VEHICLE SEAT AIR-CONDITIONING DEVICE

摘要

A connection duct has (i) a duct body that is made of a material having great flexibility, the duct body in which the conditioned air flows and (ii) core members that are made of a material having higher rigidity than the duct body and are arranged, in the duct body, along a flow direction of air, the core members that maintain a cross-sectional shape of the duct body at a specified cross-sectional shape. The core members respectively have (i) an outer plate that is located on an outer peripheral side in the curved portion, (ii) an inner plate that is located on an inner peripheral side in the curved portion, and (iii) a connection plate that connects the outer plate with the inner plate. A length of the outer plate in the flow direction is longer than a length of the inner plate in the flow direction.

主权项

1. A vehicle seat air-conditioning device that blows a conditioned air from a seat, the conditioned air that is supplied from an interior air-conditioning unit that performs an air conditioning for an indoor space of a vehicle compartment, the vehicle seat air-conditioning device comprising:
a seat air-conditioning duct that has one end communicating with the interior air-conditioning unit and an other end arranged at a location adjacent to the seat, the seat air-conditioning duct that guides the conditioned air to the location adjacent to the seat; and a connection duct that has one end communicating with the seat air-conditioning duct and an other end communicating with the seat and guides the conditioned air to the seat, the connection duct that is bent at a middle part of the connection duct to form a curved portion of which location varies in conjunction with a displacement of the seat, wherein the connection duct has:
a duct body that is made of a material having great flexibility, the duct body in which the conditioned air flows; anda plurality of core members that are made of a material having higher rigidity than the duct body and are arranged, in the duct body, one after another in a flow direction of air, the plurality of core members that maintain a cross-sectional shape of the duct body at a specified cross-sectional shape, the plurality of core members respectively have:
an outer plate that is located on an outer peripheral side in the curved portion;an inner plate that is located on an inner peripheral side in the curved portion; anda connection plate that connects the outer plate with the inner plate, and a length of the outer plate in the flow direction is longer than a length of the inner plate in the flow direction.
