Abstract:
A door lock mechanism for a vehicle, may include a lock pin which is moved between an unlocked position and a locked position in a radial direction from a rotation axis of a pawl lever, wherein at the unlocked position, a rotating displacement of an outside handle lever is configured to be transmitted to the pawl lever, and at the locked position, the rotating displacement of the outside handle lever is configured to not be transmitted to the pawl lever, a lock lever which is selectively rotated to allow the lock pin to be moved in the radial direction, a safety lever engaged with the lock lever, the safety lever receiving a manipulation force of a safety knob and rotating the lock lever, and an interlinking unit which allows a rotating displacement of the pawl lever to be partly transmitted to the safety lever.
Abstract:
A height adjuster of a seat belt for a vehicle may include a rail bracket configured to be fixedly mounted on a vehicle body so that rail grooves are formed to be continuously connected and the rail grooves are vertically disposed on the rail bracket, a slider configured to be coupled to the rail bracket and moving along a length direction of the rail bracket and having left and right surfaces provided with guide grooves so as to be fitted in edge portions of the rail bracket which are provided with the rail grooves, and a locking mechanism configured to be coupled to the slider so as to elastically slidably move and restrict a movement of the slider at a time of contacting the rail groove and release the restriction of the movement of the slider at a time of being separated from the rail groove.
Abstract:
A heating system for a hybrid vehicle may include a first heating line connecting an engine, having a temperature which is controlled through water-cooling, to a heater core that is heated using a heat generated from the engine, a second heating line allowing for heat exchange between various electronic devices and an auxiliary radiator controlling the temperatures of the various electronic devices, a branch line connected to the first heating line and the second heating line and exchanging heat therebetween, a plurality of valves provided on each of the first heating line, the second heating line, and the branch line, and a controller controlling each valve.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a locking unit and a G-sensor assembly for a vehicle tray using the locking unit. The locking unit may include a case unit fixed to a first object and a magnetic assembly for selectively engaging with a second object which is disposed outside the case unit. The magnetic assembly may be movably disposed in the case unit. When a shock is generated, the magnetic assembly may move from inside the case unit to outside the case unit by a repulsive force generated between magnets having a same polarity, and consequently engage with the second object and restrict rotation of the second object.
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:
An engine rpm signal processing method in a vehicle, may include a low speed determination step for determining whether an engine rpm sensor signal needs to be subjected to post processing when the engine rpm sensor signal is less than a predetermined first reference speed, and a filtering step for processing the engine rpm sensor signal with a Kalman filter to output a filtered engine rpm when it is determined in the low speed determination step that the post processing of the engine rpm sensor signal is necessary.
Abstract:
A shift control method for a dual clutch transmission (DCT) vehicle may include determining whether power-on downshift is initiated, determining a progress degree of a shift process if the power-on downshift is initiated, determining a difference in the number of shift stages between a target shift stage and a current shift stage according to the determined progress degree of the shift process, and selecting and performing one of downshifts (e.g., other shaft full-skip power-on downshift, same shaft power-on downshift, and other shaft power-on downshift) according to the progress degree of the shift process and the shift stage number difference.
Abstract:
A watertight apparatus of exterior component for a vehicle may include a coupling member coupling an exterior component and a vehicle body panel, and having a coupling groove formed on an outer circumferential surface of a part of the coupling member which passes through a vehicle body panel, and a watertight pad which is arranged to be in close contact with a bottom of the exterior component, a first side of which is coupled to a part of the vehicle body panel through which the coupling member passes and a second side of which is inserted into the coupling groove.
Abstract:
An apparatus for reducing a clutch pedal effort may include a switching lever that is rotatably assembled to a pedal member and selectively engaged with a pedal arm and a reaction providing unit, a first end of which is engaged with the pedal member and a second end of which is engaged with the switching lever.
Abstract:
A link apparatus of a variable rear spoiler for a vehicle, may include an outer linkage coupled to a motorized rotating drive shaft, a base bracket affixed to a vehicle body and a spoiler bracket connected to a rear spoiler, wherein the outer linkage determines a withdrawal height of the rear spoiler at a fully open state of the rear spoiler, and an inner linkage positioned inside of the outer linkage and coupled to the drive shaft, the base bracket, and the spoiler bracket, wherein the inner linkage determines a withdrawal angle of the rear spoiler at the fully open state of the rear spoiler.
