VEHICLE-BUILDING DOCKING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240198773 titled 'VEHICLE-BUILDING DOCKING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
The abstract describes a vehicle-building docking system and a method of controlling the same, which includes a lower weather strip coupled to a lower door frame, an upper weather strip coupled to an upper door frame that can slide upwards or downwards with respect to the lower weather strip, and a sealing tube between the lower and upper weather strips that inflates to seal the gap between them.
- Lower weather strip coupled to lower door frame
- Upper weather strip coupled to upper door frame, slides up or down with respect to lower weather strip
- Sealing tube inflates to seal the gap between lower and upper weather strips
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle assembly - Aerospace industry for spacecraft docking systems
Problems Solved: - Ensures a tight seal between upper and lower door frames - Facilitates smooth docking and undocking of vehicles
Benefits: - Improved weatherproofing and insulation - Enhanced security and stability during docking procedures
Commercial Applications: - Vehicle manufacturing companies - Space agencies and aerospace companies
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 controlled air pressure system.
2. What materials are typically used for the weather strips in this system?
The weather strips are usually made of durable rubber or silicone materials.
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.
