The four-way valve (13) regulates the high-temperature / high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor so that the refrigerant directly flows into the first heat exchanger (15) or the second heat exchanger (17) The refrigerant evaporated by the first heat exchanger (15) or the second heat exchanger (17) is regulated to flow into the accumulator (12).

On the other hand, the second heat exchanger 17 is disposed on the air flow path in the air conditioning chamber 20 of the air conditioning housing 11 and the inside air or the outside air is sucked into one side of the second heat exchanger 17 through the air conditioning room 20 And a PTC heater 18 is installed at the other side of the second heat exchanger 17 to assist the initial heating operation of the HVAC module And a plurality of discharge portions 51, 52, 53 through which the air ventilated by the second heat exchanger 17 is discharged into the vehicle. It is a matter of course that a radiator may be provided on one side of the first heat exchanger 15. [

4A, in the cooling operation of the HVAC module, the four-way valve 13 is controlled such that the refrigerant compressed at the high temperature / high pressure from the compressor 14 flows to the first heat exchanger 15 side, The refrigerant condensed in the heat exchanger 15 is expanded in the expansion valve and then supplied to the second heat exchanger 17 disposed in the air conditioning chamber 20 inside the air conditioning housing 11, And then the refrigerant is introduced into the accumulator 12 by the four-way valve 13, and the gaseous refrigerant is separated and supplied to the compressor 14.

4B, during the heating operation of the HVAC module, the four-way valve 13 is controlled such that the refrigerant compressed at the high temperature / high pressure from the compressor 14 flows to the second heat exchanger 17 side, The fan 19 cools the indoor air or the outside air to be sucked into the air conditioning chamber 20 of the air conditioning housing 11 by using the latent heat of condensation generated when the refrigerant is condensed in the heat exchanger 17. At this time, it is natural that the PTC heater 18 can be selectively operated to assist the initial heating. The refrigerant condensed in the second heat exchanger 17 is expanded in the expansion valve, and then supplied to the first heat exchanger 15 to be evaporated. After flowing into the accumulator 12 by the four-way valve 13, And supplied to the compressor (14).

The four-way valve 13 switches the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 14 to the first heat exchanger 15 or the second heat exchanger 17 and supplies the refrigerant to the first heat exchanger 15 or the second heat exchanger 15 It is natural that the refrigerant discharged from the heat exchanger 17 is disposed at a position where the refrigerant is switched to the accumulator 12 and supplied.

That is, when the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 14 is switched to and supplied to the first heat exchanger 15, the four-way valve 13 switches the refrigerant discharged from the second heat exchanger 17 to the accumulator 12, And is operated to switch the refrigerant discharged from the first heat exchanger (15) to the accumulator (12) and supply the refrigerant to the accumulator (12) when the refrigerant discharged from the compressor (14) is switched to the second heat exchanger Do.

However, during the heating mode operation in which the second heat exchanger 17 operates as a condenser, no problem occurs. In the cooling mode operation in which the second heat exchanger 17 operates as an evaporator, condensed water is generated on the surface of the evaporator and condensed The condensation water generated during the operation stop of the vehicle or the operation stop of the HVAC module and the dust inside the air conditioning room 20 are mixed with each other, and molds and mites grow, which causes a bad odor inside the vehicle.

Particularly, a preferred embodiment of a malodor generation prevention system for a vehicle according to the present invention enables passengers aboard a vehicle to sufficiently prevent air pollution and prevent odor generation efficiently by using an HVAC module.

The HVAC module 10 is provided with a second heat exchanger 17 (hereinafter, referred to as an 'indoor heat exchanger 17') when the driver or passenger rides on the inside of the vehicle 20, The indoor heat exchanger 17 must be operated as a condenser in order to dry the functional part in which the generation of odor is likely to occur so that the performance of the original air conditioner There is a problem that the cooling function given to the user is temporarily stopped as well as the temperature is lowered.

In order to minimize such a problem, in order to minimize the interruption of the cooling operation provided to the user including the driver even when the user (particularly the driver) is not in the vehicle interior 20 (in the case of the driver member) (10).

