Description

本発明は、吸気ダクトに関し、更に詳細には、空気吸引口を有する空気吸引部と、この空気吸引部の空気吸引方向と交差する方向に延在し、その一端部に送風装置へ接続される空気送出口を有する空気導出部とからなる吸気ダクトに関するものである。   The present invention relates to an air intake duct, and more specifically, an air suction portion having an air suction port, and extends in a direction crossing the air suction direction of the air suction portion, and is connected to a blower at one end thereof. The present invention relates to an intake duct including an air outlet portion having an air outlet.

例えば近年生産される自動車では、乗員室内の快適性向上を図るため、種々の空調設備が装備されている。特に高級車の一部のグレードでは、図15に例示するように、シート空調システムACを内蔵したシートSが採用されている車種もあり、このシート空調システムACにより温度コントロールされた調温空気をシート表面からシャワー状に吹出すようにして乗員の快適性向上を図るよう考慮されている。このシート空調システムACは、吸気ダクトD1、ブロア等の送風装置BW、ペルチェ素子等の熱交換器H、シートSの表面へ調温空気を送出する空気吹出管Pから基本的に構成されている。   For example, automobiles produced in recent years are equipped with various air conditioning facilities in order to improve the comfort in the passenger compartment. In particular, some grades of luxury cars employ a seat S that incorporates a seat air conditioning system AC, as illustrated in FIG. 15, and the temperature-controlled air controlled by the seat air conditioning system AC is used. It is considered to improve passenger comfort by blowing out from the seat surface like a shower. This seat air conditioning system AC is basically composed of an intake duct D1, a blower BW such as a blower, a heat exchanger H such as a Peltier element, and an air outlet pipe P that sends out conditioned air to the surface of the seat S. .

ここでシート空調システムACは、シートSの内部構造や内部空間等の制約があるために該シートSの内部に収納し得るよう小型コンパクトに設計せざるを得ず、小型の熱交換器Hによる熱交換効率を最大限に向上させるため、シートSの側部上方に吸気ダクトD1の空気吸引口10を位置させて乗員室内の空気を効率的に取り入れるよう考慮されている。これにより吸気ダクトD1は、送風装置BWの配設位置等の関係により、空気吸引口10を有する空気吸引部20と、この空気吸引部20の空気吸引方向と略直角に交差する方向に延在し、その一端部に送風装置BWへ接続される空気送出口12を有する空気導出部22とからなる略L字形の屈曲ダクトである。このような技術は、例えば特許文献1等に開示されている。
特開2004−82958号公報
Here, the seat air conditioning system AC must be designed to be small and compact so that it can be accommodated inside the seat S due to restrictions on the internal structure and internal space of the seat S. In order to maximize the heat exchange efficiency, it is considered that the air suction port 10 of the intake duct D1 is positioned above the side portion of the seat S to efficiently take in air in the passenger compartment. Thus, the intake duct D1 extends in a direction substantially intersecting with the air suction direction of the air suction portion 20 and the air suction direction of the air suction portion 20 depending on the arrangement position of the blower BW and the like. And it is the substantially L-shaped bending duct which consists of the air derivation | leading-out part 22 which has the air delivery port 12 connected to the air blower BW in the one end part. Such a technique is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1.
JP 2004-82958 A

ところで、前述したシート空調システムACでは、吸気ダクトD1の空気吸引口10が、当該シートSに着座した乗員(図示せず)の耳元に近い部位に開口している。このため、送風装置BWのモーターの運転音および吸気音等の作動騒音が、該送風装置BWの空気取込口14に連結された空気送出口12を介して吸気ダクトD1の内部へ進入し、ダクト内を伝播して空気吸引口10から乗員室内へ漏れ出ると、当該シートSに着座した乗員に直接的に聞こえてしまう不都合があった。従って、図16に例示したように、ウレタンシート等の吸音シートWを吸気ダクトD1の内側に貼り込み、前述した騒音を吸収する対策が施されていた。   By the way, in the seat air conditioning system AC described above, the air suction port 10 of the intake duct D1 opens at a portion close to the ear of an occupant (not shown) seated on the seat S. For this reason, the operating noise of the motor of the blower BW and the operation noise such as the intake noise enter the inside of the intake duct D1 through the air outlet 12 connected to the air intake port 14 of the blower BW, If it propagates through the duct and leaks out of the air suction port 10 into the passenger compartment, there is a disadvantage that it is heard directly by the passenger seated on the seat S. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 16, a sound absorbing sheet W such as a urethane sheet is attached to the inside of the intake duct D1, and the above-described countermeasure for absorbing the noise has been taken.

