Description

本発明は、エアアウトレットに関し、更に詳細には、ダクトに連結される空気導入口および空気吹出口を有した筒状のケース部材と、このケース部材内の空気流通空間に姿勢変位可能に配設されたダンパー部材とを備え、前記ダンパー部材の姿勢変位により前記空気流通空間を開閉するよう構成したエアアウトレットに関するものである。   The present invention relates to an air outlet, and more specifically, a cylindrical case member having an air inlet and an air outlet connected to a duct, and a posture displaceable in an air circulation space in the case member. The air outlet is configured to open and close the air circulation space by a displacement of the damper member.

乗用車等の車両乗員室内には、例えばインストルメントパネル、フロアコンソール、ルーフパネル等の種々車両内装部材が設置されている。そして、これら車両内装部材の所要位置には、空気ダクトを介してエアコンユニットに連通接続されたエアアウトレットが配設され、該エアコンユニットから送出される調温空気を車両乗員室内の適宜方向に向けて吹出すようになっている。   Various vehicle interior members such as an instrument panel, a floor console, and a roof panel are installed in a vehicle passenger compartment such as a passenger car. An air outlet connected to the air conditioner unit via an air duct is disposed at a required position of these vehicle interior members, and temperature-controlled air sent from the air conditioner unit is directed in an appropriate direction in the vehicle passenger compartment. It comes to blow out.

図7は、フィンタイプのエアアウトレットを、各構成部品を分解または省略した状態で示した概略斜視図であり、図8は、このエアアウトレットをダクトに接続した状態で示した説明断面図である。エアアウトレットAV1は、ダクトDに連結される空気導入口12および乗員室へ開口する空気吹出口14を有した角筒状のケース部材10と、空気吹出口14から吹出す空気の吹出し方向を調整する風向制御機構20と、この空気吹出口14からの空気の吹出しを許容・規制または調整するダンパー機構30とから基本的に構成されている。風向制御機構20は、上下方向へ所要間隔毎に配設されて図示しない連結部材により同期的に姿勢変位する複数の横フィン22と、左右方向へ所要間隔毎に配設されて図示しない連結部材により同期的に姿勢変位する複数の縦フィン24とから構成され、これら横フィン22および縦フィン24の角度を調節することで乗員室内へ吹出す空気の吹出し方向を上下・左右に調整し得る。   FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view showing the fin-type air outlet in a state where each component is disassembled or omitted, and FIG. 8 is an explanatory sectional view showing the air outlet connected to a duct. . The air outlet AV1 adjusts the air inlet 12 connected to the duct D and the rectangular tubular case member 10 having the air outlet 14 that opens to the passenger compartment, and the direction of the air blown out from the air outlet 14 And a damper mechanism 30 that allows, regulates, or adjusts the air blowing from the air outlet 14. The wind direction control mechanism 20 includes a plurality of lateral fins 22 that are disposed in the vertical direction at required intervals and synchronously displaced by connection members (not shown), and a connection member that is disposed in the left and right directions at required intervals and is not shown. Therefore, by adjusting the angles of the horizontal fins 22 and the vertical fins 24, the blowing direction of the air blown into the passenger compartment can be adjusted vertically and horizontally.

ダンパー機構30は、ケース部材10の内部において前述した風向制御機構20の後方側に配設され、該ケース部材10内に画成した空気流通空間15を非連通状態(全閉状態)および連通状態(全開状態)となるよう姿勢変位可能なダンパー部材31と、このダンパー部材31に連繋した状態でケース部材10の外側(下側)に配設され、該ダンパー部材31の姿勢変位させるための操作部材34とから構成されている。ダンパー部材31は、ダンパー本体32の上端縁中央および下端縁中央において同一軸線上に突設された回動支軸36,36を、ケース部材10の上壁部および下壁部に形成した支持孔16,16に嵌合させることで、該ケース部材10内で回動的に姿勢変位可能となっている。また操作部材34は、ケース部材10の下側に突設した支軸18に回動可能に配設され、ケース部材10の前面パネル部10Aから乗員室へ露出する指先操作部34Aと、ダンパー本体32の下側の回動支軸36に装着された連結部材38に係合するレバー部34Bとからなっている。   The damper mechanism 30 is disposed inside the case member 10 on the rear side of the wind direction control mechanism 20 described above, and the air circulation space 15 defined in the case member 10 is in a non-communication state (fully closed state) and a communication state. A damper member 31 whose posture can be displaced so as to be in a (fully opened state), and an operation for disposing the damper member 31 disposed on the outside (lower side) of the case member 10 in a state of being connected to the damper member 31. The member 34 is comprised. The damper member 31 has support holes formed on the upper wall portion and the lower wall portion of the case member 10 with rotational support shafts 36 and 36 projecting on the same axis at the center of the upper end edge and the center of the lower end edge of the damper body 32. By being fitted to 16, 16, the posture of the case member 10 can be rotationally displaced. The operation member 34 is rotatably disposed on a support shaft 18 projecting from the lower side of the case member 10, and a fingertip operation unit 34 </ b> A exposed from the front panel portion 10 </ b> A of the case member 10 to the passenger compartment, and a damper main body. And a lever portion 34B that engages with a connecting member 38 that is mounted on a rotation support shaft 36 on the lower side.

