Description

[Detailed description of the invention] a. Industrial application field This invention relates to an air outlet for an air conditioner for an automobile.

b. Prior Art The air outlet structure of a conventional automobile air conditioner is, for example, shown in Figs.
(Refer to Publication No. 167802). In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an air outlet grille, in which a right vent 2 and a left vent 3 are engaged with the back side of a base 4, and leg portions 5 protrude to engage with an instrument panel (not shown) or the like. Reference numeral 6 denotes a shutter mechanism provided on the right side vent 2 and the left side vent 3 (only the left side vent 3 is shown in the figure), and has an adjustment device such as a knob or a dial (not shown) on the front side of the base 4. . Further, 7 is a bifurcated duct formed in the air outlet ports 7a, 7b so as to surround and engage with the openings 2a, 3a of the right and left vents 2, 3, respectively.

However, in such a conventional air outlet structure, the outlet ports 7a and 7 of the duct 7 are required to distribute the wind to the right side vent 2 and the left side vent 3.
b has to be divided into two prongs, and since the two air outlets 7a and 7b are fitted at the same time, the workability of inserting the duct 7 into the vents 2 and 3 deteriorates, and the mold-cutting angle θ is usually 1.5°. The problem was that the cross-sectional area became smaller.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 3, if an air distribution guide plate 9 is provided inside the duct 8 and the air outlet branches 8a and 8b, in addition to fitting it into the right and left vents 2 and 3, the arrangement is necessary. This requires the work of arranging the wind guide plate 9 inside the duct 8, leading to an increase in cost.

c. Purpose of the invention In view of the conventional example, the present invention aims to distribute air to the left and right without impairing the cross-sectional area of the duct, and to facilitate the connection between the duct and the vent.

d. Structure of the invention In order to achieve this purpose, in an air outlet structure consisting of an air outlet grill to which a plurality of vents are fixedly installed and a duct engaged with the vents, the vents have an air distribution function. The air outlet structure of the automobile air conditioner is characterized by being fixed by a connecting member with a slope formed on it.Just by inserting the duct into the vent of the grille, the air blown out from inside the duct is divided by the slope of the connecting member. Being done,
The air is blown out from the grill.

e Example This invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

FIGS. 4 and 5 are diagrams showing an embodiment of this invention. Components that are the same as or equivalent to those shown in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanation will be omitted.

First, the structure will be described. Reference numeral 10 denotes an air outlet grill, in which a right vent 2 and a left vent 11 are engaged with the rear side of the base 4. A connecting member 12, which also has an air distribution function, is integrally formed with the left vent 11, and is fixed to a mounting boss 13 provided on the vent 2 with a screw 14. The inclined surfaces 12a,
The duct 15 has an air outlet 15.
The opening 11a of the left vent 11 is elongated so that it can be inserted from the outside of the vents 2 and 11. ...

Because of this configuration, when inserting the duct 15 into the left and right vents 2, 11,
Since the connecting member 12 on the 11 side has the same configuration as a single vent, it is easy to fit in. Also, since the connecting member 12 also serves as an air distribution function, the air distribution guide plate 9 like the duct 8 becomes unnecessary.

f Effect As explained above, according to this invention,
The workability of inserting the duct into the vent of the air outlet grill is improved, and the cross-sectional area is not impaired, so there is no reduction in the amount of air. Furthermore, the cost can be reduced by omitting the air distribution guide of the duct.

Furthermore, since the vents are fixed together by the connecting member, even if a force is applied that changes the distance between both vents, the base 4 can be prevented from deforming into an arched shape unlike conventional vents. can get.
