Return air blocking device for ventilation of the interior of a motor vehicle
A return air blocking device for ventilation of the interior of a motor vehicle, with a frame or housing with at least one sealing surface and with at least one flexible valve flap mounted on the frame or the housing, which in an idle position abuts on the sealing surface and prevents a flow of air through the return air blocking device, and which, when a sufficient pressure occurs, assumes an opening position lifted from the sealing surface in which it allows a flow of air through the return air blocking device, wherein the at least one valve flap comprises at least one slit on its end mounted on the frame or housing, wherein the frame or the housing comprises at least one holding projection which engages in the at least one slit.
Pressure relief assembly
A pressure relief assembly may include at least one pressure relief chamber including a membrane support base connected to a counterbalance clearance space. The membrane support base defines one or more air passages. The pressure relief assembly may also include at least one flap sub-assembly pivotally secured to the at least one pressure relief chamber. Each flap sub-assembly may include a pivot bracket pivotally secured to the at least one pressure relief chamber and including a counterbalance configured to pivot into the counterbalance clearance area, and a membrane flap securely connected to the pivot bracket. The membrane flap seats on the membrane support base over the one or more air passages in a closed position, and is configured to move into an open position. The counterbalance counterbalances the membrane flap and pivots into the counterbalance clearance area when the membrane flap moves into the open position.
Air extractor grille
Disclosed herein is an air extractor grille. The air extractor grille includes a grille body and a grille cover. The grille body includes a plurality of openable flaps which are arranged vertically in a successive order in a vehicle body inside a rear bumper. The grille cover covers at least a portion of the grille body. The grille cover has a plurality of vent slots formed in a front surface of the grille cover and arranged vertically in a successive order as well. A block plate is bent from a lower end of each of the vent slots in such a way that the block plate protrudes outwards, thus preventing the vent slot from being directly exposed to the outside. Therefore, when the flaps open, foreign substances are prevented from directly entering the interior of the vehicle through the flaps.
Pressure Relief Assembly Having Latchable Cover
A pressure relief assembly includes a main body (100) including at least one air passage chamber defined between one or more outer walls. At least one flap (320) covers at least one air opening within the air passage chamber(s). The outer wall(s) include one or more first latch members (120). A cover (200) includes one or more second latch members (202) that are configured to securely latch to the first latch member(s).
AIR VENT ASSEMBLY WITH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
A vent assembly of a vehicle includes a vent having a vent opening through which an airflow is directed, and a primary duct operably connected to the vent to convey the airflow toward the vent opening. A pressure relief valve is located along the primary duct. The pressure relief valve is configured to open when a pressure of the airflow in the primary duct exceeds a threshold, to divert a portion of the airflow through the pressure relief valve.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
The electric vehicle according to the present disclosure calculates motor torque using an MT vehicle model simulating an MT vehicle having a manual transmission and an internal combustion engine. In the first operation mode, an operation amount of a pseudo-clutch pedal and a shift position of a pseudo-gearshift are input to the MT vehicle model to reflect operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal and operation of the pseudo-gearshift in electric motor control. In the second operation mode where the operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal is not needed, an operation amount of a clutch pedal calculated by a driver model is input to the MT vehicle model instead of the operation amount of the pseudo-clutch pedal.
VENTILATION VALVE FOR A VEHICLE
A ventilation valve for ventilating the interior of a vehicle includes a valve frame with at least one through opening, and also at least one ventilation flap which is mounted on the valve frame and is pivotable between a closed position and an open position, wherein the at least one ventilation flap closes the at least one through opening in the closed position and opens up the at least one through opening in the open position. A resetting feature is provided for pivoting the at least one ventilation flap back out of the open position into the closed position.
VENTILATION VALVE FOR A VEHICLE
A ventilation valve for a vehicle for letting air out of a vehicle interior includes a valve frame with at least one through opening, and at least one valve flap which is mounted on the valve frame and is adjustable between a closed position and an open position. The at least one valve flap closes the at least one through opening in the closed position and opens up the at least one through opening in the open position. Air escaping through the at least one through opening flows from an air inlet side to an air outlet side along a main flow direction. A wall bounding the at least one through opening is inclined into the air flow in such a manner that the through opening tapers in the main flow direction.
Pressure relief valve for automobile
A pressure relief valve for an automobile, the valve comprising a frame having a top portion, a bottom portion, a left side portion and a right side portion surrounding a central air passage, the frame having an inlet side for receiving air from a passenger compartment of the automobile and having an outlet side for exhausting the air from the passenger compartment of the automobile. The valve includes a plurality of horizontal members extending between the left side portion and the right side portion, a plurality of delta-shaped spoilers supported by the horizontal members and a plurality of flaps pivotally mounted on the outlet side to pivot between a closed position that inhibits airflow and an open position that permits airflow.
Collapsible sound insulator for a pressure relief valve that relieves pressure in a cabin of a vehicle
A sound insulator for a vehicle cabin pressure relief valve includes a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall. The first wall is configured to inhibit sound from travelling in a lateral direction from the pressure relieve valve to a passenger compartment in the vehicle cabin. The second wall projects from the first wall and is configured to inhibit sound from travelling in a first longitudinal direction from the pressure relieve valve to the passenger compartment. The second wall is oriented at a first angle relative to the first wall. The third wall projects from the first wall and is configured to inhibit sound from travelling in a vertical direction from the pressure relieve valve to the passenger compartment. The third wall is oriented at a second angle relative to the first wall. The first and second angles are adjustable without damaging the sound insulator.
