ところで、空調用の調温気を供給するエアコンダクトと、曇り止め用の調温気を供給するデフロスタダクトとを共通のアウトレット部材に接続し、アウトレット部材の第1吹き出し口から空調用の調温気を乗員に向けて後方に吹き出すとともに、アウトレット部材の第2吹き出し口から曇り止め用の調温気をドアガラスに向けて車幅方向外側に吹き出す場合がある。   By the way, an air-conditioning duct for supplying temperature-controlled air for air conditioning and a defroster duct for supplying temperature-controlling air for anti-fogging are connected to a common outlet member, and the air-conditioning temperature is controlled from the first outlet of the outlet member. In some cases, air is blown rearward toward the passenger, and temperature control air for preventing fogging is blown outward from the second outlet of the outlet member toward the door glass in the vehicle width direction.

このような場合に、アウトレット部材の第1吹き出し口は後方に向けて調温気を案内するのに対し、アウトレット部材の第2吹き出し口は車幅方向外側に向けて調温気を案内するため、アウトレット部材を金型成形して前後方向に型抜きしようとしても、車幅方向外側に傾斜した第2吹き出し口が障害となってしまい、複雑な構造の金型が必要になってコストが上昇する問題がある。   In such a case, the first outlet of the outlet member guides the temperature-controlled air toward the rear, whereas the second outlet of the outlet member guides the temperature-controlled air toward the outside in the vehicle width direction. Even when trying to mold the outlet member in the front-rear direction, the second outlet that is inclined outward in the vehicle width direction becomes an obstacle, requiring a mold with a complicated structure and increasing the cost. There is a problem to do.

本発明は前述の事情に鑑みてなされたもので、吹き出し方向が異なる第1吹き出し口および第2吹き出し口を備えるアウトレット部材の製造コストを削減することを目的とする。   This invention is made | formed in view of the above-mentioned situation, and it aims at reducing the manufacturing cost of an outlet member provided with the 1st blowing outlet and the 2nd blowing outlet from which a blowing direction differs.

上記目的を達成するために、請求項1に記載された発明によれば、車室の空調用の調温気を後方に向けて案内するエアコンダクトと、サイドガラスの曇り止め用の調温気を後方に向けて案内するデフロスタダクトと、インパネカバーに取り付けられたアウトレット部材とを備え、前記アウトレット部材は、前記エアコンダクトからの調温気を後方に向けて吹き出す第1吹き出し口と、前記デフロスタダクトからの調温気を車幅方向外側に向けて吹き出す第2吹き出し口とを備える車両用空調装置であって、前記エアコンダクトの第1出口開口と前記アウトレット部材の第1吹き出し口とを直接接続するとともに、前記デフロスタダクトの第2出口開口と前記アウトレット部材の第2吹き出し口とを前記インパネカバーに形成した車幅方向に傾斜する連結ダクト部を介して接続したことを特徴とする車両用空調装置が提案される。   In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, an air conditioning duct that guides the temperature-controlled air for air conditioning in the passenger compartment to the rear, and temperature-controlled air for preventing fogging of the side glass are provided. A defroster duct that guides backward; and an outlet member attached to an instrument panel cover, wherein the outlet member blows out the temperature-controlled air from the air-conditioner duct toward the rear; and the defroster duct And a second air outlet for blowing out the temperature-controlled air from the outside toward the outside in the vehicle width direction, wherein the first outlet opening of the air conditioner duct and the first outlet of the outlet member are directly connected In addition, the second outlet opening of the defroster duct and the second outlet of the outlet member are inclined in the vehicle width direction formed in the instrument panel cover. Air conditioning system characterized by being connected via a connecting duct portion that is proposed.

