Description
- This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application 10-2005-0104008 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Nov. 1, 2005, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle, and more particularly to a louver structure of an air conditioner for a bus, by which a passenger can control the direction and the amount of cooling air discharged from an air conditioner of a bus according to his or her desire.
- Generally, a vehicle has an air conditioner for circulating, filtering and keeping air flowing in the interior and exterior of the vehicle at a constant temperature. The air conditioner includes a blower for sucking in air from the interior or exterior of the vehicle and for heating or cooling the air so as to discharge the air, and an air duct and defroster for circulating the air from the blower.
- A damper is installed at an exit of the air duct so as to isolate a nozzle and an air passage for controlling the amount of cooling air or heated air, while a refrigerator or heater is connected to an entrance of the air duct so as to cool or heat the air.
- Further, it is common for louvers of the air conditioner connected to the duct to be installed over windows on passenger buses.
- The louvers of the air conditioner discharge the cooling air to the passengers who sit while the air conditioner mounted in the vehicle operates to supply the cooling air through the duct of the air conditioner.
- The louvers of the air conditioner are installed to a lower surface of the duct of the air conditioner for a bus and have respective ports for supplying the cooling air to the cabin of the bus, to which louver housings are rotatably mounted.
- Each of the louver housings has a structure in that a pair of wings and a control knob for operating the wings are installed in the louver housing. Each wing has a hemispheric shape.
- In the conventional louver structure of the air conditioner as described above, the discharging direction of the blowing air can be converted according to the necessity of the passenger which gets on the bus.
- That is, the control knob is operated to control a rotation angle of the wings, thereby controlling the amount of the blowing air and rotating the louver housing in a desired direction in which the passenger wants to rotate the louver housing.
- However, the conventional louver structure of the air conditioner has a problem in that the cooling air is discharged from the louver only in a vertically downward direction, so that a cooling area is limited.
- The cooling air is discharged to a place at which the louver is installed, so as to continue to refrigerate the place, while the cooling air is not discharged to a place at which the louver is not installed. Thus, there arises difference of cooling effect between the places, resulting in inefficient cooling performance in the cabin of the vehicle.
- Further, since the cooling air discharged to the passengers comes in direct contact with their bodies, the cooling air has the potential to badly affect the health of a baby, a child, and an old man when the baby, child and old man are exposed to the cooling air for a long time. Meanwhile, as the passengers are continuously exposed to the cooling air, there remains the disadvantage that the passengers are exposed to the vehicle's unpleasantness until the vehicle arrives at its destination.

FIG. 1 ) formed in thelouver body 10 by way of the duct of the air conditioner installed in the vehicle. - Hereinafter, an operation of the louver structure of the air conditioner for the bus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with relation to the case where the cooling air is discharged through the thru-
holes 12 in the vertically downward direction. - Referring to
FIG. 3A , when the passengers rotatably operate thecontrol portion 42 of theknob 40 under the condition that the cabin in the vehicle is not cooled yet even though the cooling is performed in the vehicle, theair control plate 20 is rotated in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction by the latchingprotrusions 46 which are formed on thecontrol portion 42 and engaged with the latchinggrooves 21 a of theair control plate 20. - As the
air control plate 20 rotates in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, the firstair discharging holes 22 a of the firstair discharging portion 22 formed in theair control plate 20 are aligned with the thirdair discharging holes 32 a of the secondair discharging portion 32 formed in theair control housing 30 while the secondair discharging holes 22 b is misaligned with the fourthair discharging holes 32 b, so as to discharge the cooling air through the first, second, third, andfourth holes - The first
air discharging holes 22 a of the firstair discharging portion 22 are aligned with the thirdair discharging holes 32 a of theair control housing 30, but the secondair discharging holes 22 b are misaligned with the fourthair discharging holes 32 b. Thus, the cooling air supplied from the duct passes through the thru-holes 12 (seeFIG. 1 ) of thelouver body 10, which in turn passes through the first and thirdair discharging holes - The cooling air passing through the first and third
air discharging holes FIG. 1 ) of theknob 40. - Since the
housing portion 44 has the hemispheric shape in order for the cooling air to be diffusively discharged, the cooling air introduced into thehousing portion 44 is discharged through the plurality of through-holes 44 a in the vertically downward direction as indicated by arrows. - In this state, when the
control portion 42 is finely rotated in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, the firstair discharging holes 22 a come in misalignment with the thirdair discharging holes 32 a in proportional to the rotation of thecontrol portion 42, thereby controlling the amount of the cooling air discharged into thehousing portion 44. - Accordingly, if a large amount of the cooling air is discharged in the vertically downward direction and comes in direct contact with bodies of the passengers, the passengers can control the amount of the cooling air to the desired extent.