The presence or absence of the driver can be determined by the Driver State Mortiering part (DSM). The driver state detection unit may be provided with at least one of a passenger detection sensor provided on a seat seat, an infrared sensor provided to detect a driver or a passenger, and a camera module provided to photograph a driver or a passenger.

In the case where the driver loses room, the malfunction prevention step (S10) can be performed by operating the function part only during the set time before arrival of the target place after driving the vehicle so that the interruption of the cooling operation of the HVAC module 10 is minimized .

Here, the arrival time of the target position after driving of the vehicle can be calculated through navigation provided in the vehicle in cooperation with the GPS (Global Positioning System).

In the case of a vehicle not equipped with navigation, it can be calculated from a learning model that learns and stores an operation pattern of a driver of a vehicle that is operated at least twice. For example, in the learning model, the engine operation time from the operation point of the engine to the operation end can be learned and stored from the operation pattern of the driver learned at least two times, and the engine stop time The malodor prevention step S10 may be performed during the pre-set time.

Referring to FIG. 3, the arrival time of the target position after driving the vehicle is calculated through a navigation and learning model, and the set time before arrival is set to a time point of - ).

5 is a block diagram showing an example of an air quality sensor for detecting a malodor of a malodor prevention and removal system of a vehicle.

In order to perform the smell prevention step S10 more precisely, the air quality sensor 100 as shown in FIG. 5 may be provided in each function unit. As described above, the odor is closely related to the air quality such as temperature, humidity, and dust of the function part.

The air-quality sensor 100 may be provided with a composite sensor module 100 in which a plurality of sensor groups 150 are combined to sense different characteristics contained in air around each functional unit by a single operation .

5, the composite sensor module 100 includes a sensor case 110 having an air flow space into which air is introduced and discharged in one direction, A plurality of sensor groups 150 arranged in series in the flow direction of the air in the sensor case 110 and sensing different characteristics contained in the air, . ≪ / RTI >

Here, the air that flows into the sensor case 110 and is discharged is the air around each functional unit or function unit described above, and has properties as sample air measured by the plurality of sensor groups 150, It should be noted that the sample air is not purified by the plurality of sensor groups 150.

A sample air inlet 130 for introducing air into the sensor case 110 is provided at one side of the sensor case 110 and a sample air outlet 130 for discharging the air measured by the plurality of sensor groups 150 at the other side of the sensor case 110 (140). The sample air inlet 130 and the sample air outlet 140 are preferably arranged in a straight line with respect to the installation direction of the plurality of sensor groups 150. This is to reduce the positional deviation of the plurality of sensor groups 150 for measuring the contamination degree of the sample air.

The plurality of sensor groups 150 includes a temperature and humidity sensor for sensing the temperature and humidity in the air, a fine dust sensor for detecting the concentration of fine dust in the air, a carbon dioxide sensor for detecting the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

By arranging the composite sensor module 100 configured as described above in each functional unit, it is possible to perform a malodor prevention step S10 corresponding to the characteristics of each functional unit described later.

For example, when the engine of the vehicle is activated, the composite sensor module 100 senses the air quality in or around each functional unit and provides the resultant value to a vehicle control unit (hereinafter abbreviated as 'control unit') , The vehicle control unit may perform the malodor prevention step (S10) using the HVAC module 10.

That is, the HVAC module 10 may be operated to dry the functional unit, which is likely to generate the malodorous odor, for a predetermined time in order to prevent the malodor of the heat exchanger provided therein.

The malodor prevention step S10 may be performed in the following manner when the functional part concerned with the generation of malodor is the indoor heat exchanger 17 of the HVAC module 10.

The temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 17 functioning as an evaporator is controlled to be higher than the dew point temperature at which the moisture is generated in performing the temperature control of the inside of the vehicle 20 at the time of a short time (spring or autumn) It is possible to avoid the conditions under which molds and mites can grow.

At this time, it is preferable that the air-quality sensor 100 is disposed inside the inside / outside air suction unit in which the inside air or outside air of the air conditioning housing 11 is sucked.

The process of removing the condensed water on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger 17 at the time of the snacking will be described in more detail as follows.

