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. are doing. Furthermore, some air purifiers are equipped with a smoke sensor that detects cigarette smoke and are activated when cigarette smoke is present.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with the above configuration, operations may not be possible while driving the car.
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 is provided with an infrared remote control receiver in the air purifier body, operated by a solar battery, and equipped with an ultraviolet sensor. The infrared remote control transmitter is located in front of the driver's seat.

[0007] This ultraviolet sensor selectively detects the ultraviolet spectrum contained in fire or flame.

[0008] Furthermore, solar cells are backed up by secondary batteries.

[0009]

[Operation] With this configuration, the infrared remote control transmitter is installed in front of the driver's seat, so it can be operated while driving. By the above operation, infrared rays are emitted from the infrared remote control transmitter and reach the infrared remote control receiver inside the vehicle air cleaner installed on the rear tray. In addition, the infrared remote control transmitter is equipped with an ultraviolet sensor, so it immediately reacts to the ultraviolet rays contained in the phosphorous-sized flame used to light a cigarette and the ultraviolet rays contained in the cigarette. Furthermore, since the infrared remote control transmitter is installed in front of the driver's seat, it is relatively out of the shadow of the occupants and can detect the ultraviolet rays contained in fires and flames. Since the solar battery is backed up by a secondary battery, the infrared remote control transmitter can be operated even at night or on cloudy days.

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

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an infrared remote control transmitter that includes a solar cell 10, a secondary battery 11, and an ultraviolet sensor 12. Reference numeral 2 denotes an on-vehicle air purifier, which is equipped with an infrared remote control receiver 9 inside. 3 is an illustration of infrared rays, 4 is a driver's seat, 5 is a rear seat, 6 is a steering wheel, 7a, 7
b is a wheel, 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.

[0014] 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 an ultraviolet sensor 12, the distance between the ultraviolet sensor 12 and the smoker is short, so it can reliably detect the ultraviolet rays contained in a lit cigarette or a phosphorus-sized flame, and cause the cigarette to light up. The occurrence of cigarette 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 this 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 cleaner, no wiring is required. This means that the driver can operate the in-vehicle air purifier from the driver's seat without any construction work, and the ultraviolet sensor can be placed near the smoker or driver.

[0016]

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides an in-vehicle air purifier with an infrared remote control receiver, operates on a solar cell and a secondary battery, and allows the infrared remote control transmitter equipped with an ultraviolet sensor to be transmitted 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.
