【Example】

 <First Embodiment> A first embodiment of the vehicle cooling / heating device of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a housing of a vehicle cooling / heating device of a first embodiment of the present invention is attached to a duct, and FIG. 2 is a front view of a vehicle cooling / heating device of a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a vehicle cooling / heating device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, a duct air supply port 8 is a receiving port for an air flow sent from an air conditioner (not shown). The air flow from the air conditioner supplied from the duct air supply port 8 is supplied to the room from the outlets 2, 3 and 4 on the front side through a damper (not shown) in a predetermined direction. It Further, the air is supplied from the discharge port 5 (the discharge port on the right side in FIG. 1 is not shown) to the room through a damper or the like not shown via the ducts 6R or 6L arranged on the left and right. The ends of the ducts 6R and 6L arranged on the left and right are connected to the left and right openings 11R and 11L of the housing 10. The housing 10 is a bottomed, substantially rectangular parallelepiped-shaped container having an opening that serves as an entrance 12 for articles. A discharge port portion 13 is also formed on the back surface of the housing 10, that is, on the front side of the vehicle. The front discharge port 13 discharges the airflow from the air conditioner to the front window 50 side of the vehicle. The structure having the duct air supply port 8, the front discharge ports 2, 3 and 4, the ducts 6R or ducts 6L disposed on the left and right, and the discharge port 5 is a resin-molded book in a divided state. The duct structure 1 of the embodiment is constructed.

A lower cushioning base 20 having a substantially rectangular plate shape is disposed on the bottom surface of the housing 10, and a holding body 21 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape is disposed on the lower cushioning base 20. .. Both the lower cushioning base 20 and the holding body 21 are made of open-cell urethane foam, and each has elasticity, and innumerable continuous spaces are formed in the inside, so that it has sufficient air permeability. The front-rear dimension and the left-right dimension of the holding body 21 are set to be slightly larger than the front-rear dimension and the left-right dimension inside the housing 10, and the holding body 21 is pushed into the housing 10 from above with some deformation and the With the lower cushioning base 20 sandwiched between the bottom surface and the bottom surface, the lower cushioning base 20 is prevented from being detached from the housing 10.

The holding body 21 is provided with three holding holes 22 each having a circular cross-section in the vertical direction, and the lower opening of each holding hole 22 is closed by the lower buffer base 20. The opening on the upper side of the hole 22 faces the inlet / outlet 12 in the housing 10, and the can juice 30 can be inserted from above through the inlet / outlet 12. As shown in FIG. 3, the inner diameter d of each holding hole 22 is set to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter D of the can juice 30 having an inner volume of 350 mml which is the target of the vehicle cooling and heating apparatus of this embodiment. The juice 30 is inserted in a press-fit state while expanding the inner diameter d of the holding hole 22, and the elastic force of the holding body 21 restrains the upward disengagement. In addition, the upper portion of the can juice 30 after insertion projects from the holding hole 22, and the upper portion can be gripped and removed from the holding hole 22.

The upper opening of each holding hole 22 may be chamfered or formed into an R shape so that the can juice 30 can be easily inserted into the holding hole 22.

FIG. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view showing a state in which the vehicle cooling / heating device of the first embodiment of the present invention is mounted on a vehicle.

As shown in the figure, the duct structure 1 is installed in a dashboard 40 such as a bulldozer which is provided in the front of the vehicle. An opening / closing lid 43 is provided on the dashboard 40 so as to correspond to the entrance / exit 12 of the duct structure 1, and the entrance / exit 12 of the housing 10 is opened or closed according to the opening / closing of the opening / closing lid 43. A substantially rectangular plate-shaped upper cushioning base 44 made of open-cell urethane foam is fixed to the inner surface of the opening / closing lid 43, and the upper cushioning base 44 is spaced from the can juice 30 in the housing 10 at a predetermined interval. It is located directly above.

The outlet 13 of the duct structure 1 faces the front window 50 of the vehicle, and this outlet 13 is normally closed by a valve 42, so that the inner surface of the front window 50 has high humidity. When fogging is caused by the above, the valve 42 is opened, and the airflow of the air conditioner supplied into the housing 10 through the openings 11R and 11L is discharged to the front window 50. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the openings 11R and 11L and the housing 10 are partitioned by the holding body 21, but since the holding body 21 has air permeability, the air flow passes through the holding body 21. Then, it easily flows into the housing 10 and is discharged to the front window 50 as described above.

