[0247] Figure 9 From and Figure 8 Cross-sectional views of the seat assembly taken from different directions are used to illustrate the connection relationship between the upper and lower parts. (Refer to...) Figure 9 Explain the structure of the upper and lower parts.

[0248] The upper portion 250 is held in its position above the lower portion 210 by means of a bushing 290. The upper portion 250 is configured to move vertically above the lower portion 210. The bushing 290 restricts the vertical movement of the upper portion 250.

[0249] With the upper portion 250 positioned above the lower portion 210, the bushing 290 can be mounted on the protrusion 242 formed on the lower portion 210. When the bushing 290 is mounted on the protrusion 242, the intermediate plate 280 of the upper portion 250 can be configured to contact the weight sensor 244 of the lower portion 210.

[0250] The intermediate plate 280 can be fixedly configured on the inside of the seat cover 266.

[0251] When the upper part 250 is positioned above the lower part 210, the pressure portion 284 of the intermediate plate 280 can be configured to contact the upper side of the weight sensor 244.

[0252] The upper part 250 is positioned above the lower part 210. The upper part 250 is held in place by the intermediate plate 280, the protrusion 242, and the bushing 290. The upper part 250 is positioned above the lower part 210 so that it can move vertically.

[0253] The intermediate plate 280 is configured separately from the printed circuit board 246. Therefore, even when the upper part 250 moves vertically, the intermediate plate 280 will not come into contact with the printed circuit board 246.

[0254] The pressure section 284 of the intermediate plate 280 is configured to contact the weight sensor 244. When the pet is located on the upper side of the upper portion 250, at least one of the plurality of pressure sections 284 can apply pressure to the corresponding weight sensor 244. Therefore, the weight of the pet located on the upper side of the upper portion 250 can be measured.

[0255] When a force is applied to one side of the upward portion 250, the upper portion 250 of the area to which the force is applied can move downward. At this time, the intermediate plate 280 disposed on one side also moves downward.

[0256] When the air purifier 1 is located on the upper side of the main body 100 and the pet is located on the seat 200, it can also perform air purification operation.

[0257] Furthermore, by placing the resting space at a higher elevation, the likelihood of pets entering the resting area is further increased. In particular, reflecting the characteristics of cats who like to climb to high places, the upper part of the air purifier 1 incorporates a space shape where cats can rest.

[0258] The seat 200 is at a height similar to that of a bed, providing a resting space at eye level with the pet owner. This increases the pet's happiness and comfort.

[0259] According to this utility model, a single product can provide both a resting space for pets and an air purification function, with the advantage of not requiring the use of other products.

[0260] In addition, reflecting cats' love of curling up and warm spaces, the air purifier 1 provides a heating function using the heater 264.

[0261] In addition, the device incorporates functions such as measuring cat weight and usage time, naturally tracking the cat's daily routines. Cat owners can use this information for their cat's health management. The measured data can be viewed and managed through the app.

[0262] The air purifier 1 offers various functions such as pet weight measurement, heating, and usage time measurement, and can analyze the pet's condition and lifestyle. Users can run an application on their mobile devices to check real-time weight measurement results, weight measurement history, and control the heating temperature.

[0263] Figures 10 to 13 The figure is referenced in the description of the conversion guide and airflow of the seat device according to an embodiment of this utility model.

[0264] Figure 12 and Figure 13 This is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the conversion guide of the seat device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 12Examples of airflow that may occur when there is a transition guide are shown. Figure 13 This illustrates the airflow that might occur without a conversion guide.

[0265] Reference Figures 10 to 13 The purified air is discharged through the exhaust port 112 at the upper end of the main body 100. If the air purification operation starts, the fan 140 inside the main body 100 rotates. The air flowing into the air inlet 106 flows through the filter 101 and is purified. The purified air that has flowed through the filter 101 and been purified is discharged through the exhaust port 112 on the upper side.

[0266] A seat 200 is provided on the upper side of the exhaust port 112. A seat cover 266 can be disposed on the upper side of the lower wall 230. The outer side of the seat cover 266 can be inclined upward more than the outer side of the lower wall 230.

[0267] The seat cover 266 is configured to surround at least one side of the outer periphery of the seat portion 252, which can reduce the direct flow of air into the inside of the seat cover 266.

