Description
本発明は、車両用空調装置に関し、特に、車両に搭載される車両用空調装置に関する。
The present invention relates to a vehicle air conditioner, and more particularly, to a vehicle air conditioner mounted on a vehicle.
特許文献1(特開2006-109609号公報)には、車両用エアコンシステムが記載されている。この車両用エアコンシステムにおいては、複数のアクチュエータがエアコンユニット本体に取付けられており、各アクチュエータは共通の制御線上に接続されている。これらのアクチュエータをエアコンユニット本体に取付ける際に、アクチュエータは、その取付箇所に対応するアドレスを、エアコンユニット本体に取付けられたRFIDチップから取得する。よって、これにより、エアコンユニット本体に取付けられる複数のアクチュエータのアドレスが誤って設定されるのを防止すると共に、取り付け作業の煩雑化を防止している。
Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-109609) describes a vehicle air conditioner system. In this vehicle air conditioner system, a plurality of actuators are mounted on the air conditioner unit main body, and each actuator is connected on a common control line. When these actuators are mounted on the air conditioner unit main body, the actuators obtain addresses corresponding to the mounting locations from the RFID chip mounted on the air conditioner unit main body. Therefore, this prevents the addresses of the plurality of actuators attached to the air conditioner unit main body from being set erroneously, and also prevents the installation work from becoming complicated.
しかしながら、特許文献1に示すような従来の車両用エアコンシステムでは、エアコンECUと各アクチュエータの間は夫々共通の制御線によって接続されている。よって、エアコンECUと各アクチュエータとの間に多数のワイヤーハーネスを配置する必要がある。このようなワイヤーハーネスは、車両全体、車両用空調装置全体において相当多数使用されることになる。このため、ワイヤーハーネスの配線が複雑化する、ワイヤーハーネスの重量が増加する、ワイヤーハーネスの取付の作業工数が増大するという問題がある。
However, in the conventional vehicle air conditioner system as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the air conditioner ECU and each actuator are connected by a common control line. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange a number of wire harnesses between the air conditioner ECU and each actuator.

Therefore, there are problems that wiring of the wire harness is complicated, weight of the wire harness increases, and man-hours for mounting the wire harness increase.
そこで、本発明は、制御部と各アクチュエータを接続するワイヤの数を削減して配線を簡略化できると共に、車両に搭載されるワイヤーハーネスの重量を軽量化することができ、さらに、ワイヤーハーネスの取付時における、ワイヤの取り回しを容易にし、作業性を向上させることができる車両用空調装置を提供することを目的としている。
Therefore, the present invention can simplify the wiring by reducing the number of wires connecting the control unit and each actuator, reduce the weight of the wire harness mounted on the vehicle, and further reduce the weight of the wire harness.
