  Hereinafter, a wind direction adjusting structure under a vehicle seat according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a vehicle 10 that includes an air conditioner 11 and a jack case 30. As shown in FIG. 1, the jack case 30 is disposed below the front seat 13. In this embodiment, an example in which the jack case 30 is disposed below the left front seat 13 is described. However, the jack case 30 may be disposed below the right front seat 13. The front seat 13 on the side where the vehicle is disposed may be a driver seat or a passenger seat.

  The air conditioner 11 is an apparatus that supplies air that has been air conditioned from below the front seat 13 toward the feet of the passenger P sitting on the rear seat 17. The air conditioner 11 includes an air conditioning unit 12 and an air conditioning duct 20 connected to the air conditioning unit 12. The air conditioning unit 12 is provided inside the dashboard of the vehicle 10 and has a cooling means (not shown) for cooling the air and a heating means (not shown) for heating the air.

  The air conditioning unit 12 is connected to a suction duct (not shown) that takes in air from outside the vehicle or inside the vehicle, for example. The air sent from the suction duct to the air conditioning unit 12 is cooled or heated, or is sent to the air conditioning duct 20 as it is. The air-conditioning unit 12 is not shown for supplying air to other portions in the vehicle interior such as the front of the front seat 13 in addition to the air-conditioning duct 20 that sends the air-conditioned air toward the lower portion of the rear seat 17. A blower duct or the like is connected.

  The air conditioning duct 20 is provided below the carpet of the vehicle compartment floor of the vehicle 10. Further, the rear end of the air conditioning duct 20, that is, the vicinity of the opening 22 and the opening 24 (see FIG. 3) is bent upward.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the vicinity of the jack case 30 of the vehicle 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the jack case 30 is provided below the front seat 13 on the left side of the vehicle 10 and between a pair of seat rails 14 that support the front seat 13. The air conditioning duct 20 extends from the center side in the width direction of the vehicle 10 to the front of the front seat 13, and is branched into an air conditioning duct 21 and an air conditioning duct 23 on the way.

  The air conditioning duct 21 is formed in the outward direction of the vehicle 10, that is, on the left side. The air conditioning duct 23 is formed on the center side of the vehicle 10, that is, on the right side of the air conditioning duct 21, and is provided near the center of the front seat 13 in the left-right direction. By providing the air conditioning duct 23 at the approximate center in the left-right direction of the front seat 13, it is possible to prevent the air conditioning duct 23 from coming into contact with attachment parts such as a bracket of the front seat 13, a wire harness, or a connector. For example, a space for arranging a wire harness, a connector, or the like can be secured between the air conditioning duct 23 and the seat rail 14 on the right side thereof.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the vicinity of the jack case 30 of the vehicle 10 as viewed obliquely from the left rear. As shown in FIG. 3, an opening 22 is formed at the rear end of the air conditioning duct 21, which is an outlet for blowing the conditioned air into the passenger compartment. In addition, an opening 24, which is a blowout port for air that is also air-conditioned, is formed.

  The opening 22 and the opening 24 of the air conditioning duct 20 are provided above the upper surface of the upper cover 31 of the jack case 30. Thereby, the air blown out from the opening 22 and the opening 24 passes above the jack case 30 and is blown backward.

  The jack case 30 is made of, for example, polypropylene, and is provided behind the opening 22 and the opening 24 of the air conditioning duct 20. The upper lid 31 of the jack case 30 is formed with a pair of convex portions 32 protruding upward and extending in the front-rear direction. The pair of convex portions 32 includes a convex portion 33 provided on the left side with respect to the traveling direction of the vehicle 10 and a convex portion 34 provided on the right side. In other words, the convex portion 33 is provided on the vehicle exterior side of the vehicle 10, and the convex portion 34 is provided on the center side of the vehicle 10. In addition, a hole 36 serving as a handle for opening and closing the upper lid 31 is formed in the rear portion of the upper lid 31.