しかしながら、前述したように吸気ダクトD1が小型であるため(シートSの内部構造の制約等により大型化が不可能)、吸音のために必要とされる厚みの吸音シートWを貼り込むことが不可能であり、薄い吸音シートWを貼り込まざるを得ないために充分な吸音効果が得られない不具合があった。また、吸音シートWを貼り込むことにより、吸気ダクトD1の有効断面積が減少してしまい、通気抵抗が上昇すると共に必要とする風量が確保できない等の問題も発生していた。更には、吸音シートWの材料費および貼込工数が増加するため、成形コストが嵩む等の問題も指摘される。   However, as described above, since the intake duct D1 is small (cannot be increased in size due to restrictions on the internal structure of the sheet S), it is impossible to stick the sound absorbing sheet W having a thickness required for sound absorption. There is a problem that a sufficient sound absorbing effect cannot be obtained because the thin sound absorbing sheet W has to be stuck. Further, by sticking the sound absorbing sheet W, the effective cross-sectional area of the intake duct D1 is reduced, and there is a problem that the ventilation resistance is increased and the necessary air volume cannot be secured. Furthermore, since the material cost of the sound absorbing sheet W and the number of pasting steps increase, problems such as an increase in molding cost are pointed out.

従って本発明では、送風装置からダクト内に進入した騒音を反射する反射壁を設け、該騒音を低減させるようにした吸気ダクトを提供することを目的とする。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an intake duct that is provided with a reflection wall that reflects noise that has entered the duct from the blower and that reduces the noise.

前記課題を解決し、所期の目的を達成するため本発明は、
シートの表面から調温空気を送出させるシート空調システムの構成部材として該シート内に配設される吸気ダクトにおいて、

従って、本発明に係る吸気ダクトによれば、空気導出部内を伝播する送風装置の騒音を反射壁で反射させることで、シートの側部上方に開口する空気吸引口へ伝播する該騒音のうち、特に人間が不快に感ずる1,500〜4,000Hzの騒音を効果的に低減させ得る有益な効果を奏する。そして、吸音シート等の吸音材を内部に貼り込む必要がなくなるので、通気抵抗の上昇を防止すると共に風量を確保し得る利点がある。また、反射壁の面積が空気導出部の有効断面積より大きくなっているため、吸気ダクト内を伝播して反射壁へ到来した騒音の効率的な反射が期待される。更に、吸気ダクトの成形時に反射壁が一体的に形成されるので、材料費および工数が増加することがなく、よって成形コストが嵩まない等の利点もある。

And since it is not necessary to stick a sound-absorbing material such as a sound-absorbing sheet inside, there is an advantage that an increase in ventilation resistance can be prevented and an air volume can be secured. In addition, since the area of the reflection wall is larger than the effective cross-sectional area of the air outlet, efficient reflection of noise that has propagated through the intake duct and arrived at the reflection wall is expected. Further, since the reflecting wall is integrally formed when the intake duct is formed, there is an advantage that the material cost and the man-hour are not increased, and the forming cost is not increased.

Similarly, another invention to solve the above-mentioned problem and achieve the intended purpose is as follows:
In an intake duct disposed in the seat as a component of a seat air conditioning system that sends out temperature-controlled air from the surface of the seat,
An air suction part having an air suction port that opens to the outside of the sheet above the side of the sheet;
An air outlet portion extending in a direction intersecting with the air suction direction of the air suction portion and having an air outlet connected to a blower device at one end thereof;

Therefore, according to the intake duct according to another invention, the noise of the air blower propagating in the air outlet portion is reflected by the reflecting wall, so that the noise that propagates to the air suction opening that opens above the side portion of the seat In particular, there is a beneficial effect that can effectively reduce noise of 1,500 to 4,000 Hz, which is particularly uncomfortable for humans. And since it is not necessary to stick a sound-absorbing material such as a sound-absorbing sheet inside, there is an advantage that an increase in ventilation resistance can be prevented and an air volume can be secured.

