DUCT BODY AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18449076 titled 'DUCT BODY AND VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a duct body for supplying cooling air to a heating element, with an overlapping region where the upstream duct and downstream duct overlap.

  • The duct body has an overlapping region where the upstream duct and downstream duct overlap.
  • In the overlapping region, the upstream duct is outside the downstream duct via an air layer.
  • The downstream duct has a convex portion on the upstream duct side, while the upstream duct has a concave portion on the downstream duct side.
  • The overlapping region has a fitting structure where the convex portion fits with the concave portion, and a heat insulating structure with an air layer on the upstream side of the fitting structure.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • HVAC systems
  • Electronics cooling systems
  • Industrial heating and cooling systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient cooling of heating elements
  • Heat insulation to prevent overheating
  • Improved airflow distribution

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced cooling efficiency
  • Reduced risk of overheating
  • Improved performance and longevity of heating elements


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure provides a duct body for supplying cooling air toward a heating element, wherein the duct body has an upstream duct and a downstream duct, the duct body has an overlapping region in which the upstream duct and the downstream duct overlap, and in the overlapping region, the upstream duct is disposed outside the downstream duct via an air layer, the downstream duct has a convex portion on a surface on the upstream duct side, the upstream duct has a concave portion on a surface on the downstream duct side, and the overlapping region has a fitting structure in which at least a part of the convex portion fits with the concave portion, and has a heat insulating structure having the air layer on an upstream side of the fitting structure.
