VEHICLE-BUILDING DOCKING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18134688 titled 'VEHICLE-BUILDING DOCKING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
The patent application describes a vehicle-building docking system and a method of controlling the same.
- Lower weather strip coupled to a lower door frame
- Upper weather strip coupled to an upper door frame and slides upwards or downwards with the upper door frame
- Sealing tube between the lower and upper weather strips inflates to seal the gap between them
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle assembly - Industrial applications for sealing mechanisms
Problems Solved: - Ensures a tight seal between the upper and lower door frames - Prevents water, dust, and other elements from entering the vehicle
Benefits: - Improved weatherproofing of vehicles - Enhanced durability and longevity of door seals
Commercial Applications: - Automotive manufacturing companies - Industrial machinery manufacturers
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the sealing tube inflate to seal the gap between the weather strips?
The sealing tube inflates using a pneumatic or hydraulic system controlled by the vehicle-building docking system.
2. What materials are the weather strips and sealing tube made of?
The weather strips and sealing tube are typically made of rubber or other flexible materials to provide a secure seal.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle-building docking system and a method of controlling the same include a lower weather strip coupled to a lower door frame, an upper weather strip coupled to an upper door frame and configured to slide upwards or downwards together with the upper door frame with respect to the lower weather strip, and a sealing tube provided between the lower weather strip and the upper weather strip and configured to inflate after the upper weather strip slides upwards or downwards to seal the gap between the lower weather strip and the upper weather strip.
