[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides an air purifier, comprising:
[0049] A housing 10, wherein the housing 10 is provided with an air inlet 11; and
[0050] A filter assembly 2, wherein the filter assembly 2 can be detachably installed on the shell 10, and the filter assembly 2 includes a filter frame 21 and a filter element 23 installed on the filter frame 21, and the filter element 23 is arranged opposite to the air inlet 11. A plurality of limiting protrusions 22 are provided on one of the filter frame 21 and the shell 10, and a plurality of limiting grooves 12 are provided on the other of the two. The plurality of limiting protrusions 22 are continuously formed into a wave shape, and a limiting protrusion 22 is limitedly matched with a limiting groove 12, and the filter frame 21 is connected to the shell 10 through the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 22 and the limiting groove 12.
[0051] The air purifier in the technical solution of the utility model includes a shell 10 and a filter assembly 2. The shell 10 is provided with an air inlet 11. The filter assembly 2 can be detachably installed on the shell 10. The filter assembly 2 includes a filter frame 21 and a filter element 23 installed on the filter frame 21. The filter element 23 is arranged opposite to the air inlet 11. One of the filter frame 21 and the shell 10 is provided with a plurality of limiting protrusions 22, and the other of the two is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 12. The plurality of limiting protrusions 22 are continuously formed into a wave shape. A limiting protrusion 22 is limitedly matched with a limiting groove 12. The filter frame 21 is connected to the shell 10 through the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 22 and the limiting groove 12. By cooperating with multiple limiting protrusions 22 and multiple limiting grooves 12, the filter element 23 assembly can be detachably installed on the shell 10, and at the same time, multiple limiting protrusions 22 and multiple limiting grooves 12 are used for limiting cooperation, thereby reducing the possibility of shaking of the filter element 23 and the filter frame 21 under airflow disturbance, thereby reducing the noise generated by the air purifier, and improving the installation strength of the filter element 23.
[0052] Reference Figures 5 to 12 The plurality of limit protrusions 22 are in an arc-shaped wave shape. The plurality of arc-shaped limit protrusions 22 reduce the possibility of the filter element 23 and the filter frame 21 shaking under airflow disturbance, thereby reducing the noise generated by the air purifier, thereby increasing the service life of the filter element 23 and the user experience.
[0053] Reference Figure 7 , Fig.10 as well as Fig.12 , the plurality of limiting protrusions 22 include at least one first limiting protrusion 221 and at least one second limiting protrusion 222, the first limiting protrusion 221 and the second limiting protrusion 222 are arranged alternately one by one, and the height of the first limiting protrusion 221 is higher than the height of the second limiting protrusion 222. It should be noted that at this time, the limiting groove 12 also includes a first limiting groove 12 and a second limiting groove 12, the first limiting groove 12 and the first limiting protrusion 221 are adapted, and the second limiting groove 12 and the second limiting protrusion 222 are adapted. By setting the first limiting protrusion 221 and the second limiting protrusion 222 to different heights, the possibility of the filter element 23 and the filter frame 21 shaking under airflow disturbance is further reduced, thereby further reducing the noise generated by the air purifier, thereby improving the service life of the filter element 23 and the user's experience. Of course, in other embodiments, at least two limiting protrusions 22 among the plurality of limiting protrusions 22 may have different heights.
[0054] Reference Figures 13 to 15 , the plurality of limiting protrusions 22 are in a sawtooth wave shape; refer to Figures 16 to 18, or multiple limiting protrusions 22 are in a trapezoidal wave shape. It can be understood that the zigzag or trapezoidal wave-shaped limiting protrusions 22 reduce the possibility of the filter element 23 and the filter frame 21 shaking under airflow disturbance, thereby further reducing the noise generated by the air purifier, thereby improving the service life of the filter element 23 and the user experience. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple limiting protrusions 22 can also be partially zigzag and partially trapezoidal.
[0055] Reference Figures 19 to 21 , the plurality of limiting protrusions 22 are all hemispherical, and two adjacent limiting protrusions 22 are arranged at intervals. Through the plurality of hemispherical limiting protrusions 22, the possibility of the filter element 23 and the filter frame 21 shaking under airflow disturbance is reduced, thereby further reducing the noise generated by the air purifier, thereby improving the service life of the filter element 23 and the user experience. Among them, the hemispherical limiting protrusions 22 can be arranged at intervals or connected to each other.
