That is, the first air conditioning duct 17 is formed by injection molding.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the rear end of the first air conditioning duct 17 is a rear face register 27. The conditioned air supplied by the air conditioner is blown out from the rear face register 27 into the vehicle interior through a second air conditioning duct 43 and a first air conditioning duct 17 which will be described later.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the pair of ribs 21 and 22 are formed on the inner surface 18 a exposed in the first air passage 17 a in the first wall portion 18, that is, on the inner surface 18 a of the first wall portion 18. Between them, the heat insulating material 29 is stuck via a double-sided tape. The heat insulating material 29 is used for enhancing the heat insulating effect of the first wall portion 18 and suppressing the occurrence of condensation on the first wall portion 18. The heat insulating material 29 is disposed on the inner surface 18a of the first wall portion 18 along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The heat insulating material 29 is arranged so that the front ends thereof are aligned with the front ends of the pair of ribs 21 and 22 (see FIG. 2).

  Examples of the material for the heat insulating material 29 include porous materials such as foamed resin materials, non-foamed resin materials, nonwoven fabrics, glass wool, and rock wool. In the present embodiment, a foamed resin material is used from the viewpoint of having suitable heat insulation performance. Examples of the foamed resin material include ester-based or ether-based polyurethane, crosslinked or non-crosslinked polyethylene, polychloroprene, styrene butadiene copolymer, polypropylene, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, polystyrene, and the like, either alone or in combination. Used. The foamed resin material preferably has a foaming ratio of 10 to 40 times from the viewpoint of improving heat insulation performance. The foamed resin material includes open-cell and closed-cell materials, and any of them may be used. Here, the open-cell foamed resin material has an advantage that part or all of the bubbles in the material are connected and has excellent heat insulation performance. Therefore, in this embodiment, the heat-insulating material 29 is made of open-cell foam resin material. It is preferable to form.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the same heat insulation as described above is applied to the inner surface 12b exposed in the first air passage 17a in the side wall 12a of the storage body 12 and the inner surface 41a exposed in the first air passage 17a in the protrusion 41. The material 30 is stuck via a double-sided tape. The heat insulating material 30 is arrange | positioned on the inner surface 12b, 41a of each of the side wall 12a and the protrusion 41 along the front-back direction of a vehicle. A folded portion 30 a is formed at the front end of the heat insulating material 30. The folded portion 30a is formed by extending the front end portion of the heat insulating material 30 from the inner surface 41a of the protruding portion 41 toward the outside of the first air passage 17a and folding back the outer end surface 41b of the protruding portion 41. ing. Thereby, the inner surface 41 a of the protrusion 41 is covered with the heat insulating material 30. And the edge 30c of the heat insulating material 30 is arrange | positioned on the outer surface 41b of the protrusion 41. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a second air conditioning duct 43 extending from the vehicle air conditioner is connected to the opening 17 b provided at the front end of the first air conditioning duct 17. The 2nd air conditioning duct 43 is shape | molded by blow molding, and has the 2nd air channel | path 43a inside. The second air conditioning duct 43 is inserted inside the opening 17b of the first air conditioning duct 17, and both the air conditioning ducts 17 and 43 are connected in this state. Thereby, the communication part R which connects the 1st air path 17a of the 1st air conditioning duct 17 and the 2nd air path 43a of the 2nd air conditioning duct 43 is formed. The “communication portion R” refers to a place where the second air conditioning duct 43 is inserted inside the opening 17b of the first air conditioning duct 17, that is, the first air passage 17a and the second air passage 43a. The overlapping part (the part enclosed with the dashed-two dotted line in FIG.3 and FIG.4) is said.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the communication portion R, the inner surface of the first air conditioning duct 17 and the outer surface of the second air conditioning duct 43 are in close contact via the heat insulating material 30. That is, in this embodiment, the heat insulating material 30 is used as a filling material. More specifically, in the communication portion R, the inner surface 18a of the first wall portion 18 and the outer surface of the second air conditioning duct 43 facing the first wall portion 18 are in close contact with each other via the front end portion 29b of the heat insulating material 29 as a filling material. ing. Further, the inner surface 41a of the protrusion 41 and the outer surface of the second air conditioning duct 43 opposite to the front surface 30b of the heat insulating material 30 as a filling material (the heat insulating material 30 located on the inner surface 41a of the protrusion 41). The front end portion 30b) is closely attached. Further, the space between the inner surface of the first air-conditioning duct 17 and the outer surface of the second air-conditioning duct 43 is sealed (sealed) by the filler.

