VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18627444 titled 'VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a vehicle with a simplified structure that can blow air for air conditioning selectively to the vehicle interior from a desired location.

  • Air for air conditioning is blown from an air outlet port of a first trim panel attached to the vehicle interior.
  • The vehicle includes an air conditioner that generates the air, a pipe connected to the air conditioner to divide the air into multiple flows, and a blower fan attached to each end of the pipe to blow the air to the air outlet port.
  • A cut-off member blocks the air flow in the portion where the blower fan is removed when detached from the pipe.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Selective blowing of air for air conditioning from a desired location in the vehicle interior.
  • Simplified structure with a first trim panel serving as the air outlet port.
  • Efficient division of air flows using a pipe connected to the air conditioner.
  • Removable blower fans for easy maintenance and replacement.
  • Cut-off member to block air flow when blower fan is detached.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and buses, to provide efficient and targeted air conditioning to the occupants.

Problems Solved:

  • Simplifies the structure of the vehicle air conditioning system.
  • Allows for selective blowing of air to specific areas in the vehicle interior.
  • Facilitates maintenance and replacement of blower fans.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced comfort for vehicle occupants with targeted air conditioning.
  • Improved maintenance and replacement procedures for the air conditioning system.
  • Streamlined design for the vehicle interior.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include automotive manufacturers incorporating this technology into their vehicles to enhance the air conditioning experience for customers, leading to increased satisfaction and brand loyalty.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to vehicle air conditioning systems, selective air blowing mechanisms, and removable blower fans to understand the existing technology landscape in this field.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in vehicle air conditioning technology, innovations in blower fan design, and improvements in air flow control systems for vehicles.

Questions about Vehicle Air Conditioning Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of air conditioning in vehicles? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with the maintenance and replacement of blower fans in this system?


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a vehicle with a simpler structure capable of selectively blowing air for air conditioning to the vehicle interior from a desired location. The vehicle is a vehicle in which air for air conditioning is blown from an air outlet port of a first trim panel attached to a vehicle interior. The vehicle includes an air conditioner that generates the air; a pipe connected to the air conditioner and configured to divide the air discharged from the air conditioner into a plurality of flows; a blower fan removably attached to each end portion of the pipe and configured to blow the divided air to the air outlet port; and a cut-off member that blocks flow of the air in a portion where the blower fan is removed in a state where the blower fan is being detached from the pipe.
