Therefore, the first bending portion 53 can absorb the difference from the optimum position when the vehicle air conditioner 10 is positioned on the vehicle. Therefore, even when the vehicle air conditioner 10 is displaced from the target position, it is easy to properly install the pipe seal member 50 and exert the sealing function.
- the second flexible portion 63 can be easily mounted with the pipe seal member 50 appropriately so as to exhibit the sealing function. Therefore, it is easy to properly assemble the components related to the vehicle air conditioner 10 including the pipe seal member 50 to the vehicle. In other words, it is easy to improve the manufacturability of the vehicle equipped with the vehicle air conditioner 10.
- At least a part of the second tubular portion 62 is arranged between the first tubular portions 52.
- at least a part of the second tubular portion 62 is arranged in the projection area extending from the one first tubular portion 52 to the other first tubular portion 52. Therefore, it is possible to effectively utilize the projection area from one first tubular portion 52 to the other first tubular portion 52, which would be a dead space if the second tubular portion 62 is not arranged.
- the distance between the first tubular portion 52 and the second tubular portion 62 can be reduced to facilitate downsizing of the pipe sealing member 50.
- the engine room side of the dash panel 91 is easily exposed to sand and rainwater outside the passenger compartment. For this reason, if the pipe sealing member 50 is not properly sealed, sand or rainwater may enter the vehicle interior, and the vehicle interior may become dirty. According to the present embodiment, the pipe seal member 50 mounted on the dash panel 91 that separates the vehicle interior from the engine room can perform stable and appropriate sealing, and can keep the vehicle interior comfortable.
- the dash panel 91 is susceptible to not only the vibration of the vehicle running but also the vibration of the engine 30. For this reason, it is difficult for the pipe sealing member 50 provided on the dash panel 91 to stably maintain an appropriate sealed state, but according to the present embodiment, the pipe sealing member 50 has a stable sealing function. Can be demonstrated.
- a high temperature fluid flows through the pipes 32, 33, 42 and 43. Therefore, when the high temperature fluid flows through the pipes 32, 33, 42 and 43, the temperature of the pipe seal member 50 is likely to rise. On the other hand, when a high-temperature fluid does not flow in the pipes 32, 33, 42, 43, the temperature of the pipe seal member 50 is likely to correspond to the outside air temperature. That is, when the outside air temperature is low such as in winter, the temperature difference in the pipe seal member 50 is likely to be significantly large. The volume of the pipe sealing member 50 changes due to the temperature difference. According to the present embodiment, the pipe seal member 50, which contacts the pipes 32, 33, 42, 43 through which the high-temperature fluid flows and seals, can perform stable and proper sealing.
- the pipe seal member 50 is not limited to the pipe member through which the four pipes 32, 33, 42, 43 are inserted.
- the number of pipes may be less than four, for example, one pipe member may be inserted for sealing.
- the number of pipes may be more than four such as by inserting six pipe members.
- the pipe member to which the pipe seal member 50 is applied is not limited to the one in which a high-temperature fluid flows inside the pipe member.
- the pipe seal member 50 may be applied to a pipe member that flows in a low-temperature refrigerant forming a refrigeration cycle.
- it may be applied to a piping member for discharging condensed water generated on the surface of the evaporator 21 to the outside of the vehicle compartment.
- the inside may be applied to a piping member through which the brake hydraulic fluid flows.
- the pipe seal member 50 may be deformed before and after being mounted on the vehicle.
- the tubular parts 52, 62 have a contracted bellows shape, and when the pipes 32, 33, 42, 43 are inserted, the tubular parts are inserted.
- 52, 62 may be configured to extend along the pipes 32, 33, 42, 43.