  FIG. 4 is a plan view of the jack case 30. As shown in FIG. 4, the front portion of the jack case 30 is formed obliquely with respect to the width direction of the vehicle 10 (see FIG. 1). Specifically, the jack case 30 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape or a substantially triangular shape whose dimensions in the front-rear direction increase from the outside of the jack case 30 toward the inside of the vehicle. In other words, the jack case 30 is formed so that the width dimension increases from the front to the rear of the jack case 30.

  The jack 40 is housed in the jack case 30 in a state of being tilted sideways. When the jack 40 is used, the base portion 41 that is grounded to the ground is obliquely forward, and the upper portion of the jack 40 that supports the vehicle 10 is obliquely rearward. It is stored so that it faces. That is, the jack 40 is housed obliquely with respect to the vehicle width direction in plan view. Specifically, the jack 40 is housed substantially along a front portion formed obliquely in plan view of the jack case 30.

  5 is a cross-sectional view of the jack case 30 taken along line AA shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the jack 40 is housed in the jack case 30 with the base portion 41 protruding upward by being tilted and housed sideways.

  The portion protruding above the base portion 41 in the state where the jack 40 is stored is stored at a position corresponding to the convex portion 32 inside the jack case 30. Thereby, the height of the upper surface of the jack case 30 can be lowered, and the vertical dimension of the jack case 30 can be reduced. Therefore, a wide space for air-conditioned air above the jack case 30, that is, below the front seat 13 (see FIG. 1), can be secured widely.

  6A is a cross-sectional view of the upper lid 31 of the jack case 30 taken along line BB shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view of the upper lid 31 taken along line CC of FIG. As shown in FIG. 6A, the upper portion 33a of the convex portion 33 is formed to be substantially horizontal. The inclined portion 33b which is the left side surface of the convex portion 33 and the inclined portion 33c which is the right side surface are inclined so that the width of the lower portion of the convex portion 33 is widened. That is, the convex part 33 is formed in a substantially tapered shape. By forming the convex portion 33 on the upper lid 31, the side surface of the convex portion 33 can be used as a guide surface for suitably guiding the air-conditioned air by changing the air flow direction.

  Similar to the convex portion 33, the convex portion 34 has an upper portion 34 a formed substantially horizontally, and an inclined portion 34 b and an inclined portion 34 c which are side surfaces of the convex portion 34 are formed obliquely. That is, the convex part 34 is formed in a substantially tapered shape. Thereby, the side surface of the convex portion 34 can be used as a guide surface for the air flowing on the upper surface of the upper lid 31. In addition, as described above, since the convex portion 33 and the convex portion 34 are formed in a substantially tapered shape, there is an advantage that the mold release when the upper lid 31 is molded becomes easy.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, the inclined portion 33c on the rear side of the convex portion 33 is formed on the right side of the front side portion shown in FIG. Further, the rear inclined portion 33c is formed more gently than the front portion shown in FIG. Thereby, a suitable air flow along the inclined portion 33c can be formed.

  FIG. 7 is a plan view showing the vicinity of the jack case 30 of the vehicle 10. 7 to 9 indicate the flow of air sent out from the air conditioning duct 20. As shown in FIG. 7, the right foot R and the left foot L of the occupant P seated on the rear seat 17 (see FIG. 1) are placed near the rear of the seat rail 14 that supports the front seat 13 and inside the pair of seat rails 14. It is burned.

  The opening 22 is formed to open toward the left rear of the front seat 13, that is, the left foot L of the occupant P seated on the rear seat 17, and the air blown out from the opening 22 is seated on the rear seat 17. Supplied to the vicinity of the left foot L of the occupant P.

  Further, the convex portion 33 is provided on the right side of the opening portion 22. Therefore, the air blown out from the opening 22 passes through the left side of the convex portion 33. As described above, since the inclined portion 33b is formed on the left side of the convex portion 33, the convex portion 33 can prevent the air blown from the opening portion 22 from spreading in the right direction. That is, air can be suitably guided to the left foot L of the occupant P by the inclined portion 33 b of the convex portion 33.

