Abstract:
A method of controlling an air conditioning system can select several airflow modes with one air conditioner. The method includes a mode check step that checks whether the number of airflows of the air conditioner decreases, a state check step that checks whether a blower is selected to a minimum air amount mode, and a minimum operation step that operates a blower motor with a minimum torque smaller than a minimum start torque, if the number of airflows of the air conditioner decreases and the blower is selected to the minimum air amount mode.
Abstract:
An apparatus circulates a coolant in a turbocharger, which includes a first coolant line for supplying the coolant to the turbocharger from a water pump and configured to form a first flow resistance member to increase flow resistance to the coolant flowing through the first coolant line.
Abstract:
An automobile roof rack made of a continuous fiber thermoplastic composite may include a resin body having a roof rack shape, and an insert-reinforcing layer formed on an inner surface of the resin body to be integrated with the resin body into a single body and made of a continuous fiber thermoplastic composite (CFT).
Abstract:
A method for controlling a cold start of a fuel cell vehicle includes detecting and storing temperatures at an inlet and an exit of fuel cell cooling water a plurality of times after turning-off of the fuel cell vehicle. A start sequence is controlled based on the lowest temperature of the stored temperatures and temperatures at the inlet and exit of the cooling water at a restart of the vehicle. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance start-up stability and driving stability by controlling a cold start sequence according to an internal state of the fuel cell stack.
Abstract:
A dual clutch transmission (DCT) control method for a vehicle mounted with a DCT, which is not provided with an output shaft speed sensor, when a wheel speed sensor has failed, or the information cannot be controlled in a situation where shift gears are not coupled, properly couples the shift gears while preventing a clutch burst, and thus a controller can control DCT by calculating an output shaft speed of DCT.
Abstract:
An air-conditioning apparatus may include an air conditioner that is provided at a rear of a rear seat in the vehicle and includes a thermoelectric element and a blower to produce conditioned air, an inlet duct that connects the air-conditioner to a passenger compartment to introduce air in the passenger compartment into the air-conditioner, an outlet duct that connects the air-conditioner to a roof above the rear seat in the passenger compartment to blow the conditioned air from the roof toward a passenger in the rear seat, and a radiator that is provided at a trunk room to radiate heat from the thermoelectric element.
Abstract:
A leg rest device may a first link member rotatably installed in a front of a seat frame, a second link member installed on a leg plate for supporting legs of a passenger and connected to the first link member to be movable along a longitudinal direction of the first link member, a guide member, one end of which is installed in the seat frame to be rotatable together with the first link member and the other end of which is connected to the second link member to be movable along a longitudinal direction of the second link member, and a driving portion installed in the seat frame. The driving portion, when operating, provides power for the first link member to be rotated, and allows the second link member to be rotated and simultaneously to be moved in the longitudinal direction of the first link member as the guide member is rotated together with the first link member.
Abstract:
A lighting apparatus may include a printed circuit board (PCB) for supplying power, a light source electrically connected to the PCB and generating light, a reflector installed to be positioned at a front of the light source and positioned in a case and guiding the light generated from the light source together with the case, and a prism installed to be positioned at a front of the reflector and surround a dial plate and concentrating the light guided by the reflector and the case into the dial plate.
Abstract:
A crash box for a vehicle may include a front connection portion that is connected to both ends of a back beam of the vehicle, a rear connection portion that is connected to a side member of the vehicle, an intermediate connection portion for connecting the front connection portion and the rear connection portion, which is formed as a hollow box shape and through which a cut cross-section of a heptangular shape is formed in a vehicle width direction, and a plurality of reinforcement ribs formed at an inner space of the intermediate connection portion.
Abstract:
A diagnostic method for shifting an actuator of a transmission may include accumulating, by a controller, a damage index for an applied current when a current is applied to the actuator of the transmission, and determining, by the controller, whether the accumulated damage index exceeds a predetermined reference index and when it is determined that the accumulated damage index exceeds the predetermined reference index, determining the actuator as a failure.
