[0002] In modern life, indoor air quality has a direct impact on people's health. With rapid industrialization and urbanization, air pollution has become increasingly serious, and people's demand for indoor air purification is also growing. While traditional air purifiers can filter out particulate matter in the air, their ability to detect pollutants such as tiny dust particles and bacteria is limited.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 The dust display assembly 100 provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described. The dust display assembly 100 includes a light source 110 and a light-blocking plate 120. The light-blocking plate 120 encloses and forms a visible area 140, and the light 130 emitted by the light source 110 illuminates the visible area 140.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the dust display component 100 provided in this application embodiment can intuitively display the distribution of dust in the air, allowing users to directly observe the purification effect of the air purifier. By setting the light-blocking plate 120, light leakage 130 can be reduced, and the light 130 emitted by the light source 110 can be concentrated in the visible area 140, improving the brightness of the visible area 140 and making dust particles more visible in the visible area 140, further enhancing the user's perception of air quality.

[0048] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1The dust detection assembly 100 also includes a lens 150; light 130 emitted from the light source 110 is projected through the lens 150 into the visible area 140; such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, there are three light-blocking plates 120, which together form a groove structure 160. The internal space of the groove structure 160 forms a visible area 140. The open end 161 of the groove structure 160 is positioned opposite to the lens 150.

[0049] In this embodiment, by providing a lens 150, the light 130 emitted by the light source 110 can be diffused, allowing the light 130 to fill the entire visible area 140, further improving the brightness and uniformity of the visible area 140. Furthermore, the use of the lens 150 can adjust the focusing degree of the light 130 as needed, thereby adapting to different sizes of visible areas 140, making the dust detection assembly 100 more widely applicable.

[0050] Specifically, lens 150 can be made of a variety of different materials, such as glass or plastic. The shape of lens 150 can be either convex or concave, depending on the focusing requirements of light 130. In some embodiments, lens 150 can be adjustable, allowing a user to adjust the focusing and diffusion of light 130 according to personal visual preferences or specific observation conditions.

[0051] In this embodiment, by providing the groove structure 160, the light 130 can be effectively guided, reducing the scattering of the light 130 and allowing the light 130 to be more concentratedly illuminating the visible area 140. The opening end 161 of the groove structure 160 is positioned opposite to the lens 150, ensuring that the light 130 can smoothly enter the visible area 140.

[0052] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 The dust detection assembly 100 also includes a reflector 180, which is disposed on the side of the light-blocking plate 120 facing the light source, and the light is reflected multiple times on the reflector 180.

[0053] In this embodiment, by setting a reflector 180, the light 130 emitted by the light source 110 can be effectively reflected, enhancing the brightness within the visible area 140. The use of the reflector 180 not only improves light efficiency but also reduces the possibility of the light source 110 directly shining into the user's eyes, thereby protecting the user's vision. The reflector 180 can be made of a high-reflectivity material, such as aluminum or silver, to ensure maximum reflection of the light 130. In some cases, the reflector 180 can also be designed to be adjustable, allowing the user to adjust the reflection direction of the light 130 according to different viewing angles and positions, further enhancing the user experience of the dust detection assembly 100.

[0054] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to [the relevant document / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Multiple light-blocking plates 120 are provided, and the multiple light-blocking plates 120 enclose a polygonal structure 170. The internal space of the polygonal structure 170 forms a visible area 140; such as Figure 5 As shown, one side of the polygonal structure 170 is provided with a light inlet 171, and the light 130 emitted by the light source 110 shines into the visible area 140 through the light inlet 171.

[0055] In this embodiment, by setting the polygonal structure 170, the leakage of light 130 can be further reduced, and the structural stability can be improved. The design of the light inlet 171 allows light 130 to directly enter the interior of the polygon, and at the same time, through the focusing effect of the lens 150, the light 130 is evenly distributed within the visible area 140. In addition, the four light-blocking plates 120 of the polygonal structure 170 can be designed to be detachable or adjustable, so that users can adjust the size or shape of the visible area 140 as needed, thereby adapting to the usage requirements in different environments.

[0056] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 5 Two reflectors 180 are provided, and the two reflectors 180 are respectively set on two parallel and opposite light-blocking plates 120. The light 130 is reflected multiple times on the two reflectors 180.

[0057] In this embodiment, by setting two reflectors 180, the light 130 can be effectively reflected, causing the light 130 to be reflected multiple times within the polygon, thereby enhancing the brightness and uniformity of the light 130 within the visible area 140. This design not only improves the luminous efficiency of the dust display component 100, but also reduces the possibility of the light 130 being directly emitted through multiple reflections, further protecting the user's eyesight.

[0058] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to [the relevant document / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The reflector 180 has multiple parts, which cover the inner surface of the polygonal structure 170. The light 130 is reflected multiple times by the multiple reflectors 180.

[0059] In this embodiment, by setting multiple reflectors 180, the light 130 can be reflected omnidirectionally within the polygonal structure 170, thereby significantly improving the brightness and uniformity within the visible area 140. Four reflectors 180 are evenly distributed on the inner surface of the polygonal structure 170, ensuring that the light 130 is effectively reflected and utilized in all directions. This design not only enhances the illumination effect of the dust display component 100 but also further protects the user's eyesight by reducing the direct emission of light 130.

[0060] Furthermore, each reflector 180 can be independently adjusted to adapt to different viewing angles and positions, ensuring that users can obtain the best visual experience regardless of the viewing angle. In some embodiments, the surface of the reflector 180 can be designed to have specific reflective properties, such as a surface with microstructures, to achieve specific light distribution effects, such as enhancing the uniformity of light 130 or the brightness of specific areas.