次に、本発明に係る吸気ダクトにつき、好適な実施例を挙げて、添付図面を参照しながら以下説明する。なお、本願が対象とする吸気ダクトは、作動騒音を発生する種々機器や送風装置等の空気取込口に接続されるものが全て対象とされるが、本実施例では、図15に例示したシート空調システムACを構成する吸気ダクトを例示する。従って、図15および図16に既出の部材、部品と同一の部材、部品については、同一の符号を付して説明する。   Next, an intake duct according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of preferred embodiments. Note that the intake ducts targeted by the present application are all those that are connected to the air intakes of various devices, blowers, etc. that generate operating noise. The air intake duct which comprises seat air-conditioning system AC is illustrated. Accordingly, the same members and parts as those already described in FIGS. 15 and 16 will be described with the same reference numerals.

図1は、好適実施例に係る吸気ダクトを、その構成を示すために一部破断して示した説明図であり、図2は吸気ダクトの概略斜視図である。本実施例の吸気ダクトDは、空気吸引口10を有する所要長の空気吸引部20と、この空気吸引部20の空気吸引方向と略直角に交差する方向に延在し、その一端部に設けた空気送出口12が送風装置BWの空気取込口14に接続される空気導出部22とからなる屈曲ダクトである。このような吸気ダクトDは、例えば高密度ポリエチレン(HDPE)等を材質とした厚みが1mm程度のインジェクション成形部材である。   FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an intake duct according to a preferred embodiment with a part thereof broken to show the configuration thereof, and FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the intake duct. The air intake duct D of the present embodiment extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the air suction direction of the air suction portion 20 and the required length of the air suction portion 20 having the air suction port 10 and is provided at one end thereof. The air outlet 12 is a bent duct comprising an air outlet 22 connected to the air intake 14 of the blower BW. Such an intake duct D is an injection molded member having a thickness of about 1 mm made of, for example, high density polyethylene (HDPE).

空気吸引部20は角筒状を呈しており、この空気吸引部20の先端(前端)に開口した空気吸引口10は40mm×30mm程度の矩形状とされ、その開口面積A1は120mm程度に設定されている。また空気導出部22も角筒状を呈し、この空気導出部22の先端(後端)に開口した空気送出口12は、前述した空気吸引口10と略同一の120mm程度に設定されている。なお、空気導出部22の後端は、送風装置BWの空気取込口14の形状に合致するよう直径dの円形状に形成されている。ここで、空気吸引部20の長さL1は30mm程度、空気導出部22の長さL2は60mm程度に設定されており、この空気導出部22の方が長くなっている。 The air suction portion 20 has a rectangular tube shape, and the air suction port 10 opened at the front end (front end) of the air suction portion 20 has a rectangular shape of about 40 mm × 30 mm, and the opening area A1 is about 120 mm 2 . Is set. The air outlet 22 also has a rectangular tube shape, and the air outlet 12 opened at the front end (rear end) of the air outlet 22 is set to about 120 mm 2 which is substantially the same as the air suction port 10 described above. . The rear end of the air outlet 22 is formed in a circular shape having a diameter d so as to match the shape of the air intake port 14 of the blower BW. Here, the length L1 of the air suction part 20 is set to about 30 mm, and the length L2 of the air lead-out part 22 is set to about 60 mm. The air lead-out part 22 is longer.

そして本実施例の吸気ダクトDでは、図15に例示した従来の略L字形の吸気ダクトD1を基本として、空気吸引部20に臨む空気導出部22の他端部(空気吸引部20に連設した屈曲部分)に、送風装置BW側とは反対側へ延出するよう設けた空間部24と、この空間部24を構成する壁部の一部から形成されて空気導出部22の軸線と交差し、該空気導出部22内を伝播する送風装置BWの騒音を反射させ得る反射壁26とを追加したことを特徴としている。換言すると、空気吸引部20を挟んで空気送出口12とは反対側へ空気導出部22を所要長だけ延長形成することで空間部24が画成されており、その先端部分に前述した反射壁26を形成したものである。   In the intake duct D of the present embodiment, the other end portion of the air outlet portion 22 facing the air suction portion 20 (continuously connected to the air suction portion 20) is based on the conventional substantially L-shaped intake duct D1 illustrated in FIG. The space 24 provided to extend to the side opposite to the air blower BW side, and a part of the wall that constitutes the space 24 and intersects the axis of the air outlet 22. In addition, a reflection wall 26 capable of reflecting the noise of the blower BW propagating through the air outlet 22 is added. In other words, the space 24 is defined by extending the air lead-out portion 22 by a required length to the opposite side of the air delivery port 12 with the air suction portion 20 interposed therebetween, and the reflection wall described above is formed at the tip portion thereof. 26 is formed.

