[0040] This utility model proposes an air purifier.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 8 ,in, Figures 1 to 2 The middle support leg is installed on the bottom surface of the casing. Figure 3 The supporting legs were hidden. Figure 4 The internal structure of the casing is displayed (parts of the casing panel and purification module are hidden). Figure 3 and Figure 4 The storage compartment in the middle did not hold any accessories. Figures 5 to 7 This diagram illustrates the accessories being stored in the storage compartment.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the air purifier includes a housing 100, a fan 200, a purification module, a support 300, and accessories. The housing 100 is provided with an air duct 101, an air inlet 103, and an air outlet 104. A storage groove 110 is provided on the outer surface of the housing 100. The fan 200 is disposed within the air duct 101. The housing 100 and the components installed inside the housing 100 (including the fan 200) together constitute the main body of the air purifier. The purification module is disposed within the air duct and is correspondingly positioned at the air inlet or air outlet.

[0043] The accessories include a power connector 400 and / or a remote control. It should be noted that the main body of the power connector 400 can be either a standard power plug that does not change the voltage or current, or a power plug with an adapter that can change the voltage or current. It is understood that regardless of the form, the power connector 400 typically includes a cable. In this embodiment, the power connector 400 includes a power plug 401 with an adapter and a cable 402. One end of the cable 402 is connected to the power plug 401, and the other end of the cable 402 can be detachably plugged into the power interface of the air purifier.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The support member 300 is detachably mounted to the housing 100, and at least one accessory and / or the support member 300 detached from the housing 100 can be received in the storage slot 110. That is, either one or a part of the support member 300, the power connector 400, and the remote control can be received in the storage slot 110, or all of these components can be received in the storage slot 110. For example, in this embodiment, both the support member 300 and the power connector 400 can be received in the storage slot 110, but the remote control is not received in the storage slot.

[0045] Thus, when packaging the air purifier as a whole unit, accessories and / or support components 300 can be housed within the storage slot 110, reducing the overall dimensions of the packaging box and consequently the overall packaging size, thereby lowering warehousing and logistics costs. When the user receives the product, the accessories and / or support components 300 can be removed from the storage slot 110 for use, improving the ease of use of the device.

[0046] The support member 300 can be installed on the bottom surface of the housing 100, or on the side or top surface of the housing 100. For example, taking a floor-standing air purifier as an example, the support member 300 is installed on the bottom surface of the housing 100 and supports the housing 100 between it and the ground, so that the bottom surface of the housing 100 can be suspended above the ground. In this case, the support member 300 protrudes at least partially from the bottom surface of the housing 100 when in use. If the product is packaged directly in this state, the outer dimensions of the packaging box need to be made larger to cover and protect the part of the support member 300 that protrudes from the bottom surface of the housing 100. In this embodiment, since the support member 300 can be removed from the housing 100, it can be removed and stored in the storage slot 110 before product packaging, so as to reduce the size of the part of the support member 300 protruding from the bottom surface of the housing 100, or even completely avoid the support member 300 protruding from the bottom surface of the housing 100, thereby enabling the outer contour size of the packaging box to be smaller.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the support member 300 can also be installed on the side or top surface of the housing 100. For example, taking a wall-mounted air purifier as an example, one end of the support member 300 is installed on the side or top surface of the housing 100, and the other end is connected to the wall to install the air purifier on the wall. It can be understood that in this case, a portion of the support member 300 also protrudes from the side or top surface of the housing 100. If the product in this state is directly packaged, the outer dimensions of the packaging box will also need to be larger.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 Optionally, the support member 300 includes at least two support legs 310, which are spaced apart on the bottom surface of the housing 100. In this embodiment, two support legs 310 are provided and are spaced apart along the length of the housing 100. Thus, by using the two support legs 310 as the support structure for the housing 100, the stability of the device can be improved.

[0049] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 7 Optionally, the storage slot 110 is located on the bottom surface of the housing 100, in the gap between the two support legs 310. Thus, the storage slot 110 is not exposed during normal use, improving the aesthetic appearance of the device. Secondly, the storage slot 110 is located between the two support legs 310, meaning the support legs 310 can be directly mounted on the bottom surface of the housing 100, which helps to reduce the size of the support legs 310.

[0050] Of course, in other embodiments, the storage slot 110 is located on the top or side surface of the housing 100. For example, in another embodiment, the storage slot 110 and the air outlet 104 are located on the same side surface of the housing 100, with the storage slot 110 located to the side, above, or below the air outlet 104. That is, the storage slot 110 is located in the area on the side surface of the housing 100 where the air outlet 104 is not located, thereby making full use of the internal space of the housing 100.

