A vehicle with a front windshield and a dashboard, which has a ventilation device with a defroster air outlet, and which has a head-up display integrated into the dashboard and has a front windshield projector, and a shielding frame, which delimits a projection passage, through which the front windshield projector projects optical information onto the front windshield and/or onto a combiner screen disposed in the region of the front windshield. The shielding frame is formed closed in the form of a frame with a front frame part, facing the front windshield, and a rear frame part facing away therefrom, which are connected to one another via side frame parts. The front frame part of the shielding frame is made double-walled with an inner wall, delimiting the projection passage, and an outer wall facing the front windshield, which form the defroster air outlet therebetween.

A vehicle instrument panel structure is provided including a blower outlet and a guide member. The blower outlet is provided between a meter section on an instrument panel provided at a front section of a vehicle cabin and an interior member of a vehicle door, and is capable of blowing an airflow substantially toward a vehicle rear side. The guide member is provided at the vehicle rear side of the blower outlet so as to block the blower outlet from view of an occupant sitting in a vehicle seat provided inside the vehicle cabin, and extends at an angle toward the vehicle rear side on progression from a location corresponding to the blower outlet toward a vehicle width direction outer side.

A vehicle instrument panel structure including: a head-up display device that is provided within an instrument panel positioned at a front section of a vehicle cabin and that displays information by projecting light onto a windshield; a defroster that is provided within the instrument panel so as to be disposed alongside the head-up display device in a vehicle width direction, and that conveys air toward the windshield; a guide section that is provided at an upper face of the instrument panel so as to be disposed between the head-up display device and the defroster, and that has a cross-section profile as sectioned along the vehicle width direction profiled so as to cause airflow from the defroster to cling to a surface of the guide section such that the airflow is blown toward an area of the windshield in which information is displayed by the head-up display device.

The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle having a rear seat outlet, which can relieve temperature inversion that discharge temperature of the console vent becomes higher than discharge temperature of a rear seat floor vent in a bi-level mode, and prevent reduction of air volume of the console vent in the cooling mode. The air conditioner for a vehicle, which has a rear seat outlet, includes an air-conditioning case having an air passageway formed therein and a plurality of air outlets, and a cooling heat exchanger and a heating heat exchanger disposed in the air passageway of the air-conditioning case to exchange heat with air passing through the air passageway, wherein the air outlets include a console vent and a rear seat floor vent, and an entrance of the rear seat floor vent is formed above an entrance of the console vent.

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 blowing device has a first blowing portion, a duct, and an airflow causing member. The first blowing portion has a guide surface and is provided with a first blowing outlet that blows air from a blower unit into a vehicle compartment. The airflow causing member defines at least one of a first passage and a second passage located on one side and an other side of the airflow causing member in a front-rear direction of a vehicle respectively in the duct. The airflow causing member sets a first condition in which a high-velocity airflow flows in the first passage and a low-velocity airflow flows in the second passage by decreasing a sectional area of the first passage to be smaller than a sectional area of the second passage. The high-velocity airflow flows along the guide surface and is blown into the vehicle compartment.

An air outlet apparatus for an interior of a motor vehicle includes a first ventilation gap and a second ventilation gap, which are spaced apart from each other, a decorative element, which is coupled to a fitting covering for the motor vehicle and arranged between the first and the second ventilation gap, and a control unit, which is coupled to the decorative element and has a first regulating element and a second regulating element. An intensity of an air flow through at least one of the ventilation gaps and, by way of the second regulating element, an alignment of the air flow through at least one of the ventilation gaps can be adjusted independently of each other.

An air blower device includes: a blow-out portion A having an outlet A opening in a meter peripheral region to blow out air from an air sending device to the vehicle rear side through an inner side of a steering wheel provided between the meter panel and the driver's seat in a vehicle front-rear direction, wherein the meter peripheral region includes: a portion, which is other than a meter in a meter panel provided on a vehicle front side of a driver's seat in a compartment; and a meter hood provided to spread in a vehicle width direction above the meter panel and protruding to a vehicle rear side farther than the meter panel; and a blowing direction regulation device provided to the blow-out portion A, having an air guiding surface A along which air blown out from the outlet A flows, and regulating a blowing direction of air blown out from the outlet A by changing an angle of the air guiding surface A.

Provided is an instrument panel structure including: a lower panel portion that is provided with an air-conditioning device at an interior thereof, the lower panel portion having, in a vehicle upper portion thereof, a placement surface portion that extends in a vehicle width direction and a vehicle front-rear direction, and having an open portion, for the air-conditioning device, that opens toward a side of the placement surface portion; an upper panel portion that covers the placement surface portion as seen from a vehicle upper side and that is placed on the placement surface portion; and a slit-shaped air outlet portion that is formed between the lower panel portion and the upper panel portion, that extends in the vehicle width direction while facing a seat side, and that communicates the open portion with a vehicle cabin.

A vehicle air conditioning device comprises an instrument panel, a door that includes an overlapping portion where part of the door overlaps with the instrument panel in a closed state of the door, and a door blower outlet that opens toward a vehicle cabin interior, a first opening that is open toward the door, a second opening that is open toward the instrument panel, an air conditioning unit body, a first duct that that has a length direction end portion connected to the first opening, a second duct that has a length direction end portion connected to the door blower outlet, and a fin member respectively provided at the first opening and the second opening.
