The light emission motion through the function exposure window 286 is convenient as it can confirm the amount of the humidification by the rotational speed of the light emission motion as shown in FIG.

When the fan member 234 rotates as described above, the outside air flows to the side through the inflow line 140 and is discharged to the outside through the discharge port 214 of the main body 200 to humidify the room.

In this humidifying operation, the external air is introduced through the inlet 142 by the rotation of the fan member 234. A grill 150 is formed in the inflow portion 142 to prevent the inflow of foreign matter. The external air introduced through the inflow portion 142 flows into the interior of the filter fixing frame 130 through the communication hole portion 144. At this time, a partition wall member 145 is provided at a lower portion of the communication hole 144 to allow the introduced external air to enter the communication hole 144 precisely. The communication hole portion 144 is provided with a pre-filter 171 to filter foreign matter such as dust.

At this time, a guide rib 182 is provided at the upper end of the communication hole 144 so as to contact the upper end of the pre-filter 171. This causes external air to flow into the gap between the pre- And all the air is introduced into the filter fixing frame 130 through the pre-filter 171, thereby improving the filtering effect.

The external air introduced into the filter fixing frame 130 comes into contact with the humidifying filter 120 to be humidified air and flows into the housing 210.

At this time, the upper end of the filter housing 190 is composed of the exposed grill portion 194, and the introduced external air can be in wide contact with the upper end of the humidifying filter 120 to improve the humidifying efficiency, .

The humidified air introduced into the housing 210 is discharged to the outside through a discharge port 214 formed between the housing 210 and the mounting bracket 220 to humidify the room. At this time, the discharge port 214 is provided with a shroud 225 to discharge humidified air while diffusing it outward.

Such a humidifying air cleaner 10 is formed in a cup-shaped small size and is provided in a cup holder of a vehicle as shown in Fig. 20 to humidify the indoor air of the vehicle and to filter out contaminants contained in the indoor air.

As described above, according to the humidifying air cleaner of the embodiment of the present invention, since the outside air is introduced and brought into contact with water, it is possible to humidify and purify the room air, Easy maintenance and easy cleaning due to a simple assembling structure, thus enabling hygienic use.

In addition, a water supply line is provided in the mounting bracket of the main body, water can be supplied to the upper part to provide convenience, and a communication hole of the inflow line can be formed at an intermediate portion of the filter fixing frame to appropriately maintain the humidification efficiency and the air flow .
