[0252] The fixing device 232 includes a hook guide 238 disposed inside the seat device 200 and guiding the movement of the hook 236, and an elastic member 240 disposed between the hook guide 238 and the hook 236.

[0253] 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.

[0254] 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.

[0255] 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.

[0256] The intermediate plate 280 can be fixedly configured on the inside of the seat cover 266.

[0257] 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.

[0258] 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.

[0259] 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.

[0260] 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.

[0261] 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.

[0262] 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.

[0263] 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.

[0264] 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.

[0265] 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.

[0266] In addition, reflecting cats' love of curling up and warm spaces, the air purifier 1 provides a heating function using the heater 264.

[0267] 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.

[0268] 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.

[0269] Figure 10 This is a perspective view of an air purifier with a mounting support according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0270] Reference Figure 10 The air purifier also includes a base support 1000. The base support 1000 is disposed between the main body 100 and the base assembly 200.

[0271] The seat support 1000 is configured such that its lower part contacts the upper surface of the main body 100. In addition, the seat support 1000 is configured such that its upper part contacts the lower surface of the seat device 200, thereby supporting the seat device 200 from below.

[0272] The seating unit 200 is used to provide a resting space for the pet, and the resting space must be sized so that the pet can sit or lie down. Therefore, the width of the seating unit 200 can be greater than the width of the main body 100. Because of the larger structure on top of the air purifier due to the seating unit 200, it may sway or tip over when the pet jumps or moves.

[0273] For example, if a pet climbs onto the seat 200 and stands tilted in one direction, the seat 200 may tilt in one direction, or it may sway or tip over.

[0274] By arranging a seat support 1000 on the lower surface of the main body 100, the tilting of the seat device 200 is prevented, thereby preventing the main body 100 from shaking or tipping over.

[0275] Figure 11 This is a perspective view of a seat support member according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 12 This is a side view of a seat support member according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0276] Figure 13 This is a top view of a seat support member according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 14 This is a front view of a seat support member according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0277] Reference Figures 11 to 14 Explanation of the support bracket and air purifier.

[0278] The seat support 1000 includes upper support members 1011 and 1021 that contact the lower part of the seat device 200, lower support members 1012 and 1022 that contact the upper part of the main body 100, and intermediate support members 1013 and 1023 that connect the upper support members 1011 and 1021 and the lower support members 1012 and 1022.

[0279] The upper support members 1011, 1021 and the lower support members 1012, 1022 may each have an annular structure. Since the diameter of the seat device 200 is larger than the diameter of the main body 100, it is preferable that the diameter of the upper support members 1011, 1021 that contact the seat device 200 is larger than the diameter of the lower support members 1012, 1022 that contact the main body 100.

[0280] Since the diameters of the upper support members 1011 and 1021 are larger than those of the lower support members 1012 and 1022, the intermediate support members 1013 and 1023 connecting the upper support members 1011 and 1021 and the lower support members 1012 and 1022 can be configured to be inclined relative to the vertical direction.

[0281] The intermediate support members 1013 and 1023 have openings 1050 for the purified air discharged from the exhaust port 112 to pass through. Air rising through the exhaust port 112 can flow to the outside through the openings 1050. A plurality of intermediate support members 1013 and 1023 can be arranged circumferentially. Openings 1050 can be formed between the spaced-apart intermediate support members 1013 and 1023. Therefore, the seat support member 1000 can support the seat assembly 200 without obstructing airflow.

[0282] The widths d1 and d2 of the intermediate support members 1013 and 1023 can be made smaller than the width d3 of the opening 1050. The intermediate support members 1013 and 1023 can be made to have a thickness that enhances rigidity between the upper support members 1011 and 1021 and the lower support members 1012 and 1022 without hindering airflow.

[0283] The width d3 of the opening 1050 can be larger as it gets closer to the upper support members 1011 and 1021 from the side of the lower support members 1012 and 1022. The widths d1 and d2 of the intermediate support members 1013 and 1023 can be made smaller than the minimum value of the width d3 of the opening 1050.

[0284] The upper width d1 of the intermediate support members 1013 and 1023 can be larger than the lower width d2 of the intermediate support members 1013 and 1023.

[0285] A portion of the upper surface of the upper support members 1011 and 1021 may contact the seat device 200. The upper support members 1011 and 1021 may include a first upper support member 1011a and 1021a that contacts the seat device 200 and a second upper support member 1011b and 1021b that is spaced apart from the seat device 200.

[0286] The second upper support members 1011b and 1021b are separated from the lower body 211, and an operating space 1100 can be formed between the second upper support members 1011b and 1021b and the lower body 211.

[0287] The lengths of the intermediate support members 1013 and 1023 connected to the first upper support members 1011a and 1021a can be made longer than the lengths of the intermediate support members 1013 and 1023 connected to the second upper support members 1011b and 1021b.

[0288] The operating space 1100 can be sized to allow fingers to pass through fully. The lower surface of the lower body 211 can be equipped with a plurality of switches 248a, 248b, and 248c.

[0289] The second upper support members 1011b and 1021b can be configured below the plurality of switches 248a, 248b, and 248c. Therefore, the operating space 1100 can be formed below the plurality of switches 248a, 248b, and 248c.

[0290] On the other hand, the lower surfaces of the lower support members 1012 and 1022 can contact the main body 100.

