DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0028] Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, where shows an exploded view of the wearable air purifier of the present invention; and FIG. 4 shows an assembled view of the wearable air purifier in FIG. 3 without a top shell.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 3, the wearable air purifier has a top shell 110, a bottom shell 120, a circuit board 130, a lanyard 140, and a grounding structure 150.

[0030] The circuit board 130 is locked to an electrical connecting part 120a of the bottom shell 120 by the grounding structure 150 through a perforation 130a; the lanyard 140 is passed through two lanyard perforations 120b of the bottom shell 120; and the lanyard 140 is an insulated or non-conductive lanyard.

[0031] When a user uses the lanyard 140 to hang the wearable air purifier on the body, since the grounding layer of the circuit board 130 is electrically coupled to the bottom shell 120 through the grounding structure 150, and the bottom shell 120 can conduct electricity, the static electricity on the circuit board 130 can be released to earth via the bottom shell 120 and the user's body in contact with the bottom shell 120.

[0032] For possible embodiments, the bottom shell 120 can be doped or coated with a metallic material, or doped with graphite.

[0033] Alternatively, the top shell 110 can be a conductive shell, and it may be doped or coated with a metallic material, or doped with graphite.

[0034] Alternatively, the grounding structure 150 can include a metal screw, a metal bolt, or a metal rivet.

[0035] In addition, the wearable air purifier of the present invention can be fixed to the user via a clip. Please refer to FIG. 5, which illustrates a schematic view showing the appearance of another embodiment of the wearable air purifier of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the wearable air purifier has a clip 160 attached to its shell for the user to fix the wearable air purifier to the body. In light of the above description, it can be seen that the present creation discloses a wearable air purifier, which includes: a shell having an electrical connecting part on an inner surface thereof and the electrical connecting part being electrically connected to an outer surface conductive area of the shell; a circuit board provided inside the shell and having a grounding layer electrically coupled to the electrical connecting part via a grounding structure; and a wearable member connected to the shell for a user to wear to carry the wearable air purifier on the user.

[0036] In the wearable air purifier, the outer surface conductive area can be an outer surface area of a bottom shell of the shell, and the outer surface area can be doped or coated with a metallic material, or doped with graphite. Alternatively, the outer surface conductive area can be an outer surface area of a top shell of the shell, and the outer surface area can be doped or coated with a metallic material, or doped with graphite. Alternatively, the outer surface conductive area can be the entire outer surface of the shell, and the entire outer surface can be doped or coated with a metallic material, or doped with graphite.

[0037] In addition, the grounding structure can include a metal screw, a metal bolt, or a metal rivet.

[0038] In addition, the wearable member can be a lanyard or a clip.

[0039] With the designs disclosed above, the invention has the following advantages: [0040] 1. The wearable air purifier of the invention can effectively discharge static electricity through the contact between a conductive shell and the user's body.

[0041] 2. The wearable air purifier of the invention can provide a more reliable electrostatic release mechanism.

[0042] While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and the scope of the appended claims therefore should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures.

[0043] In summation of the above description, the present invention herein enhances the performance over the conventional structure and further complies with the patent application requirements and is submitted to the Patent and Trademark Office for review and granting of the commensurate patent rights.
