[Solution] The discharge section (12) of an air discharge device has formed therein: a discharge opening (121) provided in the upper surface (701) of the instrument panel (70) of a vehicle and discharging air into the interior of the vehicle, the air having been delivered from a blower device; and a discharge passage (122) connected to the discharge opening. An air flow operation member (14) is disposed within the discharge passage. A discharge direction regulation member (16) is disposed downstream of the air flow operation member in the direction of flow of discharge air. A guide wall surface (123a) faces the discharge passage, is located on the rear side, with respect to the vehicle, of the discharge passage, and extends upward from below while bending toward the rear of the vehicle. The air flow operation member forms a rear passage (122a) as a part of the discharge passage, the rear passage (122a) being located behind, with respect to the vehicle, of the air flow operation member, and the air flow operation member throttles the flow of air flowing through the rear passage, thereby causing the air to flow along the guide wall surface. The direction of air discharged from the discharge opening is regulated relative to the vehicle width direction (DR3) by the discharge direction regulation member.

The air conditioning unit 20 functions as a blower that sends air to the air blowing device 10 with respect to the air blowing device 10. That is, the air blowing device 10 blows out air from the air conditioning unit 20.
 インストルメントパネル70は、上面701と図示しない正面部とを有している。インストルメントパネル70は、車室内のうち、その車室内の前方に設けられた計器盤である。インストルメントパネル70は、計器類が配置されている部分だけでなく、オーディオやエアコンを収納する部分を含む、車室内の前席(すなわち、運転席および助手席)の正面に位置するパネル全体を指している。 The instrument panel 70 has an upper surface 701 and a front portion (not shown). The instrument panel 70 is an instrument panel provided in front of the passenger compartment in the passenger compartment. The instrument panel 70 includes not only the part where the instruments are arranged, but also the entire panel located in front of the front seat (that is, the driver's seat and the passenger seat) in the vehicle interior, including the part that houses the audio and the air conditioner. pointing.
 図1と図2とに示すように、空気吹出装置10は、空調対象空間である車室内へ空調ユニット20から流出した空気を吹き出す吹出部12と、気流操作部材としての気流偏向ドア14と、吹出方向調整部材としての吹出方向調整ドア16とを備えている。図2は、図1のII-II断面図である。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the air blowing device 10 includes a blowing unit 12 that blows out air that has flowed out of the air conditioning unit 20 into a vehicle interior that is an air conditioning target space, an airflow deflecting door 14 that serves as an airflow operation member, A blow direction adjusting door 16 as a blow direction adjusting member is provided. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG.
 吹出部12には、空調ユニット20からの空気を車室内へ吹き出す吹出口121と、吹出通路122とが形成されている。その吹出口121には吹出通路122が連結されている。言い換えれば、その吹出口121は、吹出空気流れ方向における吹出通路122の下流側端縁でもある。その吹出空気流れ方向とは、吹出口121から吹き出される吹出空気の主流の流れ方向であり、その吹出空気流れ方向は、例えば吹出通路122内の気流偏向ドア14よりも上流側では図1および図2の矢印ARaのように上向きになっている。また、吹出空気流れ方向は、気流偏向ドア14よりも下流側では、気流偏向ドア14および吹出方向調整ドア16によって変化させられる。 The blowout part 12 is formed with a blowout port 121 through which air from the air conditioning unit 20 is blown into the vehicle compartment and a blowout passage 122. An outlet passage 122 is connected to the outlet 121. In other words, the outlet 121 is also the downstream edge of the outlet passage 122 in the outlet air flow direction. The blown air flow direction is the flow direction of the main flow of blown air blown from the blower outlet 121. The blown air flow direction is, for example, that shown in FIG. As shown by the arrow ARa in FIG. Further, the flow direction of the blown air is changed by the airflow deflecting door 14 and the blowing direction adjusting door 16 on the downstream side of the airflow deflecting door 14.
 吹出口121は、車両上下方向DR1において上側を向いて開口している。すなわち、吹出通路122のうち少なくとも吹出空気流れ下流側の下流端部は車両上下方向DR1に沿った向きの通路となっている。そして、吹出口121は、車両幅方向DR3を長手方向とした矩形形状を成している。なお、上記吹出空気流れ下流側とは吹出空気流れ方向の下流側であり、逆に、吹出空気流れ方向の上流側を吹出空気流れ上流側と言う。 The blower outlet 121 opens upward in the vehicle vertical direction DR1. That is, at least the downstream end portion of the blowout passage 122 on the downstream side of the blown air flow is a passage in a direction along the vehicle vertical direction DR1. And the blower outlet 121 has comprised the rectangular shape which made the vehicle width direction DR3 the longitudinal direction. In addition, the said blowing air flow downstream is the downstream of a blowing air flow direction, and conversely, the upstream of a blowing air flow direction is called blowing air flow upstream.
 また、吹出口121は、車室内に設けられたインストルメントパネル70の上面701のうち車両前方寄りに設けられている。要するに、吹出口121は、車室内に設置された不図示の運転席および助手席に対し車両前後方向DR2での前側(言い換えれば、車両前方側)に配置されている。そして、吹出口121が形成された吹出部12は、インストルメントパネル70の一部すなわち吹出口121周りの部分を構成している。 Further, the air outlet 121 is provided near the front of the vehicle on the upper surface 701 of the instrument panel 70 provided in the vehicle interior. In short, the air outlet 121 is disposed on the front side (in other words, the vehicle front side) in the vehicle front-rear direction DR2 with respect to a driver seat and a passenger seat (not shown) installed in the passenger compartment. And the blowing part 12 in which the blower outlet 121 was formed comprises a part of instrument panel 70, ie, the part around the blower outlet 121. As shown in FIG.
 吹出通路122は、空調ユニット20からの空気を吹出口121へ導く。この吹出通路122内の空気流れの向きに直交する吹出通路122の空気通路断面は、吹出口121と同様に車両幅方向DR3を長手方向とした矩形形状を成している。また、吹出通路122が上向きの吹出口121に連結しているので、一軸線としての吹出通路122の中心軸線CL1は、車両上下方向DR1に沿った向きになっている。なお、本実施形態の説明に用いられる「沿う」とは、例えば「AがBに沿う」という表現を例に説明すれば、AがBに完全に平行または一致することに限られない。その「沿う」とは、AがBに対して多少傾いていること、および、AとBとの相互間隔が多少不均一であることを含んだ意味である。 The blowout passage 122 guides the air from the air conditioning unit 20 to the blowout port 121. The cross section of the air passage 122 of the air outlet 122 perpendicular to the direction of the air flow in the air outlet 122 has a rectangular shape with the vehicle width direction DR3 as the longitudinal direction, like the air outlet 121. Further, since the blowout passage 122 is connected to the upward blowout port 121, the central axis CL1 of the blowout passage 122 as one axis is oriented along the vehicle vertical direction DR1. Note that “along” used in the description of the present embodiment is not limited to the case where A is completely parallel to or coincides with B if the expression “A is along B” is described as an example. The term “along” means that A is slightly inclined with respect to B and that the distance between A and B is somewhat uneven.
