Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-100642
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the case where the heat exchanger is straddled between the two case members, the heat exchanger holding positions of the two case members are different due to a variation in dimension between the case members and an assembly error when the two case members are combined. May shift. Although the space between the case member and the heat exchanger is sealed by a seal material such as urethane, due to the shift of the holding position, a portion where the seal material is strongly compressed and a portion where the compression is weakly occur, and a case is generated. There is a concern that the member may be deformed or a seal failure may occur. In addition, the mating surface of the two case members has a large opening, and the rigidity of the case members themselves tends to be low, so that the holding strength of the heat exchanger also tends to be low.
[0005]
Further, even in the integrated unit, the heat exchanger is housed in one case member, and then the other case member is connected to the case member to connect the heat exchanger to the case member. The case member is pressed and held, and there is a problem of deformation of the case member and defective sealing due to the dimensional error and the assembly error.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of deformation of the case member and poor sealing in housing and holding the heat exchanger.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention can accommodate and hold a heat exchanger by one case member.
[0008]
That is, the invention according to claim 1 is for a vehicle in which a heat exchanger for heating or cooling air introduced into the air-conditioning case is accommodated in an air-conditioning case forming a flow path toward a vehicle interior. In air conditioners,
The air conditioning case is formed by connecting a plurality of case members at connection edges of each other,
In the heat exchanger, the air inflow surface is formed in a substantially rectangular shape,
A housing portion for housing the heat exchanger is formed in one of the case members, and a holding portion for holding at least three sides around the heat exchanger over the entire length of the case member alone is formed in the housing portion. ,
At least one of the holding portions is formed so as to hold the heat exchanger from both the air inflow surface side and the air outflow surface side.
[0009]
Therefore, since at least three sides of the heat exchanger are held by one case member, the heat exchanger can be securely mounted without being affected by variations in dimensions between the case members and assembly errors between the case members. This is advantageous for holding. Further, it is advantageous in avoiding strong compression and weak compression of the seal member, and in solving the problems of deformation of the case member and poor sealing. In particular, at least one of the three sides of the heat exchanger is held from both the air inflow surface side and the outflow surface side, so that the case member surely holds the heat exchanger.
[0010]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the vehicle air conditioner according to the first aspect,
The case member having the housing portion includes an insertion port for inserting the heat exchanger into the housing portion,
The insertion port is formed along a connection edge of the case member with respect to another case member,
The heat exchanger is housed in the housing portion, is fitted in the insertion port, and is held by the case member at the insertion port from both the air inflow surface side and the outflow surface side. It is characterized by.
[0011]
Therefore, according to the present invention, the heat exchanger is securely attached to the case member by using the insertion port that can be used for assembling the heat exchanger to the air-conditioning case and removing it for inspection or the like. Can be held. In addition, the case member itself is weakened in strength by the formation of the insertion port. However, since the insertion port is formed along a connection edge to another case member, the case member is The connection edge with the other case member reinforces the connection edge, which is advantageous for securing the holding strength of the heat exchanger at the insertion port.
[0012]
The invention according to claim 3 is the vehicle air conditioner according to claim 2,
The case member includes opposing side walls, and a connecting side wall connecting one end of each of the side walls,
An upper edge of each of the side walls is formed at a connection edge with another case member disposed above the case member,
The insertion port is formed in one of the opposing side walls in a laterally long shape along the connection edge, and the housing section is configured such that the heat exchanger is arranged so that the air inflow surface and the air outflow surface are arranged horizontally. Formed to be accommodated in
A receiving portion that receives an edge of the heat exchanger is formed on the other side wall of the opposed side walls and the connection side wall,
The heat exchanger is held from both sides of the air inflow surface and the air outflow surface at a position where the other case member faces the connection side wall.
[0013]
Therefore, the rectangular heat exchanger is of a horizontal type (type in which the air inflow surface and the outflow surface are provided substantially horizontally), and an insertion port is provided in one of the opposing side walls of one case member, and the other side wall and the connection are provided. Since the heat exchanger receiving portion is provided on the side wall, three sides of the heat exchanger can be held in one case member, without being affected by dimensional variations and assembly errors between the case members, and stably. This is advantageous for holding. In addition, the holding stability of the heat exchanger is enhanced by the holding of the heat exchanger by another case member on the remaining side.
