Abstract

An air introducing intake of an HVAC system for a vehicle includes an intake case having a first outdoor air introducing hole and a second outdoor air introducing hole formed thereon and a partition part partitioning an inner space into a plurality of spaces. A first indoor and outdoor air door rotates by a first rotation shaft and selectively opens or closes a first indoor air introducing hole and the first outdoor air introducing hole. A second indoor and outdoor air door rotates by a second rotation shaft and selectively opens or closes a second indoor air introducing hole and the second outdoor air introducing hole. An actuator operates the first indoor and outdoor air door and the second indoor and outdoor air door by rotating the first rotation shaft and the second rotation shaft.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An air intake apparatus of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
an intake case having a first outdoor air introducing hole and a second outdoor air introducing hole thereon and a partition part partitioning an inner space of the intake case into a plurality of spaces; a first indoor and outdoor air door rotating by a first rotation shaft and selectively opening or closing a first indoor air introducing hole and the first outdoor air introducing hole which are formed at a front side of the intake case; a second indoor and outdoor air door rotating by a second rotation shaft and selectively opening or closing a second indoor air introducing hole and the second outdoor air introducing hole which are formed at a rear side of the intake case; and an actuator operating the first indoor and outdoor air door and the second indoor and outdoor air door by rotating the first rotation shaft and the second rotation shaft.

2 . The air intake apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the actuator comprises a cam having a plate shape and a guide groove formed in an inner side of the cam.

3 . The air intake apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first indoor and outdoor air door has a first lever and the second indoor and outdoor air door has a second lever, such that the first lever and the second lever rotate along the guide groove of the cam according to rotation of the cam to open or close the first indoor and outdoor air door and the second indoor and outdoor air door.

4 . The air intake apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the cam links the first indoor and outdoor air door and the second indoor and outdoor air door with each other so that the second indoor and outdoor air door is simultaneously controlled when the first indoor and outdoor air door is controlled.

5 . The air intake apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the actuator performs a multi-stage control to open or close the first indoor and outdoor air door and the second indoor and outdoor air door at a predetermined angle.

6 . The air intake apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the partition part is disposed between the first outdoor air introducing hole and the second outdoor air introducing hole, such that a first space in which the first indoor and outdoor air door rotates and a second space in which the second indoor and outdoor air door rotates are formed.

7 . The air intake apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the partition part is disposed between the first outdoor air introducing hole and the second outdoor air introducing hole to separate air flowing through the first indoor and outdoor air door and air flowing through the second indoor and outdoor air door into the HVAC system to separate the air entering through the first indoor and outdoor air door and the air entering through the second indoor and outdoor air door from each other.

8 . The air intake apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the partition part has a “Y” shape.

9 . The air intake apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a filter through which air introduced through the first indoor and outdoor introducing hole and air introduced through the second indoor and outdoor introducing hole pass and enter the HVAC system.
