Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle, and more particularly to an assembly structure of an air conditioning unit and a steering member for supporting a steering.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Inside an instrument panel of a vehicle, an air conditioning unit of an air conditioner is provided along a dash panel of the vehicle body, and a defroster blowing nozzle along a front window glass and a front side of an instrument panel are provided. Ventilation ducts to ventilation outlets and other outlets extend.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 12, a casing of an air conditioning unit 80 is composed of a main case 82 that houses a cooler unit and a heater unit therein, and a blower case 89 that houses a blower fan.
The main case 82 is disposed substantially at the center in the vehicle width direction,
The blower case 89 is arranged and integrated with the passenger seat side. In the instrument panel, a steering member 90 further provided with a steering support 51 for supporting steering extends in the vehicle width direction, and both ends thereof are connected to the vehicle body side wall by mounting brackets 49 and 50.

[0004] A stay 93 extending downward from the center of the steering member 90 is welded, and the lower end thereof is fixed to the vehicle body floor. Accordingly, the left and right ends of the steering member 90 and the central portion via the stay 93 are coupled to the vehicle body, and the steering member 90 supports a steering (not shown) with high support rigidity. The steering member 90 also functions as a reinforcing member for the vehicle body against external force from the side.

[0005] Normally, the stay 93 is formed with an audio mounting portion 94 that protrudes into the room, and the audio device 102 is positioned between the audio mounting portions and mounted. The main case 82 has a defroster duct inside, a front vent duct for supplying ventilation air to the front seat, a rear vent duct for supplying air conditioning for the rear seat, and the like. An opening portion 16, an opening portion 84 of a front vent duct is provided on the rear side, that is, on the indoor side, and an opening portion 86 of a rear vent duct is provided on a lower rear portion.

FIG. 13 shows a cross section of the instrument panel at the center of the vehicle width. In the instrument panel 100, the defroster outlet nozzle 18 of the main case 82 is connected to the defroster outlet nozzle 18, and the opening 84 of the front vent duct is connected to the ventilation duct 85 to the ventilation outlet. The air duct connected to the opening of the rear vent duct is omitted. In the figure, reference numeral 101 denotes an air conditioning control operation unit.

[0007]

Since the main case 82 includes a front vent duct and a rear vent duct and requires a predetermined capacity, there is a limit in reducing its size, particularly, its size in the front-rear direction. On the other hand, the mounting position of the steering member 90 on the vehicle body side wall at both ends is also limited due to the restrictions on the vehicle body structure. Therefore, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG.
When the central portion of the zero interferes with the main case 82 of the air conditioning unit, the central portion 90a is bent and offset to escape the main case.

As a result, even if an attempt is made to expand the cabin space under the given vehicle body structure, the central portion 90a of the steering member is offset toward the passenger compartment and is coupled to the offset portion. Since the audio device 102 is attached to the extending audio attachment portion 94, it is difficult to retreat the instrument panel 100 forward. If the instrument panel 100 is forcibly retracted forward while the position of the dash panel 2 is fixed, the size of the main case 82 must be reduced, and the required passage area of each duct is reduced. There is a problem that the air-conditioning performance cannot be ensured because the air conditioner cannot be secured.

Further, when the steering member 90 is offset at the central portion 90a, for example, the strength against an external force from the side is reduced, and the function as a reinforcing member in the width direction becomes insufficient. Furthermore, in the conventional structure, since the stay 93 is welded to the steering member 90, there has been a problem that dimensional accuracy is reduced due to thermal distortion during welding.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention eliminates the need to offset the steering member, allows the instrument panel to be moved forward without sacrificing the size of the case of the air conditioning unit, and reduces the indoor space. An object of the present invention is to provide an expandable structure of an air conditioner and a steering member.

[0011]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, at least a part of a casing of an air conditioning unit of an air conditioner mounted on a vehicle is formed of a metal material or a non-metal reinforced material. A partial case having two side walls extending in the vehicle body longitudinal direction and a lateral wall connecting the side walls and extending in the width direction;
A stay portion extending downward is formed in the partial case, a steering member insertion portion extending outward in the vehicle width direction is formed on the side wall, and one end of the steering member is inserted into and connected to the steering member insertion portion. The steering member is fixed to the vehicle body integrally with the air conditioning unit by attaching the other end to the vehicle body side wall and mounting the stay portion to the vehicle body floor.

