JP 2006-341759 A

  However, in Patent Document 1, since the communication duct is simply connected to the air conditioning duct without any ingenuity, in some cases, it is pushed by the momentum of the conditioned air flowing in the air conditioning duct, May not be able to be introduced into the air conditioning duct. In order to solve this problem, it is conceivable to increase the size of the blower of the ion generator, but this is not desirable from the viewpoint of reducing the weight of the vehicle.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle air conditioner in which ions from the ion generator are introduced into the air conditioning duct through the communication duct. An object of the present invention is to reliably introduce ions from the ion generator into the air conditioning duct via the communication duct without increasing the size of the blower of the generator.

A first invention includes an air-conditioning duct, an ion generator that generates ions, and a communication duct that communicates the air-conditioning duct and the ion generator, and ions from the ion generator are passed through the communication duct. The vehicle air conditioner is adapted to be introduced into the air conditioning duct, and the air conditioning duct extends in the vehicle width direction and is arranged at the vehicle rear of an instrument panel member having both ends in the vehicle width direction attached to the left and right hinge pillars, respectively. The ion generating device is provided below the air conditioning duct, and the communication duct is curved to communicate the air conditioning duct and the ion generating device behind the instrument panel member in the vehicle. The air conditioning duct is formed with a curved portion, and the air conditioning duct is formed from an air conditioning unit disposed at the center in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle. The curved portion is formed by curving toward the vehicle rear after extending outward in the vehicle width direction, and the communication duct is curved toward the vehicle front after extending from the ion generator to the vehicle rear. A curved portion is formed , connected to an inner peripheral side of the curved portion as a negative pressure generating portion of the air conditioning duct, and is disposed adjacent to a portion extending rearward of the vehicle in the air conditioning duct. It is a feature.

  Thereby, since the communication duct is connected to the negative pressure generating part of the air conditioning duct, ions from the ion generator are sucked into the air conditioning duct through the communication duct by the negative pressure generated in the negative pressure generating part. Therefore, ions from the ion generator can be reliably introduced into the air conditioning duct via the communication duct without increasing the size of the blower of the ion generator.

  Moreover, since the negative pressure generating part is used on the inner peripheral side of the curved part of the air conditioning duct, the ion from the ion generator is used by using the inner peripheral side of the curved part without separately providing the negative pressure generating part in the air conditioning duct. Can be reliably introduced into the air conditioning duct.

  Moreover, since the ion generator is arrange | positioned under the air-conditioning duct, the serviceability of an ion generator can be improved.

Moreover , since the curved part is formed in the part near the downstream end of an air-conditioning duct, the ion from an ion generator can be introduce | transduced into the inside of the part near the downstream end of an air-conditioning duct. Therefore, ions can be effectively blown into the passenger compartment.

According to a second aspect , in the first aspect , the curved portion of the air conditioning duct includes a first curved portion that curves to one side in the vertical direction, and a second curved portion that curves backward from the vehicle immediately after the first curved portion. The communication duct is connected to the inner peripheral side of the first bending portion.

  As a result, the bending portion of the air conditioning duct has a first bending portion that curves to one side in the up-down direction and a second bending portion that curves to the rear of the vehicle immediately after the first bending portion. A high negative pressure is generated on the inner peripheral side in the bending portion due to the negative pressure generated on the inner peripheral side in the second bending portion. And since the communication duct is connected to the inner peripheral side of the first bending portion, ions from the ion generator are reliably sucked into the air conditioning duct. Therefore, the ions from the ion generator can be more reliably introduced into the air conditioning duct.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, on the inner peripheral side of the curved portion of the air conditioning duct, there is a protrusion connected to the communication duct and a reinforcing rib continuous to the protrusion. It is characterized by being formed.

  Thereby, since the protrusion part to which a communication duct is connected and the reinforcement rib which continues to this protrusion part are formed in the inner peripheral side of the curved part of an air-conditioning duct, the rigidity of a protrusion part can be made high. .

