An air flap structure for a motor vehicle air-conditioning module includes at least two air outlet openings, a shaft, and a drive. The at least two air outlet openings each have an assigned closure flap configured to close and open the assigned air outlet opening. The shaft has therein the closure flaps arranged and is configured to rotate therewith. The closure flaps are rotatable into a closed and an opened position by a rotational movement of the shaft. The drive is configured to drive the shaft and configured to generate the rotational movement thereof. With respect to imaginary planes at both ends of the shaft, perpendicular to the shaft, the drive is arranged outside the axially outwardly facing sides of said two imaginary planes. A driving force of the drive is introduced onto the shaft exclusively between two adjacent air outlet openings of the at least two air outlet openings.

A bearing location for rotatably supporting a shaft on a carrier structure about a rotation axis may include a bearing opening disposed in the carrier structure. The bearing opening may include an cylindrical inner bearing face on an inner periphery arranged coaxially with the rotation axis. The inner bearing face may interact with a cylindrical outer bearing face disposed on an outer periphery of the shaft. An annular seal may be arranged coaxially with the rotation axis and may include a labyrinth seal have at least one annular rib and at least one annular groove. An inner sealing gap and an outer sealing gap may be disposed radially between walls of the rib and walls of the groove. The inner sealing gap and the outer sealing gap may each extend annularly and may be arranged coaxially with the rotation axis.

An air flap for an air conditioning system of a motor vehicle may include a bearing section defining a pivot axis for mounting the air flap on a housing and at least one flap wing integrally formed on the bearing section. The at least one flap wing may extend from the pivot axis at least one of radially towards an outside and in a circumferential direction relative to the pivot axis at least in regions. At least one of the at least one flap wing and the bearing section may include an outer skin and at least one inner region delimited from the outer skin towards a respective inside. At least one of the at least one flap wing and the bearing section may be composed of a plastic. The plastic may be exclusively a foamed plastic in the at least one inner region.

An arrangement for the air distribution of an air conditioning system (1) of a motor vehicle. The air conditioning system (1) is configured with a housing (2) with at least two flow paths (6, 7), which empty into a mixing chamber (8), and at least one air outlet (3a, 3b, 3c) as well as an air flap (10, 11, 12) which can open and close the at least one air outlet (3a, 3b, 3c). The arrangement has a device (18) for air mixing with at least one air resistance element (21), which is supported so that it can turn about an axis of rotation (20) and which extends in the direction of the axis of rotation (20). The air resistance element (21) is configured with at least one flow through opening, so that depending on the position of the device (18) a cross section of at least one flow path (6, 7) of the housing (2) can be changed.

A closable air vent may be bonded to a laminated or tempered windshield used on UTV or other types of vehicles. The air vent may include a vent body with a flap opening and a bond channel, a flap pivotably secured in the flap opening on a flap pivot, and an actuator coupled with the flap via a roll pin and displaceable between a flap closed position and a flap open position. In the flap closed position, the roll pin is disposed on one side of the flap pivot, and in the flap open position, the roll pin is disposed on an opposite side of the flap pivot.

A door for an air conditioning unit includes a door body, a shaft, and a locking portion. The door body includes a sleeve. The shaft is inserted into the sleeve. The locking portion is disposed in the sleeve and the shaft. The shaft is detachably engaged to the sleeve through the locking portion.

A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning unit includes a case, a door, an actuator, and a holding member. The case has a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall. The first wall and the second wall are connected by the third wall to face each other. The door is rotatably disposed inside the case through a rotational axis. The door rotates about the rotational axis to selectively open and close an air outlet. The actuator rotates the door between a closed position where the door closes the air outlet and an open position where the door opens the air outlet. The holding member is disposed in the second wall and holds the door when the door rotates to the open position by engaging the door.

The present teachings provide for a vehicle heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) assembly including a drive member, a driven member, a connecting member, a guide member, a first door, and a second door. The connecting member can be rotatably coupled to the drive member and the driven member and can be configured to be moved by the drive member to rotate the driven member. The guide member can be in cooperation with the connecting member and configured to restrict movement of the connecting member as the connecting member is moved by the drive member. The first door can be configured to be rotated by the drive member between a first position and a second position. The second door can be configured to be rotated by the driven member between a third position and a fourth position.

The present invention relates to a flap (14) for an air extractor (10), in particular of a motor vehicle, said flap comprising a rigid or semi-rigid wall (42) and articulation means (40) to allow a pivoting of the flap about an axis (A) substantially parallel to the wall, wherein the articulation means are located on a single edge (44) of the wall. The articulation means are spaced from said wall and comprise a swivel element (40). The swivel elements are preferably spherical or rod shaped. It also relates to an air extractor (10), in particular of a motor vehicle, comprising a support (12) having at least one window defining an opening for the passage of air and at least one flap (14) as described above and movable between a position of closure of the opening and a position of opening up this opening.
