Abstract
An air flow controller for an air cleaner and an air cleaner are provided. The air flow controller may include a fan, and a housing, the fan being provided in the housing and the housing being movable from an initial horizontal position in which the air flow controller directs air flow in a vertical direction to an inclined position in which the air flow controller directs air flow in a diagonal direction.
Claims20
An air cleaner, comprising:
- a first fan;
- a discharge guide that discharges air passing through the first fan, the discharge guide including a discharge grill having a concave shape in a downward direction;
- and
- an air flow controller configured to adjust a direction of air discharged from the discharge guide and being movable, the air flow controller including an introduction grill into which the air discharged from the discharge guide is introduced and having a convex shape in the downward direction, wherein:
- when the air flow controller is in a first position of a laid-out state, the introduction grill is seated on an upper surface of the discharge grill, and
- when the air flow controller moves from the first position to a second position of an inclined erected state, the introduction grill is spaced apart from the upper surface of the discharge grill.