 また、吹出部12は、吹出通路122に面する通路内壁面123を有している。すなわち、吹出通路122は、その通路内壁面123に取り囲まれることで形成されている。 Further, the blowout part 12 has a passage inner wall surface 123 facing the blowout passage 122. That is, the outlet passage 122 is formed by being surrounded by the inner wall surface 123 of the passage.
 吹出部12は、その通路内壁面123のうちの一部分を、吹出口121から吹き出る空気を案内するガイド壁面123aとして有している。そのガイド壁面123aは、詳細には、通路内壁面123のうち、車両前後方向DR2の一方側(具体的には後側)に位置し且つ吹出口121の周縁部位124から吹出空気流れ上流側へ延設された部分である。 The blowout part 12 has a part of the inner wall surface 123 of the passage as a guide wall surface 123a for guiding the air blown out from the blowout port 121. Specifically, the guide wall surface 123a is located on one side (specifically, the rear side) of the vehicle front-rear direction DR2 in the passage inner wall surface 123 and from the peripheral portion 124 of the outlet 121 to the upstream side of the blown air flow. It is an extended part.
 そのガイド壁面123aは、上向きの吹出通路122を吹出空気流れ下流側ほど車両前後方向DR2での後側(言い換えれば、車両後方側)へ拡大させる形状を成している。詳細には、ガイド壁面123aは車両前後方向DR2での後側へ反った湾曲面で構成されている。すなわち、ガイド壁面123aは、吹出通路122側を凸側として、吹出通路122を吹出空気流れ下流側ほど後側へ拡大させるように湾曲している。要するに、ガイド壁面123aは、車両後方側に曲がりながら下から上に向かって延びている。なお、吹出通路122内を流れる吹出空気は矢印ARaのように吹出通路122の中心軸線CL1に沿って上向きに流れるので、本実施形態では、その吹出空気流れ下流側を車両上下方向DR1での上側と言い換えてもよい。 The guide wall surface 123a has a shape that expands the upward blowing passage 122 toward the rear side (in other words, the vehicle rear side) in the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2 toward the downstream side of the blown air flow. Specifically, the guide wall surface 123a is formed of a curved surface that warps rearward in the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2. That is, the guide wall surface 123a is curved so that the outlet passage 122 side is a convex side, and the outlet passage 122 is expanded toward the rear side toward the downstream side of the outlet air flow. In short, the guide wall surface 123a extends from the bottom to the top while bending toward the vehicle rear side. Note that since the blown air flowing in the blowout passage 122 flows upward along the central axis CL1 of the blowout passage 122 as indicated by the arrow ARa, in this embodiment, the blown air flow downstream side is the upper side in the vehicle vertical direction DR1. In other words.
 また、ガイド壁面123aは、インストルメントパネル70の上面701に連なるように形成されている。このガイド壁面123aは、吹出通路122に含まれる後方側通路122aから流出する高速気流をガイド壁面123aに沿わせて車両前後方向DR2での後側へガイドするためのものである。 Further, the guide wall surface 123a is formed to be continuous with the upper surface 701 of the instrument panel 70. The guide wall surface 123a is for guiding the high-speed airflow flowing out from the rear side passage 122a included in the outlet passage 122 to the rear side in the vehicle front-rear direction DR2 along the guide wall surface 123a.
 吹出部12はこのようにガイド壁面123aを有しているので、吹出口121から吹き出される吹出空気はガイド壁面123aに沿って流れれば、運転席または助手席に着座する乗員へ向かって吹き出される。その一方で、その吹出空気はそのガイド壁面123aに沿わなければ、吹出口121の開口方向である上側へと吹き出される。すなわち、その場合、吹出空気は、吹出口121に対し上側に設けられているフロントウインドウ72へ向かって吹き出される。 Since the blowing part 12 has the guide wall surface 123a in this way, if the blowing air blown out from the outlet 121 flows along the guide wall surface 123a, it blows out toward the occupant seated in the driver seat or the passenger seat. Is done. On the other hand, if the blown air does not follow the guide wall surface 123a, the blown air is blown to the upper side which is the opening direction of the blower outlet 121. That is, in that case, the blown air is blown out toward the front window 72 provided on the upper side with respect to the blower outlet 121.
 気流偏向ドア14は、図1および図2に示すように、吹出通路122内に配置されおり、気流偏向ドア14の作動は、不図示の制御装置から出力される制御信号によって制御される。気流偏向ドア14は吹出通路122内に配置されているので、吹出通路122の一部として2本の並列的な空気通路122a、122bを形成している。詳細には、気流偏向ドア14は、車両前後方向DR2において気流偏向ドア14に対し一方側である後側に位置する第1通路としての後方側通路122a(すなわち、一方側通路122a)を、吹出通路122の一部として形成している。それと共に、気流偏向ドア14は、車両前後方向DR2において気流偏向ドア14に対し他方側である前側に位置する第2通路としての前方側通路122b(すなわち、他方側通路122b)も、吹出通路122の一部として形成している。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the airflow deflection door 14 is disposed in the outlet passage 122, and the operation of the airflow deflection door 14 is controlled by a control signal output from a control device (not shown). Since the airflow deflecting door 14 is disposed in the blowing passage 122, two parallel air passages 122a and 122b are formed as a part of the blowing passage 122. Specifically, the airflow deflecting door 14 blows out a rear side passage 122a (that is, one side passage 122a) as a first passage located on the rear side that is one side with respect to the airflow deflecting door 14 in the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2. It is formed as a part of the passage 122. At the same time, the airflow deflector door 14 is also a front passage 122b (that is, the other passage 122b) as a second passage located on the front side that is the other side of the airflow deflector door 14 in the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2. Form as part of.
 気流偏向ドア14は車両幅方向DR3に沿った回動軸線CL3まわりに回動する板状の回動部材であり、要するに回動式のドアである。具体的に気流偏向ドア14は、回動軸線CL3を中心軸線とする偏向ドア回動軸141と、偏向ドア回動軸141からその径方向両側へ延設され偏向ドア回動軸141に固定された板ドア部142とを有している。 The airflow deflecting door 14 is a plate-like turning member that turns around the turning axis CL3 along the vehicle width direction DR3, and is a turning door in short. Specifically, the airflow deflector door 14 has a deflector door pivot shaft 141 centered on the pivot axis CL3, and extends from the deflector door pivot shaft 141 to both sides in the radial direction and is fixed to the deflector door pivot shaft 141. Plate door part 142.
 その板ドア部142は、車両幅方向DR3においては、例えば吹出通路122の全長に及ぶ長さとなっている。従って、板ドア部142は、車両幅方向DR3を長手方向とするように配置されている。そして、板ドア部142は例えば矩形の平板形状を成している。 The plate door portion 142 has a length that extends, for example, over the entire length of the outlet passage 122 in the vehicle width direction DR3. Therefore, the plate door part 142 is arrange | positioned so that the vehicle width direction DR3 may be made into a longitudinal direction. The plate door part 142 has, for example, a rectangular flat plate shape.