従って、指先操作部34Aを介して操作部材34を正面右方向へ回動させると、図8に2点鎖線表示したように、該操作部材34は図8において反時計方向へ回動するため、ダンパー部材31はケース部材10内の空気流通空間15を非連通状態とした第1位置へ姿勢変位し、空気吹出口14から空気が吹出すことを規制する。また、指先操作部34Aを介して操作部材34を正面左方向へ回動させると、図8に実線表示したように、該操作部材34は図8において時計方向へ回動するため、ダンパー部材31はケース部材10内の空気流通空間15を連通状態とした第2位置へ姿勢変位し、空気吹出口14から空気が吹出すことを許容する。なお、図7および図8に例示したダンパー機構はリンク機構となっているが、図示省略するがこの他にギア機構を利用したものもある。なお、このようなエアアウトレットのダンパー構造は、例えば特許文献1および特許文献2等に開示されている。

Therefore, when the operation member 34 is rotated to the front right via the fingertip operation unit 34A, the operation member 34 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 8 as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The damper member 31 is displaced in the posture to the first position where the air circulation space 15 in the case member 10 is in a non-communication state, and restricts air from being blown out from the air outlet 14. Further, when the operating member 34 is rotated to the front left direction via the fingertip operating portion 34A, the operating member 34 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 8 as indicated by a solid line in FIG. Is displaced to the second position where the air circulation space 15 in the case member 10 is in a communicating state, and air is allowed to blow out from the air outlet 14. Although the damper mechanism illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 is a link mechanism, although not shown, there are other mechanisms that use a gear mechanism. Such an air outlet damper structure is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2.
JP 2003-341356 A JP 2000-335234 A

ところで、図7に例示したダンパー構造や特許文献1および特許文献2に開示されたダンパー構造は、何れもダンパー部材31のダンパー本体32に設けた回動支軸36,36を、ケース部材10に設けた対応の支持孔16,16へ夫々嵌合させることで、該ダンパー部材31は固定的(移動不能)に支持された回動支軸36,36を中心として回動する所謂「固定回動タイプ」である。このため図8に図示したように、ダンパー部材31が第2位置へ姿勢変位する際に、ダンパー本体32の外周部分に設けたシール部33が風向制御機構20の縦フィン24と干渉するのを防止するため、ダンパー部材31の外形サイズに合わせて支持孔16,16をケース部材10の後方側に設定する必要がある。これに伴い、ダンパー部材31が第1位置へ姿勢変位した際に、シール部33がケース部材10の内壁面に接触するシールポイントSPは、図8に図示したように、ケース部材10の空気吹出口14からかなり奥まった位置となるので、ケース部材10の全長L1が必然的に大きくなってしまい、エアアウトレットAV1の大型化および重量化を招来する問題を内在していた。   By the way, the damper structure illustrated in FIG. 7 and the damper structures disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 both have the rotation support shafts 36 and 36 provided on the damper main body 32 of the damper member 31 on the case member 10. The damper member 31 is rotated around the rotation support shafts 36 and 36 that are fixedly (immovable) by being fitted into the corresponding support holes 16 and 16 provided, so-called “fixed rotation”. Type ". Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, when the damper member 31 is displaced to the second position, the seal portion 33 provided on the outer peripheral portion of the damper main body 32 interferes with the vertical fins 24 of the wind direction control mechanism 20. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to set the support holes 16, 16 on the rear side of the case member 10 in accordance with the outer size of the damper member 31. Accordingly, when the damper member 31 is displaced to the first position, the seal point SP at which the seal portion 33 comes into contact with the inner wall surface of the case member 10 is the air blowing of the case member 10 as shown in FIG. Since the position is considerably deeper from the outlet 14, the total length L1 of the case member 10 is inevitably increased, and the problem of increasing the size and weight of the air outlet AV1 is inherent.

