ACTIVE AIR FLAP APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18119652 titled 'ACTIVE AIR FLAP APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The active air flap apparatus for a vehicle ensures strength and robustness when the air flap is closed, with support from an actuator and a stopper. It also prevents noise and improves aerodynamic performance by preventing undesired movement and vibration of the air flap even when external forces act on it.
- Prevents noise and improves aerodynamic performance
- Ensures strength and robustness when air flap is closed
- Utilizes actuator and stopper for support
- Prevents undesired movement and vibration of air flap
Potential Applications
- Automotive industry - Aerospace industry - Wind energy industry
Problems Solved
- Noise reduction - Improved aerodynamic performance - Prevention of undesired movement and vibration
Benefits
- Enhanced vehicle performance - Increased fuel efficiency - Reduced noise levels
Original Abstract Submitted
An active air flap apparatus for a vehicle, wherein when an air flap is in a closed state, the air flap may be able to secure strength or robustness with support provided by an actuator and a stopper. The active air flap apparatus may prevent noise and improve aerodynamic performance by preventing undesired movement and vibration of the air flap even when an external force and driving wind act on the air flap in a closed state of the air flap.