そして反射壁26は、空気導出部22の長手方向に沿った軸線に対して直角に交差する向きに形成されている。これにより、空気送出口12から吸気ダクトD内へ進入して空気導出部22を伝播する送風装置BWの騒音は、この反射壁26で反射した後に逆向きの反射音となり、再び空気導出部22内を送風装置BW側へ反射するようになる。従って、空気吸引口10の側へ伝播する該騒音を低減させ得るようになっている。   The reflection wall 26 is formed in a direction that intersects at right angles to the axis along the longitudinal direction of the air outlet portion 22. As a result, the noise of the blower BW that enters the intake duct D from the air outlet 12 and propagates through the air derivation unit 22 becomes a reflected sound in the opposite direction after being reflected by the reflection wall 26, and again the air derivation unit 22. The inside is reflected to the blower BW side. Accordingly, the noise propagating to the air suction port 10 side can be reduced.

そして、空間部24の延出長、すなわち空気吸引部20の端部から反射壁26までの距離Xは、送風装置BWから発生する騒音のうち、特に人間が不快に感ずる周波数である1,500〜4,000Hzの騒音を効果的に低減することを前提として設定してある。具体的には、後述する本願発明者が行なった実験結果に基づき、距離Xは15〜30mmの範囲で設定されるようになっている。すなわち、空気吸引部20の端部から反射壁26までの距離Xを15〜30mmに設定することにより、送風装置BWから発生する1,500〜4,000Hzの騒音を反射壁26で反射させ、空気吸引口10への音の漏出を低減させることが可能となる。   The extension length of the space 24, that is, the distance X from the end of the air suction unit 20 to the reflection wall 26 is a frequency that is particularly uncomfortable for humans among noises generated from the blower BW. It is set on the premise that noise of ˜4,000 Hz is effectively reduced. Specifically, the distance X is set in the range of 15 to 30 mm based on the results of experiments conducted by the inventor described later. That is, by setting the distance X from the end of the air suction unit 20 to the reflection wall 26 to 15 to 30 mm, the noise of 1,500 to 4,000 Hz generated from the blower BW is reflected by the reflection wall 26, Sound leakage to the air suction port 10 can be reduced.

図3〜図10は、本願発明者が実施した実験の結果を纏めたグラフであって、図1に例示した本実施例の吸気ダクトD(長さL2=60mm)に関し、空気吸引部20の端部から反射壁26との距離Xを夫々変更させた場合の、空気吸引口10における各周波数毎の音圧レベルを、図15に例示した従来の吸気ダクトD1の各周波数毎の音圧レベルと比較したものである。また表1は、これらの実験データを纏めて表記したものである。すなわち、空気導出部22の長さL2=60mmに設定したもとで、図3は距離X=5mmに設定した場合、図4は距離X=10mmに設定した場合、図5は距離X=15mmに設定した場合、図6は距離X=20mmに設定した場合、図7は距離X=25mmに設定した場合、図8は距離X=30mmに設定した場合、図9は距離X=35mmに設定した場合、図10は距離X=40mmに設定した場合の各周波数の音圧レベルを示したグラフである。   3 to 10 are graphs summarizing the results of the experiment conducted by the inventor of the present application, and relate to the intake duct D (length L2 = 60 mm) of the present embodiment illustrated in FIG. The sound pressure level for each frequency in the air suction port 10 when the distance X from the end portion to the reflection wall 26 is changed is the sound pressure level for each frequency of the conventional intake duct D1 illustrated in FIG. It is compared with. Table 1 summarizes these experimental data. 3 is set to the distance X = 5 mm, FIG. 4 is set to the distance X = 10 mm, and FIG. 5 is set to the distance X = 15 mm. 6 is set to a distance X = 20 mm, FIG. 7 is set to a distance X = 25 mm, FIG. 8 is set to a distance X = 30 mm, and FIG. 9 is set to a distance X = 35 mm. FIG. 10 is a graph showing the sound pressure level of each frequency when the distance X is set to 40 mm.