 また図1に示すように、気流偏向ドア14は、回動軸線CL3を中心とした回動角度に応じて、後方側通路122aの通路断面積および前方側通路122bの通路断面積をそれぞれ増減する。例えば、気流偏向ドア14は、その気流偏向ドア14の回動角度の変化により、後方側通路122aの通路断面積を増減する。気流偏向ドア14は、この気流偏向ドア14の回動に応じて後方側通路122aの通路断面積を変化させることにより、後方側通路122aの気流速度を増減するものである。 As shown in FIG. 1, the airflow deflection door 14 increases or decreases the passage cross-sectional area of the rear side passage 122 a and the passage cross-sectional area of the front side passage 122 b in accordance with the rotation angle about the rotation axis CL <b> 3. . For example, the airflow deflection door 14 increases or decreases the passage cross-sectional area of the rear-side passage 122a by changing the rotation angle of the airflow deflection door 14. The airflow deflection door 14 increases or decreases the airflow velocity of the rear passage 122a by changing the cross-sectional area of the rear passage 122a in accordance with the rotation of the airflow deflection door 14.
 具体的に言うと、気流偏向ドア14は、回動軸線CL3まわりに回動することで、吹出通路122の空気流れの状態を第1状態と第2状態とに選択的に切り替える。その第1状態では、気流偏向ドア14によって後方側通路122aの通路断面積が予め実験的に定められた面積閾値よりも小さくされる。これにより、コアンダ効果によりガイド壁面123aに沿って車室内へ吹き出される高速気流(すなわち、噴流)が後方側通路122aに形成されると共に、その高速気流よりも低速の低速気流が前方側通路122bに形成される。 More specifically, the airflow deflecting door 14 is selectively switched between the first state and the second state by rotating around the rotation axis line CL3. In the first state, the passage cross-sectional area of the rear side passage 122a is made smaller than the area threshold value experimentally determined in advance by the airflow deflecting door 14. As a result, a high-speed airflow (that is, a jet) blown into the vehicle interior along the guide wall surface 123a due to the Coanda effect is formed in the rear-side passage 122a, and a low-speed airflow slower than the high-speed airflow is generated in the front-side passage 122b. Formed.
 要するに、気流偏向ドア14は、吹出通路122の空気流れの状態を上記第1状態にした場合には、後方側通路122aを流れる空気の気流速度の応じて得られるコアンダ効果により、その後方側通路122aを流れる空気の流れをガイド壁面123aに沿わせる。また、その第1状態では、前方側通路122bの低速気流はコアンダ効果により後方側通路122aの高速気流に引き寄せられる。従って、このようにガイド壁面123aに後方側通路122aの空気流れが沿うことにより、吹出口121から吹き出される吹出空気は、車両前後方向DR2での後側へ曲げられて流出する。 In short, the airflow deflecting door 14 has its rear side passage formed by the Coanda effect obtained according to the airflow velocity of the air flowing through the rear side passage 122a when the state of the airflow of the blowout passage 122 is the first state. The flow of air flowing through 122a is caused to follow the guide wall surface 123a. In the first state, the low-speed airflow in the front-side passage 122b is attracted to the high-speed airflow in the rear-side passage 122a by the Coanda effect. Therefore, when the air flow in the rear side passage 122a follows the guide wall surface 123a in this way, the air blown out from the air outlet 121 is bent rearward in the vehicle front-rear direction DR2.
 一方で、吹出通路122の空気流れの上記第2状態とは、上記第1状態とは異なる気流が吹出通路122に形成される状態である。例えば、その第2状態では、後方側通路122aの通路断面積が上記第1状態のそれに比して拡大される。要するに、後方側通路122aを流れる空気の流れに対する絞り度合が緩くなる。これにより、第2状態では、後方側通路122aに形成される気流の流速が、第1状態のそれに比して低くなる。そして、その後方側通路122aの気流はガイド壁面123aには殆ど沿わず、吹出口121から吹き出される吹出空気は、吹出通路122の中心軸線CL1に沿って上向きに流出する。 On the other hand, the second state of the air flow in the blowing passage 122 is a state in which an air flow different from the first state is formed in the blowing passage 122. For example, in the second state, the passage cross-sectional area of the rear side passage 122a is enlarged as compared with that in the first state. In short, the degree of throttling with respect to the flow of air flowing through the rear passage 122a becomes loose. Thereby, in the second state, the flow velocity of the airflow formed in the rear side passage 122a is lower than that in the first state. The airflow in the rear passage 122 a hardly follows the guide wall surface 123 a, and the blown air blown out from the blowout port 121 flows upward along the central axis CL <b> 1 of the blowout passage 122.
 なお、気流偏向ドア14は、後方側通路122aと前方側通路122bとの間で気流速度を偏向させることができればよく、後方側通路122aと前方側通路122bとを完全に分離して形成する必要はない。 The airflow deflecting door 14 only needs to be able to deflect the airflow velocity between the rear side passage 122a and the front side passage 122b, and needs to be formed by completely separating the rear side passage 122a and the front side passage 122b. There is no.
 吹出方向調整ドア16は、図1および図2に示すように、吹出部12の内側に設けられており、吹出口121から吹き出される空気の吹出向きを車両幅方向DR3に調整する。言い換えれば、吹出方向調整ドア16は、空気の吹出向きを構成する3方向成分のうち車両幅方向DR3に沿った幅方向成分を調整する。その3方向成分とは、車両上下方向DR1に沿った第1方向成分としての上下方向成分と、車両前後方向DR2に沿った第2方向成分としての前後方向成分と、第3方向成分としての上記幅方向成分である。上記吹出向きとは、詳細に言えば吹出口121での吹出空気流れ方向である。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is provided inside the blowing portion 12 and adjusts the blowing direction of the air blown from the blowing port 121 in the vehicle width direction DR3. In other words, the blow direction adjusting door 16 adjusts the width direction component along the vehicle width direction DR3 among the three direction components constituting the air blow direction. The three-direction components are the up-down direction component as the first direction component along the vehicle up-down direction DR1, the front-rear direction component as the second direction component along the vehicle front-rear direction DR2, and the above-mentioned as the third direction component. It is a width direction component. The said blowing direction is the blowing air flow direction in the blower outlet 121 if it says in detail.
 例えば、吹出方向調整ドア16は、その吹出方向調整ドア16の回動角度に応じて、図2の矢印ARbおよび矢印ARcのように空気の吹出向きが斜め上向きになるようにその吹出向きを調整する。すなわち、図2では、空気の吹出向きは、矢印ARbおよび矢印ARcで表される。 For example, the blow direction adjusting door 16 adjusts the blow direction so that the air blow direction is obliquely upward as indicated by the arrows ARb and ARc in FIG. 2 according to the rotation angle of the blow direction adjusting door 16. To do. That is, in FIG. 2, the air blowing direction is represented by an arrow ARb and an arrow ARc.
 具体的に、吹出方向調整ドア16は複数設けられている。そして、その複数の吹出方向調整ドア16はルーバを構成しており、相互間隔を空けて車両幅方向DR3に並んで配置されている。そして、図1および図2に示すように、複数の吹出方向調整ドア16は何れも、吹出口121から吹き出される吹出空気の吹出空気流れ方向において気流偏向ドア14に対し下流側に配置されている。その下流側とは、本実施形態では車両上下方向DR1での上側である。 Specifically, a plurality of blowing direction adjusting doors 16 are provided. The plurality of blowing direction adjusting doors 16 constitute a louver, and are arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction DR3 with a space therebetween. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the plurality of blow direction adjusting doors 16 are all disposed downstream of the air flow deflecting door 14 in the flow direction of the blown air blown from the blower outlet 121. Yes. The downstream side is the upper side in the vehicle vertical direction DR1 in this embodiment.