  The opening 24 is formed obliquely so as to open toward the right rear of the front seat 13, that is, the right foot R of the occupant P seated on the rear seat 17, and the air blown out from the opening 24 is Supplied near the right foot R of P. The front portion of the convex portion 33 is formed on the left side of the opening portion 24, and the front portion of the convex portion 34 is formed on the right side of the opening portion 24. That is, the opening 24 opens toward the concave portion 35 formed by the pair of convex portions 32. Thereby, the air blown from the opening 24 flows substantially along the recess 35.

  The inclined portion 33c of the convex portion 33 is formed obliquely so as to face the rear portion of the right seat rail 14, that is, the right foot R in plan view. In particular, as described above, the inclined portion 33c is located on the right side as it goes rearward, and is gently formed. As a result, the air blown from the opening 24 is changed in the flow direction by the inclined portion 33c of the convex portion 33, flows substantially along the inclined portion 33c, and flows to the right seat R of the occupant P seated on the rear seat 17. Supplied in the vicinity.

  In addition, since the convex portion 34 is formed on the right side of the opening 24, the air blown from the opening 24 can be prevented from spreading to the right side by the inclined portion 34b. Further, the rear portion of the inclined portion 34b of the convex portion 34 is formed obliquely so as to face the rear portion of the right seat rail 14, that is, the vicinity of the right foot R of the occupant P. Thereby, the flow of air blown from the opening 24 can be suitably guided toward the right foot R.

  The pair of convex portions 32 extends from the front portion of the upper lid 31 to the approximate center in the front-rear direction. Thereby, for example, when the occupant P sitting on the rear seat 17 extends the right foot R and the left foot L, the right foot R and the left foot L of the occupant P can be prevented from contacting the convex portion 33 and the convex portion 34. Further, the flow of air blown out from the opening 22 and the opening 24 can be suitably guided and sent to the feet of the occupant P. Thus, by suitably setting the length in the front-rear direction of the convex portion 33 and the convex portion 34, a space for extending the foot of the occupant P is secured, and the flow of air-conditioned air is suitably guided. A comfortable ride environment and air conditioning environment are realized.

  As described above, the convex portion 32 for accommodating the base portion 41 (see FIG. 5) of the jack 40 is suitably formed, so that the right foot R and the left foot L of the occupant P seated on the rear seat 17. It can be used as a guide for supplying air that has been conditioned. As a result, the space below the front seat 13 can be used effectively for housing the jack 40, and suitable air conditioning performance for the vicinity of the rear seat 17 can be obtained.

  FIG. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view of the air conditioning duct 21. As shown in FIG. 8, a floor member 15 and a front seat fixing portion 16 are provided below the front seat 13 (see FIG. 1). The floor member 15 is provided so as to cover the front seat fixing portion 16 and the air conditioning duct 20.

  The front seat fixing portion 16 is a structural member for supporting the front seat 13, extends in the left-right direction as shown in FIG. 2, and is provided below the pair of seat rails 14. The seat rail 14 is fixed to the front seat fixing portion 16.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the air conditioning duct 21 on the vehicle exterior side is provided through the front seat fixing part 16 and the floor member 15. The rear portion of the air conditioning duct 21 is formed by an extension duct 21a that bends in a substantially S shape in a side view. Thereby, the opening 22 can be formed above the upper lid 31, and air can flow on the upper surface of the jack case 30.

  Further, as described above, the air-conditioning duct 21 can be protruded rearward from the front seat fixing portion 16 by forming the width of the front portion of the jack case 30 small. Thereby, the opening part 22 can be formed in the jack case 30 vicinity, and air can be ventilated suitably.

  The air conditioning duct 23 on the center side is provided above the front seat fixing portion 16 and is formed so that the opening 24 is inside the floor member 15. That is, the air conditioning duct 23 does not penetrate the floor member 15, and the opening 24 is provided in front of the opening formed in the floor member 15. Thus, since the air conditioning duct 23 is not formed behind the opening of the floor member 15, when the front seat 13 (see FIG. 1) is slid, it is provided at the lower portion of the front seat 13 (not shown). It can prevent that a seating sensor, a wire harness, a connector, etc., and the air-conditioning duct 23 contact.
