JP6098762B2 - Wind direction control device for vehicle running wind - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a wind direction control device for a vehicle traveling wind, and more specifically, as a driver or a passenger desires the wind direction of traveling wind that flows into a room when a side window located on a side surface of the vehicle is opened during traveling of the vehicle. The present invention relates to a wind direction control device for a vehicle traveling wind that can actively utilize fresh outside wind for air conditioning in a vehicle interior by allowing the vehicle to be appropriately adjusted.

  The indoor air of the vehicle is maintained at an appropriate temperature that gives the passenger a comfortable feeling by the air conditioner. A vehicle air conditioner uses the heat of engine cooling water or heat supplied by an electric heater to raise the temperature of conditioned air, or on the contrary, by operating an air conditioner to lower the temperature, Adjust the temperature of the conditioned air appropriately. In particular, in recent years, an automated HAVC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system has been widely applied, and it has become possible to perform precise temperature control that comprehensively reflects the set temperature and the influence of solar radiation.

  In many cases, the vehicle air conditioner as described above can control the overall air conditioning in the vehicle cabin to a satisfactory level, but concentrates on specific parts of the body, such as the neck and shoulders. On the other hand, there is a limit that it is hardly considered to actively utilize the harsh traveling wind generated when the vehicle travels for indoor air conditioning. In particular, as a driver who lives in the high oil price era, he tries to use the harsh driving wind to reduce the operation of the air conditioner, which has a very bad influence on the driving fuel consumption, but the driving wind is not a wind with a controlled wind direction. Therefore, there is a distance from comfort, and it is only used for ventilation purposes.

  For this reason, some auxiliary devices for supplying wind to a specific part or for giving direction to traveling wind have been introduced. This is described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 below. As an example.

  Patent Document 1 is an “apparatus for giving wind to a driver's neck”, a fan that is operated by a power source supplied from a cigar jack of an automobile is detachably mounted on a headrest and concentrated on the driver's neck By giving the wind to the wind, the heat felt on the back part is cooled by the back of the sheets while driving.

  Patent Document 2 is a “car wind guidance mechanism” that guides the wind that flows into the vehicle when the side window is opened to the front seat through the wind guide, thereby preventing the windshield from generating moisture. The present invention relates to a vehicle wind guide mechanism.

  As can be seen from Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, there have been various attempts to solve the limitations of the vehicle air conditioner.

  However, the auxiliary device (for example, Patent Document 1) that uses the power source of the automobile not only adversely affects the fuel consumption of the vehicle to some extent, but also has a disadvantage that it is expensive and somewhat inconvenient to install. The wind guide mechanism for a vehicle such as 2 is advantageous in that the traveling wind is used to prevent the generation of moisture in the windshield, but the effect of improving the air conditioning environment in the vehicle interior itself is insufficient. Since the guide direction is fixed, there is a limit that traveling wind is supplied only in a specific direction.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to enable a driver or a passenger to freely adjust a desired traveling wind in a desired direction through an inexpensive device that can be easily mounted on a vehicle.

It is an assembly perspective view with respect to the wind direction control apparatus of FIG. It is a perspective view with respect to another structure of a fixing | fixed part among the wind direction control apparatuses of FIG. It is drawing which illustrated the use condition of the wind direction control apparatus of this invention.

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a wind direction control device 10 for traveling wind according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, and can be embodied in various forms different from each other, provided that the present embodiments complete the disclosure of the present invention and have ordinary knowledge. Is provided to fully inform the scope of the invention.

  FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view for explaining the structure of a wind direction control device for vehicle traveling wind according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the wind direction control device of FIG. 1 is assembled. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a wind direction control device 10 for a vehicle traveling wind according to the present invention is roughly divided into a wind direction adjusting plate 100 that serves to change the wind direction of traveling wind, and the wind direction adjusting plate 100. An attachment / detachment means 200 responsible for the function of fixing the posture of the wind direction adjusting plate 100 to be freely adjustable while being detachably fixed to a structure around the side window including a window frame of a vehicle door, a glass window, or a sun visor. Including.

  The wind direction adjusting plate 100 is composed of a plate member 110 having a flat surface or a curved surface, and the plate member 110 serves as a guide plate for the flow of the traveling wind, thereby adjusting the direction of the traveling wind.

