Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a protective cover for a vehicle that protects the vehicle from sunlight and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art In order to protect the paint etc. of a vehicle, such as a passenger car, from sunlight and dust, a protective cover made of cloth, plastic sheet, etc. is used to cover the top surface of the vehicle.

However, under direct sunlight, especially in the hot summer, the inside of the protective cover becomes extremely hot, causing deformation and thermal deterioration of the materials that make up the vehicle.

Particularly in recent years, the use of plastic for vehicle bodies and parts has increased, and thermal deformation due to high temperatures is highly likely to directly lead to failure.

This invention was developed with the above points in mind.
To provide a protective cover that can air-cool the inside of the cover that covers a protected vehicle.

That is, the protective cover for a vehicle of the present invention includes a cover that covers a protected vehicle, a plurality of spacers that provide ventilation gaps between the protected vehicle and the cover, and a solar light-receiving surface exposed on the outer surface of the cover. The present invention is characterized in that it is comprised of a battery, and a ventilation device that is supplied with power to the solar battery and is disposed in the ventilation gap to ventilate between the protected vehicle and the cover.

The details of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings showing one embodiment thereof.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a protective cover 1 of the present invention placed on a protected vehicle, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof.

In the figure, numeral 1 is the protective cover 1 of the present invention,
First, a solar cell 3 is attached to the protective cover 1 at a position above the ceiling of the protected vehicle 2 with its light-receiving surface 4 exposed.

On the other hand, a spacer 6 is arranged inside the protective cover 1 to provide a ventilation gap 5 between the protected vehicle 2 and the cover 1. Spacer 6 is the protected vehicle 2
In order to provide sufficient ventilation gaps 5 between the cover 1 and the cover 1, a plurality of them are provided at key points. Spacer 6
It is preferable that the material is made of rubber, plastic, or other material that is hard enough not to damage the vehicle. It may be in the shape of a block or a bent plate, but it is preferable that it has a shape that does not obstruct the flow of air for ventilation, which will be described later.

Furthermore, a ventilation device 7 is attached to the protective cover 1 of the present invention between the spacers 6, on the sides of the spacers 6, or inside the spacers. This ventilation device includes one configured to rotate blades using a well-known motor as a driving force.

FIG. 3 shows a more specific example of the structure, in which a solar cell unit 3 is placed on the top surface of the cover 1, a cylindrical spacer 6 is placed on the bottom surface of the cover 1, and both are fixed with screws 8. It is something.

A motor 9 and blades 10 are fixed within the spacer 6, and power is supplied to the motor 9 by the solar cell 3. Other spacers may be fixed to the back surface of the protective cover 1 or prepared separately from the protective cover 1. A portion of the protective cover may be processed to form a convex portion to function as a spacer.

In the vehicle protective cover of the present invention constructed as described above, the stronger the sunlight irradiation, the greater the electromotive force of the solar cell, and the stronger the effect of the ventilation system. Since a layer of air with a relatively low temperature and low thermal conductivity is formed between the cover and the protected vehicle, the temperature of the vehicle does not easily rise.

Compared to a vehicle in which a ventilation system is attached to the vehicle itself to prevent the temperature of the vehicle from rising, the protected vehicle of the present invention can keep the vehicle at a lower temperature because it reflects radiant heat.

In the above embodiment, the ventilation system operates even in the winter, and there is a risk of overcooling, but if a cover is provided to cover the light-receiving surface of the solar cell, the function can be stopped in the winter. Alternatively, you can turn it off in the winter by turning off the switch between the solar battery and the motor.