 そして、吹出方向調整ドア16は、空気案内部161と回動軸162とを有している。その空気案内部161は車両前後方向DR2を長手方向とした略矩形の平板形状を成している。また、空気案内部161は、回動軸162の径方向における一方側および他方側それぞれへ回動軸162から延設されるように形成されている。 And the blowing direction adjustment door 16 has the air guide part 161 and the rotating shaft 162. FIG. The air guide portion 161 has a substantially rectangular flat plate shape with the longitudinal direction DR2 of the vehicle as a longitudinal direction. The air guide portion 161 is formed so as to extend from the rotation shaft 162 to one side and the other side in the radial direction of the rotation shaft 162.
 そして、吹出方向調整ドア16の空気案内部161は、矢印ARb、ARcで示される空気案内面161aに沿った空気流れ方向において上流側に位置する上流端161cと、その空気案内面161aに沿った空気流れ方向において下流側に位置する下流端161dとを有している。すなわち、空気案内部161の上流端161cは、空気案内部161のうち下流端161dとは反対側に位置している。 And the air guide part 161 of the blowing direction adjustment door 16 has an upstream end 161c positioned upstream in the air flow direction along the air guide surface 161a indicated by the arrows ARb and ARc, and the air guide surface 161a. A downstream end 161d located on the downstream side in the air flow direction. In other words, the upstream end 161c of the air guide portion 161 is located on the opposite side of the air guide portion 161 from the downstream end 161d.
 空気案内部161の厚み方向の両側には空気案内面161aが形成されている。その空気案内面161aには、矢印ARbおよび矢印ARcのように吹出口121から吹き出される吹出空気が沿って流れるので、空気案内面161aはその吹出空気を案内することができる。 Air guide surfaces 161 a are formed on both sides of the air guide portion 161 in the thickness direction. The air guide surface 161a can guide the blown air because the blown air blown from the blowout port 121 flows along the air guide surface 161a as indicated by the arrows ARb and ARc.
 吹出方向調整ドア16の回動軸162は、車両前後方向DR2を軸方向として設けられている。そして、回動軸162は空気案内部161に対して固定されている。なお、回動軸162が車両前後方向DR2を軸方向として設けられることとは、回動軸162の軸方向が車両前後方向DR2に完全に一致することに限らず、その軸方向が車両前後方向DR2に対して多少傾いていることも含んだ意味である。 The rotation shaft 162 of the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is provided with the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2 as an axial direction. The rotating shaft 162 is fixed with respect to the air guide portion 161. The fact that the pivot shaft 162 is provided with the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2 as the axial direction is not limited to the fact that the axial direction of the pivot shaft 162 completely coincides with the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2, and the axial direction is the vehicle longitudinal direction. It also means that it is slightly inclined with respect to DR2.
 回動軸162は、例えば電動のアクチュエータに連結されており、そのアクチュエータによって回動させられる。それと共に、その回動軸162は、空気案内部161に形成された空気案内面161aを回動させる。このように空気案内面161aが回動すれば、それに伴って、空気案内面161aが吹出通路122の中心軸線CL1に対して成す案内面角度α1が変化する。そして、吹出方向調整ドア16は、その案内面角度α1に応じて、吹出口121から吹き出される空気の吹出向きを車両幅方向DR3に調整する。なお、吹出通路122の中心軸線CL1が車両上下方向DR1に沿った向きになっているので、空気案内面161aが中心軸線CL1に対して成す案内面角度α1は、空気案内面161aが車両上下方向DR1に対して成す案内面角度α1と言い換えられてもよい。 Rotating shaft 162 is connected to, for example, an electric actuator and is rotated by the actuator. At the same time, the rotation shaft 162 rotates the air guide surface 161 a formed in the air guide portion 161. If the air guide surface 161 a rotates in this way, the guide surface angle α 1 formed by the air guide surface 161 a with respect to the central axis CL 1 of the outlet passage 122 changes accordingly. And the blowing direction adjustment door 16 adjusts the blowing direction of the air which blows off from the blower outlet 121 to the vehicle width direction DR3 according to the guide surface angle (alpha) 1. Since the center axis CL1 of the blowout passage 122 is oriented along the vehicle vertical direction DR1, the guide surface angle α1 formed by the air guide surface 161a with respect to the center axis CL1 is such that the air guide surface 161a is in the vehicle vertical direction. It may be paraphrased as guide surface angle α1 formed with respect to DR1.
 また、吹出方向調整ドア16は両端支持になっている。すなわち、図1に示すように、吹出方向調整ドア16の空気案内部161に対し車両前後方向DR2での後側にて回動軸162が吹出部12に対して回動可能に支持されている。それと共に、空気案内部161に対し車両前後方向DR2での前側でも回動軸162が吹出部12に対して回動可能に支持されている。 Also, the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is supported at both ends. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the rotation shaft 162 is rotatably supported with respect to the blowing portion 12 on the rear side in the vehicle longitudinal direction DR <b> 2 with respect to the air guide portion 161 of the blowing direction adjusting door 16. . At the same time, the rotating shaft 162 is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the blowing portion 12 even on the front side in the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2 with respect to the air guide portion 161.
 また、図1に示すように、吹出方向調整ドア16の空気案内部161は、車両前後方向DR2における後側すなわちガイド壁面123a側にガイド側端縁161bを有している。そのガイド側端縁161bは、ガイド壁面123aに対応した湾曲形状を成している。 Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the air guide portion 161 of the blowing direction adjusting door 16 has a guide side edge 161b on the rear side in the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2, that is, on the guide wall surface 123a side. The guide side edge 161b has a curved shape corresponding to the guide wall surface 123a.
 詳細には、ガイド側端縁161bは、空気案内面161aが車両上下方向DR1に沿った上下向きになっている場合にガイド壁面123aに沿う形状を有すると共に、そのガイド壁面123aに対して間隔を空けるように設けられている。当然、空気案内部161はガイド壁面123aに干渉してはいけないので、通路内壁面123が予め許容された許容回動範囲内のうちの何れの回動角度になっても、ガイド側端縁161bとガイド壁面123aとの間には間隔が空いている。なお、通路内壁面123は空気案内部161の一部分であるので、その通路内壁面123の許容回動範囲は空気案内部161の許容回動範囲でもある。また、空気案内部161の許容回動範囲は180°よりも狭く、その許容回動範囲内で空気案内部161が何れの回動角度に回動しても、空気案内部161の上流端161cの位置と下流端161dの位置とが車両上下方向DR1において逆転することはない。 Specifically, the guide-side edge 161b has a shape along the guide wall surface 123a when the air guide surface 161a is vertically oriented along the vehicle vertical direction DR1, and is spaced from the guide wall surface 123a. It is provided so as to be free. Naturally, since the air guide portion 161 should not interfere with the guide wall surface 123a, the guide-side edge 161b is formed regardless of the rotation angle of the passage inner wall surface 123 within a previously permitted permissible rotation range. There is a gap between the guide wall surface 123a and the guide wall surface 123a. Since the inner wall surface 123 of the passage is a part of the air guide portion 161, the allowable rotation range of the inner wall surface 123 of the passage is also the allowable rotation range of the air guide portion 161. In addition, the allowable rotation range of the air guide portion 161 is narrower than 180 °, and the upstream end 161c of the air guide portion 161 no matter which rotation angle the air guide portion 161 rotates within the allowable rotation range. And the position of the downstream end 161d are not reversed in the vehicle vertical direction DR1.
