Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an automobile air purifier of the type in which an air purifier is installed in the trunk of an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As a conventional vehicle air cleaner of this type, there is one having a structure as shown in FIG. Reference numeral 1 is a rear parcel shelf that separates a vehicle compartment from a trunk room, and 2 is a lower surface of the rear parcel shelf 1, that is, an air purifier attached to the trunk room side, and an upper surface of the air purifier 2. An air intake hole 3 and an air exhaust hole 4 are provided in the vehicle, and the air intake hole 3 and the air exhaust hole 4 penetrate through a through hole 5 formed in the rear parcel shell 1 and are directed to the inside of the vehicle. ing. Further, a filter unit 6 for dust collection, deodorization, etc. is installed inside the air purifier 2 so that it can be pulled out. A rear window 7 is provided with a wiper 8 outside the rear window, and a drive mechanism 9 for driving the wiper 8 is located inside the trunk room.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional vehicle air cleaner 2, the filter unit 6 incorporated therein is pulled out in a substantially horizontal direction by opening the trunk so that the filter unit 6 can be replaced or cleaned. However, in the case of a vehicle body with a narrow rear parcel shelf 1 or a vehicle body in which the rear window 7 is equipped with a wiper 8, when the filter unit 6 is pulled out, as shown in the figure, the wiper drive mechanism 9 is used. Alternatively, the filter unit 6 may hit the wall of the vehicle body, making it difficult or impossible to remove the filter unit 6. Depending on the size or structure of the vehicle body, a rear-type air purifier may be installed on the rear parcel shelf. There was a problem that I could not do it.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems.In a vehicle air purifier that is used by being attached to a rear parcel shell, the case of the air purifier can be divided into an upper case and a lower case. By opening the upper case and the lower case, it is possible to easily attach and detach the filter unit mounted inside the case, and provide an air cleaner for a vehicle that can be applied to various vehicle bodies. To do.

【Example】

 The present invention will be described in detail below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numeral 11 denotes a case of an air purifier attached to a lower surface of a rear parcel shelf of an automobile. The case 11 includes an air suction port 13 and an air discharge port 13. A lower case 16 which is rotatably supported by a support shaft 15 on the side of the upper case 14 in which the filter unit 17 can be attached and detached. It is attached to the. Reference numeral 18 denotes a notch formed on the edges of the air suction port 13 and the air discharge port 13 and into which the torsion bar 19 installed in the trunk room of the vehicle can be fitted.

As shown in FIG. 5, the lower case 16 can be pivoted downward about a support shaft 15 to be opened, and at the time of this opening, the filter unit 17 mounted on the lower case 16 can be removed. Can be done easily.

When the lower case 16 is closed to the upper case 14, there is provided locking means for maintaining the closed state. The locking means is, as shown in FIG. 3, a peripheral edge of the upper case 14. Is provided with a locking piece 21 having a locking groove 20, and a locking piece 23 having a locking groove 22 is provided on the peripheral edge of the lower case 14, and both locking grooves 20, 22 are provided. The upper case 14 and the lower case 16 are closed and the both locking pieces 21, 23 are butted against each other. The closed state with both cases 14 and 16 is maintained by fitting the locking body 24 across.

Reference numeral 7 is a rear window, 8 is a rear wiper, 9 is a drive mechanism for the rear wiper, and 10 is a rear seat.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the lower case 16 is rotated downward with respect to the upper case 14 by the support shaft 15 positioned in the horizontal direction, and the lower case 16 is opened. Since the filter unit 17 is detachably held on the lower case 16, attachment / detachment work of the filter unit 17 mounted in the air purifier is performed, for example, in a vehicle body with a narrow rear parcel shelf or a rear wiper. Even if the vehicle body is provided with the above, it is extremely easy, so that the workability such as maintenance of the filter unit 17 installed in the air cleaner of the present embodiment attached to various vehicle bodies is greatly improved. It is a thing.

[0011]

[Effect of the device]

 The present invention described above is an air purifier for a vehicle, which is held on the lower surface of a rear parcel shelf of a vehicle and has a filter unit and a fan inside the case. The case is fixed to the rear parcel shelf 1. A vehicle air purifier comprising an upper case 14 and a lower case 16 which is attached to the lower side of the upper case 14 via a support shaft 15 so as to be openable and closable and has a filter unit 17 detachably held. Therefore, according to this, since the lower case 16 can be opened and closed with the support shaft 15 as a fulcrum, the filter unit 17 held by the lower case 16 can be attached and detached very easily. The workability such as maintenance of the filter unit 17 installed in the air purifier of the present embodiment is greatly improved. Effect that the above is obtained. In addition, the reduction of the trunk volume due to the installation of the air purifier can be minimized.