距離X=5mmに設定した場合では、図3に例示したように、従来の吸気ダクトD1と比較して、1,500Hz〜4,000Hzを含む全ての周波数帯域において音圧レベルの低下が殆ど見られない。これは、送風装置BWの騒音の殆どが低減されることなく空気吸引口10の側へ到来してしまうことを意味するものであり、空間部24および反射壁26を設けた効果が少ないことを示している。   In the case where the distance X is set to 5 mm, as illustrated in FIG. 3, as compared to the conventional intake duct D1, there is almost no decrease in sound pressure level in all frequency bands including 1,500 Hz to 4,000 Hz. I can't. This means that most of the noise of the blower BW comes to the air suction port 10 side without being reduced, and that the effect of providing the space 24 and the reflection wall 26 is small. Show.

距離X=10mmに設定した場合では、図4に例示したように、従来の吸気ダクトD1と比較して、500Hz〜1,000Hz、1,500Hz〜2,000Hzおよび3,00Hz以上の周波数帯域において音圧レベルの若干の低下が確認できる。しかしながら、2,500Hz前後では音圧レベルが全く低下していない。これは、1,500Hz〜4,000Hzにおける中間の騒音が全く低減されないことを意味するものであり、1,500Hz〜4,000Hzの騒音の平均的な低減が図られないことを示している。   In the case where the distance X is set to 10 mm, as illustrated in FIG. 4, in the frequency band of 500 Hz to 1,000 Hz, 1,500 Hz to 2,000 Hz, and 3,000 Hz or more, as compared to the conventional intake duct D1. A slight decrease in the sound pressure level can be confirmed. However, the sound pressure level does not decrease at all at around 2500 Hz. This means that intermediate noise at 1,500 Hz to 4,000 Hz is not reduced at all, and average reduction of noise at 1,500 Hz to 4,000 Hz cannot be achieved.

距離X=15mmに設定した場合では、図5に例示したように、従来の吸気ダクトD1と比較して、500Hz〜1,000Hzおよび1,500Hz〜4,000Hzの周波数帯域において、音圧レベルが好適に低下していると評価できる。特に、3,000Hz〜4,000Hzの周波数帯域では音圧レベルが6dB程度も低下しており、この周波数帯域の騒音を効率的に低減し得ることが確認できる。   When the distance X is set to 15 mm, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the sound pressure level is higher in the frequency bands of 500 Hz to 1,000 Hz and 1,500 Hz to 4,000 Hz than the conventional intake duct D1. It can be evaluated that it has decreased suitably. In particular, in the frequency band of 3,000 Hz to 4,000 Hz, the sound pressure level is reduced by about 6 dB, and it can be confirmed that noise in this frequency band can be efficiently reduced.

距離X=20mmに設定した場合では、図6に例示したように、従来の吸気ダクトD1と比較して、500Hz〜1,000Hzおよび1,500Hz〜4,000Hzの周波数帯域において、音圧レベルが好適に低下していると評価できる。特に、2,400Hz〜3,500Hzの周波数帯域、すなわち3,000Hz前後では音圧レベルが8dB程度も低下しており、この周波数帯域の騒音を効率的に低減し得ることが確認できる。   When the distance X is set to 20 mm, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the sound pressure level is higher in the frequency bands of 500 Hz to 1,000 Hz and 1,500 Hz to 4,000 Hz than the conventional intake duct D1. It can be evaluated that it has decreased suitably. In particular, in the frequency band of 2,400 Hz to 3,500 Hz, that is, around 3,000 Hz, the sound pressure level is reduced by about 8 dB, and it can be confirmed that noise in this frequency band can be efficiently reduced.

