BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a washer tank mounted on a vehicle such as an automobile, and more particularly to a washer tank with a filter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art
This type of vehicle is equipped with a washer tank for storing washer fluid for window cleaning. There are things.

[0003] As such, Shokai Sho 5
As described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-46449, a basket-shaped filter that fits inside the liquid inlet is used. The shape of the liquid inlet is such that dust does not enter the tank from the gap between the liquid inlet and the filter. It is necessary to fit the filter with the filter. However, once the filter is installed, it gradually swells due to the liquid of the washer fluid, and cannot be removed when trying to remove the filter for cleaning or the like. Must be provided, and there is a problem that dust enters through the gap.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to provide a filter tank with a filter capable of eliminating these drawbacks in view of the above-mentioned circumstances. In a washer tank with a filter provided with a filter in the mouth, a rib extending in the axial direction and having a lower end coinciding with a lower opening edge of the mouth member is provided on an inner peripheral surface of a mouth member serving as a liquid inlet of the washer tank. A filter is integrally provided at a lower end of the rib and a lower opening edge of the mouse member, and the mouse member is detachably fitted to a liquid inlet of the washer tank.

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent dust from entering the tank when the washer solution is injected by this configuration.

[0006]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a washer tank mounted on a vehicle. A pump 2 is mounted on the bottom of the washer tank 1, and the washer fluid in the tank 1 is discharged by a washer nozzle (not shown) based on the operation of the pump 2. ) Is configured as in the related art.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a cylinder for measuring the amount of fuel remaining protruding upward from the washer tank 1. The cylinder 3 for measuring the amount of remaining fuel is formed of a transparent material. A float 4 that moves up and down according to a change in the remaining amount of the washer fluid in the tank 1 is accommodated in the remaining amount measuring cylinder 3. By reading the position of the float 4, the remaining amount of the washer fluid can be checked.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a mouse detachably attached to the upper end of the remaining amount measuring cylinder 3 to form a washer liquid injection port, and the outer periphery of the mouse 5 is open on both upper and lower sides. It has a cylindrical shape, and a lid 6 for closing the opening is attached to the upper opening end so as to be openable and closable.

Further, in the lower half of the inner peripheral surface of the mouse 5,
A plurality of ribs 7 having a vertical plate shape are radially extended toward the center side, and the upper end edge of each rib 7 is formed in a tapered shape so as to become lower toward the center side. And rib 7
The lower edge of the lower end can restrict further floating of the float 4 that moves up and down in the cylinder 3 for measuring the remaining amount. (Not shown), the nozzle can be guided by the tapered portion 7 a to the nozzle hole 8 formed by the inner peripheral edge of the rib 7.

A circular filter 11 made of a material such as nylon is integrally attached to the lower opening edge of the mouse 5 by molding or the like. Even if dust enters, the dust is removed by the filter 11 so as not to enter the remaining amount measuring cylinder 3.
The filter 11 is reinforced by the lower edge of the rib 7. By the way, the rib 7 is
It is also used as a guide for the injection nozzle, but is not limited to this. Anything that reinforces the filter 11 is sufficient, and its shape, size, and the like can be appropriately changed as necessary. Needless to say, the present embodiment is not particularly limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention constructed as described above, a mouse 5 for injecting washer fluid is fixed to the upper end of the cylinder 3 for measuring the remaining amount. In the prior art, a filter 11 is attached to the lower opening edge, so that dust does not enter through a gap between the liquid inlet and the filter as in the conventional case, and the washer liquid is injected by the filter 11. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent a problem that dust enters the tank 1 and causes clogging of a washer nozzle or the like. Besides, Filter 1
In the case where 1 is clogged, it is sufficient to remove the mouse 5 from the remaining amount measuring cylinder 3 and clean it. At this time, the mouse itself becomes a handle and can be easily removed.
Cleaning can be performed very easily, the workability of the cleaning work can be greatly improved, and the filter 11 can be always used without any clogging.

Moreover, since the filter 11 is reinforced by the ribs 7 for restricting the float 4 from rising, the filter 11 can be prevented from being carelessly deformed. good.

[0013]

In summary, since the present invention is constructed as described above, the mouth member is removably fastened to the opening of the washer tank so that the washer solution can be injected from the mouth member. The mouse member is provided by a filter integrally provided on the lower opening edge,
The garbage can be removed when injecting washer fluid,
As a result, it is possible to reliably avoid problems such as dust entering the tank and causing clogging of the washer nozzle. In addition, if the filter becomes clogged, simply remove the mouse from the opening and clean it.
As a result, the filter can be cleaned very easily,
While greatly improving the workability of cleaning,
The filter can always be used without any clogging and is cleaned.
