[0074] The display portion 40 can display the current action state of the shoe care device 1 or whether an abnormality occurs, etc. The display portion 40 can be disposed at the lower portion of the second-2 door 322.

[0075] Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, in the shoe care device 1, the surface or direction in which a plurality of doors 121, 122, 321, 322 are disposed is defined as a front surface or a front direction, and the opposite surface or direction thereof is defined as a back surface or a back direction.

[0076] Figure 2 is to make Figure 1Front view of the shoe care device 1 of an embodiment of the present application in a state in which a plurality of doors are opened.

[0077] A first internal space IS1 in which shoes are accommodated can be formed in an upper portion inside the first care device 10, and an electric component portion can be disposed in a lower portion of the first internal space IS1. An electric component portion front panel 201 can be disposed in a front surface of a space in which the electric component portion is disposed. That is, the first case 11 can form the first internal space IS1 and the space in which the electric component portion is disposed, and the front surface of the space in which the electric component portion is disposed can be blocked by the electric component portion front panel 201.

[0078] A plurality of devices for removing moisture from air, a plurality of devices for discharging air from which moisture has been removed to the first internal space IS1 and the second internal space IS2, a water tank 271 for supplying water, a water tank 272 for draining water, and the like can be disposed in the space in which the electric component portion is disposed.

[0079] The first care device 10 can include at least one first partition portion that partitions the first internal space IS1. The at least one first partition portion can include a partition portion that partitions the first internal space IS1 in a left-right direction and an up-down direction.

[0080] As illustrated in the embodiment, the first internal space IS1 can be partitioned by a 1-1 partition portion 131, a 1-2 partition portion 132, and a 1-3 partition portion 133. The 1-1 partition portion 131 can partition the first internal space IS1 in the left-right direction. The 1-1 partition portion 131 can be disposed at a middle portion in the left-right direction of the first internal space IS1. The 1-2 partition portion 132 and the 1-3 partition portion 133 can partition the first internal space IS1 in the up-down direction, respectively.

[0081] The second care device 30 can include at least one second partition portion that partitions the second internal space IS2. The second partition portion can include at least one partition portion that partitions the second internal space IS2 in the up-down direction.

[0082] The second care device 30 can include at least one second partition portion that partitions the second internal space IS2. The second partition portion can include at least one partition portion that partitions the second internal space IS2 in the up-down direction.

[0083] As illustrated in the embodiment, the second internal space IS2 can be partitioned by a 2-1 partition portion 331, a 2-2 partition portion 332, and a 2-3 partition portion 333 in the up-down direction.

[0084] Figure 3 is Figure 1 The shoe care device 1 of an embodiment of the present application in a state in which the doors 121, 122, 321, 322, and the electric component portion front panel 201 are removed is illustrated in a perspective view. Figure 3 The arrows in the drawing indicate air flow.

[0085] As described above, the lower portion inside the first care device 10 is provided with the electric component portion 20. The electric component portion 20 can be formed separately from the first care device 10, or can be included in the first care device 10. In this specification, the case where the electric component portion 20 is included in the first care device 10 will be described as a basis.

[0086] The electric component portion 20 can flow a fluid. That is, the electric component portion 20 can supply a fluid to the first internal space IS1 and / or the second internal space IS2. Alternatively, the electric component portion 20 can also suck a fluid from the first internal space IS1 and / or the second internal space IS2. Here, the fluid can be a substance including air, steam, or a component required for the care shoe.

[0087] The electric component portion 20 sucks air, and after removing moisture from the sucked air, discharges the air from which the moisture is removed.

[0088] The air discharged from the electric component portion 20 can be discharged to the first internal space IS1 of the first care device 10 and / or the second internal space IS2 of the second care device 30. To this end, a first flow path communicating between the main fan of the electric component portion 20 and the first internal space IS1 and a second flow path communicating between the main fan of the electric component portion 20 and the second internal space IS2 can be formed.

