Air distribution device for turret

A device for distribution of conditioning air for a vehicle turret rotatably mounted with respect to a vehicle body, the device comprising:

• a first sheath and a second sheath, each of the first sheath and the second sheath including a chute adapted to be made integral with the vehicle and a shutter adapted to be made integral with the turret, the first sheath and the second sheath each including an airflow port, the first sheath and the second sheath each being in the shape of an arc of a circle that is coaxial with a rotation axis of the turret and has two ends, and
• a first duct and a second duct, each of the first duct and the second duct being in the shape of an arc of a circle having a same average radius as that of the first sheath and the second sheath, the first duct and the second duct being configured to slide relative to the first sheath and the second sheath, respectively, between a closed position, in which the first duct connects a first end of the first sheath to a second end of the second sheath and a second end of the first sheath to a first end of the second sheath for a continuity of airflow between the first sheath and the second sheath, and an open position, in which the first duct and the second duct are slid within the first sheath and the second sheath, respectively, so as to clear a first passage between the first end of the first sheath and the second end of the second sheath and a second passage between the second end of the first sheath to the first end of the second sheath transverse to the first sheath and the second sheath along a circular sector.
