    摘要: A drive unit for a kinematic system in a motor vehicle. In particular, the drive unit is provided for independently moving two movable elements, in particular blades for guiding an air current of an air vent. The movable elements are driven by way of an actuator plate, which includes a radial cam rotating and radially displacing a slide, which consecutively rotates two output elements. In a blocking position, the slide blocks the output elements to prevent a rotation.

    摘要: A thermal management system includes: a first flow path, a second flow path, a third flow path, and a fourth flow path; an electrical storage device configured to exchange heat with a heat medium in the first flow path; a drive device configured to exchange heat with a heat medium in the second flow path; a radiator provided on the third flow path; a chiller device provided on the fourth flow path; and a switching device configured to switch a connection state between the first to the fourth flow path. The switching device is configured to provide a heating circuit. The heating circuit is a flow path circuit in which a connection flow path connecting the first flow path, the third flow path, and the fourth flow path and the second flow path are disconnected from and independent of each other.

    摘要: A vehicle includes a body, a cabin that is defined by the body, an air delivery system, and a controller. The air delivery system includes a blower, an air register, ductwork, and an intake module. The air register is positioned within the cabin. The ductwork extends between the blower and the air register. The intake module is positioned upstream of the blower. The controller adjusts a speed of the blower as a function of a speed of the vehicle.

    摘要: A system for detecting and mitigating window condensation for a vehicle includes an interior camera and a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The system also includes a controller in electrical communication with the interior camera and the HVAC system. The controller is programmed to determine an opacity of a first window of the vehicle using the interior camera, compare the opacity of the first window to an opacity threshold, and adjust the HVAC system to decrease the opacity of the first window of the vehicle in response to determining that the opacity of the first window is greater than or equal to the opacity threshold.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle air vent comprising a body, an actuator, a first set of vanes, a first vane drive system moveably connected to the first set of vanes, a second set of vanes, and a second vane drive system moveably connected to the second set of vanes. The actuator is positioned to, in operation, provide force to both the first and second vane drive systems in a single direction, thus causing movement of both the first and second sets of vanes.

    摘要: A method for controlling an airflow in a passenger cabin of an autonomous vehicle includes providing an input indicative of an occupied passenger seat to a controller in operative communication with a power-actuated vehicle air register. On determination of the occupied passenger seat, the controller redirects an airflow from the air register towards the occupied passenger seat. The controller may display icons to allow a user to provide the input indicative of the occupied passenger seat. The controller may also display other icons to allow the user to control the power-actuated vehicle air register. At least one imager in communication with the controller and disposed adjacent to the power-actuated vehicle air register may be included to provide an image of a selected portion of a passenger's body to the controller whereby a movement of the passenger in the passenger cabin can be tracked. Systems for accomplishing the method are provided.