更に、エアアウトレットAV1の大型化に伴い、次に指摘するような弊害が併発していた。すなわち、インストルメントパネル等の車両内装部材IPでは、その内側にその他種々の車載機器や部品等が数多く配設されているため、図8に例示したように、該車両内装部材IPの内壁面とダクトDの後端面との間隔Hを大きく設定できない制約がある。このような場合では、エアアウトレットAV1が連結されるダクトDの空気流出口D1の近傍部分、すなわち該ダクトDの下流端部分D2が、略直角に折曲してダクト曲がりRが小さくなり、特に内側の曲がりRがかなり小さくなってしまう。このため、折曲した下流端部分D2の内側で空気の流通に乱れが発生し易く、流通抵抗の増加および流通速度の低下等が発生して流通効率が悪化する弊害が起こってしまう。   Furthermore, with the increase in size of the air outlet AV1, the following harmful effects have occurred. That is, in the vehicle interior member IP such as an instrument panel, since various other in-vehicle devices and parts are arranged inside the vehicle interior member IP, as illustrated in FIG. There is a restriction that the distance H from the rear end face of the duct D cannot be set large. In such a case, the vicinity of the air outlet D1 of the duct D to which the air outlet AV1 is connected, that is, the downstream end portion D2 of the duct D is bent at a substantially right angle, and the duct bend R becomes small. The inner bend R becomes considerably small. For this reason, air flow is likely to be disturbed inside the bent downstream end portion D2, causing an increase in flow resistance and a decrease in flow speed, resulting in a problem that the flow efficiency deteriorates.

しかも前述したダンパー部材31は、図8から明らかなように、第2位置へ姿勢変位しても殆どケース部材10内に位置することとなるため、ダクトDの空気流出口D1に臨むよう折曲した下流端部分D2における流通空気の整流化を図る機能は殆どなかった。換言すると、従来のエアアウトレットでは、ダンパー部材31に整流機能を併有させる思想はなかった。   In addition, as is clear from FIG. 8, the damper member 31 described above is almost located in the case member 10 even if the posture is displaced to the second position, and therefore the damper member 31 is bent so as to face the air outlet D1 of the duct D. There was almost no function to rectify the circulating air in the downstream end portion D2. In other words, the conventional air outlet has no idea of causing the damper member 31 to have a rectifying function.

従って本発明では、外形サイズを小さくして小型化を図り、ダクトから流入する空気の流通効率の向上を図り得るようにしたエアアウトレットのダクト構造を提供することを目的とする。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a duct structure for an air outlet which can be reduced in size by reducing the outer size and can improve the flow efficiency of air flowing in from the duct.

A first support hole 42 is formed in the left wall portion and the right wall portion to rotatably support the horizontal fins 22 in the wind direction control mechanism 20, and the vertical fins 24 are formed in the upper wall portion and the lower wall portion. A second support hole 44 is formed to rotatably support the. Further, on the rear side of the upper wall portion and the lower wall portion, a guide groove 46, in which a first support portion 66, 66 and a second support portion 68, 68 provided on a damper member 62 described later are slidably fitted. 46 is formed. Further, a support shaft 18 for projectingly supporting the operation member 64 is provided on the outer side of the front portion of the lower wall portion. In such a case member 10, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the front panel portion 10 </ b> A is aligned with the mounting opening B of the vehicle interior member IP, and the rear end portion is connected to the air outlet D <b> 1 of the duct D. The inside of the duct D and the inside of the case member 10 (the air circulation space 15) are communicated spatially.

