The water tank 300 forms an inner wall of the connection flow path 103 , and the upper body 120 forms an outer wall of the connection flow path 103 .

By distributing the structure of the connection flow paths 103 in such a manner, the structures forming the flow paths can be minimized. The connection flow path 103 is formed along the vertical direction.

The air passing through the connection flow path 103 flows into the humidification flow path 106 . The humidification flow path 106 is a section for supplying moisture. In this embodiment, the humidification flow path 106 runs from the humidification medium 51 in the water tank to the discharge of the humidification medium 55 .

As the medium 51 is humidified through the water tank in the connecting flow path 103, moisture can be supplied to the air in the process. In addition, water droplets scattered from the watering unit 400 and moisture evaporated from the water tank 300 are provided inside the water tank 300 .

As the humidifying medium 55 is discharged inside the water tank 300, moisture can be supplied again during this process.

In the humidification flow path 106 , moisture is supplied through the water tank humidification medium 51 , the inside of the water tank 300 , and the discharge humidification medium 55 .

The air that has passed through the discharge humidification medium 55 is exposed to the outside through the discharge flow path 107 .

The water tank main body extension 380 guides the water flowing down from the inner surface of the visible main body 210 to the inside of the water tank 300 . By guiding the water falling from the visual body 210, falling water noise can be minimized.

The water tank main body extension 380 is combined with the lower end of the visual main body 210 . At least one of the plurality of the water tank main body extension parts 380 is provided with a water tank joint part 381 which is combined with the visible main body 210 . The water tank coupling part 381 is arranged outside the water tank main body extension part 380 . The visual main body 210 and the water tank 300 are combined by a combining member (not shown) combined with the water tank combining portion 381 .

A column body 35 is arranged on the water tank main body 320 . In this embodiment, the column body 35 is formed in a conical shape. The watering housing 800 is provided in a manner of covering the column body 35 . In this embodiment, the column body 35 and the water tank main body 320 are integrally fabricated. The column body 35 is formed so as to protrude upward on the bottom surface of the water tank main body 320 .

The water tank main body 320 has a buoy housing 330 formed therein. A buoy 332 is arranged inside the buoy housing 330 . The buoy 332 is formed of a substance with a specific gravity lighter than water, and moves in the up-down direction inside the buoy housing 330 according to the water level stored in the water tank 300 .

The buoy housing 330 is disposed on the inner side wall of the water tank main body 320 . The buoy housing 330 extends long in the up-down direction. The buoy case 330 has a structure through which the water in the water tank 300 can flow.

The lower end 331 of the buoy housing 330 is formed to protrude downward on the bottom surface of the water tank main body 320 . The space protruding to the lower side of the water tank main body 320 is defined as the buoy accommodating space 333 .

When the buoy 332 is located in the buoy accommodating space 333 , it is in a state where there is no water in the water tank 300 .

The buoy 332 is part of a water level sensor. The buoy 332 is provided with a permanent magnet 335 . The water level sensor includes a magnetic sensor 334 for detecting the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 335 . The magnetic sensor 334 is arranged on the upper body 120 .

Thus, the water level sensor can detect the water level of the water tank 300 in a non-contact manner. In particular, since the water tank 300 has a detachable structure, the water level is preferably detected in a non-contact manner. Whether the water tank 300 is placed can also be determined by using the signal detected by the water level sensor. For example, when the magnetic sensor 334 detects the permanent magnet, the control unit (not shown) can determine that the water tank 300 is placed.

The water tank base 340 includes a base board 342 protruding upward from the bottom surface, and a groove 343 into which the lower end 331 of the buoy housing 330 is inserted is formed on the base board 342 . The lower end 331 is sandwiched between the grooves 343 . The lower end 331 is exposed through the groove 343 . The lower end 331 of the buoy housing 330 exposed through the slot 343 can facilitate the detection of the magnetic sensor 334 .

In the case where the lower end 331 is covered by the substrate 342, the magnetic field signal to the permanent magnet will be reduced, which may cause false detection.

The lower end 331 is exposed through the groove 343 , so that the permanent magnet of the buoy 332 located inside the lower end 331 can be easily detected.

