- a transverse axis T defined as being the axis perpendicular to both the longitudinal axis L and the transverse axis T.
- FIGS 1 and 2 illustrate a housing 30 according to the present invention.
- the housing is defined by a set of walls 31, here four in number, arranged so as to define an internal volume 32, or internal space.
- the housing 30 here corresponds to a rectangular parallelepiped with four adjoining walls 31 and the other two opposite faces 33 being empty or having a grid 34.
- the housing 30 comprises therefore four walls 31 which define an internal volume 32, or a cavity, the housing further comprises a first air inlet 35 for letting in a first air flow FR within the housing 30 and an air outlet 36 for letting out an air flow FS from the housing 30.
- the housing 30 therefore comprises a channel 42 for the flow of the first air flow FR from the first air inlet 35 to the air outlet 36.
- the housing 30 further comprises a chamber 37, delimited by at least one partition 38, arranged inside the housing 30 within the internal volume 32.
- the housing 30 further comprises a second air inlet 39 for direct admission of a second air flow FE into the chamber 37.
- the channel 42 corresponds to the internal volume 32 of the housing 30 located outside the chamber 37, in other words, the channel 42 is delimited by the walls 31 of the housing 30 and by said partition 38 of the chamber 37.
- the chamber 37 has at least one surface merged with a wall 31 of the housing 30, the second air inlet 39 being arranged on this surface.
- the housing 30 according to the invention is arranged so that the first air inlet 35, the chamber 37 and the air outlet 36 are fluidly connected.
- the chamber 37 has an opening 40 arranged so as to allow the second air flow FE to flow out of the chamber 37 and to mix with the first air flow FR within the internal volume 32 and of the channel 42.
- the first flow of air FR enters the housing through the air inlet 35 and flows through the housing 30 towards the air outlet 36, the second air flow FE penetrates directly inside the chamber 37 then flows through the opening 40 within the housing 32 in the channel 42.
- the chamber 37 opens into the channel 42 so as to allow the second flow of air FE to mix with the first flow of air FR.
- the housing 30 includes a channel 42 for the flow of the first and second air flows FE, FR and extends from the first air inlet 35 to the outlet 36 is delimited by the walls 31 of the housing 30 and said at least one partition 38 of the chamber 37.
- the first air flow FR can for example come from the passenger compartment of the vehicle while the second air flow FE can for example come from a ventilation, heating and / or air conditioning system (not shown) located upstream of the housing.
- the temperature of the second treated air flow FE can vary, in particular between hot, cold and temperate, as well as the speed of the second FE air flow treated by varying the fan speed of the ventilation, heating and / or air conditioning system.
- the housing 30 allows the air in the passenger compartment 5 to mix with treated air coming from the ventilation, heating and / or air conditioning system, which ensures better mixing of the air from the passenger compartment thus improving user comfort, by ensuring a renewal of the air in the passenger compartment and more quickly reaching a set thermal comfort. Indeed, by increasing the amount of air circulated, the thermal mixtures between the different air flows are faster.
- the chamber 37 includes a blade 46 extending within its internal space.
- This blading 46 corresponds to an internal partition, in other words, a rib, gutter, protuberance or protuberance, which partly extends inside the chamber 37.
- the blading 46 has a shape of a quarter of a circle and serves deflecting the path of the second FE air flow, thereby inducing turbulence.
- the second air flow FE enters through the second air inlet 39 within the chamber 37 in the upper part 48 of the chamber 37 located above the airfoil 46.
- the said air flow FE is then directed towards the opening 40 in order to be able to open into the channel 42, the opening being arranged in the lower part 49 of the chamber situated below the airfoil 46.
- the chamber 37 opens into the channel 42 by a narrowing 51.
- the chamber 37 comprises an opening 40 allowing the second air flow FE to flow from the chamber 37 into the channel 42.
- This opening 40 extending all along the partition 38, comprises a narrowing 51 of the passage section so as to create a pressure difference between the interior of the chamber 37 and the channel 42, at the outside the chamber 37.
