Description

A device for supplying cold or warm air to a car seat {APPARATUS FOR SENDING COLD OR HOT AIR TOWARD AN AUTOMOBILE SEAT}

The present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying cold or warm air to an automobile chair, and more particularly, to an automobile chair capable of greatly improving the driver's driving comfort by allowing the cold or warm air supplied into a vehicle to be supplied from the driver's chair. A device for supplying cold or warm air.

In general, automotive air conditioners are installed to ensure safe and comfortable driving of cars, and cold or warm air exchanged by such air conditioners is usually carried out through a cold / heat outlet to the room. Supplied to the car interior to perform cooling or heating.

In addition, since a separate wind direction adjusting means for adjusting the wind direction is provided at the exit of the cold and warm air, the driver may be directly or indirectly affected by the cold or warm air.

However, since such cold or warm air is generally released into the atmosphere of a car interior, parts of the body in contact with the chair, ie, the back and hips of the body, are hardly affected by cold or warm air.

Accordingly, especially in the hot summer season, a lot of sweat was generated in the part of the body, which caused the driver's discomfort. In particular, in order to dry sweaty clothes and parts of the body, the driver had to move his body frequently while driving, thereby increasing the risk of a car accident.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to significantly improve the driver's driving comfort by supplying the cold or warm air exchanged by the automotive air conditioning system to the body part in contact with the chair. The present invention provides a device for supplying cold or warm air to an automobile chair.

The cap is characterized in that it is mounted to one end of the third tube located in the seat of the chair and the one end of the fourth tube located in the back of the chair such that the annular protrusion is exposed and secured to the seat and the back of the chair.

Preferably, the flow regulating means may be an inhaler equipped with a valve or a suction fan, and the third and fourth tubes located in the seat of the chair may be corrugated tubes made of rubber.

According to the present invention, since cold or warm air is supplied to the chair, the driver can improve driving comfort.

The above objects, advantages and other features will become apparent from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments)

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is an overall structural diagram showing a device for supplying cold or warm air to the automobile chair of the present invention, Figure 2 is an enlarged view of A of Figure 1, Figure 3 is an enlarged view of A of Figure 1 used as another example, 4 is an enlarged view of B of FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the cap.

As shown in Fig. 1, a device for supplying cold air or warm air to an automobile chair of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as a "cold and warm air supply device") 1 is provided by a warmer or cooling unit exchanged by a heater unit. The first pipe (5) connected to the cold and warm air outlet chamber (3) for discharging the exchanged cold air into the vehicle interior, and the supply flow rate of the cold or warm air introduced through the first pipe (5) Flow control means (ie a valve or fan mounted inhaler) 7. Reference numeral 2 denotes cold and warm air outlets formed in the cold and warm air outlet chamber 3, and reference numerals 4 and 6 denote respective oviducts connected to the cold and warm air outlet room 3, respectively. ) And cold pipe (冷 氣管) is shown.

Thereafter, another second tube 9 is connected to the flow rate adjusting means 7, and the second tube 9 is connected to a corrugated tube 30 that enables the movement of the chair (see FIG. 2). It is preferable that the corrugated pipe 30 is a rubber material. Here, the second pipe 9 and the corrugated pipe 30 are provided in the longitudinal direction of the seat 20 seat 20a.

Another third tube 10 is connected to the corrugated tube 30, and the third tube 10 is connected to the second tube 9 so that one end thereof is positioned in the seat 20a of the chair 20. Further, a fourth tube 13 whose one end is located in the backrest 20b is further connected to the third tube 10 positioned in the seat 20a of the chair 20. Here, the fourth tube 13 is preferably located in the chair 20 as a whole.

On the other hand, the second tube (9) can be made to serve as the above-described corrugated tube (30). That is, as shown in FIG. 3, first, the second pipe 9 is formed integrally with a large diameter pipe 9a and a small diameter pipe 9b having different diameters, and in particular, small The diameter of the landscape 9b is formed smaller than the diameter of the third pipe 10. Thereafter, when the large diameter tube 9a of the second tube 9 is connected to the flow rate adjusting means 7 and the small diameter tube 9b of the second tube 9 is inserted into the third tube 10, 2 pipes (9) play the same role as the corrugated pipe (30). Here, the length of the chair is longer than the moving distance of the chair 20 so that the small-diameter tube (9b) of the second tube (9) inserted into the third tube (10) is not separated from the third tube (10). desirable. The chair 20 is moved in the length of the small diameter pipe 9b by this.

In the cold and warm air supply device 1 of the present invention having such a structure, the third tube 10 and the fourth tube 13 located in the seat of the chair 20 is used for cushioning the chair 20. It is preferable that the material is a corrugated pipe made of rubber, and the first pipe 5 connected to the cold and warm air outlet chamber 3 is different from the tube 4 and the cold pipe 6, respectively. It can be a mold tube.

On the other hand, one end of the third tube 10 and the fourth tube 13 located in the chair 20 to prevent the inflow of foreign matter (for example, scraps of hair, hair, etc.) from the outside, while fixing the position cap 15 is mounted (see Fig. 4).

The cap 15 is tubular, as shown in FIG. 5, mounted on one end face thereof, and a plurality of fasteners 19 formed to protrude from the end where the net 17 is located. Consists of an annular projection 18 comprising a. This cap 15 is formed of the third tube 10 and the fourth tube 13 positioned in the chair 20 such that the annular protrusion 18 is exposed to the seat 20a and the backrest 20b of the chair 20. The cap 15 is mounted on one end, and then, for fixing the position, the cap 15 is secured to the seat 20a and the back 20b of the chair 20 using fixing means penetrating the fixing hole 19, for example, bolts and nuts. Stick to.

Therefore, the cold or warm air is the chair (through the first tube 5, the flow control means 7, the second tube 9, the corrugated tube 30, and the third tube 10 and the fourth tube 13). 20), and thus cold or warm air is also supplied to the body part in contact with the chair (20).

As described above, since the device for supplying cold or warm air to the chair of the present invention is supplied with cold or warm air to the chair, the driver's driving comfort is maximized.