[0089] The air inside the first internal space IS1 can be re-sucked into the electric component portion. To this end, a recovery flow path passing through the first internal space IS1 and a space in which the electric component portion 20 is disposed can be formed.

[0090] The second care device 30 can include a second discharge portion 35 through which the air discharged from the electric component portion 20 flows and is discharged to the second internal space IS2. The second discharge portion 35 can be disposed at the lower rear side of the second internal space IS2 formed by the second case 31.

[0091] In addition, the second care device 30 can include a circulation filter 36 that removes harmful substances from the air of the second internal space IS2. The circulation filter 36 can be disposed at the inner side surface of the second case 31. Figure 3 The circulation filter 36 is shown as one, but the circulation filter 36 can be plural. For example, another circulation filter can be disposed at the opposite side of the circulation filter 36 of Figure 3

[0092] In addition, the second care device 30 can include a front discharge portion 37 that discharges the air of the second internal space IS2 to the outside. The front discharge portion 37 can be disposed at the front of the upper portion of the second case 31.

[0093] ​Furthermore, the front-to-back angle of at least one of the plurality of separators 331, 332, and 333 of the second nursing device 30 can be varied. If the plurality of separators are configured to have a variable front-to-back angle, the front-to-back angle of each of the plurality of separators can be varied independently of one another. Since the front-to-back angle of at least one of the plurality of separators 331, 332, and 333 can be varied, the air flow pattern within the second internal space IS2 can be varied, thereby achieving ventilation even in corners within the second internal space IS2.

[0094] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a first care device 10, which includes an electrical component 20 and forms a first internal space IS1 for arranging shoes; and a second care device 30, which is arranged above the first care device 10 and forms a second internal space IS2 for arranging shoes. The electrical component 20 may be arranged at the bottom of the first care device 10, and the first internal space IS1 may be formed at the top of the space in which the electrical component 20 is arranged. The first care device 10 can perform at least one of the following actions: dust removal, sterilization, deodorization, dehumidification, drying, and coating on the shoes arranged in the first internal space IS1 at a relatively high intensity within a relatively short period of time. The second care device 30 can perform at least one of the following actions: sterilization, ventilation, and dehumidification on the second internal space IS2 at a relatively low intensity over a relatively long period of time.

[0095] Here, relatively high intensity means that the temperature of the steam used in the sterilization operation is relatively higher, the intensity of the ultraviolet rays used in the sterilization operation is relatively stronger, or the intensity of the airflow applied to the shoes is relatively stronger.

[0096] Therefore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the shoe care device can be stored for a long time without deformation while quickly removing the pollution source of the shoe. In addition, the shoe care device can be realized in a compact structure so that it can be embedded in the entrance space.

[0097] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, dehumidified air can be supplied to two shoe care devices using one electrical component, thereby reducing the overall size of the shoe care device.

[0098] Figure 4 It shows Figure 1 FIG2 is a diagram showing a portion of the back of a shoe care device according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the shoe care device may include a first care device 10, a second care device 30, and an upper and lower connecting portion 50. The upper and lower connecting portion 50 may include an upper and lower connecting rod 51 and a plurality of upper and lower connecting screws 521, 522, 523, and 524.

[0099] likeFigure 4 As shown, the shoe care device according to an embodiment of the present application can have a form in which the first care device 10 and the second care device 30 are combined in a stacked state.

[0100] The upper-and-lower combining portion 50 can combine the stacked first care device 10 and the second care device 30. The upper-and-lower combining portion 50 can be disposed at the back of the shoe care device 1.

[0101] The upper-and-lower connecting rod 51 is disposed at a portion where the first care device 10 and the second care device 30 are connected, and a part thereof can be positioned at the back of the first care device 10 and a part thereof can be positioned at the back of the second care device 30. When viewed from the back, the upper-and-lower connecting rod 51 can have an H shape in which the length in the left-and-right direction is relatively long and the length in the upper-and-lower direction is relatively short.

