The electrolysis-promoting tablet 21 charged from the tablet charging mechanism 18 drops the communication guide 22 and enters the water storage container 14.

As a result, the tablet charging mechanism 18 is provided above the tank member 15 and is separated from the water in the water storage container 14, so that the electrolysis promoting tablet 21 is difficult to deliquesce due to moisture, and the electrolysis promoting tablet 21 is charged into the tablet. It is possible to prevent the case 19 from sticking to the case 19 and the electrolysis promoting tablets from sticking to each other.

Further, the communication guide 22 has a plurality of bent portions 23. Specifically, the communication guide 22 has a first guide 24 extending downward from below the tablet loading mechanism, a second guide 25, and a third guide 26. The axial direction of the first guide 24 and the third guide 26 is substantially vertical, and the axial direction of the second guide 25 is inclined obliquely downward. That is, the second guide 25 has a gentler inclination than the first guide 24 and the third guide 26.

The scroll surface portion 29 seen from the opening 4 includes a flat surface 30 extending in the vertical direction and one surface facing the opening 4, and a curved surface 31 extending inward from the lower end of the flat surface. The first guide 24 of the communication guide 22 is in contact with the flat surface 30, and the second guide 25 of the communication guide 22 is in contact with the curved surface 31.

As a result, the casing portion 11 also vibrates due to the vibration generated by the rotation of the fan portion 10. Since the communication guide 22 in contact with the vibrating casing portion 11 also vibrates, the powder of the electrolysis promoting tablet 21 adhering to the inner surface of the communication guide 22 can be taken from the inner surface of the communication guide 22, so that the electrolysis is promoted in the communication guide 22. It is possible to prevent the tablet 21 from being clogged.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a communication guide of the air purification device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the communication guide 22 is detachable from the tablet loading mechanism 18. Specifically, it is fixed by claws 32 provided at the upper and lower parts of the communication guide 22 and removable hook claws (not shown) provided on the scroll surface portion 29 side. In this structure, the communication guide 22 can be removed by applying a force downward and can be attached by applying a force upward, so that the inside of the communication guide 22 can be easily maintained.

Further, the communication guide 22 has an opening 33 extending in the vertical direction on one side surface. The opening 33 is closed by the casing 11. Since the communication guide 22 has a U-shaped cross section in the falling direction of the electrolysis promoting tablet 21, the inside of the communication guide 22 can be easily maintained.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a tank member of the air purification device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the tank member 15 includes a convex portion 34 that sandwiches a part of the communication guide 22. As a result, the capacity of the tank increases, and when the tank member 15 is attached and detached, if the tank member 15 and the convex portion come into contact with each other, the communication guide 22 vibrates, so that the electrolysis promoting tablet 21 adhering to the inner surface of the communication guide 22 Since the powder of the above can be taken from the inner surface of the communication guide 22, it is possible to prevent the electrolysis promoting tablet 21 from being clogged in the communication guide 22.