- the second air flow FE located inside the chamber 37 is therefore sucked in towards the narrowing 51 then is propelled inside the channel 42 where it is mixed with the first FR air flow, and flows up to the air outlet 36.
- the narrowing 51 causes a reduction in the cross-section of the passage accelerating and increasing the flow rate of the second air flow FE treated from the heating, ventilation and / or air conditioning system which then generates a vacuum capable of sucking in the first air flow from the passenger compartment via the first air inlet 35.
- the chamber 37 here has an oblong section.
- the chamber 37 preferably has a section of a shape which is longer than it is wide and whose angles are rounded.
- the transverse plane section of the chamber 37 is oblong.
- This shape in combination with the exit angle of the second air flow FE at the level of the narrowing 51, makes it possible in particular to induce a better Coandâ effect, where the partition 38 of the chamber 37 corresponds to a Coandâ surface where the air flow FE and FR are mutually deflected along this partition 38, in particular at the level of the flat surface and the convex surface (rounded edge), thus improving their mixing.
- the box 30 comprises a duct 52 connected to the second air inlet 39 for the direct admission of the second air flow FE inside the chamber 37.
- the duct 52 is for example connected to the heating, ventilation and / or air conditioning system of the vehicle, thus the second flow of air FE coming from the heating, ventilation, and / or air conditioning system leads directly into the chamber 37.
- the conduit 52 comprises bellows 54 as illustrated in FIG. 5.
- the housing 30 is designed to be mounted in a door 4.
- the door will be brought to be opened and closed, so that by arranging a bellows 54, that is to say an element formed of a cavity of flexible material capable of expanding in order to fill with air by suction and to empty by compression producing a directed air jet , we ensure good sealing and avoid losses of air flow.

- the housing 30 can also be held only by the two trim panels 21, 23.
- the trim panels 21, 23 and the door body 22, are at least partially connected by walls extending transversely with respect to these faces. More particularly, a first transverse wall defining the hinge allowing the mobility of the door 2 relative to the vehicle is defined, and a second transverse wall comprising a locking system for the door 2. It is then understood that the first transverse wall is located at the front of the vehicle compared to the second transverse wall which is located further back of the vehicle, according to the benchmark defined above.

- the principle of the suction of a flow by the flow of another flow is called flow induction, the first flow of air FR coming from the passenger compartment then forming a flow induced by a depression of the second flow of air FE from the heating, ventilation and / or air conditioning system in the housing 30.
- the second air flow FE and the first air flow FR mixed then form the air flow FS which is emitted by the or the outlet openings 6,7.
- the hollow body 10 can be equipped with a mixing channel arranged for collect these two flows downstream of the air inlet mouth 8 and guide them to the outlet mouths 6, 7, with, for example, one or more flow disrupters arranged in this mixing channel in order to optimize the mixing of the second air flow FE with the first air flow FR within the hollow body 10.
- the air inlet mouth 8 is configured in terms of size, arrangement, or physical characteristics such that the second flow of air FE entering the channel 42 of the housing cannot exit through the mouth of air inlet 8.
- the speed of the second air flow FE entering the channel 42 can also help prevent it from leaving through the air inlet mouth 8.
- each air inlet opening 8 is located in a lower part of the door 2.
- each air inlet opening 8 is located closer to the floor than of the motor vehicle roof.
- the air intake opening (s) 8 are located closer to the underside of the door 2, or even under the armrests 63, than is the case 30.
- the air intake vents 8 are arranged below the housing 30 along the vertical axis V.
- the air inlet mouth 8 here corresponds to a porous wall capable of allowing a flow of air from the passenger compartment to enter the hollow body 10 present in the door 4.
- the first air flow FR penetrates within the housing 30, possibly by crossing the support 61, by the first air inlet 35.
- case 30 and / or the door 4 comprise the first flap 64 and / or the second flap 72 and / or the third flap 74 mobile and / or the fourth flap 78 mobile and / or the fifth movable flap 86.
