  The medicine spraying device 1 according to the first embodiment is a medicine spraying device for spraying medicine into the interior of an automobile. The drug spraying device 1 includes a capacitor 2, a first drug spraying unit 5, and a second drug spraying unit 7.

The capacitor 2 is charged by the in-vehicle power source when the in-vehicle power source (not shown) of the automobile is on, and is discharged when the in-vehicle power source is off. The type and electric capacity of the capacitor 2 are not particularly limited, but the type can be, for example, a large capacity capacitor such as an electric double layer capacitor. Moreover, the electric capacity of the capacitor 2 is set to such an electric capacity that the first drug spraying unit 5 can be appropriately operated for about 1 to 10 minutes by the discharge current of the capacitor 2, for example.
Although the circuit configuration of the medicine spraying device 1 for the capacitor 2 to perform such an operation is not particularly limited, for example, it can be configured as shown in FIG.

  The circuit illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a capacitor 2, a charging voltage defining resistor 3, a diode 4, a first drug spraying unit 5, a switch unit 6, and a second drug spraying unit 7. . This circuit is housed in the case 13 as shown in FIG. FIG. 1 shows the circuit in a state where it passes through the case 13. Case 13 itself may be transparent, translucent, or opaque.

  The charging voltage defining resistor 3 defines the charging voltage of the capacitor 2. Although this charging voltage is not specifically limited, For example, it sets to the voltage which can operate the 1st chemical | medical agent dispersion | distribution part 5 appropriately about 1 to 10 minutes with the discharge current of the capacitor | condenser 2, for example.

  The diode 4 prevents the discharge current from the capacitor 2 from flowing backward to the in-vehicle power supply side.

  The first medicine spraying unit 5 sprays the first medicine using the discharge current of the capacitor 2 as a power source. The first medicine is a medicine that is preferably sprayed during parking where no person is present in the passenger compartment. Examples of the first drug include insecticides, bactericides, and deodorants, but insecticides are mainly applied. The case 13 has an opening (not shown) for spraying the first medicine.

  As a spraying method of the 1st chemical | medical agent spraying part 5, a heater heating type can be mentioned, for example. In this case, a pyrethroid insecticide can be suitably used as the insecticide.

  Alternatively, as another spraying method, a fan blower type can be cited. In this case, an insecticide containing melftrine or fenitrothion as an active ingredient can be suitably used as the insecticide.

  The switch unit 6 prevents current from flowing from the in-vehicle power source and the capacitor 2 into the first medicine spraying unit 5 when the in-vehicle power source is on. In addition, the switch unit 6 permits the current to flow from the capacitor 2 into the first medicine spraying unit 5 when the on-vehicle power supply is off. Although the specific configuration of the switch unit 6 is not particularly limited, the example shown in FIG. 1 includes a pnp transistor 10 and a transistor control resistor 11 that defines an operating voltage of the transistor 10. The transistor 10 and the transistor control resistor 11 may be replaced with a relay (not shown).

Here, “the on-vehicle power supply is on” means that the accessory power supply (ACC) of the automobile is on (ACC-ON). The accessory power source is a power source that supplies power to in-vehicle accessories (audio etc.). Generally, the vehicle start key such as an ignition key is inserted into the key hole and twisted one or more steps (the accessory switch is turned on in this position). )). Alternatively, in a push-type engine start system that starts an accessory or engine by pressing an engine start button, a power source that energizes the accessory in a state where the accessory switch is turned on by a predetermined start button operation may be used. Alternatively, it is also called an auxiliary power source.
Further, “the vehicle power supply is off” means that the accessory power supply of the automobile is off.
A power supply control circuit (not shown) for turning on / off the accessory power without an operation of twisting the vehicle start key may be provided separately. For example, when the driver releases the door lock from outside the vehicle to get on, the unlocking operation is detected, and when the driver locks the door from outside the vehicle to park, the locking operation is detected. A detector (not shown) is provided. When the detector detects a release operation, the power supply control circuit turns on the accessory power supply. When the detector detects a locking operation, the power supply control circuit turns off the accessory power supply. It may be.

The second medicine spraying unit 7 sprays the second medicine using the current from the in-vehicle power source as a power source when the in-vehicle power source is on. A 2nd chemical | medical agent is a chemical | medical agent with which it is preferable to be spread | dispersed when a person exists in a vehicle interior. Examples of the second drug include fragrances.
The spraying method of the 2nd chemical | medical agent spraying part 7 is not specifically limited, Any of a heater heating type and a fan ventilation type may be sufficient. The case 13 has an opening (not shown) for spraying the second medicine.

The medicine spraying device 1 is provided, for example, in the passenger compartment of the automobile 8 as illustrated in FIG. Specifically, the medicine spraying device 1 is detachably connected to, for example, a cigarette lighter socket provided on the dashboard of the automobile 8. When the vehicle-mounted power supply is turned on with the medicine spraying device 1 connected to the cigarette lighter socket, the capacitor 2 is charged by the vehicle-mounted power supply.
With the attachment and detachment of the medicine spraying device 1, the ACC line and the GND line in FIG. 1 are connected / disconnected to the positive-side electric wire and the negative-side electric wire (both not shown) of the accessory power source, respectively.

