Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention provides an air purifier. The air purifier according to one preferred embodiment, of the present invention may comprise: a housing; a blowing unit installed in the housing so as to draw in external air; and a filter unit having filtering surfaces, through which the air passes and which are disposed in multiple directions, and an air inflow space, which has at least a part thereof surrounded by the filtering surfaces disposed in the multiple directions and into which the air discharged from, the blowing unit flows.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A filter unit, comprising: a filter member having four filtering surfaces to filter air; and a filter frame on which the filter member is mounted, wherein the filter frame includes two first type frames and two second type frames, wherein one of the two first type frames is hinge-combined with one of the two second type frames to rotate between an upper limit and a lower limit of a first range of a rotation angle and is hinge-combined with the other of the two second type frames to rotate between an upper limit and a lower limit of a second range of a rotation angle, wherein the other of the two first type frames is hinge-combined with the one of the two second type frames to rotate between the upper limit and the lower limit of the second range of a rotation angle and is hinge-combined with the other of the two second type frames to rotate between the upper limit and the lower limit of the first range of a rotation angle, wherein the upper limit of the first range is smaller than the upper limit of the second range, and wherein the lower limit of the first range is smaller than the lower limit of the second range. 2. The filter unit of claim 1 , wherein the lower limit of the first range is 0 degree, the upper limit of the first range is 90 degrees, the lower limit of the second range is 90 degrees, and the upper limit of the second range is 180 degrees. 3. The filter unit of claim 1 , wherein when an angle between the one of the two first type frames and the one of the two second type frames is 0 degree and an angle between the one of the two first type frames and the other of the two second type frames is 180 degrees, the one of the two first type frames and the one of the two second type frames are in contact with each other and the other of the two first type frames and the other of the two second type frames are in contact with each other. 4. The filter unit of claim 1 , wherein when an angle between the one of the two first type frames and the one of the two second type frames is 90 degrees and an angle between the one of the two first type frames and the other of the two second type frames is 90 degrees, the filter frame forms a rectangle. 5. The filter unit of claim 1 , wherein the two first type frames are parallel to each other and the two second type frames are parallel to each other. 6. The filter unit of claim 1 , wherein an angle between the one of the two first type frames and the one of the two second type frames is the same as an angle between the other of the two first type frames and the other of the two second type frames and an angle between the one of the two first type frames and the other of the two second type frames is the same as an angle between the other of the two first type frames and the one of the two second type frames. 7. The filter unit of claim 1 , wherein each of the two first type frames and the two second type frames includes a filter separation prevention rib holding a position of the filter member.