風向制御機構20は、基本的には図7に例示した従来のエアアウトレットと同一であって、上下方向へ所要間隔毎に配設されて図示しない連結部材により同期的に姿勢変位する複数の横フィン22と、左右方向へ所要間隔毎に配設されて図示しない連結部材により同期的に姿勢変位する複数の縦フィン24とから構成されている。そして、上下の中央に設置された横フィン22に、各横フィン22および各縦フィン24の角度調整を行なうためのスライドレバー52が配設されており、このスライドレバー52を把持して上下方向へ捻ることで各横フィン22の角度調整を行なうことができ、まだ該スライドレバー52を左右方向へスライドさせることで各縦フィン24の角度調整を行なうことができる。従って、これら縦フィン24および横フィン22の角度を調節することで、空気吹出口14を介して乗員室内へ吹出す空気の吹出し方向を上下・左右に調整し得る。   The air direction control mechanism 20 is basically the same as the conventional air outlet illustrated in FIG. 7, and is arranged in a plurality of horizontal positions that are arranged in the vertical direction at required intervals and that are synchronously displaced by a connecting member (not shown). The fins 22 are composed of a plurality of vertical fins 24 that are disposed at required intervals in the left-right direction and that are displaced in posture synchronously by a connecting member (not shown). Slide levers 52 for adjusting the angles of the horizontal fins 22 and the vertical fins 24 are arranged on the horizontal fins 22 installed at the upper and lower centers. The angle of each horizontal fin 22 can be adjusted by twisting, and the angle of each vertical fin 24 can be adjusted by sliding the slide lever 52 in the left-right direction. Therefore, by adjusting the angles of the vertical fins 24 and the horizontal fins 22, it is possible to adjust the blowing direction of the air blown into the passenger compartment through the air outlet 14 in the vertical and horizontal directions.

本実施例のダンパー機構60は、ケース部材10の内部において前述した風向制御機構20の後方側に配設され、該ケース部材10内の空気流通空間15を非連通状態(全閉状態)および連通状態(全開状態)となるよう姿勢変位可能なダンパー部材62と、このダンパー部材62に連繋した状態でケース部材10の外側(下側)に配設され、該ダンパー部材62を姿勢変位させるための操作部材64とから構成されている。そして、この操作部材64に対する指先操作により、ダンパー部材62を、空気流通空間15を非連通状態とした第1位置(図3,図4)および該空気流通空間15を連通状態とした第2位置(図5,図6)に姿勢変位させ得るようになっている。   The damper mechanism 60 according to the present embodiment is disposed inside the case member 10 on the rear side of the wind direction control mechanism 20 described above, and the air circulation space 15 in the case member 10 is in a non-communication state (fully closed state) and a communication state. A damper member 62 whose position can be displaced so as to be in a state (fully opened state), and disposed on the outside (lower side) of the case member 10 in a state of being connected to the damper member 62, for displacing the damper member 62. The operation member 64 is comprised. Then, by the fingertip operation with respect to the operation member 64, the damper member 62 is moved to the first position (FIGS. 3 and 4) where the air circulation space 15 is not in communication and the second position where the air circulation space 15 is in communication. The posture can be displaced as shown in FIGS.

本実施例のダンパー機構60では、ケース部材10の内部に収納されたダンパー部材62が、該ケース部材10内(空気流通空間15)をスライドしながら移動することで、該空気流通空間15を開閉するよう姿勢変位することを特徴としている。このようなスライド移動を実現するためダンパー部材62は、ダンパー本体63の上端縁および下端縁に、前述したガイド溝46,46へ摺動可能に嵌合する第1支持部66,66および第2支持部68,68が突設されている。ここで、ケース部材10の上壁部および下壁部に形成されたガイド溝46,46は、図1および図2に図示したように、ケース部材10の長手方向、すなわち空気流通空間15における空気流通方向と同一方向に延在する第1ガイド部48と、該ケース部材10の短手方向、すなわち該空気流通空間15における空気流通方向と交差する方向に延在する第2ガイド部50とからなり、全体的には「略く字状」に折曲した形態となっている。なお、下壁部に形成されたガイド溝46においては、第2ガイド部50だけが貫通孔となっており、前述した第2支持部68の挿通を許容し得る。   In the damper mechanism 60 of the present embodiment, the damper member 62 housed in the case member 10 moves while sliding in the case member 10 (air circulation space 15), thereby opening and closing the air circulation space 15. It is characterized by the displacement of the posture. In order to realize such sliding movement, the damper member 62 includes first and second support portions 66 and 66 that are slidably fitted into the above-described guide grooves 46 and 46 at the upper and lower edges of the damper main body 63, respectively. Supporting portions 68 and 68 are projected. Here, the guide grooves 46, 46 formed in the upper wall portion and the lower wall portion of the case member 10 are formed in the longitudinal direction of the case member 10, that is, in the air circulation space 15, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. From the first guide portion 48 extending in the same direction as the flow direction and the second guide portion 50 extending in the short direction of the case member 10, that is, in the direction intersecting the air flow direction in the air flow space 15. As a whole, it is bent into a “substantially square shape”. In the guide groove 46 formed in the lower wall portion, only the second guide portion 50 is a through hole, and the insertion of the second support portion 68 described above can be allowed.