[0102] The plurality of upper-and-lower connecting screws 521, 522, 523, and 524 combine the first care device 10 or the second care device 30 with the upper-and-lower connecting rod 51, thereby enabling fixation to each other. The plurality of upper-and-lower connecting screws 521 and 523 can combine the upper-and-lower connecting rod 51 with the second care device 30, and the plurality of upper-and-lower connecting screws 522 and 524 can combine the upper-and-lower connecting rod 51 with the first care device 10. The plurality of upper-and-lower connecting screws 521 and 522 can be disposed at the right side when viewed from the back, and the plurality of upper-and-lower connecting screws 523 and 524 can be disposed at the left side when viewed from the back.

[0103] Figure 5 is a view showing Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a view showing a shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0104] A plurality of first signal contacts 141 and 142 can be disposed on the top surface of the first case 11 of the first care device 10. A plurality of second signal contacts 341 and 342 can be disposed on the bottom surface of the second case 31 of the second care device 30.

[0105] When the second care device 30 is stacked on the top surface of the first care device 10, the plurality of first signal contacts 141 and 142 and the plurality of second signal contacts 341 and 342 can be in contact with each other, respectively. Signals are transmitted through the plurality of first signal contacts 141 and 142 and the plurality of second signal contacts 341 and 342, and the first care device 10 and the second care device 30 can transmit and receive necessary signals (data) to each other.

[0106] Furthermore, a first discharge portion 15 may be disposed on the upper portion of the first nursing device 10. When the second nursing device 30 is stacked on top of the first nursing device 10, the first discharge portion 15 may be connected to the second discharge portion 35 of the second nursing device 30. Thus, air discharged from the electrical component 20 can be discharged into the second internal space IS2 through the first discharge portion 15 of the first nursing device 10 and the second discharge portion 35 of the second nursing device 30.

[0126] Figure 9 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0127] Air flowing into the cover 25 is dried and / or heated, and flows into the main fan 21. Air discharged from the main fan 21 can be supplied to the first internal space IS1 formed by the first case 11 via the air distribution part 22. Alternatively, air discharged from the main fan 21 can be supplied to the first discharge part 15 via the air distribution part 22 and the up-and-down connection part 23. Air discharged to the first discharge part 15 can be supplied to the second internal space IS2 formed by the second case 31 through the second discharge part 35 of the second care device 30. Alternatively, air discharged from the main fan 21 can be simultaneously supplied to the first internal space IS1 and the second internal space IS2 using the above-described method.

[0128] Figure 10 FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the first discharge part 15 of the first care device 10 of the shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present application, which can include a diffusion part 151, a first discharge part lower seal 152, an adjustment damper 153, and a first discharge part upper seal 154.

[0129] The diffusion part 151 is formed such that the cross-sectional area of a portion where air flows in is small, and the cross-sectional area of a portion where air is discharged is large, thereby diffusing the discharged air. The diffusion part 151 can be disposed on the rear side upper end of the first case 11 of the first care device 10.

[0130] The first discharge part lower seal 152 can be disposed between the up-and-down connection pipe 23 and the diffusion part 151. The first discharge part lower seal 152 can be formed of a material having elasticity, such as rubber. The first discharge part lower seal 152 can prevent air from leaking between the up-and-down connection pipe 23 and the diffusion part 151.

[0131] The adjustment damper 153 can be disposed in the portion where air flows in of the diffusion part 151. For example, the adjustment damper 153 can be disposed in a portion connecting the diffusion part 151 and the up-and-down connection pipe 23. The adjustment damper 153 can adjust the amount of air discharged through the diffusion part 151. According to the function of the adjustment damper 153, air can be selectively supplied to the second internal space IS2.

[0132] The first discharge part upper seal 154 may be between the first top surface opening (opening) and the diffuser 151, wherein the first top surface opening is formed to configure the first discharge part 15 on the top surface of the first box body 11. The first discharge part upper seal 154 may be formed of an elastic material such as rubber. The first discharge part upper seal 154 may prevent air from leaking between the first box body 11 and the diffuser 151. In addition, when the second nursing device 30 is configured on the upper part of the first nursing device 10, the first discharge part upper seal 154 may also perform the function of maintaining airtightness between the first discharge part 15 (more specifically, the diffuser 151) and the second discharge part 35 (more specifically, the second inflow part 352).

