Abstract
An air cleaner may include a housing including a first housing having a discharge outlet through which air is discharged outside of the air cleaner, and a second housing including a suction inlet through which air is suctioned from outside of the air cleaner, and a filter assembly accommodated inside of the housing and that filters air. The first housing and the second housing may be spaced apart from each other, and the filter assembly may be replaceable through a space between the first housing and the second housing.
Claims21
An air cleaner, comprising:
- a housing including a suction inlet through which air is suctioned from outside of the air cleaner and a discharge outlet through which air is discharged outside of the air cleaner;
- a flow converter disposed on a top surface of the housing that changes a flow direction of air;
- a guide that guides a direction of the flow converter;
- a sterilizer that sterilizes air suctioned into the air cleaner;
- a filter assembly that filters the air suctioned into the air cleaner;
- a blower that blows air;
- a dust sensor assembly that senses an amount of dust contained in the air suctioned into the air cleaner;
- a battery that supplies power;
- a frame disposed inside of the housing that accommodates the sterilizer, the filter assembly, the blower, the dust sensor assembly, and the battery therein;
- and
- an inner housing interposed between the housing and the frame, wherein a first portion of the inner housing is fixed to the housing, and a second portion thereof is slidably coupled to the frame, and wherein the frame is configured to move in the housing in a first direction to be closer to the flow converter or in a second direction away from the flow converter by sliding of the inner housing.
