[0033] Through the above structure, the HEPA filter screen sealing and fixing assembly of the air purifier provided by the present application has the following advantages when in use:

[0034] When installing the HEPA filter screen 2, the positioning slot 203 at the bottom of the outer frame 201 is aligned with the positioning pin 301 at the top of the bearing ring 3, so that the positioning pin 301 slides into the corresponding positioning slot 203, providing precise positioning for the installation of the HEPA filter screen 2 and guiding the HEPA filter screen 2 to be installed to the correct position. Then, the gland 6 with the lug handle 15 is rotated, and because the outer threads at the top of the gland 6 are adapted to the inner thread grooves 5 at the top of the purification inner cylinder 1, the upper sealing ring 8 at the bottom of the gland 6 tightly abuts against the top of the outer frame 201 during the rotation of the gland 6 into the inner thread grooves 5.