[0061] Specifically, four light-blocking plates 120 are provided, forming a quadrilateral structure. The quadrilateral structure has a first inner surface 172 and a second inner surface 173. The first inner surface 172 and the second inner surface 173 are two parallel and opposite inner surfaces, one of which has a light inlet 171. Correspondingly, four reflectors 180 can be provided, covering the inner surface of the box structure.

[0062] In one embodiment of this application, the light source 110 is a laser or an LED light.

[0063] In this embodiment, a laser or LED light source 110 is used, which features high brightness and long lifespan, making it suitable for continuous operation over extended periods. The laser light source 110 provides more concentrated light 130, resulting in clearer visibility of dust particles, while the LED light source 110, with its energy-saving and environmentally friendly advantages, is the preferred choice for the current dust display component 100 design. In this embodiment, the selection of the light source 110 considers both the performance requirements and cost-effectiveness of the dust display component 100, ensuring its applicability and economic efficiency in different environments.

[0064] In one embodiment of this application, the light 130 emitted by the light source 110 is in the shape of a dot, rectangle, or fan.

[0065] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the light 130 emitted by the light source 110 is dot-shaped, rectangular, or fan-shaped, allowing the light 130 to cover a wider area and adapt to visible spaces of different shapes and sizes. By adjusting the shape of the light 130, the dust detection assembly 100 can more flexibly adapt to various usage scenarios, providing uniform and sufficient illumination in both small spaces and large areas.

[0066] In another embodiment of this application, the light ray 130 emitted by the light source 110 is elliptical in shape. The elliptical distribution of the light ray 130 can cover a wider area, allowing the dust display assembly 100 to effectively display dust distribution over a larger space. Furthermore, the use of the elliptical light ray 130 can reduce brightness attenuation at the edges of the light ray 130, maintaining brightness consistency across the entire visible area 140, thereby providing a more uniform viewing experience.

[0067] In another embodiment, the dust display assembly 100 further includes a control unit connected to the light source 110 for controlling the switching of the light source 110 and the brightness of the light 130. The control unit can be manual or automatic. An automatic control unit can automatically adjust the brightness of the light source 110 according to the intensity of the ambient light 130 or the air quality to achieve the best display effect.

[0068] In one embodiment of this application, the dust detection assembly 100 further includes a moving mechanism connected to the light source 110, used to adjust the distance and relative position between the light source 110 and the light-blocking plate 120. The moving mechanism can be electric (such as an electric push rod, cylinder, etc.) or manual, and can change the illumination angle and intensity of the light 130 by adjusting the position of the light source 110.

[0069] In another embodiment of this application, the moving mechanism may also be connected to the lens 150 to adjust the position and angle of the lens 150 to optimize the focusing effect of the light 130 within the visible area 140.

[0070] This application also provides an air purifier; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The air purifier includes a purifier body 200 and the aforementioned dust detection component 100; the dust detection component 100 is installed on the purifier body 200.

[0071] Compared with the prior art, the air purifier provided in this application, by installing a dust display component 100 on the purifier body 200, allows users to not only understand the air quality through the dust display component 100, but also observe the actual dust distribution, thus gaining an intuitive understanding of the air purifier's performance. This design not only improves the practicality of the air purifier but also enhances the user experience.

[0072] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 6 The dust detection component 100 is installed at the air inlet 210 or air outlet 220 of the purifier body 200; or, the dust detection component 100 is installed on the side wall of the purifier body 200.

[0073] In this embodiment, the dust detection component 100 is installed at the air inlet 210 of the purifier body 200, allowing observation of the process of dust being drawn in, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the air inlet 210 can be a mesh structure with multiple holes; the dust display component 100 is installed at the air outlet 220 of the purifier body 200, and the output air quality can be judged by whether dust is observed; the dust display component 100 is installed on the side wall of the purifier body 200, and the air quality of the side wall can also be judged by the amount of dust observed.

[0074] In one embodiment of this application, the dust display component 100 is installed at the air inlet 210, air outlet 220, side wall, or any position of the purifier body 200. Alternatively, multiple dust display components 100 may be provided, for example, dust display components 100 may be provided at the air inlet 210, air outlet 220, and side wall of the purifier body 200.

[0075] In this embodiment, the dust display component 100 can be located either outside or inside the purifier body 200. When the dust display component 100 is located outside the purifier body 200, the user can directly see the dust particles in the air, thus providing an immediate assessment of the air purifier's purification effect. When the dust display component 100 is located inside the purifier body 200, the light emitted by the dust display component 100 can be prevented from directly shining on the user, reducing potential harm to the user's eyes.

[0076] In one embodiment of this application, the dust display component 100 may be designed with a dark color at the installation position of the purifier body 200, which can better highlight the dust illuminated by light and make the dust easier to observe.

[0077] In another embodiment of this application, the air purifier further includes a filtration system (not shown) comprising at least one filter layer for filtering dust and pollutants from the air. The filtration system can be a conventional HEPA filter, an electrostatic adsorption filter, or other types of filtration technology. By combining the dust display component 100 and the filtration system, the air purifier not only purifies the air but also allows users to visually observe the purification effect, thereby increasing user trust and satisfaction.

[0078] In another embodiment of this application, the dust display assembly 100 further includes one or more sensors (not shown) for detecting the number and size of dust particles within the visible area 140. These sensors may be optical sensors, such as laser scattering sensors or photoresist sensors, which can provide real-time data on air quality. The sensor data can be combined with the visual display of the dust display assembly 100 to provide the user with more comprehensive air quality information.

[0079] In addition, the dust detection unit 100 may also be equipped with a wireless communication module (not shown), such as a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi module, enabling the dust detection unit 100 to wirelessly transmit the collected air quality data to the user's smartphone or other smart devices. This allows the user to remotely monitor the air purifier's operating status and indoor air quality even when not physically present.

[0080] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application.