[0133] Figure 11 and Figure 12 1 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the damper 153 of the first discharge portion 15 of the first care device 10 of the shoe care device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11 153 is a diagram showing a state where the damper 153 is closed. Figure 12 It is a diagram showing a state where the damper 153 is opened.

[0134] like Figure 11 As shown, if the damper 153 is closed, the air discharged from the electrical component 20 is not discharged through the first discharge portion 15 , and as a result, the air does not flow (circulate) in the second internal space IS2 of the second nursing device 30 .

[0135] like Figure 12 As shown, when the damper 153 is opened, the air discharged from the electrical equipment unit 20 is diffused and discharged through the first discharge portion 15 , thereby generating air flow in the second internal space IS2 of the second nursing device 30 .

[0136] Figure 13 is to remove Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the states of the doors 121 and 122 of the first care device 10 of the shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0137] The first nursing device 10 may include a plurality of separators 131-1, 132-1, 133-1 and a plurality of inner panels 161, 162, 163, 164. Although not shown, the first nursing device 10 may further include a plurality of discharge fans disposed behind each of the plurality of inner panels 161, 162, 163, 164.

[0138] The configuration and function of the 1st-1st separator 131-1, the 1st-2nd separator 132-1 and the 1st-3rd separator 133-1 can be Figure 2The functions of the 1-1 separation portion 131, the 1-2 separation portion 132, and the 1-3 separation portion 133 described above are substantially the same.

[0139] However, according to an embodiment of the present application, the length in the front-rear direction of the 1-2 separation portion 132-1 and / or the 1-3 separation portion 133-1 can be changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the 1-2 separation portion 132-1 and / or the 1-3 separation portion 133-1 can be folded so that a portion of the 1-2 separation portion 132-1 and / or the 1-3 separation portion 133-1 is placed on the upper portion of the remaining portion, so that the length in the front-rear direction can be relatively shortened. Alternatively, the 1-2 separation portion 132-1 and / or the 1-3 separation portion 133-1 can be unfolded so that the length in the front-rear direction can be relatively lengthened. Figure 13

[0140] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present application, the direction and position at which the 1-2 separation portion 132-1 and / or the 1-3 separation portion 133-1 discharges air can be changed. For example, the 1-2 separation portion 132-1 and / or the 1-3 separation portion 133-1 can discharge air downward from the front region in the front-rear direction of the first internal space IS1 of the first care device 10, or can discharge air forward from the middle region in the front-rear direction of the first internal space IS1 of the first care device 10.

[0141] In the present specification, the front region in the front-rear direction of the first internal space IS1 refers to the front side region when the first internal space IS1 is divided into three regions in the front-rear direction. In addition, the middle region in the front-rear direction of the first internal space IS1 refers to the middle region when the first internal space IS1 is divided into three regions in the front-rear direction. In addition, the rear region in the front-rear direction of the first internal space IS1 refers to the rear side region when the first internal space IS1 is divided into three regions in the front-rear direction.

[0142] Each of the plurality of internal panels 161, 162, 163, 164 can be disposed on the upper side of the rear of each region divided by the plurality of separation portions 131-1, 132-1, 133-1. A flow path for air movement and a space in which an air discharge fan is disposed can be formed between each of the plurality of internal panels 161, 162, 163, 164 and the first case 11. In addition, each of the plurality of internal panels 161, 162, 163, 164 can be disposed to form an acute angle with the inner surface of the first case 11. That is, each of the plurality of internal panels 161, 162, 163, 164 can be disposed so that the upper end is located forward of the lower end.

