Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a remote control device for an on-vehicle air cleaner.

0002

[Background Art] In recent years, attention has been paid to the harmful effects of cigarette smoke, and with the increase in air pollution caused by automobile exhaust gas, in-vehicle air purifiers have been developed to purify the air inside automobile cabins and improve comfort. The number of installations is increasing.

[0003] In addition, the operation is performed by operating a switch provided on the air purifier body, or the control wire is routed from the air purifier to the vicinity of the driver's seat, and the operation is performed from the driver's seat. There is. Furthermore, some air purifiers are equipped with a gas sensor that detects cigarette smoke or automobile exhaust gas and are activated when cigarette smoke or exhaust gas is present.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with the above configuration, operations may not be possible while driving the car.
In order to install the wiring, the interior material inside the car must be removed, the wiring performed, and the interior material reinstalled. Furthermore, even if you smoke in the driver's seat, it takes time for the smoke to reach the gas sensor in the air purifier itself, which causes problems such as the air purifier not operating promptly.

[0005] The present invention solves these problems and eliminates the need for special wiring work when installing an on-vehicle air purifier, is easy to operate, and reacts immediately to cigarette smoke. The present invention provides a remote control device for an in-vehicle air purifier.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve this object, the remote control device for the in-vehicle air purifier of the present invention is equipped with an infrared remote control receiver on the air purifier body installed on the rear tray, and is powered by a solar battery. The system consists of an infrared remote control transmitter equipped with a gas sensor located in front of the driver's seat.

[0007] Furthermore, the electric circuit and gas sensor operated by solar cells are backed up by a secondary battery.

[0008]

[Operation] With this configuration, the infrared remote control transmitter is installed in front of the driver's seat, so it can be operated while driving. By the above operation, infrared rays are emitted from the infrared remote control transmitter and reach the infrared remote control receiver inside the vehicle air purifier installed on the rear tray. Additionally, the infrared remote control transmitter is equipped with a gas sensor, so it immediately responds to cigarette smoke smoked by the driver. It also reacts to air pollution caused by exhaust gas near the driver's seat. The solar battery is backed up by a secondary battery, so it can be operated at night or on cloudy days.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an infrared remote control transmitter that includes a solar cell 10, a secondary battery 11, and a gas sensor 12. Reference numeral 2 denotes an on-vehicle air purifier, which is equipped with an infrared remote control receiver 9 inside. 3 is an illustration of infrared rays,
4 is the driver's seat, 5 is the back seat, 6 is the steering wheel, 7a, 7b
are wheels, and 8 is a rear tray.

The operation of the remote control device for a vehicle air cleaner constructed as described above will be explained below.

By installing the infrared remote control transmitter 1 with adhesive tape or clips on the ceiling or sun visor in front of the driver's seat 4, the driver can operate the infrared remote control transmitter 1 while driving and in a place where the movement of his/her line of sight is minimal. Can be operated. The above operation causes infrared remote control transmitter 1 to transmit infrared 3
is emitted and reaches an infrared remote control receiver 9 provided inside the vehicle air cleaner 2 installed on the rear tray 8.

[0013] This makes it possible to switch the operation of the vehicle air purifier, for example, stop, strong wind, weak wind, automatic, etc. Further, since the infrared remote control transmitter 1 is provided with a gas sensor 12, the distance between the gas sensor 12 and the smoker is short, and cigarette smoke is immediately detected, and the presence of smoke is transmitted to the infrared remote control receiver 9. The timing of transmission in this embodiment is when smoke or exhaust gas is detected.

The gas sensor 12 detects ammonia gas and hydrogen sulfide gas contained in cigarette smoke.

Furthermore, since the infrared remote control transmitter 1 uses a solar battery 10 and is equipped with a backup battery 11, it can be operated at night or in cloudy weather.

As described above, according to this embodiment, by attaching a remote control device including an infrared remote control transmitter equipped with a solar cell, a secondary battery, and a gas sensor to an on-vehicle air cleaner, no wiring work is required. This means that the driver can operate the in-vehicle air purifier from the driver's seat, and the gas sensor can be placed near the smoker or the driver.

[0017]

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides an in-vehicle air purifier equipped with an infrared remote control receiver, operated by a solar cell and a secondary battery, and an infrared remote control transmitter equipped with a gas sensor located in front of the driver's seat. By being prepared for this, it is possible to install the operation part of the in-vehicle air purifier without any wiring work, and the in-vehicle air purifier can be installed at the rear of the vehicle while the driver is sitting in the driver's seat and with minimal line of sight movement. Able to operate equipment. Furthermore, when a person smokes a cigarette, the air purifier is activated immediately, improving the comfort inside the vehicle. It also works well even in areas with a lot of exhaust gas, increasing comfort and allowing you to focus on safe driving.