従ってダンパー部材62は、ガイド溝46,46の第1ガイド部48,48に沿って摺動することで空気流通方向へ移動可能に配設される第1支持部66,66と、該ガイド溝46,46の第2ガイド部50,50に沿って摺動することで空気流通方向と交差する方向へ移動可能に配設される第2支持部68,68とを有している。これによりダンパー部材62の姿勢変位は、後述するように、操作部材64の操作に基づいて第1支持部66,66および第2支持部68,68が、夫々ガイド溝46,46の第1ガイド部48,48および第2ガイド部50,50に沿って移動することで、曲線的にスライドしながら移動するようになる。   Accordingly, the damper member 62 includes the first support portions 66 and 66 disposed so as to be movable in the air flow direction by sliding along the first guide portions 48 and 48 of the guide grooves 46 and 46, and the guide grooves. It has the 2nd support parts 68 and 68 arrange | positioned so that it can move to the direction which cross | intersects an air distribution direction by sliding along the 2nd guide parts 50 and 50 of 46,46. As a result, the posture displacement of the damper member 62 is caused by the first support portions 66, 66 and the second support portions 68, 68 based on the operation of the operation member 64, as will be described later, in the first guides 46, 46, respectively. By moving along the parts 48 and 48 and the second guide parts 50 and 50, the parts move while sliding along a curve.

操作部材64は、ケース部材10の下側に突設した支軸18に回動可能に配設される円形状の本体部70と、この本体部70の端面に形成されて前面パネル部10Aの開口部40から乗員室へ露出する指先操作部72と、この本体部70の端面に形成されて、ガイド溝46の第2ガイド部50から延出した第2支持部68に係合するレバー部74,74とから構成されている。従って、指先で指先操作部72を利用して操作部材64を回動させることで、レバー部74,74は指先操作方向と反対方向へ移動するようになり、これにより第2支持部68を移動させるようになる。   The operating member 64 is formed on a circular main body 70 rotatably disposed on a support shaft 18 projecting from the lower side of the case member 10, and is formed on an end surface of the main body 70, so that the front panel 10 </ b> A is formed. A fingertip operating portion 72 exposed to the passenger compartment from the opening 40 and a lever portion formed on the end surface of the main body portion 70 and engaged with the second support portion 68 extending from the second guide portion 50 of the guide groove 46. 74, 74. Accordingly, by rotating the operation member 64 using the fingertip operation part 72 with the fingertip, the lever parts 74 and 74 move in the direction opposite to the fingertip operation direction, thereby moving the second support part 68. Will come to let you.

例えば、図3および図4に例示したように、指先操作部72を正面右方向へ移動させた場合、操作部材64は図3において反時計方向へ回動してレバー部74,74が左方向へ移動するため、第2支持部68はガイド溝46における第2ガイド部50の左端まで移動するようになる。これによりダンパー部材62は、夫々の第2支持部68,68が対応の第2ガイド部50,50の左端へ移動すると共に、夫々の第1支持部66,66が対応の第1ガイド部48,48の前端へ移動するようになるから、図3に例示したように、ケース部材10を非連通状態とする第1位置へスライド移動しながら姿勢変位するようになる。   For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the fingertip operation unit 72 is moved rightward in the front direction, the operation member 64 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 3, and the lever portions 74 and 74 are moved leftward. Therefore, the second support portion 68 moves to the left end of the second guide portion 50 in the guide groove 46. As a result, the damper member 62 moves to the left end of the corresponding second guide portion 50, 50, and the first support portion 66, 66 corresponds to the corresponding first guide portion 48. 48, as shown in FIG. 3, the position of the case member 10 is displaced while sliding to the first position where the case member 10 is brought into a non-communication state.