The said water tank main body 320 and the water tank base 340 are arrange|positioned with the structure for improving the intensity|strength of a water tank. The water tank 300 is not only used as a space for storing water, but also needs to firmly support the watering unit 400 to suppress vibrations generated in the watering unit 400 .

If the watering unit 400 cannot be sufficiently supported, the bottom surface 301 of the water tank main body 320 will deform or shake, resulting in vibration. The vibration generated in the water tank 300 will spread to the entire structure, thereby causing a bad influence on the entire humidifying and purifying device.

In order to minimize such a situation, the water tank main body 320 and the water tank base 340 are provided with structures for increasing the strength.

The bottom surface of the column body 35 formed in the water tank main body 320 is formed in an opening shape.

The cylinder 35 and the housing flange 654 are arranged on a concentric axis.

The housing flange 654 is combined with the water tank 300 by a combining member 651 . The coupling member 651 may penetrate through the housing flange 654 and be coupled with the sink body 320 .

In this embodiment, the first combining member 651 is combined with the sink base 340 , the housing flange 654 and the sink body 320 at one time. Since the first combining member 651 combines three structures at the same time, the bearing housing 650 can be more firmly fixed. Furthermore, since the first coupling member 651 combines three structures at a time, the lower strength of the water tank 300 can be improved.

In order to provide the first coupling member 651 , coupling parts 321 and 341 are formed on the water tank main body 320 and the water tank base 340 , respectively.

The combining member 655 combines the water tank main body 320 and the water tank base 340 , so as to further improve the strength of the water tank 300 .

The second combining member 655 is used to combine the water tank main body 320 and the water tank base 340 . Unlike the present embodiment, the water tank main body and the water tank base can be combined by mutual engagement based on hooks or the like instead of the combining member. In the case of mutual engagement, a small space will be formed, so it may be vulnerable to vibration. In this embodiment, in order to prevent such a situation from occurring, the water tank main body 320 and the water tank base 340 are combined by the second combining member 655 .

The second combining member 655 is combined at the lower part of the water tank base 340 , penetrates the water tank base 340 and is combined with the water tank main body 320 . A coupling portion 325 to which the second coupling member 655 is coupled is formed on the bottom surface of the water tank body 320 .

The joint portion 321 combined with the first joint member 651 is defined as the first joint portion 321, and the joint portion 325 combined with the second joint member 655 is defined as the second joint portion 325, which will be formed in the The joint portion 341 of the sink base 340 is defined as the base joint portion 341 .

The second coupling portion 325 is formed on the bottom surface of the water tank main body 320 so as to protrude downward. The second coupling portion 325 is formed in the shape of a convex column.

The second coupling portion 325 is radially arranged around the transmission shaft 640 .

Moreover, the rib for improving the strength is arrange|positioned at the said water tank main body 320 and the water tank base 340, respectively.

The rib formed in the said water tank main body 320 in order to strengthen the strength is called the main body reinforcement rib 350, and the rib formed in the water tank base 340 is called the base reinforcement 355.

The main body reinforcing rib 350 is formed on the bottom surface 301 of the water tank main body 320 . The main body reinforcing rib 350 is formed on the bottom surface of the water tank main body 320 so as to protrude downward.

The thickness of the water tank main body 320 can be minimized by the first reinforcing rib 352 and the second reinforcing rib 354, and the strength can be maintained even when the thickness is minimized.

The first reinforcing rib 352 and the second reinforcing rib 354 can minimize the transmission of the vibration of the bearing housing 650 to the radially outer side of the water tank 300 .

The first reinforcing rib 352 and the second reinforcing rib 354 can minimize the eccentricity of the watering unit 400 during operation. Since the watering unit 400 is formed to extend long in the vertical direction, the eccentricity of the upper end of the watering unit 400 can be minimized when the strength of the bottom surface 301 of the water tank 300 is strengthened.

The first gasket setting groove 363 forms a closed curve along the periphery of the base insertion opening 349 .

The first gasket setting groove 363 is formed so as to be recessed upward. When the flange support 348 is in close contact with the housing flange 654, the closure is achieved as the first gasket 361 is in close contact.

In addition, a gasket 365 is also provided between the housing flange 654 and the water tank main body 320 . The gasket 365 is located on the upper side of the housing flange 654 .

