Description

차량 공조시스템 청정장치{Vehicle air conditioning system cleaning device}Vehicle air conditioning system cleaning device}

본 발명은 차량 공조시스템 청정장치에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 플라즈마로 차량 공조기의 에바포레이터의 오염을 방지하는 차량 공조시스템 청정장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a vehicle air conditioning system cleaning device, and more specifically, to a vehicle air conditioning system cleaning device that prevents contamination of the evaporator of a vehicle air conditioner with plasma.

일반적으로 차량의 공조시스템은 승객의 쾌적함을 위해 차량 실내를 냉난방하거나 윈드 실드에 끼는 성에 등을 제거하는 등의 차량 실내환경을 쾌적하게 조정한다.In general, a vehicle's air conditioning system adjusts the vehicle's interior environment to ensure passenger comfort, such as by cooling or heating the vehicle interior or removing frost from the windshield.

이러한 공조시스템은 냉방유닛과 난방유닛을 동시에 갖추고 있으며, 외기나 내기를 선택적으로 도입한 후 공기를 냉방 또는 난방하여 차량 실내로 송풍하게 된다. This air conditioning system is equipped with both a cooling unit and a heating unit, and after selectively introducing outside or inside air, the air is cooled or heated and blown into the vehicle interior.

여기서, 차량 공조시스템의 냉방유닛은 냉기를 생성하기 위한 에바포레이터(Evaporator)를 구비하고, 공조시스템 작동 시 에바포레이터에는 열 교환되는 공기와의 온도 차로 인해 물방울이 발생하여 에바포레이터 표면에 흡착된다. Here, the cooling unit of the vehicle air conditioning system is equipped with an evaporator to generate cold air, and when the air conditioning system operates, water droplets are generated in the evaporator due to the temperature difference with the air being heat exchanged, causing water droplets to form on the surface of the evaporator. is absorbed.

따라서 차량의 냉방유닛 가동 시 외부에서 유입되는 공기 중의 이물질이 물방울에 부착되어 에바포레이터에 곰팡이와 세균이 서식할 수 있다. Therefore, when the vehicle's cooling unit is running, foreign substances in the air coming in from the outside may attach to water droplets, causing mold and bacteria to grow in the evaporator.

이에 에바포레이터의 곰팡이와 세균의 발생을 방지하는 다양한 장치들이 개발되고 있다.Accordingly, various devices are being developed to prevent the occurrence of mold and bacteria in evaporators.

예컨대 대한민국등록특허공보 10-0534804호 등에 개시된 바와 같은 플라즈마 반응기를 구비한 차량 공조장치가 있었다.For example, there was a vehicle air conditioning device equipped with a plasma reactor as disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0534804.

하지만 플라즈마 반응기를 구비한 차량 공조장치의 경우 차량의 운행여부에 상관없이 작동되어 오존 촉매를 관리하지 못할 경우 플라즈마 반응기 작동 시 발생되는 오존에 노출되는 단점이 있었다.However, vehicle air conditioning systems equipped with plasma reactors operate regardless of whether the vehicle is running, so if the ozone catalyst is not managed, there is a disadvantage in being exposed to ozone generated during operation of the plasma reactor.

상기의 이유로 해당 분야에서는 에바포레이터의 곰팡이와 세균의 발생을 방지하는 다양한 장치의 개발을 시도하고 있으나, 현재까지는 만족할만한 결과를 얻지 못하고 있는 실정이다.For the above reasons, attempts are being made in the field to develop various devices to prevent the occurrence of mold and bacteria in evaporators, but satisfactory results have not been obtained to date.

이하, 첨부 도면에 의거 본 발명에 대하여 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

도 1에 도시된 바와 같이 본 발명에 의한 차량 공조시스템 청정장치(1)는 공조시스템(100); 플라즈마 모듈(200); 을 포함한다.As shown in Figure 1, the vehicle air conditioning system cleaning device 1 according to the present invention includes an air conditioning system 100; Plasma module 200; Includes.

본 발명의 공조시스템(100)은 외기 또는 내기를 유입할 수 있는 내외기플랩(110)에서 유입받은 공기를 블로워팬(120)으로 차량(10)의 실내를 송풍할 수 있다.The air conditioning system 100 of the present invention can blow air received from the interior/exterior air flap 110, which can introduce outside air or indoor air, into the interior of the vehicle 10 using a blower fan 120.

이때, 외기는 차량(10)의 외부 공기를 유입할 수 있다.At this time, the outside air may be introduced into the vehicle 10.

여기서, 내기는 차량(10)의 실내 공기를 유입할 수 있다.Here, the bet may introduce indoor air of the vehicle 10.

이때, 블로워팬(120)에서 전달된 공기를 냉방할 수 있는 에바포레이터(130)가 구비될 수 있다.At this time, an evaporator 130 that can cool the air delivered from the blower fan 120 may be provided.

