Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] This invention relates to an air purifier for an automobile installed in a vehicle interior, and particularly relates to an improvement in the mounting structure of the air purifier.

[Prior art]

This type of automotive air purifier, which has been commonly known, is produced as an optional part.
Many devices are installed in automobiles in response to customer requests, and one example is an in-vehicle air purifier installed on a shelf installed at the rear of the seat (hereinafter referred to as rear parcel shelf). This will be explained using figures. In the figure, 1 is the roof of the car,
2 is the back seat of the above car, 3 is this back seat 2
Rear parcel shelf installed at the rear of 4
is an air purifier installed on this rear parcel shelf 3, and is composed of a case 5, a motor 6, a fan 7, and a dust collection unit 8, which will be described later. 5
is a case fixed on the rear parcel shelf 3, and has an inlet 5a and an outlet 5b, forming an air flow path. Reference numeral 6 denotes a motor built into the case 5, which is connected to a switch near the dash board (not shown) by a connection cord (not shown) installed from the side of the case 5 along the vehicle floor, etc. (not shown) to a battery (not shown, the same applies hereinafter). Reference numeral 7 denotes a fan driven by the motor 6, which circulates air within the vehicle compartment from the inlet 5a to the outlet 5b in the direction of the arrow in the figure. Reference numeral 8 denotes a breathable dust collection unit housed in the case 5, which is composed of a filter and the like, and removes dust from the air. Reference numeral 9 denotes a ceiling cover made of a heat insulating material fixed to the frame 1, and together with the roof 1 constitutes a ceiling section. A mounting seat 10 is welded to the roof 1 and has a screw hole 10a. Reference numeral 11 denotes a room lamp case, which is an interior component mounted on the ceiling of the vehicle interior, and is removably attached to a base plate 11a fixed by a bolt 12 screwed into the screw hole 10a. A room lamp (not shown) connected to a battery is provided inside the lamp cover 11b and a light-transmissive lamp cover 11b. In addition, the above-mentioned mounting seat 10 and substrate part 11
a and the bolt 12 constitute a mounting portion.

In the device configured as described above, when the switch is closed and the fan 7 is driven by the motor 6, the air inside the vehicle is sucked in through the intake port 5a, and the dust is removed through the dust collection unit 8. Then, air is blown into the vehicle interior from the air outlet 5b. Further, the operation of the room lamp is conventionally known.

However, since the air purifier 4 is configured to be installed on the rear parcel shelf 3, it has the drawback that it is difficult to install it in a car that is not equipped with a rear parcel shelf 3, such as a one-box car. It had

Therefore, as a countermeasure to this problem, a ceiling-mounted air purifier as shown in FIG. 2 has been considered. In the figure, reference numeral 5c denotes a board constituting a part of the air purifier case 5, which is fixed by bolts 12 to a mounting seat 10 provided for supporting the room lamp case. A room lamp case 11 is integrally formed with the case 5, and has a removable light-transmitting lamp cover 11b. 13
is a room lamp case built into the room lamp case 11, and is connected to a battery (not shown, the same applies hereinafter). Reference numeral 14 denotes a switch provided between the motor 6 and the battery, and is wired by a connection cord (not shown) provided along the back surface of the ceiling cover 9 and the like. The rest of the configuration is the same as that of the conventional device described above, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In the device configured as described above, the air purifier 4 can be easily installed on the ceiling by using the mounting seat 10 for the room lamp case, and can also be installed in a one-box car, for example. This has the advantage of being easy and not interfering with the occupants.

However, the room lamp case 11 must be formed integrally with the case 5 of the air purifier 4, and the cost of the air purifier 4 increases because the room lamp 13 is attached. The disadvantage was that the room lamp case 11 had to be discarded.

[Summary of the idea]

This idea was made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional device as described above.The board supporting the air purifier is formed to protrude from the case of the air purifier in the direction along the ceiling. By attaching the protruding part of the board to the mounting seat of the interior parts provided in the section, the interior parts and the air purifier can be installed side by side on the ceiling. The present invention provides an air purifying device for automobiles.

[Example of idea]

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. In the figure, 15 is a board that supports the air purifier 4, and has a mounting part formed to protrude from the case of the air purifier 4 in the direction along the ceiling cover 9, and a through hole 15a is formed in this mounting part. has been done. Further, 16 is a screw for fixing the air cleaner 4 to the board 15. Note that the other configurations are almost the same as the conventional example shown in FIG.

When installing the air cleaner 4 under such a configuration, first fix the air cleaner 4 to the board 15 with the screws 16, then use the bolts 12,
By tightening the mounting portion of the board 15 together with the board portion 11a of the room lamp case 11 to the mounting seat 10, the air purifier 4 can be mounted on the ceiling.

By configuring the air purifier 4 to be installed alongside the room lamp case 11 in this way, the air purifier 4 can be easily mounted on the ceiling and can be effectively installed without disposing of the room lamp case 11. It can be utilized. In addition, substrate 1
5 can be attached to the air cleaner 4, which has the advantage that there is no need to change the structure of the air cleaner 4 itself.

Figure 5 shows another embodiment of this invention.
Reference numeral 17 denotes a room mirror mounted on the ceiling together with the board 15 by screws 18. Even if it is configured in this way, the interior part of the rearview mirror 1
The air cleaner 4 can be mounted on the ceiling without disposing of the air cleaner 7, and similar effects can be expected.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, this invention forms a mounting part that protrudes from the air purifier along the ceiling on the board that supports the air purifier, and places this mounting part on the mounting seat of the interior part in parallel with the interior part. Because it is configured to be installed on the vehicle, interior parts can be used effectively without having to be discarded, and the air purifier can be easily mounted on the ceiling, resulting in a low-cost air purifier for automobiles. It has the effect of