距離X=25mmに設定した場合でも、図7に例示したように、従来の吸気ダクトD1と比較して、500Hz〜1,000Hzおよび1,500Hz〜4,000Hzの周波数帯域において、音圧レベルが好適に低下していると評価できる。特に、2,000Hz〜3,000Hzの周波数帯域では音圧レベルが7dB程度も低下しており、この周波数帯域の騒音を極めて効率的に低減し得ることが確認できる。   Even when the distance X is set to 25 mm, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the sound pressure level is higher in the frequency bands of 500 Hz to 1,000 Hz and 1,500 Hz to 4,000 Hz than the conventional intake duct D1. It can be evaluated that it has decreased suitably. In particular, in the frequency band of 2,000 Hz to 3,000 Hz, the sound pressure level is reduced by about 7 dB, and it can be confirmed that noise in this frequency band can be reduced extremely efficiently.

距離X=30mmに設定した場合では、図8に例示したように、従来の吸気ダクトD1と比較して、500Hz〜1,000Hzおよび1,500Hz〜3,500Hzの周波数帯域において、音圧レベルが好適に低下していると評価できる。特に、1,700Hz〜2,500Hzの周波数帯域では音圧レベルが7〜10dB程度も低下しており、この周波数帯域の騒音を極めて効率的に低減し得ることが確認できる。   When the distance X is set to 30 mm, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the sound pressure level is higher in the frequency bands of 500 Hz to 1,000 Hz and 1,500 Hz to 3,500 Hz than the conventional intake duct D1. It can be evaluated that it has decreased suitably. In particular, the sound pressure level is reduced by about 7 to 10 dB in the frequency band of 1,700 Hz to 2500 Hz, and it can be confirmed that noise in this frequency band can be reduced extremely efficiently.

距離X=35mmに設定した場合では、図9に例示したように、従来の吸気ダクトD1と比較して、500Hzおよび800Hz前後、そして2,000Hz前後の周波数帯域において、音圧レベルが好適に低下していると評価できる。特に、2,000Hz前後の周波数帯域では、音圧レベルが10dB以上も大幅に低下している。しかしながら、2,300Hz以上の周波数帯域では音圧レベルが殆ど低下しておらず、これ以上の周波数帯域の騒音の低減には効果がないことから、1,500Hz〜4,000Hzの周波数帯域の騒音を低減させることを前提とした場合には不適当と判断せざるを得ない。   When the distance X is set to 35 mm, the sound pressure level is suitably reduced in the frequency bands of about 500 Hz and about 800 Hz, and about 2,000 Hz as compared to the conventional intake duct D1, as illustrated in FIG. You can evaluate that you are doing. In particular, in the frequency band around 2,000 Hz, the sound pressure level is greatly reduced by 10 dB or more. However, since the sound pressure level is hardly lowered in the frequency band of 2,300 Hz or higher, and there is no effect in reducing the noise in the higher frequency band, noise in the frequency band of 1,500 Hz to 4,000 Hz. If it is premised on reducing this, it must be judged as inappropriate.

距離X=40mmに設定した場合では、図10に例示したように、従来の吸気ダクトD1と比較して、1,500Hz〜2,000Hzの周波数帯域において、音圧レベルが好適に低下していると評価できる。しかしながら、2,300Hz〜4,000Hzの周波数帯域では音圧レベルがむしろ増加してしまっている。従って、1,500Hz〜4,000Hzの周波数帯域の騒音を低減させることを前提とした場合は不適当と判断される。   When the distance X is set to 40 mm, as exemplified in FIG. 10, the sound pressure level is suitably reduced in the frequency band of 1,500 Hz to 2,000 Hz as compared to the conventional intake duct D1. Can be evaluated. However, the sound pressure level has rather increased in the frequency band of 2,300 Hz to 4,000 Hz. Accordingly, it is determined to be inappropriate when it is assumed that noise in the frequency band of 1,500 Hz to 4,000 Hz is reduced.

