  • Patent number: 11958009
    Abstract: A filter device for ambient air filtration has a blower housing with air inlet and air outlet. A device for generating an air flow is arranged in the blower housing and generates an air flow in operation from air inlet to air outlet. A flexible air conducting hose is provided with a first open end connected to the air outlet of the blower housing and with a second closed end. The flexible air conducting hose has openings arranged between first open end and second closed end. Filter elements are arranged in the openings, respectively. The filter elements separate a raw side inside the air conducting hose from a clean side downstream of the filter element. The air conducting hose is inflated in operation of the device by the air flow. The flexible air conducting hose has a reduced air permeability compared to the air permeability of the filter elements.

  • Patent number: 11781765
    Abstract: The application provides an air purifier comprising a shell assembly having air inlets and air outlets, and a filter assembly, an air inflow guide assembly, a fan and a diffusion air outflow assembly sequentially arranged from back to front. The filter assembly can purify air entering the filter assembly via the air inlets and flowing through the filter assembly. The air inflow guide assembly defines a guide channel between the filter assembly and the fan. The fan generates an air flow that flows into a first receiving cavity via the air inlets and sequentially flows through each assembly. The diffusion air outflow assembly can rotate to guide the air flow to the air outlets, enable the air flow to diffuse outwards and decrease the flow velocity of the air flow. The air purifier expands the purification range of the air purifier and improves the purification effect of the air purifier.
