Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 A preferred embodiment of the method of the invention is shown by way of example. Here, in the step S1 of detecting the air distribution mode set by the operator or the automatic function of the air conditioner controller, it is checked which air distribution mode is set. This is usually the setting of some or even all of the seats of the vehicle. The setting may have been made, for example, by an operator, in particular an occupant of the vehicle, via the setting means. However, it is just possible for the operator / vehicle occupant to activate the automatic function of the air conditioning controller and for the automatic function to set the air distribution mode according to the external climatic conditions and the internal target temperature. In the step S2 of determining whether the air distribution mode provides or ventilates the footwell area, by comparison with stored data, it is then determined whether the footwell area ventilation is set with the set...

Abstract

A method is provided for disabling a footwell area ventilation of individual seats of a vehicle and a device applying the method is also related. The inventive method for preventing a footwell ventilation for at least one seat of a vehicle comprises the steps of: detecting an air distribution mode set by an operator or an automatic function of a climate control system, determining whether the air distribution mode provides or effects a footwell ventilation (a single seat for several seats), whether or not a footwell ventilation is desired for at least one seat - the footwell ventilation for the at least one seat by means of at least one shut -off means when the set air distribution mode provides or effects a footwell ventilation and if a footwell ventilation for the at least one seat is not desired. The device includes a ventilation system for a motor vehicle having a number of seats and at least one shut-off device for a footwell area ventilation for at least one seat, which can be set such that the footwell area ventilation for the seat is released or shut off.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for deactivating the ventilation of the footwell area of ​​individual seats of a vehicle and to a device for carrying out the method. Background technique [0002] Methods and devices are known for ventilating a footwell area of ​​a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle. In order to provide a comfortable ventilation of the vehicle occupants, which ensures air exchange in the vehicle and optimizes thermal comfort, often in combination with heating and / or cooling of the vehicle interior, primary consideration is especially given to the interior area surrounding the seats. This also includes one or more footwell areas of the seat. In order to control ventilation, vanes are commonly used in ventilation and air conditioning systems of motor vehicles, which vanes enable variable air distribution eg in window ventilation, individual blowing, and footwell areas. [0003] EP 1 526 015 A1 discloses by way of example a vane of...