 以上のように構成された空気吹出装置10では、吹出口121から吹き出される空気の吹出向きは、気流偏向ドア14によって車両前後方向DR2に調整される。それと共に、その吹出向きは、吹出方向調整ドア16によって車両幅方向DR3に調整される。 In the air blowing device 10 configured as described above, the blowing direction of the air blown from the blower outlet 121 is adjusted by the airflow deflecting door 14 in the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2. At the same time, the blowing direction is adjusted by the blowing direction adjusting door 16 in the vehicle width direction DR3.
 上述したように、本実施形態によれば、図1および図2に示すように吹出方向調整ドア16は、吹出口121から吹き出される吹出空気の主流流れ方向(すなわち、吹出空気流れ方向)において気流偏向ドア14に対し下流側に配置されている。従って、吹出口121から吹出部12内への異物の侵入を防止する役割を吹出方向調整ドア16に持たせることが可能である。従って、特許文献1に記載の空気吹出装置が有するカバーに相当する部材を吹出口121付近に配置する必要がない。そのため、吹出方向調整ドア16よって調整された空気の吹出向きがそのカバーによって修正されるという外乱がなく、その吹出向きを維持しつつ吹出口121から空気を吹き出させることが可能である。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is in the main flow direction (ie, the blowing air flow direction) of the blown air blown from the blower outlet 121. The air flow deflecting door 14 is disposed on the downstream side. Therefore, it is possible to give the blowing direction adjusting door 16 the role of preventing the entry of foreign matter from the blowing port 121 into the blowing unit 12. Therefore, it is not necessary to arrange a member corresponding to the cover of the air blowing device described in Patent Document 1 in the vicinity of the blowout port 121. Therefore, there is no disturbance that the air blowing direction adjusted by the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is corrected by the cover, and it is possible to blow air from the blower outlet 121 while maintaining the blowing direction.
 また、吹出方向調整ドア16が気流偏向ドア14に対し上流側に配置される構成と比較して、吹出方向調整ドア16の相互間から流出した空気の向きが通路内壁面123によって修正されにくい。従って、この点でも、吹出方向調整ドア16による吹出方向調整効果を大きくすることが容易である。 Further, as compared with the configuration in which the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is arranged on the upstream side with respect to the airflow deflecting door 14, the direction of the air flowing out from between the blowing direction adjusting doors 16 is less likely to be corrected by the passage inner wall surface 123. Therefore, also in this respect, it is easy to increase the blowing direction adjustment effect by the blowing direction adjustment door 16.
 また、本実施形態によれば、上記のように吹出口121から吹出部12内への異物の侵入を防止する役割を吹出方向調整ドア16に持たせることで、特許文献1に記載の空気吹出装置が有するカバーに相当する部材を不要にできる。従って、そのカバーを有する構成と比較して、空気吹出装置10を吹出通路122の中心軸線CL1の軸方向に小型化することが可能である。すなわち図1で言えば、空気吹出装置10を車両上下方向DR1に小型化することが可能である。その結果として、空気吹出装置10の車両搭載性を向上させることが可能である。 In addition, according to the present embodiment, the air blowing described in Patent Document 1 is provided by providing the blowing direction adjusting door 16 with the role of preventing the entry of foreign matter from the blowing outlet 121 into the blowing portion 12 as described above. A member corresponding to the cover of the apparatus can be eliminated. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of the air blowing device 10 in the axial direction of the central axis CL <b> 1 of the blowing passage 122 as compared with the configuration having the cover. That is, in FIG. 1, the air blowing device 10 can be downsized in the vehicle vertical direction DR1. As a result, the vehicle mountability of the air blowing device 10 can be improved.
 また、本実施形態によれば、図1および図2に示すように、吹出方向調整ドア16は、吹出口121から吹き出される吹出空気が沿って流れる空気案内面161aが形成された空気案内部161と、回動軸162とを有している。その回動軸162は、車両前後方向DR2を軸方向として設けられると共に、空気案内部161に対して固定され、空気案内面161aを回動させる。そして、吹出方向調整ドア16は、空気案内面161aが吹出通路122の中心軸線CL1に対して成す案内面角度α1に応じて、吹出口121から吹き出される空気の吹出向きを車両幅方向DR3に調整する。従って、吹出方向調整ドア16を簡単な構成としつつ、吹出向きを車両幅方向DR3に調整する機能を得ることが可能である。 Moreover, according to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the blowing direction adjusting door 16 has an air guiding portion 161a formed with an air guiding surface 161a along which the blown air blown from the blower outlet 121 flows. 161 and a rotation shaft 162. The rotation shaft 162 is provided with the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2 as an axial direction, and is fixed to the air guide portion 161 to rotate the air guide surface 161a. And the blowing direction adjustment door 16 changes the blowing direction of the air blown from the blower outlet 121 to the vehicle width direction DR3 according to the guide surface angle α1 formed by the air guide surface 161a with respect to the central axis CL1 of the blowout passage 122. adjust. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a function of adjusting the blowing direction to the vehicle width direction DR3 while making the blowing direction adjusting door 16 simple.
 また、本実施形態によれば、図1および図2に示すように、空気案内部161のガイド側端縁161bは、空気案内面161aが車両上下方向DR1に沿った向きになっている場合にガイド壁面123aに沿う形状を有すると共に、そのガイド壁面123aに対して間隔を空けるように設けられている。従って、吹出方向調整ドア16が吹出向きを車両幅方向DR3に調整する作用を、ガイド壁面123aの近傍を流れる空気にまで及ぼすことが可能である。 Further, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the guide-side edge 161b of the air guide portion 161 is when the air guide surface 161a is oriented along the vehicle vertical direction DR1. It has a shape along the guide wall surface 123a and is provided so as to be spaced from the guide wall surface 123a. Therefore, it is possible for the blow direction adjusting door 16 to adjust the blow direction in the vehicle width direction DR3 to the air flowing in the vicinity of the guide wall surface 123a.
 また、本実施形態によれば、図2に示すように、吹出方向調整ドア16は複数設けられ、その複数の吹出方向調整ドア16は、相互間隔を空けて車両幅方向DR3に並んで配置されている。従って、吹出方向調整ドア16が1つである構成と比較して、吹出方向調整ドア16が吹出向きを車両幅方向DR3に調整する作用を強く得ることが容易である。更に、吹出口121から吹出部12内への異物の侵入が吹出方向調整ドア16によって防止される効果を大きく得ることも容易である。 Further, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of blowing direction adjusting doors 16 are provided, and the plurality of blowing direction adjusting doors 16 are arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction DR3 with an interval therebetween. ing. Therefore, it is easy to strongly obtain the action of the blow direction adjusting door 16 for adjusting the blow direction in the vehicle width direction DR3 as compared with the configuration having one blow direction adjusting door 16. Furthermore, it is also easy to obtain a great effect of preventing the entry of foreign matter from the outlet 121 into the outlet 12 by the outlet direction adjusting door 16.
