SYSTEM FOR MIXING CABIN AIR AND OUTSIDE AIR OF AIR-CONDITIONER FOR VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A system for mixing cabin air and outside air of an air-conditioner for a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a housing of the air-conditioner having a cabin air inlet for ventilating the cabin air and an outside air inlet for ventilating the outside air;
a first door part provided to selectively cover at least a portion of the cabin air inlet and/or a portion of the outside air inlet to thereby adjust an open value of each of the inlets;
a second door part provided to selectively cover the remaining portion of the outside air inlet to thereby adjust the open value of the outside air inlet;
a cam part rotatably installed in the housing and formed with first and second slots, wherein the first door part is slidably coupled to the first slot and the second door part is slidably coupled to the second slot such that a rotation angle of the first door part or the second door part is varied according to a rotation of the cam part; and
a controlling unit controlling the rotation of the cam part.