According to a fourth invention, in any one of the first to third inventions, the ion generator is attached to the instrument panel member.

  As a result, the ion generator is attached to a highly rigid instrument panel member extending in the vehicle width direction and having both ends in the vehicle width direction attached to the left and right hinge pillars, respectively, so that the support rigidity of the ion generator can be increased. it can.

In a fifth aspect based on the fourth aspect , the instrument panel member is provided with an instrument panel member mounting bracket that extends downward from the instrument panel member and is attached to the hinge pillar. It is characterized by being attached to a bracket.

  According to the present invention, since the communication duct is connected to the negative pressure generating portion of the air conditioning duct, ions from the ion generator are sucked into the air conditioning duct via the communication duct by the negative pressure generated in the negative pressure generating portion. Accordingly, ions from the ion generator can be reliably introduced into the air conditioning duct via the communication duct without increasing the size of the blower of the ion generator.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle air conditioner 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention excludes the driver side air conditioning duct 20 connected to the air conditioning unit 10 and ions (for example, inside the passenger compartment R (see FIG. 2)). An ion generating device 30 that generates sterilization ions for sterilization) and a communication duct 40 that communicates the driver side air-conditioning duct 20 and the ion generating device 30 with ions from the ion generating device 30. Is introduced into the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20 through the communication duct 40. 1 denotes a passenger-side air conditioning duct having substantially the same configuration as the driver-seat-side air conditioning duct 20, and 51 denotes a first central side extending from the driver-seat-side air conditioning duct 20 to the rear of the vehicle (hereinafter simply referred to as the rear). An air conditioning duct 52 is a second central air conditioning duct extending rearward from the passenger seat air conditioning duct 50.

  The air conditioning unit 10 is a space (see FIG. 2) between the floor 53, the dash panel 54, and the instrument panel 55, and is disposed at the center in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle. The temperature of the air taken in is adjusted, and this air-conditioned air is sent into the passenger compartment R via the air-conditioning ducts 20, 50 to 52 by a blower (not shown) built in. .

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 to 7, the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20 is integrally formed with a mold having two upper and lower molds, and extends rearward from the air conditioning unit 10 after extending outward in the vehicle width direction. The air outlet 21 is bent and then extends rearward and upward, and an air outlet 21 is formed at the downstream end thereof and opens toward the vehicle interior R side. That is, the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20 is a so-called ben duct. Hereinafter, the curved portion of the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20 is referred to as a curved portion 22. Specifically, the bending portion 20 is bent backward (rightward in the vertical direction) and immediately behind the first bending portion 22a, that is, immediately downstream of the first bending portion 22a. And a second bending portion. That is, the bending portion 20 is bent downward and rearward. Moreover, the length of the part from the bending part 22 to the air outlet 21 among the driver's seat side air conditioning ducts 20 is shorter than the part from the air conditioning unit 10 to the bending part 22.

  The driver seat side air-conditioning protrudes rearward on the inner peripheral side of the first bending portion 22a, specifically, on the lower portion of the rear surface of the outer surface of the first bending portion 22a (in other words, the upstream portion of the bending portion 22). A cylindrical projection 23 that communicates with the inside of the duct 20 is integrally formed. The downstream end 40 a of the communication duct 40 is externally fitted and fixed to the protrusion 23. That is, the downstream end 40 a of the communication duct 40 is connected to the inner peripheral side of the first bending portion 22 a of the bending portion 22. On the inner peripheral side of the first bending portion 22a of the bending portion 22, reinforcing ribs 24 extending in the bending direction of the bending portion 22 are formed integrally with the both sides of the projection portion 23 in the vehicle width direction. This reinforcing rib 24 leaves the excess flash that protrudes when the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20 is molded.