 (第2実施形態)
 次に、第2実施形態について説明する。本実施形態では、前述の第1実施形態と異なる点を主として説明する。また、前述の実施形態と同一または均等な部分については省略または簡略化して説明する。このことは後述の第3実施形態以降でも同様である。
(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described. Further, the same or equivalent parts as those of the above-described embodiment will be described by omitting or simplifying them. The same applies to the third and later embodiments described later.
 図3および図4に示すように、本実施形態では、吹出方向調整ドア16における回動軸162の位置が第1実施形態と異なる。 As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the position of the rotating shaft 162 in the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is different from that in the first embodiment.
 具体的に、吹出方向調整ドア16の空気案内部161は、第1実施形態と同様に上流端161cと下流端161dとを有している。但し、本実施形態では、第1実施形態とは異なり、吹出方向調整ドア16の回動軸162は、その空気案内部161の下流端161dに固定されている。 Concretely, the air guide part 161 of the blowing direction adjustment door 16 has the upstream end 161c and the downstream end 161d similarly to 1st Embodiment. However, in the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the rotation shaft 162 of the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is fixed to the downstream end 161 d of the air guide portion 161.
 すなわち、本実施形態の空気案内部161は、回動軸162の径方向における一方側および他方側のうちの一方側にだけ回動軸162から延設されるように形成されている。この点が、第1実施形態と異なっている。そして、空気案内部161は、吹出空気流れ方向において下流側へ回動軸162を超えない範囲内で回動する。 That is, the air guide portion 161 of the present embodiment is formed so as to extend from the rotation shaft 162 only on one side of one side and the other side in the radial direction of the rotation shaft 162. This point is different from the first embodiment. And the air guide part 161 rotates in the range which does not exceed the rotating shaft 162 to the downstream in the blowing air flow direction.
 例えば、空気案内部161は、図4に示す上流部位161eを含んでいる。その上流部位161eは、空気案内面161aが車両上下方向DR1に沿った上下向きになっている場合において空気案内部161のうち回動軸162よりも車両上下方向DR1で上流端161c側を占める部位である。そして、吹出方向調整ドア16は、空気案内面161aが上下向きになっている場合において、その上流部位161eの全体が吹出部12の内側に入るように配置されている。要するに、空気案内面161aが上下向きになっている場合には、上記上流部位161eの全体が吹出部12内に位置する。図4では、空気案内面161aは上記上下向きに対して僅かに傾いているが、空気案内部161に含まれる上流部位161eの全体が吹出部12内に位置している。 For example, the air guide part 161 includes an upstream part 161e shown in FIG. The upstream portion 161e is a portion that occupies the upstream end 161c side in the vehicle vertical direction DR1 with respect to the rotating shaft 162 in the air guide portion 161 when the air guide surface 161a is vertically oriented along the vehicle vertical direction DR1. It is. And the blowing direction adjustment door 16 is arrange | positioned so that the whole upstream part 161e may enter the inside of the blowing part 12, when the air guide surface 161a is vertical. In short, when the air guide surface 161 a is vertically oriented, the entire upstream portion 161 e is located in the blowout portion 12. In FIG. 4, the air guide surface 161 a is slightly inclined with respect to the vertical direction, but the entire upstream portion 161 e included in the air guide portion 161 is located in the blowout portion 12.
 上述した本実施形態によれば、図3に示すように、吹出方向調整ドア16の回動軸162は、空気案内面161aに沿った空気流れ方向における空気案内部161の下流端161dに固定されている。従って、吹出方向調整ドア16のうち吹出口121にて車室内へ露出する部位を回動軸162とすることができる。そのため、吹出方向調整ドア16が回動しても車両幅方向DR3の幅が変化しない回動軸162で、吹出口121から吹出部12内への異物の侵入を防止することができる。 According to the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the rotation shaft 162 of the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is fixed to the downstream end 161d of the air guide portion 161 in the air flow direction along the air guide surface 161a. ing. Therefore, the part exposed to the vehicle interior at the outlet 121 of the outlet direction adjusting door 16 can be used as the rotation shaft 162. Therefore, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from entering from the outlet 121 into the outlet 12 with the rotary shaft 162 whose width in the vehicle width direction DR3 does not change even when the outlet direction adjusting door 16 rotates.
 すなわち、例えば複数の吹出方向調整ドア16は、空気の吹出向きを調整するルーバとして機能すると共に、吹出部12内への物落ちなどの異物の侵入に対する防護柵としても機能する。そして、その防護柵としての吹出方向調整ドア16の相互間に生じる車両幅方向DR3の隙間を、吹出方向調整ドア16が回動しても一定に保持することが可能である。 That is, for example, the plurality of blowing direction adjustment doors 16 function as louvers that adjust the blowing direction of air, and also function as a protective fence against entry of foreign matters such as falling objects into the blowing portion 12. And the gap of the vehicle width direction DR3 which arises between the blowing direction adjustment doors 16 as the protection fence can be kept constant even if the blowing direction adjustment door 16 rotates.
 また、回動軸162は空気案内部161の下流端161dに固定されているので、空気案内部161のガイド側端縁161bは、空気案内面161aが車両上下方向DR1に沿った上下向きになっている場合にガイド壁面123aへ最も接近する。従って、空気案内面161aが上下向きになっている状態で空気案内部161とガイド壁面123aとの間に間隔を空ければ、空気案内部161が回動してもガイド壁面123aに干渉しない。このように、空気案内部161が回動してもガイド壁面123aに干渉しないように吹出方向調整ドア16を配置することが、ガイド側端縁161bの形状に拘わらず容易である。 Further, since the rotation shaft 162 is fixed to the downstream end 161d of the air guide portion 161, the guide side end edge 161b of the air guide portion 161 has the air guide surface 161a vertically oriented along the vehicle vertical direction DR1. When it is, it approaches the guide wall surface 123a most. Therefore, if there is a space between the air guide portion 161 and the guide wall surface 123a with the air guide surface 161a facing up and down, the air guide portion 161 does not interfere with the guide wall surface 123a even if it rotates. Thus, it is easy to arrange the blowing direction adjusting door 16 so as not to interfere with the guide wall surface 123a even if the air guide portion 161 rotates, regardless of the shape of the guide side edge 161b.
 また、本実施形態によれば図4に示すように、吹出方向調整ドア16は、空気案内面161aが上下向きになっている場合において、空気案内部161に含まれる上流部位161eの全体が吹出部12の内側に入るように配置されている。従って、吹出方向調整ドア16が吹出口121から上側へ出っ張る出っ張り量を抑えて、空気吹出装置10の意匠性を向上させることが可能である。 Further, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the air guide surface 161 a is vertically oriented, the blow direction adjusting door 16 blows out the entire upstream portion 161 e included in the air guide portion 161. It arrange | positions so that it may enter inside the part 12. FIG. Therefore, it is possible to improve the design of the air blowing device 10 by suppressing the amount of protrusion of the blowing direction adjusting door 16 protruding upward from the outlet 121.
 本実施形態では、前述の第1実施形態と共通の構成から奏される効果を第1実施形態と同様に得ることができる。 In this embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same effects as those of the first embodiment, which are obtained from the configuration common to the first embodiment.
 (第3実施形態)
 次に、第3実施形態について説明する。本実施形態では、前述の第1実施形態と異なる点を主として説明する。
(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.