また請求項2に記載された発明によれば、請求項1の構成に加えて、前記連結ダクト部と前記アウトレット部材の前記第2吹き出し口との接続部に、前記連結ダクト部からの調温気を車幅方向外側に偏向させる整流部材を配置したことを特徴とする車両用空調装置が提案される。   According to the invention described in claim 2, in addition to the configuration of claim 1, temperature control from the connection duct portion is performed at a connection portion between the connection duct portion and the second outlet of the outlet member. A vehicular air conditioner is proposed, in which a rectifying member that deflects air outward in the vehicle width direction is disposed.

尚、実施の形態のサイド出口開口11bは本発明の第1出口開口に対応し、実施の形態の出口開口12aは本発明の第2出口開口に対応する。   The side outlet opening 11b of the embodiment corresponds to the first outlet opening of the present invention, and the outlet opening 12a of the embodiment corresponds to the second outlet opening of the present invention.

請求項1の構成によれば、車両用空調装置は、車室の空調用の調温気を後方に向けて案内するエアコンダクトと、サイドガラスの曇り止め用の調温気を後方に向けて案内するデフロスタダクトと、インパネカバーに取り付けられたアウトレット部材とを備え、アウトレット部材は、エアコンダクトからの調温気を後方に向けて吹き出す第1吹き出し口と、デフロスタダクトからの調温気を車幅方向外側に向けて吹き出す第2吹き出し口とを備える。   According to the configuration of claim 1, the vehicle air conditioner guides the air conditioning duct for air conditioning in the passenger compartment to the rear, and guides the air conditioning air for preventing fogging of the side glass to the rear. A defroster duct and an outlet member attached to the instrument panel cover. The outlet member has a first outlet for blowing the temperature-controlled air from the air-conditioner duct to the rear, and the temperature-controlled air from the defroster duct. And a second outlet that blows out toward the outside in the direction.

エアコンダクトの第1出口開口とアウトレット部材の第1吹き出し口とを直接接続するとともに、デフロスタダクトの第2出口開口とアウトレット部材の第2吹き出し口とをインパネカバーに形成した車幅方向に傾斜する連結ダクト部を介して接続したので、デフロスタダクトからの調温気をインパネカバーの連結ダクト部で車幅方向外側で偏向させることで、前記調温気をアウトレット部材の第2吹き出し口で車幅方向外側に偏向させる必要がなくなる。これにより、アウトレット部材を金型成形する際に、車幅方向外側に傾斜する前記連結ダクト部に相当する部分を一体に成形する必要がなくなり、アウトレット部材を前後方向に型抜きすることが可能となって金型の構造が簡素化され、アウトレット部材の製造コストを削減することができる。   The first outlet opening of the air conditioner duct and the first outlet of the outlet member are directly connected, and the second outlet opening of the defroster duct and the second outlet of the outlet member are inclined in the vehicle width direction formed in the instrument panel cover. Since it is connected via the connecting duct portion, the temperature-controlled air from the defroster duct is deflected outside in the vehicle width direction by the connecting duct portion of the instrument panel cover, so that the temperature-controlled air is supplied to the vehicle width at the second outlet of the outlet member. There is no need to deflect outward in the direction. As a result, when the outlet member is molded, it is not necessary to integrally mold a portion corresponding to the connecting duct portion that is inclined outward in the vehicle width direction, and the outlet member can be die-cut in the front-rear direction. Thus, the mold structure is simplified, and the manufacturing cost of the outlet member can be reduced.

また請求項2の構成によれば、連結ダクト部とアウトレット部材の第2吹き出し口との接続部に、連結ダクト部からの調温気を車幅方向外側に偏向させる整流部材を配置したので、第2出口ダクト部からの調温気を第2吹き出し口に向けて車幅方向外側にスムーズに案内することができるだけでなく、第1出口ダクト部、インパネカバーおよびアウトレット部材の寸法公差や位置誤差を吸収して連結ダクト部とアウトレット部材の第2吹き出し口との接続部に隙間が発生するのを防止し、調温気の漏れによる騒音や振動の発生を抑制することができる。   According to the configuration of claim 2, since the rectifying member that deflects the temperature-controlled air from the connecting duct portion to the outside in the vehicle width direction is arranged at the connecting portion between the connecting duct portion and the second outlet of the outlet member. Not only can temperature-controlled air from the second outlet duct be smoothly guided toward the second outlet toward the outside in the vehicle width direction, but also dimensional tolerances and position errors of the first outlet duct, instrument panel cover, and outlet member. And the occurrence of a gap in the connecting portion between the connecting duct portion and the second outlet of the outlet member can be prevented, and the generation of noise and vibration due to leakage of temperature-controlled air can be suppressed.