[0268] However, depending on the airflow and environmental conditions, the air flowing upwards along the seat cover 266 may flow into the pet's resting space 267.

[0269] If the purified air is blown towards the pet, it may disturb the pet's rest. In addition, depending on the pet's breed and temperament, the airflow may cause the pet a lot of stress.

[0270] To further reduce airflow that may blow into the pet's resting space 267, a conversion guide 231 is provided at the lower part of the seat 200. By utilizing the conversion guide 231 located at the lower part of the seat 200, the degree to which airflow caused by the operation of the main body 100 blows into the resting space 267 can be minimized.

[0271] The conversion guide 231 can be disposed on the lower surface of the lower body 211. The lower wall 230 of the lower body 211 can be disposed on the upper side of the exhaust port 112. The conversion guide 231 can be disposed on the lower wall 230.

[0272] The conversion guide 231 can be configured as a ring at the outer peripheral end of the lower wall 230.

[0273] The conversion guide 231 can protrude obliquely from the outer peripheral end of the lower wall 230. The conversion guide 231 can extend downward from the outer peripheral end of the lower wall 230. In addition, the conversion guide 231 can extend radially from the outer peripheral end of the lower wall 230.

[0274] The diameter of the outer periphery of the lower wall 230 can be larger than the diameter of the exhaust port 112. The diameter of the conversion guide 231, which is arranged annularly at the outer periphery of the lower wall 230, can also be larger than the diameter of the exhaust port 112.

[0275] The conversion guide 231 can be manufactured integrally with the lower wall 230 during the manufacturing process of the lower wall 230. Alternatively, only the conversion guide 231 can be manufactured separately and then attached to and detached from the lower wall 230.

[0276] The conversion guide 231 can be made into a structure that can cause the Coanda effect, which can prevent airflow from forming on the upper side of the seat device 200.

[0277] The transition guide 231 may include a curved surface. The lower surface of the transition guide 231 may be formed as a curved surface.

[0278] On the other hand, the shape of the conversion guide 231 can vary within the range of its function of converting the direction of airflow.

[0279] By providing a space 267 on the upper side of the main body 100 that does not directly receive airflow, the pet can feel safe and its stress can be minimized.

[0280] On the other hand, the lower part 210 may be equipped with a weight sensor 244. The air purifier 1 can determine whether the pet is in the resting space 267 based on the sensing data of the weight sensor 244.

[0281] The weight sensor 244 can be disposed inside the lower body 211. Depending on the configuration and sensing method of the weight sensor 244, a gap may exist between the lower wall 230 and the mounting portion 270. The conversion guide 231 can be disposed at the outer peripheral end of the lower wall 230.

[0282] Since the conversion guide 231 changes the direction of airflow before the placement part 270, it can prevent hair or foreign objects from entering the gap between the lower wall 230 and the placement part 270.

[0283] On the other hand, the conversion guide 231 can change the direction of the purified air moving upwards to the side and downwards. Moving the purified air upwards can help it reach a longer distance.

[0284] Therefore, in order to improve air purification performance, it is preferable to generate airflow as needed.

[0285] Figure 14 This is a side sectional view of the seat device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 15 and Figure 16 yes Figure 14 The diagram is referenced in the explanation of the seat mechanism's operation.

[0286] Reference Figures 14 to 16The seat assembly 200 may include a conversion guide 231a disposed at the lower part. The conversion guide 231a may be disposed at the lower part of the lower body 211. The conversion guide 231a may have an annular structure extending downward from the lower body 211. The conversion guide 231a may be disposed on the lower surface of the lower wall 230.

[0287] The conversion guide 231a can be configured between the lower wall 230 and the mounting part 270.

[0288] The conversion guide 231a can be disposed on the outer peripheral end 231 of the lower wall 230. Since the lower wall 230 has a structure extending upwards and radially outwards at the upper end of the insertion post 212, the outer peripheral end 231 can be formed at the upper end of the lower wall 230. The conversion guide 231a can be disposed on the outer side of the outer peripheral end 231 of the lower wall 230. The conversion guide 231a can also be disposed inside the lower end portion 271 of the mounting portion 270.

