An air vent for a vehicle interior, the air vent including a master lamella and plural slave lamellas that are respectively pivotable about an axis, wherein the plural slave lamellas follow an opening movement of the master lamella and are arrangeable at different angles relative to the master lamella in order to generate a diffuse air flow; an open portion which is defined by a plurality of lamellas including the master lamella and the plural slave lamellas with a respective flow out gap arranged between each of the lamellas so that air moves through the respective flow out gap into the vehicle interior; and at least one actuation element that is configured to control an orientation of the lamellas, wherein any one of the lamellas is selectable as the master lamella wherein an opening movement of the plural slave lamellas follows an opening movement of the master lamella.

An air vent includes a housing, first and second air ducts, a first vane, and a set of vanes. The air ducts convey respective volumetric flows of air through the housing so that each volumetric flow exits the respective air duct in a different intersecting direction so that the flows of air collide after exiting the air ducts. A vane located along one of the air ducts is moveable to vertically change a perceived air discharge direction. A set of vanes includes at least one vane located in each air duct and is moveable to horizontally change the perceived air discharge direction.

An air vent device for a ventilation system of a vehicle. The device has a pipe forming an air channel for providing air to a compartment of the vehicle and a diffuser for disturbing the airflow provided to the vehicle compartment. The diffuser has a portion made of a flexible material which diffuser portion is arranged to cover a part of a cross-section area of the air channel and the diffuser portion is expandable for varying the size of the covered part of the air channel cross section area.

An air vent for ventilating a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, which is divided into two air channels, wherein pivotable rudders for air guidance are disposed in each air channel. The rudders are provided with pinion segments and pivoted by way of toothed racks, which are integral with one another by way of a web.

A register device includes a register body, a plurality of upstream fins, a single downstream fin and an operation knob. The plurality of upstream fins are supported by the register body so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis extending in a left-right direction. The plurality of upstream fins are arranged in a vertical direction. The downstream fin is disposed in an air passage on a blow outlet side with respect to the upstream fins. The downstream fin is supported by the register body so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction. The downstream fin extending in the vertical direction includes a pair of flat plate portions extending in the vertical direction parallel to each other. The operation knob is supported by the downstream fin so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. The operation knob, as it is slid, rotatably operates the upstream fins. The operation knob is disposed between the pair of flat plate portions so as to be fit in a space between the pair of flat plate portions in the left-right direction.

The disclosure concerns an air vent for a vehicle, comprising a housing, configured to guide an air flow from an air inlet opening to an air outlet opening substantially along an axial direction, an air guiding element arranged at least partly within the housing such that a first air guiding surface of the air guiding element and the housing define a first air channel for guiding a first partial air flow, a second air guiding surface of the air guiding element and the housing define a second air channel for guiding a second partial air flow. The air guiding element also comprises a manipulator which is configured to pivot the first air guiding surface and the second air guiding surface independently of each other for regulating a ratio between the first partial air flow and the second partial airflow.

An air flow control system includes a plenum having an air inlet, a first air outlet, a second air outlet and a third air outlet, a vent door, an air guide, carried on the vent door, and an actuator. The actuator displaces the vent door between a first position closing the first air outlet and a second position opening the first air outlet. A climate control method for an autonomous vehicle is also provided.

A variable air vent is provided. The air vent includes a housing that is mounted on a vehicle and has an open center. A ball housing is coupled to the housing and has an inner side surface that is formed in a curved surface. A ball configured has front and rear surfaces opened and a side surface that is inserted into the ball housing in a curved surface form corresponding to the ball housing. A first knob and a second knob are vertically disposed on the front and rear surfaces of the ball and a plurality of discharge range adjusting wings have a first rotating shaft that is integrally formed at one end of a flat plate. A first side of the first rotating shaft is inserted into the ball and a second side thereof includes a first wing gear inserted into the second knob.

An air vent includes a housing, an air guide surface, an air flow adjusting element, and a vane. The air guide surface at least partially defines an air duct configured to convey a volumetric flow of air through the housing so that the volumetric flow of air exits the air duct in a direction that at least partially defines an air discharge direction perceived outside of the air vent. The air flow adjusting element is moveable to vertically change the perceived air discharge direction, and the vane is movable to horizontally change the perceived air discharge direction. The vane is not visible to a user of the air vent when the air vent is viewed from an air outlet end of the housing.

An air-conditioning unit for a vehicle includes an air conditioning case, a blower, and a rectifying mechanism. The blower has a blower fan rotating around a fan axis and arranged in an in-case passage of the air conditioning case, and blows out air drawn from one side in an axial direction of the fan axis by rotation of the blower fan. The rectifying mechanism is arranged downstream of the blower fan in the in-case passage, and the air passes through the rectifying mechanism. The blower fan is arranged so that the other side of the fan axis that is opposite to the one side extends toward a downstream side of the in-case passage. The rectifying mechanism suppresses a swirling flow generated by the rotation of the blower fan in the air blown out from the blower fan as compared with the blown-out air prior to flowing into the rectifying mechanism.
