Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to the field of purifiers, in particular to a light shield structure.

DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

Due to the outbreak of viruses, the demand for air purifiers internally provided with an ultraviolet lamp is becoming ever urgent. In existing air purifiers, a filter screen made of PP or PET is not resistant to ultraviolet irradiation, and may be aged and covered with dust after being exposed to ultraviolet irradiation for a long time, thus doing harm to human health. In view of this, a light shield structure is additionally disposed between the filter screen and the ultraviolet lamp in the prior art. However, due to the fact that a large gap is reserved in the light shield structure to allow air to flow in smoothly, ultraviolet light cannot be completely shielded, and the filter screen may still be exposed to ultraviolet light. Or, in order to completely protect the filter screen against ultraviolet light, a small air inlet is reserved in the light shield structure, but the air input is small, so although the filter screen is completely shielded against ultraviolet light, the air input is greatly decreased, thus reducing the purification efficiency of the air purifier.