FIG. 6 is an example of a humidifier diagram for performing the malodor prevention step, and FIG. 7 is a system diagram illustrating various air discharge modes of the HVAC module.

The dehumidification process of the indoor side heat exchanger in the cooling mode operation at the time of normal snacking is performed through the process of 1 → 2 → 2 → 3 → 4 on the humidifying line by performing the cooling operation and mixing the outside air as shown in FIG. do.

Conventionally, there has been a problem of mixing indoor or outdoor air to prevent condensation water from condensing on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger 17 in the course of 2 → 2 '→ 3 → 4 on the humidifier line, .

In order to solve such a problem, in a preferred embodiment of the malodor occurrence prevention system for a vehicle according to the present invention, the HVAC module 10 is operated in a sensible heat operation mode during a short period of time.

That is, when the cooling demand load required when air conditioning the vehicle cabin is less than the set value, the four-way valve 13 is used to discharge the air from the compressor 14 so that the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 17 becomes higher than the dew point temperature The high temperature / high pressure refrigerant is switched to the first heat exchanger 15 and is supplied to the sensible operation mode.

Here, the sensible heat operation mode refers to an operation mode in which only the process of 1 → 2 is controlled on the humidifier line since the required cooling load during the snack is substantially small. At this time, the indoor air temperature sensor can sense the temperature of the indoor or outdoor air, the indoor air or the humidity contained in the outdoor air, and can know the temperature of the evaporative refrigerant passing through the indoor heat exchanger. It is natural that the dew point temperature of the surface can be accurately calculated.

On the other hand, it is inevitable to operate the HVAC module 10 in which the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 17 is lowered to the dew point temperature or less during the summer when the demand load is large.

More specifically, referring to FIG. 4A, in the case of normal cooling operation, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 14 is condensed in the outdoor heat exchanger 14 serving as a condenser through the four-way valve 13 Exchanges heat with indoor or outdoor air in the indoor heat exchanger 17 acting as an evaporator via the rear inflator 16, and then flows into the compressor 14 through the accumulator 12 again.

4B, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 14 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 17 via the four-way valve 13, and flows into the indoor heat exchanger (not shown) 17) function as a condenser for a limited time. At this time, it is possible to control the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger (17) to be higher than the dew point temperature to remove the condensed water on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger (17).

That is, the HVAC module 10 controls the four-way valve 13 so that the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 17 is higher than the dew point temperature when the required cooling load required when air conditioning the vehicle cabin is over the set value, The high-temperature / high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 14 is supplied to the indoor heat exchanger 17 so as to be supplied to the indoor heat exchanger 17 for operation in the water removal operation mode.

As described above, the water removal operation mode is a mode in which the four-way valve (13) is used for the compressor (14) during the set time before arrival at the target place after the vehicle is driven, so as not to lower the cooling effect of the passengers And switching the discharged high temperature / high pressure refrigerant to the indoor heat exchanger and supplying the refrigerant to the indoor heat exchanger.

Here, as described above, the arrival time point of the target place after the vehicle is driven can be calculated using a learning model which is calculated through navigation linked to the GPS in the vehicle or learned and stored in the driving pattern of the driver of the vehicle, It can be calculated from the following equation.

On the other hand, the set value of the cooling demand load is set to be higher than the required load of the season, and can be set lower than the demand load of the summer season.

The flow fan 19 that flows the outside air or the inside air flowing into the inside of the air conditioning housing 11 is closed by the first to third dampers (51, 52, 53) It is preferable to control the operation at a lower RPM in the cooling mode operation so as to minimize the direct heat of the indoor heat exchanger 17 toward the passenger on the driver's seat or the passenger's seat.

7, the face discharge portion 52 and the defrost discharge portion 51 of the plurality of discharge portions 51, 52 and 53 are closed, and the foot mode discharge It is preferable that the heat of the indoor heat exchanger (17) is controlled to be opened so as to be discharged to the minimum through only the heat exchanger (53).

