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 stopper. It also prevents noise and improves aerodynamic performance by preventing unwanted movement and vibration of the air flap even under external forces and driving wind.
- Prevents noise and improves aerodynamic performance
- Ensures strength and robustness when air flap is closed
- Supported by actuator and stopper to prevent undesired movement and vibration
---
- Potential Applications
- Automotive industry for vehicles with active air flaps
- Aerospace industry for aircraft with similar air flap systems
- Problems Solved
- Noise reduction in vehicles
- Improved aerodynamic performance
- Prevention of unwanted movement and vibration in air flaps
- Benefits
- Enhanced vehicle performance
- Reduced noise levels
- Increased efficiency in aerodynamics
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.
