The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle, and more particularly, to an air conditioner for a vehicle, which can send air-conditioned air toward a rear seat of the vehicle in order to perform air-conditioning of a front seat of the vehicle and air-conditioning of a rear seat.
In general, an air conditioner for a vehicle is a car part, which is installed in a vehicle for the purpose of cooling or heating the interior of the vehicle in the summer season or the winter season or removing frost from a windshield in the rainy season or the winter season to thereby secure a driver's front and rear visual fields. Such an air conditioner typically includes a heating device and a cooling device together, so that it can heat, cool or ventilate the interior of the vehicle through the steps of selectively introducing the indoor air or the outdoor air into the air conditioner, heating or cooling the introduced air, and blowing the heated or cooled air into the vehicle.
Korean Patent Publication No. 2015-0088577 (Aug. 3, 2015) discloses an air conditioner for a vehicle which controls positions of a rear seat temperature-adjusting door, an auxiliary rear seat temperature-adjusting door and a rear seat on-off door in order to regulate air volume of a rear seat.
The air-conditioning case 10 includes an air inlet 11 and an air outlet, and an air passageway formed therein. A blower unit is connected to the air inlet 11 so that indoor air or outdoor air is selectively introduced into the air passageway formed inside the air-conditioning case 10. The air outlet includes a defrost vent 12, a face vent 13, a floor vent 114, a rear seat face vent 15, and a rear floor vent 16. The air passageway inside the air-conditioning case 10 includes a front seat cold air passageway P1, a warm air passageway P2, and a rear seat cold air passageway P3.
The evaporator 20 is a heat exchanger for cooling and cools air passing through the evaporator 20. The heater core 30 is a heat exchanger for heating and heats air passing through the heater core 30. The heater core 30 is arranged in the warm air passageway P2 which is located downstream of the evaporator 20 in an air flow direction. An electric heater 40, such as a PTC heater, may be further disposed in the warm air passageway P2. The front seat temperature adjusting door 51 is arranged between the evaporator 20 and the heater core 30 in order to adjust the degree of opening of the warm air passageway P2 passing the heater core 30 and the degree of opening of the cold air passageways P1 and P3 bypassing the heater core 30. The front seat mode door includes a defrost door 53, a vent door 54, and a floor door 55.
The rear seat air passageway includes the rear seat cold air passageway P3 that the air passing through the evaporator 20 bypasses the heater core 30 and a warm air passageway passing through the heater core 30. The warm air passageway of the rear seat air passageway is used together with the warm air passageway P2 of the front seat air passageway. That is, some of air passing through the heater core 30 and flowing in the warm air passageway P2 moves upwardly, and then, is discharged to at least one among the defrost vent 12, the face vent 13, and the floor vent 114, and the remainder of the air moves downwardly, and then, is discharged to at least one among the rear seat face vent 15 and the rear seat floor vent 16. A rear seat mode door 58 is disposed in the rear seat air passageway to adjust the degree of opening of the rear seat face vent 15 and the degree of opening of the rear seat floor vent 16.
The air-conditioning case 10 has a rear seat temperature adjusting door 52, an auxiliary rear seat temperature adjusting door 56, and a rear seat on-off door 57 which are disposed in the air-conditioning case 10. The rear seat temperature adjusting door 52 is disposed between the evaporator and the heater core 30 in order to adjust the degree of opening of a passageway flowing to the warm air passageway P2 and a passageway flowing to the rear seat cold air passageway P3. The auxiliary rear seat temperature adjusting door 56 is arranged downstream of the heater core 30 in the air flow direction in order to adjust the degree of opening of a passageway flowing to the rear seat air outlet. The rear seat on-off door 57 adjusts the degree of opening of the rear seat cold air passageway P3.
The conventional air conditioner for a vehicle controls temperature of the front seat of the vehicle through the front seat temperature adjusting door 51, and controls temperature of the rear seat of the vehicle through the rear seat temperature adjusting door 52 and the auxiliary rear seat temperature adjusting door 56. That is, the rear seat temperature adjusting door 52 and the auxiliary rear seat temperature adjusting door 56 are linked with each other in order to control temperature of the rear seat of the vehicle by adjusting the degree of opening of the rear seat cold air passageway P3 and the degree of opening of the warm air passageway P2. In this instance, the auxiliary rear seat temperature adjusting door 56 gets involved in an ON/OFF action of the rear seat cold air passageway P3.
Finally, the conventional air conditioner for a vehicle requires three doors for adjusting temperature of the rear seat, and it results in increase of the number of doors and the number of actuators for actuating the doors, and rises in costs and weight of the air conditioner.
