Universal Mode Plate
A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system including an HVAC assembly, a set of pins, mode doors, a mode plate, an actuator, and an HVAC control module. The mode doors control airflow from the HVAC assembly. A position of each mode door is controlled by a corresponding pin of the set of pins. The mode plate includes (i) a set of grooves, (ii) a first adjustment path and (iii) a second adjustment path. The first adjustment path causes a first pin of the set of pins to move toward a center. The second adjustment path causes the first pin to move away from the center of the mode plate. An HVAC module selectively actuates the actuator to causes the mode plate to rotate in at least one of a passive direction and the active direction in response to receiving a mode request.
AIR VENTILATION DEVICE OF VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
An air ventilation device of a vehicle includes: a housing including an air inlet and an air outlet and a cooling core and a heating core disposed between the air inlet and the air outlet; a rear extending flow path extending to the rear of the vehicle, and having a first end connected to the air outlet of the housing and a second end connected to a back seat air vent disposed to face a back seat space; an air collecting flow path directly connecting the rear extending flow path and the air inlet of the housing; and an opening and closing door structure opening and closing air circulation between the rear extending flow path and the air outlet and air circulation between the air collecting flow path and the air inlet.
VEHICULAR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
A vehicular air conditioning system and a control method thereof are provided. The vehicular air conditioning system includes: a plurality of mode doors configured to switch an air discharge mode in a passenger compartment, the mode doors including a defogging door, a vent door and a floor door; and a mode door air pressure reduction part configured to temporarily reduce an air pressure acting on at least one of the mode doors when the air discharge mode is switched.
Internal gear linkage
An air handling system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system of a motor vehicle having a passenger compartment, includes a main housing having a first mode door rotatably disposed therein and a second mode door rotatably disposed therein. An actuator drives the first mode door. A control mechanism is disposed within the housing and is configured to control a simultaneous rotational position of each of the first mode door and the second mode door.
HVAC defrost outlet airflow control
A defrost airflow door assembly for a vehicle heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) assembly. The defrost airflow door assembly includes a main defrost door defining a defrost bleed opening. The main defrost door is movable to control airflow through a windscreen defrost outlet of the HVAC assembly. A side defrost door is movable to control airflow through both the defrost bleed opening and a side window defrost outlet of the HVAC assembly.
AIR-CONDITIONING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE COMPRISING AN ARTICULATED FLAP
Described herein is a heating and/or air-conditioning device for a motor vehicle, the device including an inlet duct for the supply of fresh air, an air transmission branch, and an air heating branch, both supplied by the inlet duct and communicating with each other via a mixing zone. A butterfly flap is mounted pivotably around a rotation axis located at the mixing zone. The butterfly flap comprises a first wing associated with a first branch and a second wing associated with a second branch, as well as a wing extension elastically hinged to the first wing according to a hinge axis parallel to the rotation axis of the butterfly flap. Within the first branch are arranged abutment formations suitable to be engaged by the wing extension and to induce, during a rotation of the butterfly flap, a rotation of the wing extension with respect to the first wing.
Air flow control device and ventilation, heating, or air conditioning unit
An air flow control for a ventilation, heating, or air conditioning unit of a motor vehicle, having a housing with a cold air passage with a first inlet opening and with a hot air passage with a second inlet opening. At least one heating heat exchanger is disposed in the hot air passage in order to heat the air in the hot air passage with a mixing chamber for mixing a first partial air flow from the cold air passage and/or a second partial air flow from the hot air passage. The mixing chamber is disposed downstream of the hot air passage and of the cold air passage. A mixing flap substantially closes the first inlet opening. The housing downstream of the mixing chamber has a first outlet opening and at least one second outlet opening for the flowing of air out of the mixing chamber.
HVAC unit
The present teachings include a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit including an evaporator, a heater core, and an airflow control door. The heater core is arranged downstream of the evaporator with respect to a direction of airflow through the HVAC unit. The airflow control door is downstream of both the evaporator and the heater core. The airflow control door is movable to increase and decrease a cross-sectional area of an airflow path downstream of the temperature control door, such as to facilitate mixing of airflow that has passed through the heater core with airflow that has passed around the heater core.
Air conditioning system and method for multi-zone air conditioning of a vehicle interior
Air conditioning system for multi-zone air conditioning of a motor vehicle interior comprising a casing with a mixing chamber and several zone outlets outgoing from mixing chamber, in which an evaporator and at least one heat exchanger are disposed such that main air flow from evaporator through at least one heat exchanger into zone outlets is linear and at least two bypass channels, each comprising a louver, in order to circumvent at least one heat exchanger connect a region downstream of evaporator and a region downstream of at least one heat exchanger, wherein the first bypass channel, as a mixing bypass channel, opens out into mixing chamber and the second bypass channel, as a stratification bypass channel, opens out into a zone outlet.
Flap with a counterweight for an air extractor of a motor vehicle
The present invention relates to a flap (214) for an air extractor (210), in particular of a motor vehicle, said flap comprising a rigid or semi-rigid wall (242), articulation means (240) to allow a pivoting of the flap about an axis (A) substantially parallel to the wall, and at least one counterweight at a distance from said wall and removably connected to said wall (242). It also relates to an air extractor (210), in particular of a motor vehicle, comprising a support (212) having at least one window (218) defining an opening for the passage of air and at least one flap as described above and movable between a position of closure of the opening and a position of opening up this opening.
