Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle air conditioning filter technology, specifically a vehicle air conditioning filter with high-efficiency protection function. Background Technology

[0002] As competition in the automotive market intensifies, major automakers are launching new models to cater to diverse consumer aesthetics and needs. Among the numerous models available, most brands and products attract users with their appearance and performance. However, it's undeniable that as living standards improve, a car's health and safety are becoming increasingly important factors for Chinese consumers when making purchasing decisions. The future of automobiles is shifting from a means of transportation to a pre-booked travel experience, and the "invisible" safety of the cabin is receiving increasing attention. According to relevant test data, when a vehicle is in a high-temperature environment, the formaldehyde concentration increases by 0.4 times for every 1 degree Celsius increase in the interior temperature.

[0003] For example, in the high temperatures of summer, if a vehicle is exposed to the sun for an hour, the interior temperature may reach 50 degrees Celsius. Under such high temperatures, toxic gases released inside the vehicle can cause drivers to experience headaches, dizziness, and other discomfort, and may even pose a threat to their health. To ensure cabin air quality, the China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC) developed the "China Green Vehicle Evaluation Regulations." These regulations require every vehicle meeting the green vehicle evaluation standard to be equipped with a CN95 air conditioning filter and an intelligent cabin cleaning system. Furthermore, the purification system can quickly remove fine particulate matter from the air and settle bacteria.

[0004] When traveling with children, special attention should be paid to environmental allergies. Compared to adults, children's skin is thinner and more delicate, and their immune system is not fully developed. When exposed to germs, they are more prone to skin diseases. Therefore, based on actual usage, we have improved the existing technology mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Furthermore: the filter media assembly is folded in a pleated manner within the frame assembly.

[0014] Further: A method for preparing a vehicle air conditioning filter with high-efficiency protective function includes the following steps: preparation of the air conditioning filter media assembly; post-processing of the filter media assembly; trial production and testing of samples; adjustment of material parameters and processes based on the trial production and testing results; and packaging of the product after it passes inspection. Furthermore, in the sample preparation, an automatic adjustable finishing agent coating production line was used for the finishing agent treatment of the skeleton layer, which includes adjustable liquid tank roller immersion height, automatic alignment material rack and load capacity digital display, and the oven temperature range is 0-200 degrees.

[0015] Further testing of the samples includes testing the filter media resistance within the filter media assembly, filtration performance, and dust holding capacity.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. According to test data, the skeleton layer of this invention is impregnated with a four-proof finishing agent and its surface is coated with strong oxidizing molecules. This filters bacteria, dust, and virus carriers, giving the filter material component anti-mildew, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-mite functions.
