembly includes a plurality of electric heaters in an inner side of the air discharge hole.

3. The cleaner of claim 1, wherein said air supply unit assembly includes a sensor cover part extended in a lower direction of one side wherein a dust density detection sensor is provided in the interior of the sensor cover part.

4. The cleaner of claim 1, wherein in said air supply unit assembly, a sensor hole is formed in one side of the fan housing, and a gas density detection sensor and a temperature detection sensor are provided in the inner side of the fan housing.

5. The cleaner of claim 1, wherein said air supply unit assembly includes an air guide member capable of guiding the air flowing from the air hole to the air discharge hole in the upper direction, not the bottom.

6. The cleaner of claim 1, wherein said air supply unit assembly includes a ultraviolet ray sterilizer having a pair of ultraviolet ray lamps on the bottom of the support circular disc.

7. The cleaner of claim 1, wherein said air inlet part of the air inlet guide comprises a radial wing part for guiding the flow of air to turbulence flow.

8. The cleaner of claim 1, wherein said filter cartridge of the filter unit comprises a wrinkle filter, and a carbon filter being adherent to the inner surface of the wrinkle filter.

9. The cleaner of claim 1, wherein said filter cartridge of the filter unit includes a wrinkle filter, a carbon filter being adherent to the inner surface of the wrinkle filter, and a nano silver filter being adherent to the inner surface of the carbon filter.

10. The cleaner of claim 1, wherein said top housing includes an ion generator therein, wherein a discharge hose connected to the ion generator is exposed from one side of the controller to the outside.
