Blower air suction device

1. A blower air suction device of a motor vehicle air conditioner comprising:

a blower with a vertical arrangement including a blower motor, a blower rotor, and a blower opening, wherein the blower is ensheathed by a blower scroll, and wherein the blower is suspended and the blower rotor is disposed beneath the blower motor to facilitate a compactness of the blower air suction device; and

an air inlet housing including a fresh air opening formed in a wall, the fresh air opening positioned in the wall spaced apart from the blower in a direction of travel of the motor vehicle, the air inlet housing further including an ambient air opening, wherein the ambient air opening is disposed beneath the blower and points downward to militate against sound radiating from the blower air suction device towards a passenger compartment of the vehicle, the fresh air opening facing a front of the motor vehicle, and both the fresh air opening and the ambient air opening are disposed between a central axis of the blower and the front of the motor vehicle.

2. The blower air suction device according to claim 1 , wherein a flow of air through the air inlet housing begins at the fresh air opening, continues through a fresh air duct first in a downward direction, and subsequently continues away from the direction of travel, resulting in identical directions of inflow into the blower for the fresh air inlet and the ambient air inlet.

3. The blower air suction device according to claim 1 , wherein the blower air suction device further comprises a plurality of housing units, which abut the blower on a side or beneath, and which are removable individually to permit access to the blower.

4. The blower air suction device according to claim 1 , wherein a filter seat housing unit is provided for arrangement of a filter between the blower and the filter inlet housing, wherein the filter seat housing unit is removable and includes a blower inlet ring.

5. The blower air suction device according to claim 1 , further comprising a filter housing disposed beneath the blower and including a cover, wherein the cover functions as a filter cover for filter servicing, and wherein after removal of the filter cover, a blower inlet ring can be disassembled downward, and after disassembly of the blower inlet ring, the blower can be removed downwardly.

6. The blower air suction device according to claim 1 , wherein the blower is attached by a screw connection from below through the blower scroll.

7. The blower air suction device according to claim 1 , wherein a housing portion of the blower scroll is removable to facilitate removal of the blower.

8. The blower air suction device according to claim 7 , wherein the housing portion of the blower scroll includes a first blower housing and a second blower housing, the first blower housing having a wedge-shape in end areas thereof to facilitate insertion of the first blower housing into a tongue and groove connection with the second blower housing, and wherein the blower is attached by a clamp connection between the first blower housings and the second blower housing.

9. The blower air suction device according to claim 8 , wherein the blower housing is oriented horizontally by means of a guide device.

10. The blower air suction device according to claim 1 , wherein a pivotable flap is provided for sealing the fresh air opening and of the ambient air opening.

11. The blower air suction device according to claim 10 , wherein a sealing surface of the flap has a step-shaped cross section.

12. A blower air suction device of a motor vehicle air conditioner comprising:

a blower with a vertical arrangement including a blower motor, a blower rotor, and a blower opening, wherein the blower is ensheathed by a blower scroll, and wherein the blower is suspended, and the blower rotor is disposed beneath the blower motor to facilitate a compactness of the blower air suction device; and

an air inlet housing including a fresh air opening formed in a wall, the fresh air opening positioned in the wall away from a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, the air inlet housing further including an ambient air opening, wherein the ambient air opening is disposed beneath the blower and points downward to militate against sound radiating from the blower air suction device towards a passenger compartment of the vehicle, the fresh opening facing a front of the motor vehicle, and both the fresh air opening and the ambient air opening are disposed intermediate a central axis of the blower and the wall.

13. The blower air suction device according to claim 12 , wherein the blower air suction device further comprises a plurality of housing units, which abut the blower on a side or beneath, and which are removable individually to permit access to the blower.

14. The blower air suction device according to claim 12 , wherein a filter seat housing unit is provided for arrangement of a filter between the blower and the filter inlet housing, wherein the filter seat housing unit is removable and includes a blower inlet ring.

15. The blower air suction device according to claim 12 , further comprising a filter housing disposed beneath the blower and including a cover, wherein the cover functions as a filter cover for filter servicing, and wherein after removal of the filter cover, a blower inlet ring can be disassembled downward, and after disassembly of the blower inlet ring, the blower can be removed downwardly.

16. The blower air suction device according to claim 12 , wherein a housing portion of the blower scroll is removable to facilitate removal of the blower.

17. The blower air suction device according to claim 1 , wherein the ambient air opening is spaced apart from the central axis of the blower in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle and the fresh air opening is spaced apart from the ambient air opening in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle.
