【発明の詳細な説明】 （産業上の利用分野） 本発明は、空調装置を備える車両用座席、特にその空
調制御装置に関する。Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a vehicle seat provided with an air conditioner, and particularly to an air conditioner control device thereof.
（従来の技術） 自動車等の座席には、着座したときの快適性を増すた
めに、座席内を空調した空気が流通する座席空調装置が
提案されている。(Prior Art) A seat air conditioner has been proposed for a seat of an automobile or the like, in which air conditioned inside the seat flows in order to increase comfort when seated.

って座席を快適なものとすることができる。As disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 62-69827, as shown in FIG. 4, a groove 3 communicating with the outside is formed on an inner surface side of a seat cushion 1 and a seat back 2, and a groove opening of a seat is provided. A duct 4 is provided in 3a. And
The seat surface covering the groove is formed of a breathable member. For this reason, the seat can be made comfortable by sending the air-conditioned air from the duct 4.

けられている空調調整つまみを回して、最適の空調条件
を設定しなおす必要がある。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Since the air flowing into the groove (air conditioning flow passage) in the seat directly affects the occupant, it is desirable to adjust the air conditioning together with the state of the body. Therefore, it is necessary to turn the air-conditioning adjustment knob provided on the instrument panel to reset the optimum air-conditioning conditions.
ところが、空調調整つまみを回すときには、身体が座

な調整は不可能となる。また、空調条件も個人差がある
ので、複数人乗車するときなど、その調節は更に煩雑と
なる。However, when turning the air-conditioning adjustment knob, the condition of both the body and the seat changes because the body moves away from the seat, and it becomes difficult to set the air-conditioning condition appropriately, and fine adjustment is impossible. Also, since there are individual differences in the air-conditioning conditions, the adjustment becomes more complicated when a plurality of passengers are riding.
本発明は、上記問題点を解決するために、座りながら
にしても各座席ごとに空調を行える車両用座席における
空調制御装置を提供することを目的とする。An object of the present invention is to provide an air-conditioning control device for a vehicle seat that can air-condition each seat even while sitting down, in order to solve the above problems.

る。(Operation) The air-conditioning control device for a vehicle seat according to the present invention includes an adjustment lever positioned on the side of the seat while sitting on each seat.
By operating 18, the flow control valve 19 moves, and the flow path becomes narrow or wide, and the air conditioning condition changes. When the control lever 18 and the flow control valve 19 are mechanically connected, a rod, a link, or the like is used. When the flow control valve 19 is controlled by an electric drive unit, the control lever 18 serves as a switch unit.

対的に同じ位置に来る。In addition, when operating the adjustment lever 18, the user can perform the operation without losing his / her sitting posture, and since the duct length can be changed, the seat can be moved back and forth. When the seat position is moved back and forth, the duct 11 expands and contracts in the concave portion of the center console 12, and the adjustment lever 18 comes to the same position relative to the seat.

Air-conditioned air flows through the duct 11, and the adjustment lever 18 is set at an appropriate position. Thereafter, by moving the adjusting lever 18 forward or backward, the amount of air flowing through the duct 11 is adjusted by the flow rate adjusting valve 19 (see FIG. 3 (b)), and the air conditioning condition is delicately changed. Although the control lever 18 and the flow control valve 19 are mechanically connected, the control lever 18
May be used as a knob of the switch means to electrically turn on the electric drive means to move the flow control valve 19, and when the control lever 18 is at the front position, the state of the valve 19 is set to either open or closed. Is also good.

できる。(Effect of the Invention) Since the present invention is configured as described above, even if the position of the seat is adjusted by sliding the seat at the time of sitting, the duct has a length within the recess formed on the side of the center console. Is adjusted so that the flow path can always be secured, and the foot space is not affected. In addition, since the air-conditioning operation location is provided on the housing attached to the side of the seat at the same height as the seat cushion, even if the seat is slid, the air-conditioning operation location (adjustment lever) is relatively high. Since they are in the same position, once they recognize the position, they can operate while looking forward, and since the air-conditioning flow rate can be adjusted without removing their body from their seats, comfort during sitting can be maintained. In addition, since the housing, which is the control unit to which the adjustment lever is attached, can be attached to the seat as a single unit, the other parts are hardly changed and can be attached at low cost.
