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.

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.

Abstract: A vehicular air conditioner having an air conditioner case including an air mix area, where a defroster opening, a front seat vent opening, a foot opening, and a back seat vent opening are located on the air conditioner case and configured to open and close the air mix area. A defroster door is configured to open and close the defroster opening. A vent foot switching door is configured to open and close the foot opening and the front seat vent opening selectively. A foot door is configured to open and close the foot opening. A back seat vent door is configured to open and close the back set vent opening. The back seat vent opening is positioned in a vicinity of the foot opening and the back seat vent door and the foot door are downstream from the vent foot switching door.

Abstract: An air conditioner for an automobile includes a foot door (11) and a mixing area (20). The foot door (11) has a partition wall (11b), and is movable at least between an advanced position (11A) where the partition wall (11b) reaches a state of blocking an air flow from a merging area J to the downstream side in an air passage, and a retreated position (11B) where the partition wall (11b) retreats from the advanced position (11A) in the air passage. The foot door (11) has a partition wall (11b), and is movable at least between an advanced position (11A) where the partition wall (11b) reaches a state of blocking the air flowing from the merging area J to the downstream side in the air passage; and a retreated position (11B) where the partition wall (11b) retreats from the advanced position (11A).
