Abstract
In an inside/outside air switching device, a rotary door includes a circumference wall provided at an upper side of a rotation shaft to extend in a rotation direction, both fan-like side plates connecting the circumference wall and the rotation shaft at both sides in an axial direction of the rotation shaft, a protrusion wall provided along an entire periphery of the circumference wall and the side plates to protrude to an outside of the rotary door, and a packing member provided at both surface sides of the protrusion wall. A clearance equal to or larger than a predetermined dimension is provided between the protrusion wall around a lower side of the rotation shaft and a seal surface of an inside/outside air switching box, for preventing a water storage.
