A modular active grille shutter system that includes a frame connected to an automobile at a location forward of an engine or energy source such as a battery pack. The frame is formed from assembling several different sized components to create a cooling aperture. The modular active grille shutter system also includes an actuator pocket in the frame, the actuator pocket has an aperture and a surface that forms side walls of a pocket and the surface also includes a vane connection side. There is a plurality of alternate actuator output axes located within the actuator pocket, which depending on the actuator design they represent different possible locations for alignment of the actuator with the three vanes.

The invention relates to a system (1) of controlled flaps comprising two sets (10a, 10b) of flaps (100), each set (10a, 10b) of flaps (100) being able to adopt an open position (p1) and a closed position (p2), characterized in that said system (1) of controlled flaps further comprises an actuator (11) that is configured to bring one (10a) of the sets (10a, 10b) of flaps (100) into the open position (p1) before the other (10b) of the sets (10a, 10b) of flaps (100).

A front module for a passenger vehicle is disclosed. The front module includes an adapter element via which a panel part of the front module is supported on a front module structure arranged behind it. An adjustable covering device of a cooling opening of a cooling device of the passenger vehicle is integrated into the adapter element.

The present invention provides a shutter device for a vehicle in which a manufacturing cost is reduced.

Provided is a shutter device (1) for a vehicle, which has: a frame member (10) that has an opening provided therein and is mounted on the vehicle; a fin (20) that extends in a first direction; and a rotary shaft unit (40) that pivotably supports the fin (20) on the frame member to be pivotable in the opening of the frame (10). The fin (20) is provided integrally with or independently from the rotary shaft unit (40), and the fin (20) has a uniform sectional shape in the first direction.

Provided is a shutter device for a vehicle, in which a manufacturing cost is reduced.

A method of manufacturing a shutter device (1) for a vehicle, which adjusts an amount of air flowing from an outside of a vehicle surface to an inside thereof, includes steps of: preparing an upper base (11), a lower base (12), and a pillar (13) independently from one another; and mounting an upper portion of the pillar (13) on the upper base (11), mounting a lower portion of the pillar (13) on the lower base (12), and thereby assembling a frame member (10).

Provided are systems and methods for facilitating a user to configure and retrieve personalized settings for an information panel in a driving apparatus. The information panel system may be configured to store a plurality information panel configurations. Different information panel configurations may correspond to different users of the driving apparatus. Users may be identified when inside the driving apparatus by capturing their biometric information. Following identification, an information panel configuration corresponding to the identified user may be retrieved and configured on a display device. The displayed information panel configuration may include an arrangement of display items. The display items may have been previously selected by the identified user, and the selection may have included choosing an information panel template with one or more partitioned areas and selecting one or more display items to place in different partitioned areas.

The invention relates to a device for regulating an air flow intended to circulate through a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle, the device including at least one shutter capable of moving in an opening and closing direction between a closed position preventing the passage of the air flow and an open position allowing the passage of the air flow, the shutter being arranged to wind and unwind around a winding shaft, the device including a kinematic assembly for moving the shutter in the closing and opening direction, said kinematic assembly having at least one portion of the shutter.

A heat exchange module having a first heat exchanger, configured to enable heat exchange between a first fluid and a flow of air and extending inside a first plane of overall extension, and a second heat exchanger, configured to enable heat exchange between a second fluid and the flow of air and extending inside a second plane of overall extension, is disclosed. A housing delimiting, with the first heat exchanger, a circulation channel for the flow of air is included. The module has at least one air distribution member, movable between a position in which the air distribution member allows the flow of air to pass through the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, and a position in which the air distribution member prevents the flow of air from passing through the first heat exchanger while allowing the flow of air to pass through the second heat exchanger.

An air inlet shut-off device for a motor vehicle having: a support frame defining a passage opening for an incoming air flow, a curtain movable between a closed position and an open position, an automatic return system for the curtain having: an elastic element which is elastic in elongation along the rolling axis of the roller shaft and secured to the latter in such a way as to be rotated and vice versa; a cylindrical slider intended to move in translation along the rolling axis and in rotation about this same axis, said slider being secured to the elastic element in such a way as to be rotated indirectly by the roller shaft, said slider including a helical groove on its outer surface, the support frame including a fixed finger configured to be inserted in said helical groove.

A control unit is presented for controlling a driving unit arranged for adjustment of one or more first air guiding flaps of a motorised vehicle between a first outer position and a second outer position. The control unit comprises a communication module for communicating with a vehicle control network for receiving first adjustment instructions for adjusting the first flap, a power supply module comprising an input power terminal for receiving power from a vehicle power network and a first output power terminal for supplying a first current to the driving unit. The control unit further comprises a current sensor module for sensing variations in the first supply current and a control module arranged to control the first supply current in accordance with the adjustment instructions and the sensed variations. By separating the control module from the driving unit, functionality of the control module may be shared over multiple driving units.