In the summer odor prevention step (S10), the built-in indoor heat exchanger (17) is controlled to function as an evaporator during cooling operation, and functions as a condenser temporarily for changing the refrigerant flow path of the four- However, it should be understood that this method is not limited to the malodor prevention step S10 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

For example, although not shown in the drawing, the indoor heat exchanger 17 may be provided with an overall heat exchanger that is branched from the high-temperature refrigerant discharged from the compressor 14 and flows into the heat exchanger with the originally low-temperature refrigerant. In this case It is also possible to raise the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 17 by using the high-temperature refrigerant flowing into the total enthalpy heat exchanger by operating the total enthalpy heat exchanger for the set time, and to remove the condensed water.

When the odor prevention step S10 of the indoor heat exchanger 17 of the HVAC module 10 is performed, the plurality of discharge portions 51, 52, 53 with the duct 30 are opened and closed from the HVAC module 10 However, in this case, the temperature in the air conditioning housing 11 may rise sharply. Therefore, as described above, only the foot mode discharging portion 53 is opened and the indoor heat exchanger (not shown) 17 or the exchanged heat of the total enthalpy heat exchanger, it is possible to minimize the inflow of the high temperature air into the vehicle interior 20.

In a preferred embodiment of the malodor occurrence prevention system for a vehicle according to the present invention, the use of a heat pump to raise the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger (17) to a temperature higher than the dew point temperature simply means that the indoor heat exchanger (S10) in that it is a control for preventing condensation water from being generated on the surface.

Furthermore, even if no condensation water is generated on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger 17, there is a possibility that bacteria such as mold may propagate for various reasons. In the malodor occurrence prevention system of the vehicle according to the present invention, Since the amount of heat transferred to the indoor heat exchanger 17 is controlled to a set temperature that is enough to sterilize the bacteria propagated on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger 17 or to prevent the bacteria that may cause propagation, to be.

On the other hand, the malodor prevention step (S10) can be performed in the following manner when the malfunction occurs in the interior of the functional unit concerned (cabin).

As described above, by starting the running of the vehicle and operating the HVAC module 10 during the set time before the arrival of the target site, the interior temperature of the vehicle interior 20 is controlled to be equal to or higher than the set temperature, 40 to remove moisture.

At this time, it is preferable that the plurality of dampers 51 to 53, which will be described later, for opening and closing the plurality of discharge units 51, 52 and 53 for connecting the HVAC module 10 and the duct 30 are controlled to be opened, As described above, only the foot mode ejection unit 53 of the plurality of ejection units 51, 52, 53 can be controlled to open so that only the minimum heat is transmitted to the occupant on board the vehicle. For the same reason, it is preferable to control the compressor 14 motor of the HVAC module 10 to operate at a set RPM or less.

However, when a driver or the like is aboard the vehicle interior 20, the above-described operation of the HVAC module 10 may cause the user to feel uncomfortable due to hot air during cooling. Therefore, And a malodor removing step (S30) performed when there is no user aboard the vehicle.

The driver and the rider who ride on the inside of the vehicle 20 are not limited to the malodor which simply stimulates the user's smell.

The HVAC module 10 may further include a drain pipe 60 for discharging the condensed water in the indoor heat exchanger 17 and an open / close valve 61 for opening and closing the drain pipe 60 .

Here, the air quality sensor 100 including the above-described hybrid sensor module may be disposed between the indoor heat exchanger 17 and the plurality of discharge units 51, 52, 53, but is not limited thereto, , It is of course possible to arrange individual sensors which can individually detect dust and humidity.

The control of the HVAC module 10 having the above-described configuration in the summer smell removal step 30 will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings (particularly FIGS. 9A to 9C).

When the HVAC module 10 is operated in the summer, it is operated in the cooling preparation mode, as shown in Fig. 9A.

Referring to FIG. 9A, when the HVAC module 10 is operated, the flow fan 19 is operated, and at this time, the first to third dampers 51 to 53 are connected to the plurality of discharge portions 51, The fifth damper 55 is opened to allow the outside air to be discharged to the outside and the sixth damper 56 is in a state in which the inside of the vehicle is closed The air in the air conditioning chamber 20 is opened so that the air in the air conditioning chamber 20 is discharged and the air in the air conditioning chamber 20 is closed so that the air is not introduced into the air conditioning chamber 20 again desirable.

