A motor includes an armature including a commutator, a bracket including a conductive brush and a first wall part, and a first deformable part. The conductive brush is in contact with the commutator. The first wall part includes a first surface extending along a first surface of the conductive brush. The first deformable part is in contact with both the first surface of the conductive brush and the first surface of the first wall part. The first deformable part is deformable in response to movement of the conductive brush.

A ventilation module for a vehicle having a housing including a flap hingedly secured along an inner edge to the housing to extend across its open interior. The flap includes side edges and an interconnecting outer edge which contact, in a closed flap condition, support locations configured along the housing to define its open interior. One or more fingers extend from at least one of the side and outer edges of the flap so that the fingers abut standoff locations of the housing located in proximity to the support locations. Upon a sufficient positive air pressure condition created within the passenger compartment which overcomes a holding force exerted by the fingers against said stand-offs, the flap is allowed to open in a controlled fashion to vent to the exterior the excess air pressure, until reclosing upon achieving an air equilibrium condition.

A vehicle air conditioning device comprises an instrument panel, a door that includes an overlapping portion where part of the door overlaps with the instrument panel in a closed state of the door, and a door blower outlet that opens toward a vehicle cabin interior, a first opening that is open toward the door, a second opening that is open toward the instrument panel, an air conditioning unit body, a first duct that that has a length direction end portion connected to the first opening, a second duct that has a length direction end portion connected to the door blower outlet, and a fin member respectively provided at the first opening and the second opening.

A motor vehicle air conditioning unit, having a housing with at least one air channel arranged therein and with at least one heat exchanger for conditioning the air in the at least one air channel, the housing having at least one first air outlet and one second air outlet, a first air outlet channel being assigned to the first air outlet and conducting air to the first air outlet, and a second air outlet channel being assigned to the second air outlet and conducting air to the second air outlet, a first vane valve and a second vane valve being provided. The first vane valve assigned to the first air outlet channel, and the second vane valve assigned to the second air outlet channel, the first vane valve and the second vane valve being rotatably fixedly connected to a shaft and being rotatable by an actuator driving the shaft.

A device for manipulating an actuator, designed in particular in the form of a throttle valve or closure flap, of an air vent, wherein the actuator is optionally designed as an air-directing element or as part of a package of air-directing elements. The device has a motor-operated, in particular electromotive, drive, which is or can be coupled mechanically to the actuator in such a way that the actuator can be adjusted relative to the housing of the air vent by activating the drive. The device also has a sensor system for, in particular, directly sensing a real actual position of the actuator relative to the housing of the air vent.

A heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) assembly for managing air mixing door kinematics of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The assembly includes a first door configured for allowing passage of a first air flow, a second door configured for allowing passage of a second air flow, obtaining means configured to obtain a temperature command indicating a target temperature for a passenger cabin, identifying means configured to identify a pattern of non-linear door kinematics for mixing the first air flow and the second air flow based on the temperature command, coordinating means configured to coordinate the non-linear door kinematics between the first door and the second door, and mixing means configured to mix the first air flow and the second air flow.

A flap system for a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning unit for circulating-air/fresh-air control in a motor vehicle, the HVAC unit having flow ducts for circulating air and for fresh air and a mixing chamber in which circulating air and fresh air are mixed with one another for ventilating a vehicle interior, the flap system having two rotary flaps, each adjustable about an axis of rotation, and an actuator, by which one of the two rotary flaps is driven directly for adjustment, and wherein the other rotary flap is a circulating air rotary flap associated with the flow channel for circulating air for influencing a circulating air flow.

A control mechanism for controlling a plurality of movable elements of a ventilation nozzle using only one drive. The control mechanism includes a base body, a control gate, and at least two driven elements. A sliding block element having two degrees of freedom with respect to the base body is guided by alternating movements in two opposite directions of the first degree of freedom by the control gate and, in the process, consecutively abuts the first and/or second driven elements. So as to design such a control mechanism as simply as possible, rotational movements are utilized, instead of translatory movements.

An air vent control system comprises a directional air flow component mounted on a first axis within a first housing, and a second housing defining an inner space in which the first housing is mounted. A first motor moves the directional air flow component to an angular position within the first housing, and a second motor pivots the first housing contained within the second housing. A front and rear opening allows air flow in a direction from the rear opening to the front opening. A controller sets the angular position of the directional air flow component on the first axis, and the angular position of the first housing on the second axis. The respective positions of the directional air flow component relative to the first housing and the first housing relative to the second housing selectively regulate the direction of airflow discharged.

A torque transmission device, in particular for a flap of a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning system of a motor vehicle, having a drive lever, an output lever, and having a connecting rod, wherein the drive lever can be rotatably disposed with respect to a first axis and can be connected to a driving element, wherein the output lever can be rotatably disposed with respect to a second axis and can be connected to an element to be driven, wherein the connecting rod is connected in an articulated manner to the drive lever and to the output lever, wherein the connecting rod is formed connected to the drive lever and/or to the output lever by means of a film hinge.