以上の実験結果から、人間が不快に感ずる周波数(1,500〜4,000Hz)の騒音を効果的かつ平均的に低減することを前提とした場合、空間部24の延出長、すなわち空気吸引部20の端部から反射壁26までの距離Xは、10mm〜30mmの範囲内、好ましくは15mm〜30mmの範囲内に設定することが望ましいことが判明した。そして、距離X=15mmに設定した場合には3,000Hz〜4,000Hzの周波数帯域、距離X=20mmに設定した場合には2,400Hz〜3,500Hzの周波数帯域、距離X=25mmに設定した場合には2,000Hz〜3,000Hzの周波数帯域、距離X=30mmに設定したでは1,700Hz〜2,500Hzの周波数帯域の騒音を効率的に低減し得ることが確認できた。このことから、1,500〜4,000Hzの範囲において、高い周波数帯域の騒音をより重点的に低減させたい場合は、距離Xを15mm〜30mmの範囲内において小さめに設定することが望ましく、また低い周波数帯域の騒音をより重点的に低減させたい場合は、距離Xを15mm〜30mmの範囲内において大きめに設定することが望ましいといえる。   From the above experimental results, when it is assumed that noise of a frequency (1,500 to 4,000 Hz) that humans feel uncomfortable is effectively and averagely reduced, the extension length of the space portion 24, that is, air suction. It has been found that the distance X from the end of the portion 20 to the reflecting wall 26 is desirably set within a range of 10 mm to 30 mm, preferably within a range of 15 mm to 30 mm. When the distance X is set to 15 mm, a frequency band of 3,000 Hz to 4,000 Hz is set. When the distance X is set to 20 mm, a frequency band of 2,400 Hz to 3,500 Hz is set to a distance X = 25 mm. In this case, it was confirmed that noise in the frequency band of 2,000 Hz to 3,000 Hz and the frequency band of 1,700 Hz to 2,500 Hz can be efficiently reduced when the distance X is set to 30 mm. For this reason, it is desirable to set the distance X to a small value within the range of 15 mm to 30 mm in order to reduce the noise in the high frequency band more seriously within the range of 1,500 to 4,000 Hz. When it is desired to reduce noise in a low frequency band more seriously, it can be said that it is desirable to set the distance X to be larger within a range of 15 mm to 30 mm.

図11は、空気吸引部20の端部から反射壁26までの距離Xを変更調整可能とした構造の吸気ダクトDを示したものである。すわち吸気ダクトDは、空気吸引部20および空気導出部22からなる本体30と、前述した反射壁26を形成して該本体30とは別体のスライド体32とから構成され、このスライド体32が本体30に対してスライド可能に装着されている。従って、スライド体32を適宜に必要に応じてスライドさせて距離Xを15mm〜30mmの範囲内で調整すれば、低減対象の周波数帯域を変更することが可能となる。   FIG. 11 shows an intake duct D having a structure in which the distance X from the end of the air suction unit 20 to the reflection wall 26 can be changed and adjusted. In other words, the intake duct D is composed of a main body 30 composed of the air suction part 20 and the air lead-out part 22 and a slide body 32 that forms the reflection wall 26 described above and is separate from the main body 30. 32 is slidably attached to the main body 30. Therefore, if the slide body 32 is appropriately slid as necessary and the distance X is adjusted within a range of 15 mm to 30 mm, the frequency band to be reduced can be changed.

図12は、前述した反射壁26を、例えば金属板やガラス板等、吸気ダクトDの材質よりも高密度の部材34から形成した構造の吸気ダクトDを示したものである。図1に例示した吸気ダクトDは、高密度ポリエチレン(HDPE)から形成されているため、この材質で反射壁26を形成すれば騒音を充分に反射させることは可能であるが、前述の高密度の部材34で反射壁26を形成した場合には、騒音の反射効率をより高めることができる。特に、高密度ポリエチレンとは異なる低密度の材質から吸気ダクトDを形成した場合には、この部材34を装着することが有効となる。なお図11では、空間部24に臨む内側に部材34を配設した場合を例示しているが、この部材34を外側に配設するようにしてもよい。   FIG. 12 shows the intake duct D having a structure in which the reflection wall 26 described above is formed from a member 34 having a higher density than the material of the intake duct D, such as a metal plate or a glass plate. Since the intake duct D illustrated in FIG. 1 is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), if the reflecting wall 26 is formed of this material, it is possible to sufficiently reflect noise. When the reflection wall 26 is formed by the member 34, the noise reflection efficiency can be further increased. In particular, when the intake duct D is formed from a low-density material different from high-density polyethylene, it is effective to mount this member 34. FIG. 11 illustrates the case where the member 34 is disposed on the inner side facing the space 24, but the member 34 may be disposed on the outer side.