At this time, the flow fan 19 and the indoor heat exchanger 17 can be operated so that cooling can be performed. Here, the indoor heat exchanger 17 is interpreted to act as a summer evaporator, and the PTC heater 18 can also be operated as described later in the winter when the indoor heat exchanger 17 functions as a condenser. Do.

This allows the user to quickly vent the air conditioning air while simultaneously discharging the contaminated air in the air conditioning room 20 of the HVAC module 10 by operating the flow fan 19, the indoor heat exchanger 17 and the PTC heater 18 at the same time .

Hot air and dust in the air conditioning room 20 of the air conditioning housing 11 flows through the sixth damper 56 and flows through the fifth damper 55 And the outside air flows into the air conditioning chamber 20 through the fourth damper 54 and flows through the indoor heat exchanger 17 and the PTC heater 18 while passing through the indoor heat exchanger 17 and the PTC heater 18. [ And the air and dust in the air-conditioning room 20 including the air-conditioning room 20 are exhausted through the fifth damper 55 again.

Here, the start time (start time) of the set time at which the HVAC module 10 is operated in the cooling preparation mode (including the heating preparation mode to be described later) is determined by the navigation or learning Model can be used, but preferably it can be set when the driver operates the cooling or heating of the HVAC module 10 before boarding by using the smart key of the recently widely spread automobile.

On the other hand, the set time during which the HVAC module 10 is operated in the cooling preparation mode is set to a time when the concentration of the dust detected through the air quality sensor 100 is less than the set concentration and the detected temperature reaches the set temperature .

However, it is preferable that the set concentration of the dust determining the end of the set time and the set temperature inside the air conditioner 20 can be set by the user including the driver directly for each user.

Normally, the set temperature in the air conditioning room 20 can be set to 16 ° C or lower in summer, and 21 ° C or higher in winter.

It is preferable that the end of the set time is set so that the operation of the HVAC module 10 in the cooling mode, which will be described later, is started even when only one of the set concentration of the dust and the set temperature in the inside of the air conditioner 20 is satisfied. This is to minimize the waiting time for entering the cooling mode to satisfy the user's preference for immediate cooling.

Even if the set concentration of the dust and the set temperature inside the air conditioner 20 are not satisfied, when the set time is reached based on the time of the cooling preparation mode of the HVAC module 10, Can be set as the boil. This is to prepare for mechanical malfunction of the air quality sensor 100.

Thus, when the HVAC module 10 is operated in the cooling preparation mode, unpleasant air including hot air and dust or the like exceeding 16 DEG C is not immediately introduced into the vehicle interior 20, so that the driver and the passenger can operate the HVAC module 10 can be prevented from feeling uncomfortable by the odor generated in the inside of the apparatus.

Next, referring to FIGS. 9B and 9C, when the cooling preparation mode of the HVAC module 10 is finished, the HVAC module 10 is operated in the cooling mode. FIG. 9B shows the outside air introduction mode in which the outside air is introduced, and FIG. 9C shows the inside air circulation mode in which no outside air is introduced, particularly in the cooling mode.

9B, when the HVAC module 10 is operated in the ambient air introduction mode, the flow fan 19 and the indoor heat exchanger 17 are activated.

At this time, the first to third dampers (51 to 53) open the plurality of discharge portions, the fourth damper is opened to allow the outside air to flow, and the fifth damper is closed to prevent the inside air from being discharged to the outside And the sixth damper is opened so that the inside air of the vehicle interior 20 is circulated to the inside of the air conditioning chamber 20 so as to be air-conditioned and the seventh damper is in a state where the air is introduced into the air conditioning room 20 As shown in FIG.

The first damper to the third damper 51 to 53 are automatically opened and controlled when the temperature inside the air conditioning chamber 20 is 16 ° C or lower and air ventilated from the inside of the air conditioning chamber 20 is also discharged again The communication state with the air conditioning chamber 20 is controlled to be switched to the closed state.

9B, the outside air is introduced into the air conditioning chamber 20 through the fourth damper by the air blowing force of the flow fan 19, and then flows into the air conditioning room 20 through the indoor heat exchanger 17, Air ventilated through the first to third dampers 51 to 53 is discharged into the interior of the vehicle.

