  • Publication number: 20240219061
    Abstract: An air purifier includes: a body having an inlet introducing air; a blower accommodated in the body and providing blowing force for flow of air; a filter filtering the air introduced into the body; a wind direction control unit adjusting a filtered air discharging direction; a manipulation module for outputting a signal manipulated by user; and a control device controlling the wind direction control unit based on the signal. The wind direction control unit includes: a wind direction control member rotating about the body about an axis extending horizontally; a motor providing driving force for rotating the wind direction control member; a driving gear rotated by the driving force of the motor; and a driven gear rotated by the driving gear. The control device controls the motor so that when the driving gear is rotated and then stopped, the driving gear is stopped after reversely rotated by a predetermined angle.

  • Publication number: 20230381702
    Abstract: An air purifier includes a filter member for filtering pollutants in the air, a blower for providing blowing force to allow the air to pass through the filter member, a body frame accommodating the blower, a cover frame that forms a part of an appearance of the air purifier and is detachably coupled to the body frame, and a filter frame that is detachably coupled to the cover frame and detachably supports at least a portion of the filter member. When the filter frame is coupled to the cover frame, the filter member is positioned between the cover frame and the filter frame so that movement of the filter member is restricted, and when the cover frame is attached to and detached from the body frame, the filter member and the filter frame are attached and detached together with the cover frame.

  • Publication number: 20230266025
    Abstract: A composite filter includes a filter unit including a filter member having filtering parts, at least one filter module arranged in parallel with at least one of the filtering parts, and a bracket supporting the filtering parts disposed adjacent to each other and the filter module so that the filtering parts disposed adjacent to each other are rotatable. The bracket includes a folded portion that is selectively folded according to the relative rotation of the filtering parts, and attachment portions connected to the folded portion with the folded portion interposed therebetween, and attached to the side surfaces of the filtering parts disposed adjacent to each other. The folded portion and the attachment portions are provided integrally and are formed of a flexible material, and the attachment portion extend to the side surface of the filter module adjacent thereto to seal a gap between the filtering part and the filter module.
