The present application provides a two-way air intake purifier 100. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the two-way air intake purifier 100 includes a body 1 and at least two fans 2. A first air inlet 11 is provided on each of two opposite sides of the body 1. A first air outlet 12 is provided on a side adjacent to the two first air inlets 11 on the body 1. The fan 2 has two second air inlets 21 arranged axially and a second air outlet 22 arranged laterally. The fans 2 are arranged in the body 1. The two second air inlets 21 of each of the fans 2 are respectively facing the two first air inlets 11. The second air outlet 22 of each of the fans 2 is facing the first air outlet 12. A filtering device 3 is provided at the first air inlets 11 and/or the second air inlets 21 respectively. Specifically, the filtering devices 3 may be provided only at the first air inlets 11, or the filtering devices 3 may be provided only at the second air inlets 21, or the filtering devices 3 are provided at both the first air inlets 11 and the second air inlets 21. The filtering devices 3 purify the air and then the air enters the inside of the fans 2 to form an air flow to achieve the effect of purifying the air.


As mentioned above, it can be understood that the fan 2 has two second air inlets 21 and one second air outlet 22, forming a double air intake structure. A plurality of air intake structures are provided in the body 1. The second air inlets 21 of the fans 2 are all facing the first air inlet s11 of the body 1, and the second air outlets 22 are all facing the first air outlet 12 of the body 1, such that air intake can be realized on both sides of the body 1. Moreover, each first air inlet 11 of the body 1 cooperates with the second air inlets 21 of a plurality of fans 2 for simultaneous air intake, and the first air outlet 12 of the body 1 cooperates with the second air outlets 22 of a plurality of fans 2 for simultaneous air outtake, which can increase the volume of air intake and outtake, facilitate overall circulation of indoor air, and improve air purification efficiency.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the fan 2 includes a housing 23, a centrifugal wind wheel 24 and a driving device 25. The housing 23 includes a top plate 231, a bottom plate 232 and a side panel 233 arranged between the top plate 231 and the bottom plate 232. The top plate 231 and the bottom plate 232 are each provided with the second air inlet 21. The side panel 233 is provided with the second air outlet 22. The centrifugal wind wheel 24 has a first centrifugal wheel body 241 arranged closed to the top plate 231 and a second centrifugal wheel body 242 arranged close to the bottom plate 232. The driving device 25 is connected to the housing 23. An output end of the driving device 25 is connected to the centrifugal wind wheel 24 and drives the centrifugal wind wheel 24 to rotate. As mentioned above, since the first centrifugal wheel body 241 and the second centrifugal wheel body 242 form two centrifugal wheel bodies to rotate together, the air will enter from the second air inlets 21 of the top plate 231 and the bottom plate 232, the first centrifugal wheel body 241 may blow out the air entering from the second air inlet 21 of the top plate 231 from the second air outlet 22 at the side panel 233, and the second centrifugal wheel body 242 may blow out the air entering from the second air inlet 21 of the bottom plate 232 from the second air outlet 22 at the side panel 233, such that a structure in which the air enters from the top and bottom of the housing 23 axially and then is gathered to the direction of the side for outtake, facilitate overall circulation of indoor air, and improve air purification efficiency.


Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the body 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped structure, the fan 2 has a cylindrical structure, and the bottom plate 232 of the fan 2 is screwed to the inner wall of the body 1 to be fixed in the body 1.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the centrifugal wind wheel 24 has a ring structure surrounded by a plurality of blades 243. Specifically in this embodiment, the centrifugal wind wheel 24 also includes two ring frames, and two opposite ends of each of the blades 243 are respectively fixed on the two ring frames to form a stable ring structure. A partition plate 244 is arranged in the ring structure. The partition plate 244 separates the ring structure into a first centrifuge wheel body 241 close to the top plate 231 and a second centrifugal wheel body 242 close to the bottom plate 232. After the air enters the inner side of the centrifugal wind wheel 24, the blades 243 of the first centrifugal wheel body 241 may blow out the air entering from the second air inlet 21 of the top plate 231, the blades 243 of the second centrifugal wheel body 242 may blow out the air entering from the second air inlet 21 of the bottom plate 232, and finally the clean air is blown out from the second air outlet 22 of the side panel 233. Adopting the above up-down two-way air intake structure can increase the air intake volume of the fan 2.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the driving device 25 includes a power part 251 and a metal sleeve 252. The power part 251 is connected to the housing 23.
