VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240336106 titled 'VEHICLE

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

• The vehicle has an air outlet port on a first trim panel attached to the vehicle interior.
• It includes an air conditioner that generates the air, a pipe connected to the air conditioner to divide the air into multiple flows.
• A blower fan is attached to each end of the pipe to blow the divided 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.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for improved air conditioning systems in vehicles.

Problems Solved: - Simplifies the structure of the vehicle's air conditioning system. - Allows for selective blowing of air to desired locations in the vehicle interior.

Benefits: - Enhanced air conditioning efficiency. - Easy maintenance and replacement of blower fans. - Improved air distribution within the vehicle.

Commercial Applications: - Automotive manufacturers can integrate this technology into their vehicles to enhance air conditioning performance and user experience.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this innovation improve the overall air conditioning experience in vehicles? 2. What are the potential cost implications for implementing this technology in vehicles?

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.