一方、図5および図6に例示したように、指先操作部72を正面左方向へ移動させた場合、操作部材64は図5において時計方向へ回動してレバー部74,74が右方向へ移動するため、第2支持部68はガイド溝46における第2ガイド部50の右端まで移動するようになる。これによりダンパー部材62は、夫々の第2支持部68,68が対応の第2ガイド部50,50の右端へ移動すると共に、夫々の第1支持部66,66が対応の第1ガイド部48,48の後端へ移動するようになるから、図5に例示したように、ケース部材10を連通状態とした第2位置へスライド移動しながら姿勢変位するようになる。   On the other hand, as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the fingertip operation unit 72 is moved to the front left direction, the operation member 64 rotates clockwise in FIG. 5 and the lever portions 74 and 74 move to the right direction. In order to move, the second support portion 68 moves to the right end of the second guide portion 50 in the guide groove 46. As a result, the damper member 62 moves to the right end of the corresponding second guide portion 50, 50 with the respective second support portion 68, 68, and the first guide portion 48 with the corresponding first support portion 66, 66. , 48 are moved to the rear ends, and as illustrated in FIG. 5, the case member 10 is displaced while being slid to the second position where the case member 10 is in the communication state.

すなわち本実施例のダンパー機構60では、操作部材64の指先操作に基づき、第1支持部66,66および第2支持部68,68が、空気流通方向と同一方向(ケース部材10の長手方向)および空気流通方向と交差する方向(ケース部材10の短手方向)へ夫々移動することで、ダンパー部材62が姿勢変位する。換言するとダンパー部材62は、ヒンジポイントである回動支軸36が固定される従来のダンパー部材31とは異なり、ケース部材10の長手方向(前後方向)へ移動することで第1位置と第2位置との間で姿勢変位するようになる。   That is, in the damper mechanism 60 of the present embodiment, the first support portions 66 and 66 and the second support portions 68 and 68 are in the same direction as the air flow direction (longitudinal direction of the case member 10) based on the fingertip operation of the operation member 64. Further, the damper member 62 is displaced in posture by moving in the direction intersecting with the air flow direction (short direction of the case member 10). In other words, the damper member 62 moves in the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction) of the case member 10 unlike the conventional damper member 31 to which the rotation support shaft 36 that is a hinge point is fixed. The posture is displaced between the positions.

これにより、ダンパー部材62が第1位置へ姿勢変位する際には、図3に図示したように、該ダンパー部材62の後部側が前方へスライドしながら移動するようになるため、ダンパー本体63の外周部分に設けたシール部76がケース部材10の内壁面に接触するシールポイントSPは、図8に例示した従来のエアアウトレットAV1と比較すると、所要量Wだけ前方側へオフセットした位置となる。従って、ケース部材10の全長Lは、図3に2点鎖線で図示した従来のエアアウトレットAV1のケース部材10の全長L1と比較して、前述した所要量Wに相当する分だけ短くすることが可能となる。   Thus, when the damper member 62 is displaced to the first position, the rear side of the damper member 62 moves while sliding forward as shown in FIG. The seal point SP at which the seal portion 76 provided in the portion contacts the inner wall surface of the case member 10 is at a position offset forward by a required amount W as compared with the conventional air outlet AV1 illustrated in FIG. Therefore, the total length L of the case member 10 can be shortened by an amount corresponding to the above-described required amount W as compared with the total length L1 of the case member 10 of the conventional air outlet AV1 illustrated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. It becomes possible.

