Abstract:
A vehicular air conditioning device includes a damper and a unit case in which a shaft receiving hole is formed for supporting the damper. The damper includes a rotating shaft portion extending in an axial direction, and a plate-like first damper body extending from the rotating shaft portion. The rotating shaft portion includes a flange portion provided at only a partial region in the circumferential direction of the axis. The inner wall surface of the unit case includes an elongated protrusion, with which a first damper plate surface of the first damper body is contactable from another side in the circumferential direction, and a contact portion with which a second damper plate surface of the first damper body is contactable from one side in the circumferential direction. A radial space between a radially inward end part of the elongated protrusion and a shaft receiving hole is less than a radial size of the flange portion.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicular air conditioning device comprising:\n a damper including a rotating shaft portion and a first damper body, the rotating shaft extending in an axial direction with an insertion shaft arranged at an end in the axial direction, the first damper body extending from the rotating shaft portion in a radial direction of the axis and having a plate-like shape; and a unit case including a side wall portion with a shaft receiving hole into which the insertion shaft is rotatably inserted, and configured to accommodate the damper, wherein the rotating shaft portion includes a flange portion provided at only a part of a circumferential region of the axis, the flange portion extending radially outward from a base end of the insertion shaft, the first damper body includes a first damper plate surface facing one side in a circumferential direction, a second damper plate surface facing another side in the circumferential direction, and a first damper end face extending radially outward from an end part of the flange portion at the one side in the circumferential direction and being flush with the flange portion, the side wall portion includes an inner wall surface, an elongated protrusion, and a contact portion, the inner wall surface being contactable with the flange portion and the first damper end face from the axial direction, the elongated protrusion protruding in the axial direction from the inner wall surface and extending in the radial direction of the axis and being contactable with the first damper plate surface of the first damper body from the another side in the circumferential direction, the contact portion being provided to be apart from and closer to the another side in the circumferential direction than to the elongated protrusion and extending in the radial direction of the axis, and being contactable with the second damper plate surface of the first damper body from the one side in the circumferential direction, and a radial space between a radially inward end part of the elongated protrusion and the shaft receiving hole is less than a radial size of the flange portion.
