Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the maloder from blowing off by a method wherein a deodorant exhaling opening is provided on the outer surface of a blow-off grille wind direction changing plate and the deodorant is arranged inside of the wind direction changing plate, in an air conditioner grille for a car. CONSTITUTION:Small holes 203 are bored on the outer surface of a blow-off wind direction changing plate 2a of an air conditioner grille, a deodorant 8 impregnated a limonene and the like is filled up inside of the wind direction changing plate. By such a structure, when a blow-off air is flowed along a guide part 201 of the direction changing plate 2a, the deodorant 8 contained inside of the direction changing plate is exhaled from the small holes 203, the mixed into the air flowed along the guide part 201, accordingly, a malodor emitted along the blow-off air is deodorized.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an air conditioning grill containing a deodorizer for eliminating bad odors from the outlet grill of an air conditioner used for vehicles or homes.

For example, in a car, the interior space of the car is narrow, so
Odor components such as human sweat or cigarettes tend to accumulate in the vehicle interior, and as a result, the odor components may accumulate or adhere to the heat exchangers of the vehicle's air conditioners (car heaters, car coolers).

Therefore, in the early stages of operation of the air conditioner, a bad odor is blown out from the outlet grille into the vehicle interior.

In order to solve this problem, attempts have been made to install a container containing an air freshener or deodorizer in the vehicle interior, but this has not had an effective effect on the odor itself coming from the air outlet.

In view of the above points, the present invention includes a deodorizing agent that extinguishes bad odor components in the air inside the airflow direction changing plate of the outlet grille, and a deodorizing agent that eliminates bad odor components in the air on the outer surface of this changing plate. By providing this opening, it is intended to effectively deodorize the malodorous components blown out from the blow-off grill.

The present invention will be explained in detail below using a specific example in which the present invention is applied to an automobile air conditioner. First, the configuration of the air outlet grill of the air conditioner will be explained. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 designates an air outlet grill provided on an instrument panel in a vehicle interior, and has bins 4 and 5 integrally formed on both side walls thereof. This grill 1 is inserted into the opening of the instrument panel using its pin 4.5, and the grill 1 is rotated in the vertical direction by the pin 4.5.

2a to 2f are wind direction changing plates, and bins 3a and 3b are provided at both ends of these changing plates 2a to 2f. The bin 3a of each change plate is rotatably inserted into a hole inside the grill 1. 6 is a connecting plate, and the bins 3b of the changing plates 2a to 2f are rotatably inserted into the holes 6a of the connecting plate 6, and when one changing plate is rotated, the other changing plates are interlocked by the connecting plate 6. It has a structure that rotates.

The change plates 2a to 2f have the structure shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. That is, the change plate is composed of a guide portion 201 and a cap 202, and the guide portion 201 has a hollow structure so that the inside thereof is shaped like a container. The cap 202 has a structure that fits into the opening of the guide portion 201.

A large number of small holes 203 are provided on both opposing sides of the guide portion 201.
is provided to communicate between the inside and outside of the guide portion 201. , a supply port 204 is provided on the front side of the guide section 201.
is provided, and the supply port 204 is normally closed by a stopper 205.

A large number of deodorants 8 are housed inside the guide portion 201 . For example, it has a structure in which unglazed ceramic spheres are impregnated with naturally occurring vegetable essential oils such as limonene. Note that the ceramic ball is of course larger in size than the small hole 203 of the guide part 201, and the refill port 2
It is smaller in size than 04.

In the above configuration, the operation will be explained next. Conditioned air obtained by an air conditioner (not shown) is blown by a blower and blown out from an air conditioning outlet grill. At this time, the wind direction is arbitrarily changed by the wind direction changing plates 2a to 2f and the air is blown into the vehicle interior.

Here, since the air-conditioned wind flows along the side surfaces of the guide portions 201 of the wind direction changing plates 2a to 2f, the deodorizing components of the deodorant 8 inside the changing plates are absorbed into the many small holes 201 of the guide portions 201.
3, and the deodorizing component is mixed with the wind flowing along the side surface of the guide portion 201.

Therefore, the bad odor of the air conditioner blow-off air, which often occurs immediately after the air conditioner starts operating, is removed (masked) by the deodorizing component of the deodorizing agent 8, thereby eliminating the discomfort felt by the occupants. .

Note that when the effectiveness of the deodorant 8 decreases, a new deodorant can be replenished from the replenishment port 204 by removing the stopper 205 of the guide portion 201 of the changing plates 2a to 2f.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but can be modified in various ways as described below.

(11 In the present invention, fragrances are also included in the scope of deodorants.

Therefore, by using this aromatic agent, malodor components can be masked by the aromatic components.

(2) The deodorant may have a structure in which fibers such as nonwoven fabric are impregnated, and the deodorant may have any form.

(3) It is not necessary to incorporate a deodorant in all of the change plates 2a to 2f, and it is of course possible to incorporate one or three of them.

(4) The change plate may be structured so that it can be divided in the center and a deodorant may be placed inside. Alternatively, one of the bins 3a at both ends of the changing plate may be of a screw-in type, and the deodorant may be poured from there.

(5) It goes without saying that the present invention is applicable not only to automobiles but also to air conditioners for a wide range of uses such as home use.

As described above, in the present invention, the deodorizing agent is placed inside the wind direction changing plate of the outlet grille, and the deodorizing component of the deodorant is dissipated in the blowing air flowing along this changing plate. It is possible to effectively eliminate the odor of the air blown out from the air outlet grille when the air conditioner is activated.

Furthermore, since the deodorizer is placed inside the wind direction changing board, it does not take up much space to install, and the deodorizer is not visible from the outside, so it looks good.
