Problem
Conventional air purifiers are bulky, space-consuming, and lack multi-functionality, failing to integrate effectively with interior design and provide additional functions like illumination, while also being limited in air filtration capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A light and air filtration unit with ozone catalytic oxidation that combines a main housing, HEPA filter, catalytic filter, ozone generator, electric fan, and LED lighting, allowing for air purification, disinfection, and illumination in a single device, with a detachable filter housing and magnetic attachment for easy maintenance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional air purifiers are used, then air filtration is provided, but the device is bulky and space-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines air filtration function with illumination function into a single integrated device. The air purifier housing incorporates light sources and lamp shades, allowing the device to serve dual purposes: filtering air and providing lighting, thereby reducing the need for separate devices and saving space.
Solution Approach 2:
The air purifier is designed with multi-functionality by integrating lighting components (light sources, lamp shades, light control circuits) into the air filtration device. This allows the single device to perform multiple functions: air purification and illumination, addressing the space constraint by eliminating the need for separate lighting fixtures.

3Productivity
If conventional air purifiers are used, then air filtration is provided, but the design does not match interior design of a room
Solution Approach 1:
The air purifier incorporates aesthetic design elements locally within its structure, including lamp shades with decorative patterns, light diffusers, and stylish housing designs. These local aesthetic features allow the device to blend with interior designs while maintaining its air filtration function.
Solution Approach 2:
By integrating lighting functions with aesthetic lamp shades into the air purifier, the device serves dual purposes: air filtration and decorative lighting. This multi-functionality allows the air purifier to contribute to both air quality and interior aesthetics, unlike conventional single-function air purifiers.

AI summary
A light and air filtration unit with ozone catalytic oxidation includes a main housing and a filter housing detachably mounted to the main housing by a magnet. The filter housing carries a HEPA filter, a catalytic filter, ozone generators. An LED panel is mounted on a lower side of the filter housing. A fan and a main control unit are mounted within the main housing. An outer casing has a top wall disposed above the main housing and formed with air exhaust holes, a side wall surrounding and spaced apart from the filters and the LED panel, and a bottom opening. An annular air channel is formed between the side wall of the outer casing and the filters. The fan draws air into the unit through the bottom opening and out of the unit through the air exhaust holes.
