BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicular ceiling air conditioner which is disposed on a vehicle ceiling and air-conditions a rear seat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional ceiling air conditioner for a vehicle, an air conditioning duct is disposed in a space between a vehicle ceiling cover (ceiling cover) and a vehicle roof, and a blower and a heat exchanger are provided in the air conditioning duct. Normally, the air sucked by the drive of the blower from the air intake opening on the side of the ceiling cover and opening above the vehicle interior side is sucked into the air conditioning duct through the space, and the heat exchanger is provided. After the heat is exchanged and temperature is adjusted, the air is blown into the vehicle interior from an air outlet opening into the vehicle interior.

[0003]

However, the conventional vehicular ceiling air conditioner has a problem that dust and tobacco smoke cannot be removed from the intake air of the air conditioner itself. When the purifier is independently mounted, there are problems such as a special wiring for driving the motor of the air purifier.

[0004] For this reason, the present invention can purify air by effectively utilizing an excess portion of a space defined by a ceiling cover in which a vehicle ceiling air conditioner is accommodated and a vehicle roof. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicular ceiling air conditioner that can use the surplus space as a storage.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, the present invention
A vehicle is provided in a space defined between a vehicle roof cover and a vehicle roof, the suction side is open to the space, and the discharge side is a vehicle.
Opened indoors, with less space between the suction side and the discharge side
An air conditioning duct having a blower and a heat exchanger;
When the machine is out of service, the storage box can be
Co and has a paid space, a case having a space side opening that opens into the passenger compartment opening and the space open to the passenger compartment, to be detachably attached to the housing space before Symbol Case
In the air inlet opening into the passenger compartment when mounted, mounting
An air outlet opening to the space sometimes, and the air inlet
And an air suction box having air purifying means mounted between the air outlet and the air outlet .

[0006]

Therefore, according to the present invention, the fan is not operated in the space defined by the ceiling cover and the vehicle roof.
There is a predetermined storage space where a storage box can be
While, arranged case having a space side opening that opens into the passenger compartment opening and before <br/> Symbol space open to the passenger compartment, in this case, detachable in the receiving space of the case
There is an air intake that opens into the vehicle interior when installed
An air outlet that opens into the space when mounted,
Air purification installed between the air intake and the air outlet
Means , the air in the vehicle cabin sucked by the operation of the air blower of the air conditioner is purified by the air purifying means of the air suction box , and then from the air outlet through the space. is taken into the air conditioning duct Te, since the temperature is adjusted can be blown into the passenger compartment, it is possible to perform the purification of the cabin air, also, since the air suction part is detachable, the air purification unit This facilitates cleaning or replacement. Further
To, in the case where not operate the air conditioning system, the air intake box
The above object can be achieved because the storage box can be removed and the storage box can be attached to be used as a storage case.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

A ceiling air conditioner 1 for a vehicle shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is arranged in a space 4 defined between a ceiling cover 2 covering the ceiling air conditioner 1 for a vehicle and a vehicle roof 3. The air conditioner includes at least an air conditioning duct 5, a blower 6 provided upstream of the air conditioning duct 5, and a heat exchanger 7 arranged downstream of the blower 6.

The upstream side of the air conditioning duct 2 is open to the space 4, and the downstream side is open to the vehicle interior 9 through an air conditioning grill 8.

An air suction portion 10 is provided in a surplus space of the space 4, in this embodiment, a space on the left and right of the air conditioning duct 5.

As shown in FIG. 3, the air suction portion 10 is composed of a case 11 and an air suction box 12, and the case 11 is provided in the space 4 as shown in FIG. a vehicle ceiling置空regulating device mounting bracket 13 shall be secured by direct bolt 27 is part, cabin opening which opens into the passenger compartment 9 (side open
The mouth 14 and the lower opening 15) and the side opening 14
It has a space side opening 16 on the opposite side . Ma
The case 11 has an air suction box 12 described below.
Or a predetermined size for storing the storage box 23 described below.
Storage space.

As shown in FIG. 5, an air suction box 12 detachably mounted in the case 11 has a box body 17 formed smaller than the case 11 and a box body 9 side of the box body 11. A lower air inlet 19 formed in the lower part of the box body 17 so as to communicate with the lower opening 15 of the case 11, and an air outlet 20 opened in the space 4.
And a suction grill 2 provided in the side air intake 18.
1 and a filter 22 on the air flow path inside the box main body 11.

In the vehicular ceiling air conditioner 1 having the above structure, when the blower 6 operates, the air suction box 1
Vehicle interior air is sucked from the side air intake 18 and the lower air intake 19 of the second. This air passes through a filter 22 to remove dust and smoke from cigarettes, etc., and is then sent from the air discharge port 20 of the air suction box 12 into the air conditioning duct 2 via the space 4 to form a heat exchanger 7. , And is blown out from the air blow-off grill 8 into the vehicle interior 9 to thereby control the temperature of the vehicle interior air and purify the air.

Further, the air suction box 12 can be detachably attached to the case 11 so that
The replacement of the filter 22 can be facilitated,
The air suction box 12 having a filter 22 mounted with an fragrance or an ozone deodorizing device can be freely mounted as required, and the air suction portion can have versatility.

Further, when the vehicular ceiling air conditioner 1 does not operate, for example, when the vehicular ceiling air conditioner 1 has only a heat exchanger for cooling, the storage box 23 shown in FIG. The air suction box 12 can be mounted on the case 11 instead of the air suction box 12 and used as a storage space. The storage box 23 has a storage chamber 25 formed by the front box main body 24 and has an opening / closing lid 26 on the vehicle interior side.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, a case is attached to a surplus portion of a space defined by a ceiling cover and a vehicle roof, and an air suction box having air purifying means detachably attached to the case. By installing, it is possible to easily purify the air in the vehicle interior, and because this air suction box was made removable,
This facilitates cleaning and replacement of the air suction box. When the ceiling air conditioner for a vehicle is not operated, a storage box or the like can be mounted instead of the air suction box, so that the space of the air suction box can be effectively used.
