Description

  The present disclosure relates to a vehicle air conditioning unit configured to be able to set inside / outside air two-layer mode in which inside air and outside air are divided and flowed.

  Conventionally, in a vehicle air conditioning unit, there is known a configuration in which a pipe connected to a heat exchanger penetrates through an air duct portion disposed between a blower fan and an air distribution housing (for example, Patent Document 1) reference).

Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2014-19439

  The inventors of the present invention have been developing a vehicle air conditioning unit capable of setting inside and outside air two-layer mode in which inside air and outside air are divided and flowed. This type of vehicle air conditioning unit is advantageous in that it is possible to suppress the ventilation loss by the introduction of inside air and suppress the window fogging of the windshield etc. by the introduction of outside air by setting the inside / outside air double layer mode. And in order to make air-conditioning performance and anti-fogging performance compatible at the time of inside-and-outdoor double layer mode, it is necessary to set the amount of wind volume of an open air passage and an inside air passage to a desired ratio.

  However, in a vehicle air conditioning unit capable of setting the inside / outside air two-layer mode, when the heat exchanger pipe is penetrated through one of the outside air passage and the inside air passage, the air flow resistance of one passage is Increase. That is, in the configuration in which each tube of the heat exchanger passes through one of the outside air passage and the inside air passage, the increase in ventilation resistance accompanying the passage of the heat exchanger tube is biased to one of the outside air passage and the inside air passage. It will occur. This causes the air volume ratio of the outside air passage and the inside air passage to largely deviate from the desired ratio, which is not preferable in achieving both the air conditioning performance and the antifogging performance.

  In view of the above-described point, the present disclosure provides a vehicle air conditioning unit capable of suppressing a change in air volume ratio of an outside air passage and an inside air passage caused by causing a heat exchanger pipe to penetrate an air conditioning case.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is
A vehicle air conditioning unit configured to be capable of setting inside and outside air two-layer mode in which inside air and outside air are divided and flowed,
An internal air inlet (124, 125) communicating with the vehicle compartment and an external air inlet (123) communicating with the vehicle exterior are formed, and the air introduced from at least one of the internal air inlet and the external air inlet is directed into the vehicle compartment Air conditioning case (12),
A heat exchanger (16, 18) installed inside the air conditioning case for heat exchange between the heat medium and the air flowing inside the air conditioning case to adjust the temperature of the air flowing inside the air conditioning case;
A heat medium supply pipe (19, 54) for supplying a heat medium to the heat exchanger;
And a heat medium discharge pipe (20, 55) for discharging the heat medium from the heat exchanger.

  Inside the air conditioning case, an outside air passage for flowing outside air introduced from the outside air introduction port in the inside / outside air double layer mode, and an inside air passage for flowing inside air introduced from the inside air introduction port in the inside / outside air double layer mode The partition part (13) for section-forming is set. Further, through holes (130) for penetrating the heat medium supply pipe and the heat medium discharge pipe are formed in the partition wall portion.

  As described above, when the heat medium supply pipe and the heat medium discharge pipe are made to penetrate through the through holes provided in the partition wall, the ventilation resistance biased to one of the outside air passage and the inside air passage by each tube of the heat exchanger. Less likely to occur. That is, if the above configuration is adopted, the increase in the ventilation resistance accompanying the penetration of the heat exchanger tubes is enhanced as compared with the configuration in which the heat exchanger tubes are penetrated in one of the outside air passage and the inside air passage. It is possible to suppress one of the outside air passage and the inside air passage from being biased. Therefore, according to the vehicle air conditioning unit of the present disclosure, it is possible to suppress a change in the air volume ratio of the outside air passage and the inside air passage caused by causing the heat exchanger pipe to penetrate the air conditioning case.

  In addition, the code | symbol in the parenthesis of each means described by this column and the claim shows an example of the correspondence with the specific means as described in embodiment mentioned later.

  The cooling heat exchanger 16 is a heat exchanger that cools the air flowing through the inside of the air conditioning case 12 by performing heat exchange between the refrigerant, which is a heat medium, and the air flowing through the inside of the temperature control case 12B of the air conditioning case 12 . As shown in FIG. 2, the cooling heat exchanger 16 is disposed so as to straddle the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer passage 122 so as to be able to cool both the air flowing through the upper layer passage 121 and the air flowing through the lower layer passage 122. There is.