At this time, since the unpleasant air inside the air conditioning room 20 of the HVAC module 10 has already been discharged to the outside for a predetermined time in the cooling preparation mode, passengers including the driver of the inside of the vehicle 20 You can enjoy cooling without discomfort and uncomfortable hot air.

Referring to FIG. 9C, when the HVAC module 10 is operated in the circulation cycle mode, the flow fan 19 and the indoor heat exchanger 17 are shut down.

At this time, the first to third dampers (51 to 53) open the plurality of air discharging portions, and the fourth damper is in a state of being closed so that no outside air is introduced, as shown in Fig. 8 (c) The sixth damper is in a state in which it is opened so that the inside air is allowed to flow into the air conditioning chamber 20 again and the seventh damper is opened in such a way that the inside air is immediately introduced into the air conditioning chamber 20 .

9C, the inner air is guided by the sixth damper and the seventh damper by the blowing force of the flow fan 19 and flows into the inside of the air conditioning chamber 20, After passing through the deodorizing filter of the city, air purified through the first to third dampers 51 to 53 is discharged into the interior of the vehicle.

The present invention is not limited to the case where the deodorizing filter is provided in the HVAC module 10. However, when the air purifier is separately provided according to the user, the operation of the indoor circulation mode may not be required separately.

On the other hand, when the HVAC module 10 is operated in winter, it is operated in the heating preparation mode, as shown in Fig. 10A.

10A, the heating preparation mode is a mode in which the indoor heat exchanger 17 functions as a condenser and the PTC heater 18 is operated, as described in FIG. 9A, Damper to seventh damper 51 to 57 are controlled in operation.

Next, referring to FIG. 10B, when the heating preparation mode of the HVAC module 10 is terminated, the HVAC module 10 is operated in the heating mode.

Referring to FIG. 10B, as described above with reference to FIG. 9B, the first damper to the seventh damper 51 to 57 may be controlled in the same manner as the cooling mode.

11 is a control flowchart showing a preferred embodiment of a malodor occurrence prevention and elimination system for a vehicle.

In a preferred embodiment of the malodor occurrence prevention and removal system according to the present invention, the malodor classification step S20 may be divided into a plurality of air quality sensors 100 provided for each of the plurality of functional units.

The malodor classification step S20 may be a preliminary step for effectively performing the malodor removal step S30 described later by identifying the type and cause of the malodor that can not be prevented by the malodor prevention step S10.

Through the odor sorting step (S20), the type and cause of the odor can be accurately determined, and the odor can be removed more quickly in the odor elimination step (S30) without making an error.

As described above, the malodor sorting step S20 includes the first cause that the odor originates from the HVAC module 10, the second cause that the odor originates from the inside of the vehicle, and the third cause that the odor enters from the outside of the vehicle . ≪ / RTI >

At least one of the plurality of air quality sensors 100 may be installed in the interior of the HVAC module 10 to distinguish the first cause, And at least one of them can be installed outside the vehicle adjacent to the inflow port from the outside to the inside of the vehicle to distinguish the third cause.

Particularly, the third cause can be distinguished from the second cause by comparing the sensed values from the air quality sensor 100 installed inside the vehicle 20 and the air quality sensor 100 installed outside the vehicle in real time.

On the other hand, if the type and cause of the odor are classified according to the type of the odor and the cause of the odor is classified in step S30, in the step of removing the odor (S30), as shown in FIG. 11, So that it can be removed more quickly.

That is, the vehicle may be provided with the above-described HVAC module 10 having a deodorizing filter for removing odors, and a separate air purifier provided with a deodorizing filter may be installed. In some cases, the air purifier may include an ion generator (not shown) as well as a deodorization filter.

In order to make the understanding of the invention clearer, it is assumed that a deodorizing filter and an ion generator are included in an air cleaner provided separately, and the HVAC module 10 is provided with only a general filter .