[0143] ​Furthermore, each of the plurality of internal panels 161, 162, 163, and 164 may be formed with an internal panel discharge portion. Specifically, each of the plurality of internal panels 161, 162, 163, and 164 discharges air in a downwardly inclined direction from the rearward region of the first internal space IS1 (more specifically, each of the plurality of partitions). The direction of the discharged air can be adjusted by the relative positions of the discharge fan and the internal panel discharge portion located behind the plurality of internal panels 161, 162, 163, and 164.

[0144] Figure 14 1 is a perspective view of a shoe care device in a state where the 1st-2nd separation part 132 - 1 is unfolded. The 1st-2nd separation part 132 - 1 may include a first plate 1321 , a second plate 1322 and a plate connecting part 1323 .

[0145] The first plate 1321 can be fixed to the first box body (( Figure 13 11). Although not shown, according to an embodiment, the first plate 1321 may be directly fixed to the first box body ( Figure 13 More specifically, the first plate 1321 may be formed by a first housing (( Figure 13 The rear of the first internal space IS1 formed by 11) is fixed to the first box ( Figure 13 11).

[0146] The second plate 1322 may be connected to the first plate 1321 via the plate connection portion 1323. In the unfolded state, the second plate 1322 may be disposed in front of the first plate 1321.

[0147] The plate connection portion 1323 may be rotatably coupled to the first plate 1321 and the second plate 1322 , respectively.

[0148] Figure 15 1 is a cross-sectional view of the shoe care device according to one embodiment of the present invention, showing the 1-2 separation portion 132-1 expanded. Figure 16 yes Figure 15 An enlarged view of section 132A.

[0149] A first plate flow path AP1 may be formed inside the first plate 1321, and a second plate flow path AP2 may be formed inside the second plate 1322. A second plate discharge portion 13224 for discharging air may be formed on the bottom surface of the second plate 1322.

[0150] The plate connecting portion 1323 can be rotatably connected to the front upper portion of the first plate 1321 and rotatably connected to the rear upper portion of the second plate 1322. As a result, the front upper portion of the first plate 1321 and the rear upper portion of the second plate 1322 are fixed by the plate connecting portion 1323, and in this state, the front lower portion of the first plate 1321 supports the rear lower portion of the second plate 1322, so that the top surface of the second plate 1322 and the top surface of the first plate 1321 can be maintained in a state of forming a surface connected to each other.

[0151] In the unfolded state of the 1-2 separation portion 132-1, the first plate flow path AP1 formed in the first plate 1321 and the second plate flow path AP2 formed in the second plate 1322 can be connected to each other. Therefore, in the unfolded state of the 1-2 separation portion 132-1, air discharged from the electric equipment portion (20) can be discharged to the second plate discharge portion 13224 via the first plate flow path AP1 and the second plate flow path AP2. That is, in the unfolded state of the 1-2 separation portion 132-1, the 1-2 separation portion 132-1 can discharge air to the lower side from the front region of the first internal space IP1. Figure 3

[0152] The first plate flow path AP1 and the second plate flow path AP2 are formed such that the cross-sectional area of the portion that contacts each other in the unfolded state of the 1-2 separation portion 132-1 is larger than the other portions. That is, the first plate flow path AP1 can be formed such that the cross-sectional area of the front end portion is larger than the other portions. Due to this structure, in the unfolded state of the 1-2 separation portion 132-1, air flow from the first plate flow path AP1 to the second plate flow path AP2 can become smooth.

[0153] Figure 17 FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the 1-2 separation portion 132-1 of the shoe care device according to an embodiment of the present application in a folded state, Figure 18 FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the 1-2 separation portion 132-1 of the shoe care device according to an embodiment of the present application in a folded state.

[0154] As described above, the plate connecting portion 1323 can be rotatably connected to the front upper portion of the first plate 1321 and rotatably connected to the rear upper portion of the second plate 1322. Therefore, the second plate 1322 can be rotated toward the upper side with the plate connecting portion 1323 as an axis. In the folded state of the 1-2 separation portion 132-1, the second plate 1322 can be positioned at the upper portion of the first plate 1321. The front surface of the first plate 1321 can be formed with a first plate discharge portion 13214 that discharges air.

