Vehicle air conditioning duct device
A technology that further improves an air conditioning function of a vehicle air conditioning duct device 1 is provided. The vehicle air conditioning duct device 1 includes: a housing 2 disposed on a lateral side of a seat and on a side opposite to a vehicle door with respect to the seat; a blowout port 3 provided at a position, in the housing 2 , between a vehicle compartment floor upper surface 93 and a seat surface 94 of the seat; and a duct 4 having therein a flow path 40 for conditioned air, the duct 4 being disposed inside the housing 2 and connected to a vehicle air conditioner and the blowout port 3 . The vehicle air conditioning duct device 1 is configured to blow out the conditioned air from the blowout port 3 obliquely forward with respect to the seat.
1 . A vehicle air conditioning duct device comprising:
a housing disposed on a lateral side of a seat and on a side opposite to a vehicle door with respect to the seat;
a blowout port provided at a position, in the housing, between a vehicle compartment floor upper surface and a seat surface of the seat;
a duct having therein a flow path for conditioned air, the duct being disposed, at least partially, inside the housing and connected to a vehicle air conditioner and the blowout port; and
a wind direction adjustment element having at least one fin and disposed inside the blowout port, wherein
the vehicle air conditioning duct device is configured to blow out the conditioned air from the blowout port obliquely forward with respect to the seat,
the fin is rotatable in a rotation range including an obliquely-guiding position at which the fin is inclined from a rear side and a depth side toward a front side and a seat side with respect to the blowout port,
the wind direction adjustment element has the fin, an operation part for rotating the fin, an open/close damper, and an operation part for rotating the open/close damper,
an input part to be operated by an occupant is disposed on an upper side of the blowout port and exposed to outside of the housing,
the input part is included in the operation part for rotating the fin, or the input part is included in the operation part for rotating the open/close damper,
the open/close damper is on the depth side of the fin with respect to the blowout port, and
the open/close damper is rotatable in a rotation range including a damper obliquely-guiding position at which the open/close damper is inclined from the front side and the depth side to the rear side and the seat side.