여기서, 에바포레이터(130)의 전단에는 블로워팬(120)에서 전달된 공기를 난방할 수 있는 히터코어(140)가 구비될 수 있다.Here, the front end of the evaporator 130 may be provided with a heater core 140 capable of heating the air delivered from the blower fan 120.

이때, 냉방 또는 난방된 공기를 실내에 유입 또는 차단할 수 있는 복수개의 공조플랩(150)이 구비되어 차량(10)의 실내 온도를 조절할 수 있다.At this time, a plurality of air conditioning flaps 150 that can introduce or block cooled or heated air into the interior are provided to control the interior temperature of the vehicle 10.

본 발명의 플라즈마 모듈(200)은 에바포레이터(130)에 구비될 수 있다.The plasma module 200 of the present invention may be provided in the evaporator 130.

이때, 플라즈마 모듈(200)은 플라즈마를 발생시켜 에바포레이터(130)를 살균할 수 있다.At this time, the plasma module 200 can sterilize the evaporator 130 by generating plasma.

여기서, 플라즈마 모듈(200)은 플라즈마로 살균할 수 있는 것이라면 통상의 어떠한 구조 및 방식의 것이어도 무방한바, 플라즈마 모듈(200)에 관한 상세한 설명은 생략한다.Here, the plasma module 200 may have any conventional structure and method as long as it can be sterilized by plasma, and detailed description of the plasma module 200 will be omitted.

이때, 플라즈마 모듈(200)로 에바포레이터(130)를 살균할 때 플라즈마에 의해 공기 중의 산소가 반응하여 소량의 오존이 발생되어 인체에 유해할 수 있다.At this time, when the evaporator 130 is sterilized using the plasma module 200, oxygen in the air reacts with the plasma to generate a small amount of ozone, which may be harmful to the human body.

그리하여, 플라즈마 모듈(200)을 제어하는 컨트롤러(300)가 구비될 수 있다.Thus, a controller 300 that controls the plasma module 200 may be provided.

이때, 컨트롤러(300)에는 운행감지수단(310)을 포함하여 운행감지수단(310) 감지결과에 따라 상기 차량의 운행이 정지되었을 때 플라즈마 모듈(200)이 작동될 수 있다.At this time, the controller 300 includes a driving detection means 310, and the plasma module 200 can be operated when the vehicle is stopped according to the detection result of the driving sensing means 310.

여기서, 운행감지수단(310)은 일반적으로 차량(10)을 제어하기 위해 구비된 ECU(Electronic Control Unit)를 통해 차량(10)의 시동 여부를 알 수 있다.Here, the driving detection means 310 can generally know whether the vehicle 10 is started through an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) provided to control the vehicle 10.

이때, 승객감지센서(410)를 통해 운전자나 승객을 감지하여 시동이 꺼진 차량(10) 실내에 운전자나 승객이 있을 때 장치가 작동되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.At this time, by detecting the driver or passenger through the passenger detection sensor 410, the device can be prevented from operating when the driver or passenger is inside the vehicle 10 with the engine turned off.

여기서, 일 실시예로서 플라즈마 모듈(200)이 작동될 때, 도2에 도시된 바와 같이 블로워팬(120)은 최대 속도로 시계 반대 방향으로 회전하여 에바포레이터(130)를 살균할 때 발생하는 오존이나 오염된 공기를 외부로 방출할 수 있다.Here, as an example, when the plasma module 200 is operated, as shown in Figure 2, the blower fan 120 rotates counterclockwise at maximum speed to sterilize the evaporator 130. Ozone or polluted air may be released to the outside.

이때 차량(10)의 실내에 오존이나 오염된 공기의 유입을 방지하기 위해 공조플랩(150)은 모두 닫혀 에바포레이터(130) 살균이 완료된 뒤 개방될 수 있다.At this time, in order to prevent ozone or polluted air from entering the interior of the vehicle 10, all air conditioning flaps 150 may be closed and opened after sterilization of the evaporator 130 is completed.

본 발명에 의한 차량 공조시스템 청정장치(1)에 대하여 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.The vehicle air conditioning system cleaning device (1) according to the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

본 발명에서 공조시스템(100)은 차량(10)에 구비되어 외기 또는 내기를 유입 할수 있는 내외기플랩(110)에서 유입받은 공기를 블로워팬(120)으로 차량(10)의 실내를 송풍하고, 블로워팬(120)에서 전달된 공기를 냉방할 수 있는 에바포레이터(130)가 구비될 수 있다.In the present invention, the air conditioning system 100 is provided in the vehicle 10 and blows air received from the interior and exterior air flap 110, which can introduce outside air or inside air, into the interior of the vehicle 10 with a blower fan 120, An evaporator 130 that can cool the air delivered from the blower fan 120 may be provided.

