Abstract
An air-conditioning device for vehicle has a case and an outlet unit. The outlet unit has a vent door. The vent door is capable of stopping at a face mode position where a center vent outlet and a side vent outlet are opened, a bi-level mode position where a center vent outlet and the side vent outlet are opened, and a heat mode position where the center vent outlet is closed and the side vent outlet is opened. The vent door is movable from the face mode position to the heat mode position via the bi-level mode position. The case has a fixed guide member. The fixed guide member controls an air flow in the case in the bi-level position by facing the vent door positioned in the bi-level mode position.

An air-conditioning device for vehicle, comprising:
- a case which provides a center vent outlet for supplying air to an upper center of a compartment to be air-conditioned, a side vent outlet for supplying air to a left and right side portions of the compartment, and a foot outlet for supplying air to a lower part of the compartment;
- a temperature adjusting unit including a cooling heat exchanger and a heating heat exchanger for adjusting a temperature of the air supplied from the case to the compartment;
- an outlet unit providing a plurality of modes by adjusting opening degrees of the center vent outlet, the side vent outlet, and the foot outlet;
- and
- a control device which controls the outlet unit, wherein
- the outlet unit includes a vent door which is capable of stopping at a face mode position where the center vent outlet and the side vent outlet are opened, a bi-level mode position where the center vent outlet and the side vent outlet are opened, and a heat mode position where the center vent outlet is closed and the side vent outlet is open, and is capable of moving over between the face mode position and the heat mode position through the bi-level mode position, and wherein
- the case has a fixed guide member which controls an air flow in the case in the bi-level mode position so as to suppress a difference between a temperature of air supplied from the center vent outlet and a temperature of air supplied from the side vent outlet by opposing to the vent door positioned at the bi-level mode position.
