Abstract

The present invention provides an air purifier that includes: a purifier body; a first air blower which is provided in the purifier body to introduce, purify and discharge outside air; an air guidance part which is provided on the movement path of the air discharged from the first air blower and is pivotably coupled to the upper end of the purifier body to guide an air discharge direction; and a second air blower which is installed on the air guidance part to blow air.

Claims (26)

1. An air purifier, comprising:

a purifier main body;

a first air blower provided in the purifier main body to introduce, purify, and discharge external air;

an air guidance part provided on a movement path of the air discharged from the first air blower and pivotably coupled to an upper surface of the purifier main body to determine an air discharge direction; and

a second air blower installed on the air guidance part to blow air,

wherein the air guidance part includes: a cover top provided on the upper surface of the purifier main body and provided on a movement path of purified air discharged from the first air blower; and a pivotably installed portion pivotably coupled to the cover top, and having the second air blower installed therein.

2. The air purifier of claim 1 , wherein the pivotably installed portion includes:

a lower grill provided in an upper portion of the cover top and having the second air blower mounted thereon;

an upper grill coupled to an upper portion of the lower grill and forming a space in which the second air blower is accommodated; and

a rotation guide coupled to the lower grill with the cover top interposed therebetween to guide the pivotably installed portion to pivot on the cover top.

3. The air purifier of claim 2 , wherein the cover top has a guide rail guiding rotation of the pivotably installed portion on a bottom surface, and

the rotation guide is installed to move on the guide rail.

4. The air purifier of claim 2 , wherein the lower grill has a plurality of positioning grooves formed in a bottom surface to be spaced apart from each other, and

the cover top has a positioning rod selectively inserted into the positioning groove to set a rotation angle of the pivotably installed portion.

5. The air purifier of claim 1 , wherein the purifier main body includes:

a main housing having an internal space, in which the first air blower is installed; and

a guide top provided in an upper surface of the main housing and having the air guidance part mounted thereon.

6. The air purifier of claim 5 , wherein the guide top has at least one air inlet, through which external air flows.

7. The air purifier of claim 5 , wherein the cover top is installed on the guide top to be rotated, so as to allow the air guidance part and the second air blower installed in the air guidance part to be rotated above the purifier main body,

an upper surface of the guide top is provided with a first rail portion, and

a lower surface of the cover top is provided with a second rail portion installed in the first rail portion to be rotated.

8. The air purifier of claim 1 , wherein the first air blower and the second air blower are provided to be independently driven.

9. The air purifier of claim 1 , having:

an air purifying mode discharging air purified in the purifier main body, as the first air blower is driven and the second air blower is stopped;

a blowing mode blowing air, having been introduced, as the first air blower is stopped and the second air blower is driven; and

a purifying and blowing mode applying additional discharge force to purified air, discharged by the first air blower, with the second air blower to blow the air to an interior space, as the first air blower and the second air blower are driven.
