Construction machine
Provided is a construction machine capable of collecting foreign matter into a dust collection pocket and preventing the foreign matter from being scattered. The construction machine includes a cooler, an air passage forming member including a curved section, a dust-proof filter, a cooling fan generating a normal wind for cooling and a reverse wind opposite thereto, a dust collection pocket, and a turning member. The dust collection pocket has an opening and collects foreign matter at a position downstream of the inner wall surface of the outer corner of the curved section. The turning member is turned about a turning axis by the normal wind and the reverse wind, thereby being moved between a close position to close the opening and an open position to open the opening.

IN-WHEEL MOTOR DRIVE DEVICE
An in-wheel motor drive device (1) is arranged inside a wheel (W) of a wheel (92). The in-wheel motor drive device (1) includes a motor rotating shaft that rotates the wheel, as well as a motor unit (21) including a motor casing (29) that houses the motor rotating shaft, and a plurality of cooling fins (41) provided protruding from an inner end surface (29e) in a vehicle width direction of the motor casing and extending along a vehicle front-rear direction. In a state in which an orientation in a front-rear direction of the wheel (92) is aligned with an orientation in the vehicle front-rear direction, a protruding tip position at a vehicle rear side (41b) of the cooling fin (41) is positioned more inwards in the vehicle width direction than a protruding tip position at a vehicle front side (41a) of the cooling fin (41).
THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE
A thermal management system may include a first cooling circuit cooling PE parts and including a first radiator, a first coolant line circulating a coolant between the first radiator and the PE parts, and a first electric water pump circulating the coolant along the first coolant line, a heat pump system including a compressor compressing a refrigerant, an internal condenser performing a heat exchange between the compressed refrigerant and air supplied inside a vehicle, a refrigerant line circulating the refrigerant between the compressor and the internal condenser, and a heat exchanger for the heat exchange between the coolant and the refrigerant, a flow increase bypass line between the first coolant lines on the entrance and exit sides of the PE parts, and a coolant control valve provided at location where the flow increase bypass line is branched in the first coolant line and controlling a flow direction of the coolant.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN ENGINE BAY PROTECTOR
An engine bay protector to protect the vehicle engine from intrusion of liquid through an engine ventilation opening. The engine bay protector is formed with any waterproof material, including silicone. The engine bay protector has a width, length, and thickness that corresponds with the dimensions of the engine ventilation opening that is to be covered. The engine bay protector has sufficient weight to resist movement during rain and car wash and will remain on the engine ventilation opening after placing over the engine ventilation opening during the rain and car wash.
Air guide assembly
An air guide assembly for a vehicle includes a first duct, a second duct, a rigid first housing, and a vehicle component. The first duct includes a flexible body, an inlet for receiving airflow from an exterior of a vehicle body, and an outlet, where the body of the first duct is compressible from an installed length to a length that is shorter than the installed length, and is expandable from the installed length to a length that is longer than the installed length. The second duct includes a flexible body, a first inlet for receiving airflow from the first duct, and an outlet, where the body of the second duct is compressible from an installed length to a length that is shorter than the installed length, and is expandable from the installed length to a length that is longer than the installed length.

VEHICLE INCLUDING AIR INFLOW ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM
A vehicle includes an outside-air intake and an air inflow adjustment mechanism. The outside-air intake is configured to take outside air into an internal chamber of the vehicle. The air inflow adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust a flow rate of air that is to flow into the outside-air intake. The air inflow adjustment mechanism is disposed at the outside-air intake and includes one or both of a positive pressure source configured to perform discharge of gas and a negative pressure source configured to perform suction of gas.
