Abstract

Abstract A vehicular internal ventilating device, which includes: an air inlet device, it sucks in fresh air without direct blowing to the driver of passengers; an air exhaust device, it expels the vehicular internal used air and guides the flow direction of the fresh air, and a power supply. The air inlet device sucks in fresh air from the external top front end roof just above windshield and blows it upwardly to the internal top front end ceiling of a vehicle, then, the reflected fresh air current comes to the front seats and the back seats in a curved flow line style and goes out through the exhausting device from the lower side of the back seats. In this way, even the windows of a vehicle are tightly closed, fresh air ventilation and passenger comfortness can still be maintained.
