Sun visor module
A sun visor module includes: a base portion which has an accommodating space formed therein and a front portion provided at the ceiling of a front seat of a vehicle in an openable or closable form; a sun visor portion which is provided at the center of the inside of the base portion and slides in or out through the front portion of the base portion; a screen-shaped awning portion which is provided at a lower portion of the inside of the base portion to be entered in or out to the front portion of the base portion; an air discharge portion which is connected with an A-pillar of the vehicle to introduce the wind flowing in the A-pillar into the base portion; and a first blowing portion which communicates with the rear lower portion of the base portion to send the wind to the inside of the vehicle.
Air conditioning unit for vehicle having air conditioning case with backflow prevention rib
An air conditioning unit for a vehicle includes an air conditioning case, a blower, a cooler including a core, and a drain port that drains condensed water generated in the cooler from the air conditioning case. A bottom surface of the air conditioning case defines a drain path extending from a boundary between the blower and the air conditioning case to the drain port. The drain path is inclined downward toward the drain port. A backflow prevention rib protrudes from the bottom surface to extend along a direction intersecting with a width direction of the air conditioning case. The backflow prevention rib is configured to guide the condensed water to the drain port. The backflow prevention rib is located below a virtual line that extends from the boundary to a lower end of an upstream surface of the core.
Air conditioning device for vehicle
An air conditioning device for a vehicle includes a seat air conditioning unit that blows out air from a front side of a seat and an interior air conditioning unit that blows out air whose temperature has been adjusted by a cooling heat exchanger and a heating heat exchanger toward the vehicle interior space. The air conditioning device for a vehicle includes a first duct member for guiding the air flowing between the cooling heat exchanger and the heating heat exchanger in the interior air conditioning unit to the seat air conditioning unit. The air conditioning device for a vehicle further includes a second duct member for guiding the air higher in temperature than the air flowing between the cooling heat exchanger and the heating heat exchanger to the seat air conditioning unit.
VENTILATION SYSTEM FOR A POWER MACHINE
An HVAC system for a power machine can include a housing configured to be supported on a front frame member of the power machine forward of an operator enclosure. A ductwork section can be connected to the housing and direct air from the housing to a front opening in the operator enclosure.
Variable rear HVAC blower maps for improved defroster performance
Methods, systems, and apparatus for a control system that improves defroster performance in a vehicle by reducing rear heater core heat rejection to increase heat availability to the defroster. The control system includes a rear heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit configured that moves air into the vehicle. The control system 100 includes a memory for storing multiple blower maps. The control system includes an electronic control unit connected to the rear HVAC unit and memory. The electronic control unit is configured to determine a mode for a front HVAC. The electronic control unit is configured to obtain from the memory a blower map for the rear HVAC unit from the multiple blower maps based on the mode. The electronic control unit is configured to determine an airflow rate for the air based on the obtained blower map and control an amount of air outputted.
Electric vehicle with cleaning device
An electric vehicle with a cleaning device includes a electric motor, a cleaning device connected with a pipe installed in a vehicle cabin, a first clutch that connects and disconnects the electric motor with an axle of wheels of the vehicle, a second clutch that connects and disconnects the electric motor with the cleaning device, a control unit that controls one of the first clutch and the second clutch to selectively connect one of the cleaning device and the axle with the electric motor and activate the cleaning device.
Vehicle with articulating grille
A vehicle includes a body structure defining a front trunk having a front opening. A grille coves the front opening in a closed position and is pivotable about a vertical hinge, or a horizontal hinge along a top edge, secured to the body structure to provide access to the front opening. The grille may include a bin mounted on an inner surface of the grille and pivotable with the grille, a heating/cooling duct or a video display.
Vehicle Defroster Duct
A heater duct can be coupled to an instrument panel of a vehicle, and comprises a base, a nozzle, and a neck. The base is sealingly coupled to the instrument panel and includes an inlet opening to receive air from a heater. The nozzle includes an outlet opening and is fluidly connected to the base. The nozzle deflects the air through the outlet opening and toward a predetermined region of a windshield. The neck extends between and is sealingly coupled to the base and nozzle. The base, nozzle, and neck cooperate to at least partially define an interior volume. The heater duct is positioned in an orthogonal coordinate system comprising an x-axis, a y-axis, and a z-axis. Air flowing from the inlet opening through the interior volume toward the outlet opening follows a path sequentially extending in substantially a negative z-direction, substantially a negative y-direction, and substantially a positive z-direction.
HVAC unit placement configuration for a vehicle
Embodiments and examples are disclosed for placement configurations of HVAC units for electric vehicles. For one embodiment, a vehicle includes a front compartment, a cabin compartment, a vehicle body, and a HVAC unit. The front compartment is at a front end of the vehicle. The cabin compartment is at a center of the vehicle to contain passengers. The body of the vehicle contains a dashwall separating the front compartment from the cabin compartment. The heat ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) unit is situated in the front compartment, separated from the cabin compartment by the dashwall, where the HVAC unit provides heat, ventilation, and air conditioning to the user in the cabin compartment.
Air Outlet Apparatus for an Interior of a Motor Vehicle, and System
An air outlet apparatus for an interior of a motor vehicle includes a first ventilation gap and a second ventilation gap, which are spaced apart from each other, a decorative element, which is coupled to a fitting covering for the motor vehicle and arranged between the first and the second ventilation gap, and a control unit, which is coupled to the decorative element and has a first regulating element and a second regulating element. An intensity of an air flow through at least one of the ventilation gaps and, by way of the second regulating element, an alignment of the air flow through at least one of the ventilation gaps can be adjusted independently of each other.
