There are provided an air mixing door, a plurality of outlets for blowing air into respective portions in a vehicle compartment, outlet mode doors for switching a outlet mode by closing and opening the plurality of outlets, and one motor actuator for driving the air mixing door and the outlet mode doors. The outlet mode doors and the air-mixing door are alternately driven through a change of an operation angle of the motor actuator.

Air conditioner for vehicle and air conditioning unit driving apparatus

In a vehicle air conditioner with a door driving system, a distribution link rotated by a single actuator is provided. One surface of the distribution link is provided with a temperature-control engagement groove through which a temperature control pattern is cyclically repeated plural times, and the other surface of the distribution link is provided with a mode-switching engagement groove through which a mode switching door is driven to a predetermined mode position in accordance with rotation of the distribution link.

Vehicular air conditioner with a single-actuator door drive system

In an air passage opening/closing device for a vehicle air conditioner, a driving member is disposed to apply driving force for a reciprocating movement of a film member to at least one position of the film member, and a guide member is provided in an air-conditioning case to guide the reciprocating movement of the film member. The film member has a flexible performance to move in a bend path, and has a rigidity to be moved along the guide member when pushing force from the driving member is applied to the film member. Thus, the air passage opening/closing device using the film member has a simple structure without a film-winding mechanism.

Air passage opening/closing device for vehicle air conditioner

A differential mechanism is provided between first output shaft, to which the rotation of the drive motor is transmitted, and second output shaft, to which the rotation of first output shaft is transmitted, for adjusting the relative positions of these two output shafts. An air-mix door is connected to first output shaft, and a blowout mode door is connected to second output shaft. The rotation of the drive motor is used to operate the air-mix door and the blowout mode door in linkage, and the blowout mode door is designed to be able to be independently operated by the operation of movable lever of differential gear mechanism.