Moreover, in case of the conventional air conditioner for a vehicle, the rear seat mode door 58 can change only the direction of the discharged air and does not discharge air toward the rear seat if the rear seat on-off door 57 is turned off even though the rear seat temperature adjusting door 52 is in the cooling mode. That is, because the rear seat on-off door 57 gets involved in the on-off action of the air volume, it is required to precisely adjust the temperature adjusting doors and the mode doors.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior arts, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an air conditioner for a vehicle which can reduce the number of doors and actuators and control modes and perform on-off actions by just one door.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an air conditioner for a vehicle which can reduce the number of doors, show various air-conditioning modes without deterioration of air-conditioning performance, and provide optimized controls of mode doors.
To accomplish the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided an air conditioner for a vehicle which includes an air-conditioning case having an air passageway formed therein, and a heat exchanger for cooling and a heat exchanger for heating which are disposed in the air passageway of the air-conditioning case to exchange heat with air passing through the air passageway, wherein the air passageway includes: a rear seat cold air passageway which is a passageway that the air passed through the heat exchanger for cooling bypasses the heat exchanger for heating and flows toward a rear seat of the vehicle; and a warm air passageway which is a passageway that the air passed through the heat exchanger for cooling passes through the heat exchanger for heating and flows toward a front seat or the rear seat of the vehicle, and the air conditioner includes a rear seat temperature adjusting door for controlling an amount of air flowing from the warm air passageway to the rear seat air outlet and an amount of air flowing from the rear seat cold air passageway to the rear seat air outlet.
In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an air conditioner for a vehicle including: an air-conditioning case having an air passageway formed therein; a heat exchanger for cooling and a heat exchanger for heating which are disposed in the air passageway of the air-conditioning case to exchange heat with air passing through the air passageway; a front seat temp door for adjusting the degree of opening between a part of a front seat cold air passageway and a part of a warm air passageway; a first rear seat temp door arranged between the heat exchanger for cooling and the heat exchanger for heating to adjust the degree of opening of another part of the warm air passageway; a second rear seat temp door arranged downstream of the heat exchanger for heating to adjust the degree of opening between the warm air passageway and the rear seat cold air passageway; and a rear seat mode door arranged downstream of the second rear seat temp door to adjust the degree of opening of the rear seat air outlet.
The air conditioner for a vehicle according to the present invention can adjust temperature of the rear seat through the dome-shaped rear seat temperature adjusting door, optimize location and shape of the dome-shaped door through one door and one actuator, and secure an additional flow channel to perform heating and cooling, thereby reducing the number of components, costs and weight.
Moreover, because the air conditioner includes the rear seat temperature adjusting door, which is one dome-shaped door, and the rear seat mode door, which is one rotary type door, the air conditioner according to the present invention can reduce the number of doors and actuators for actuating the doors and sufficiently perform the cooling mode, the heating mode and various air-conditioning modes, namely, the vent mode, the floor mode, the bi-level mode, and the off mode.
Furthermore, the air conditioner for a vehicle according to the present invention can realize a three-zone air conditioner which can reduce the number of doors and perform control of the rear seat air-conditioning smoothly. Therefore, the air conditioner for a vehicle according to the present invention can reduce the number of the components, manufacturing costs, and weight and volume of the air conditioner.
Additionally, because the location of the first rear seat temp door is changed according to the front seat conditions, the air conditioner for a vehicle according to the present invention can maximize performance of the heater core at the front seat by guiding all of the air to flow to the warm air passageway P2 so as to enhance heating performance.
In addition, because the first rear seat temp door guides the air existing in the dome toward the warm air passageway in the case that the front seat temp door is not in the maximum cooling mode of the front seat, the inner face of the streamlined dome can guide the air passed through the evaporator toward the heater core of the warm air passageway more smoothly.
As shown in
The air-conditioning case 110 includes an air inlet 111, air outlets, and the air passageway formed therein. A blower unit is connected to the air inlet 111 so that indoor air or outdoor air are selectively introduced into the air passageway of the air-conditioning case 110. The air outlets are a front seat air outlet having a defrost vent 112, a front seat face vent 113 and a front seat floor vent 114, and a rear seat air outlet having a rear seat face vent 115 and a rear seat floor vent 116. The air passageway inside the air-conditioning case 110 includes a front seat cold air passageway P1, a warm air passageway P2, and a rear seat cold air passageway P3.
