Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for controlling a wind direction of a vehicle,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a wind direction control device for a vehicle running wind, and more particularly, to a wind direction control device for a wind direction control device for a vehicle running wind, The present invention relates to a wind direction control device for a vehicle running wind capable of positively utilizing outside wind for air conditioning in a vehicle interior.

The indoor air of the vehicle is maintained at an appropriate temperature by the air conditioner so as to provide comfort to the passenger. The air conditioner of the vehicle uses the heat of the engine coolant or the heat supplied by the electric heater to increase the temperature of the air-conditioning air, or conversely, operates the air-conditioner to lower the temperature so as to appropriately adjust the temperature of the air-conditioning air. Especially, recently, automated HAVC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system has been widely applied, and it has become possible to precisely control temperature which reflects the influence of set temperature and sunlight.

In many cases, such a vehicle air conditioner can control the overall air conditioning condition of the vehicle interior to a satisfactory level, but it may be necessary to satisfy the occupant's desire to intensively provide wind to specific parts of the body, for example, the neck or shoulders And on the other hand, there is a limitation in that it is hardly considered to actively utilize the cool running wind generated when the vehicle is running in the indoor air conditioning. Especially, as a driver who lives in an oil-price era, trying to use a cool driving air to reduce the operation of the air conditioner which has a great adverse effect on driving fuel consumption, but the traveling wind is not a wind with controlled wind direction, To the extent that it is utilized.

For this reason, some supplementary devices have been introduced for supplying wind to a specific region or for directing the running wind, which is exemplified in the following Patent Documents 1 and 2.

Patent Literature 1 discloses a "device for blowing wind on the neck of a driver" of the public utility model 2010-0000756, in which a fan operated by a power source supplied from an automobile cigar jack is detachably mounted on a headrest, So as to cool the heat felt on the back of the seat by the back of the seat during driving.

Patent Document 2 discloses a "wind guide mechanism for vehicles" disclosed in Published Utility Model No. 2013-0006066, in which a wind introduced into a vehicle when a side window is opened is guided to a front seat through a wind guide portion to prevent moisture from being generated in the windshield The present invention relates to a wind guide device for a vehicle.

The public utility model 2010-0000756 (publicized on January 25, 2010) Public Utility Model No. 2013-0006066 (Published Oct. 21, 2013)

As seen from the above Patent Documents 1 and 2, various attempts have been made to solve the limitations of the air conditioner for automobiles.

However, an auxiliary device using a power source of a vehicle (for example, Patent Document 1) has a disadvantage that it adversely affects the fuel efficiency of the vehicle to a certain extent, is expensive, and is somewhat uncomfortable to mount. The wind induction device has an advantage in that the wind wind is used to prevent the moisture generation of the windshield, but the effect of improving the air conditioning environment of the vehicle interior is insufficient and the wind direction is fixed, There is a limit.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to allow a driver or an occupant to freely adjust a cool running wind in a desired direction through an inexpensive apparatus that can be simply mounted on a vehicle.

An air-direction control apparatus for a vehicle running wind according to the present invention is a device for controlling an air-direction of a vehicle running wind comprising: a pivot shaft formed at a corner of a planar or curved plate member; a wind direction adjusting plate including a spherical body provided on the pivot shaft; And a detachment means including a fixing portion for detachably fixing to a structure around a side window including a window frame or a window glass or a sun visor of the vehicle door.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the pivot axis forms one corner of the plate member, and a part of the plate material around the spherical body is cut out, so that interference between the plate material and the attaching / detaching means due to the rotation of the spherical body can be prevented .

And, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fixing portion is composed of the clamping means provided with the fixing force by the elastic force of the elastic body.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fixing portion is composed of a clip means which is fitted to the window frame of the vehicle door and is fixed by the elastic force of the window frame.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the spherical body is fixed so as to be able to rotate in all three-dimensional directions with respect to the spherical supporting portion.

Since the wind direction control device of the present invention having the above structure has a simple structure, it can be supplied at low cost, is easy to use due to a simple detachable structure, can effectively utilize the traveling wind for vehicle air conditioning, And energy savings can be achieved.