  An instrument panel member 56 is disposed in the vicinity of the front of the vehicle (hereinafter simply referred to as the front) of the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20. The instrument panel member 56 extends in the vehicle width direction, and both ends in the vehicle width direction are attached to left and right hinge pillars (not shown) to support the instrument panel 55. An instrument panel member mounting bracket 57 extending downward from both ends in the vehicle width direction is disposed on the instrument panel member 56. The instrument panel member mounting brackets 57 are respectively attached to the left and right hinge pillars, and the lower ends thereof are respectively fixed to members 58 extending in the vehicle width direction below the instrument panel member 56. Hereinafter, the instrument panel member mounting bracket 57 refers to the one on the driver's seat side (the right side in FIG. 1). The instrument panel member mounting bracket 57 includes a side wall 57a extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction, a front wall 57b extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the front end of the side wall 57a, and from the rear end of the side wall 57a outward in the vehicle width direction. And an extending rear wall 57c.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 to 9, the ion generator 30 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, below the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20 (see FIG. 2) and near the front of the curved portion 22. It is bolted to the front wall portion 57b of the instrument panel member mounting bracket 57 via the brackets 31 and 32 on the outer surface in the vehicle width direction so as to be positioned. A blower (not shown) is fed into the driver seat side air conditioning duct 20 via the communication duct 40. Thus, since the ion generator 30 is arrange | positioned in the vicinity of the bending part 22, the length of this communication duct 40 can be shortened. And the ion generator 30 is assembled | attached from the front to the instrument panel member mounting bracket 57 of the instrument panel member 56 toward the last of the assembly of the vehicle air conditioner 1 with the communication duct 40 attached. At the time of this assembly, the downstream end 40 a of the communication duct 40 is connected to the protrusion 23 of the driver seat side air conditioning duct 20. Thus, since the ion generator 30 is attached to the last, it can suppress that the ion generator 30 hits something before the completion of the assembly of the vehicle air conditioner 1 and breaks down.

  The communication duct 40 is thinner than the driver-seat-side air conditioning duct 20, curves in a substantially U shape from the protrusion 23 of the driver-seat-side air conditioning duct 20, passes through the vicinity of the lower part of the curved part 22, and is an upstream end. 40 b is connected to a duct connecting portion 33 that protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the ion generator 30. The duct connecting portion 33 is attached to a bracket 59 extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the side wall portion 57a of the instrument panel member mounting bracket 57.

-Operation of vehicle air conditioners-
Hereinafter, the operation of the vehicle air conditioner 1 will be described. When the air conditioning unit 10 and the ion generator 30 are activated, the conditioned air from the air conditioning unit 10 flows through the air conditioning ducts 20, 50 to 52 and blows out from the air outlet 21 into the vehicle interior R. Among these air conditioning ducts 20, 50 to 52, in the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20, ions from the ion generator 30 are also circulated in the interior together with the conditioned air, and these are ejected into the passenger compartment R from the air outlet 21.

  By the way, inside the curved portion of the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20, the flow of conditioned air is fast on the outer peripheral side and slow on the inner peripheral side. Pressure is generated. That is, the inner peripheral side of the curved portion of the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20 constitutes a negative pressure generating portion. Here, in the bending portion 22 of the present embodiment, the first bending portion 22a that is bent downward is provided immediately before the second bending portion 22b that is bent backward, so that the inner peripheral side in the first bending portion 22a is provided. The high negative pressure is generated by the negative pressure generated on the inner peripheral side in the second bending portion 22b. Since the communication duct 40 is connected to the inner peripheral side of the first bending portion 22a, the communication duct 40 is generated by the high negative pressure generated by the ions from the ion generator 30 on the inner peripheral side of the first bending portion 22a. Is sucked into the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20.

-Effect-
As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the communication duct 40 is connected to the negative pressure generating portion of the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20, the ions from the ion generator 30 are generated by the negative pressure generated in the negative pressure generating portion. It is sucked into the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20 through the communication duct 40. Therefore, the ions from the ion generating device 30 can be reliably introduced into the driver seat side air conditioning duct 20 via the communication duct 40 without increasing the size of the blower of the ion generating device 30.