In the present specification, the front-rear direction, the left-right direction (vehicle width direction), and the up-down direction are defined with reference to an occupant seated in the driver's seat.

図1および図2に示すように、自動車の図示せぬインストルメントパネルの内部には、エアコンダクト11およびデフロスタダクト12が配置される。車幅方向中央部を図示せぬエアコン本体に接続されたエアコンダクト11は、車幅方向中央部に一対の矩形状のセンター出口開口11a,11aを備えるとともに、車幅方向両端部に一対の円形状のサイド出口開口11b,11b(第1出口開口)を備える。また車幅方向中央部をエアコン本体に接続されたデフロスタダクト12は、車幅方向両端部に一対の円弧状の出口開口12a,12a(第2出口開口)を備える。相互に隣接して配置されるエアコンダクト11のサイド出口開口11bおよびデフロスタダクト12の出口開口12aは共に後方に向けて開口しており、その開口端は生技上の要請によって平面で切断されている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an air conditioner duct 11 and a defroster duct 12 are arranged inside an instrument panel (not shown) of the automobile. An air conditioner duct 11 connected to an air conditioner main body (not shown) in the center in the vehicle width direction includes a pair of rectangular center outlet openings 11a and 11a in the center in the vehicle width direction, and a pair of circles at both ends in the vehicle width direction. Shaped side outlet openings 11b and 11b (first outlet openings) are provided. Further, the defroster duct 12 having a central portion in the vehicle width direction connected to the air conditioner body includes a pair of arc-shaped outlet openings 12a and 12a (second outlet openings) at both ends in the vehicle width direction. Both the side outlet opening 11b of the air-conditioner duct 11 and the outlet opening 12a of the defroster duct 12 which are arranged adjacent to each other are opened rearward, and the opening ends thereof are cut by a plane according to the demands of a technical skill. Yes.

図3〜図5に示すように、エアコンダクト11およびデフロスタダクト12はインストルメントパネルを覆うインパネカバー13の内部に収納されており、インパネカバー13に形成された開口部にアウトレット部材14が装着される。合成樹脂で一体成形されたアウトレット部材14は、車幅方向内側に円形状の第1吹き出し口14aを備えるるとともに、車幅方向外側に円弧状の第2吹き出し口14bを備え、第1吹き出し口14aはエアコンダクト11のサイド出口開口11bからの調温気を車室内の乗員に向けて後方に吹き出し、第2吹き出し口14bはデフロスタダクト12の出口開口12aからの調温気をフロントドアの不図示のドアガラスに向けて後方かつ車幅方向外側に斜め吹き出す。第1吹き出し口14aおよび第2吹き出し口14bには、調温気の吹き出し方向を調整するルーバーが設けられる。   As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the air-conditioner duct 11 and the defroster duct 12 are housed inside an instrument panel cover 13 that covers the instrument panel, and an outlet member 14 is attached to an opening formed in the instrument panel cover 13. The The outlet member 14 integrally formed of synthetic resin includes a circular first blowing port 14a on the inner side in the vehicle width direction and an arcuate second blowing port 14b on the outer side in the vehicle width direction. 14a blows out the temperature-controlled air from the side outlet opening 11b of the air-conditioner duct 11 toward the passenger in the passenger compartment, and the second outlet 14b sends the temperature-controlled air from the outlet opening 12a of the defroster duct 12 to the front door. It blows diagonally toward the door glass shown in the figure and rearward in the vehicle width direction. The first air outlet 14a and the second air outlet 14b are provided with louvers for adjusting the direction of the temperature-controlled air.

