In a defroster structure, a first guide member is provided further toward a vehicle front side than a front-rear partitioning wall and at a vehicle transverse direction outer side, at an interior of a blow-out port. A second guide member is provided further toward a vehicle rear side than the front-rear partitioning wall and at the vehicle transverse direction outer side, at the interior of the blow-out port. The first guide member and the second guide member respectively extend toward the vehicle transverse direction outer side from a vehicle lower side toward a vehicle upper side.

An air duct includes an inlet and an outlet that are interconnected with one another by a curved intermediate portion. A plurality of chambers are disposed within the curved intermediate portion. Each chamber of the plurality of chambers includes a first end opening into the inlet and a second end opening into the outlet. An enclosed body portion interconnects the first and second ends of each chamber. The curved intermediate portion further includes a first cross-sectional configuration disposed at a first portion of the curved intermediate portion, and a second cross-sectional configuration that is different from the first cross-sectional configuration disposed at a second portion of the curved intermediate portion. The second portion of the curved intermediate is disposed downstream from the first portion of the curved intermediate portion. The air duct directs airflow in a demisting sequence and is further contemplated to be formed using an additive manufacturing process.

This cooling structure 1 comprises: a first heat exchanger 11 which is provided on a vehicle; a second heat exchanger 12 which is provided on the vehicle so as to be located anterior to the first heat exchanger 11 in the front-back direction of the vehicle; and a third heat exchanger 13 which is provided on the vehicle so as to be located anterior to the second heat exchanger 12 in the front-back direction of the vehicle. The upper end of the first heat exchanger 11 is positioned above the upper end of the second heat exchanger 12 in the height direction of the vehicle; and the upper end of the third heat exchanger 13 is positioned between the upper end of the first heat exchanger 11 and the upper end of the second heat exchanger 12 in the height direction of the vehicle.

A heater duct can be coupled to an instrument panel of a vehicle, and comprises a base, a nozzle, and a neck. The base is sealingly coupled to the instrument panel and includes an inlet opening to receive air from a heater. The nozzle includes an outlet opening and is fluidly connected to the base. The nozzle deflects the air through the outlet opening and toward a predetermined region of a windshield. The neck extends between and is sealingly coupled to the base and nozzle. The base, nozzle, and neck cooperate to at least partially define an interior volume. The heater duct is positioned in an orthogonal coordinate system comprising an x-axis, a y-axis, and a z-axis. Air flowing from the inlet opening through the interior volume toward the outlet opening follows a path sequentially extending in substantially a negative z-direction, substantially a negative y-direction, and substantially a positive z-direction.

An air conditioning control system includes: an air conditioner configured to send a conditioned air that is lower in temperature than air inside a cabin; a detector configured to detect a state of a seat back of a seat; and a controller that lowers temperature of the conditioned air blown out from an air outlet when the detector detects that the state of the seat back being switched from an upright state to a reclined state. The controller increases a volume of the conditioned air blown out from the air outlet when the temperature of the conditioned air blown out from the air outlet is lowered.

A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system including a plurality of airflow control doors. A plurality of door gears are in cooperation with the plurality of airflow control doors such that rotation of each one of the plurality of door gears actuates a different one of the plurality of airflow control doors to control airflow through the HVAC system. A selector gear is moveable to individually rotate each one of the plurality of door gears to selectively actuate different ones of the plurality of airflow control doors. A power gear rotates the selector gear.

The present invention relates to an air conditioning system for a vehicle in which an air-conditioning module having an air-conditioning case and a blower unit is disposed at a side of an engine room relative to a dash panel, and a distribution duct having a defrost vent, a face vent, and a floor vent is disposed in the interior of a vehicle relative to the dash panel so as to distribute cold air and hot air discharged from the air-conditioning case into the interior of the vehicle, wherein the floor vent is placed on one side of an area, in which a relatively large amount of hot air flows, in a mixing chamber of the distribution duct where cold air and hot air are mixed, i.e. a side adjacent to the dash panel.

In an instrument panel provided in a vehicle cabin front section, a face that projects into a vehicle cabin is formed with a T-shape in vehicle rear view. An air-conditioning unit of a vehicle air-conditioning device is provided at an inside of the instrument panel. In the vehicle air-conditioning device, a foot blower outlet provided on the instrument panel blows an air-conditioned airflow toward the feet of a front seat occupant, and an interior air intake provided on the instrument panel takes in air from inside the vehicle cabin to generate the air-conditioned airflow. The foot blower outlet is formed in a lower portion of a side wall at a vehicle width direction central portion of the instrument panel.

A unitary defroster system for a motor vehicle windshield comprises an instrument panel substrate, an HVAC supply source, and an air supply plenum in fluid communication with the HVAC supply source and terminating in a plurality of individually configured defroster nozzle ducts conjoined with the instrument panel substrate and aligned in a substantially linear row parallel to and proximate an interior surface of the windshield. The unitary defroster system is formed by an additive manufacturing process and at least two of the ducts are configured and arranged to deliver a different air flow to the interior surface of the windshield.

An automatic driving vehicle that is automatically movable, the automatic driving vehicle includes a LIDAR configured to acquire external world information on an automatic movement, and a bracket holding the LIDAR and fixed to the automatic driving vehicle. The bracket is fixed to a rearview mirror which is as another device different from the LIDAR.