[0155] In the folded state of the 1-2 separation portion 132-1, air discharged from the electric equipment portion (20) can be discharged to the first plate discharge portion 13214 via the first plate flow path AP1. Figure 3 ​The air discharged from the first plate flow path AP1 is discharged to the first plate discharge portion 13214. That is, in the state in which the first-2 separation portion 132-1 is folded, the first plate 132-1 discharges air toward the front from the middle region in the front-rear direction of the first internal space IS1. In addition, as described above, the first plate flow path AP1 can have a structure in which the cross-sectional area widens as it approaches the first plate discharge portion 13214. Therefore, the air discharged from the first plate discharge portion 13214 can be diffused more widely.

Therefore, the air discharged from the second discharge portion 35 can also be discharged in a shape that is narrow front-to-back width and long left-to-right length. As a result, the air discharged from the second discharge portion 35 can more easily flow into the upper portion of the second internal space IS2 formed by the second housing 31.

[0178] Furthermore, as described above, the front-back angle of at least one of the plurality of second separation portions 331 , 332 , and 333 can be varied. Therefore, the air flow in the second internal space IS2 can be varied and active.

[0179] A circulation filter 36 may be disposed on the inner wall of the second housing 31. The circulation filter 36 may be configured so that air flows in from its lower side and out from its upper side. In one embodiment, the shoe care device of one embodiment of the present invention includes a small fan within the circulation filter 36, thereby further enabling air to flow therethrough.

[0180] A front exhaust portion 37 may be formed on the upper front surface of the second housing 31. The air in the second internal space IS2 may be exhausted to the outside of the shoe care device 1 through the front exhaust portion 37.

[0181] Figure 23 yes Figure 22 The cross-sectional view of the second shoe care device according to one embodiment of the present invention is a diagram for explaining the circulation of air in the second shoe care device 30 . Figure 23 The arrows in the figure indicate the path of air flow.

[0182] At least a portion of rear ends of the plurality of second separation portions 331 , 332 , and 333 may be separated from the inner surface of the second housing 31 .

[0183] According to one embodiment of the present invention, whenever the air ((air_in)) flowing into the second internal space IS2 through the second discharge portion 35 collides with the rear end of each of the multiple second separation portions 331, 332, 333, a portion can flow forward along the bottom surfaces of the multiple second separation portions 331, 332, 333 ((air_f1, air_f2, air_f3), and a portion can flow upward between the rear ends of the multiple second separation portions 331, 332, 333 and the inner surface of the second box body 31 ((air_u1, air_u2, air_u3).

[0184] In addition, the air ((air_u1)) ((i.e., the air passing through the 2-1 separation portion 331 and the inner surface of the second box body 31) that moves to the uppermost layer of the second inner space among the air flowing in the second inner space formed by the second box body 31 flows forward along the upper inner surface of the second box body 31 ((air_f0)), and a part of it can be discharged to the outside of the shoe care device through the front exhaust portion 37 (air_out).

[0185] That is, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the position where the air flows into the second internal space IS2 and the position where the air is discharged to the outside of the second internal space IS2 can be arranged in a diagonal direction. More specifically, as Figure 22 As shown in FIG. 1 , air can flow into the second internal space IS2 through the rear lower edge of the second internal space IS2 and be discharged outside the second internal space IS2 through the front upper edge of the second internal space IS2. With this structure, air flow can be generated in most areas of the second internal space IS2.

[0186] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the second outlet 35 has a long horizontal length and a short front-to-back length, and a portion of the rear ends of the plurality of second separation portions 331, 332, and 333 can be separated from the inner surface of the second housing 31. Therefore, more air can flow into the upper portion of the second internal space IS2.

[0187] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the front-to-back angle of at least a portion of the plurality of second separation portions 331, 332, and 333 can be varied. In this case, the air flow in each partition separated by the plurality of second separation portions 331, 332, and 333 can be varied, thereby improving ventilation and dehumidification efficiency.

