BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a remote control device for an on-vehicle air cleaner.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, attention has been paid to the harmful effects of cigarette smoke, and the installation of air purifiers for passenger cars is increasing.

[0003] In addition, the operation is performed by operating a switch provided on the air purifier body, or the control wire is routed from the air purifier to the vicinity of the driver's seat, and the operation is performed from the driver's seat. There is. Furthermore, some air purifiers are equipped with a smoke sensor that detects cigarette smoke and are activated when cigarette smoke is present.

0004

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, with the above method, it is not possible to operate the car while driving,
In order to install the wiring, the interior material inside the car must be removed, the wiring performed, and the interior material reinstalled. Furthermore, even if a person smokes in the driver's seat, the smoke does not reach the smoke sensor in the air purifier body immediately, and the air purifier does not operate promptly.

[0005] The present invention solves these problems and eliminates the need for special wiring work when installing an on-vehicle air purifier, is easy to operate, and reacts immediately to cigarette smoke. The present invention provides a remote control device for an on-vehicle air purifier.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve this object, the remote control device for a vehicle air purifier of the present invention includes an infrared remote control receiver in the air purifier body, and a smoke sensor operated by a solar battery. The system consists of an infrared remote control transmitter installed in front of the driver's seat.

[0007] Furthermore, solar cells are backed up by secondary batteries.

[0008]

[Operation] With this configuration, there is no need for wiring between the in-vehicle air purifier and the infrared remote control transmitter that is the operation part, and since the infrared remote control transmitter is operated by solar cells, other wiring is not required. This eliminates the need for the system, making it easier to operate and allowing the driver to pay more attention to safe driving. Furthermore, since the infrared remote control transmitter is equipped with a smoke sensor, it immediately reacts to cigarette smoke smoked by the driver. The solar battery is backed up by a secondary battery, so it can be operated at night or on cloudy days.

[0009]

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

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an infrared remote control transmitter that includes a solar cell 10, a secondary battery 11, and a smoke sensor 12. Reference numeral 2 denotes an on-vehicle air purifier, which is equipped with an infrared remote control receiver 9 inside. Reference numeral 3 indicates an infrared ray, 4 is a driver's seat, 5 is a rear seat, 6 is a steering wheel, 7a and 7b are wheels, and 8 is a rear tray.

The operation of the remote control device for a vehicle air cleaner constructed as described above will be explained below.

By installing the infrared remote control transmitter 1 on the ceiling or sun visor in front of the driver's seat 4, the driver can operate the infrared remote control transmitter 1 while driving and with minimal movement of his/her line of sight. By the above operation, infrared rays 3 are emitted from the infrared remote control transmitter 1 and reach the infrared remote control receiver 9 provided inside the vehicle air cleaner 2 installed on the rear tray 8.

[0013] This makes it possible to switch the operation of the vehicle air purifier, for example, stop, strong wind, weak wind, automatic, etc. Furthermore, since the infrared remote control transmitter 1 is equipped with a smoke sensor 12, the distance between the smoke sensor 12 and the smoker is short, and cigarette smoke is immediately detected, and the presence of smoke is transmitted to the infrared remote control receiver 9. . Furthermore, since the infrared remote control transmitter 1 uses a solar cell 10 and is equipped with a backup battery 11, it can be operated at night or even in cloudy weather.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by attaching a remote control device including an infrared remote control transmitter equipped with a solar cell, a secondary battery, and a smoke sensor to an on-vehicle air purifier, no cloth can be used. This means that the driver can operate the in-vehicle air purifier from the driver's seat without any wiring work, and the smoke sensor can be placed near the smoker or the driver.

[0015]

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides an in-vehicle air purifier equipped with an infrared remote control receiver, which operates using a solar cell and a secondary battery, and which is equipped with a smoke sensor and which can be operated from the driver's seat. By placing it in the front, the control unit for the in-vehicle air purifier can be installed without any wiring work, and the driver can operate the in-vehicle air purifier installed at the rear while sitting in the driver's seat. . What's more, when you smoke a cigarette, the air purifier starts working immediately, increasing the comfort inside the vehicle and allowing you to focus on safe driving.