 図5および図6に示すように、本実施形態では、第1実施形態とは異なり、吹出方向調整ドア16は片端支持になっている。 As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, in this embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is supported at one end.
 具体的に、吹出方向調整ドア16の回動軸162は、車両前後方向DR2において空気案内部161に対しガイド壁面123a側である一方側とは反対側である他方側(すなわち前側)で、吹出部12に対して回動可能に支持されている。 Specifically, the rotation shaft 162 of the blow direction adjusting door 16 is blown out on the other side (that is, the front side) opposite to the one side on the guide wall surface 123a side with respect to the air guide portion 161 in the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2. The part 12 is supported so as to be rotatable.
 そのため、回動軸162は、車両前後方向DR2において空気案内部161に対しガイド壁面123a側には突き出ていない。要するに、吹出方向調整ドア16の全体がガイド壁面123aに対して間隔を空け、そのガイド壁面123aから離れて配置されている。 Therefore, the rotation shaft 162 does not protrude toward the guide wall surface 123a with respect to the air guide portion 161 in the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2. In short, the entire blowing direction adjusting door 16 is spaced from the guide wall surface 123a and is arranged away from the guide wall surface 123a.
 上述した本実施形態によれば、図5に示すように、吹出方向調整ドア16の回動軸162は、車両前後方向DR2において空気案内部161に対しガイド壁面123a側とは反対側(すなわち前側)で、吹出部12に対して回動可能に支持されている。そして、吹出方向調整ドア16は、ガイド壁面123aから離れて配置されている。従って、コアンダ効果によりガイド壁面123aに沿って流れる高速気流が吹出方向調整ドア16の回動軸162等に乱されることに起因してガイド壁面123aから剥離するという事態を生じにくくすることができる。 According to the present embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 5, the rotation shaft 162 of the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is opposite to the guide wall surface 123a side (that is, the front side) with respect to the air guide portion 161 in the vehicle longitudinal direction DR2. ) And is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the blowing portion 12. And the blowing direction adjustment door 16 is arrange | positioned away from the guide wall surface 123a. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the high-speed airflow flowing along the guide wall surface 123a due to the Coanda effect to be separated from the guide wall surface 123a due to being disturbed by the rotation shaft 162 of the blowing direction adjusting door 16 or the like. .
 すなわち、高速気流をガイド壁面123aに沿わせるコアンダ効果に吹出方向調整ドア16が影響しにくいように、その吹出方向調整ドア16を設けることが可能である。これにより、高速気流がガイド壁面123aに沿い易く、空気吹出装置10を、吹出空気の流れがコアンダ効果によって曲がりやすい構成とすることが可能である。 That is, it is possible to provide the blowing direction adjusting door 16 so that the blowing direction adjusting door 16 does not easily affect the Coanda effect that causes the high-speed air flow to follow the guide wall surface 123a. Thereby, it is possible for the high-speed airflow to be easily along the guide wall surface 123a, and the air blowing device 10 can be configured such that the flow of the blowing air is easily bent by the Coanda effect.
 本実施形態では、前述の第1実施形態と共通の構成から奏される効果を第1実施形態と同様に得ることができる。 In this embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same effects as those of the first embodiment, which are obtained from the configuration common to the first embodiment.
 なお、本実施形態は第1実施形態に基づいた変形例であるが、本実施形態を前述の第2実施形態と組み合わせることも可能である。 In addition, although this embodiment is a modification based on 1st Embodiment, it is also possible to combine this embodiment with the above-mentioned 2nd Embodiment.
 (第4実施形態)
 次に、第4実施形態について説明する。本実施形態では、前述の第1実施形態と異なる点を主として説明する。
(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.
 図7および図8に示すように、本実施形態では、吹出方向調整ドア16における回動軸162の位置と、吹出部12に対する吹出方向調整ドア16の配置とが第1実施形態と異なる。 7 and 8, in the present embodiment, the position of the rotation shaft 162 in the blowing direction adjusting door 16 and the arrangement of the blowing direction adjusting door 16 with respect to the blowing portion 12 are different from those in the first embodiment.
 具体的に、吹出方向調整ドア16の空気案内部161は、第1実施形態と同様に上流端161cと下流端161dとを有している。但し、本実施形態では、第1実施形態とは異なり、吹出方向調整ドア16の回動軸162は、その空気案内部161の上流端161cに固定されている。そして、空気案内部161は、吹出空気流れ方向において上流側へ回動軸162を超えない範囲内で回動する。 Concretely, the air guide part 161 of the blowing direction adjustment door 16 has the upstream end 161c and the downstream end 161d similarly to 1st Embodiment. However, in the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the rotation shaft 162 of the blow direction adjusting door 16 is fixed to the upstream end 161 c of the air guide portion 161. And the air guide part 161 rotates in the range which does not exceed the rotating shaft 162 to the upstream in the blowing air flow direction.
 例えば、吹出方向調整ドア16は、図8に示す下流部位161fを含んでいる。その下流部位161fは、空気案内面161aが車両上下方向DR1に沿った上下向きになっている場合において空気案内部161のうち回動軸162よりも車両上下方向DR1で下流端161d側を占める部位である。そして、吹出方向調整ドア16は、空気案内面161aが上下向きになっている場合において、その下流部位161fの全体が吹出口121に対し車両上下方向DR1で気流偏向ドア14側とは反対側すなわち上側に位置するように配置されている。要するに、空気案内面161aが上下向きになっている場合には、上記下流部位161fの全体が吹出部12の外に位置する。図8では、空気案内面161aは上記上下向きに対して僅かに傾いているが、空気案内部161に含まれる下流部位161fの全体が吹出部12の外に位置している。 For example, the blowing direction adjusting door 16 includes a downstream portion 161f shown in FIG. The downstream portion 161f is a portion that occupies the downstream end 161d side in the vehicle vertical direction DR1 with respect to the rotating shaft 162 in the air guide portion 161 when the air guide surface 161a is vertically oriented along the vehicle vertical direction DR1. It is. When the air guide surface 161a is vertically oriented, the blowout direction adjusting door 16 is entirely opposite to the airflow deflecting door 14 side in the vehicle vertical direction DR1 with respect to the blowout port 121. It arrange | positions so that it may be located on the upper side. In short, when the air guide surface 161 a is vertically oriented, the entire downstream portion 161 f is located outside the blowing portion 12. In FIG. 8, the air guide surface 161 a is slightly inclined with respect to the above vertical direction, but the entire downstream portion 161 f included in the air guide portion 161 is located outside the blowout portion 12.
 本実施形態によれば、吹出方向調整ドア16が上述のように構成されているので、前述の第3実施形態と同様に、高速気流がガイド壁面123aから剥離するという事態を生じにくくすることができる。 According to this embodiment, since the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is configured as described above, it is difficult to cause a situation in which the high-speed air current is peeled off from the guide wall surface 123a as in the third embodiment. it can.
