Description

Air cleaner for a car having modulated center high-mounted stop lamp

The present invention relates to an automobile air purifier having a modular auxiliary tail light, and more particularly, an auxiliary tail light that is used as an auxiliary light together with a brake light to inform a driver of a rear vehicle when driving a vehicle. In the rear of the case of the air purifier installed on the rear shelf, the auxiliary tail light is manufactured as a module so that it can be used to simplify the assembly work of the auxiliary tail light and to extend the life of the auxiliary tail light. The present invention relates to a modular air cleaner for automobiles.

In general, when a driver wants to purify the air inside a vehicle while driving, the driver often opens the window of the vehicle to allow outside air to flow into the vehicle. However, in this case, if the driving situation of the car is difficult to open the window, that is, the temporary situation such as passing a long tunnel or driving at the rear of a vehicle that emits a lot of smoke, as well as a long-term situation in which weather conditions are bad, such as rain or snow. I was forced to drive with the windows closed.

In particular, when the outside air temperature rises sharply during the summer, the air circulation is cooled by the cooling system to maintain the inside of the car. Because it had to open, it had no choice but to give up air-conditioning or endure poor environmental conditions.

Furthermore, in this case, the deterioration of the cleanliness of the indoor air is intensified due to the operation of the cooling system. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a means for purifying the air in the vehicle in a manner other than exchanging with outside air.

One proposed according to this need is an external air purifier schematically illustrated in FIG. 1.

This air cleaner 101 is composed of an outer case 103, a cross floor fan 109, an air filter 111 and a center high-mounted stop lamp 113, as shown. Here, the outer case 103 is configured to form the outer body of the air cleaner 101, and the inner floor of the outer case 103 is provided with a cross floor fan 109 arranged in the horizontal direction. Therefore, as the cross-floor fan 109 operates, the turbid air in the vehicle interior is introduced into the vehicle through the intake port 105 provided at the front of the outer case 103, and the exhaust gas flows through the exhaust port 107 provided at the upper end thereof. The air is discharged again into the vehicle interior.

At this time, since the air filter 111 arranged in the horizontal direction between the cross floor fan 109 and the front inlet port 105 purifies the turbid air flowing through the inlet port 105, through the exhaust port 107. The air returned to the interior of the vehicle is kept clean.

In addition, the auxiliary tail light 113 mounted at the rear of the outer case 103 is connected to the brake light of the rear of the car to inform the rear vehicle driver of the braking state of the car.

Therefore, according to the conventional air cleaner 101 configured as described above, as the driver turns on the operation, the cross floor fan 109 rotates counterclockwise in the drawing, and thus, the turbid air in the vehicle interior is inlet 105. It is introduced into the outer case 103 through). Inflowed air is filtered through the air filter 111 mounted immediately behind the inlet port 105, the smoke, dust or other harmful particles and the like.

In this way, the air filtered out of various harmful substances is discharged back to the vehicle interior through the exhaust port 107 formed at the upper end along the inner flow path 115 by the blowing force of the cross floor fan 109. Therefore, a passenger in a vehicle such as a driver can clean the air inside the vehicle in a comfortable state by the cross-floor fan 109 and the air filter 111 of the air cleaner 101, as well as the rear case 103. By the assisted taillight 113, it is possible to display the braking state of the vehicle more reliably and safely without installing a separate auxiliary taillight.

However, the conventional air cleaner 101 has a main boss 119 having a support boss 121 protruding from the frame 117 formed inside the outer case 103 as shown in more detail in FIG. 2. The auxiliary PCB 125 is coupled to the main PCB 119 by the connector 123 on the main PCB 119, and the bulb 127 mounted on the auxiliary PCB 125 is turned on according to the braking signal. It has a configuration to display the braking state of the vehicle by repeatedly turning off the lights.

Therefore, since the auxiliary taillight 113 having the above configuration has to form a plurality of support bosses 121 on the frame 117 during molding for mounting onto the outer case 103, the molding work is difficult. There was a problem that the difficulty in the stable and accurate molding of the outer case 103.

In addition, when assembling the air cleaner 101, the main PCB 119 should be aligned with the support boss 121, and the main PCB 119 should be bolted to each boss 121, thereby making the assembly work cumbersome and laborious. In addition, there was a problem of increased production efficiency, and also the light bulb 127 assembly 129 consisting of the main PCB 119 and the auxiliary PCB 125 in the assembly line is moved and handled separately, which can be easily broken and damaged. There was also.

In addition, since the light bulb 127 used as the light emitter has a property that light generated due to its optical characteristics does not have a straightness and diffuses around, the illumination intensity is relatively low.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve the problems of the conventional air purifier as described above, each of the elements constituting the auxiliary tail light in mounting the auxiliary tail light in the external air purifier of the vehicle, that is, the main PCB And the auxiliary PCB and the light emitting bulb are pre-mounted in one housing to make it easier to assemble the auxiliary tail light and to handle the assembly line stably. The purpose is to further improve the display function.