The heat exchanger for cooling is an evaporator 120. The evaporator 120 cools air by exchanging heat between refrigerant flowing in the evaporator 120 and air passing through the evaporator 120. The heat exchanger for heating is a heater core 130. The heater core 130 heats air by exchanging heat between cooling water flowing in the heater core 130 and air passing through the heater core 130. The heater core 130 is arranged in a warm air passageway P2, which is located downstream of the evaporator 120 in an air flow direction. An electric heater 140, such as a PTC heater, may be further disposed in the warm air passageway P2.
The air-conditioning case 110 has a front seat air outlet for discharging air toward a front seat of the vehicle, and the front seat air outlet is controlled in the degree of opening by a front seat mode door. The front seat mode door includes a defrost door 153 for adjusting the degree of opening of the defrost vent 112, a vent door 154 for adjusting the degree of opening of the front seat face vent 113, and a floor door 155 for adjusting the degree of opening of the front seat floor vent 114. Furthermore, the air-conditioning case 110 has a rear seat air outlet for discharging air toward a rear seat of the vehicle. The rear seat air outlet includes a plurality of vents for discharging air toward parts of the rear seat of the vehicle, namely, a rear seat face vent 115 and a rear seat floor vent 116.
The air passageway in the air-conditioning case 110 includes a front seat cold air passageway P1, a rear seat cold air passageway P3, and a warm air passageway P2. The front seat cold air passageway P1 is a passageway that air passing through the evaporator 120 bypasses the heater core 130 and flows toward the front seat of the vehicle. The rear seat cold air passageway P3 is a passageway that the air passing through the evaporator 120 bypasses the heater core 130 and flows toward the rear seat of the vehicle. The warm air passageway P2 is a passageway that the air passing through the evaporator 120 passes through the heater core 130 and flows toward the front seat or the rear seat of the vehicle.
The air conditioner for a vehicle includes a front seat temperature adjusting door 171, a rear seat temperature adjusting door 180, and a rear seat mode door 190.
The front seat temperature adjusting door 171 controls the degree of opening of the front seat cold air passageway P1 and the degree of opening of the warm air passageway P2. The front seat temperature adjusting door 171 selectively controls the air passed the evaporator 20 to bypass the heater core 130 or to pass through the heater core 130 so as to control temperature of the air discharged to the interior of the vehicle. The front seat temperature adjusting door 171 may be formed singly or plurally.
The rear seat temperature adjusting door 180 controls an amount of air flowing from the warm air passageway P2 to the rear seat air outlet and an amount of air flowing from the rear seat cold air passageway P3 to the rear seat air outlet.
The rear seat temperature adjusting door 180 is formed in a dome type. The rear seat temperature adjusting door 180 is mounted to rotate around a rotary shaft 181 inside the air-conditioning case 110. A dome-shaped part 182 is arranged to be spaced apart from the rotary shaft 181 in a radial direction, and is supported on the rotary shaft 181 by a side plate part. The dome-shaped part 182 performs a blocking function to close the air passageway and a guiding function to smoothly move the air toward the rear seat air outlet.
The rear seat temperature adjusting door 180 controls the degree of opening between the warm air passageway P2 and the rear seat cold air passageway P3 downstream of the heater core 130 in an air flow direction. The rear seat temperature adjusting door 180 guides the air of the warm air passageway P2 toward the rear seat air outlet along an inner face of the dome-shaped part 182 when closing the rear seat cold air passageway P3.
As described above, compared with the conventional structure requiring at least three doors and two actuators, the dome-shaped rear seat temperature adjusting door 180 optimizes location and shape of the dome-shaped door through one door and one actuator and secures an additional flow channel to perform heating and cooling, thereby reducing the number of components, costs and weight.

Referring to
The rear seat mode door 190 is formed singly, and selectively moves the air inside the air-conditioning case 110 to at least one among the rear seat air outlets. The rear seat mode door 190 performs an on-off action to open or block the air passageway toward the rear seat air outlet.
The rear seat mode door 190 is formed in a rotary type. The rear seat mode door 190 is mounted to rotate around a rotary shaft 191 in the air-conditioning case 110. The rear seat mode door 190 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and includes a first rotary part 192 and a second rotary part 193 which are opposite to each other based on the rotary shaft 191. Opening parts 194 are formed between the first rotary part 192 and the second rotary part 193.