  Thus, the front end part (location located in the communication part R) of the heat insulating material of the present embodiment mainly functions as an element that enhances the adhesion between the inner surface of the first air conditioning duct 17 and the outer surface of the second air conditioning duct 43. To do. On the other hand, locations other than the front end portion of the heat insulating material (locations other than the communication portion R) function mainly as enhancing the heat insulating effect of the first wall portion 18 (side panel 13) or the side wall 12a.

  Now, when the first air conditioning duct 17 and the second air conditioning duct 43 are connected when the console box 11 is assembled to the vehicle, the second air conditioning duct 43 is provided inside the opening 17b of the first air conditioning duct 17. insert. Here, in this embodiment, since the edge 30c of the heat insulating material 30 is disposed on the outer surface 41b of the protrusion 41, when the second air conditioning duct 43 is inserted into the opening 17b of the first air conditioning duct 17, There is no inconvenience that the end of the second air conditioning duct 43 is caught by the end edge 30c of the heat insulating material 30. Therefore, the second air conditioning duct 43 can be easily inserted into the opening 17b of the first air conditioning duct 17.

  Moreover, since this 2nd air conditioning duct 43 is inserted, pressing the edge part to the front-end part 30b (location located on the inner surface 41a of the protrusion 41) of the heat insulating material 30, a heat insulating material accompanies this insertion. The front end 30b of 30 is pulled inward of the first air passage 17a. However, in the present embodiment, the folded portion 30a of the heat insulating material 30 is locked to the protrusion 41, so that the state of the heat insulating material 30 attached on the inner surface 41a of the protrusion 41 is maintained. For this reason, when inserting the 2nd air conditioning duct 43 inside the opening part 17b of the 1st air conditioning duct 17, the malfunction that the heat insulating material 30 peels off from the inner surface 41a of the protrusion 41 does not arise.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the second air conditioning duct 43 is inserted inside the opening of the first air conditioning duct 17, the inner surface 18 a of the first wall 18 and the outer surface of the second air conditioning duct 43 are It adheres via the heat insulating material 29 (filling material). Moreover, the inner surface 41a of the protrusion 41 and the outer surface of the 2nd air conditioning duct 43 are closely_contact | adhered via the heat insulating material 30 (filling material).

  Here, the advantage in the case of connecting both ducts 17 and 43 by inserting the 2nd air conditioning duct 43 inside the opening part 17b of the 1st air conditioning duct 17 is demonstrated. Since the first air conditioning duct 17 of this embodiment is formed by injection molding, the molding accuracy of the inner surface shape and the molding accuracy of the outer surface shape are substantially equal, and both the inner shape size and the outer size size in the cross section are almost as desired. Is set. On the other hand, since the second air conditioning duct 43 of this embodiment is formed by blow molding, the molding accuracy of the outer surface shape is higher than the molding accuracy of the inner surface shape, and the outer size in the cross section is set almost as desired. Yes. In the present embodiment, in the first air conditioning duct 17 and the second air conditioning duct 43, the surfaces with high molding accuracy, that is, the inner surface of the first air conditioning duct 17 and the outer surface of the second air conditioning duct 43 are in close contact with each other. Both ducts 17 and 43 are connected. For this reason, a gap is not formed between the inner surface of the first air-conditioning duct 17 and the outer surface of the second air-conditioning duct 43, and a good contact state between these both surfaces is ensured. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, there is almost no inconvenience that the second air conditioning duct 43 rattles due to, for example, vibration during traveling of the vehicle.