PCB mounted on the PCB, mounted on the PCB The LED element and the guide frame extending upward in the curved state of the flow path of the air introduced into the rear rear surface of the housing, the guide frame is sucked into the outer case through the inlet and exit to the exhaust port Provided is an air purifier configured to form a flow path.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the air cleaner according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in more detail.

In FIG. 2, the air purifier according to the present invention is indicated by reference numeral 1. The air purifier 1 includes an outer case 3 that largely forms an outer body, a cross floor fan 9 that sucks air from the interior of the vehicle into the interior of the exterior case 3, and sends it back to the interior of the vehicle, and the cross floor fan ( It consists of an air pulp 11 for purifying turbid air introduced by 9) and an auxiliary tail light 13 mounted behind the outer case 3.

The outer case 3 of the air cleaner 1 installed between the rear seat rear shelf 4 and the rear windshield 6 of the vehicle has an air inlet 5 opened on the front face of the vehicle, and the rear windshield On the upper surface of the case 3 facing the 6, an exhaust port 7 for returning the suctioned and purified air to the interior of the vehicle is opened.

The cross floor fan 9, which is disposed in the transverse direction of the case 3 between the inlet port 5 and the exhaust port 7 inside the outer case 3, has a plurality of thin blades inclined at an appropriate angle on the circumferential surface thereof. It is attached to suck the air in the interior of the vehicle through the inlet port 5 while rotating in a counterclockwise direction in Figure 2 is to blow the air inlet toward the upper exhaust port 7 along the air flow path (23).

An air filter 11 is disposed between the intake port 5 and the exhaust port 9 in order to purify the turbid air introduced therein. The filter 11 is generally known as a pleated comb. Filters are widely used.

In addition, a fastening groove 14 is formed in the horizontal direction at the rear of the outer case 3 so as to insert the taillight module 17. At this time, the rear lamp module 17 has a shape shown in Figure 4, the outer housing 15 of the elliptical columnar shape, the cover 19 is fitted to the front opening 21 of the housing 15, and the housing ( 15) It consists of a PCB (23) inserted into the rear wall of the inside and the LED element (25) attached to the PCB (23) to allow the assembly and handling of the taillight (13) as a component.

Here, the outer housing 15 has a fixing piece 29 attached to the left and right side surfaces, and the cover 19 is detachably attached to the rear opening 21. Inside the housing 15, an LED element 25, which is a light emitting portion of the tail light 13, which is turned on or off in synchronism with a brake light of an automobile, is attached to the rear end in a state where it is attached to the PCB 23.

In addition, the rear of the rear lamp (13) has a guide frame (27) extending upward to maintain the air flow path formed between the fan casing 31 and the fan (9) surrounding the cross floor fan (9) at the same curvature. It is formed in a state.

Therefore, according to the air cleaner 1 according to the present invention configured as described above, since the LED element 25 is used instead of a light bulb generally employed as the light emitting source of the auxiliary tail light 13, the straightness of the emitted light is ensured. When the rear light 13 is turned on, the driver of the rear vehicle can check the braking state of the vehicle more clearly.

In addition, in configuring such an auxiliary taillight 13, the taillight module separately configured as a sub-assembly without separately assembling each part of the taillight 13 behind the outer case 3 in the assembly line of the air cleaner 1. (17) by inserting and assembling, as well as the assembling work of the auxiliary tail light is not only easy, but also in the assembly process, such as a single module 17 can handle the tail light (13) assembly to damage or break parts Can be prevented in advance.

In addition, when the guide frame 27 is formed on the rear surface of the rear lamp housing 15 and the rear lamp module 17 is inserted, the guide frame 27 of a gentle curved shape crosses the inside of the air cleaner 1. The airflow generated by the floor fan 9 can flow smoothly to the exhaust port 7.

As described above, the air purifier according to the present invention uses an LED element having a superior linearity of light emitted as an auxiliary tail light for inserting and mounted at the rear to inform the driver of the vehicle following the rear of the vehicle. Not only can it clearly display the lighting status, but it also has a superior lifespan compared to commonly used light bulbs, allowing the driver to use a more efficient auxiliary tail light.

In addition, in the installation of the auxiliary taillights in the rear of the air purifier, the auxiliary taillights can be modularized so that the work of assembling the parts of the auxiliary taillights one by one can be omitted. This can also help to improve the production efficiency of the air cleaner itself. At the same time, since the rear lamp assembly, which has been lowered during assembly, is moved and handled as one unit component, more stable component management is possible.

In addition, since the guide frame formed at the rear of the module can form a flow path that guides the air introduced by the cross-floor fan toward the exhaust port integrally, the kinetic energy of the air introduced through the intake port is not lost through the exhaust port. The discharged air can be more reliably attained in the interior of the car by the discharged air, and the direction of the airflow discharged through the intake port is almost parallel to the rear windshield, thereby preventing the occurrence of noise and the reduction of momentum due to the collision. You can create quiet driving conditions.

Although the present invention has been shown and described with respect to specific embodiments, it is well known in the art that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as indicated by the accompanying utility model registration claims.