[0188] Figure 24is a view showing the configuration of a first discharge portion 15 of a first care device 10 and a second discharge portion 35 of a second care device 30 of a shoe care device according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0196] Figure 26 is a view for explaining air flow in the case of another embodiment of the first discharge portion shown in FIG. 6. Figure 25

[0197] As described above, air flow flowing into the second internal space IS2 and air flow discharged from the second internal space IS2 can be separated by the second air flow diverter 352-1. More specifically, the second air flow diverter 352-1 can allow air flow (air_in-1) moving from the electric equipment portion 20 to the second internal space IS2 to be formed along the rear side inner surface of the second case 31, and allow air flow (air_out-1) moving from the second internal space IS2 to the electric equipment portion 20 to be formed along the lower side inner surface of the second case 31.

[0198] Figure 27 is a view more specifically showing the circulation filter 36 of the shoe care device 1 of an embodiment of the present application shown in FIG. 5, Figure 22 is an exploded perspective view of the circulation filter 36. The circulation filter 36 can include a filter frame 361, a photocatalytic filter 362, a first light source portion 3631, a second light source portion 3632, a flow path tube counter structure 364, a circulation flow path tube 365, and an air flow biasing ornament 366. Figure 28 The arrows in the view indicate air flow. Figure 27

[0199] The filter frame 361 can be inserted into the inner side surface of the second case 31. That is, a groove for disposing the filter frame 361 can be formed in the inner side surface of the second case 31, and the filter frame 361 can be inserted into the groove. The filter frame 361 can have a quadrangular shape with an intermediate portion open, and can perform a function of fixing the photocatalytic filter 362.

[0200] The photocatalytic filter 362 is inserted into the filter frame 361, and can be fixed by the filter frame 361. The photocatalytic filter 362 can be activated by light, and remove a pollution source contacting a surface thereof.

[0201] ​​​​The first light source portion 3631 and the second light source portion 3632 can be disposed between the filter frame 361 and the second internal space IS2. The first light source portion 3631 and the second light source portion 3632 can be disposed to face each other. As shown in the drawing, the first light source portion 3631 is disposed adjacent to the upper frame of the filter frame 361, and can irradiate light to the lower side, and the second light source portion 3632 is disposed adjacent to the lower frame of the filter frame 361, and can irradiate light to the upper side.

[0202] The flow path tube opposing structure 364 can have a quadrangular panel shape with an intermediate portion open. The flow path tube opposing structure 364 can be disposed between the first light source portion 3631 and the second light source portion 3632 and the second internal space IS2.

[0203] The circulation flow path tube 365 can form an outer appearance of the circulation filter 36. The circulation flow path tube 365 can be combined with the flow path tube opposing structure 364. In addition, the circulation flow path tube 365 can have a shape symmetrical in the up-and-down direction.

[0204] The flow path tube opposing structure 364 and the circulation flow path tube 365, which are combined with each other, can form an outer portion of a flow path through which air flows.

[0205] The air flow direction decoration 366 can be disposed at an intermediate portion of the circulation flow path tube 365. An outer surface of the air flow direction decoration 366 and an inner surface of the circulation flow path tube 365 can form a flow path through which air flows.

[0206] The air flow direction decoration 366 can have a shape asymmetrical in the up-and-down direction. More specifically, the air flow direction decoration 366 can be formed such that an area of a flow path of air formed between a top surface of the air flow direction decoration 366 and the circulation flow path tube 365 is greater than an area of a flow path of air formed between a bottom surface of the air flow direction decoration 366 and the circulation flow path tube 365.

[0207] That is, according to an embodiment of the present application, the circulation filter 36 has a lower side opening and an upper side opening when viewed from the front. At this time, the area of the upper side opening is greater than the area of the lower side opening. Due to this structure, the lower side opening of the circulation filter 36 can become an inlet of a flow of air, and the upper side opening of the circulation filter 36 can become an air discharge portion. Thus, the circulation filter 36 can appropriately utilize the entire air flow within the second internal space IS2 formed by the second housing 31, and thus can more effectively remove a source of pollution.