また、ケース部材10の全長が小さくなり、エアアウトレットAVの外形サイズが小型コンパクト化したことに伴い、車両内装部材IPの内壁面とダクトDとの間隔Hが同一であっても、該エアアウトレットAVへ至るダクトDの下流端部分D2のダクト曲がりRを大きく設定することができ、該下流端部分D2を緩やかな湾曲形状を呈するようにすることが可能となる。すなわち、図8に例示した従来のエアアウトレットAV1は、図3に2点鎖線で例示したように、ケース部材10の全長がL1と大きいため、該エアアウトレットAV1へ至るダクトDが下流端部分D2が急激に折曲した形状に設定せざるを得なかったのに対し、本実施例のエアアウトレットAVを採用した場合には、ケース部材10の全長がLであるから、ダクトDの下流端部分D2を緩やかな湾曲形状とし、その内側の曲がりRも大きくすることが可能となるのである。   Even if the distance H between the inner wall surface of the vehicle interior member IP and the duct D is the same as the overall length of the case member 10 is reduced and the outer size of the air outlet AV is reduced, the air outlet AV is reduced. The duct bend R of the downstream end portion D2 of the duct D leading to the AV can be set large, and the downstream end portion D2 can have a gentle curved shape. That is, in the conventional air outlet AV1 illustrated in FIG. 8, as illustrated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, the entire length of the case member 10 is as large as L1, and therefore the duct D reaching the air outlet AV1 is connected to the downstream end portion D2. However, when the air outlet AV of this embodiment is adopted, the entire length of the case member 10 is L, so that the downstream end portion of the duct D It is possible to make D2 be a gently curved shape and to increase the inner bend R.

従って、ダクトDの下流端部分D2における内部での空気の流通がスムーズとなり、この部分における空気の流通に乱れが発生し難くなるから、流通抵抗の増加および流通速度の低下等による流通効率の悪化を好適に回避できるようになる。   Accordingly, the flow of air inside the downstream end portion D2 of the duct D is smooth, and it is difficult for the air flow in this portion to be disturbed. Therefore, the flow efficiency is deteriorated due to an increase in flow resistance and a decrease in flow speed. Can be suitably avoided.

更に、本実施例のエアアウトレットAVでは、ケース部材10の全長がLに短縮されていることにより、ダンパー部材62が第2位置へ姿勢変位した際には、図1および図5に図示したように、第1支持部66,66より後側となるダンパー本体63の後側部分63Aが、後方へ移動しながら空気導入口12からダクトD内へ所要量だけ延出するようになる。従って、ダンパー本体63の後側部分63Aを、ダクトDの下流端部分D2の湾曲形状に合わせて湾曲した形状、すなわちダクトD内(下流端部分D2)の空気流通路に沿った形状としてあり、これにより整流板として機能するよう考慮されている。すなわち本実施例のダンパー機構60では、第2位置へ姿勢変位したダンパー部材62に関し、ダクトDの空気流出口D1およびエアアウトレットAVの空気導入口12に位置するようになることを利用して、ダクトDからケース部材10内へ流入する空気の流通を更に整流化する整流機能を併有させてある。   Further, in the air outlet AV of the present embodiment, since the entire length of the case member 10 is shortened to L, when the damper member 62 is displaced to the second position, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5. In addition, the rear portion 63A of the damper main body 63 on the rear side of the first support portions 66, 66 extends rearward from the air inlet 12 into the duct D while moving backward. Accordingly, the rear portion 63A of the damper main body 63 has a shape that is curved in accordance with the curved shape of the downstream end portion D2 of the duct D, that is, a shape that follows the air flow path in the duct D (downstream end portion D2). This is considered to function as a current plate. That is, in the damper mechanism 60 of the present embodiment, the damper member 62 whose posture is displaced to the second position is used to be positioned at the air outlet D1 of the duct D and the air inlet 12 of the air outlet AV. A rectifying function for further rectifying the flow of air flowing into the case member 10 from the duct D is also provided.

従って、前述した本実施例に係るエアアウトレットによれば、次のような作用効果を奏する。すなわち、ケース部材10内に配設したダンパー部材62が、スライドしながら移動することで空気流通空間15を開閉するよう姿勢変位するため、該ケース部材10の全長Lを短くすることが可能となり、エアアウトレットAVの外形サイズの小型化および軽量化を図り得る利点がある。そしてダンパー部材62は、第1支持部66,66および第2支持部68,68の2つの支持部が所定の方向へ移動するので、空気流通空間15内において空気流通方向へ移動しながら適切に姿勢変位するようになる。しかもダンパー部材62は、第1支持部66および第2支持部68が、ケース部材10に設けたガイド溝46の第1ガイド部48および第2ガイド部50に沿って移動するため、ケース部材10に安定的に支持された状態で姿勢変位する。   Therefore, according to the air outlet according to the above-described embodiment, the following operational effects can be obtained. That is, since the damper member 62 disposed in the case member 10 is displaced while sliding so as to open and close the air circulation space 15, the overall length L of the case member 10 can be shortened. There is an advantage that the outer size of the air outlet AV can be reduced and the weight can be reduced. Since the two support portions of the first support portions 66 and 66 and the second support portions 68 and 68 move in a predetermined direction, the damper member 62 appropriately moves while moving in the air flow direction in the air flow space 15. The posture is displaced. In addition, the damper member 62 has the first support portion 66 and the second support portion 68 that move along the first guide portion 48 and the second guide portion 50 of the guide groove 46 provided in the case member 10. The posture is displaced while it is stably supported by the robot.

