Abstract
A vehicle air-conditioning device comprises: a case inside of which a passage for air is formed, the case having an outside-air introducing port and an air discharge port, the outside-air introducing port opening on the vehicle front side and being capable of introducing air from outside a vehicle (the outside air), and the air discharge port being capable of discharging the introduced air to air the front side; a filter portion inside of which the air can pass through, the filter portion being arranged on the upstream side of the air discharge port; and an air blower capable of sucking the air introduced into the passage, the air blower being arranged on the downstream side of the filter portion. The passage is formed to be bent such that the angle θ between an opening face of the outside-air introducing port and an upstream surface of the filter portion is an obtuse angle. The case has a guide portion, the guide portion being configured to rectify a part of the air on the upstream side of the filter portion in the passage such that the air is directed towards the vehicle front side, and the guide portion being configured to guide the air to the filter portion.