- The supporting
plate 48 formed on thecontrol portion 42 operates in the state of being in contact with the lower surface of theair control housing 30 in order for the latchingprotrusions 46 to stably operate without a separation form the latching grooves 21 (seeFIG. 1 ) of theair control plate 20, during the rotation of thecontrol portion 42. - On the other hand, hereinafter, an operation of the louver structure of the air conditioner for the bus according to the present invention will be described in the case where the passengers are uncomfortable because of the directly discharged cooling air in the vertically downward direction.
- Referring to
FIG. 3B , when the passengers using thelouver 10 in the state ofFIG. 3A rotate thecontrol portion 42, the latchingprotrusions 46 formed on thecontrol portion 42 are engaged with the latching grooves 21 (seeFIG. 1 ) of theair control plate 20 so as to rotate theair control plate 20 in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. - As the
air control plate 20 rotates in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, the first and secondair discharging holes air discharging portion 22 formed in theair control plate 20 are aligned with or misaligned with the third and fourthair discharging holes air discharging portion 32 formed in theair control housing 30 so that the cooling air is discharged in the horizontal direction. - That is, the first
air discharging holes 22 a are misaligned with the thirdair discharging holes 32 a while the secondair discharging holes 22 b is aligned with the fourthair discharging holes 32 b, so that the cooling air supplied from the duct passes through the thru-holes 12 (seeFIG. 1 ) of thelouver body 10, the secondair discharging holes 22 b, and the fourthair discharging holes 32 b. - The cooling air passing through the second and fourth
air discharging holes guide portion 64 of the aircontrol conversion portion 60 installed to theair control housing 30, flows along theguide portion 64, and then is discharged in the horizontal direction as indicated by arrows ofFIG. 3B . - In this state, when the
control portion 42 is finely operated, the secondair discharging holes 22 b come in the misalignment with the fourthair discharging holes 32 b to the extent that thecontrol portion 42 is rotated, thereby controlling the amount of the cooling air which is discharged to theguide portion 64. - Accordingly, the cooling air is discharged in the horizontal direction, so that direct flow onto the bodies of the passengers is reduced.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an operation of the louver structure of the air conditioner for the bus when the cooling air is discharged through the thru-
holes 12 in the vertically downward and horizontal directions by the passengers getting on the vehicle will be described. - Referring to
FIG. 3C , in order to discharge the cooling air in the horizontal and vertically downward directions, thecontrol portion 42 is rotated. In the state that the firstair discharging holes 22 a are aligned with the thirdair discharging holes 32 a, when thecontrol portion 42 is finely controlled so that the secondair discharging holes 22 b are aligned with the fourthair discharging holes 32 b, the firstair discharging holes 22 a are partially aligned with the thirdair discharging holes 32 a. - When the first
air discharging holes 22 a are partially aligned with the thirdair discharging holes 32 a, the secondair discharging holes 22 b also are partially aligned with the fourthair discharging holes 32 b, thereby making it possible to discharge the cooling air in the vertically downward and horizontal directions. - In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, an operation of the louver of the air conditioner for the bus when all the first and second air discharging portions are closed because the passengers getting on the vehicle do not want the discharge of the cooling air anymore will be described with reference to drawings.
- Referring to
FIG. 3D , in the case where the passengers do not want the discharge of the cooling air anymore, when thecontrol portion 42 is rotated in the clockwise or counterclockwise directions, the first and secondair discharging holes FIG. 1 ) are misaligned with the third and fourthair discharging holes - The above-mentioned operation makes the cooling air to be hardly discharged through the thru-holes 12 (see
FIG. 1 ) of thelouver body 10 in any direction. - In
FIGS. 3C and 3D , thehousing portion 44 provided to theknob 40 is not shown with convenience for description. - As described above, the louver structure of the air conditioner for the bus according to the present invention has an advantage in that the passengers can control the desired amount of the cooling air to be discharged from the duct of the air conditioner in the desired direction.
- Furthermore, when the passengers do not want the cooling air to be in direct contact with their bodies, it is possible to convert the direction of discharging the cooling air in an alternate direction, particularly the horizontal direction. Also, there is an advantage of improving a cooling effect in the cabin of the vehicle.
- While a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