  The heat exchanger 16 for cooling of this embodiment comprises the refrigerating cycle device 50 of a vapor | steam compression type with the compressor 51, the radiator 52, and the pressure-reduction device 53, as shown in FIG. The cooling heat exchanger 16 is an evaporator that causes the refrigerant to evaporate by heat exchange between the refrigerant decompressed by the decompressor 53 and the air flowing through the inside of the temperature control case portion 12B. The air flowing through the temperature control case portion 12B is cooled by an endothermic effect at the time of evaporation of the refrigerant when passing through the cooling heat exchanger 16.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the compressor 51 and the radiator 52 are accommodated in the device accommodation room MR. The compressor 51 is a device that is driven by an engine EG that generates a driving force for traveling and that compresses a refrigerant.

The refrigerant suction side of the compressor 51 and the cooling heat exchanger 16 are connected by a low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 through which the low temperature and low pressure refrigerant flowing out of the cooling heat exchanger 16 flows.

  As a result, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 51 flows through the radiator 52 → the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 → the pressure reducer 53 → the cooling heat exchanger 16 → the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 in this order. Inhaled by

  In the present embodiment, the refrigerant is supplied to the cooling heat exchanger 16 via the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54, and the refrigerant is discharged from the cooling heat exchanger 16 via the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 constitutes a heat medium supply pipe for supplying the refrigerant as the heat medium to the heat exchanger 16 for cooling, and the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 is a heat exchanger for cooling A heat medium discharge pipe for discharging the refrigerant which is a heat medium from 16 is constituted. Further, in the present embodiment, the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 constitutes a high temperature pipe, and the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 constitutes a low temperature pipe.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 50 according to the present embodiment, the compressor 51 and the radiator 52 are disposed in the device storage room MR, while the pressure reducer 53 and the cooling heat exchanger 16 are in the vehicle compartment. It is arranged. Therefore, the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 and the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 are drawn into the vehicle compartment from the device accommodation room MR via the second pipe lead-in hole H2 provided in the dash panel DP.

  In the temperature control case portion 12B, a heating heat exchanger 18 for heating the air that has passed through the cooling heat exchanger 16 is disposed downstream of the cooling heat exchanger 16 with respect to the air flow. The heat exchanger 18 for heating of the present embodiment exchanges heat between the cooling water for cooling the engine EG, which is a heat medium, and the air flowing inside the temperature control case portion 12B of the air conditioning case 12 to thereby heat the inside of the air conditioning case 12. It is a heat exchanger that heats the flowing air. Although not shown, the heating heat exchanger 18 is disposed so as to straddle the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer passage 122 so as to be able to heat both the air flowing through the upper layer passage 121 and the air flowing through the lower layer passage 122.

  In the heating heat exchanger 18, high temperature water piping 19 through which high temperature cooling water heated by the engine EG flows, and low temperature cooling water having passed through the heating heat exchanger 18 are returned to the engine EG side. Low temperature water piping 20 is connected. The high temperature water piping 19 and the low temperature water piping 20 are drawn into the vehicle compartment from the device storage room MR via a first piping lead-in hole H1 provided in the dash panel DP.

  Although not shown, a bypass passage is formed in the temperature control case portion 12B for bypassing the heating heat exchanger 18 and allowing air to flow, and the air flow of the air passing through the heating heat exchanger 18 and the bypass passage An air mix door is arranged to adjust the ratio of the air volume to the volume of air.

  Furthermore, a wind distribution unit portion is connected to the temperature control case portion 12B on the air flow downstream side of the heating heat exchanger 18 and the bypass passage.

Further, the air distribution unit portion is provided with a mode switching mechanism for changing the blowing mode of the air into the vehicle compartment.

  Here, in the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment, the connection portion between the blower unit portion 10A and the temperature control unit portion 10B overlaps the second pipe lead-in hole H2 in the longitudinal direction DRfr of the vehicle.