  A rotation shaft 120 is formed at one corner of the plate member 110 of the wind direction adjusting plate 100, and a spherical body 130 is provided on the rotation shaft 120. The spherical body 130 will be described later. It is fixed in the spherical surface support part 210 of the attaching / detaching means 200.

  The attachment / detachment means 200 is provided on one side thereof with a spherical support portion 210 that is fixed so that the spherical body 130 provided on the rotation shaft 120 can freely rotate, and on the other side, there is a side window periphery. There is provided a fixing portion 220 that is detachably fixed to the structure.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the spherical body 130 on the rotation shaft 120 is fixed in the spherical support portion 210 of the attaching / detaching means 200 so as not to be separated by a normal force. It is freely pivotable while forming a contact surface with the support portion 210, and particularly preferably fixed so as to be freely pivotable in all three-dimensional directions. Therefore, the rotating shaft 120 connected to the spherical body 130 can also freely rotate, and the posture of the plate member 110 of the wind direction adjusting plate 100 including the rotating shaft 120 can be freely adjusted.

  On the other hand, the rotation shaft 120 formed at one corner of the plate member 110 has a portion (for example, an intermediate portion) provided with the spherical body 130 bent in a “∩” shape so that the plate member 110 can be attached and detached when the plate member 110 rotates. It is configured to be separated by a certain distance so that no interference occurs with 200. However, in such a case, the overall size of the wind direction control device 10 increases, and the spherical body 130 provided at the bent portion of the rotation shaft 120 becomes the rotation center, so that the moment due to the wind pressure of the traveling wind is generated. A situation may occur in which the wind direction adjusting plate 100 operates unexpectedly by operating greatly.

  Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the straight rotation shaft 120 forms one corner of the plate member 110, while the cutout portion 115 is formed in a part of the plate member 110 around the spherical member 130, so that the spherical member 130 is formed. A structure that prevents interference between the plate member 110 and the attaching / detaching means 200 due to the rotation is provided.

  And the fixing | fixed part 220 of the attachment / detachment means 200 with which the wind direction control apparatus 10 of this invention was equipped may be deform | transformed variously so that it may adapt to the structure and shape of the position to fix, the example is FIG.2 and FIG. 3.

  The fixing part 220 shown in FIG. 2 shows an example composed of the normally found nipper means 220-1 provided with a fixing force by the elasticity of an elastic body. The size and width of the nipper means 220-1 may be appropriately designed. Since the nipper means 220-1 has versatility as a fixing mechanism, the window frame of the vehicle door, the glass window, or the sun visor. Or the like.

  FIG. 3 particularly shows a clip means 220-2 in which its own elastic force acts as a fixing force as an example of the fixing portion 220 that is simply sandwiched between window frames of a vehicle door. The clip means 220-2 has a generally U-shaped cross section, but the inside of the clip means 220-2 is small enough to hold a structure sandwiched by the clip means 220-2 even if the inlet is narrow. The inlet structure that is elastically opened when the clip means 220-2 is sandwiched generates a fixing force.

  Such clip means 220-2 may also be designed in various shapes, but the clip means 220-2 of FIG. 3 is slightly bent at the outer end of the entrance so that it is between the door window frame and the vehicle body outer surface. An example is shown in which the inside of the entrance is opened and the inner side surface of the door window frame is pressed and fixed between the gaps.

  The wind direction control device 10 of the present invention having the above-described configuration can be used as shown in FIG. 4, but the attaching / detaching means 200 is fixed to the upper side of the door window frame, and the wind direction adjusting plate 100 is installed. By rotating the vehicle in a desired angle and direction, a cool wind can flow in the desired direction when the vehicle is traveling.

  Therefore, the wind direction control device 10 of the present invention has a simple structure, can be spread at low cost, is convenient to use due to a simple attachment / detachment structure, and can effectively travel wind. It can be used for air conditioning, and has various advantages such as having advantages in terms of passenger comfort and energy saving.

  As mentioned above, although it demonstrated with reference to drawings illustrated about the wind direction control apparatus 10 of the vehicle driving | running | working wind which concerns on this invention, this invention is not limited by the Example and drawing which were disclosed by this specification, and of this invention. Of course, various modifications can be made by ordinary engineers within the scope of the technical idea.