また、エアアウトレットAVの小型コンパクト化に伴い、該エアアウトレットAVに連結されるダクトDの下流端部分D2のダクト曲がりRを大きく設定することができるから、該下流端部分D2を緩やかな湾曲形状とすることが可能となる。従って、ダクトDからエアアウトレットAV内へ流入する空気の流通をスムーズにすることができるから、流通抵抗の増加や流通速度の低下等が回避されて流通効率の向上を図り得る。   Further, as the air outlet AV is made smaller and more compact, the duct bend R of the downstream end portion D2 of the duct D connected to the air outlet AV can be set large, so that the downstream end portion D2 has a gently curved shape. It becomes possible. Accordingly, since the air flowing into the air outlet AV from the duct D can be smoothly distributed, an increase in the distribution resistance, a decrease in the distribution speed, and the like can be avoided, and the distribution efficiency can be improved.

更に、エアアウトレットAVの小型コンパクト化に伴い、第2位置へ移動したダンパー部材62がダクトD内へ延出するようになるから、該ダンパー部材62に整流機能を併有することが可能となる。しかも、ダクトD内へ延出するダンパー本体63の後側部分63Aを、ダクトD(下流端部分D2)の空気流通路に沿った形状とすれば、該ダクトDからエアアウトレットAV内へ流入する空気の流通を更にスムーズにできるから、より一層の流通効率の向上が期待できる。   Further, as the air outlet AV becomes smaller and more compact, the damper member 62 that has moved to the second position extends into the duct D. Therefore, the damper member 62 can have a rectifying function. Moreover, if the rear portion 63A of the damper main body 63 extending into the duct D is shaped along the air flow path of the duct D (downstream end portion D2), it flows into the air outlet AV from the duct D. Since the air can be more smoothly distributed, further improvement in the distribution efficiency can be expected.

なお、ダンパー部材62と操作部材64の連繋構造、操作部材64の形状等は、前述した実施例の形態に限定されるものではなく、様々な形態を応用して実施可能である。例えば、ケース部材10の左右側壁部の後部側にガイド溝46,46を形成すると共に、ダンパー本体63の左側縁および右側縁に第1支持部66,66および第2支持部68,68を突設し、これら第1支持部66,66および第2支持部68,68を対応のガイド溝46,46へ摺動可能に嵌合させた形態としても、ケース部材10の空気流通空間15内においてダンパー部材62を適切に姿勢変位させ得る。   In addition, the connection structure of the damper member 62 and the operation member 64, the shape of the operation member 64, etc. are not limited to the form of the Example mentioned above, It can implement by applying various forms. For example, the guide grooves 46 and 46 are formed on the rear side of the left and right side wall portions of the case member 10, and the first support portions 66 and 66 and the second support portions 68 and 68 protrude from the left and right edges of the damper main body 63. Even if the first support portions 66 and 66 and the second support portions 68 and 68 are slidably fitted into the corresponding guide grooves 46 and 46, the air flow space 15 of the case member 10 can be used. The posture of the damper member 62 can be appropriately displaced.

本発明に係るエアアウトレットは、ダクトに連結される空気導入口および空気吹出口を有した筒状のケース部材と、このケース部材内の空気流通空間に姿勢変位可能に配設されたダンパー部材とを備え、前記ダンパー部材の姿勢変位により前記空気流通空間を開閉するよう構成したエアアウトレットであって、種々車両内装部材に設置されるエアアウトレットに好適に実施可能である。   An air outlet according to the present invention includes a cylindrical case member having an air inlet and an air outlet connected to a duct, and a damper member disposed in an air circulation space in the case member so as to be capable of posture displacement. The air outlet is configured to open and close the air circulation space according to the displacement of the damper member, and can be suitably implemented in an air outlet installed in various vehicle interior members.
