Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to an on-vehicle air cleaner installed on an automobile glue keeper shelf.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional air purifier of this type includes, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, an electric blower 3 consisting of a motor 1 and a fan 2 driven by the motor 1, and a filter 4 for filtering contaminated air. It is known that a purifier main body 5 having a built-in body is provided with an intake port 6 and an exhaust lower, the contaminated air sucked through the intake port 6 is filtered by a filter 4, and the clean air is discharged through the exhaust lower. It is being In this air purifier, if the filter 4 is used for a certain period of time, dust will adhere to it and the performance will deteriorate, so it is necessary to take it out and clean it or replace it with a new one. It is normally placed near the front of the cleaner body 5 so that it can be detachably attached to the cleaner body 5 and can be easily attached and detached in the limited space inside the vehicle.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention When the in-vehicle air purifier having such a configuration is placed on the rear parcel shelf 9 behind the rear seat 8 of an automobile as shown in FIG. The space between the seat 8 and the rear window 10 is generally narrow, so the size of the air purifier placed on the rear parcel shelf 9 cannot be increased! ! In addition, the rear window 10 is generally inclined so that it becomes lower toward the rear side 9, and as shown by the solid line in FIG. 7, if the depth dimension of the purifier body 5 is increased, the height dimension must be decreased. However, as shown by the two-dot chain line in Figure 7, if the height dimension of the air purifier main body 6 is increased, the depth dimension must be reduced, and it is also necessary to ensure visibility at the rear of the air purifier. A balance of size and shape is required. Therefore, the motor 1 and the fan 2. The filter 4 can only be used if it is small and has a small area, and the filter 4 has a large ventilation resistance and low air blowing performance. However, the performance as an air purifier could not be fully satisfied.

The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and aims to lower the height of the air purifier without reducing the air blowing performance, and to ensure visibility in the space in which it is distributed. It is something.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a thin, rectangular purifier body with a filter installed almost horizontally, and a motor and a fan mounted in the upper center of the purifier body. An electric blower is provided, and an intake port is provided at the lower end of the purifier body, and an exhaust port is provided at the upper end, and the filter is configured to be freely inserted and withdrawn from one side of the purifier body.

Effect: With this configuration, the area of the filter can be increased, the ventilation resistance of the filter can be reduced, and the ventilation performance can be improved.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 6, reference numeral 11 denotes a purifier body consisting of an upper body 12 and a lower body 13, which is formed into a rectangular plan shape long in the left-right direction, and has a fan case in the center of the upper body 12 that protrudes upward. 14 are integrally formed. The parts of the purifier main body 11 other than the part where the fan case 14 protrudes are formed to be thin.

An electric blower 17 consisting of a motor 15 and a fan 16 located below the motor 15 is provided inside the fan case 14 . Reference numeral 18 denotes a communication port formed between the lower end of the fan case 14 and the upper end of the upper body 12 on the lower side of the fan 16 . In addition, a flexible dielectric filter or the like is inserted into the inside of the purifier body 11 through a filter attachment/detachment opening 19 formed between the side of the upper body 12 and the side of the lower body 18. A vertical filter 20 is provided horizontally. This filter 20 is formed into a rectangular planar shape in accordance with the shape of the purifier main body 11. Further, one end of the filter 20 is held between a filter holder 21 and inserted deep into the purifier main body 11, and the filter holder 21 is connected to a rib 22 formed inside the purifier main body 11, specifically, the lower main body 13. At the same time, the other end of the filter 20 is connected to the filter attachment/detachment port 19.
It is supported in a state where it is inserted into the Furthermore, the vicinity of the other end of the filter 20 is received by a lip 28 formed inside the lower body 18 near the filter attachment/detachment port 19. A string 24 that protrudes outward from the purifier body 11 is connected to the filter holder 21, and when inserting the filter 20 into the purifier body 11, one end of the filter 2G is held between the filter holder 21. By pulling the string 24 in the soldered state, the filter 20 is moved and inserted into the purifier main body 11. The string 24 has a length such that one end thereof protrudes from the purifier main body 11 when the filter holder 21 is pulled out from the filter attachment/detachment port 19. Furthermore, inside the purifier main body 11, below the filter 20, there are a large number of discharge wires 25 to which a positive voltage is applied, and a large number of discharge wires 25 located at a position between the discharge wires 25 and 26. A counter electrode, pole 26, is provided which is grounded to the wire 25.

27 is an intake port formed at the lower end of the purifier main body 11;
28 is an exhaust port formed at the rear of the fan case 14. 29 is a leg provided on the lower surface of the purifier body 11, and when the air purifier is placed on the rear parcel shelf 31 behind the rear seat 30 of an automobile as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the air purifier is cleaned. A space is formed below the container body 11. 32 is a rear window.

To explain the operation in the above configuration, the dust in the air sucked from the intake port 27 by the rotation of the fan 16 is charged by the group line 25, and is efficiently captured and filtered by the filter 20, resulting in clean air. It is discharged from the exhaust port 28. When the filter 20 becomes dirty due to dust attached to it and needs to be replaced, hold the other end of the filter 20 and pull it out, and the filter holder 21 will also be pulled out from the filter attachment/detachment port 19 to separate the filter 20 and filter holder 21. It can be separated, and the filter can be reattached by placing a new filter in the filter holder 21 and pulling the string 24 toward one end. Here, since the filter 20 is flexible, for example, even if a car stereo speaker or the like is installed in the direction in which the filter 20 is pulled out, the filter 20 can be deformed to avoid the speaker or the like and be attached or detached from 71f.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a filter is provided almost horizontally in a thin rectangular purifier body, and an electric blower installed at the upper center of the purifier body is used to blow air from the bottom of the purifier body. Air is sucked in and passed upward through the filter, allowing the filter to capture a large area of dust without obstructing rear visibility, thereby improving air blowing performance.

In addition, since the upper end of the rear seat protrudes above the rear seat shelf, the height of the built-in filter can be almost offset from the perspective of securing visibility. , very effective.
