Air Cleaner with Separable Upper Body for Space Utilization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air cleaners with upward air flow structures face difficulties in utilizing the space above the device due to fixed fan components, making it inconvenient to manage and utilize this space effectively.
Innovation Solution
The air cleaner design includes a first body with an upper housing and a second body that can be separated and utilized as a table, allowing the space above to be used freely while maintaining airflow directionality and electrical connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a fan structure is fixed above the air cleaner to change air direction, then the upper structure is stably disposed, but it is difficult for the user to separately manage or separate the upper structure
Solution Approach 1:
The air cleaner is divided into a lower body and an upper body that can be separately mounted and managed. The upper body includes a fan structure that changes air direction, and it is designed as a separable module that can be independently attached to or removed from the lower body, enabling users to manage each part separately while maintaining stability when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The coupling structure between the upper body and lower body allows for dynamic assembly and disassembly. The upper body can be stably fixed to the lower body during operation, but can also be easily separated when needed, providing flexibility in management while ensuring operational stability.
2Productivity
If a fan structure is disposed above the outlet to change air direction, then air distribution is improved, but the space above the air cleaner cannot be effectively utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The upper body is designed with a guide wall that extends in a radially outward direction, creating a three-dimensional structure that utilizes the vertical space above the air cleaner. This guide wall structure allows air to be discharged in multiple directions (upward and radially outward) simultaneously, improving air distribution efficiency while effectively using the space above the device.

AI summary
An air cleaner may include a first body having an inlet, an annular outlet above the inlet, and a coupling groove depressed downward inside the annular outlet. The air cleaner may also include a second body including a guide wall that extends in a radially outward direction to guide air discharged from the outlet, and an insertion pole that extends downward from a lower end portion of the guide wall to be inserted into the coupling groove, and a coupling portion protruding outwardly from a peripheral surface of the insertion pole to fix the second body when the insertion pole is disposed at the coupling groove.
