Abstract
An air conditioner housing having an evaporation device, a heating device, an air control device, an interior space in which air flow paths are formed, and having a housing which surrounds the interior space, is proposed. The air conditioner housing (1) is defined in that a first air flow path (15) and a second air flow path (17) are formed, and in that the air control device (9) has at least two mixing flaps (11, 13), a first mixing flap (11) of which is designed to the first air flow path (15), and a second mixing flap (13) of which is assigned to the second airflow path (17), and in that the mixing flaps (11, 13) each completely open the assigned air flow path (15, 17) in a first functional position and completely close it in a second functional position.
Claims16
An air conditioner housing, comprising:
- an evaporation device;
- a heating device;
- an interior space in which air flow paths are formed, wherein the air flow paths comprise a first air flow path and a second air flow path;
- a surrounding housing which surrounds the interior space;
- and
- an air control device having a first mixing flap assigned to the first air flow path, and a second mixing flap assigned to the second airflow path,
- wherein the first and second mixing flaps each completely open their respectively assigned air flow path in a first functional position and completely close their respectively assigned air flow path in a second functional position,
- wherein the first and second mixing flaps in their respective first functional positions close off the heating device in a planar fashion such that air is completely lead past sides of the heating device,
- wherein each of the first and second mixing flaps comprise a first component mixing flap, a second component mixing flap, and a connecting region which connects the first and second component mixing flaps to one another in a movable fashion, and
- wherein, for each of the first and second mixing flaps, a first flap seal is provided at least in a region of the second component mixing flap, the first flap seal being pressed in a planar fashion against an underside of the second component mixing flap at least in the first functional position, the first flap seal extending beyond the connecting region such that, in the first functional position, the first component mixing flap also bears in part against the first flap seal.