The air flow passing through the holding body 21 causes some pressure loss, and the discharge amount to the front windshield 50 is reduced. Therefore, for example, the holding body 21 is bypassed and the opening 11R. 11L and the inside of the housing 10 may be provided with a bypass passage, and the air flow may be sent into the housing 10 through the bypass passage without passing through the holding body 21.

The vehicle cooling / heating device of this embodiment having the above-described configuration can be used as follows.

The opening / closing lid 43 attached to the dashboard 40 at normal times is closed, and the air flow from the air conditioner passes through the holding body 21 through the openings 11R and 11L and enters the dashboard 40. It is full and its internal temperature fluctuates according to the temperature setting of the air conditioner.For example, in the summer, the temperature is kept below the outside air temperature by cooling, and in the winter, it is kept above the outside air temperature by heating. It

When it is desired to cool or heat the canned juice 30, the opening / closing lid 43 is opened and the required number of canned juices 30 are inserted into the holding holes 22 of the holding body 21 of the housing 10 from above. Then, push the bottom of the can juice 30 until it contacts the lower buffer base 20. At this time, the can juice 30 is inserted in a press-fitted state while expanding the inner diameter d of the holding hole 22, and therefore the elastic force of the holding body 21 restrains the upward separation. Then, by closing the opening / closing lid 43 attached to the dashboard 40 in this state, the canned juice 30 can be cooled when the air conditioner is cooled and the canned juice 30 can be heated when heated. This cooling or heating is possible as long as the air conditioner is operating, that is, as long as the driver is working.

When the cooled or heated canned juice 30 is used for a beverage, the opening / closing lid 43 is opened, the upper part of the canned juice 30 is gripped and released from the holding hole 22, and taken out into the vehicle. .. As described above, the operation of storing and extracting the canned juice 30 in the cooler / cooler requires only opening / closing the opening / closing lid 43 and forcibly inserting or removing the canned juice 30 into / from the holding hole 22 of the holder 21. It can be done very easily.

It should be noted that most of the surface of the can juice 30 held in the holding hole 22 is in close contact with the holding body 21 and the lower buffer base 20. Since the base 20 has air permeability, the can juice 30 is cooled or heated at an efficiency that is not so different from the case where the entire surface is exposed, because the base 20 is subjected to the cooling and heating effects of the air flow even in the close contact portion.

Further, when the canned juice 30 is stored in or taken out from the cooling / heating device, it is considered that an article placed on the dashboard 40, such as a cigarette or a lighter, may fall into the housing 10. As described above, the inside of the housing 10 is partitioned by the holder 21 from the openings 11R and 11L, so that these articles may not enter the duct structure 1 as foreign matter through the openings 11R and 11L. Prevented in advance.

On the other hand, a special vehicle such as a bulldozer in which the cooling / heating device is installed often travels on a bad road, and therefore vibrations applied to the cooling / heating device during traveling are considerably large. Here, as described above, the canned juice 30 contained in the cooling / heating device is inserted into the holding hole 22 of the holding body 21 in a press-fitted state and is restrained by the elastic force of the holding body 21. The upward disengagement from the holding hole 21 is reliably prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the canned juice 30 from colliding with a surrounding member, for example, the inner surface of the housing 10 to generate noise, and collide with the inner surface of the opening / closing lid 43, which is opened and closed by the impact. It is prevented that the lid 43 is opened to jump into the vehicle.

In addition, even if unexpectedly excessive vibration is applied and the can juice 30 separates upward from the inside of the holding hole 22 without directly colliding with the inner surface of the opening / closing lid 43, Since the impact is reduced by colliding with the upper cushioning base 44 fixed to the inner surface, the opening / closing lid 43 is reliably prevented from opening.

Further, this cooling / heating device can be used as a cup holder if the opening / closing lid 43 of the dashboard 40 is opened. Since the canned juice 30 is held by the elastic holder 21 and the lower cushioning base 20 without directly contacting the housing 10, the vibration applied as the vehicle travels is reduced, and the can opener 30 is opened. There is also an advantage that troubles such as juice overflowing from the later can juice 30 can be prevented.

In the vehicle cooling / heating device of this embodiment, the inner diameter d of the holding hole 22 of the holding body 21 is set on the assumption that the can juice 30 has a size of 350 mm1, and therefore, a smaller diameter of 250 mml is used. When the canned juice is inserted into the holding hole 22, a gap is formed around the canned juice and the canned juice collides with the inner surface of the holding hole 22 and the lower buffer base 20 due to vibration. However, even in such a case, since the holding body 21 and the lower cushion base 20 have elasticity, no noise is generated, and the cooling / heating device without any vibration countermeasure described in the prior art is applied. Compared with, it has sufficient advantages in terms of noise prevention.

