PRESSURE VARIABLE WEATHER STRIP CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17880040 titled 'PRESSURE VARIABLE WEATHER STRIP CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for controlling a pressure variable weather strip in a vehicle to adjust the pressure of a sealing part. The method involves checking if the vehicle's opening/closing part is closed and, when the vehicle reaches a certain speed, increasing the pressure of the sealing part by supplying air to it using an air supply device.
- The method checks if the vehicle's opening/closing part is closed.
- When the vehicle reaches a preset target speed, the pressure of the sealing part is increased.
- An air supply device is used to supply air to the sealing part.
Potential Applications
- Automotive industry
- Vehicle manufacturing
- Weather stripping technology
Problems Solved
- Ensures proper sealing of the vehicle's opening/closing part
- Allows for adjustment of the pressure of the sealing part based on vehicle speed
Benefits
- Improved sealing performance of the vehicle
- Enhanced control over the pressure of the sealing part
- Potential for increased energy efficiency by optimizing the pressure of the sealing part
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of controlling a pressure variable weather strip for varying a pressure of a sealing part of the weather strip is provided. The method includes a closing checking step of, by a controller, checking whether an opening/closing part of a vehicle is in a closed state. When a vehicle speed reaches a preset target vehicle speed to increase the pressure of the sealing part in a state in which the opening/closing part is closed, the controller operates an air supply device to supply air to the sealing part.