[0289] The mounting device 200 may include a motor 1500 that moves the conversion guide 231a in a vertical direction. For example, the motor 1500 may be a simple stepper motor. The motor 1500 may include a motor body 1500a that provides driving force and a gear 1500b that rotates with the drive of the motor body 1500a. The gear 1500b may be engaged with the conversion guide 231a.

[0290] Air purifier 1 can be driven by motor 1500 to move conversion guide 231a in the vertical direction, forming airflow as needed. Air purifier 1 uses weight sensor 244 to detect the presence of pets, and then uses motor 1500 to control conversion guide 231a, thereby controlling the airflow for purification.

[0291] The air purifier 1 can use a weight sensor 244 to detect whether there is a pet on the seat 252 and automatically control the airflow based on whether there is a pet.

[0292] The conversion guide 231a may include a base 231a2 that engages with the gear 1500b and a protrusion 231a1 extending from the base 231a2. The protrusion 231a1 may protrude obliquely from the lower surface of the base 231a2. The protrusion 231a1 may extend downward from the lower surface of the base 231a2.

[0293] The height H1 of the lower end portion 271 of the mounting portion 270 may be higher than the height H2 of the outer peripheral end 231 of the lower wall 230. Alternatively, the height H1 of the lower end portion 271 of the mounting portion 270 and the height H2 of the outer peripheral end 231 of the lower wall 230 may be configured to be the same.

[0294] Reference Figure 15In the default state, the conversion guide 231a can be positioned where the height of the protrusion 231a1 is higher than the height H1 of the lower end 271 and the height H2 of the outer peripheral end 231.

[0295] If it is determined that the cat is not on the seat device 200, the conversion guide 231a can be located inside the seat device 200 in the default state.

[0296] In the default state, the conversion guide 231a is placed inside the upper seat device 200 to allow the airflow exhaled from the main body 100 to be better diffused to a distance.

[0297] Reference Figure 15 The height of the protrusion 231a1 can be located at a position higher than the height H1 of the lower end 271 and the height H2 of the outer peripheral end 231.

[0298] In its default state, the conversion guide 231a does not protrude outside the seat 200. Therefore, even when airflow is formed along the lower wall 230 and the outer side of the mounting portion 270, the conversion guide 231a does not obstruct airflow.

[0299] Since the conversion guide 231a enters the inside of the seat device 200 and does not obstruct the airflow, the exhaust airflow of the air purifier 1 is better diffused and the air purification performance is improved.

[0300] Reference Figure 16 When the conversion guide 231a is in the protruding state, at least the height of the protruding part 231a1 can be located at a position lower than the height H1 of the lower end 271 and the height H2 of the outer peripheral end 231.

[0301] Furthermore, when the conversion guide 231a is in its protruding state, the height of the base 231a2 can be lower than the height H1 of the lower end 271 and the height H2 of the outer peripheral end 231. Alternatively, when the conversion guide 231a is in its protruding state, the height of the base 231a2 can be the same as the height H1 of the lower end 271.

[0302] If a pet climbs onto the seat 252, the conversion guide 231a can be made to protrude downward from the seat assembly 200 in order to prevent the exhaled airflow from being sent to the pet's side.

[0303] In the convex state, at least the convex portion 231a1 protrudes towards the lower side of the seat device 200, converting the airflow direction formed along the lower wall 230 and the outer side of the mounting portion 270 into a downward airflow.

[0304] If the weight sensor 244 detects the pet in the seat 252, the motor 1500 can move the conversion guide 231a downwards. By moving the conversion guide 231a downwards, it protrudes outwards from the seat assembly 200, thereby changing the airflow direction to downwards. This prevents airflow from blowing directly onto the pet in the seat 252, allowing the pet to rest comfortably.

[0305] Additionally, if the weight sensor 244 does not detect the pet in the seat 252, the motor 1500 can move the conversion guide 231a upwards to return it to its original position (default state). Thus, the conversion guide 231a does not obstruct airflow, thereby blowing purified air to a more distant location and improving air purification performance.

[0306] On the other hand, users can use a mobile device to run an application to control the airflow. For example, in cases where the indoor temperature is high or a pet cat prefers a cool environment, users can use their mobile device to control the airflow to blow towards the pet cat.

[0307] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention as claimed in the claims.