In the present embodiment, the gasket 365 is disposed on the lower side of the water tank main body 320 , and when the first coupling member 651 is coupled, it is tightly attached between the bearing housing 650 and the water tank main body 320 . The pad 365 is preferably located inside of the first coupling member 651 or the main body coupling portion 321 .

In addition, a second spacer setting groove 364 is arranged in order to install the second spacer 362 .

The second gasket setting groove 364 may be disposed on at least one of the water tank main body 320 or the water tank base 340 . In this embodiment, it is formed on the sink base 340 . The second gasket setting groove 364 is formed so as to be recessed downward.

The second gasket setting groove 364 forms a closed curve along the edge of the sink base 340 . The second gasket setting groove 364 is formed by a rib 367 protruding upward from the upper surface of the sink base 340 .

In this embodiment, the second gasket setting groove 364 is located on the upper side of the base reinforcing rib 355 . The second pad installation groove 364 is arranged above the groove 356 in which the base reinforcing rib 355 is arranged.

That is, the grooves 356 for the base rib 355 and the second spacer installation grooves 364 are arranged up and down, whereby the strength of the second spacer installation grooves 364 can also be enhanced.

The second pad setting groove 364 is formed to avoid the lower end 331 of the buoy housing 330 . The lower end 331 of the buoy housing 330 is located outside the gasket setting groove 364 .

In addition, a light-transmitting window module 390 is disposed on the bottom surface of the water tank 300 . The window module 390 transmits ultraviolet rays.

A main body opening 326 is formed in the water tank main body 320 . A base opening 346 is formed in the water tank base 340 . The base opening portion 346 is located on the lower side of the main body opening portion 326 . The main body opening portion 326 and the base opening portion 346 are arranged along the vertical direction.

In this embodiment, the window module 390 is combined with the bottom surface of the water tank main body 320 to close the main body opening 326 .

The ultraviolet module 190 for supplying ultraviolet rays to the window module 390 is disposed on the upper body 120 . The ultraviolet rays generated from the ultraviolet module 190 are projected into the water tank 300 through the window module 390 . The water stored in the water tank 300 can be sterilized by the ultraviolet rays.

Next, the flow guide 310 formed on the bottom surface of the water tank 300 will be described.

A flow guide 310 for guiding the stored water to the watering casing 800 is arranged on the bottom surface of the water tank 300 . The flow guide 310 may be integrally fabricated with the sink 300 . In this embodiment, the flow guide 310 and the water tank main body 320 are integrally formed. The flow guide 310 is formed on the bottom surface of the water tank main body 320 so as to protrude upward.

The case where there is less water stored in the water tank 300 is defined as less water. The less water is more than the minimum amount of water that can be sprayed through the watering housing 800 .

The less water may be from the height of the inner bottom surface of the water tank 300 .

When the watering housing 800 is in a stopped state, the stored water height is an amount that can be sprayed through the spray port, but after the watering housing 800 is rotated, the water height may be lower than the suction interval.

This is because the water in the center moves toward the inner side wall of the water tank 300 due to the rotation of the watering case 800 . The flow guide 310 serves to suppress such a biased weight of the water.

When the water stored in the water tank is low, the flow guide 310 can improve the suction efficiency of the watering housing 800 . The flow guide 310 provides a flow in the upward direction for the water rotating inside the water tank. And, the flow guide 310 guides the water rotating inside the water tank toward the watering housing 800 .

The flow guide 310 guides the water flowing along the inner side of the water tank 300 to the center where the watering housing 800 is located. The flow guide 310 forms a minimum separation distance (5mm) from the watering housing. The flow guide 310 has the effects of improving water-reducing efficiency, reducing noise, and reducing vibration.

The flow guide 310 is also spaced apart from the inner sidewall of the water tank main body 320 by a predetermined interval.

When the water in the water tank 300 is rotated by the watering casing 800 , the flow velocity of the water rotating at a distance close to the watering casing 800 is different from that of the water rotating along the inner wall of the water tank main body 320 .

The flow guide 310 can make the flow velocity in the water tank uniform. Therefore, when viewed from a plan view, the included angle formed by the longitudinal direction of the flow guide 310 and the outer side surface of the watering housing 800 is formed within 90 degrees.

