Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an in-vehicle fragrance device, and particularly to an in-vehicle fragrance device that is incorporated inside a vehicle, does not occupy storage space in the vehicle cabin, and supplies fragrance into the vehicle cabin by utilizing the vehicle's air conditioning circulation system.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, in order to improve odors in the vehicle cabin, hanging-type fragrance products, fragrance containers placed on the instrument panel, and the like have been used.

[0003] However, such exposed fragrance products occupy the limited space in the vehicle cabin, may impair the appearance of the vehicle cabin, or affect the operability of on-vehicle devices.

[0004] Therefore, there is a demand for a fragrance device that does not occupy storage space in the vehicle cabin and can supply fragrance into the vehicle cabin by utilizing the existing air conditioning circulation system of the vehicle.

Summary of the Invention

Problem to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide an in-vehicle fragrance device that can be installed inside a vehicle without occupying storage space in the vehicle cabin, and can supply fragrance into the vehicle cabin via the vehicle blower and the vehicle air conditioning circulation system.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] An in-vehicle fragrance device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a first base, a second base provided on the first base, a fragrance fan having one end connected to the first base and the other end connected to the second base, and a fragrance unit provided on the first base, where the fragrance fan sends the fragrance of the fragrance unit into the vehicle blower, and supplies the fragrance into the vehicle cabin via the vehicle air conditioning circulation system.

[0007] The vehicle interior fragrance device may further include a display unit that notifies the vehicle owner when the fragrance material needs to be replaced and allows the user to start or stop the device.

[0008] The display unit may show ECO mode, circulation mode, and fragrance exchange mode.

[0009] The vehicle interior fragrance device may further include an electronic control unit that calculates the usage time of the fragrance material.

[0010] The aforementioned vehicle interior fragrance device may be incorporated into the vehicle interior without compromising the vehicle's original design and without occupying storage space within the vehicle.

[0011] The aforementioned vehicle interior fragrance device may further include a replaceable fragrance material container. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to this invention, by incorporating the fragrance device into the vehicle's interior, it is possible to suppress its occupancy of storage space within the vehicle's cabin.

[0013] Furthermore, by using a fragrance fan to send fragrance to the vehicle's air blower and supplying it to the passenger compartment via the vehicle's air conditioning circulation system, the fragrance can be dispersed throughout the passenger compartment.

[0014] Furthermore, by providing a display unit, an electronic control unit, and a replaceable fragrance material container, operability and maintainability can be improved. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0015] [Figure 1] This is a front perspective view of a vehicle interior fragrance device according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a rear view of the air freshener inside the vehicle. [Figure 3] This is a disassembled perspective view of the air freshener device inside the vehicle. [Figure 4] This is a schematic diagram showing the display status of the air freshener device inside the vehicle. [Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. Each drawing is schematically illustrated, and the dimensional ratios of respective components do not necessarily match the actual ones.

[0017] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the in-vehicle fragrance apparatus 100 includes a first base 10, a second base 20, a fragrance fan 11, and a fragrance unit 12.

[0018] The second base 20 is provided on the first base 10. One end of the fragrance fan 11 is connected to the first base 10, and the other end is connected to the second base 20.

[0019] The fragrance unit 12 is provided on the first base 10, and accommodates or supports a fragrance material. By the operation of the fragrance fan 11, the fragrance released from the fragrance unit 12 is delivered into the vehicle blower.

[0020] The vehicle blower and the vehicle air conditioning circulation system connected thereto supply air containing fragrance into the vehicle cabin.

[0021] As shown in Figure 4, the in-vehicle fragrance apparatus 100 may be provided with a display unit 30. The display unit 30 is configured to notify the vehicle owner of the replacement timing of the fragrance material, and allow the user to start or stop the apparatus 100.

[0022] The display unit 30 displays an ECO mode 31, a circulation mode 32, and a fragrance replacement mode 33.

[0023] In the ECO mode 31, after the accessory power signal of the vehicle is activated, the apparatus 100 operates for about 3 minutes and then stops.

[0024] In the circulation mode 32, after an operation input, the apparatus 100 operates for about 3 minutes and then stops for about 1 hour. This cycle of operation and stop is repeated until the circulation mode 32 is canceled.

[0025] The fragrance replacement mode 33 indicates that the fragrance material needs to be replaced.

[0026] The in-vehicle fragrance apparatus 100 may further include an electronic control unit 40 that calculates the usage time of the fragrance material.

[0027] The in-vehicle fragrance apparatus 100 is incorporated inside the vehicle so as not to impair the original design of the vehicle and not to occupy the storage space in the vehicle cabin.

[0028] A replaceable fragrance material container 50 may be provided inside the in-vehicle fragrance apparatus 100. This allows the vehicle owner to easily replace the fragrance material.

[0029] While one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist stated in the claims of the utility model.
