An opening and closing device includes a casing that defines an air passage, a slide door that includes a door main body slidable to open or close the air passage, and a sliding gear that is disposed on one side of the door main body in its width direction and includes first teeth in a sliding direction, and a drive gear that is rotatable around its axis line extending in the width direction and that includes second teeth in a circumferential direction around the axis line such that the first teeth and the second teeth are arranged in engagement with each other. When the drive gear rotates, a driving force is transmitted from the drive gear to the slide door through the sliding gear to slide the slide door. The door main body is restricted from shifting in the width direction due to the rotation of the drive gear.

Opening and closing device

An air conditioner for performing air-conditioning of an interior of a vehicle cabin includes a casing, an evaporator, a blower, a controller, and a cooling passage. The casing defines a ventilation passage through which air flows from an air introduction port toward an air outlet. The evaporator cools the air flowing through the ventilation passage. The blower is disposed on a downstream side with respect to the evaporator in the ventilation passage and generates an airflow in the ventilation passage. The controller controls an output from the blower. The cooling passage causes a position located on a downstream side with respect to the blower in the ventilation passage to communicate with a position located on an upstream side with respect to the evaporator in the ventilation passage. A controller is installed in the cooling passage.

An inner guide plate has an inner guide plate surface that guides air. An outer guide plate has an outer guide plate surface that guides the air toward a discharge port of the fan. In each of predetermined cross sections perpendicular to a rotation axis of the fan, a reference line is a line connecting the rotation axis and an outer guide end of the outer guide surface that is a radially inner end. In each of the predetermined cross sections, a guide line is a line connecting the rotation axis and an inner guide end of the inner guide surface that is a radially outer end. In each of the predetermined cross sections, a phase difference angle is an angle between the guide line and the reference line in a rotation direction of the fan. The phase difference angles of the predetermined cross sections are different from each other.

A battery pack includes a housing accommodating a plurality of batteries and a blower. A control unit manages the temperature of the batteries according to the battery temperature provided by a temperature detector. When the battery temperature becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined cooling required temperature, the control unit executes a cooling mode of operating the blower to cool the batteries. The control unit executes a temperature equalizing mode of operating the blower to equalize the temperature inside the housing by causing the fluid flowing through the circulation path even when the battery temperature is lower than the cooling required temperature and the cooling is unnecessary.
