[0029] The present invention provides an air purification device.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in the embodiments of the present invention, the air purification device includes a body housing 10, a bottom cover 20, a blower 30, and a composite filter 40; an air outlet 11 is provided at the top of the body housing 10, and an opening 12 is provided at the bottom of the body housing 10, and the bottom cover 20 closes the opening 12; the blower 30 and the composite filter 40 are sequentially arranged in the body housing 10 along the direction from the air outlet 11 to the opening 12, and an air inlet 13 is provided in the body housing 10 corresponding to the position of the composite filter 40; the composite filter 40 includes a first filter 401, a second filter 402, a lysozyme filter 403, an ultraviolet barrier layer 404, a photocatalyst filter 405, and an ultraviolet lamp 406 which are sequentially arranged at intervals from the body housing 10 towards the interior direction.

[0031] In the technical solution proposed by the present invention, the air purification device can effectively reduce the content of particulate matters such as PM2.5, chemical pollutants such as formaldehyde, fungi such as Aspergillus flavus, and viruses such as H1N1 in the air through the composite filter 40 composed of the first filter 401, the second filter 402, the lysozyme filter 403, the ultraviolet barrier layer 404, the photocatalyst filter 405, and the ultraviolet lamp 406, and is applicable to places where children stay for a long time, such as kindergartens, children's rooms, and children's palaces, which is more targeted.

[0032] Specifically, the first filter 401 is a primary filter, and the primary filter is mainly used to filter large particulate pollutants such as dust and hair in the air.

[0033] Specifically, the second filter 402 is a HEPA high-efficiency filter, and the HEPA high-efficiency filter can filter out fine particulate matters such as PM2.5 and some bacteria in the air.

[0034] Specifically, the lysozyme filter 403 utilizes lysozyme to be able to destroy the cell wall and thus kill some bacteria.

[0035] Specifically, the photocatalyst filter 405 can decompose harmful gases such as formaldehyde under the irradiation of the ultraviolet lamp 406. The wavelength of the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 406 is 250nm - 370nm. After multiple experimental verifications, when the wavelength of the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 406 is 254nm, the purification effect of the photocatalyst filter 405 is the best; at the same time, the ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 254nm can also directly kill some bacteria and viruses, further increasing the purification effect.

[0036] Specifically, an ultraviolet barrier layer 404 is provided between the lysozyme filter screen 403 and the photocatalyst filter screen 405. The ultraviolet barrier layer is used to prevent the ultraviolet rays emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 406 from passing through the photocatalyst filter screen 405 and inactivating the lysozyme on the lysozyme filter screen 403. At the same time, the ultraviolet barrier layer 404 can also reflect part of the ultraviolet rays and contact the photocatalyst filter screen 405 again, making the filtration and sterilization more thorough.

[0037] Furthermore, a nanoscale breathable membrane 407 is also provided between the first filter screen 401 and the second filter screen 402. The nanoscale breathable membrane 407 can evenly disperse the air flow filtered by the first filter screen 401 and then transport it to the second filter screen 402, thus avoiding the phenomenon of uneven and insufficient contact between the air flow and the filter screen caused by the mixing of the incoming air flows.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first filter screen 401, the breathable membrane 407, the second filter screen 402, the lysozyme filter screen 403, the ultraviolet barrier layer 404, and the photocatalyst filter screen 405 are all cylindrical. Centered on the ultraviolet lamp 406, the photocatalyst filter screen 405, the ultraviolet barrier layer 404, the lysozyme filter screen 403, the second filter screen 402, the breathable membrane 407, and the first filter screen 401 are sequentially sleeved outside the ultraviolet lamp 406. The cylindrical composite filter screen 40 can purify the air in all directions.

[0039] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the air purification device further includes an air flow pressurization structure 50 provided in the body housing 10. The air flow pressurization structure 50 includes a volute 51 and a pressurization air duct 52. The fan 30 is arranged in the volute 51. The air inlet end of the volute 51 is engaged with the composite filter screen 40. The air outlet end of the volute 51 communicates with the air inlet end of the pressurization air duct 52. The air outlet end of the pressurization air duct 52 communicates with the air outlet 11. A spiral rising guide plate 53 is arranged in the pressurization air duct 52. Among them, the volute 51, the pressurization air duct 52, and the guide plate 53 are integrally formed, and their function is to completely confine the purified gas within the structure. The pressurization air duct 52 is a twisted cylinder, and the guide plate 53 is arranged inside it, and its function is to pressurize and transport the purified air to the air outlet 11. The guide plate 53 is a spiral rising structure, and its function is to further increase the conveying pressure of the air flow confined in the pressurization air duct 52.

[0040] Furthermore, please refer to again Figure 1The air outlet 11 is also provided with an air outlet grille 60, and the air outlet grille 60 is provided with a rotatable air guide plate 61. The angle between the air guide plate 61 and the horizontal plane is 30° to 90°. The rotatable air guide plate 61 can adjust the air outlet direction as needed, effectively improving the CADR value (clean air delivery ratio).

[0041] After the fan 30 is started, the air purification device proposed by the present invention sucks in the indoor air from the air inlet 13, passes through the first filter 401 of the first layer to filter large suspended particles such as hair and dust, and is evenly dispersed by the breathable membrane 407 and then transported to the second filter 402 of the second layer; the second filter 402 then filters tiny particles such as PM2.5 and some bacteria, and then the lysozyme filter 403 of the third layer kills microorganisms, bacteria and viruses, passes through the ultraviolet blocking layer 404 of the fourth layer, and finally the photocatalyst filter 405 of the fifth layer decomposes gaseous pollutants such as formaldehyde under the irradiation of the ultraviolet lamp 406, thereby completing comprehensive purification. The purified air is then sent to the airflow boosting structure 50 by the volute 51, and is sent out from the air outlet 11 after being boosted under the joint action of the boosting air duct 52 and the guide plate 53.

[0042] In another embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 5 The first filter 401, the air permeable membrane 407, the second filter 402, the lysozyme filter 403, the ultraviolet blocking layer 404 and the photocatalyst filter 405 are all in the shape of square sheets. The ultraviolet lamp 406 is located directly behind the photocatalyst filter 405. The composite filter 40 of this embodiment is suitable for an air purification device that takes in air from both sides of the fuselage.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
