A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11885528B2) discloses an innovative air purifier design featuring a body portion with a rotatable neck portion and head portion. The head portion houses a fan assembly and filters for discharging purified air, with the neck portion comprising a neck housing, head frame, and frame body. The vertical rotation of the head portion is limited by the guide opening and frame body insertion members, ensuring controlled movement. Additionally, the patent details the inclusion of a vertical rotation member, gear penetration portion, and vertical rotation support portion in the neck portion for enhanced functionality.

Furthermore, the air purifier design includes features such as rollers for assisting in the vertical rotation of the head portion, a spherical shape for the head portion, and a horizontal rotation gear combined with a horizontal rotation motor in the body portion. The interaction between the neck housing, head vertical rotation guide portion, and neck horizontal rotation guide portion allows for smooth horizontal rotation of the head portion. The patent also highlights the presence of a base with wheels at the bottom end of the body portion for easy mobility. Overall, the patented air purifier design offers a unique combination of vertical and horizontal rotation capabilities, providing users with efficient air purification while ensuring ease of use and mobility.