  In such a structure, the high-pressure refrigerant pipe 54 and the low-pressure refrigerant pipe 55 may be bent in accordance with the outer shape of the air-conditioning case 12 in order to avoid interference between the high-pressure refrigerant pipe 54 and the low-pressure refrigerant pipe 55 and the air conditioning case 12 .

  However, when the high pressure refrigerant piping 54 and the low pressure refrigerant piping 55 are bent in accordance with the outer shape of the air conditioning case 12, the pressure loss in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 50 may increase or the physical size of the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 may increase. .

  Therefore, the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment has a structure in which the high pressure refrigerant piping 54 and the low pressure refrigerant piping 55 connected to the cooling heat exchanger 16 with respect to the air conditioning case 12 penetrate.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment is a single unit for causing the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 and the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 to penetrate through the partition wall 13 set inside the air conditioning case 12. Through holes 130 are formed. The through holes 130 extend in a direction (in this example, the front-rear direction DRfr) substantially perpendicular to the air flow flowing through the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer passage 122.

  Specifically, the partition wall portion 13 includes a first bulging wall portion 131 bulging toward the upper layer passage 121 and a bulging portion toward the lower layer passage 122 at a portion between the blower 14 and the cooling heat exchanger 16. A second bulging wall 132 is provided. Then, a through hole 130 for penetrating the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 and the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 is formed by the gap between the first expanded wall portion 131 and the second expanded wall portion 132. The through hole 130 has a dimension in the vertical direction DRud so that the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 and the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 can be arranged side by side along the alignment direction of the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer passage 122.

  The first bulging wall portion 131 and the second bulging wall portion 132 of the present embodiment have a vertically symmetrical shape so as to project substantially equally to both the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer passage 122. There is. Specifically, the first bulging wall portion 131 and the second bulging wall portion 132 of the present embodiment each have a shape bent in an L shape so that a rhombic through hole 130 is formed. ing.

  The high-pressure refrigerant pipe 54 and the low-pressure refrigerant pipe 55 are inserted in a bundled state with respect to a single through hole 130 formed for the partition 13. The high pressure refrigerant piping 54 and the low pressure refrigerant piping 55 of the present embodiment are arranged in the through hole 130 so as to be aligned in the alignment direction of the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer passage 122 (that is, the up and down direction DRud). In other words, the high pressure refrigerant piping 54 and the low pressure refrigerant piping 55 of the present embodiment are inserted through the through hole 130 in a state of being bundled so as to overlap each other in the vertical direction DRud.

  Specifically, the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 of the present embodiment is disposed closer to the upper layer passage 121 than the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 in the through hole 130. In other words, the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 is disposed above the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 in the through hole 130 so as to be closer to the first expanded wall 131 than the second expanded wall 132. .

  On the other hand, the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 of the present embodiment is disposed closer to the lower layer passage 122 than the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 in the through hole 130. In other words, the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 is disposed below the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 in the through hole 130 so as to be closer to the second expanded wall 132 than the first expanded wall 131. .

  Next, the operation of the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment will be described. In the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment, the air suction mode is set to an outside air mode for introducing only outside air, an inside air mode for introducing only inside air, and an inside / outside air double layer mode for separately introducing inside air and outside air. It is configured to be possible. The control process of various devices including the switching control of the suction mode is executed by a control device (not shown). The controller comprises a known microcomputer including a processor and a memory and its peripheral circuits.

  First, in the outside air mode, as shown in FIG. 4, the control device sets the first inside / outside air switching door 128 at a position where the outside air introduction port 124 is opened and the first inside air introduction port 125 is closed. Further, in the outside air mode, the control device sets the second inside / outside air switching door 129 at a position where the communication passage 127 is opened and the second inside air introduction port 126 is closed.

  In this state, when the blower 14 is driven by the control device, the outside air introduced from the outside air introduction port 124 is introduced into the upper layer passage 121. At this time, since the communication passage 127 is opened, a part of the outside air introduced from the outside air introduction port 124 is also introduced into the lower layer passage 122.

