Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a washer fluid heating apparatus for automobile,

The present invention can easily remove frozen snow on the front window of a vehicle when the snow falls in the winter season by applying a hot wire to the hose for spraying the washer liquid or applying a hot wire heater to the nozzle for spraying the washer liquid By applying a hot wire to the hose that ejects the washer liquid, or by applying a hot-wire heater that can control the nozzle for spraying the washer liquid, the efficiency for removing oil and various foreign substances by soot is doubled, A type in which a heater is mounted on one side of a hose for spraying a washer fluid, a mode in which a heating hose is used for an electric reaction, a connecting portion of the washer fluid passing hose It is a type that uses a heater attached to it, a conductive polymer that passes electricity well, (+, -) are formed on both vertical ends of the hose, and only the power supply is provided. Thus, it is possible to provide a simple and convenient automobile washer fluid heating device .

Generally, the front of the vehicle is equipped with a transparent front glass to prevent the wind while driving and to allow the driver to easily find the front clock. Such a windshield needs to be kept clean at all times for a comfortable driving as well as an easy front watch.

Therefore, most drivers wipe the windshield from time to time. And a wiper device that rotates by a driving motor in case the front glass is contaminated during traveling. For example, in the case of rain, it is difficult to secure the watch by muddy water splashed on the windshield. In this case, wipe the windshield by operating the wiper.

However, in the winter season, when frost and moisture generate frost on the windshield glass, or when snow or rain freezes in the windshield glass, it is impossible to remove these foreign substances through the conventional washer fluid spraying, It becomes impossible to perform the operation.

In addition, when only the wiper is operated on the windshield, the wiper blade composed of a rubber material may be damaged, and the cleaning efficiency is reduced. Therefore, the operation of the wiper and the spraying of the washer fluid Device is provided.

1 is a view schematically showing an installation state of a normal washer liquid injecting apparatus. As shown in Fig. 1, a washer liquid tank 100 for retaining a washer fluid in the engine compartment is provided. A supply pipe 130 for supplying the washer liquid from the washer liquid tank 100 to the nozzles 140 arranged toward the front glass 150 is provided. The nozzle 140 is installed at two places so as to spray the washer liquid toward the normal operation line and the passenger seat. Further, a motor pump 120 for pumping the washer liquid to generate the injection pressure is provided. The motor pump 120 is generally attached to the washer fluid tank 100 and is integrally formed with the washer fluid tank 100. The motor pump 120 is controlled to be turned on / off by the wiper operating knob provided in the driver's seat. When most of the vehicle is sprayed with the washer fluid, the wiper device is simultaneously driven to clean the windshield 150 do.

In the washer fluid tank 100, an injection pipe 110 having an injection port at the upper end is extended upward to replace and replenish the washer liquid. The injection port is provided with a lid 160 for opening and closing the lid 160 for preventing leakage of the washer liquid during driving.

The washer liquid mainly uses a dedicated liquid. In the case of a dedicated liquid, a cleaning agent is included to improve the cleaning efficiency.

Such a washer liquid spraying apparatus has a problem of being frozen in winter, and a problem may occur that the entire washer liquid tank 100 needs to be replaced accompanied by freezing of the motor pumper 120 severely.

In order to prevent this, conventionally, temperature sensors are provided inside and outside of the washer fluid tank 100 to prevent the washer fluid from being cooled by keeping the washer fluid in the tank always higher than the outside temperature.

However, in an apparatus having a temperature sensor inside and outside the tank, the difference between the internal temperature and the external temperature is sensed to detect the inflow of the washer fluid. In order to maintain the temperature inside the tank always higher than the external temperature, there is a problem that the heating body must be operated, and frequent operation of the heating element leads to unnecessary power consumption.

Accordingly, it is possible to easily remove the frozen snow on the front windshield of the automobile when the snow falls in the winter season by applying a hot wire to the hose for spraying the washer liquid, or by applying a controllable hot-wire heater to the nozzle for spraying the washer liquid, It can double the efficiency for removing oil and various foreign substances by soot, and it is possible to secure the safety view of the driver by eliminating the icing phenomenon in the winter season where temperature drop is severe, and the heater is mounted on one side of the hose for spraying the washer liquid The shape of the hose used for the electric reaction, the shape used for attaching the heater to the connecting portion of the washer fluid passing hose, and the shape of the conductive polymer which is electrically conductive and is used as the hose. (+, -) is formed at both ends of the hose If a smooth supply situation that is being developed is a simple and convenient car washer fluid heating device for urgently needed because the heating.
