Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a headlamp cleaner for a vehicle that ejects cleaning water for washing a headlamp for a vehicle during traveling, and more particularly to a headlamp cleaner for a vehicle that facilitates piping during assembly.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a device to wash the mud and insects that adhere to the headlamps of automobiles while driving and to recover the light emission performance, washing water is sprayed toward the headlamps on the top of the nozzle case that is conventionally fixed to the bumper. A headlamp cleaner is used that is composed of a cleaning water injection nozzle and a connecting pipe that communicates with the nozzle projects from the lower surface in the connecting direction.However, in this type of headlamp cleaner, the direction of the connecting pipe is fixed. As a result, the headlamp cleaner shown in Fig. 2 has been proposed as a structure that eliminates the drawback that it requires a design change depending on the type of vehicle on which it is installed. That is, the headlamp cleaner pivotally attaches the cylindrical portion of the connecting pipe 53 to the shaft hole 52 formed in the nozzle case 51 fixed to the bumper 50, and at the top of the connecting pipe 53. The wash water jet nozzle 54 is configured.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, in the above headlamp cleaner, when the connection pipe 53 is swung in the direction of the supply pipe of the washing water during mounting, the jet direction of the washing water jet nozzle 54 is also changed, and there is a problem that it cannot be used.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the connection pipe is swung in a convenient direction for piping while maintaining the wash water injection nozzle in a normal direction for vehicles having various piping positions. It is an object of the present invention to provide a headlamp cleaner for automobiles that can be moved.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, an automobile headlamp cleaner according to the present invention includes a nozzle case made of an appropriate material such as synthetic resin or rubber fixed to an automobile body through an appropriate attachment means, and a nozzle case of the nozzle case. A plurality of cleaning water injection nozzles are rotatably fitted in the fitting recesses formed on the upper surface side, and a plurality of nozzles are connected to the fitting recesses on the outer circumference with respect to the shaft holes drilled on the lower surface side of the nozzle case. The cylindrical shaft portion having the circumferential line is formed by swiveling and airtightly pressure-bonding the cylindrical shaft portion through a cylindrical packing, and the connecting pipe together with the cylindrical shaft portion is the washing water injection nozzle. The main point is to be able to turn independently of the.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, the connecting pipe axially attached to the nozzle case freely swivels independently of the cleaning water injection nozzle, so that the cleaning injection nozzle is held in the direction in which the cleaning water is ejected toward the headlamp when mounted. In this state, only the connecting pipe can be swung in the piping direction of the mounting vehicle type, which simplifies the mounting piping work.

[0007]

【Example】

 An embodiment of an automobile headlamp cleaner according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front sectional view of a headlamp cleaner, and 1 is a nozzle case made of an appropriate material such as synthetic resin or rubber. On the upper surface of the nozzle case 1, there is formed a fitting concave portion 4 in which the spherical base portion 3 of the cleaning water jet nozzle 2 is rotationally adjustable and airtightly fitted, and the bottom surface of the fitting concave portion 4 is formed. A tubular portion 6 that communicates with the drilled conduction hole 5 is provided so as to project in the lower surface direction to form a shaft hole 7. Reference numeral 8 denotes a connecting pipe that is bent at an angle in the middle abdomen and has one end as a connecting end 9 that communicates with the pipe on the wash water supply side. The peripheral strip 11 is formed, and the portion can be hermetically and rotationally displaced (arrow A) in the shaft hole 7 through a cylindrical packing 12 made of rubber or soft synthetic resin inserted in the shaft hole 7. It is formed by pressing and integrating. The washing water injection nozzle 2 has a water spouting projection 14 partially formed at the mouth end of a water passage hole 13 formed at the axial center of the spherical base 3, and the upper end of the water passage hole 13 at the lower end. A nozzle collar 15 that opens toward the water sprinkling protrusion 14 is fitted.

Reference numeral 16 is a tapping screw screwing screw port formed on the lower surface of the nozzle case 1, which forms a mounting means for the bumper.

In the automobile headlamp cleaner having the above-described structure, the nozzle case 1 is fixed to the upper surface of the bumper a of the automobile, and the connecting end 9 of the connecting pipe 8 having the through hole formed in the bumper a is washed. The end of the pipe b on the water supply side is connected and communicated. At the time of this connection, since the connecting pipe 8 freely swivels with respect to the cylindrical shaft portion 10, the direction of the connecting end 9 can be changed according to the position of the pipe b on the wash water supply side to facilitate the connection. it can.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 Since the vehicle headlamp cleaner according to the present invention is configured as described above, the direction of the connection end can be changed according to the position of the pipe on the wash water supply side without deteriorating the airtightness. It is possible to construct a headlamp cleaning device that can be attached to a headlamp and has excellent features such as facilitating the mounting work, and the practical effect after implementing the present invention is extremely large.