[0051] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 8 Optionally, the support leg 310 includes a mounting portion 311 and at least two support portions 312, with the at least two support portions 312 disposed on opposite sides of the mounting portion 311 along a first direction. The mounting portion 311 is detachably connected to the housing 100. Thus, the structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0052] In this configuration, the end of the support portion 312 furthest from the mounting portion 311 may protrude from the side of the housing 100. That is, both ends of the support leg 310 extend beyond the side of the housing 100, and the area enclosed by the contact points between the four ends of the two support legs 310 and the ground is larger than the bottom surface area of ​​the housing 100. This increases the contact area between the equipment and the ground, thereby improving the stability of the equipment. Of course, in other embodiments, the support leg 310 may also adopt other structural forms. For example, the support leg 310 may include a mounting portion 311 and an annular portion connected to the lower side of the mounting portion 311, the annular portion being used for support on the ground.

[0053] Optionally, one of the mounting part 311 and the housing 100 is provided with a latching protrusion 120, and the other corresponding to the latching protrusion 120 is provided with a latching hole 313, wherein the latching protrusion 120 can engage with the latching hole 313. See also... Figure 3 and Figure 8The housing 100 may have a latching protrusion 120, and the mounting portion 311 may have a latching hole 313. This results in a simple structure that is easy to install and disassemble. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the mounting portion 311 may be secured to the housing 100 with screws. Furthermore, one of the mounting portion 311 and the housing 100 may have a latching protrusion 120, and the other may have a corresponding latching hole 313. The latching protrusion 120 can engage with the latching hole 313, and the mounting portion 311 is secured to the housing 100 with screws.

[0054] Optionally, one of the mounting part 311 and the housing 100 is provided with a positioning hole 314, and the other is provided with a positioning protrusion 130. The positioning protrusion 130 can be limited and engaged with the positioning hole 314. Two locking protrusions 120 are provided, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the positioning protrusion 130 along the first direction. For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 The housing 100 may have a positioning protrusion 130, and the mounting part 311 may have a positioning hole 314. This can further improve the installation reliability and stability of the mounting part 311. In addition, the positioning protrusion 130 and the positioning hole 314 can also play a guiding role in the installation process of the support leg 310, so as to facilitate the installation of the support leg 310.

[0055] Please see Figure 6 Optionally, when the support legs 310 are housed in the storage slot 110, there is a clearance interval 113 between the two support legs 310, and at least one accessory is housed in the clearance interval 113. This improves the compactness of the accessory housed in the storage slot 110, maximizing the function of the storage slot 110. Specifically, in this embodiment, the power connector 400 is housed in the clearance interval 113. Of course, in other embodiments, the two support legs 310 may abut against each other without a clearance interval 113.

[0056] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 Optionally, the storage slot 110 includes a central slot section 111 and at least two side slot sections 112. The at least two side slot sections 112 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the central slot section 111. When the support leg 310 is received in the storage slot 110, the mounting portion 311 is at least partially located in the side slot sections 112, and the support portion 312 is at least partially located in the central slot section 111. That is, the side contours of the storage slot 110 are adapted to the outer contour of the support leg 310, allowing a wider clearance interval 113 to be formed between the two support legs 310, which is beneficial for the reception of other accessories. The clearance interval 113 is located in the central slot section 111. Of course, in other embodiments, the opening of the storage slot 110 may also be rectangular or elliptical.

[0057] Please see Figure 4Optionally, the air duct 101 includes a volute 140, and the fan 200 is configured as a centrifugal fan disposed in the volute 140. This results in a simple and easy-to-implement structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the fan 200 can also be configured as a cross-flow fan 200 or an axial flow fan 200, etc.

[0058] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 The volute 140 is provided with a volute tongue 141 corresponding to the air outlet 104. The volute tongue 141 and the bottom wall of the housing 100 are spaced apart to form a clearance space 105. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 110 is recessed at least partially toward the clearance space 105 to form an inner groove 114. The inner groove 114 is used to accommodate at least part of the cable 402 of the power connector 400. In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the receiving groove 110 is recessed inward at the end near the volute tongue 141, and this recessed area can accommodate the cable 402 of the power connector 400. Specifically, the power plug 401 of the power connector 400 is accommodated in the clearance space 113, and the cable 402 of the power connector 400, after being wound, can be inserted into the inner groove 114. In this way, the internal space of the housing 100 can be fully utilized to accommodate accessories and the overall packaging size of the machine can be reduced. Of course, in other embodiments, the bottom wall of the storage groove 110 may not be recessed toward the clearance space 105, but may be set as a flat bottom surface.

[0059] Please see Figures 9 to 11 In some embodiments, the air purifier may optionally include a packaging cushion 500 disposed between the housing 100 and the packaging box (not shown in the figures). The packaging cushion 500 includes a cushioning plate 510 and at least two baffles 520 disposed on the cushioning plate 510. The baffles 520 and the cushioning plate 510 together define a receiving groove 530 for placing accessories and / or supports 300. The receiving groove 530 extends at least partially into the storage groove 110.

[0060] It should be noted that the packaging cushioning pad 500 and the packaging box are both packaging tools and not components required for the normal use of the air purifier. That is, after opening the packaging box, the air purifier and packaging cushioning pad 500, which were originally wrapped inside, will be revealed. After removing the accessories and support components 300 from the packaging cushioning pad 500, the user can choose to discard the packaging box and packaging cushioning pad 500 to avoid them taking up indoor space.