アウトレット部材14の第1吹き出し口14aは、前方に向かって延びる円筒状のガイド部14cを一体に備えており、ガイド部14cの前端がエアコンダクト11のサイド出口開口11bの後端に前後方向に嵌合する。一方、アウトレット部材14の第2吹き出し口14bは前記ガイド部14cに相当する部分を持たず、デフロスタダクト12の出口開口12aから離間している。インパネカバー13の車幅方向外端部には、アウトレット部材14に覆われる連結ダクト部13aが一体に形成される。円弧状断面の連結ダクト部13aは、その前端13bがデフロスタダクト12の出口開口12aに嵌合し、その後端13cがアウトレット部材14の第2吹き出し口14bに突き合わされる。   The first outlet 14a of the outlet member 14 is integrally provided with a cylindrical guide portion 14c that extends forward, and the front end of the guide portion 14c extends in the front-rear direction to the rear end of the side outlet opening 11b of the air conditioner duct 11. Mating. On the other hand, the second outlet 14 b of the outlet member 14 does not have a portion corresponding to the guide portion 14 c and is separated from the outlet opening 12 a of the defroster duct 12. A connecting duct portion 13 a covered with the outlet member 14 is integrally formed at the outer end portion of the instrument panel cover 13 in the vehicle width direction. The front end 13 b of the connecting duct portion 13 a having an arcuate cross section is fitted into the outlet opening 12 a of the defroster duct 12, and the rear end 13 c is abutted against the second outlet 14 b of the outlet member 14.

インパネカバー13の連結ダクト部13aが延びる方向は前後方向からずれており、上流側(前端13b側)が車幅方向内側に偏倚し、下流側(後端13c側)が車幅方向外側に偏倚している。よって、前後方向に延びるアウトレット部材14のガイド部14cと、車幅方向に傾く連結ダクト部13aとは非平行になる(図5参照)。   The direction in which the connecting duct portion 13a of the instrument panel cover 13 extends is deviated from the front-rear direction, the upstream side (front end 13b side) is biased inward in the vehicle width direction, and the downstream side (rear end 13c side) is biased outward in the vehicle width direction. doing. Therefore, the guide part 14c of the outlet member 14 extending in the front-rear direction is not parallel to the connecting duct part 13a inclined in the vehicle width direction (see FIG. 5).

連結ダクト部13aの後端13cの車幅方向内端から延長部13dが後方に延びており、延長部13dの後端に合成樹脂製の整流部材15が装着される。整流部材15は連結ダクト部13aの後端13cの形状に沿う円弧状の部材であり、前方に向けて開放するスリット15aが延長部13dに嵌合して固定される。整流部材15の車幅方向外面には車幅方向外側に傾斜する整流面15bが形成されるとともに、整流面15bの後端に第2吹き出し口14bに隣接するアウトレット部材14の内面に当接するシール面15cが形成される。   An extension portion 13d extends rearward from the inner end in the vehicle width direction of the rear end 13c of the connecting duct portion 13a, and a rectifying member 15 made of synthetic resin is attached to the rear end of the extension portion 13d. The rectifying member 15 is an arcuate member that follows the shape of the rear end 13c of the connecting duct portion 13a, and a slit 15a that opens toward the front is fitted and fixed to the extension portion 13d. A rectifying surface 15b that is inclined outward in the vehicle width direction is formed on the outer surface of the rectifying member 15 in the vehicle width direction, and a seal that contacts the inner surface of the outlet member 14 adjacent to the second outlet 14b at the rear end of the rectifying surface 15b. A surface 15c is formed.

次に、上記構成を備えた本発明の実施の形態の作用を説明する。   Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention having the above configuration will be described.

