Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle deodorizing device, and more particularly to a vehicle deodorizing device for removing bad odors such as cigarettes, body odors, and exhaust gas in the vehicle by ozone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The applicant of the present invention has filed Japanese Patent Application No. 2-8152 as a compact and portable ozone generator for deodorizing indoor air.
Developed 0.

[0003]

However, the ozone generator developed by the above applicant is a cigarette generated in an automobile,
In order to deodorize exhaust gases and body odors, no consideration was given to enabling the user to drive by remote control while sitting in the driver's seat.

Therefore, a deodorizing device for a vehicle has been developed in which the ozone generator is improved so that it can be easily driven by a remote operation while the user is sitting in the driver's seat, so that the bad odor generated in the vehicle can be deodorized. The first purpose is to provide.

When the ozone generator developed by the above applicant is placed in front of the driver's seat (front of the windshield), the volume is about 30 cm × 10 cm × 26 cm.
This impairs the visibility of the driver and is inconvenient for safety.

Therefore, it is a second object of the present invention to provide a deodorizing device for an automobile, in which the entire ozone generator is made compact and the operation of controlling the energization of the ozone generator and the blower can be easily performed.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention has a power supply unit, a control unit driven by the output of the power supply unit, and an operation unit for remotely operating the control unit. The operation unit controls the control unit. The energization control of the ozone generator and the electric blower for blowing air is thereby performed.

Further, according to the present invention, the power supply unit, the control unit driven by the output of the power supply unit, the ozone generating unit and the air blowing unit driven by the control unit can be mounted in a compact housing. .

[0009]

According to the first means described above, the control unit driven by the output of the power supply unit sets the position of the transmission unit of the operation unit such that the signal transmitted from the transmission unit is arranged in front of the vehicle. It is selected so that it is received by the receiving unit of the operation unit by using the signal reflecting member that is present. In this state, since the ozone generator and the air blower are driven from the transmitter of the operation unit, ozone is generated from the ozone generator, and this ozone is blown by the blower and sent out into the vehicle. The offensive odor generated is deodorized.

According to the second means, a power source unit, an ozone generator and a blower unit driven by the power source unit, etc. are mounted on a compact casing, and when a part of the compact casing is depressed, ozone is generated. Since the air blower and the air blower are driven, ozone is generated from the ozone generator, and this ozone is blown by the air blower and sent out into the automobile, so that the malodor generated in the automobile is deodorized.