[0291] The seat support 1000 can be formed by combining two parts 1010 and 1020. The seat support 1000 can be formed by combining the first part 1010 and the second part 1020.

[0292] The first part 1010 and the second part 1020 can be combined to form a ring structure.

[0293] Figure 15 This is an exploded view of a seat support member according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing the state in which the first part 1010 and the second part 1020 are separated.

[0294] The first part 1010 includes an upper support 1011, a lower support 1012, and an intermediate support 1013. The second part 1020 includes an upper support 1021, a lower support 1022, and an intermediate support 1023.

[0295] Magnets 1015 may be disposed at both ends of the first part 1010. For example, magnets 1015 may be disposed on the upper support 1011. Since the heights of the first upper support 1011a and the second upper support 1011b are different, the heights of the magnets 1015 at both ends may also be different.

[0296] Magnets 1025 may also be disposed at both ends of the second part 1020. For example, magnets 1025 may be disposed on the upper support 1021. Since the heights of the first upper support 1021a and the second upper support 1021b are different, the heights of the magnets 1025 at both ends may also be different.

[0297] The two ends of the first part 1010 and the two ends of the second part 1020 can be combined with magnets 1015 and 1025 to form a seat support 1000.

[0298] The base support 1000 can be easily installed using the combination structure of magnets 1015 and 1025. First, the user places the first part 1010 and the second part 1020 on both sides of the joint between the main body 100 and the base device 200. If the user pushes the first part 1010 and the second part 1020 inward, the two ends of the first part 1010 and the two ends of the second part 1020 meet and can be combined using magnets 1015 and 1025.

[0299] According to an embodiment, a portion of magnets 1015 and 1025 can be replaced by metal sheets (not shown). For example, magnets 1015 can be disposed at both ends of the first portion 1010, and metal sheets can be disposed at both ends of the second portion 1020, with magnets 1015 and metal sheets being combined.

[0300] Alternatively, metal sheets can be configured at both ends of the first part 1010, and magnets 1025 can be configured at both ends of the second part 1020. The magnets 1025 and the metal sheets can be combined.

[0301] Alternatively, a magnet 1015 may be disposed on either end of the first part 1010, and a metal sheet may be disposed on the other end. Corresponding to the first part 1010, both ends of the second part 1020 may be disposed on a metal sheet and a magnet 1025.

[0302] According to the embodiment, a mounting groove (not shown) may be formed on the lower surface of the lower wall 230 to better fix the upper support members 1011 and 1021. In addition, a mounting groove (not shown) for mounting the lower support members 1012 and 1022 may be formed on the upper part of the main body 100 (e.g., the upper surface of the main cover 116).

[0303] Figure 16 This is a perspective view of an air purifier with a mounting support according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 17 This is a bottom view of a seat device with a seat support member installed according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0304] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17 The seat support 1000 can be configured between the lower wall 230 and the main cover 116. The seat support 1000 can be configured on the outside of the insertion post 212.

[0305] An insertion post 212 is disposed at the center of the lower wall 230. The first part 1010 and the second part 1020 can be pushed into and joined together from both sides of the insertion post 212.

[0306] An operating space 1100 may be formed on one side of the support member 1000. The operating space 1100 may be formed under the plurality of switches 248a, 248b, 248c.

[0307] The operating space 1100 can be sized to allow fingers to pass through fully. A plurality of switches 248a, 248b, and 248c can be configured on the lower surface of the lower wall 230.

[0308] The operating space 1100 can be formed on the underside of a plurality of switches 248a, 248b, 248c.

[0309] By forming an operating space 1100, the user's fingers can operate the plurality of switches 248a, 248b, and 248c located on the lower surface of the lower body 211 without being hindered when the support member 1000 is provided.

[0310] Figure 18 This is an exploded view of a seat support member according to an embodiment of the present invention. The shapes of magnets 1035 and 1045 are different from those in the above embodiment.

[0311] Reference Figure 18 The seat support 1000 can have a ring structure by combining the first part 1030 and the second part 1040.

[0312] Magnets 1035 are disposed at both ends of the first part 1030. The magnets 1035 may be formed to be longer vertically. The length of the magnets 1035 may correspond to the length of the adjacent intermediate support member 1033. The intermediate support member 1033 connects the upper support member 1031 and the lower support member 1032, forming an opening 1050 through which air can pass.

[0313] The magnet 1035a at one end may have a different length than the magnet 1035b at the other end. The length of the intermediate support 1033 connected to the first upper support 1031a may be longer than the length of the intermediate support 1033 connected to the second upper support 1031b. The magnet 1035a connected to the first upper support 1031a may be longer than the magnet 1035b connected to the upper support 1031b.

[0314] The second part 1040 has magnets 1045 at both ends. The magnets 1045 can be formed to be longer vertically. The length of the magnets 1045 can correspond to the length of the adjacent intermediate support member 1043. The intermediate support member 1043 connects the upper support member 1041 and the lower support member 1042, forming an opening 1050 through which air can pass.

[0315] The magnet 1045a at one end may have a different length than the magnet 1045b at the other end. The length of the intermediate support 1043 connected to the first upper support 1041a may be longer than the length of the intermediate support 1043 connected to the second upper support 1041b. The magnet 1045a connected to the first upper support 1041a may be longer than the magnet 1045b connected to the upper support 1041b.

[0316] 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 and implementations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention as claimed in the claims.
