Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to air purifiers, and more particularly to an air purifier with automatic filter cleaning. Background Technology

[0002] Air purifiers can purify indoor air and filter out air impurities. They usually use a single filter element, which requires frequent replacement with long-term use. Disassembling and assembling air purifier filters is quite troublesome, and the filters cannot be recycled, which is a waste of resources.

[0003] Therefore, existing air purifiers need further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air purifier with automatic filter cleaning, which can have multiple filters working alternately and can clean filters that have stopped working, thus enabling them to be used repeatedly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following solution:

[0006] An air purifier with automatic filter cleaning includes an air purifier body. The air purifier body has a filter inlet and a filter outlet. A rotating mechanism is located within the air purifier body, and the rotating mechanism has three switchable filter assemblies. Each switchable filter assembly has a squeezing mechanism that can compress the switchable filter assembly. The rotating mechanism has three partitions that divide the area above it into three regions. The three switchable filter assemblies are respectively installed in the three regions. A fixed circular plate is located above the rotating mechanism, and the fixed circular plate has an upper through hole that communicates with one of the switchable filter assemblies. An air supply switch structure that delivers air to one of the regions is connected to the filter inlet. One region has a reciprocating control mechanism that controls the squeezing mechanism and a water spray device. Another region has a drying assembly for drying the switchable filter assemblies.

[0007] Furthermore, the air purifier body includes a purifier shell, a fan assembly is disposed inside the purifier shell, an air outlet is disposed on the purifier shell, a spherical control panel is disposed in the middle of the air outlet, the air outlet is connected to the air outlet of the fan assembly, and the air inlet of the fan assembly is connected to the air outlet of the filter element.

[0008] The upper through hole is eccentrically positioned and is connected to the air inlet of the fan assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the switchable filter assembly consists of three parts, each disposed in one of the three regions.

[0012] Furthermore, the switchable filter element assembly includes a filter element mounting base disposed in a corresponding area, a filter element is installed in the filter element mounting base, and a plurality of locking screws for pressing the outer surface of the filter element are provided on the filter element mounting base.

[0013] Furthermore, the extrusion mechanism includes vertical guide rods disposed on both sides of the filter element fixing seat, and also includes a movable mounting ring. The movable mounting ring is sleeved on the upper circumferential outer wall of the filter element. The movable mounting ring is provided with a plurality of locking screws for pressing the outer surface of the filter element. Guide holes are provided on both sides of the movable mounting ring, and the vertical guide rods are correspondingly inserted into one of the guide holes.

[0014] Furthermore, the air supply switch structure includes multiple connecting through holes eccentrically disposed on the circular base plate, and each region of the rotating circular plate is provided with a switch through hole that can connect with the multiple connecting through holes.

[0015] Furthermore, the reciprocating control mechanism includes a vertical guide groove disposed on the annular wall panel, a square rotary motor disposed in the vertical guide groove, an adjusting screw disposed at the output end of the square rotary motor, a vertical sliding member disposed vertically in the vertical guide groove, an adjusting screw hole disposed on the vertical sliding member, the adjusting screw hole being sleeved on the adjusting screw and threadedly connected, a C-shaped retaining member disposed on the vertical sliding member, a connecting plate disposed on the movable mounting ring that can be fitted into the C-shaped retaining member, and a control button disposed within the C-shaped retaining member.

[0016] Furthermore, when the connecting plate rotates into the C-shaped clip, it presses the control button, which then sends a wireless signal to the control terminal. The control terminal then sends a command to the square rotary motor to start working.

[0017] When the connecting plate rotates out of the C-shaped clip, the control button resets and sends a wireless signal to the control terminal. The control terminal then sends a command to the square rotating motor to stop working and resets the C-shaped clip to its original height.

After use, the filter is automatically connected to a squeezing mechanism and a water spray device to rinse and squeeze it, achieving automatic cleaning. It can also enter a drying chamber to dry for future use, avoiding frequent replacements, saving manpower and resources, and is simple in structure and easy to use. Attached Figure Description
