SLIM TYPE AIR VENT FOR VEHICLE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
A slim type air vent for a vehicle includes a housing a discharge port, through which air is discharged in a direction toward a vehicle interior, an upper horizontal wing accommodated in a region of the discharge port and rotatably coupled to the housing, a lower horizontal wing which is disposed under the upper horizontal wing in the region of the discharge port and is rotatable according to a preset rotation direction of the upper horizontal wing, a spacer which is accommodated in the region of the discharge port and rotatably supports the upper horizontal wing and the lower horizontal wing, and a rotation link which connects the upper horizontal wing to the lower horizontal wing and controls the lower horizontal wing to rotate according to a rotation direction of the upper horizontal wing.
VEHICLE, AND AIR OUTLET DEVICE AND AIR OUTLET METHOD FOR AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM THEREOF
An air outlet device for an air-conditioning system of a vehicle includes an air outlet assembly disposed at air vents of the air-conditioning system and a control unit. The air outlet assembly includes a plurality of first air doors and a plurality of driving components, the plurality of driving components are respectively connected to the plurality of first air doors, and each driving component is configured to drive the corresponding first air door. The control unit is connected to the plurality of driving components, and is configured to control the plurality of driving components to drive the plurality of first air doors to open or close independently.
Air Vent Assembly with Fixed Vanes and Narrow Profile
An air vent assembly includes an air inlet, an air outlet, and a plurality of channels positioned between the air inlet and the air outlet. A first set of fixed vanes is positioned in a first one of the channels. The fixed vanes of the first set are angled or curved in a first direction with respect to a flow vector of the air inlet. A second set of fixed vanes is positioned in a second one of the channels. The fixed vanes of the second set are angled or curved in a second direction with respect to a flow vector of the air inlet. A gate is positioned within grooves of each of the first and second sets of fixed vanes. The gate is configured to regulate a position at which air may enter the first and second channels from the air inlet.
Adjustment mechanism for an air vent
An adjustment mechanism (7) for an air vent (5), which adjustment mechanism is adapted to guide an air stream flowing through the air vent. The adjustment mechanism comprises one or more adjustable first vanes (17) having a main extension in a first direction (D.sub.1), one or more adjustable second vanes (19) having a main extension in a second direction (D.sub.2) being angled to the first direction, a shaft (23) extending in the first direction and being rotatable around its length axis, a slider (47) being movably attached to the shaft, such that the slider is able to slide along the shaft in the first direction, and a rack (45), extending in parallel to the shaft and a pinion (41), rigidly connected to one of the second vanes and configured to cooperate with the rack.
AIR VENT APPARATUS OF VEHICLE
An air vent apparatus of a vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a knob electrically interlocked with a display disposed inside a cockpit and laterally moved to selectively operate various functions installed in the display and an air duct disposed on a movement path of the knob and configured to adjust a ventilation direction of air introduced into an interior of a vehicle according to the lateral movement of the knob.
VEHICLE AIR REGISTER ASSEMBLY
An air register assembly includes a barrel having first and second sides extending between third and fourth sides. A first retainer is disposed adjacent to the third side. A second retainer is disposed adjacent to the fourth side. A support feature extends between the first and second sides of the barrel. The support feature includes a first vane member extending from the first connector, a second vane member extending from the second connector and toward the first vane member, and a linking member extending between the first and second vane members.

AIR VENT APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE AND VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME
An air vent apparatus for a vehicle and a vehicle provided with the air vent apparatus includes: a controller mounted on a vehicle body; a mounting base mounted on the vehicle body and including a discharge port formed at a rear end portion of the mounting base; an air guide assembly mounted adjacent to the discharge port of the mounting base; and a drive assembly electrically connected to the controller and configured to drive the air guide assembly engaged to the drive assembly to rotate to a first position, a second position, or a third position under a control of the controller.
Actuator assembly for actuating air blocking elements of an outlet assembly
An actuator assembly for actuating air blocking elements of an outlet assembly is provided. The actuator assembly includes an actuator arm and a selector member operatively connected to the actuator arm to rotate the actuator arm about an arm axis. The actuator arm is operatively connected to a first air blocking element to rotate the first air blocking element towards its air blocking position without moving a second air blocking element upon rotation of the actuator arm in a first direction from a neutral, non-blocking position of the actuator arm about the arm axis. The actuator arm is operatively connected to the second air blocking element to rotate the second air blocking element towards its air blocking position without moving the first air blocking element upon rotation of the actuator arm in a second direction opposite the first direction from the neutral, non-blocking position.
OBD-CAPABLE AIR FLAP SYSTEM WITH SPRING-LOADED AIR FLAPS
An air flap system with an air flap frame, with at least two air flaps and with an air flap actuator, wherein the at least two air flaps are mounted in succession on the air flap frame so as to be movable between an open position and a closed position and span an air passage opening, the air flap actuator being connected to the at least two air flaps such as to transmit an adjustment force, the air flaps each having a bearing formation, each of which is mounted on a different bearing counter formation on the air flap frame, wherein the bearing counter formation of an air flap is arranged on a biasing device and is biased by the latter into a rest position from which it is displaced by an air flap arranged ready for operation in the bearing counter formation, wherein the bearing counter formation is connected to a locking device for joint movement, wherein, when the bearing counter formation is in its rest position, the locking device, protrudes into the movement space of another air flap and thus obstructs its movement between the open position and the closed position, wherein the air flap system includes at least one sensor detecting the operation of the air flap actuator.