  Further, since the inner peripheral side of the curved portion 22 of the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20 is used as a negative pressure generating portion, the inner peripheral side of the curved portion 22 is not provided in the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20 separately. Utilizing this, ions from the ion generator 30 can be reliably introduced into the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20.

  Further, since the curved portion 22 is formed in a portion near the downstream end of the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20, ions from the ion generator 30 are introduced into a portion near the downstream end of the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20. be able to. Therefore, ions can be effectively blown into the passenger compartment R.

  Furthermore, since the bending portion 22 has a first bending portion 22a that curves downward and a second bending portion 22b that curves backward immediately after the first bending portion 22a, the first bending portion 22a. A high negative pressure is generated on the inner peripheral side due to the negative pressure generated on the inner peripheral side in the second bending portion 22b. Since the communication duct 40 is connected to the inner peripheral side of the first bending portion 22a, ions from the ion generating device 30 are reliably sucked into the driver seat side air conditioning duct 20. Therefore, the ions from the ion generator 30 can be more reliably introduced into the driver seat side air conditioning duct 20.

  Moreover, since the projection part 23 to which the communication duct 40 is connected and the reinforcing rib 24 continuous to the projection part 23 are formed on the inner peripheral side of the first bending part 22a of the bending part 22, the projection part 23 is formed. The rigidity of can be increased.

  Furthermore, since the ion generator 30 is attached to a highly rigid instrument panel member 56 that extends in the vehicle width direction and has both ends in the vehicle width direction attached to the left and right hinge pillars, the support rigidity of the ion generator 30 is increased. be able to.

  Furthermore, since the ion generator 30 is disposed below the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20, the serviceability of the ion generator 30 can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, the bending portion 22 is bent backward immediately after being bent downward, but may be bent backward immediately after being bent upward. Furthermore, it is not necessary to curve downward or upward immediately before bending backward. However, in order to reliably introduce ions from the ion generator 30 into the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20, it is desirable to curve downward or upward.

  In the present embodiment, the ion generator 30 is attached to the instrument panel member 56 via the instrument panel member mounting bracket 57. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be attached directly to the instrument panel member 56, for example.

On the inner peripheral side of the downstream portion 22c of the curved portion 22, more specifically, on the lower portion of the outer surface of the downstream portion 22c on the inner side in the vehicle width direction, a projecting portion 23 that projects obliquely rearward is integrally formed. ing. The downstream end 40 a of the communication duct 40 is externally fitted and fixed to the protrusion 23. That is, the downstream end 40 a of the communication duct 40 is connected to the inner peripheral side of the downstream portion 22 c of the bending portion 22.

  Three attachment portions 26 to which the ion generator 30 is attached in the vicinity of the curved portion 22 are integrally formed on the front side of the outer surface of the driver seat side air conditioning duct 20. A duct device 28 having an intermediate duct 27 to which the ion generating device 30 is connected is attached to a portion on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the attachment portion 26 on the front side of the outer surface of the bending portion 22.

  The ion generator 30 is bolted to the attachment portion 26 of the driver side air conditioning duct 20 via a bracket 34 on the rear surface. In the ion generator 30, a duct connecting portion 33 protrudes from the outer surface in the vehicle width direction. This duct connecting portion 33 extends rearward in the vehicle width direction from the ion generator 30 and then curves backward, and an insertion portion 33a made of urethane material (sponge material) is formed at the peripheral edge of the downstream end portion thereof. The upstream end portion 27a of the intermediate duct 27 is inserted and fixed to the insertion portion 33a. And the ion generator 30 is assembled | attached from the front to the attaching part 26 of the driver's seat side air conditioning duct 20 at the last of the assembly of the vehicle air conditioner 1.