  The air introduced into the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer passage 122 flows into the cooling heat exchanger 16 via the fans 141 and 142 of the blower 14 and is cooled to a predetermined temperature. The air having passed through the cooling heat exchanger 16 is adjusted to a desired temperature by being mixed after passing through at least one of the heating heat exchanger 18 and the bypass passage. The temperature-controlled air is blown out as a conditioned air to a desired location in the vehicle compartment via the air distribution unit. In the outside air mode, it is possible to ventilate the interior of the vehicle by introducing fresh air outside the vehicle or to suppress window fogging by introducing dry air outside the vehicle.

  Subsequently, in the inside air mode, as shown in FIG. 5, the control device sets the first inside / outside air switching door 128 to a position where the first inside air introduction port 125 is opened and the outside air introduction port 124 is closed. . Further, in the inside air mode, the second inside / outside air switching door 129 is set to a position where the second inside air introduction port 126 is opened and the communication passage 127 is closed by the control device.

  In this state, when the blower 14 is driven by the control device, the inside air introduced from the first inside air introduction port 125 is introduced into the upper layer passage 121 and the inside air introduced from the second inside air introduction port 126 is the lower layer passage. It is introduced at 122.

  The air introduced into the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer passage 122 flows into the cooling heat exchanger 16 via the fans 141 and 142 of the blower 14 and is cooled to a predetermined temperature. The air having passed through the cooling heat exchanger 16 is adjusted to a desired temperature by being mixed after passing through at least one of the heating heat exchanger 18 and the bypass passage. The temperature-controlled air is blown out as a conditioned air to a desired location in the vehicle compartment via the air distribution unit. In the inside air mode, the air conditioning efficiency can be improved by circulating the air in the vehicle compartment.

  Subsequently, at the position where the first inside / outside air switching door 128 opens the outside air introduction port 124 and the first inside air introduction port 125 is closed by the control device as shown in FIG. It is set. Further, in the inside / outside air double layer mode, the second inside / outside air switching door 129 is set to a position where the second inside air introduction port 126 is opened and the communication passage 127 is closed by the control device.

  In this state, when the blower 14 is driven by the control device, the outside air introduced from the outside air introduction port 124 is introduced into the upper layer passage 121 and the inside air introduced from the second inside air introduction port 126 is supplied to the lower layer passage 122 be introduced.

  The outside air introduced into the upper layer passage 121 and the inside air introduced into the lower layer passage 122 are blown toward the cooling heat exchanger 16 by the fans 141 and 142 of the blower 14. Under the present circumstances, the external air which flows along the partition part 13 in the upper layer channel | path 121 becomes a flow of diagonally upward with the 1st bulging wall part 131 which comprises the through-hole 130. As shown in FIG. On the other hand, the inside air flowing along the partition wall 13 in the lower layer passage 122 has a diagonally downward flow by the second bulging wall portion 132 constituting the through hole 130.

  Thus, the flow of air along the partition wall 13 is suppressed in the vicinity of the cooling heat exchanger 16 in the partition wall 13. Therefore, the outside air and the inside air through the gap G between the cooling heat exchanger 16 and the partition wall 13 You can suppress the mixing with. That is, the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment has a structure capable of sufficiently securing the inside / outside air separability.

  Outside air flowing in the upper layer passage 121 flows into the cooling heat exchanger 16 and is cooled to a predetermined temperature, passes through at least one of the heating heat exchanger 18 and the bypass passage, and then passes through the defroster blowout portion of the wind distribution unit. It blows out near the windshield of the vehicle interior. Thereby, the window fogging of the windshield is suppressed.

  On the other hand, the inside air flowing through the lower layer passage 122 flows into the cooling heat exchanger 16, is cooled to a predetermined temperature, and passes through at least one of the heating heat exchanger 18 and the bypass passage, It is blown out toward the passenger in the vehicle compartment via Thus, a comfortable air-conditioning feeling can be provided to the occupant.

  The vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment described above is configured to be able to set the inside / outside air two-layer mode. For this reason, the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment can suppress window fogging while suppressing the ventilation loss.

