Car Roof Automatic HVAC Apparatus

Abstract

A car roof automatic HVAC apparatus disposed within a roof of an automobile to maintain a more comfortable temperature inside of the automobile for a driver to return to, and to act as a safety mechanism to prevent a child or pet left inside the automobile from dying of excessive heat or cold. A plurality of vents has a plurality of fans disposed within, and a heater allows the fans to blow hot air when needed. A first CPU, the heater, a light, the plurality of vents, and the plurality of fans are powered by a rechargeable battery or an alternate power source. A remote control can be used to operate the car roof automatic HVAC apparatus. An automobile interface unit disposed within the automobile can detect when the vehicle has been turned off for a programmed amount of time to automatically begin ventilation or heating.

Claims

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] With reference now to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1 through 4 thereof, an example of the instant car roof automatic HVAC apparatus employing the principles and concepts of the present car roof automatic HVAC apparatus and generally designated by the reference number 10 will be described.

[0011] Referring to FIGS. 1 through 4 the present car roof automatic HVAC apparatus 10 is illustrated. The car roof automatic HVAC apparatus 10 includes a rectangular unit body 12 having a driver side 13 and a passenger side 15 disposed within a roof 14 of an automobile 16. The unit body 12 has a thickness 18 equal to a second thickness 20 of the roof 14, and thus does not interfere with the aesthetic of an exterior 22 of the automobile. A plurality of vents 24 is disposed within the unit body 12. In one embodiment of the invention, the plurality of vents has a first open position 26 and a second closed position. A light 28 is centrally disposed on the plurality of vents 24. A plurality of fans 30 is disposed within the vents, wherein each of the plurality of fans has a perimeter 32. A heater 34 disposed within the unit body has a heater coil 36 disposed on the perimeter 32 of each of the plurality of fans. A first CPU 38 is disposed within the unit body. A rechargeable battery 40 disposed within the driver side 13 of the unit body is in operational communication with the first CPU 38, the heater 34, the light 28, the plurality of vents 26, and the plurality of fans 30. An alternate power source 42 is disposed within the unit body, wherein the alternate power source is in operational communication with each of the rechargeable battery, the first CPU, the heater, the light, the plurality of vents, and the plurality of fans. A receiver chip 44 is also disposed within the unit body, wherein the receiver chip is in operational communication with the first CPU 38. A remote control 46 having a battery 48, a second CPU 50, a first transmitter 52, and a plurality of control buttons 54 can be used to operate the car roof automatic HVAC apparatus 10. An automobile interface unit 56 disposed within the automobile 16 has a timer 58, a third CPU 60, and a second transmitter 62, wherein each of the timer and the second transmitter is in operational communication with the third CPU. The third CPU is in operational communication with an ignition switch 64 of the automobile.