[0056] Reference Figures 5 to 7 , Fig.13 , Fig.16 as well as Fig.19 The filter element 23 is cylindrical, and the plurality of limiting protrusions 22 are all arranged around one end of the axis of the filter element 23. By arranging a plurality of limiting protrusions 22 around one end of the axis of the filter element 23, the filter element 23 is fixed in an all-round manner, thereby reducing the possibility of the filter element 23 and the filter frame 21 shaking under airflow disturbance, thereby further reducing the noise generated by the air purifier.
[0057] Furthermore, a guide groove 231 is provided on the outer circumference of the filter element 23, and a guide protrusion is provided on the housing 10, and the filter element 23 is limited in the housing 10 by the cooperation between the guide protrusion and the guide groove 231. By providing the guide groove 231 and the guide protrusion, on the one hand, the limiting protrusion 22 and the corresponding limiting groove 12 can be accurately matched, thereby reducing the time for calibrating the limiting protrusion 22 and the limiting groove 12, thereby improving the installation time and the work efficiency.
[0058] Specifically, the filter frame 21 includes a first filter frame 211 and a second filter frame 212, the first filter frame 211 and the second filter frame 212 are respectively connected to the two ends of the axis of the filter element 23, and the plurality of limit protrusions 22 are all arranged at one end of the first filter frame 211 away from the second filter frame 212. The filter element 23 is a material for filtering air, and its material can be activated carbon, PP cotton, fiber, RO membrane, etc. Therefore, in order to reduce the collision and damage of the filter element 23, the first filter frame 211 and the second filter frame 212 are arranged to reduce the possibility of collision of the filter element 23, thereby increasing the service life of the filter element 23; at the same time, the first filter frame 211 and the second filter frame 212 are used to achieve connection with other objects.
[0059] Furthermore, the guide groove 231 extends along the axial direction of the filter element 23 and penetrates the first filter screen frame 211. When the limiting protrusion 22 abuts against the corresponding limiting groove 12, the end of the second filter screen frame 212 facing the first filter screen frame 211 abuts against the guide protrusion. Thus, the guide groove 231 plays a guiding role and can also play a limiting role through the second filter screen frame 212, so that the filter element 23 can be further accurately installed in the housing 10.
[0060] Reference Figure 8 , Figures 10 to 12 , Fig.14 , Fig.15 , Fig.17 , Fig.18 , Fig. 20 as well as Fig.21 , the filter element 23 is arranged in a square shape, and the plurality of the limiting protrusions 22 are arranged on one side of the width direction of the filter element 23; or the plurality of the limiting protrusions 22 are arranged on one side of the length direction of the filter element 23. Of course, in other embodiments, the filter element 23 can also be a triangle or other irregular shapes, etc., which can be set according to the shape of the air purifier or the position of the air inlet.
[0061] Optionally, the air purifier further includes a filter cover 26, a filter chamber 13 is provided in the housing 10, the filter chamber 13 is communicated with the air inlet 11, and the filter cover 26 is detachably mounted on the housing 10 and is located at the opening of the filter chamber 13. The filter assembly 2 is detachably mounted in the filter chamber 13 of the housing 10 through the filter cover 26. When the filter element 23 needs to be replaced or removed, it is only necessary to remove the filter cover 26. When the filter cover 26 is installed at the opening of the filter chamber 13 of the housing 10, the filter assembly 2 is limitedly mounted in the filter chamber 13 of the housing 10 through the filter cover 26. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the filter cover 26 and the housing 10 can be a screw locking method, or a snap-on connection with a snap-on structure.
[0062] Furthermore, the air purifier further includes a first sealing cotton 24 and a second sealing cotton 25, wherein the first sealing cotton 24 is sandwiched between the limiting protrusion 22 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 12, and the second sealing cotton 25 is sandwiched between the filter frame 21 and the housing 10; and / or, the second sealing cotton 25 is sandwiched between the filter cover 26 and the filter frame 21. Through the first sealing cotton 24 and the second sealing cotton 25, an interference fit is achieved between the filter frame 21 and the housing 10, and / or between the filter frame 21 and the filter cover 26, which reduces the gap between them on the one hand, and also reduces the vibration through the first sealing cotton 24 and the second sealing cotton 25, thereby reducing the noise generated during the operation of the air purifier. Among them, the first sealing cotton 24 is adapted to the shape of the plurality of limiting protrusions 22.