The rear seat air outlet includes a first vent and a second vent formed perpendicularly to the first vent. That is, the first vent is a rear seat face vent 115, and the second vent is a rear seat floor vent 116. As described above, the rear seat mode door 190 having the opening parts 194 formed at both sides is formed between the first rotary part 192 and the second rotary part 193 which are opposite to each other to optimize locations of the vents of the rear seat air outlets, so that the air conditioner can perform various air-conditioning modes and the on-off function through just one door.
In a rear seat off mode to block the air from being discharged to the rear seat air outlet, the first rotary part 192 and the second rotary part 193 close all of the rear seat air outlets to have a double sealing structure. The first rotary part 192 and the second rotary part 193 are longer than diameters of a passageway of the rear seat face vent 115 and a passageway of the rear seat floor vent 116. That is, the rotary parts protrude more than the vents in a state where the vents are covered. Through the above structure, a floor mode can be formed. When the rear seat mode door 190 is rotated more in the floor mode, an off mode can be performed to close all of the rear seat floor vent 116 and the rear seat face vent 115.
In the meantime, the rotary shaft 181 of the rear seat temperature adjusting door 180 is arranged between the heater core 130 and the rear seat mode door 190. Moreover, the dome-shaped part 182 of the rear seat temperature adjusting door 180 is arranged toward the heater core 130 to be operated. Through the above structure, a space of a rear seat mixing zone is increased, and an increase in air volume toward the rear seat may be achieved.
Additionally, the rear seat temperature adjusting door 180 is formed such that a length (b) from the rotary shaft 181 to the center of the dome-shaped part 182 is shorter than a length (a) from the rotary shaft 181 to both ends of the dome-shaped part 182. That is, the rear seat temperature adjusting door 180 has the dome-shaped structure and is flatter than a round dome shape so as to reduce a back-and-forth width of the vehicle. Therefore, the air conditioner can reduce a package of the HVAC.
As described above, because the air conditioner includes the rear seat temperature adjusting door 180, which is one dome-shaped door, and the rear seat mode door 190, which is one rotary type door, the air conditioner according to the present invention can reduce the number of doors and actuators for actuating the doors and sufficiently perform the cooling mode, the heating mode and various air-conditioning modes, namely, the vent mode, the floor mode, the bi-level mode, and the off mode.
The air-conditioning case 210 has an air inlet 211 and air outlets, and the air passageway formed therein.

Moreover, the air-conditioning case 210 has a rear seat air outlet for discharging air toward the rear seat of the vehicle, and the rear seat air outlet is controlled in the degree of opening by the rear seat mode door 258.
The air conditioner for a vehicle has a front seat temp door 271. The front seat temp door 271 adjusts the degree of opening between a part of the front seat cold air passageway P1 and a part of the warm air passageway P2. The front seat temp door 271 is arranged at downstream side adjacent to the evaporator 220 and is located at a boundary where the front seat cold air passageway P1 and the warm air passageway P2 branch off. The front seat temp door 271 is a tail door having plate members formed at both sides around a rotary shaft which is a driving shaft.
That is, the front seat temp door 271 has a rotary shaft, a first door part, and a second door part. The rotary shaft of the front seat temp door 271 is mounted adjacent to a lower end of an outlet of the warm air passageway P2. The first door part is formed at one side around the rotary shaft to adjust the degree of opening of upper parts of inlets of the cold air passageway P1 and the warm air passageway P2. The second door is formed at the other side around the rotary shaft to adjust the degree of opening of a front seat outlet of the warm air passageway P2.
The air conditioner for a vehicle according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention is to control temperature of the driver's seat, the front passenger's seat, and three independent zones of the rear seat, and the three doors control temperature of the rear seat. That is, the air conditioner for a vehicle includes a first rear seat temp door 272, a second rear seat temp door 259, and the rear seat mode door 258.
The first rear seat temp door 272 is arranged between the evaporator 220 and the heater core 230 to adjust the degree of opening of the other part of the warm air passageway P2. That is, the first rear seat temp door 272 adjusts the degree of opening of a lower part of an inlet of the warm air passageway P2 which is not covered by the front seat temp door 271.
The second rear seat temp door 259 is arranged downstream of the heater core 230, and adjusts the degree of opening of the warm air passageway P2 and the rear seat cold air passageway P3. The second rear seat temp door 259 is a dome door type. The warm air passageway P2 and the rear seat cold air passageway P3 downstream of the heater core 230 are communicated with each other. The second rear seat temp door 259 is arranged in a communication path between the warm air passageway P2 and the rear seat cold air passageway P3 downstream of the heater core 230. That is, the second rear seat temp door 259 adjusts the degree of opening of the communication path between the warm air passageway P2 and the cold air passageway P3 and the rear seat cold air passageway P3.