エアコン本体からエアコンダクト11に供給された調温気の一部は、車幅方向両端の一対のサイド出口開口11b,11bからアウトレット部材14のガイド部14c,14cに流入し、ガイド部14c,14cの後端の第1吹き出し口14a,14aから乗員に向けて後方に吹き出すことで車室内を空調する。またエアコン本体からデフロスタダクト12に供給された調温気の一部は、車幅方向両端の一対の出口開口12a,12aからインパネカバー13の連結ダクト部13a,13aに流入し、連結ダクト部13a,13aの後端に接続されたアウトレット部材14の第2吹き出し口14b,14bから斜め後方に吹き出すことでドアガラスの曇りを防止する。   Part of the temperature-controlled air supplied from the air-conditioner body to the air-conditioner duct 11 flows into the guide portions 14c and 14c of the outlet member 14 from the pair of side outlet openings 11b and 11b at both ends in the vehicle width direction, and the guide portions 14c and 14c. The vehicle interior is air-conditioned by blowing backward from the first outlets 14a, 14a at the rear end toward the occupant. Further, part of the temperature-controlled air supplied from the air conditioner body to the defroster duct 12 flows into the connecting duct portions 13a and 13a of the instrument panel cover 13 through the pair of outlet openings 12a and 12a at both ends in the vehicle width direction, and the connecting duct portion 13a. , 13a is blown obliquely rearward from the second outlets 14b, 14b of the outlet member 14 connected to the rear end of the outlet member 14, thereby preventing fogging of the door glass.

意匠上の観点から、アウトレット部材14は、空調用の調温気を吹き出す第1吹き出し口14aと曇り止め用の調温気を吹き出す第2吹き出し口14bを一体に備えるが、第1吹き出し口14aは調温気を後方に吹き出し、第2吹き出し口14bは調温気を斜め後方に吹き出すため、従来はアウトレット部材14を金型成形する際に型抜きが困難になる問題があった。   From the viewpoint of design, the outlet member 14 is integrally provided with a first air outlet 14a that blows out temperature-controlled air for air conditioning and a second air outlet 14b that blows out air-conditioned air for anti-fogging, but the first air outlet 14a. Has a problem in that it is difficult to mold the outlet member 14 when the outlet member 14 is molded.

即ち、アウトレット部材14の第1吹き出し口14aから筒状のガイド部14cが前方に一体に延びているため、アウトレット部材14を金型成形する際の型抜き方向は必然的に前後方向になる。このとき、仮に調温気を斜め後方に吹き出すアウトレット部材14の第2吹き出し口14bから筒状のガイド部が斜め前方に延びていると、そのガイド部がアウトレット部材14の型抜きを阻害することになる。   That is, since the cylindrical guide portion 14c integrally extends forward from the first blowout port 14a of the outlet member 14, the die cutting direction when the outlet member 14 is molded is inevitably the front-rear direction. At this time, if the cylindrical guide portion extends obliquely forward from the second outlet 14b of the outlet member 14 that blows the temperature-controlled air obliquely backward, the guide portion inhibits the outlet member 14 from being punched. become.

しかしながら、本実施の形態によれば、アウトレット部材14の第2吹き出し口14bは斜め前方に延びるガイド部を備えておらず、このガイド部の機能を果たす連結ダクト部13aをアウトレット部材14とは別部材であるインパネカバー13と一体に形成したので、金型の構造を複雑化することなくアウトレット部材14を前後方向に型抜きすることが可能となり、アウトレット部材14の製造コストが削減される。   However, according to the present embodiment, the second outlet 14b of the outlet member 14 does not include a guide portion that extends obliquely forward, and the connecting duct portion 13a that functions as the guide portion is different from the outlet member 14. Since it is formed integrally with the instrument panel cover 13 which is a member, the outlet member 14 can be punched in the front-rear direction without complicating the structure of the mold, and the manufacturing cost of the outlet member 14 is reduced.

