Description

Dehumidifier case for car {Dehumidifier case for car}

The present invention relates to a desiccant case for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a desiccant case for a vehicle that can be installed inside a vehicle and can be used semi-permanently by replacing only the desiccant.

Automobiles are made of various materials such as metal, glass, wood, fiber, leather, etc., and mold is likely to propagate due to moisture in a sealed vehicle interior. In particular, due to the mold generated by the moisture inside the air vent, odors are generated when the air conditioner is operating and adversely affect the respiratory system.

Accordingly, dehumidifiers are used to remove moisture, and in most cases, a container having a large space to store liquid water generated by moisture absorption and preventing the stored water from leaking out is used.

Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0490711 (registered on December 16, 2019) describes a desiccant storage container, and according to the disclosed technology, it is formed in a square or hexagonal shape, and a space for storing the desiccant is formed, from the top to the bottom and outside. A body in which a polygonal border part protrudes integrally horizontally on the side, a vertical part composed of a square or hexagon so that the lower end is seated on the upper part of the polygonal border part and the inner surface is in close contact with the outer surface of the upper part of the body, and the upper part of the vertical part is horizontally It is composed of a horizontal part formed with a plurality of square or hexagonal air inlet holes that are closed and formed with a plurality of air inlet holes, and is composed of an upper cover that is detachably coupled to the outer surface of the body as a coupling means, and the coupling means is the body at the top of the polygonal rim. It is composed of a plurality of horizontal inclined protrusions protruding on each outer surface and a horizontal inclined catching groove formed inside the vertical part of the upper cover and elastically coupled to the horizontal inclined projections, and a number of them on the outer surface of the horizontal part between the horizontal inclined catching grooves. An elastic incision groove is formed, characterized in that the horizontal inclined holding groove coupled to the horizontal inclined projection is configured to be elastically coupled.

Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0393290 (registered on August 11, 2005) describes a dehumidifier and deodorant storage container. According to the disclosed technology, an elliptical storage member having a plurality of locking protrusions protruding at a predetermined height on an inner circumferential surface and having an open upper surface, a plate-shaped holder built in the storage member and mounted on the holding protrusion but having a plurality of through holes formed on the surface thereof, In the storage container including a cover covering the open upper surface of the storage member and having a plurality of holes, a guide member having a plurality of slit-type distribution holes is integrally protruded at one end of the upper surface of the mounting table, and the upper surface is formed at the other end of the mounting table. It is characterized in that a semi-elliptical auxiliary storage member having a surface open and having a plurality of ventilation holes formed on a surface facing the guide member is integrally protruded.

As described above, the conventional desiccant storage container has a disadvantage in that it does not have a shape suitable for use in a vehicle and takes up a lot of space.

In addition, when used in a vehicle, the desiccant raw material or water in the container may leak to the outside as the desiccant raw material or water in the container slips or rolls in the vehicle while driving. There were problems that could be.
