VEHICLE ASSEMBLY FOR SENSOR CLEANING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240198973 titled 'VEHICLE ASSEMBLY FOR SENSOR CLEANING
The abstract describes a vehicle assembly consisting of a housing, a manifold, a plurality of valves, and a cover. The housing includes a panel with an integral channel, where the manifold is placed. The manifold has multiple outlets, with valves controlling flow to these outlets. The cover is fixed to the panel and secures the valves in place.
- Housing with integral channel for manifold placement
- Manifold with multiple outlets
- Valves for flow control
- Cover to secure valves in place
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle assembly - Industrial machinery for fluid control systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient flow control in a compact space - Secure valve placement within the assembly
Benefits: - Streamlined assembly process - Enhanced durability and reliability of the system
Commercial Applications: - Automotive manufacturing - Industrial equipment production
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the cover contribute to the overall functionality of the assembly?
The cover secures the valves in place, ensuring proper flow control and system operation.
2. What advantages does the integral channel in the panel provide for the manifold placement?
The integral channel simplifies the installation process and ensures a secure fit for the manifold.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle assembly includes a housing, a manifold, a plurality of valves, and a cover. the housing includes a panel, and the panel includes a channel integral to the panel. the manifold is disposed in the channel, and the manifold includes a plurality of outlets. the valves are attached to the manifold, and the valves selectively control flow to the outlets. the cover extends over the manifold, the cover is fixed to the panel, and the cover holds the valves in place.
