Abstract: A vehicle seat air-conditioning device has a branch duct and a blower. The branch duct is branched laterally from a ventilation duct on a condition of being mounted in a vehicle. The ventilation duct delivers air, which is blown from an air conditioning unit that air-conditions an inside of a vehicle compartment, to a periphery of a rear seat. The blower draws air from the branch duct and blows the air into a ventilation path formed in a blowing target seat. The blow is arranged on a lateral side of the ventilation duct on the condition of being mounted in the vehicle. Since the blower is arranged on the lateral side of the ventilation duct in the vehicle, the blower can be located at a lower position regardless of a length of the ventilation duct in an upper-lower direction. Therefore, a space in the vehicle that is occupied in the upper-lower direction by the ventilation duct and the blower as a whole can be reduced.

Abstract: An airflow generating device includes an airflow generating portion, a duct, and a controller. The airflow generating portion is configured to generate an airflow. The duct is configured to guide the airflow to a blowing outlet through which the airflow is blown out toward a passenger in a vehicle cabin. The controller is configured to cause the airflow to be intermittently blown out through the blowing outlet by controlling a frequency of a pulse voltage applied to the air flow generating portion and a duty ratio of a pulse width to a pulse period of the pulse voltage. The controller is configured to control the duty ratio and the frequency of the voltage such that the airflow is blown out through the blowing outlet at a speed between a predetermined lower limit, inclusive, and a maximum lower limit, non-inclusive, which is greater than the lower limit.

Abstract: A head-up display is applied for a moving body that includes a windshield, an air-conditioning unit having a blow-out opening, and a blow-out outlet. The head-up display includes a light source that emits display light and an optical path housing that defines therein an optical path for the display light. The display light reaches the windshield and the information is displayed on the windshield. The head-up display further includes an air-conditioning duct that defines an air flow path. The light source is exposed to the air flow path and radiates heat in the air flow path. The optical path housing and the air-conditioning duct commonly includes a separation wall that separates the air flow path and the optical path.

Abstract: A vehicle air conditioner includes a casing, a heater core that heats an air flow by heat exchange between the air flow and a heat medium, an electric heater that heats an air flow by an electric power, and a determiner that determines whether a temperature of the heat medium is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature. When the determiner determines that the temperature of the heat medium is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature, an air flow introduced into a casing is heated by the electric heater and flows toward the vehicle interior without passing through the heater core.

Abstract: An air discharge device is configured to discharge an air flow. The air discharge device includes a main hole for discharging an air flow as a working air flow, an auxiliary hole provided around the main hole to discharge a support air flow, and a vortex suppression structure configured to suppress development of vortices generated in a velocity boundary layer of the working air flow at a downstream side of an outlet of the main hole. This vortex suppression structure is configured to make a central portion of the thickness of the velocity boundary layer of the working air flow at the downstream side of the outlet of the main hole to be closer to a mainstream of the support air flow, at the downstream side of the outlet of the main hole.

Abstract: An air discharge device includes a blowout port, a flow path forming portion that forms therein an air flow path, and an air flow deflecting member. The flow path forming portion includes a first wall, a second wall that faces the first wall, and a third wall and a fourth wall that connect the first wall with the second wall. A part of the first wall on the side of the blowout port forms a guide wall shaped such that a distance between the first wall and the second wall increases along a direction toward an air flow downstream side. At least one of the third wall or the fourth wall includes a separation shape portion configured to cause an air flow on the air flow downstream side of the air flow deflecting member to separate from at least one of the third wall or the fourth wall.

Abstract: A humidification device is used in a vehicle air conditioner having a cooler disposed in an air conditioning case. The air conditioning case has a ventilation path leading air into a vehicle compartment. The humidification device has an adsorber that absorbs and desorbs moisture, a blower, a door that opens or closes an air flow path, and a controller. The controller switches the air flow path by controlling the door to set (i) a dehumidification mode in which air cooled by the cooler is led to the adsorber, and moisture in the air is adsorbed by the adsorber or (ii) a humidification mode in which air is led to the adsorber, the moisture is moved from the adsorber to the air to humidify the air, and the humidified air is blown toward an occupant.
