  FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the display unit 4a3. The structure of the display unit 4a3 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The display unit 4a3 includes a print film 4a31, a light guide plate 4a32, a touch switch substrate 4a33 that is a detection unit that detects a change in capacitance caused by touching the operation unit on the surface of the mirror glass plate 4a1, and a display substrate. The light shielding plate 4a34 having a hole so as to emit the light of the illumination means 4a35 only in the forward direction, and a control unit for controlling the illumination means (LED) on the substrate based on the detection result of the detection unit And a display substrate 4a35 and a case 4a36. The display unit 4a3 includes a light guide plate 4a32, a touch switch substrate 4a33, a light shielding plate 4a34, and a display substrate 4a35. The display unit 4a3 includes a case 4a36 to which a print film 4a31 is attached. Thus, the light is transmitted to the front surface of the mirror glass plate 4a1 so as to be lifted up.

  A printing film 4a31 with characters and symbols removed is attached to the surface of the display unit 4a3. The print film 4a31 is attached to the back surface of the mirror glass plate 4a1 so that there is very little contact or gap. Therefore, the character display can be clearly confirmed from the front through the mirror glass plate 4a1. In other words, the front panel 4a having an excellent appearance and having an outer surface constituted by the flat mirror glass plate 4a1 with high visibility is configured. Further, the printing color of the printing film 4a31 is adjusted so that there is no difference between the display portion and the surrounding light shielding coating when the mirror glass plate 4a1 is viewed from the front, and the appearance of the front panel 4a is uniform. The design is enhanced by making it look like paint.

  An LED for projecting the position of the detection unit is also mounted on the touch switch substrate 4a33, which is a detection unit that detects a change in capacitance, and the light guide plate 4a32 is disposed in close contact with the substrate surface of the touch switch substrate 4a33. Thus, the operation portion area on the surface of the mirror glass plate 4a1 is clearly projected with the light. Furthermore, the light guide plate 4a32 is also in close contact with the printing film 4a31.

  The display substrate 4a35 is for controlling the illumination means (LED) on the substrate based on the detection result of the detection unit by the touch switch substrate 4a33, and for transparently displaying the operation state on the mirror glass plate 4a1.

Do. When there is a change in the capacitance, an oscillation circuit that oscillates and changes in amplitude according to the change in the capacitance is included. As a result, the automatic control unit that has extracted the switch signal and the on / off signal output from the determination unit performs load drive output. Note that the determination unit may not output an on / off signal depending on the user's proximity to the mirror glass plate 4a1 surface operation unit or the user's wiping operation for cleaning.

  The printed film 4a31 of the display unit 4a3 is attached to the back surface of the mirror glass plate 4a1 facing the front surface operation portion of the mirror glass plate 4a1, and the character display is performed by LED light emission of the touch switch substrate 4a33 and the display substrate 4a35. , Clearly illuminated from the back.

Further, a human sensor 4a37 for detecting the presence of a person in front is built in the display unit 4a3, and it is detected that a person has entered the entrance even if the main body is installed with the power off. The flap 7 automatically opens at an angle of 45 ° in the front, starts to operate at the maximum air volume, and starts to suck the pollen blown around while blowing the wind toward the person standing in front like an air shower. At this time, the returnee can blow off pollen that adheres more effectively so that the whole body is exposed to wind while rotating around 180 °, or by removing the coat and other outerwear that was worn. .
When the maximum air flow is 9 m ³ / min or more, the effect of blowing off pollen can be increased. This air cleaner can only be seen from the front as a mirror for appearance, but it sucks the air from the entrance through the suction port located on the back side of the housing integrated into the back of the mirror, and it is 9 m while being a compact body. Air can be cleaned with a large air flow of ³ / min or more, and air is blown out from the upper back side of the mirror and blown to the returnee in front of the mirror, thus blowing off pollen and dust adhering to clothes. Thus, pollen can be removed at the entrance, and pollen entering the indoor living space can be greatly reduced.

  Built-in human sensor inside the front mirror surface, odor sensor and dust sensor on the side and rear of the housing, has a function to start operation automatically when a person stands in front of the mirror, and in the entrance space By detecting the concentration of odor components and dust and having the function of automatically reducing and stopping the operating state according to the decrease in concentration, an effective and energy-saving effect can be achieved. A sensor that detects that a person is standing in front can detect the person who has returned home and automatically start driving to remove pollen. It automatically switches until switching and eventually stops. This can provide an effective and energy saving effect.

If you want to avoid unnecessarily wind when entering the entrance, including outside the pollen season, it can be operated only as a normal air cleaner by setting the main body.
If no operation as an air purifier is required, the outlet may be unplugged.
In addition, the numerical values detected by the sensor of the air cleaner, such as pollen concentration and odor concentration,
Display and confirm the degree of cleanliness.