In particular, the partial case forms a front vent duct and a rear vent duct to form a rear structure of the casing. The lateral wall forms a rear wall of the casing, and an opening of the front vent duct is formed at an upper portion thereof. It is preferable that an opening of the rear vent duct is provided at a lower portion.

Thus, the steering member is fixed at one end to the side wall of the vehicle body, and the other end is fixed to the vehicle body floor at the stay portion via a partial case made of a metal material or a non-metal reinforced material. While being supported, the steering member is not offset to the indoor side. Therefore, the rear space of the casing of the air conditioner has a margin, and the instrument panel can be moved forward to expand the indoor space.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the partial case further has a front extension portion in which a defroster duct is formed in front of the front vent duct to form an upper structure of a casing, and a vehicle body is provided at a front end of the front extension portion. It is assumed that a mounting portion to the front structure is provided. Since the front end of the partial case to which the steering member is coupled is also fixed to the vehicle body front structure, the support rigidity of the steering member is further improved.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a vehicle body mounting stay extending forward is mounted on a front wall of a front vent duct of a partial case, and a mounting portion to a vehicle body front structure is provided at a front end of the vehicle body mounting stay. It was assumed. This also allows the partial case to which the steering member is coupled to be fixed to the vehicle body front structure via the vehicle body mounting stay, so that the rigidity of the support of the steering member is further improved.

Further, the steering member insertion portions are formed on both side walls of the partial case, and the steering members can be inserted and coupled to the respective steering member insertion portions. Since the left and right steering members extend over the entire width of the vehicle body via the partial case, the strength against external force from the side direction is improved.

[0017]

The rear case 30 further includes side walls 33, 34.
Is provided below the opening 26 of the rear vent duct. A notch 37 is formed at the lower end of the stay portion 35 as a vehicle mounting portion. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, steering member insertion portions 39 and 40 are integrally formed on left and right side walls 33 and 34 at an upper portion of the rear case 30. The steering member insertion portions 39 and 40 extend laterally from the side walls 33 and 34, and are formed in a tubular shape corresponding to the cross section of the steering members 47 and 48 described later, and their left and right axes are substantially aligned. Each of the steering member insertion portions 39 and 40 has a slit (not shown) extending in the axial direction at an end thereof, and a fastening bracket 4 on both sides in the circumferential direction with the slit interposed therebetween.
3, 44 are formed.

Steering members 47 and 48 having a circular cross section made of extruded material are inserted into left and right steering member insertion portions 39 and 40 of the rear case 30, respectively.
Both brackets 43 and 44 of the steering member insertion portions 39 and 40 are fixed by tightening bolts and nuts 45. At the ends of the steering members 47 and 48 on the opposite side to the insertion side, mounting brackets 4 for attaching to the vehicle body side walls are provided.

48 and the aluminum die-cast rear case 30 form a linear rigid member extending in the width direction of the vehicle body, and secure support rigidity of the steering attached to the steering support 51 can be obtained. Although not shown, the front portion of the main case 12 is attached to a dash panel of the vehicle body via a bracket or the like. The front part of the blower case 19 is also attached to the dash panel, and the rear part is attached to the steering member 47 as necessary.

In this embodiment, the front vent duct 20 and the rear vent duct 25 are formed between the rear surface 13 of the main case 12 and the rear case 30, so that the front and rear directions of the main case 12 are correspondingly increased. Can be reduced in size. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the position of the rear wall 31 of the rear case 30 is the same as the position of the rear surface of the main case (82) in the conventional example. Further, instead of the stay extending from the steering member which is offset to the indoor side in the related art, the stay 33 is formed by extending the side walls 33 and 34 of the rear case 39, so that the rear from the rear wall 31 of the rear case remains as a free space.

As a result, the air-conditioning control operation unit 101, the audio device 102, and the like can be moved forward to a position immediately near the rear wall 31 of the rear case 30, as shown in FIG.
The instrument panel 1 can be largely retreated forward from the conventional position indicated by the virtual line. In addition, since the left and right steering members 47, 48 extend straight through the aluminum die-cast rear case 30, the strength against external force from the side direction is also improved. Furthermore, since welding of the stay to the steering member is unnecessary, there is no decrease in dimensional accuracy due to welding heat distortion. In addition, the stay part 35 is two extending from both side walls 33 and 34 of the rear case 30, but may be any one depending on the situation.