またデフロスタダクト12の出口開口12aの開口端は生技上の要請によって平面で切断されているため、その出口開口12aをアウトレット部材14の斜めに傾斜した第2吹き出し口14bに直接接続することは難しいが、デフロスタダクト12の出口開口12aとアウトレット部材14の第2吹き出し口14bとの間にインパネカバー13の連結ダクト部13aを介在させたことで、デフロスタダクト12の出口開口12aおよびアウトレット部材14の第2吹き出し口14bを容易に接続することができる。しかもインパネカバー13の連結ダクト部13aとアウトレット部材14とは別部材であるため、その連結ダクト部13aを斜めに形成してデフロスタダクト12の出口開口12aからの調温気を車幅方向外側に偏向させ、アウトレット部材14の第2吹き出し口14bからドアガラスに向けて斜めに吹き出すことができる。   Further, since the opening end of the outlet opening 12a of the defroster duct 12 is cut by a plane according to the demands of the engineering, it is not possible to directly connect the outlet opening 12a to the inclined second outlet 14b of the outlet member 14. Although difficult, since the connecting duct portion 13a of the instrument panel cover 13 is interposed between the outlet opening 12a of the defroster duct 12 and the second outlet 14b of the outlet member 14, the outlet opening 12a and the outlet member 14 of the defroster duct 12 are provided. The second outlet 14b can be easily connected. Moreover, since the connecting duct portion 13a and the outlet member 14 of the instrument panel cover 13 are separate members, the connecting duct portion 13a is formed obliquely so that the temperature-controlled air from the outlet opening 12a of the defroster duct 12 is outward in the vehicle width direction. It can be deflected and blown obliquely from the second outlet 14b of the outlet member 14 toward the door glass.

ところで、アウトレット部材14の第2吹き出し口14bにインパネカバー13の連結ダクト部13aを接続しても、各部材の寸法公差や位置誤差によって接続部を完全にシールすることは困難であり、接続部の隙間から調温気が漏れて騒音や振動の原因となる問題がある。   By the way, even if the connecting duct portion 13a of the instrument panel cover 13 is connected to the second outlet 14b of the outlet member 14, it is difficult to completely seal the connecting portion due to the dimensional tolerance and position error of each member. There is a problem that the temperature control air leaks from the gap and causes noise and vibration.

しかしながら、本実施の形態によれば、インパネカバー13の連結ダクト部13aの延長部13dの端部を覆うように差し込んで装着した整流部材15をアウトレット部材14の内面に当接させたので、連結ダクト部13aおよびアウトレット部材14間に生じる隙間を整流部材15のシール面15cで塞いで調温気の漏れを防止できるだけでなく、整流部材15の整流面15bで連結ダクト部13aからの調温気を更に車幅方向外側に偏向させ、第2吹き出し口14bからドアガラスに向けて吹き出すことができる。このように、整流部材15に調温気の整流機能とシール機能とを併せ持たせたので、部品点数の削減が可能となる。   However, according to the present embodiment, since the rectifying member 15 inserted and attached so as to cover the end of the extension portion 13d of the connecting duct portion 13a of the instrument panel cover 13 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the outlet member 14, The gap between the duct portion 13a and the outlet member 14 can be blocked by the seal surface 15c of the rectifying member 15 to prevent the temperature-controlled air from leaking, and the conditioned air from the connecting duct portion 13a can be prevented by the rectifying surface 15b of the rectifying member 15. Can be further deflected outward in the vehicle width direction and blown out from the second blow-out port 14b toward the door glass. As described above, since the rectifying member 15 has both the rectifying function of the temperature-controlled air and the sealing function, the number of parts can be reduced.

以上、本発明の実施の形態を説明したが、本発明はその要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の設計変更を行うことが可能である。   The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but various design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

例えば、本発明のサイドガラスは実施の形態のドアガラスに限定されず、フロントクオータガラスであっても良い。   For example, the side glass of the present invention is not limited to the door glass of the embodiment, and may be a front quarter glass.

またインパネカバー13は全体が一部材で構成されている必要はなく、アウトレット部材14が取り付けられる部分が分割されていても良い。   Further, the entire instrument panel cover 13 does not need to be formed of a single member, and a portion to which the outlet member 14 is attached may be divided.
