The dust collecting function and the sterilizing function can be performed.

한편, 본 발명의 다른 일 실시예에 따른 슬림형 공기처리장치(100-1)는 하우징(110)의 외부공기의 가스농도를 감지하는 가스센서(170)와, 하우징(110)의 외부공기의 먼지농도를 감지하는 먼지센서(180) 그리고, 제1 내지 제4 개폐부(161~164)의 유로개폐동작을 제어하는 제어부(미도시)를 포함할 수 있다. On the other hand, the slim air treatment device 100-1 according to another embodiment of the present invention is a gas sensor 170 for detecting the gas concentration of the outside air of the housing 110, dust of the outside air of the housing 110 It may include a dust sensor 180 for detecting the concentration, and a controller (not shown) for controlling the opening and closing operation of the first to fourth opening and closing portions (161 to 164).

이러한 본 발명의 다른 일 실시예에서, 제어부는 상기 가스센서(170)와 먼지센서(180)에서 감지한 값을 기초로 제1 내지 제4 개폐부(161~164)의 유로개폐동작을 제어할 수 있다. In another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit may control the opening and closing operation of the first to fourth opening and closing portions 161 to 164 based on the values detected by the gas sensor 170 and the dust sensor 180. have.

예를 들어, 가스센서(170)에서 감지한 가스농도가 미리 설정된 기준치 이상인 경우, 제어부는 도 10에 도시된 바와 같이 제1 개폐부(161)와 제2 개폐부(162)를 열 수 있다. 제1 개폐부(161)와 제2 개폐부(162)가 열리면 제1 유로(151)와 제2 유로(152)를 통해 공기유동이 가능하므로, 실내공기가 탈취필터로 구성된 제1 필터(130a)를 통해 정화되어 실내공기 중의 악취물질 및 가스가 제거될 수 있다. For example, when the gas concentration detected by the gas sensor 170 is greater than or equal to a preset reference value, the controller may open the first opening and closing portion 161 and the second opening and closing portion 162 as shown in FIG. 10. When the first opening / closing part 161 and the second opening / closing part 162 are opened, air flow is possible through the first flow path 151 and the second flow path 152, so that the indoor air is provided with a first filter 130a composed of a deodorization filter. Purifying through it can remove odorous substances and gases in the room air.

또한, 먼지센서(180)에서 감지한 먼지농도가 미리 설정된 기준치 이상인 경우, 제어부는 도 11에 도시된 바와 같이 제3 개폐부(163)와 제4 개폐부(164)를 열 수 있다. 제3 개폐부(163)와 제4 개폐부(164)가 열리면 제3 유로(153)와 제4 유로(154)를 통해 공기유동이 가능하므로, 실내공기가 헤파필터로 구성된 제2 필터(130b)를 통해 정화되어 실내공기 중의 미세먼지 및 세균이 제거될 수 있다. In addition, when the dust concentration detected by the dust sensor 180 is more than a predetermined reference value, the control unit may open the third opening and closing portion 163 and the fourth opening and closing portion 164 as shown in FIG. When the third opening and closing portion 163 and the fourth opening and closing portion 164 are opened, air flow is possible through the third flow passage 153 and the fourth flow passage 154, so that the indoor air is the second filter 130b composed of the HEPA filter. Purified through it can remove the fine dust and bacteria in the room air.

반대로, 가스센서(170)에서 감지한 가스농도가 기준치 미만인 경우, 제어부는 제1 개폐부(161)와 제2 개폐부(162)를 닫을 수 있다. 이를 통해, 실내공기 중의 악취 및 가스의 농도가 원하는 농도보다 낮아지면 자동으로 제1 유로(151) 및 제2 유로(152)로 공기유동이 차단되어 탈취필터로 구성된 제1 필터(130a)의 사용이 중지될 수 있다. On the contrary, when the gas concentration detected by the gas sensor 170 is less than the reference value, the controller may close the first opening and closing portion 161 and the second opening and closing portion 162. Through this, when the concentration of odor and gas in the indoor air is lower than the desired concentration, the air flow is automatically blocked to the first flow path 151 and the second flow path 152 to use the first filter 130a composed of a deodorization filter. This can be stopped.

또한, 먼지센서(180)에서 감지한 먼지농도가 기준치 미만인 경우, 제어부는 제3 개폐부(163)와 제4 개폐부(164)를 닫을 수 있다. 이를 통해, 실내공기 중의 먼지 및 세균의 농도가 원하는 농도보다 낮아지면 자동으로 제3 유로(153) 및 제4 유로(154)로 공기유동이 차단되어 헤파필터로 구성된 제2 필터(130b)의 사용이 중지될 수 있다. In addition, when the dust concentration detected by the dust sensor 180 is less than the reference value, the controller may close the third opening and closing portion 163 and the fourth opening and closing portion 164. Through this, when the concentration of dust and bacteria in the indoor air is lower than the desired concentration, the air flow is automatically blocked to the third flow path 153 and the fourth flow path 154 to use the second filter 130b composed of a hepa filter. This can be stopped.

