Abstract:
1. An air filtering apparatus for generating electrolytic water, infiltrating the electrolytic water into a gas-liquid contact member, and blowing air to the gas-liquid contact member by an air blowing fan, thereby filtering air, comprising: a partition plate for partitioning the inside of a housing into upper and lower chambers, a drain pipe for discharging the electrolytic water passed through the gas-liquid contact member; a drain tank that has a vertical tank body receiving and stocking the electrolytic water discharged from the drain pipe; and a filter for collecting particles in the air which are mounted in the housing, wherein the gas-liquid contact member is disposed in the upper chamber, the air blowing fan is disposed in the lower chamber, the filter is disposed at the front side of the air blowing fan, the drain tank is disposed in juxtaposition with the air blowing fan so as to be taken in and out through the front surface of the housing, wherein the drain tank is provided with a grip portion which is swingably secured to the tank body, and the grip portion is movable within the swingable range so that the grip portion can be located at least in front of the tank body and at the upper side of the tank body, and wherein the tank body is provided with a lid having a drain port so that water in the tank body can be discharged from the drain port, and the grip portion is equipped with a closing member for closing the drain port under the state that the grip portion is located at one end of the swingable range.