When the HVAC module 10 or the air purifier is provided in the vehicle interior 20, the malodor removing step S30 is a step of adjusting the air volume of the air cleaner to remove the odor, So that the removal of the odor can be performed quickly. That is, when the air purifier is in the general air purifying mode, the air flow rate is controlled at a normal speed. On the other hand, when the odor is generated and flows into the inside of the vehicle 20, it is required to quickly remove the odor. It is preferable that the air flow rate of the malodor removal mode is controlled to be higher than that of the normal air purification mode.

In addition, when the malodor removing step S30 is classified into the second cause described above, it is possible to control the sterilizing and deodorizing by adjusting the amount of ions generated from the ion generator of the air purifier. That is, since the generation of the odor due to the second cause is already caused by the propagation of bacteria such as mold, it is preferable that the sterilization through the ion generator is performed preferentially and the removal of the odor spreading in the inside of the vehicle 20 is simultaneously performed . In this case, it is possible to operate the HVAC module 10 in the outdoor air introduction mode to introduce outdoor air into the interior of the vehicle 20, operate in the indoor air exhaust mode, and exhaust the outdoor air to the outside. In this case, it is preferable that the odorous odor is quickly deodorized through the deodorization filter and then exhausted. More preferably, the outside air is also preferably introduced into the interior of the vehicle 20 after deodorization.

As described above, the embodiment of the malodor generation prevention and removal system of the vehicle distinguishes the type and cause of the malodor in the malodor classification step S20, which is the previous stage, and in the malodor removal step S30, It is advantageous in that the malodor can be removed promptly.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of the malodor occurrence prevention and elimination system, the malodor removing step S30 is a step of removing the malodor which has already been generated, as described above, The operation of the dehumidification mode for removing condensed water generated in the side heat exchanger 17 may also be included in the malodor removal step S30.

Considering the temporal flow from the moment when the user operates the engine for driving the vehicle to the moment when the engine stops, the respective steps of the malodor prevention and elimination system of the vehicle are classified as follows.

For the sake of more clear classification, the act of operating the engine for the current vehicle driving is referred to as a " first engine operating state ", and the act of stopping the engine for the past driving, Quot; first engine end state ", and the act of stopping the engine for ending the current vehicle running is referred to as a " second engine end state ".

Here, the malodor prevention step may include sensing in advance an area where odor is expected to be generated through the air-quality sensor 100 from the first engine end state to the first engine operating state, .

Of course, in order to perform the malodor prevention step, in order to operate the electrical components such as the HVAC module 10 such that the malodor is not grown, power or power supply is required depending on the engine, Is performed from the first engine operating state to the second engine ending state.

When the malodor is grown to be recognized as a malodor based on the data sensed through the air-condition sensor 100 for the malodor prevention stage at the same time as the start of the first engine operation state, (S30), which is the next step.

Lastly, the malodor removing step S30 is a step of removing the malodor generated during a predetermined time from the start of the first engine operating state and a predetermined time before the end of the second engine ending state, It is to be understood that the present invention also includes a sterilization mode for sterilizing bacteria on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger 17 of the HVAC module 10 as a cause.

Here, it is mentioned in advance that the operation of the HVAC module 10 to be explained in the sterilizing mode can be included in the malodor prevention step and the smell removal step S30 as described above.

The sterilization mode of the malodor removal step S30 can be performed by interlocking the HVAC module 10 and the fragrance generation device not shown in the inside of the vehicle 20 with each other.

More specifically, the inside of the vehicle 20 is provided with a plurality of perfume capsules each of which can improve the driving environment of the driver by spraying different fragrance depending on the air quality of the inside of the vehicle 20 and the emotional state of the driver A fragrance generating device may be provided.

Particularly, when the air condition of the interior of the vehicle 20 is in a polluted state including odor, etc., the fragrance generating device can eliminate the polluted state by the perfume sprayed through the spray operation of at least one of the plurality of the parfume capsules, It can have a function of neutralizing the air quality by mixing with odor and the like.

12 is a block diagram sequentially showing odor removal steps of a malodor generation prevention and removal system of a vehicle.

Hereinafter, a description will be given of a control operation of performing the malodor removing step S30 in combination with the eradication mode of the HVAC module 10 and the fragrance spraying mode using the fragrance spraying apparatus, with reference to FIG. Here, for convenience of explanation, the HVAC module 10 is limited to the case of the summer cooling mode operation.

