PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make air to be treated flow through a dust collecting unit and a deodorizing unit even when both the units have a different shape from each other on a projection plane vertical to the air flow direction.SOLUTION: An air cleaner is equipped with a dust collecting unit for collecting dust contained in passing air, a deodorizing unit for deodorizing odorous components contained in the passing air, and a guiding unit having an air passage for guiding air passing the dust collecting unit to the deodorizing unit. The guiding unit includes a first opening formed along the shape of an air outlet plane of the dust collecting unit and a second opening formed along the shape of an air inlet plane of the deodorizing unit, the second opening having a different shape from the first opening, and a communicating part for communicating the first opening and the second opening. The communicating part has an air blocking part at a position where the first opening and the second opening do not overlap in the air flow direction on a projection plane vertical to the air flow direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12COPYRIGHT: (C)2019,JPO&INPIT【課題】通風方向に対して垂直な投影面において集塵ユニットと脱臭ユニットの形状が異なる場合であっても、被処理空気を両方のユニットに通過させる。【解決手段】空気清浄機は、通過する空気に含まれる塵埃を捕集する集塵部と、通過する空気に含まれる臭気成分を脱臭する脱臭部と、集塵部を通過した空気を脱臭部へ案内する通風路を形成するガイド部と、を備え、ガイド部は、集塵部の空気の排出面の形状に沿って形成された第１開口部と、脱臭部の空気の吸入面の形状に沿って形成されて第１開口部とは形状が異なる第２開口部と、第１開口部と第２開口部とを繋ぐ連通部と、を備える。連通部は、通風方向に対して垂直な投影面において第１開口部と第２開口部とが通風方向で重ならない位置に設けられた遮風部を備える。【選択図】図１２