  Air-conditioned air supplied from the air conditioner flows through the second air-conditioning duct 43 and the first air-conditioning duct 17 and then blows out from the rear face register 27 to the vehicle interior (rear seat side). At this time, in the console box 11, a heat insulating material is attached to each of the inner surface 18 a of the side panel 13 (first wall portion 18) and the inner surface 12 b of the side wall 12 a of the storage body 12. Thereby, since the heat insulation effect of the side panel 13 (design part) and the side wall 12a of the storage body 12 is enhanced, the temperature difference between the inside (air passage 17a) and the outside (vehicle interior) of the first air conditioning duct 17 is large. Even in this case, the occurrence of condensation on the surface of the side panel 13 and the inside of the storage body 12 is suppressed. In addition, both surfaces are sealed with a filling material (heat insulating materials 29, 30) provided between the inner surface of the first air conditioning duct 17 and the outer surface of the second air conditioning duct 43. For this reason, leakage of conditioned air from between both surfaces is suppressed.

  And in this embodiment, a part (front edge part) of the heat insulating materials 29 and 30 is each arrange | positioned in the said communication part R, and a part of this heat insulating materials 29 and 30 functions as the said padding material. That is, in the present embodiment, the interstitial material is disposed at a predetermined location in the process of attaching the heat insulating material to the inner surface (for example, the inner surface 18a of the first wall portion 18) of the location where dew condensation is to be suppressed. Will be. In other words, it is possible to include two operations, an operation of attaching the heat insulating material 29 and an operation of attaching the filling material. Therefore, according to this embodiment, compared with the structure which arrange | positions a padding material and a heat insulating material separately on the inner surface 18a of the 1st wall part 18, the process of those arrangement | positioning work reduces. Therefore, the arrangement | positioning operation | work of a heat insulating material and a filling material becomes easy.

The effects exhibited by the above embodiment will be described below.
In the present embodiment, both air conditioning ducts 17 and 43 are connected in a state where the second air conditioning duct 43 is inserted inside the opening 17b of the first air conditioning duct 17. In this state, the surfaces having high molding accuracy in the first air conditioning duct 17 and the second air conditioning duct 43, that is, the inner surface of the first air conditioning duct 17 and the outer surface of the second air conditioning duct 43 are in close contact with each other through the filling material. ing. For this reason, a gap is not formed between the inner surface of the first air conditioning duct 17 and the outer surface of the second air conditioning duct 43, and rattling of the second air conditioning duct 43 with respect to the first air conditioning duct 17 is suitably suppressed. can do.

-Since the space between the inner surface of the first air-conditioning duct 17 and the outer surface of the second air-conditioning duct 43 is sealed with the filling material, leakage of conditioned air from between the two can be suitably suppressed.
A heat insulating material is stuck on the inner surface 18 a of the first wall 18 and the inner surface 12 b of the side wall 12 a of the storage body 12. For this reason, the heat insulation effect of the side panel 13 (design part) and the side wall 12a of the storage body 12 is enhanced. Therefore, even when the temperature difference between the inside (first air passage 17a) of the first air conditioning duct 17 and the outside (vehicle interior) is large, the occurrence of condensation on the surface of the side panel 13 and the inside of the storage body 12 is suppressed. Is done.

  -In this embodiment, a part (front end part) of heat insulating material is utilized as a filling material. For this reason, for example, compared to the configuration in which the intercalation material and the heat insulating material are separately disposed on the inner surface 18a of the first wall portion 18, the steps of the disposition work are reduced, and consequently the disposition of the intercalation material and the heat insulating material. It is possible to facilitate and speed up the installation work.

A folded portion 30 a is formed at the front end portion of the heat insulating material 30. For this reason, when the second air conditioning duct 43 is inserted into the opening of the first air conditioning duct 17, the folded portion 30 a of the heat insulating material 30 is locked to the projecting portion 41, whereby the inner surface 41 a of the projecting portion 41. The attached state of the heat insulating material 30 is maintained. For this reason, when inserting the 2nd air conditioning duct 43 in the opening part of the 1st air conditioning duct 17, the malfunction that the heat insulating material 30 peels off from the inner surface 41a of the protrusion 41 can be avoided.

Further, in this case, it is preferable that the heat insulating material 30 is stuck on the inner surface 41 a so that the edge 30 c thereof is aligned with the front end of the protrusion 41. That is, when the edge 30c of the heat insulating material 30 and the front end of the protrusion 41 are aligned, when the second air conditioning duct 43 is inserted inside the opening 17b of the first air conditioning duct 17, the heat insulating material 30 is peeled off. The trouble can be avoided.
