Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform purification simultaneously with the start of smoking, by providing a plurality of detection elements as sensors each outputting automatic operation signal and providing one of them as an ultraviolet ray detection element. CONSTITUTION:When a user ignites a lighter for the purpose of smoking in an automatic operation mode, the ultraviolet rays from said lighter are incident on an ultraviolet ray sensor 27 and an electromotive blower 32 is operated by a control circuit 30 through a detection circuit 34 and the operation thereof is continued for a definite time and subsequently stopped. When the smoke of cigarettes 35 reaches a gas sensor 26 during this time, the signal of said sensor 26 is inputted to the control circuit 30 through a detection circuit 33 and, thereafter, the electromotive blower 32 is driven in the state corresponding to the input of the gas sensor 26. As mentioned above, by together using the ultraviolet ray sensor 27 and the gas sensor 26, automatic operation is started at the point of time when the lighter is ignited and smoke is sucked before a gaseous component reaches the gas sensor to attain purification.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention These conventional air purifiers use a gas sensor 12 as a sensor to detect the degree of pollution in the indoor air, which is a particular problem in homes. When smoking, even in the same room, smoke gradually spreads depending on the position of the smoker and the air purifier, and it takes a certain amount of time to reach the sensor. The shorter the time, the longer the time, and the device may not operate until the user starts smoking and the room is filled with smoke, resulting in a problem of low usability.
