Abstract
A seat air conditioner for a vehicle seat includes a blower unit which has a blower fan and an air discharge duct, a vibration isolation unit arranged between the blower unit and a cushion member of the seat, and an accordion duct which is arranged between the air discharge duct and an air passage defined in the cushion member. The blower unit is disposed at an opposite side to the cushion member with respect to seat spring members of the seat. Air blown by the blower fan flows toward a plurality of blowing-out openings formed at a surface cover member of the seat, through the air discharge duct, the accordion duct and the air passage formed in the cushion member.
Claims15
A seat air conditioner for a vehicle seat, which has a cushion member disposed at a backside of a surface cover member and resiliently supported by a plurality of seat spring members at a backside of the cushion member, the seat air conditioner comprising:
- a blower unit including a blower fan and an air discharge duct, through which air blown by the blower fan flows, the blower unit being disposed at an opposite side to the cushion member with respect to the seat spring members of the vehicle seat;
- a vibration isolation unit which is arranged between the blower unit and the cushion member;
- and
- an accordion duct which is arranged at a joint between the air discharge duct and an air passage defined in the cushion member, the accordion duct being made of a rubber, wherein
- air in the air discharge duct flows through the accordion duct and the air passage toward a plurality of blowing-out openings formed at the surface cover member of the vehicle seat.
A seat air conditioner for a vehicle seat, which has a cushion member disposed at a backside of a surface cover member and resiliently supported by a plurality of seat spring members at a backside of the cushion member, the seat air conditioner comprising:
- a blower unit which includes a blower fan for blowing air, a blower casing for rotatably accommodating the blower fan, a first bracket joined to the blower casing, and a second bracket arranged between the first bracket and the seat spring members of the vehicle seat,
- the blower unit being disposed at an opposite side to the cushion member with respect to the seat spring members;
- a plurality of vibration-isolating coupler apparatuses, each of which has a vibration-isolating rubber member arranged between the first bracket and the second bracket;
- and
- a plurality of vibration-isolating resilient members, each of which is arranged between the second bracket and the seat spring member, wherein:
- the blower fan blows air through an air passage defined in the cushion member toward a plurality of blowing-out openings formed at the surface cover member of the vehicle seat;
- and
- the vibration-isolating resilient member is made of a resilient material having a smaller friction coefficient than a rubber.