  The automobile 8 illustrated in FIG. 2 includes an intrusion detection device 9 that can detect an object that has entered the vehicle interior. The intrusion detection device 9 is a device for detecting an illegal intrusion of a person into the vehicle interior. The detection method of the intrusion detection device 9 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a radio wave detection method and an ultrasonic detection method. For example, the intrusion detection device 9 is disposed on the ceiling surface above the driver's seat as shown in FIG. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the intrusion detection device 9 sets a region including both a front seat and a rear seat as a detection region 12.

  This type of intrusion detection device 9 also detects intruding objects other than detection targets such as mosquitoes. When the intrusion detection device 9 detects an insect such as a mosquito, an alarm device (not shown) connected to the intrusion detection device 9 performs an unnecessary alarm operation. The medicine spraying device 1 removes insects that cause malfunctions of the intrusion detection device 9 and the alarm device during parking where there is no person in the passenger compartment.

Hereinafter, the operation of the medicine spraying device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.
While the automobile 8 is in operation, the in-vehicle power supply is on. At this time, the 2nd chemical | medical agent dispersion | distribution part 7 act | operates by using the electric current from direct current vehicle-mounted power supply (ACC) as a power source. Specifically, the second medicine spraying unit 7 sprays the fragrance into the passenger compartment by heating a heater or rotating a fan. Since electric power is obtained directly from the on-vehicle power source, the second medicine spraying unit 7 can continue heating the heater or rotating the fan.

  When the in-vehicle power source is turned on, the current from the in-vehicle power source charges the capacitor 2. At this time, the capacitor 2 does not discharge the accumulated charge. The charging voltage of the capacitor 2 is determined by the resistance value of the charging voltage defining resistor 3.

  When the in-vehicle power source is turned on, the current from the in-vehicle power source is interrupted by the switch unit 6, and the current does not flow into the first medicine spraying unit 5. Therefore, when the vehicle-mounted power supply is on, the first medicine spraying unit 5 does not operate. Therefore, the first medicine such as an insecticide which is not preferably sprayed when a person is present in the passenger compartment is not sprayed.

  Next, the driver stops the automobile 8 and turns off the in-vehicle power source by turning the ignition key. The driver locks the door and leaves the vehicle (parks the vehicle). Then, the 2nd chemical | medical agent dispersion | distribution part 7 becomes impossible to receive supply of electric power from anywhere, and the dispersion | spreading operation | movement of a fragrance | flavor stops. When the on-vehicle power supply is turned off, the capacitor 2 starts discharging. Since the flow direction of the discharge current is regulated by the diode 4, the discharge current does not flow into the second medicine spraying unit 7.

  The first medicine spraying unit 5 starts spraying the first medicine using the discharge current of the capacitor 2 as a power source. That is, when the on-vehicle power supply is turned off, the switch unit 6 releases the interruption of the current, so that the discharge current of the capacitor 2 flows through the first medicine spraying unit 5.

  When the first drug is an insecticide, the insecticide controls insects in the passenger compartment. The first medicine is sprayed while the vehicle is parked when there is no person in the passenger compartment. Due to the discharge current of the capacitor 2, the first medicine spraying unit 5 operates appropriately for about 1 to 10 minutes, for example. When the capacitor 2 discharges all charges, the first medicine spraying unit 5 stops the first medicine spraying operation.

  Next, the driver returns to the automobile 8, opens the door, turns the ignition key, and turns on the on-vehicle power source again. Then, the switch unit 6 interrupts the current flowing through the first medicine spraying unit 5. Thereby, the distribution of the first medicine by the first medicine spraying unit 5 is surely stopped. Therefore, the insecticide does not give the driver an unpleasant feeling. In addition, if discharge of the capacitor | condenser 2 is complete | finished by turning on a vehicle-mounted power supply again, spraying of the 1st chemical | medical agent has already stopped by turning a vehicle-mounted power supply on again. Since the passenger compartment is small, insecticides and the like can be sufficiently performed even when the discharge current of the capacitor 2 is used as a power source.

  The second medicine spraying unit 7 starts to operate again using the current from the in-vehicle power source as a power source. Thereby, the 2nd medicine is spread. When the second medicine is a fragrance, the driver can comfortably drive in the atmosphere of the fragrance.

  As described above, the medicine spraying device 1 according to the first embodiment sprays a first medicine such as an insecticide while the vehicle is parked, and sprays a second medicine such as a fragrance while the vehicle is operating. Therefore, the first medicine such as an insecticide does not give the driver an unpleasant feeling. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the intrusion detection sensor and the alarm device from malfunctioning by removing the insects.

In addition, in the said 1st Embodiment, although two chemical | medical agent spraying parts, the 1st chemical | medical agent spraying part 5 and the 2nd chemical | medical agent spraying part 7, were provided, only the 1st chemical | medical agent spraying part 5 was provided as a chemical | medical agent spraying part. It is good also as a structure.
In the first embodiment, a delay circuit (not shown) that starts discharging the capacitor 2 after a predetermined time has elapsed from the time when the in-vehicle power supply is turned off may be separately provided. This predetermined time can be set to, for example, about the time it takes for the driver to get out of the vehicle to get out of the vehicle after removing the ignition key. By providing such a delay circuit, the medicine spraying device 1 can spray the first medicine after the driver goes out of the vehicle.

  The medicine spraying device according to the present invention and a vehicle equipped with this device can be used as means for preventing malfunction of the intrusion detection sensor in a vehicle equipped with the intrusion detection sensor.
