A vehicle and its air-conditioning air distribution device for a vehicle turret rotatably mounted with respect to a body of the vehicle. This device includes at least one annular chute coaxial to the axis of rotation of the turret and including at least one first flow orifice, the chute having an annular opening which is concentric thereto, the chute receiving a closing ring which matches with the opening of the chute, the closing ring being rotatable with respect to the chute, and including at least one second air flow orifice, the chute being intended to be made integral with the body, respectively with the turret, while the closing ring is intended to be made integral with the turret, respectively with the body.
An air-conditioning air distribution device for a vehicle turret rotatably mounted with respect to a body of the vehicle, the vehicle turret having an axis of rotation, wherein the air-conditioning air distribution device comprises a first annular chute and a second annular chute that are coaxial with the axis of rotation of the vehicle turret, and each of the first and second annular chutes comprising a first flow orifice, the first and second annular chutes each having an annular opening, each of the first and second annular chutes and its annular opening being concentric, each of the first and second annular chutes comprising a closing ring which closes the annular opening of the respective annular chute, the closing ring being rotatable with respect to the first and second annular chutes and comprising a second air flow orifice that is concentrically rotatable with the axis of rotation, each of the first and second annular chutes being intended to be made integral with one of the body and the vehicle turret, while the closing ring is intended to be made integral with the other of the body and the vehicle turret.
A vehicle comprising a turret having a ventilating network and a body having a ventilating network, the ventilating network of the turret and the ventilating network of the body each comprising ducts for supplying air and separate ducts for returning air, the turret being pivotably mounted on an axis with respect to the body, wherein the vehicle comprises an air-conditioning air distribution device comprising a first annular and a second annular chute that are coaxial with the axis of rotation of the turret, and each of the first and second annular chutes having a first flow orifice, the first and second annular chutes each having an annular opening, each of the first and second annular chutes and its annular opening being concentric, each of the first and second annular chutes comprising a closing ring which closes the annular opening of the respective annular chute, the closing ring being rotatable with respect to the first and second annular chutes and comprising a second air flow orifice, each of the first and second annular chutes being made integral with one of the body and the turret, while the closing ring is made integral with the other of the body and the turret, one of the first and second annular chutes comprising a duct for supplying air from the body to the turret, and the other annular chute comprising a duct for returning air from the turret to the body.
