The present disclosure provides an air conditioning device for a vehicle. The air conditioning device includes an air conditioning unit disposed in at least one of front or rear of the vehicle. The air conditioning device further includes a duct unit blowing air of the air conditioning unit into an interior and extending inside of at least one of a front pillar or a rear pillar. The air conditioning device further includes a vent unit communicating with the duct unit through a connecting duct and selectively opening and closing a discharge path of at least one of a main path, a first path, or a second path so as to discharge the blown air to a side of a roof frame.

A vehicle venting assembly includes a panel that has an outer surface, an inner surface and a perimeter edge extending between the outer and inner surfaces. The perimeter edge includes a top edge, a bottom edge, a forward edge and a rear edge. The top edge has a shape matching a contour of an upper edge of a vehicle door window opening. The top edge is removably extendable into a window receiving slot of the upper edge. The panel has a vent opening therein extending through the outer and inner surfaces. A tube is coextensive with a peripheral edge of the vent opening and extends outwardly away from the outer surface. The inner surface faces an interior of the vehicle when the top edge is in the upper edge.

An air quality system for a vehicle includes a chemical detection apparatus including a plurality of nanofiber chemical sensors for sensing a plurality of airborne materials in a compartment of the vehicle. The plurality of nanofiber chemical sensors are configured to adjust a characteristic electrical signal in response to changes in the presence of the plurality of airborne materials. The chemical detection apparatus further includes a processor coupled to the nanofiber chemical sensor, wherein the processor is configured to monitor the characteristic electrical signals from the nanofiber chemical sensors and generate a detection signal in response to a change in the characteristic electrical signals. The processor is in communication with a controller configured to control at least one vehicle system in response to the detection of one or more of the airborne materials.

An on-vehicle air conditioner includes a suction port disposed on a ceiling of a vehicle cabin to suction air within the vehicle cabin, a door discharge port disposed at an upper end of a door opening portion located on a wall face of the vehicle to discharge air downward, and an upper duct configured to guide to the door discharge port the air suctioned by the suction port.

A safety ventilation device for vehicles or other applications has a housing with one or more openings covered by a hinged flap with the flaps interconnected by a connecting element. A spring is attached to the connecting element or otherwise to the flaps such that in a first position the spring keeps the flaps open and air can pass through the openings. In a second position, upon the application of force to the flaps, such as airflow caused by a moving vehicle, the spring compresses, and the flaps close. The housing of the device includes a protrusion at the top and a channel at the bottom to facilitate an interference fit between a window and a window or door frame.

An on-vehicle air conditioner includes a suction port disposed on a ceiling of a vehicle cabin to suction air within the vehicle cabin, a door discharge port disposed at an upper end of a door opening portion located on a wall face of the vehicle to discharge air downward, and an upper duct configured to guide to the door discharge port the air suctioned by the suction port.

A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a vehicle may include a heating body positioned inside an HVAC duct of the vehicle, formed between a first electrode portion and a second electrode portion having polarities opposite to each other. The heating body is configured to generate heat when the heating body is electrified to increase a temperature of an air being transported through the HVAC duct.

A vehicle ventilation control system includes: a reception unit that receives an instruction signal input by a user via wireless communication; and a control unit that controls ventilation inside a vehicle based on the instruction signal, in which the control unit performs ventilation control to control the ventilation based on the instruction signal input during a period after the user gets out of the vehicle to next boarding.

A curtain airbag device mounting structure includes: a first pillar forming a part of a front pillar and extends substantially along a vehicle height direction; a second pillar forming another part of the front pillar, the second pillar being disposed on a rear side of a vehicle relative to the first pillar at a predetermined distance from the first pillar and extending substantially along the vehicle height direction; a transparent member bridged between the first pillar and the second pillar; and a curtain airbag device including a curtain airbag stored along a roof side rail and the second pillar, the curtain airbag being configured to inflate and deploy in a curtain-like fashion over a side portion of a cabin of the vehicle in case of a collision of the vehicle.

An air quality system for a vehicle comprises a chemical detection apparatus comprising a plurality of nanofiber chemical sensors for sensing a plurality of airborne materials in a compartment of the vehicle.
