Abstract
Provided is an air purifier capable of increased air purification properties due to charged particles being blown out. A first air-blower blasts air, thus drawing air in from the outside to a first air-flow path, and an air-purification unit purifies the air and blows out same. A second air blower blasts air, thus drawing air in from the outside to a second air-flow path, and the air is blown out together with charged particles generated by a charged particle generator. A control unit controls the amount of air blasted by the second air-blower, according to the amount of air blasted by the first air-blower. Alternatively, the control unit controls the angle to be adjusted by the regulator, according to the amount of air blasted by the first air-blower.
Claims20
An air purifier comprising:
- a first air blower taking air from outside into the air purifier;
- a first airflow path through which the air taken in by the first air blower passes and which blows out the air to outside;
- an air cleaning unit cleaning the air passing through the first airflow path;
- a second air blower taking air from outside into the air purifier;
- a second airflow path through which the air taken in by the second air blower passes and which blows out the air passed through the second airflow path in a direction different from the direction in which the air is blown out from the first airflow path;
- a charged particle generator generating charged particles in the air passing through the second airflow path;
- and
- a control mechanism controlling an amount or angle of the air blown by the second air blower in accordance with the amount of the air blown by the first air blower,
- wherein the control mechanism includes:
- a regulator regulating an angle in a vertical direction of the air blown out from the second airflow path, and
- a second control unit controlling operation of each of the first air blower and the regulator, the second control unit controlling an angle to be regulated by the regulator in accordance with the amount of the air blown by the first air blower.
An air purifier comprising:
- a first air blower taking air from outside into the air purifier;
- a first airflow path through which the air taken in by the first air blower passes and which blows out the air to outside;
- an air cleaning unit cleaning the air passing through the first airflow path;
- a second air blower taking air from outside into the air purifier;
- a second airflow path through which the air taken in by the second air blower passes and which blows out the air passed through the second airflow path in a direction different from the direction in which the air is blown out from the first airflow path;
- a charged particle generator generating charged particles in the air passing through the second airflow path;
- and
- a control mechanism controlling an amount or angle of the air blown by the second air blower in accordance with the amount of the air blown by the first air blower,
- wherein
- the control mechanism includes a first control unit controlling the amount of the air blown by each of the first air blower and the second air blower, the first control unit controlling the amount of the air blown by the second air blower in accordance with the amount of the air blown by the first air blower.