  Here, FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing a vehicle air conditioning unit CE which is a comparative example of the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment. In the vehicle air conditioning unit CE shown in FIG. 6, a through hole TH for allowing the high pressure refrigerant piping 54 and the low pressure refrigerant piping 55 to pass through is formed in a portion of the air conditioning case 12 forming the upper layer passage 121 in this embodiment. This is different from the vehicle air conditioning unit CE of In FIG. 6, the same components as the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment in the vehicle air conditioning unit CE of the comparative example are given the same reference numerals as the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment. .

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the air conditioning unit CE of the comparative example, a through hole TH for allowing the high pressure refrigerant piping 54 and the low pressure refrigerant piping 55 to penetrate is provided in a portion of the air conditioning case 12 forming the upper layer passage 121. There is. The high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 and the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 are disposed to penetrate the upper layer passage 121. The other configuration of the vehicle air conditioning unit CE of the comparative example is configured in the same manner as the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment.

  Subsequently, the flow of air in the internal / external air double layer mode in the vehicle air conditioning unit CE of the comparative example will be described. In the inside / outside air double layer mode, the control device sets the first inside / outside air switching door 128 to a position where the outside air introduction port 124 is opened, and the second inside / outside air switching door 129 opens the second inside air introduction port 126 Set to position.

  In this state, when the blower 14 is driven by the control device, the outside air introduced from the outside air introduction port 124 is introduced into the upper layer passage 121 and the inside air introduced from the second inside air introduction port 126 is supplied to the lower layer passage 122 be introduced.

  The outside air introduced into the upper layer passage 121 and the inside air introduced into the lower layer passage 122 are blown toward the cooling heat exchanger 16 by the fans 141 and 142 of the blower 14. Under the present circumstances, since piping etc. are not arrange | positioned, the internal air which flows through the lower layer channel | path 122 flows into the heat exchanger 16 for cooling as it is, without being divided by bifurcating. On the other hand, the outside air flowing through the upper layer passage 121 collides with the refrigerant pipes 54 and 55 and is divided into upper and lower parts, and then flows into the cooling heat exchanger 16. That is, in the upper layer passage 121, the ventilation resistance increases due to the change in the passage shape and the branching loss caused by the penetration of the refrigerant pipes 54 and 55.

  As described above, in the vehicle air conditioning unit CE of the comparative example, an increase in ventilation resistance is biased to the upper layer passage 121 among the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer passage 122. For this reason, in the vehicle air conditioning unit CE of the comparative example, it becomes difficult to set the air volume ratio of the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer passage 122 to a ratio suitable for coexistence of the air conditioning performance and the antifogging performance. This similarly occurs in the configuration in which the refrigerant pipes 54 and 55 are disposed with respect to the portion of the air conditioning case 12 which forms the lower layer passage 122.

  On the other hand, in the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment, the through holes 130 through which the high pressure refrigerant piping 54 and the low pressure refrigerant piping 55 are penetrated are formed in the partition portion 13. For this reason, in the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment, one of the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer passage 122 does not branch up and down by the angular refrigerant pipes 54 and 55 or the like.

  For this reason, according to the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment, an increase in ventilation resistance caused by penetrating the refrigerant pipes 54, 55 is higher than the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer, as compared with the vehicle air conditioning unit CE of the comparative example. It is possible to prevent the one of the passages 122 from being biased. Therefore, according to the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment, the air volume ratio of the upper layer passage 121 and the lower layer passage 122 caused by causing the air conditioning case 12 to penetrate the refrigerant pipes 54 and 55 in the internal / external air double layer mode Change can be suppressed.

  In the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 of the present embodiment, the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 is disposed closer to the upper layer passage 121 than the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 in the through hole 130, and the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 is a low pressure refrigerant pipe in the through hole 130. It is disposed closer to the lower layer passage 122 than 55.

  As described above, when the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 having a temperature lower than that of the high pressure refrigerant pipe 54 is disposed on the upper layer passage 121 side, the inside air flowing through the lower layer passage 122 and the low pressure refrigerant pipe 55 are Heat loss due to heat exchange is suppressed. As a result, it is possible to improve the heating efficiency of the vehicle air conditioning unit 1 by introducing the inside air.