As described above, the vehicle cooling / heating device according to the first embodiment described above has the duct 6R of the duct structure 1 serving as a passage for the air flow delivered from the air conditioner mounted on the vehicle and supplied to the interior of the vehicle. 6L and the housing 10 in which the air flow in the ducts 6R and 6L is freely arranged, and the housing 10 is provided with an openable and closable opening / closing lid 43 which serves as an inlet / outlet for the juice 30 of the can. As a result, a holding hole 22 having a circular cross section, which is elastic and breathable, and whose inner diameter d is set to be smaller than the outer diameter D of the can juice 30 is formed, and the can juice 30 is pressed into the holding hole 22. The holding body 21 that can be inserted in the state.

Therefore, the can juice 30 when stored in the cooling / cooling device is restrained from being separated from the inside of the holding hole 22 by the elasticity of the holding body 21, so that the vibration of the vehicle collides with surrounding members. As a result, noise is prevented from occurring, and it is also prevented that the vehicle collides with the inner surface of the opening / closing lid 43 and the impact causes the opening / closing lid 43 to open and jump into the vehicle. Therefore, these troubles can be reliably prevented and the product value can be dramatically improved.

Moreover, the operation of storing and extracting the canned juice 30 in the cooling / heating device is performed by simply opening and closing the opening / closing lid 43 and forcibly inserting or removing the canned juice 30 into the holding hole 22 of the holding body 21. Therefore, by taking measures against the jump of the canned juice 30 by the holding body 21, there is no possibility that the operability of the cooling / heating device is deteriorated, and it can be handled extremely easily.

Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment of the vehicle cooling / heating device of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of essential parts showing a state in which the vehicle cooling / heating device of the second embodiment of the present invention is mounted on a vehicle.

As shown in the figure, the overall structure of the vehicle cooling / heating apparatus of this embodiment is the same as that of the cooling / heating apparatus described in the first embodiment, except that the lower cushioning base 20 is omitted. There is a point. Therefore, the can juice 30 when stored in the cooler is inserted into the holding hole 22 of the holding body 21 in a press-fitted state, and the lower surface thereof comes into contact with the bottom surface of the housing 10.

Then, in the vehicle cooling / heating device configured as described above, similarly to the cooling / heating device of the first embodiment, the elastic force of the holding body 21 restrains the separation of the can juice 30 from the inside of the holding hole 22. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the can juice 30 from colliding with surrounding members to generate noise or to open the open / close lid 43 and jump out into the vehicle due to the vibration of the vehicle. Can be reliably prevented and the product value can be dramatically improved.

Moreover, the can juice 30 can be stored and taken out forcibly easily because it can be forcibly inserted into or removed from the holding hole 22 of the holder 21.

Third Embodiment Next, a third embodiment of the vehicle cooling / heating device of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 6 is a fragmentary sectional view showing a state in which the vehicle cooling / heating device of the third embodiment of the present invention is mounted on a vehicle.

As shown in the figure, the vehicle cooling / heating device of this embodiment has the same overall structure as that of the cooling / heating device described in the first embodiment. The upper buffer base 44 is at a point of pressing contact with the upper surface of the can juice 30. That is, the shape of the housing 10 has been slightly modified, and the storage position of the can juice 30 has been changed to the upper position. As a result, when the opening / closing lid 43 is closed, the upper cushioning base 44 is placed on the upper surface of the can juice 30. It is configured to press against. Therefore, the can juice 30 inserted into the holding hole 22 is not only held by the elastic force of the holding body 21, but also pressed against the upper cushioning base 44 from above, so that it is more reliably restrained from coming off upward. To be done.

As a result, similarly to the first and second embodiments, the vibration of the vehicle causes the can juice 30 to collide with surrounding members to generate noise, and the opening / closing lid 43 is opened to open the interior of the vehicle. It is possible to prevent sudden jumps, and to reliably prevent these problems and dramatically improve the commercial value of the product.

Moreover, since the canned juice 30 is stored and taken out only by forcibly inserting it into or removing it from the holding hole 22 of the holding body 21, it can be handled very easily.

