AIR PURIFIER AND FILTER STRUCTURE THEREOF

Abstract

A filter structure includes a base and a filter. The base is provided with an aperture and multiple second slopes around the aperture. The filter is connected to the base and slidable relative to the base. The filter has a first sliding block and multiple second sliding blocks. The first sliding block passes through the aperture. Each second sliding block abuts against each second slope and is slidable along each second slope. Therefore, the gap between the main body and the filter may be reduced to increase the filtering efficiency of the air purifier and the filter structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The technical contents of this disclosure will become apparent with the detailed description of embodiments accompanied with the illustration of related drawings as follows. It is intended that the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein are to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.

[0018] Please refer to FIGS. 1-7. The disclosure provides an air purifier and a filter structure thereof. The air purifier 10 includes a main body 1 and a filter structure 2. The filter structure 2 includes a base 21 and a filter 22.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1-3 and 5-7, the main body 1 is provided with a recess 11, a fan (not shown in figures) disposed over the recess 11 and air outlet (not shown in figures) disposed over the fan. The main body 1 further has a first slope 12 formed on the bottom of the recess 11 and multiple rails 13 formed on the bottom of the recess 11. The recess 11 is formed with an opening 111. The first slope 12 gradually rises toward a direction away from the opening 111.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1-7, the filter structure 2 may be embedded in or separated from the recess 11. The filter structure 2 includes a base 21 and a filter 22. The base 21 is provided with an aperture 211 and multiple second slopes 212 disposed around the aperture 211. The multiple second slopes 212 are arranged parallelly around the aperture 211 at regular intervals. The first slope 12 and each second slope 212 are opposite in slant direction.

[0021] In detail, the filter 22 is connected to the base 21 and slidable relative to the base 21. The filter 22 has a first sliding block 221 and multiple second sliding blocks 222. The first sliding block 221 passes through the aperture 211 to abut against (or reach) the first slope 12 and is slidable along the first slope 12. Each second sliding block 222 abuts against each second slope 212 and is slidable along each second slope 212.

[0022] In addition, the underside of the first sliding block 221 has a slant bottom 2211. The slant bottom 2211 reaches the first slope 12 and is opposite to the first slope 12 in slant direction. The slant bottom 2211 is slidable relative to the first slope 12.

[0023] In addition, an end of the first sliding block 221 has a transverse round rod 2221. The base 21 includes an upper base 213 and a lower base 214 connected vertically with each other. The bottom of the upper base 213 is protruded with multiple third slopes 2131. The multiple second slopes 212 protrude from the top of the lower base 214. Each second slope 212 is opposite to each third slope 2131 in slant direction. Each transverse round rod 2221 is sandwiched between each second slope 212 and each third slope 2131 and is slidable along each second slope 212.

[0024] Also, each first sliding block 221 is removably connected to the filter 22. In detail, another end of each first sliding block 221 has a fixing element 2222. Each third slope 2131 is formed with a through hole 2132. The filter 22 is formed with multiple fixing holes 223. Each fixing element 2222 passes through each through hole 2132 and is fixed in each fixing hole 223 to make the filter 22 be removably installed on the base 21. The fixing element 2222 may be, but not limited to, a fastener, a plug or a screw, etc.

[0025] Besides, at least one of the upper base 213 and the lower base 214 is extended with multiple stopping blocks 215 which are disposed on two sides of each second slope 212 and configured to stop each transverse round rod 2221. The bottom of the base 21 is protruded with multiple protrusions 216 which are slidable on the multiple rails 13. The multiple second slopes 212 and the multiple third slopes 2131 are disposed in the multiple protrusions 216.

[0026] As shown in FIGS. 5-7, the air purifier 10 further includes a pad 3. The main body 1 has a top side 14 formed on the top of the recess 11. The pad 3 is fixed on the top side 14 and may be sandwiched between the main body 1 and the filter 22.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 6-7, which show the using statuses of the air purifier 10 of the disclosure, the disclosure uses both the first sliding block 221 to slide and rise along the first slope 12 and each second sliding block 222 to slide and rise along each second slope 212 to make the filter 22 be raised for being closely connected with the main body 1 when the filter structure 2 is being embedded into the main body 1. This reduces the gap between the main body 1 and the filter 22 to make the air ejected from the air outlet of the main body 1 indeed filtered by the filter 22 to increase the filtering efficiency of the air purifier 10 and the filter structure 2.

[0028] In addition, the multiple second sliding blocks 222 are used to evenly disperse the weight of the filter 22 bom by the first sliding block 221 to make the filter 22 smoothly rise relative to the base 21 while the filter structure 2 is being embedded in the recess 11.

[0029] Further, the top side 14 formed on the top of the recess 11 of the main body 1 is fixed with the pad 3. The filter 22 rises relative to the base 21 to reach the pad 3 to make the pad 3 be sandwiched between the main body 1 and the filter 22 while the filter structure 2 is being embedded in the recess 11. This avoids a gap formed between the main body 1 and the filter 22.

[0030] While this disclosure has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure set forth in the claims.
