  • Publication number: 20230016203
    Abstract: A vehicle air-conditioning device comprises: a case inside of which a passage for air is formed, the case having an outside-air introducing port and an air discharge port, the outside-air introducing port opening on the vehicle front side and being capable of introducing air from outside a vehicle (the outside air), and the air discharge port being capable of discharging the introduced air to air the front side; a filter portion inside of which the air can pass through, the filter portion being arranged on the upstream side of the air discharge port; and an air blower capable of sucking the air introduced into the passage, the air blower being arranged on the downstream side of the filter portion. The passage is formed to be bent such that the angle ? between an opening face of the outside-air introducing port and an upstream surface of the filter portion is an obtuse angle.

  • Patent number: 8511371
    Abstract: An air conditioner for an automobile includes a foot door (11) and a mixing area. The foot door has a partition wall, and is movable at least between an advanced position where the partition wall reaches a state of blocking an air flow from a merging area to the downstream side in an air passage, and a retreated position where the partition wall retreats from the advanced position in the air passage. The mixing area is provided in the air passage while the partition wall is located in the advanced position, and is designed to cause the air flowing from a cold air passage and the air flowing from a hot air passage into the merging area to mix up more by using the partition wall to block the air flowing from the merging area to the downstream side. Thus, the air conditioner is designed to cause the air to flow into the discharge passage systems via the mixing area.

  • Patent number: 8403735
    Abstract: An automotive air conditioner includes an air-conditioning case in which air passageways having a cold air path via an evaporator, a warm air path via a heater core, and a plurality of discharge path systems communicating with outlets, respectively, are formed. An air mix door distributes cold air and warm air by an opening degree to each of the discharge path systems via a junction region of the cold air and the warm air, and a rotary door having a cross wall is rotatably disposed in the junction region of the cold air and the warm air and blocks air flow from the junction region to the downstream side by the cross wall in an advanced position. The rotary door and the air mix door include an overlap layout which uses a door space inside the cross wall of the rotary door in the advanced position as an opening and closing operation space of the air mix door.
