Abstract
A vehicle air conditioner is disclosed having means to cool and heat air with three air paths, of which, two outer air paths have a common first temperature and an inner air path has a second temperature, wherein a means for controlling the air volume flow through the outer air paths and the inner air path is provided by two control elements which are configured jointly to be able to move in opposing directions.
Claims15
A vehicle air conditioner for heating and cooling air, the vehicle air conditioner comprising:
- a first outer air path with air flowing at a first temperature;
- a second outer air path with air flowing at the first temperature;
- a first inner air path with air flowing at a second temperature;
- a first control element controlling the air flowing in the first outer air path, the second outer air path, and the first inner air path;
- and
- a second control element controlling the air flowing in the first outer air path, the second outer air path, and the first inner air path, wherein the first control element and the second control element are configured jointly to be able to move in opposing directions, wherein the first control element and the second control element are slider elements placed in differing planes to each other and are configured to be movable, one behind the other, in a direction of the air flow, and the slider elements include curved toothed bars, wherein the slider elements and the curved toothed bars are configured curved with opposite orientation.
A vehicle air conditioner for heating and cooling air, the vehicle air conditioner comprising:
- a first outer air path with air flowing at a first temperature;
- a second outer air path with air flowing at the first temperature;
- a first inner air path with air flowing at a second temperature;
- a first slider element controlling the air flowing in the first outer air path, the second outer air path, and the first inner air path;
- and
- a second slider element controlling the air flowing in the first outer air path, the second outer air path, and the first inner air path, wherein the first slider element and the second slider element are configured jointly to be able to move in opposing directions, and each of the slider elements have a toothed bar and are configured to be drivable through a driving toothed wheel corresponding therewith, wherein the driving toothed wheel is configured as a coaxial dual toothed wheel with differing numbers of teeth, and that to each of the toothed bars of the slider elements, a driving toothed wheel of the dual toothed wheel is assigned.