更に図13は、空間部24を形成する壁部を、反射壁26の方向へ拡開的に形成した吸気ダクトDを例示したものである。これにより反射壁26の面積が、空気導出部22の有効断面積よりも大きくなっているため、ダクト内を伝播して反射壁26へ到来した騒音のより効率的な反射を期待できる。   Further, FIG. 13 illustrates an intake duct D in which a wall portion forming the space portion 24 is formed so as to expand in the direction of the reflection wall 26. As a result, the area of the reflection wall 26 is larger than the effective cross-sectional area of the air outlet 22, so that more efficient reflection of noise that has propagated through the duct and arrived at the reflection wall 26 can be expected.

また図14は、空気吸引部20の端縁から夫々異なる距離X1,X2,X3に設定された複数の反射領域36,38,40有した多段状の反射壁26を形成した吸気ダクトDを例示したものである。この場合、例えば反射領域36の距離X1=15mm、反射領域38の距離X2=20mm、反射領域40の距離X3=30mm等に設定すれば、夫々の反射領域36,38,40毎に異なる周波数帯域の騒音を効果的に反射させるようになるため、広い周波数帯域の騒音を低減することが可能となる。なお、図7では3段に形成した場合を例示したが、この段数はこれに限定されるものではない。   FIG. 14 illustrates an intake duct D in which a multistage reflecting wall 26 having a plurality of reflecting regions 36, 38, and 40 set at different distances X1, X2, and X3 from the edge of the air suction unit 20 is formed. It is a thing. In this case, for example, if the distance X1 of the reflection region 36 is set to 15 mm, the distance X2 of the reflection region 38 is set to 20 mm, the distance X3 of the reflection region 40 is set to 30 mm, etc., different frequency bands for the respective reflection regions 36, 38, 40. Therefore, it is possible to reduce noise in a wide frequency band. In addition, although the case where it formed in three steps was illustrated in FIG. 7, this number of steps is not limited to this.

このように本実施例の吸気ダクトDでは、空気吸引部20に臨む空気導出部22の他端部に、送風装置BW側とは反対側へ延出するよう空間部24を設けると共に、この空間部24を構成する壁部の一部から形成された反射壁26を空気導出部22の軸線と交差するように設けたことにより、空気送出口12を介して空気導出部22内を伝播する送風装置BWの騒音を反射させることで、空気吸引口10へ伝播する該騒音を好適に低減させ得る。従って、この吸気ダクトDを実施したシート空調システムACでは、乗員が着座したシートSの側部上方に該吸気ダクトDの空気吸引口10が臨んでいても、送風装置BWから発せられた不快な騒音がダクト内で好適に低減されて該空気吸引口10から漏れ出さないなめ、当該乗員に不快を与えることを好適に防止し得る有益な効果を奏する。そして、図9に例示した従来の吸気ダクトD1のような吸音シートWを内部に貼り込む必要がなくなり、該吸気ダクトDの有効断面積が減少しないので、通気抵抗の上昇を防止すると共に風量が確保される。更に、吸気ダクトDの成形時に反射壁26が一体的に形成されるので、材料費および工数が増加することがなく、よって成形コストが嵩まない。   As described above, in the intake duct D of the present embodiment, the space 24 is provided at the other end of the air outlet 22 facing the air suction part 20 so as to extend to the side opposite to the blower BW side. Air that propagates through the air outlet 22 through the air outlet 12 by providing the reflecting wall 26 formed from a part of the wall constituting the portion 24 so as to intersect the axis of the air outlet 22 The noise propagating to the air suction port 10 can be suitably reduced by reflecting the noise of the device BW. Therefore, in the seat air conditioning system AC in which the intake duct D is implemented, even if the air suction port 10 of the intake duct D faces above the side portion of the seat S on which an occupant is seated, the unpleasant sensation emitted from the blower BW Noise is suitably reduced in the duct so as not to leak out from the air suction port 10, and there is a beneficial effect that can preferably prevent discomfort to the passenger. And it is no longer necessary to paste a sound absorbing sheet W like the conventional intake duct D1 illustrated in FIG. 9 and the effective cross-sectional area of the intake duct D is not reduced. Secured. Further, since the reflecting wall 26 is integrally formed when the intake duct D is formed, the material cost and the man-hour are not increased, and the forming cost is not increased.
