Description

Air outlet structure of vehicle air conditioner.

The present invention relates to an air conditioner of an automobile, and more particularly, to an air discharge port structure of an air conditioner of an automobile which can directly discharge cool / hot air according to the taste of a driver or a passenger by flexibly forming an air outlet connected to a front seat flow duct. It is about.

In general, the air conditioner of a vehicle is a device for giving a pleasant feeling to a passenger by riding the temperature and humidity according to various changes of the surroundings and the environment of the air appropriately to draw fresh air outside the car window It is divided into a ventilator for changing the temperature, a heater for maintaining a high temperature in the cabin, and an air conditioning for maintaining a low temperature in the cabin.

FIG. 1 is a layout view illustrating a structure of an air conditioner of a vehicle which is commonly used. The operation process of the air conditioner is as follows.

The blower fan 10 rotates by driving the blow fan motor, and the inside and outside air flows into the main duct 14 through the inside and outside air inlets according to the degree of opening and closing of the intake door 12. The inside and outside air then passes through an evaporator 16 and is then discharged to the heater core 18 side. Thereafter, the air is separated into air that passes through the heater core 18 and air that does not pass, depending on the degree of opening and closing of the air mix door 20. Thereafter, the air passing through the heater core 18 and the first air are mixed again, and then flow along the main duct 14. The air 100 then flows along the main duct 14 and is supplied to the vent duct 24 when the vent door 22 is opened. Subsequently, the air 100 is discharged into the vehicle cabin through the side ventilator and the center ventilator (not shown). At this time, when the defroster door 26 is opened, the air 100 is supplied toward the defroster duct 28. The air 100 is then discharged into the cabin through the side defroster and the front defroster.

Thereafter, the air 100 continues to flow along the main duct 14 and the foot door 30 is opened and the air 100 is supplied to the passenger seat flow duct 32 and the driver seat flow duct 34 and the rear seat flow duct 36. Subsequently, the air 100 is discharged to the passenger's foot through the discharge port of the passenger seat flow duct 32 and the air 100 is discharged to the driver's foot through the discharge hole of the driver's seat flow duct 34.

However, in the air conditioner device configured as described above, a conventional air discharge port connected to the front seat flow duct and for discharging warm air or cold air toward the driver of the driver or passenger seat is always located in a fixed state. Because of this, it takes a long time to adjust the air temperature in the cabin according to the taste of the driver or the passenger, as well as the knee stiffness, especially in winter.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an air discharge port of the vehicle air conditioner that can be freely moved to suit the taste of the driver or the passenger by flexibly forming the air discharge port from which cold air or warm air is discharged.

In order to achieve the above object, the air discharge port structure of the vehicle air conditioner of the present invention has an air discharge port connected to a front seat flow duct through which cold air or warm air flows, and discharges the air toward the driver's seat or the passenger seat, and the air discharge port It is characterized in that the flexible is formed to bend freely at a predetermined angle.

1 is a layout view showing a structure of an air conditioner device in the air conditioner of a vehicle in general.

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of air discharged to the driver's seat or the passenger seat through the air discharge port through the front seat flow duct in the cabin according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the structure of the air discharge port is flexibly deformed according to the driver's seat or the passenger's preference according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the present invention, if a detailed description of related known functions or configurations may obscure the subject matter of the present invention, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of air discharged to the driver's seat or the passenger seat through the air discharge port passing through the front seat flow duct in the cabin according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the structure of the air discharge port is flexibly deformed according to the driver's seat or the passenger's preference according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the air outlet according to the embodiment of the present invention is assembled at the end of the driver's seat flow duct 34 or the passenger seat flow duct 32. The air discharge port 50 is formed in a bellows shape with an extended curved flexible 52 that is bent at a predetermined angle. The flexible 52 allows the driver or the front passenger to move the air outlet 50 freely. At this time, the flexible 52 may be formed of a plurality of wrinkles to be bent in stages. A handle 56 is attached to one end of the air outlet 50. The handle 56 is convenient when the driver or the passenger seat passenger wants to change the position of the air outlet 50. In addition, a plurality of louvers 58 are attached to the inside of the end of the air discharge port 50. The barb 58 controls the flow of air discharged into the cabin.

According to the above configuration, when the air conditioner system is turned on, as described with reference to FIG. 1, cool air is supplied to the driver's seat flow duct 34 and the passenger seat flow duct 32. Cold air is then exhausted into the cabin through the air outlet 50 to cool the feet of the driver or passenger seat occupant.

Then, when the driver (passenger occupant) wants to cool the air toward the knee (leg), first, the driver (passenger) grabs the handle 56 of the air outlet port and pulls it toward the front, so that the air outlet 50 is driven by the expandability of the flexible 52. It is located towards the knee of the passenger passenger. The cold air then cools the driver's knees. At this time, even if the driver (passenger) grasps the handle 56 and moves the air outlet 50 at will, the air outlet 50 is not damaged due to the expandability of the flexible 52.

Here, in the present specification, only the air conditioner of the air conditioner of the vehicle has been described with an embodiment, the structure of the air discharge port of the present invention can perform the same function and effect in the heating device.

As described above, since the air outlet structure of the vehicle air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention is flexibly formed in a bellows shape, the air outlet may be freely moved to suit the taste of the driver or the passenger seat occupant. Accordingly, within a short time, the cold / warm can be concentrated in the desired body part of the driver or the passenger seat occupant, and in particular, there is an effect of preventing the knee rim of the driver or the passenger seat occupant in winter.