Fourth Embodiment Next, a fourth embodiment of the vehicle cooling / heating device of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 7 is a plan view of an essential part showing a vehicle cooling / heating device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the overall configuration of the vehicle cooling / heating device of the present embodiment is the same as that of the cooling / heating device described in the first embodiment, and the difference is that the holding member 60 is formed on the holding body 60. It is in the shape of the hole 61. That is, the holding hole 61 of the present embodiment has a square cross section, and the ridges 61a extending in the vertical direction (the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in the drawing) are formed at the centers of the four sides thereof. In addition, the gap e1 between the opposing ridges 61a is set to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter D of the can juice 30. Then, the can juice 30 is inserted into the holding hole 61 while being compressed while compressing the protrusions 61a, and the upward disengagement is restricted by the elastic force of the holder 60 and the elastic force of the protrusions 61a themselves. It

As a result, similarly to the first to third embodiments, the vibration of the vehicle causes the can juice 30 to collide with surrounding members to generate noise, or the opening / closing lid 43 is opened to open the interior of the vehicle. It is possible to prevent sudden jumps, and to reliably prevent these problems and dramatically improve the commercial value of the product.

Moreover, since the can juice 30 is stored and taken out only by forcibly inserting it into or removing it from the holding hole 61 of the holding body 60, it can be handled very easily.

In the vehicle cooling / heating device of this embodiment, since the tip of the protrusion 61 a is only in close contact with the outer periphery of the can juice 30, most of the surface of the can juice 30 is exposed inside the housing 10. As a result, the air flow is cooled and heated. Therefore, the holding body 60 does not necessarily have to be made of an air-permeable open-cell urethane foam, and can also be made of a closed-cell urethane foam that does not have air-permeability but has elasticity.

<Fifth Embodiment> Next, a fifth embodiment of the vehicle cooling / heating device of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 8 is a plan view of essential parts showing a vehicle cooling / heating device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the overall configuration of the vehicle cooling / heating device of this embodiment is the same as that of the cooling / heating device described in the first embodiment, except for the difference that the holding member 70 is formed on the holding member 70. It is in the shape of the hole 71. That is, the holding hole 71 of this embodiment is not divided into a plurality of pieces for each can juice 30 to be inserted, but has a rectangular cross-section that extends in the entire longitudinal direction of the holding body 70. In addition, the gap e2 between the long sides of the holding hole 71 facing each other is set to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter D of the can juice 30. Then, the can juice 30 is inserted into the holding hole 71 in a press-fitted state while compressing the long side portion of the holding hole 71, and the upward separation is restrained by the elastic force of the holding body 70.

As a result, as in the first to fourth embodiments, the vibration of the vehicle causes the can juice 30 to collide with surrounding members to generate noise, and the opening / closing lid 43 is opened to open the interior of the vehicle. It is possible to prevent sudden jumps, and to reliably prevent these problems and dramatically improve the commercial value of the product.

Moreover, since the can juice 30 is stored and taken out only by forcibly inserting it into or removing it from the holding hole 71 of the holding body 70, it can be handled very easily.

By the way, the vehicle cooling / heating devices of the first to fifth embodiments are connected between the two ducts 6R and 6L of the duct structure 1, but in the case of implementing the present invention, However, the present invention is not limited to this, as long as the airflow from the air conditioner can be continuously flowed in to cool or heat the canned juice 30 or the like inside. Therefore, a large amount of air does not necessarily have to flow inside.

Further, the housing 10 of the vehicle cooling / heating device of the first to fifth embodiments described above has an opening at the upper end to serve as an entrance / exit for articles, but it is possible to open / close the entrance / exit for articles directly. Absent. That is, when the present invention is carried out, the entrance / exit of the article may be in an open state or may be opened / closed by a lid. In any case, it suffices to configure the entrance / exit of the article.

Further, the holders of the vehicle cooling / heating devices of the above-described first to fifth embodiments are made of open-cell urethane foam, and are constituted as holders 21, 60, 70 having elasticity and breathability. However, as long as it is elastic, an article such as can juice 30 can be prevented from separating from the holding holes 22, 61, 71. Therefore, as described in the fourth embodiment, it is also possible to manufacture the closed-cell urethane foam having no air permeability.

On the other hand, the holding holes of the vehicle cooling / heating devices of the first to fifth embodiments are vertically penetrated, and holding holes 22, 61 into which articles such as can juice 30 are inserted from above. , 71, but as described above in detail, the vehicle cooling / heating apparatus of the present invention utilizes the elastic force of the holders 21, 60, 70 to remove the canned juice 30 and other articles. Since it is restrained, even if the postures of the holding holes 22, 61, 71 are changed, no trouble occurs. Therefore, for example, the holding holes 22, 61, 71 may be obliquely or horizontally provided so that the article is inserted into the holding holes 22, 61, 71 obliquely from above or sideways. is there.
