Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an air purification face mask structure, and more particularly to an air purification face mask structure for holding out air pollution, which has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation effects.


b) Description of the Prior Art

Nowadays, as the air quality deteriorates gradually, the air is filled with airborne particulates which are harmful to the human body, and air pollution is already one of the lethal factors to the general public. The culprit of air pollution is mainly PM2.5 present in the air, in which the size of PM2.5 is approximately 1/28 of the diameter of hair or ⅓ of a red blood cell. Although PM2.5 cannot be seen by naked eye, it can easily enter into the human body and invade the pulmonary alveoli, infiltrate into the blood circulation system and cause various diseases including asthma, allergies or dermatitis, and even lung cancer or liver cancer, which make health deteriorate from long-term accumulation in the human body.


Currently, one of the main method of keeping away air pollution for the general public is to wear a face mask. Although a general face mask can block and allow some larger particulate matter or organic matter to become adsorbed, when the particulate matter or organic matter becomes adsorbed to a certain level, the face mask becomes ineffective. Moreover, a general face mask is only 30%-80% effective for blocking PM2.5, and cannot completely filter the fine particulate matter in PM2.5, and the general face mask is mostly disposable and cannot be used repeatedly and also has the disadvantage of being stifling. Most importantly, a general face mask cannot achieve the purpose of eliminating bacteria or virus; accordingly, the provision of an innovative hardware design which not only has the effects of eliminating airborne particulates and dust mites as that a traditional face mask, but also achieves anti-bacterial and anti-inflammation effects, is an issue which requires to be overcome and solved with continued efforts by manufacturers and developers for face mask structure related industries.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide an air purification face mask structure for holding out air pollution, which has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation effects, by internally providing a hardware design including a fan and an air deflector in an air purification face mask structure, effectively using the fan to guide the air outside the air purification face mask structure to the mouth and nose of a user, and guide the air exhaled by the user from a discharge port to outside of the air purification face mask structure to enable breathing in a separate manner, thereby achieving advantages such as anti-bacterial and anti-inflammation effects, as well as enhancing gas circulation in an internal portion of the air purification face mask structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, the air purification face mask structure of the present invention comprises a body 10, a fan 20, a filter 30, an outer cover 40, an air deflector 50, an ultrasonic vibration device 60, a face mask 70 and a strap 80, wherein the body 10 is in an annular shape in appearance and can be made of materials such as silicone or an elastic fabric, a central part thereof is provided with an opening 11, adequate positions on two sides thereof are respectively provided with one discharge port 12, gases exhaled from the mouth or nose of a face mask user can be discharged outside of the face mask via the discharge ports 12, and an adequate position on a front edge of the body 10 has at least one joining portion 13.


The fan 20 is mounted in the body 10; the filter 30 is coveringly provided at the opening 11 of the body 10, the filter 30 has another surface thereof being filter cotton (not shown in the drawings), the filter 30, in combination with the filter cotton, is capable of filtering out particulate matter and dust mites harmful to the human body.


The outer cover 40 is provided at a front end of the body 10, an adequate position on an inner side of the outer cover 40 has at least one joining portion 41, the joining portion 41 of the outer cover 40 is joined with the joining portion 13 of the body 10, so as to enable the outer cover 40 and the body 10 to be joined and integrated as a whole, and the joining portion 41 of the outer cover 40 and the joining portion 13 of the body 10 are one of the modes including a magnet, a clasp or a button, in which the mode of magnets is presented in the embodiment of the patent. The outer cover 40 is provided thereon with an air inlet 42, and the mode of a slit is presented in the embodiment of the patent. External air enters into the body 10 from the air inlet 42 of the outer cover 40 and via the filter 30, so as to enable the user to breathe.


The air deflector 50 is engagingly fitted in the body 10, as can be appreciated from FIG. 3, the air deflector 50 has an upper half portion thereof provided with a plurality of first guide holes 51, and a lower half portion thereof provided with a plurality of second guide holes 52; it can be appreciated from FIG. 4 that the plurality of first guide holes 51 are slanted upwards to form an angle with a horizontal plane, when external air passes through the fan 20 and is guided into the body 10, the air current can be blown to the nose and the mouth of the face mask user for breathing via the oblique first guide holes 51; the plurality of horizontal second guide holes 52 are horizontal, and gases exhaled from the nose and the mouth of the face mask user are directly discharged externally from the discharge ports 12 of the body 10 via the horizontal second guide holes 52, so as to enable breathing in a separate manner.