The flow guide 310 includes a first inclined surface 312 and a second inclined surface 314 .

The first inclined surface 312 is formed along the flow direction of water. The rotating water is received by the first inclined surface 312 . The swirling water rises upward along the first inclined surface 312 . The first inclined surface 312 guides the water rotating along the inner edge of the water tank 300 to the watering housing 800 side.

The second inclined surface 314 is formed in the opposite direction to the first inclined surface 312 . A boundary 315 over which water can cross may be formed between the first inclined surface 312 and the second inclined surface 314 . When viewed from a plan view, in this embodiment, the boundary 315 may be disposed along a direction that forms a tangent to the surface of the watering housing 800 .

Using only one of the flow guides 310 can also exert its effect. In this embodiment, there are two flow guides 310 .

Next, the watering unit 400 arranged inside the water tank 300 will be described.

The watering unit 400 rotates the watering case 800 disposed inside the water tank 300 , and by the rotation of the watering case 800 , the water stored in the water tank 300 is sprayed to the inner surface of the visible body 210 .

The watering unit 400 provides a structure for rotating the watering housing 800 . The watering unit 400 is also provided with a transmission module 600 that can transmit power to the watering housing 800 in a structure in which the water tank 300 and the upper body 120 can be separated.

The structure of the watering unit 400 will be described in more detail as follows.

The watering unit 400 includes: a watering housing 800 , a watering motor 42 , and a transmission module 600 .

The watering unit 400 includes: a watering housing 800, which is arranged inside the water tank 300, rotates to suck the water in the water tank 300 into the inside, lifts the sucked water upward, and spit out the lifted water to the outside; watering The motor 42 provides rotational force to the watering housing 800 ; the transmission module 600 transmits the rotational force of the watering motor 42 to the watering housing 800 .

The watering case 800 has a structure in which the water stored in the water tank 300 is pumped upward and then sprayed radially outward.

The watering motor 42 is a structure that provides rotational force for rotating the watering housing 800 .

The transmission module 600 is a structure for transmitting the rotational force of the watering motor 42 to the watering housing 800 .

The watering housing 800 , the watering motor 42 and the transmission module 600 may all be disposed in the water tank 300 . In this case, when the user separates the air cleaning module 200, the watering motor 42 needs to be lifted together. Furthermore, when the watering motor 42 is also incorporated in the air cleaning module 200, when the air cleaning module 200 is separated from the air cleaning module 100, the power supply structure of the watering motor 42 needs to be separated.

Therefore, the present embodiment proposes a structure in which the heavy watering motor 42 is arranged on the upper body 120 and only the watering housing 800 and the transmission module 600 are separated. The structure described in this embodiment can minimize the weight of the air cleaning module 200 that can be separated.

In this embodiment, the watering housing 800 and the watering motor 42 are separable structures. The watering housing 800 is arranged inside the air cleaning module 200 , and the watering motor 42 is arranged inside the air cleaning module 100 . When the air cleaning module 200 is separated, the watering housing 800 is separated from the air cleaning module 100 together with the water tank 300 .

In order to realize the separation structure of the watering housing 800 and the watering motor 42 , in this embodiment, the transmission module 600 is designed to have a structure that can be separated.

16 is a perspective view showing the lower side of the upper body of FIG. 2 , FIG. 17 is a front view of FIG. 16 , FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 17 , FIG. 19 is a bottom view of FIG. 16 , and FIG. 20 is a plan view of FIG. 16 , FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 20 , and FIG. 22 is a cross-sectional view taken along line L-L of FIG. 10 .

The upper body 120 constitutes the upper part of the base body 110 and is used for placing the water tank 300 . The water tank 300 is inserted into the upper body 120 .

The upper body 120 supports the load of the air cleaning module 100 . In particular, the water tank 300 is placed on the upper body 120, and the water tank 300 and the upper body 120 are in contact with each other.

A vibration isolation member 370 is arranged between the water tank 300 and the upper body 120 . The vibration isolation member 370 separates the water tank 300 and the upper body 120 by a predetermined interval, and performs vibration isolation between the water tank 300 and the upper body 120 .

