Disclosed herewith is an air conditioner housing for automobiles and air conditioner using the same. The air conditioner housing includes a housing body having evaporator and heater core accommodating spaces. Upper and lower air passages are defined by partitioning the inner air passage of the housing body. A front foot vent is formed at the air outlet end of the lower air passage, and defrosting and face vents are formed at the air outlet end of the upper air passage. A front air passage is formed by a guide wall slantingly upwardly extended to partition the space behind the heater core accommodating space, and a rear air passage is formed behind the guide wall to communicate with the upper and lower air passages. A combined door of foot and combination door is positioned on a boundary of the rear air passage and the lower air passage. First, second and third temperature adjusting doors are rotatably disposed in front of and behind a lower half of the heater core accommodating space and in front of an upper half of the heater core accommodating space, respectively.

1. An air conditioner housing for an air conditioner of an automobile, said air conditioner housing comprising:a housing body having therein an evaporator accommodating space for accommodating an evaporator, a heater core accommodating space for accommodating a heater core, an inner air passage between the evaporator and heater core accommodating spaces, and a space behind the heater core accommodating space, wherein the heater core accommodating space is located between the inner air passage and the space behind the heater core accommodating space; a first partitioning wall partitioning the inner air passage into first and second air passages for directing air from the evaporator accommodating space to first and second portions of the heater core accommodating space, respectively; a first floor vent formed at an air outlet end of said second air passage for discharging air to a first portion of a floor of an interior of the automobile; defrosting and face vents formed at an air outlet end of said first air passage for discharging air to an upper portion of the interior of the automobile, said defrosting and face vents being selectively opened and closed by doors; a guide wall partitioning the space behind the heater core accommodating space into third and fourth air passages, wherein the third air passage is positioned between the guide wall and the first portion of the heater core accommodating space and communicated with the first air passage, and wherein the fourth air passage is formed behind the guide wall to communicate with the first and second air passages; a combined door positioned between said fourth air passage and said second air passage for adjusting degrees of opening of said first floor vent and said fourth air passage; first and second temperature adjusting doors rotatably disposed in front of and behind the second portion of said heater core accommodating space, respectively; and a third temperature adjusting door rotatably disposed in front of the first portion of said heater core accommodating space. 2. The air conditioner housing according to claim 1, further comprising:a vent housing including a second floor vent for discharging air to a second portion of the floor of the interior of the automobile, said vent housing being attached to a wall of said housing body in a region extending from a part of said fourth air passage to said second air passage; a first communication vent formed on the wall of said housing body in said region for allowing said fourth air passage and said second floor vent to communicate with each other; and a first communication door operated in conjunction with said combined door for adjusting a degree of opening of said first communication vent. 3. The air conditioner housing according to claim 2, wherein said combined door is connected to said first communication door by a hinged joint.4. The air conditioner housing according to claim 2, wherein said first communication door is separated from said combined door.5. The air conditioner housing according to claim 2, further comprising a second communication vent formed on the wall of said housing body, a degree of opening of said second communication vent being adjusted by a second communication door.6. The air conditioner housing according to claim 1, wherein said heater core accommodating space is spaced apart from a bottom of said housing body by a predetermined interval so that, in a cooling mode, cold air always flows through a portion of said second air passage under the heater core.7. The air conditioner housing according to claim 1, further comprising a baffle, said baffle being positioned at an end portion of said second air passage to selectively guide air flowing through the second air passage toward the first floor vent or the fourth air passage,said baffle closing the second air passage when said baffle is brought into contact with an end of the combined door when the combined door fully opens the first floor vent, and said baffle closing the second air passage when said baffle is brought into contact with an end of the second temperature adjusting door when the second temperature adjusting door fully opens air passages extending through the heater core. 8. The air conditioner housing according to claim 1, further comprisinga condensed water outlet formed in a portion of the housing body under the evaporator accommodating space to discharge condensed water from the evaporator, and a baffle formed on a bottom of the housing body under the second air passage to guide the condensed water flowing under the heater core to the condensed water outlet.
