Problems solved by technology

However, such an air conditioner does not have the function of regulating the temperature of vehicle seats, so that for instance in the summer, although the temperature of vehicle interior is lowered by the operation of the air conditioner, the vehicle seat is not sufficiently cooled and if a passenger is sitting thereon, because of the passenger's heat, the sweat of the passenger may make his hips and backs moist, and cause him to suffer from heat rash.
Also in winter, although operating the heater drives up the temperature of the interior of a vehicle, the vehicle seat does not sufficiently heat up, but stays cold, so that the hips and back of a passenger who is sitting thereon feels cold.
However, such a conventional air conditioner for a vehicle seat has drawbacks in tha

Abstract

An air-conditioning ventilation seat module for vehicles, may include a blower unit having a housing, a thermoelectric module having a casing mounted in the housing, wherein a thermoelectric device may be mounted in the casing, and wherein an internal space of the casing may be divided into a cold air path and a hot air path, a separator connected to one side of the thermoelectric module between the cold air path and the hot air path and having a curved section in order to maximize an amount of absorbing a condensate that may be created by a temperature difference between the cold air path and the hot air path when the seat module operates in cooling mode.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2010-0125670 filed on Dec. 9, 2010, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein for purposes by this reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates, in general, to an air-conditioning ventilation seat for vehicles and, more particularly, to an air-conditioning ventilation seat for vehicles, in which in an air-conditioning mode, an amount of absorbing condensate is maximized.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]Generally, vehicles are provided with an air conditioner, which includes a cooler and a heater, in order to regulate the temperature of the interior of a vehicle. However, such an air conditioner does not have the function of regulating the temperature of vehicle seats, so that for instance in the summer, although the temperature of vehicle interior is lowered by the operation of the air co...
