Claims
- 1. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle, said device having a control device connected to a solar battery, a storage battery, an operation means and a ventilation means, said preliminary ventilating device being able to be set by a change-over operation of said operation means to either of charging mode in which said storage battery is charged from said solar battery, forced exhaust mode in which said ventilation means is driven by power supplied from said storage battery, and parking ventilating mode in which said ventilation means is driven by an electromotive force supplied from said solar battery, said ventilation means including a plurality of ventilating fans driven by a d.c. motor,
- said preliminary ventilating device comprising:
- a gradual starting means for activating a first ventilating fan in said ventilating fans by gradually increasing and continuously applying a voltage and a current from the electromotive force supplied from said solar battery; and
- a switch means for controlling simultaneous application of the voltage and the current from the electromotive force supplied from said solar battery to a second ventilating fan in the ventilating fans,
- wherein, when the parking ventilation mode is set, said switch means is operated to activate the second ventilating fan after the first ventilating fan has been activated by said gradual starting means.
- 2. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 1, further comprising a control means connected to said switch means and having a timer means, and an activation detection means for detecting an activated state of said second ventilating fan, and wherein, when said activation detection means detects that said second ventilating fan is not activated by the operation of said switch means, passage of a predetermined time is checked by means of said timer means, and then the operation of said switch means is executed to activate said second ventilating fan.
- 3. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 2, further comprising a number of non-operation times detection means for detecting a number of times the second ventilating van is not activated by the application of said switch means, and a set time changing means for increasing time intervals of the operation of said switch means when the number of non-operation times has reached a predetermined number of times, and wherein the operation of said switch means is repeated to activate the second ventilating fan.
- 4. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 1 wherein said vehicle comprises a passenger car having at least a roof portion, and wherein said solar battery comprises an amorphous silicon solar battery which is disposed on said roof portion.
- 5. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said solar battery exhibits a suitable transparency, and also serves as a window member for a sun roof which can be opened and closed.
- 6. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said vehicle comprises a passenger car having at least a trunk, and wherein said control device is contained in a box container in a state wherein it is connected to said solar battery, said storage battery, said operation means and said ventilation means, said box container being disposed in said trunk.
- 7. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said first and second ventilating fans are disposed on the two side portions in said trunk which are hidden by side portions of a rear bumper, said first and second ventilating fans being disposed in an intermediate portion of a duct means for communicating an interior of the vehicle with outside thereof to perform said ventilation.
- 8. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said first and second ventilating fans each have a shutter means for preventing entry of outside air, said shutter means being automatically opened and closed by the ventilation.
- 9. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 2, wherein said vehicle comprises a passenger car having at least a roof portion, and wherein said solar battery comprises an amorphous silicon solar battery which is disposed on said roof portion.
- 10. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 3, wherein said vehicle comprises a passenger car having at least a roof portion, and wherein said solar battery comprises an amorphous silicon solar battery which is disposed on said roof portion.
- 11. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 2, wherein said solar battery exhibits a suitable transparency, and also serves as a window member for a sun roof which can be opened and closed.
- 12. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 3, wherein said solar battery exhibits a suitable transparency, and also serves as a window member for a sun roof which can be opened and closed.
- 13. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 2, wherein said vehicle comprises a passenger car having at least a trunk, and wherein said control device is contained in a box container in a state wherein it is connected to said solar battery, said storage battery, said operation means and said ventilation means, said box container being disposed in said trunk.
- 14. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 3, wherein said vehicle comprises a passenger car having at least a trunk, and wherein said control device is contained in a box container in a state wherein it is connected to said solar battery, said storage battery, said operation means and said ventilation means, said box container being disposed in said trunk.
- 15. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 2, wherein said first and second ventilating fans are disposed on the two side portions in said trunk which are hidden by side portions of a rear bumper, said first and second ventilating fans being disposed in an intermediate portion of a duct means for communicating an interior of the vehicle with outside thereof to perform said ventilation.
- 16. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 3, wherein said first and second ventilating fans are disposed on the two side portions in said trunk which are hidden by side portions of a rear bumper, said first and second ventilating fans being disposed in an intermediate portion of a duct means for communicating an interior of the vehicle with outside thereof to perform said ventilation.
- 17. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 2, wherein said first and second ventilating fans each have a shutter means for preventing entry of outside air, said shutter means being automatically opened and closed by the ventilation.
- 18. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle according to claim 3, wherein said first and second ventilating fans each have a shutter means for preventing entry of outside air, said shutter means being automatically opened and closed by the ventilation.
- 19. A preliminary ventilating device for a vehicle having a solar battery, a ventilating fan driven by a fan motor and a switch means that turns on or turns off the fan motor, the device comprising:
- (a) detecting means for detecting the operation of the fan motor; and
- (b) fan motor control means for turning off the switch means when the non-operation of the fan motor is detected by the detecting means and for turning on the switch means after the elapse of a predetermined time so that the fan motor starts to operate.