일 실시예에서, 제어부는 가스센서(170)에서 감지한 가스농도와 먼지센서(180)에서 감지한 먼지농도를 기초로 제1 내지 제4 개폐부(161~164)를 각각 독립적으로 제어할 수 있으므로, 경우에 따라 제1 필터(130a) 및 제2 필터(130b)가 동시에 사용될 수도 있고, 제1 필터(130a) 및 제2 필터(130b)가 모두 사용되지 않을 수도 있다. In one embodiment, the controller may independently control the first to fourth opening and closing portions (161 to 164) based on the gas concentration detected by the gas sensor 170 and the dust concentration detected by the dust sensor 180, respectively. In some cases, the first filter 130a and the second filter 130b may be used at the same time, and neither the first filter 130a nor the second filter 130b may be used.

여기서, 제1 필터(130a) 및 제2 필터(130b)가 모두 사용되지 않는 경우는 실내 공기질이 원하는 공기질로 변경된 상태를 의미하므로, 제어부는 제1 내지 제4 개폐부(161~164)를 모두 닫은 경우 자동으로 원심팬(120)의 동작을 정지시킬 수도 있다.Here, when neither the first filter 130a nor the second filter 130b is used, it means a state in which indoor air quality is changed to a desired air quality, and thus the control unit closes all of the first to fourth opening and closing parts 161 to 164. In this case, the operation of the centrifugal fan 120 may be automatically stopped.

한편, 일 실시예에서, 가스센서(170)에서 감지한 가스농도가 미리 설정된 위험치 이상인 경우, 제어부는 제1 개폐부(161) 및 제2 개폐부(162)를 열고 제3 개폐부(163) 및 제4 개폐부(164)를 닫아서, 원심팬(120)의 흡입유량의 거의 전량이 제1 필터(130a)를 통과하도록 함으로써, 탈취기능이 집중적으로 수행되도록 할 수 있다.Meanwhile, in one embodiment, when the gas concentration detected by the gas sensor 170 is greater than or equal to a preset danger value, the controller opens the first opening and closing portion 161 and the second opening and closing portion 162 and the third opening and closing portion 163 and the third opening. By closing the opening and closing part 164, the entire flow rate of the suction flow of the centrifugal fan 120 passes through the first filter 130a, so that the deodorizing function can be concentrated.

반대로, 먼지센서(180)에서 감지한 먼지농도가 미리 설정된 위험치 이상인 경우, 제어부는 제3 개폐부(163) 및 제4 개폐부(164)를 열고 제1 개폐부(161) 및 제2 개폐부(162)를 닫아서, 원심팬(120)의 흡입유량의 거의 전량이 제2 필터(130b)를 통과하도록 함으로써, 집진 및 살균기능이 집중적으로 수행되도록 할 수 있다. On the contrary, when the dust concentration detected by the dust sensor 180 is greater than or equal to a preset danger value, the controller opens the third opening and closing portion 163 and the fourth opening and closing portion 164 and opens the first opening and closing portion 161 and the second opening and closing portion 162. By closing, the entire flow rate of the suction flow of the centrifugal fan 120 passes through the second filter 130b, so that the dust collecting and sterilizing function can be performed intensively.

전술한 바와 같은 본 발명의 다른 일 실시예에 따른 슬림형 공기처리장치(100-1)는 서로 다른 공기정화기능을 구비한 필터(130a, 130b)를 서로 다른 공기흡입 유로에 배치하고 각각의 유로를 개폐함으로써 필요에 따라 서로 다른 공기정화기능을 선택하여 집중적으로 수행할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. As described above, the slim type air treatment device 100-1 according to another embodiment of the present invention arranges the filters 130a and 130b having different air purifying functions in different air suction flow paths, respectively. By opening and closing, there is an advantage that can be performed intensively by selecting different air purification function as needed.

또한, 본 발명의 다른 일 실시예에 따른 슬림형 공기처리장치(100-1)는 원심팬(120)의 양측 흡입구(122a, 122b) 각각에 서로 다른 필터가 배치되는 것이 아닌, 원심팬(120)의 반경방향에 필터(130a, 130b)가 배치되고 각각의 필터(130a, 130b)를 통과한 공기가 원심팬(120)의 양측 흡입구(122a, 122b) 모두로 흡입될 수 있으므로, 복수의 필터(130a, 130b) 중 어느 하나를 폐쇄하는 경우에도 원심팬(120)의 양측 흡입구(122a, 122b)의 흡입성능이 온전히 발휘될 수 있다는 장점이 있다. In addition, in the slim type air treatment device 100-1 according to another embodiment of the present invention, different filters are not disposed at each of the two intake ports 122a and 122b of the centrifugal fan 120. The filters 130a and 130b are disposed in the radial direction of the air, and the air passing through the respective filters 130a and 130b may be sucked into both of the inlets 122a and 122b of the centrifugal fan 120. Even when closing any one of the 130a, 130b has the advantage that the suction performance of both suction ports (122a, 122b) of the centrifugal fan 120 can be fully exhibited.

본 발명은 특정한 실시예에 관하여 도시하고 설명하였지만, 당업계에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자라면 이하의 특허청구범위에 기재된 본 발명의 사상 및 영역을 벗어나지 않는 범위 내에서 본 발명을 다양하게 수정 및 변경시킬 수 있음을 밝혀두고자 한다.While the invention has been shown and described with respect to particular embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims below.
