Benefits of technology

This solution enhances air circulation, maintains effective cooling performance, and reduces the seatback's internal space requirements, providing a more efficient and aesthetically pleasing ventilation system.

Problems solved by technology

The dual blower type of ventilation structure is problematic in that the temperature of air discharged from the seatback 20 typically is higher than that of air in the vehicle, so that heat exchange between the air and the cold air supplied from the vehicle HVAC is not sufficiently performed.

Abstract

A ventilation structure of a vehicle seat is configured to circulate indoor air of a vehicle through a seatback via a blower mounted on the seatback in a dual blower type of ventilation structure. This structure includes the seatback including a seatback pad having an exhaust hole and a seatback board having an intake hole, a seatback blower mounted on the seatback pad and providing a blowing force to introduce outdoor air of the seatback through the intake hole and then discharge the outdoor air to the exhaust hole, an intake duct mounted on the seatback board and providing a path to move the outdoor air of the seatback introduced into the intake hole, and a flexible duct connecting the seatback blower and the intake duct and deformable by a movement of the seatback while maintaining connection of the seatback blower and the intake duct.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0017718, filed on Feb. 13, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND(a) Technical Field[0002]The present disclosure relates to a ventilation structure of a seatback, more particularly, to the ventilation structure configured to circulate indoor air of a vehicle through the seatback via a blower mounted on the seatback in a dual blower type of ventilation structure.(b) Description of the Related Art[0003]In a vehicle such as an automobile, each seat typically is divided into a seat cushion to support a load of a passenger's lower body, and a seatback to support a load of the passenger's upper body.[0004]Furthermore, the seat cushion and the seatback forming the seat may include a cushion pad that has optimum elasticity to afford comfort, and a cushion cover that covers the cushion pad to protect the ...
