Liquid sealed damper for opening and closing member
A liquid sealed damper includes: an attachment portion attached to a peripheral portion of an opening of a vehicle or an opening and closing member for covering the opening; a contact portion to which an external force is input; an insulator configured to isolate vibration and connect the attachment portion and the contact portion; a main liquid chamber in which working liquid is sealed, the insulator serving as a wall portion of the main liquid chamber; an auxiliary liquid chamber divided from the main liquid chamber by a partition member and having a wall portion formed of a diaphragm; and an orifice passage formed in the partition member and communicating with the main liquid chamber and the auxiliary liquid chamber. The partition member has an inner gap in the shape of a recess, and a part of the diaphragm is inserted into the inner gap.
Autonomous control of vehicle cargo area doors
A vehicle cargo area door control system for a vehicle including at least one cargo area and at least one cargo area door. The control system includes one or more processors and a memory communicably coupled to the processors for storing a cargo area door control module. The door control module operates to, responsive to the generation or receipt of an instruction which will cause the vehicle to start moving, determine if all vehicle cargo area doors are closed. If at least one cargo area door is not closed, command(s) are generated to close the at least one cargo area door.
DELIVERY ROBOT CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF
A delivery robot control apparatus for controlling a delivery robot to unload an object and a method thereof are disclosed. A camera is provided in the delivery robot having an internal loading space for one or more floors and obtains an image including a door module which is provided in the delivery robot and connected to a frame forming the internal loading space. The controller determines up and low positions of the door module based on the image, and controls a first motor to move the door module to a target position based on the determined up or low position of the door module.
SWING-IN TYPE DOOR STRUCTURE OF VEHICLE
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a swing-in type of door structure of a vehicle that includes a door disposed in parallel at both sides of an entrance of a vehicle, and a door arm mounted on one side of the door to open or close the door by rotation, including: a center door bracket of which one end is fixed to one surface of an upper center of the door and that extends in a direction perpendicular to the door; a roller bracket of which one end is coupled to the other end of the center door bracket in a direction perpendicular to the center door bracket; and a roller mounted on the other end of the roller bracket and coupled to be rolled and rotated while in contact with a rail formed on a vehicle body of an upper side of the door.
Guide bumper for tailgate
Provided is a guide bumper for a tailgate, including a first guide member attached to one of a vehicle body and a tailgate, and a second guide member disposed on the opposite side of the first guide member, the first guide member including at least one outer body and at least one elastic core inserted into the outer body.
Vehicle hatch clearance determining system
A vehicle hatch clearance determining system includes a plurality of cameras disposed at the vehicle and a control having a processor for processing image data captured by the cameras. During a parking event, and responsive to processing of captured image data, the system detects objects, gathers information pertaining to detected objects exterior the vehicle and generates an environmental model based at least in part on the gathered information. With the vehicle parked, the system determines location of the vehicle relative to at least one detected object of the environmental model and determines if the model includes an object in a region that would be swept by a hatch of the parked vehicle when the hatch is being opened or closed. Responsive to determination that the object is in the region that would be swept by the hatch, the system stops movement of the hatch to avoid impact with the object.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTI-ZONED VEHICLE WAKE UP
Systems and methods are provided for controlling power modes of a vehicle and for providing passive entry to the vehicle. Responsive to a determination that a device is within a first distance from the vehicle, a wake-up action of the vehicle is initiated. The wake-up action includes a central controller transitioning one or more electronic control units (ECUs) or at least one program module from a first state to a second state. Responsive to a determination that the device is within a second distance from the vehicle, a welcome action of the vehicle is initiated. The welcome action includes the central controller causing the one or more ECUs or the at least one program module of the vehicle to execute an action associated with the vehicle.
SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING A CLOSURE PANEL OF A VEHICLE
A system for a vehicle includes a first closure panel of the vehicle operable between open and closed positions, a second closure panel of the vehicle operable between open and closed positions, at least one sensor that is coupled to the first closure panel and that detects precipitation, and a controller that prompts movement of the first closure panel from a first open position to a second open position based on the detected precipitation.
Vehicle door opening and closing apparatus
A vehicle door opening and closing apparatus includes: a vehicle door; a rail mounted on a vehicle body; and a roller unit mounted on the vehicle door, and configured to move along the rail, where the roller unit allows the vehicle door to open and close in either a sliding mode, in which the vehicle door slides along the rail, or a swing mode, in which the vehicle door swings in a predetermined position of the rail.
VEHICLE BODY
A vehicle body includes a rear opening and a rear header. The rear header includes a first and a second rear header panel. A closed cross-section space is defined by the first and the second rear header panels. The vehicle body includes a reinforcing member that is disposed in the closed cross-section space. The first and the second rear header panels each include a first portion extending downward in the vehicle up-down direction and a second portion bending from a lower end of the first portion and extending rearward in the vehicle front-rear direction. The reinforcing member is disposed in a region in which the first portion of the first rear header panel and the first portion of the second rear header panel face each other. A space is provided between a lower face of the reinforcing member and the second portion of the first rear header panel.
