PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air cleaner capable of safely and comfortably enhancing an air cleaning function by automatically changing the direction and intensity of air feeding.SOLUTION: An air cleaner includes: a housing 2 in which a suction and exhaust port 3 is formed at each of its upper part and lower part a flow passage 14 formed inside the housing 2 and connecting a suction and exhaust port 3a of the upper part and a suction exhaust port 3b of the lower part an electric dust collector 6 disposed inside the flow passage 14 and a fan 7 provided inside the flow passage 14 and enabling forward-reverse switching of an air feeding direction. The air cleaner executes an operation of suctioning air from the suction and exhaust port 3a and blowing out the air from the suction and exhaust port 3b of the lower part, and an operation of suctioning air from the suction and exhaust port 3b of the lower part and blowing out the air from the suction and exhaust port 3a of the upper part. Consequently, accumulation of air can be reduced to enhance an air cleaning function.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】送風の方向及び強さを自動で変化させることにより空気清浄機能を高めることが可能な安全でより快適な空気清浄機を提供する。【解決手段】上部及び下部に各々吸排気口3が形成される筐体2と、筐体2の内部に形成されて上部の吸排気口3aと下部の吸排気口3bとを繋ぐ流路14と、流路14の内部に配設される電気集塵機6と、流路14の内部に設けられて送風の向きを正逆切り替え可能なファン7と、を備え、上部の吸排気口3aから空気を吸入して下部の吸排気口3bから吹き出す動作と、下部の吸排気口3bから空気を吸入して上部の吸排気口3aから吹き出す動作と、を実行する。これにより、空気の滞留を減らして空気清浄機能を高めることができる。【選択図】図4