여기서, 에바포레이터(130)의 전단에는 블로워팬(120)에서 전달된 공기를 난방할 수 있는 히터코어(140)가 구비될 수 있다.Here, the front end of the evaporator 130 may be provided with a heater core 140 capable of heating the air delivered from the blower fan 120.

이때, 냉방 또는 난방된 공기를 실내에 유입 또는 차단할 수 있는 복수개의 공조플랩(150)이 구비되어 차량(10)의 실내 온도를 조절할 수 있다.At this time, a plurality of air conditioning flaps 150 that can introduce or block cooled or heated air into the interior are provided to control the interior temperature of the vehicle 10.

여기서, 플라즈마 모듈(200)은 에바포레이터(130)에 구비될 수 있다.Here, the plasma module 200 may be provided in the evaporator 130.

이때, 플라즈마 모듈(200)로 에바포레이터(130)를 살균할 때 플라즈마에 의해 공기 중의 산소가 반응하여 소량의 오존이 발생되어 승객에게 유해할 수 있다.At this time, when the evaporator 130 is sterilized using the plasma module 200, oxygen in the air reacts with the plasma to generate a small amount of ozone, which may be harmful to passengers.

여기서, 컨트롤러(200)가 구비되어 도3에 도시된 바와 같이 플라즈마 모듈(200)을 제어할 수 있다.Here, a controller 200 is provided to control the plasma module 200 as shown in FIG. 3.

이때, 컨트롤러(200)는 운행감지수단(310)이 포함되어 운행감지수단(310) 감지결과에 따라 상기 차량의 운행이 정지되었을 때 플라즈마 모듈(200)이 작동될 수 있다.At this time, the controller 200 includes the operation detection means 310, so that the plasma module 200 can be operated when the vehicle is stopped according to the detection result of the operation detection means 310.

여기서, 운행감지수단(310)은 일반적으로 차량(10)을 제어하기 위해 구비된 ECU(Electronic Control Unit)를 통해 차량(10)의 시동 여부를 알 수 있다.Here, the driving detection means 310 can generally know whether the vehicle 10 is started through an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) provided to control the vehicle 10.

이때, 차량(10)의 시동 여부만으로 플라즈마 모듈(200)을 작동할 경우 운전자나 승객이 시동이 꺼진 차량(10)의 실내에 있을 때 오존에 노출될 수 있다.At this time, if the plasma module 200 is operated solely on whether or not the vehicle 10 is started, the driver or passengers may be exposed to ozone when they are inside the vehicle 10 with the engine turned off.

여기서, 승객감지센서(410)를 통해 운전자나 승객이 시동이 꺼진 차량(10) 실내에 운전자나 승객이 있을 때 장치가 작동되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.Here, the passenger detection sensor 410 can prevent the device from operating when the driver or passenger is inside the vehicle 10 with the engine turned off.

이때, 컨트롤러(300)는 차량(10)이 정지되어 운전자나 승객이 없을 때, 플라즈마 모듈(200)을 작동시키고, 블로워팬(120)은 최대 속도로 시계 반대 방향으로 회전하여 외부로 에바포레이터(130)를 살균할 때 발생하는 오존이나 오염된 공기를 외부로 방출할 수 있다.At this time, when the vehicle 10 is stopped and there are no drivers or passengers, the controller 300 operates the plasma module 200, and the blower fan 120 rotates counterclockwise at maximum speed to discharge the evaporator to the outside. (130) Ozone or contaminated air generated when sterilizing can be released to the outside.

또한, 다른 일실시예로서 플라즈마 모듈(200)을 작동될 때, 컨트롤러(300)는 히터코어(140)를 가동시켜 살균효과를 더욱 높힐수 있다.Additionally, in another embodiment, when the plasma module 200 is operated, the controller 300 operates the heater core 140 to further increase the sterilization effect.

여기서, 차량(10)의 실내에 플라즈마 모듈(200) 작동으로 발생되는 오존이외에도 에바포레이터(130)를 살균할 때 유해한 공기가 발생되어 차량(10)의 실내로 유입될 수 있다.Here, in addition to ozone generated by the operation of the plasma module 200 in the interior of the vehicle 10, harmful air may be generated when the evaporator 130 is sterilized and may be introduced into the interior of the vehicle 10.

이때, 공조플랩(150)은 모두 닫혀 에바포레이터(130) 살균이 완료된 뒤 개방되어 차량(10)의 실내에 오존이나 오염된 공기의 유입을 방지할 수 있다.At this time, the air conditioning flaps 150 are all closed and opened after sterilization of the evaporator 130 is completed to prevent ozone or contaminated air from entering the interior of the vehicle 10.
