  • Patent number: 11511594
    Abstract: In an air conditioning case, a blower sucks air flowing out from first and second upstream side ventilation paths from one side in an axial direction of a fan axis by rotation of a blower fan and allows the sucked air to flow to first and second downstream side ventilation paths. An upstream side guide member is provided on one side in the axial direction with respect to the blower fan and guides the air to the blower fan. Further, the upstream side guide member has a twisted shape and guides the air to the blower fan along the twisted shape.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11407271
    Abstract: An air-conditioning unit for a vehicle includes an air conditioning case, a blower, and a rectifying mechanism. The blower has a blower fan rotating around a fan axis and arranged in an in-case passage of the air conditioning case, and blows out air drawn from one side in an axial direction of the fan axis by rotation of the blower fan. The rectifying mechanism is arranged downstream of the blower fan in the in-case passage, and the air passes through the rectifying mechanism. The blower fan is arranged so that the other side of the fan axis that is opposite to the one side extends toward a downstream side of the in-case passage. The rectifying mechanism suppresses a swirling flow generated by the rotation of the blower fan in the air blown out from the blower fan as compared with the blown-out air prior to flowing into the rectifying mechanism.
