What is the installation method for a car air purifier?

The installation methods for a car air purifier are: 1. Cigarette lighter type: You can directly use a car adapter power cord or plug it into the cigarette lighter; 2. Rechargeable type: Remove the anti-slip film from the product and place it on a flat surface, connect the product to the car power source using the power cord, and touch the product's power switch to start working. The principle of a car air purifier is that the micro-fan inside the machine circulates the air in the car. The polluted air passes through the PM2.5 filter and activated carbon filter inside the machine to filter or absorb various pollutants. Then, the air is continuously ionized by the negative ion generator installed at the air outlet, producing a large number of negative ions that are blown out by the micro-fan, forming a negative ion airflow to achieve the purpose of cleaning and purifying the air.
Last time I just installed an air purifier in my new car, and found the simplest method is to utilize the cup holder position. Those compact purifiers can be directly inserted into the front cup holders—just make sure the base is securely fastened. Models with straps can be fixed behind the front seats, but remember to tighten the Velcro to prevent it from coming loose due to bumps. When connecting to power, it's recommended to prioritize using the cigarette lighter socket, which is much safer than tapping into the fuse box. Route the wires away from the accelerator and brake pedal areas, and use small cable clips to secure the wires along the side of the dashboard. After installation, don't forget to remove the filter packaging film, or all your efforts will be in vain! It's best to wipe the air intake weekly, as dust accumulation can affect the purification efficiency.
The most critical aspect is actually the safety of power connections. If it's a direct plug-in type for the cigarette lighter, it's fine if it momentarily loses power and restarts when starting the vehicle. However, if you're running concealed wiring to the fuse box, you must consult the vehicle manual to locate the constant power fuse position. When using a fuse tap, ensure it's wrapped with anti-vibration tape. I would pay special attention to keeping the wires away from the airbag module and routing them along the edges of the dashboard gaps whenever possible. After installation, test for half an hour and check if the power connectors feel hot to the touch. Many cases of spontaneous combustion are caused by poor contact and overheating of wiring, so this hidden risk must never be overlooked.