The rear seat mode door 258 is arranged downstream of the second rear seat temp door 150 to adjust the degree of opening of the rear seat air outlet. The rear seat mode door 258 is a dome-shaped door. The rear seat mode door 258 adjusts the degree of opening between the rear seat air passageway, the console vent 215, and the rear seat floor vent 216.
That is, the rear seat mode door 258 is rotated to the maximum in the counterclockwise direction in
The air conditioner for a vehicle controls temperature of the rear seat using the first rear seat temp door 272 and the second rear seat temp door 259. Furthermore, the air conditioner for a vehicle controls opening (on) and closing (off) of the rear seat air passageway using the rear seat mode door 258. As described above, compared with the conventional air conditioner, the air conditioner for a vehicle according to the present invention can realize a three-zone air conditioner which can reduce the number of doors and perform control of the rear seat air-conditioning smoothly. Therefore, the air conditioner for a vehicle according to the present invention can reduce the number of the components, manufacturing costs, and weight and volume of the air conditioner.
Under a condition that the rear seat mode door 258 closes the rear seat air passageway, the location of the first rear seat temp door 272 is changed according to front seat conditions. In detail, when the rear seat mode door 258 closes the rear seat air passageway, in case that the front seat temp door 271 is in the maximum cooling mode of the front seat, the first rear seat temp door 272 is in the maximum cooling mode of the rear seat.
Additionally, when the rear seat mode door 258 closes the rear seat air passageway, the first rear seat temp door 272 is located in the maximum heating mode of the rear seat in case that the front seat temp door 271 is not in the maximum cooling mode of the front seat, the first rear seat temp door 272 is in the maximum heating mode of the rear seat. In this instance, the front seat temp door 271 is in the maximum heating mode or a mixing mode of the front seat in case that the front seat temp door 271 is not in the maximum cooling mode of the front seat.
As described above, because the location of the first rear seat temp door 272 is changed according to the front seat conditions, the air conditioner can maximize performance of the heater core 230 at the front seat by guiding all of the air to flow to the warm air passageway P2 so as to enhance heating performance.
The first rear seat temp door 272 is a dome-shaped door. The first rear seat temp door 272 is located to close the warm air passageway P2 under the condition of the maximum cooling mode, and is located to partition the evaporator 220 and the heater core 230 under the condition of the maximum heating mode.
That is, the first rear seat temp door 272 guides the air existing in the dome toward the warm air passageway P2 in the case that the front seat temp door 271 is not in the maximum cooling mode of the front seat. Through the above structure, the inner face of the streamlined dome can guide the air passed through the evaporator 220 toward the heater core 230 of the warm air passageway P2 more smoothly.
The first rear seat temp door 272 is formed to always open the rear seat cold air passageway P3. That is, the first rear seat temp door 272 does not perform the on-off action of the rear seat cold air passageway P3 but performs the opening and closing function of the warm air passageway P2 and an air guiding function in order to enhance performance of the heater core. Furthermore, the on-off action of the rear seat cold air passageway P3 is performed by the rear seat mode door 258, so that the air conditioner can reduce the number of doors and smoothly perform the on-off action for the rear seat air-conditioning.
In the meantime, the first rear seat temp door 272 and the second rear seat temp door 258 are controlled to adjust temperature of the rear seat. That is, in the maximum cooling mode, the first rear seat temp door 272 closes the warm air passageway P2, and the second rear seat temp door 259 closes the communication path between the warm air passageway P2 and the rear seat cold air passageway P3 downstream of the heater core 230. Moreover, in the maximum heating mode, the dome-shaped inner face of the first rear seat temp door 272 is located to guide air toward the warm air passageway P2, and the second rear seat temp door 259 is located to close the rear seat cold air passageway P3.
Furthermore, in the mixing mode, the dome-shaped inner face of the first rear seat temp door 272 is located to guide the air toward the warm air passageway P2, and the second rear seat temp door 259 is located between the communication path between the warm air passageway P2 and the rear seat cold air passageway P3 downstream of the heater core 230 and the rear seat cold air passageway P3.
In this instance, the first rear seat temp door 272 opens the warm air passageway P2, and the second rear seat temp door 259 is locate at the center to open the communication path among the rear seat cold air passageway P3, the warm air passageway and the rear seat cold air passageway in order to adjust temperature. Moreover, the rear seat mode door 258 is located in the middle of the console vent 215 and the rear seat floor vent 216 to realize the bi-level mode.