However, in the following description, the control until the HVAC module 10 is actually operated in the cooling mode can be classified into the above-described odor prevention step, and only the operation in the sterilization mode to be described later is performed in the odor removal step S30). ≪ / RTI >

First, when the engine (or driving motor) is operated for driving the vehicle, when the HVAC module 10 is operated in the outdoor air introduction mode, the fragrance generating device is operated for 30 seconds to spray a specific fragrance to the interior of the vehicle 20 The passenger including the driver is allowed to operate in the cooling mode by driving the compressor 14 and the flow fan 19 of the HVAC module 10 after preliminarily blocking the possibility of taking the odor from the outside before boarding the vehicle.

The compressor 14 and the flow fan 19 of the HVAC module 10 are operated to operate in the cooling mode when the HVAC module 10 is not operating in the ambient air introduction mode when the engine is operating. At this time, the fragrance generation device is operated for 30 seconds to spray a specific fragrance to the inside of the vehicle 20, so that a passenger who includes the driver can take the odor flowing from the inside air conditioning room 20 of the HVAC module 10 after boarding, .

On the other hand, when the operation of the HVAC module 10 is stopped due to the driver or various reasons during driving of the vehicle, the operation of the flow fan 19 is stopped, and then, regardless of whether the operation of the engine is stopped or not, The first damper to the third damper 51 to 53 as shown in FIG. 4B are closed and the flow fan 19 is restarted when the engine stops. However, as shown in FIG. 4B, Pressure refrigerant compressed by the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant flows into the indoor heat exchanger (17) by switching the four-way valve.

The high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant passes through the indoor heat exchanger 17 and performs a sterilization mode for sterilizing bacteria such as fungi that grow on the surface for about 5 minutes, and then stops the operation of the HVAC module 10.

It is advantageous in that sufficient sterilization temperature can be ensured only by the temperature of the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant discharged directly from the compressor 14 in sterilizing the germs reproducing on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger 17. [

According to the embodiments of the system for preventing and eliminating odor of a vehicle, it is possible to clearly identify the type and cause of the odor to prevent the generation of odor in advance, and to allow the driver to focus only on driving, Can be prevented.

An embodiment of the malodor occurrence prevention and elimination system of the vehicle includes an information alarm step S40 for displaying to the user through the display unit of the non-city installed in the vehicle the type and cause of the odor classified by the malodor classification step S20, As shown in FIG.

Here, the display unit may be provided in the form of a liquid crystal panel constituting a part of the AVN system installed in the vehicle interior 20, or may be provided with a plurality of LED display units constituting the center pace.

The type and cause of the odor can be displayed on the display unit in a predetermined name, and the change in the currently detected odor can be displayed in the form of a number or another pattern. Further, the odor removing step S30 is performed The degree to which the odor is removed can also be displayed in the form of a number or another pattern. If the odor can not be removed by the odor removing step S30, the user can display another solution.

On the same logic line, the information alarm step S40 includes a first alarm for indicating the type and cause of the odor, a second alarm for indicating the increase or decrease of the odor displayed in the first alarm, A third alarm for indicating a degree to which the odor is removed by the first alarm (S30), and a fourth alarm for providing a user solution according to the cause of the odor if the cause of the odor can not be removed by the odor removing step (S30) . ≪ / RTI >

Here, the fourth alarm provides the user with the sterilization cycle information of the indoor heat exchanger 17 when the type and cause of the odor are mold generation of the indoor heat exchanger 17 (evaporator) of the HVAC module 10 And the deodorizing filter replacement information of the air cleaner or the HVAC module 10 may be provided to the user when the kind and cause of the odor is the interior material 40 of the inside of the vehicle 20. [

The user can actively control the sterilizing device or the like provided inside the HVAC module 10 by using the information provided by the fourth alarm to actively sterilize the sterilizing device and to change the deodorizing filter to provide a more comfortable driving environment .

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a malodor generation prevention system for a vehicle according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not necessarily limited to the above-described preferred embodiments, and that various modifications and equivalents may be made by those skilled in the art something to do.
