Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner for a vehicle having an air mix door, suppressing reduction of air flow property and improving air mixing characteristic. SOLUTION: The air mix door (20) has a door body part (23) for adjusting an amount of air passing through a detour passage (15) and a heating air passage (16) by opening/closing both passages (15, 16); and an air mix guide (22) integrally arranged opposed to the door body part (23) and forming an auxiliary air passage (26) a gap with the door body part (23). The air mix guide (22) is operated in response to the opening/closing action of the door body part (23) and a position relationship of an entrance side and an exit side of the auxiliary air passage (26) is varied. When the door body part (23) is positioned at a position for closing the heating air passage (16), the air mix guide (22) is arranged in approximately parallel to an air flow direction in the detour passage (15). Thereby, the air mixing characteristic is improved and reduction of the air flow property can be suppressed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
