Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner capable of performing control in such a way that, if a person having a cold is included in occupants riding a vehicle, virus or the like of the person having a cold is prevented from diffusing near other occupants.SOLUTION: The air conditioner detects body temperature of an occupant with a temperature sensor 12, and when the body temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the air conditioner determines that the occupant has a cold. When the person having a cold is seated on a seat in the vehicle, the air conditioner controls an external air introduction mode or an internal air circulation mode when controlling air conditioning, and controls a blowing port and an air blow volume for each seat in accordance with the seat on which the person having a cold is seated. When a driver has a cold, a blowing port at the foot of the driver seat is used while a ventilator in a passenger seat and a ventilator in a rear seat are used as blowing ports. Moreover, an air volume blown out from the blowing port at the foot of the driver seat is decreased. Consequently, an air stream passing near the driver does not flow toward other seat sides but is introduced into an internal air suction port, thereby decreasing the probability of infection of other occupants caused by germs, virus or the like of the person having a cold.

Shows airflow. Hereinafter, the driver mode, the passenger seat mode, and the rear seat mode will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Driver mode]
When the driver mode is set, the inside air circulation mode is set by the operation of the outside air / inside air switching actuator 19 as shown in FIG. Also, the air vent to the driver's seat is the foot that is the foot (foot), the air vent in the passenger seat is the vent (ventilator) that is the middle section, and the air vent in the rear seat is vent or bi-level (vent and foot) To do. Further, the amount of air blown from the foot of the driver's seat is made smaller than the amount of air blown from the other air outlets.

  As a result, as shown by reference sign a1 in FIG. 2, the air blown out from the air vent (foot) provided below the driver's seat flows from the vicinity of the driver's feet toward the vicinity of the passenger's feet and below the passenger seat. It will be introduced into the air conditioner from the provided indoor air inlet. And since it is considered as inside air circulation, the air introduced from the inside air suction port is sterilized and inactivated by passing through an antibacterial filter (not shown) in the air conditioner. To be blown.

  In addition, as shown by reference numerals b1 and b2 in FIG. 2, the air blown out from the vent, which is a ventilation port provided in the middle part of the passenger seat, passes through the vicinity of the passenger in the passenger seat and then enters the rear seat side of the vehicle. Be blown. Further, as shown by reference numerals b3 and b4 in FIG. 2, the air blown out from a vent which is a blower opening provided in the middle section of the rear seat is blown to the vicinity of the passenger seated in the rear seat. Note that the rear seat air outlet may be bi-level.

  And as above-mentioned, since the air blown out from the foot of a driver's seat has less air volume than the air blown out from another blower opening, the airflow near the driver flows toward the direction of other crew members The driver's virus or the like can be prevented from flowing toward other passengers.

[Passenger seat mode]
When the passenger seat mode is set, the inside air circulation mode is set by the operation of the outside air / inside air switching actuator 19 as shown in FIG. Further, the air vent of the driver seat is used as a vent, the air vent of the passenger seat is used as a vent or a foot, and the air outlet of the rear seat is used as a vent or a bilevel. Further, the amount of air blown out from the passenger seat vent is made smaller than the amount of air blown out from the other air outlets.

  As a result, as shown by reference signs b11, a11 and reference signs b12, a12 in FIG. 3, the air blown out from the vent, which is an air outlet provided in the middle part of the passenger seat, passes through the vicinity of the passenger in the passenger seat, It flows downward and is introduced into the air conditioner from the inside air inlet provided near the feet of the passenger seat. Since the inside air circulation mode is set, the air introduced from the inside air suction port is sterilized and inactivated by an antibacterial filter or the like, and then blown into the vehicle through one of the air blowing ports.

Furthermore, as shown by reference numerals b15 and b16 in FIG. 3, the air blown out from the vent which is a blower opening provided in the middle portion of the rear seat is blown to the vicinity of the occupant seated in the rear seat. Note that the rear seat air outlet may be bi-level.

  And as mentioned above, since the air blown out from the vent of the passenger seat has a smaller amount of air than the air blown out from the other air outlets, the air passing through the vicinity of the passenger in the passenger seat is the direction of the other passengers. There is no airflow flowing toward the vehicle, and it is possible to prevent the passenger's passenger's virus and the like from flowing toward the other passengers.

[Rear seat mode]
When the rear seat mode is set, the outside air introduction mode is set by the operation of the outside air / inside air switching actuator 19 as shown in FIG. Also, the air vent of the driver seat is vented, the air vent of the passenger seat is vented, and the air vent of the rear seat is foot or bi-level. Further, the amount of air blown from the rear seat vent (foot or bi-level) is made smaller than the amount of air blown from the other vents.

  As a result, as shown by reference numerals b21 and b22 in FIG. 4, the air blown out from the vent, which is a ventilation port provided in the middle part of the passenger seat, passes through the vicinity of the passenger in the passenger seat and then toward the rear seat. Flowing. Further, as shown by reference numerals b23 and b24 in FIG. 4, the air blown out from the vent, which is a ventilation port provided in the middle part of the driver's seat, flows in the direction of the rear seat after passing through the vicinity of the passenger in the driver's seat. .

  Furthermore, as shown by reference numerals b25 and a21 and reference numerals b26 and a22 in FIG. 4, the air blown out from the vent, which is a blower opening provided in the middle section of the rear seat, passes near the passenger seated in the rear seat. Afterwards, it flows backward. At this time, since the outside air introduction mode is set, the air that flows rearward (air that has passed through the vicinity of the occupant in the rear seat) is discharged to the outside of the vehicle from the grill provided at the rear of the passenger compartment. . Note that the rear seat air outlet may be bi-level.

  As described above, since the air blown out from the vent in the rear seat has a smaller amount of air than the air blown out from the other air outlets, the air passing through the vicinity of the passenger in the rear seat is in the direction of the other passengers. There is no airflow flowing toward the vehicle, and it is possible to prevent the passenger's passenger's virus and the like from flowing toward the other passengers.

  Thus, in the air conditioner according to the present embodiment, when the seat on which the affected person is seated is specified by the temperature sensor 12, the droplet sensor 13, or the operation switch SW1, the air that has passed near the affected person is The flow of air and the amount of air blown from the air outlets of each seat are controlled so as not to pass near other passengers. Therefore, when a cold person gets on, the probability that other passengers will be infected by the virus or the like of the cold person can be extremely reduced, and the spread of infection can be prevented.