That is, the vibration isolation member 370 cuts off vibration between the water tank 300 and the upper body 120 . The vibration isolation member 370 separates the water tank 300 and the upper body 120 by a predetermined interval.

The vibration isolation member 370 is preferably formed of elastic material. The vibration isolation member 370 is arranged on at least one of the water tank 300 or the upper body 120 .

In this embodiment, the vibration isolation member 370 is disposed on the upper body 120 and supports the water tank 300 .

The vibration isolation member 370 is disposed inside the upper body 120 and protrudes from the bottom surface of the upper body 120 by a predetermined height. The vibration isolation member 370 supports the load of the air cleaning module 200 including the water tank 300 .

The vibration isolation member 370 cuts off the vibration of the air cleaning module 100 from being transmitted to the air cleaning module 200 . The vibration of the blower fan 24 , the blower motor 22 , and the watering motor 42 arranged on the air cleaning module 100 is cut off from being transmitted to the air cleaning module 200 .

Also, the vibration isolation member 370 cuts off the vibration of the watering unit 400 of the air cleaning module 200 from being transmitted to the upper body 120 .

The vibration isolation of the vibration isolation member 370 can reduce the transmission of vibration to the user or the occurrence of vibration noise.

In addition, by the vibration isolation of the vibration isolation member 370, the possibility of resonance generation can be greatly reduced.

Hereinafter, the structure of the upper body 120 will be described in more detail.

The upper body 120 includes: an upper outer body 128 (upper outer body), used to form the outer shape of the base body 110 and combined with the lower body 130 ; an upper inner body 140 (upper inner body), arranged on the upper outer body 128 Inside, the water tank 300 is inserted into the upper inner main body 140, the upper inner main body 140 provides the connection flow path 103; the air guide 170 (air guide) combines the upper inner main body 140 and the upper outer main body 128 , for guiding the air to the water tank 300 .

Since the upper body 120 disposes the connection flow path and the water tank insertion space in a phase-separated manner, the water in the water tank 300 can be minimized to flow into the connection flow path. In particular, since the upper inner body is divided, the connection flow path is arranged outside the space in which the water is stored, so that the inflow of water into the connection flow path can be suppressed.

The upper side of the upper inner body 140 is formed in an open state, and the water tank 300 is inserted into the upper inner body 140 . The upper inner body 140 forms part of the clean connection flow path 104 into which filtered air flows.

The upper inner body 140 is formed with an upper inflow port 121 corresponding to the water tank inflow port 31 . The upflow inlet 121 is not an essential structural element. A shape in which the upper body 120 exposes the water tank inflow port 31 to the connection flow path 103 is sufficient.

The air guide 170 guides the air supplied through the cleaning connection flow path 104 to the upstream inlet 121 . The air guide 170 collects the air rising along the outer side of the base body 110 to the inner side. The air guide 170 is used to change the flow direction of the air flowing from the lower side to the upper side. However, when the air guide 170 changes the flow direction of the air, its angle is minimized to minimize the flow resistance of the air.

The air guide 170 is formed so as to cover the outer side of the inner body 140 at 360 degrees. The air guide 170 guides the air toward the water tank 300 in all directions of 360 degrees. The air guide 170 collects the air guided along the outer side of the lower body 130 to the inner side, and supplies it to the water tank 300 . With the above-described configuration, the flow rate of the air supplied to the water tank 300 can be sufficiently secured.

Therefore, the air guide 170 includes a guide portion 172 formed along the flow direction of the air, and a conversion portion 174 connected to the guide portion 172 to convert the flow direction of the guided air.

The conversion portion 174 is formed on the upper side of the air guide 170 . The conversion part 174 is preferably connected with the guide part 172 through a curved surface structure.

Even if the conversion portion 174 is formed in the horizontal direction, the air passing through the connection flow path 103 will flow in the substantially inclined upper direction. By forming the connection angle between the connection flow path 103 and the filter flow path 102 so as to approximate the straight forward direction, the flow resistance of the air can be reduced.

The lower end of the guide portion 172 is fixed to the upper outer body 128 . The upper end of the conversion portion 174 is fixed to the upper inner body 140 .

A part of the cleaning connection flow path 104 is formed outside the upper inner body 140 . The air guide 170 forms part of the clean connection flow path 104 .
