Abstract

An air cleaning module includes a filter, an air blower spaced apart from the filter to provide a fluid to the filter through a blowing port, a light source unit provided between the air blower and the filter to provide a light to the filter, and at least one guide provided between the air blower and the filter to guide a flow path through which the fluid flows. The guide guides a width of a passage of the fluid to become wider toward the filter.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An air cleaning module comprising:
a filter;
an air blower spaced apart from the filter to provide a fluid to the filter through a blowing port;
a light source unit provided between the air blower and the filter to provide a light to the filter;
a housing providing a flow space for the fluid therein, wherein the housing comprises a bottom, a ceiling facing the bottom, and a sidewall; and
at least one guide provided between the air blower and the filter to guide a flow path through which the fluid flows, wherein the guide guides a width of a passage of the fluid to become wider toward the filter,
wherein the light source unit comprises:
a substrate elongated in one direction; and
at least one light emitting device mounted on a front surface of the substrate to emit the light, and

wherein the housing further comprises a light source fixing part protruded from at least one of the bottom and the ceiling to fix the light source unit, and the light source fixing part has a height allowing a height of the light emitting device to correspond to a half of a height of the filter.

2. The air cleaning module of claim 1 , wherein the guide has a curved plate shape elongated to the filter from the light source unit.

3. The air cleaning module of claim 2 , wherein at least a portion of the guide has a curved plate shape when viewed in a plan view.

4. The air cleaning module of claim 1 , wherein the guide comprises a pair of main guides provided at both sides of the blowing port to correspond to a width of the blowing port.

5. The air cleaning module of claim 4 , wherein a width between the main guides in a direction vertical to a flow direction of the fluid increases from the air blower to the filter.

6. The air cleaning module of claim 4 , further comprising a first sub-guide provided between the main guides.

7. The air cleaning module of claim 1 , wherein the guide is provided on at least one of the bottom and the ceiling.

8. The air cleaning module of claim 1 , wherein one end of the guide is connected to the sidewall.

9. The air cleaning module of claim 1 , wherein the ceiling comprises an inlet connected to the air blower to suck the fluid, and the sidewall comprises an outlet to discharge the fluid.

10. The air cleaning module of claim 9 , wherein the air blower allows the fluid to flow to the blowing port from the inlet, and a direction of the fluid passing through the inlet is different from a direction of the fluid passing through the blowing port.

11. The air cleaning module of claim 10 , wherein the air blower is disposed substantially parallel to the ceiling.

12. The air cleaning module of claim 9 , wherein the air blower is disposed inclinedly to the ceiling.

13. The air cleaning module of claim 12 , wherein the air blower allows the fluid to flow to the blowing port from the inlet, and the direction of the fluid passing through the inlet is the same as the direction of the fluid passing through the blowing port.

14. The air cleaning module of claim 1 , wherein the substrate has a curved shape.

15. The air cleaning module of claim 14 , wherein the substrate is disposed to make contact with the guide.

16. The air cleaning module of claim 1 , wherein the guide further comprises a second sub-guide provided behind the substrate.

17. The air cleaning module of claim 1 , wherein the air blower comprises a first air blower and a second air blower.