 また、本実施形態の構成では、図7および図8に示すように、吹出空気の流れがガイド壁面123aに沿って曲げられた後に、吹出方向調整ドア16は、吹出空気の吹出向きを車両幅方向DR3に調整する。従って、吹出空気の流れを曲げるコアンダ効果への吹出方向調整ドア16の影響を、第3実施形態よりも更に排除することが可能である。 Moreover, in the structure of this embodiment, as shown in FIG.7 and FIG.8, after the flow of blowing air is bent along the guide wall surface 123a, the blowing direction adjustment door 16 sets the blowing direction of blowing air to the vehicle width. Adjust in direction DR3. Therefore, it is possible to further eliminate the influence of the blow direction adjusting door 16 on the Coanda effect that bends the flow of blown air, as compared with the third embodiment.
 本実施形態では、前述の第1実施形態と共通の構成から奏される効果を第1実施形態と同様に得ることができる。 In this embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same effects as those of the first embodiment, which are obtained from the configuration common to the first embodiment.
 (第5実施形態)
 次に、第5実施形態について説明する。本実施形態では、前述の第2実施形態と異なる点を主として説明する。
(Fifth embodiment)
Next, a fifth embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, differences from the second embodiment will be mainly described.
 図9および図10に示すように、本実施形態では、吹出方向調整ドア16の空気案内部161の形状が第2実施形態と異なっている。 As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, in this embodiment, the shape of the air guide portion 161 of the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is different from that of the second embodiment.
 具体的に、吹出方向調整ドア16の空気案内部161は、第2実施形態と同様に上流端161cと下流端161dとを有している。そして、空気案内部161の上流端161cは、空気案内面161aが車両上下方向DR1に沿った上下向きになっている場合には、車両上下方向DR1で回動軸162よりも下側すなわち気流偏向ドア14側に位置する。 Concretely, the air guide part 161 of the blowing direction adjustment door 16 has the upstream end 161c and the downstream end 161d similarly to 2nd Embodiment. The upstream end 161c of the air guide portion 161 is located below the rotating shaft 162 in the vehicle vertical direction DR1, that is, the airflow deflection, when the air guide surface 161a is vertically oriented along the vehicle vertical direction DR1. Located on the door 14 side.
 更に、本実施形態では図9に示すように、第2実施形態とは異なり、その空気案内部161の上流端161cは、下流端161d側へ凹んだ凹形状161gを有している。そして、その凹形状161gは、空気案内面161aが上記上下向きになっている場合において気流偏向ドア14の回動軌跡の外縁14aに対して間隔を空け且つその外縁14aに対応するように凹んでいる。なお、図10では空気案内面161aは車両上下方向DR1に対して傾いているが、図9は、空気案内面161aが車両上下方向DR1に沿った上下向きになった状態で図示されている。 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, unlike the second embodiment, the upstream end 161c of the air guide portion 161 has a concave shape 161g that is recessed toward the downstream end 161d. The concave shape 161g is recessed so as to be spaced from and correspond to the outer edge 14a of the rotation trajectory of the air flow deflecting door 14 when the air guide surface 161a is in the vertical direction. Yes. In FIG. 10, the air guide surface 161a is inclined with respect to the vehicle vertical direction DR1, but FIG. 9 is illustrated in a state where the air guide surface 161a is oriented vertically along the vehicle vertical direction DR1.
 本実施形態によれば、吹出方向調整ドア16の空気案内部161が上述のように構成されているので、気流偏向ドア14と吹出方向調整ドア16との互いの干渉を避けることができる。そして、空気案内部161の上流端161cが凹形状161gを有さない場合と比較して、空気案内面161aを広く確保することが可能である。 According to the present embodiment, since the air guide portion 161 of the blowing direction adjusting door 16 is configured as described above, mutual interference between the airflow deflecting door 14 and the blowing direction adjusting door 16 can be avoided. And compared with the case where the upstream end 161c of the air guide part 161 does not have the concave shape 161g, it is possible to ensure the air guide surface 161a widely.

Therefore, the site | part exposed at the blower outlet of a blowing part among blowing direction adjustment members can be made into a rotating shaft. Therefore, it is possible to prevent intrusion of foreign matter from the blowout port into the blowout portion with the turning shaft that does not change the width in the vehicle width direction even when the blowout direction adjusting member is turned.
 また、第4の観点によれば、吹出方向調整部材は、空気案内面が車両上下方向に沿った向きになっている場合において、空気案内部のうち回動軸よりも車両上下方向で上流端側を占める部位の全体が吹出部の内側に入るように配置されている。従って、吹出口から吹出方向調整部材が出っ張る出っ張り量を抑えて、空気吹出装置の意匠性を向上させることが可能である。 Further, according to the fourth aspect, the blowing direction adjusting member has an upstream end in the vehicle vertical direction with respect to the rotating shaft of the air guide portion when the air guide surface is oriented along the vehicle vertical direction. It arrange | positions so that the whole site | part which occupies the side may enter the inside of a blowing part. Therefore, it is possible to improve the design of the air blowing device by suppressing the amount of protrusion of the blowing direction adjusting member protruding from the outlet.
 また、第5の観点によれば、空気案内部の上流端は、空気案内面が車両上下方向に沿った向きになっている場合において、車両上下方向で回動軸よりも気流操作部材側に位置する。そして、空気案内部の上流端は、その空気案内面が車両上下方向に沿った向きになっている場合において気流操作部材の回動軌跡の外縁に対して間隔を空けその外縁に対応するように凹んだ形状を有している。従って、その凹んだ形状が設けられずに吹出方向調整部材が配置される場合と比較して、空気案内面を広く確保することが可能である。 Further, according to the fifth aspect, the upstream end of the air guide portion is closer to the air flow operation member side than the rotation shaft in the vehicle vertical direction when the air guide surface is oriented along the vehicle vertical direction. To position. The upstream end of the air guide portion is spaced from the outer edge of the rotation trajectory of the airflow operation member and corresponds to the outer edge when the air guide surface is oriented along the vehicle vertical direction. It has a concave shape. Therefore, it is possible to ensure a wide air guide surface as compared with the case where the blowing direction adjusting member is arranged without the concave shape.
 また、第6の観点によれば、空気案内部のガイド側端縁は、空気案内面が車両上下方向に沿った向きになっている場合にガイド壁面に沿う形状を有すると共に、そのガイド壁面に対して間隔を空けるように設けられている。従って、吹出方向調整部材が吹出向きを車両幅方向に調整する作用を、ガイド壁面の近傍を流れる空気にまで及ぼすことが可能である。 According to the sixth aspect, the guide side edge of the air guide portion has a shape along the guide wall surface when the air guide surface is oriented along the vehicle vertical direction, and the guide wall surface includes It is provided so as to be spaced from each other.

Thereby, it is possible to make it easy for the high-speed air flow to follow along the guide wall surface, and the air blowing device can be configured such that the flow of the blowing air is easily bent by the Coanda effect.
 また、第9の観点によれば、吹出方向調整部材は複数設けられ、その複数の吹出方向調整部材は、相互間隔を空けて車両幅方向に並んで配置されている。従って、吹出方向調整部材が1つである構成と比較して、吹出方向調整部材が吹出向きを車両幅方向に調整する作用を強く得ることが容易である。更に、吹出口から吹出部内への異物の侵入が吹出方向調整部材によって防止される効果を大きく得ることも容易である。 Further, according to the ninth aspect, a plurality of blowing direction adjusting members are provided, and the plurality of blowing direction adjusting members are arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction with an interval therebetween.
