Abstract
An air cleaner is provided that may include a main body having at least one cylindrical filter and at least one filter frame that forms a mounting space for the at least one filter; and a cylindrical case coupled to an outside of the main body, the cylindrical case having at least one suction inlet through which air is suctioned toward the at least one filter, so that air may be suctioned in 360-degree directions. If the cylindrical case is opened, the at least one filter may be extracted to the outside in a radial direction from the mounting space, thereby facilitating attachment/detachment of the at least one filter.
Claims17
An air cleaner, comprising:
- a main body including a cylindrical filter and a fan housing in which a fan is accommodated, the fan being provided at an outlet side of the cylindrical filter;
- a cylindrical case surrounding the main body, the cylindrical case including:
- a first part configured to cover a portion of a circumferential surface of the fan housing and the cylindrical filter;
- a second part being configured to cover another portion of the circumferential surface of the fan housing and the cylindrical filter;
- and
- a separation portion formed at side end portions of the first part and the second part to be at a position where the first part and the second part are assembled or disassembled;
- and
- a base placed on a ground and supporting a case support, the base being provided under the cylindrical case, wherein the case support supports lower portions of the first part and the second part, wherein when the first part and the second part cover the main body, the side ends of the first part and the side ends of the second part are disposed to face with each other at the separation portion, when an upper portion of at least one of the first part or the second part is pulled out of the main body, at least one of the first part or the second part rotates so as to be separated from the separation portion, and wherein the first part and the second part having a same shape are respectively rotated in an opposite direction to each other with respect to the case support so as to be separated.
