Description

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a venting arrangement for the selective opening and closing of an enclosed space. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a vehicle.

[0002] While motor vehicles are in operating / driving mode, the interior remains closed by a hatch, similar to a door. The hatch incorporates one or more seals to create a tight seal against the vehicle body, preventing dirt, water, and noise from entering the interior. The seal also prevents air from escaping once the hatch is closed, thus maintaining air pressure inside the vehicle.

[0003] To reduce the build-up of air pressure inside the vehicle when closing the hatch, some vehicles are equipped with passive pressure relief valves. These valves open in response to increased air pressure, allowing air to escape and making it easier to close the hatch. They often incorporate a flexible baffle, such as rubber, which opens as the pressure rises during hatch closing. Once the internal pressure equals the external ambient pressure, these valves are designed to close automatically.

[0004] DE 10 2015 222803 A1 describes a device for generating movement of a vehicle component (40), which includes an actuator element that is operationally connected to the component and generates translational and / or rotational movement. DE 10 2015 222803 A1 further describes a vehicle with a device for providing movement of a vehicle component. However, the device system is complex and not cost-effective.

[0005] WO 2013 185012 A1 describes a ventilation arrangement for a vehicle, comprising one or more flexible membranes to direct air at the request of a vehicle occupant. The membranes can be used individually, assembled with other parts of the ventilation arrangement, or formed as a single-piece frame and then installed in the ventilation arrangement. The flexible membranes can form partitions within the ventilation arrangement to direct air into the vehicle interior. The flexible membranes can also be used as seals or peripheral panels between internal ventilation components and peripheral elements, such as a ventilation plenum.

[0006] There is a need to develop a cost-effective and safe system to reduce the build-up of air pressure in the vehicle.

[0007] Against this background, the purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an improved venting system. In particular, it is to develop a cost-effective venting system for discharging the air pressure that builds up inside the vehicle.

In one embodiment, the first module 100 can comprise a first housing 102, a first deformation element 104, a pair of first levers 106, a fastening mechanism 108, and at least one first guide wall 110. The fastening mechanism 108 can be configured to extend through two opposite sides 102a of the first housing 102 to connect with the first pair of levers 106. The first pair of levers can be attached to the first housing 102 by means of the fastening mechanism 108, thereby providing a pivoting mechanism for the first pair of levers 106 about the fastening mechanism 108. The first pair of levers 106 can have a first end 106a and a second end 106b. The first end 106a can be configured to have a slot 112.

[0038] In one embodiment, the first housing 102 can be configured to have an engagement side 102d that is attached to the at least one first guide wall 110. In one embodiment, the engagement side 102d and the at least one first guide wall 110 can be configured with any number of edges. Furthermore, at least one edge 110a of the at least one first guide wall 110 can be freely attached to the first housing. In one embodiment, the at least one edge 110a of the at least one first guide wall 110 can be freely attached to at least one of the opposite sides 102d of the first housing 102 to allow the at least one first guide wall 110 to be in an open position.

[0039] In one embodiment, the engagement side 102d of the first housing 102, which is freely attached to the at least one edge 110a of the at least one first guide wall 110, is provided with an opening 118 on at least one side 102b of the first housing 102. The opening 118 can have any shape, e.g., a convex shape, a triangular shape, a square shape, or a trapezoidal shape.

[0040] The first deformation element 104 can have a raised projection 104a and two free ends 104b (as in Fig. (1E shown). The first housing 102 can be adapted to have a guide area 114 on two opposite sides 102a in which the first deformation element 104 can be placed. The two free ends 104b of the first deformation element 104 can be pivotally connected to the first end 106a of the first lever pair 106 through the slot 112 to allow a pivoting movement of the first deformation element 104 and to guide the two free ends 104b in the guide area 114, thereby providing a linear movement of the first deformation element 104 in the guide area 114. The raised projection 104a of the first deformation element 104 can be configured to move the at least one first guide wall 110 between the open and closed positions of the first module 100.

[0041] Fig. 1B and Fig. Figure 1C illustrates the operation of the first lever pair 106 when coupled with the first deformation element 104 in the first module 100, as in ( Fig. 1A). In the closed position, the two free ends 104b of the first deformation element 104, which are coupled to the first end 106a of the first lever pair 106, can remain in a stationary position at the lower end of the guide area 114. In the open position, the first lever pair 106 can rotate about the fastening mechanism 108, and the first end 106a of the first lever pair 106 is configured to move through the guide area 114 into the upper position, as shown in ( Fig. 1C). This allows the two free ends 104b of the first deformation element 104 to move towards an upper end of the guide area 114, and the raised projection 104a can emerge from the first housing 102.

[0042] Fig. 1D and Fig. Figure 1E illustrates various components of the first module 100. The first module 100 can have the first housing 102 and a guide area 114 on at least one side 102a for the first deformation element 104. The guide area 114 can further be adapted to have a locking area 116 that prevents the first deformation element 104 from sliding downwards in an open position by locking the two free ends 104b of the first deformation element 104. Fig. Figure 1F) illustrates the open position of the at least one first guide wall 110, which is caused by the upward movement of the first deformation element 104.

[0043] Fig. 2A illustrates a second module 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As in ( Fig. As shown in Figure 2A), the second module 200 can comprise a second housing 202 with an inner guide area 204, a second deformation element 206 configured in the inner guide area 204, at least one second guide wall 208 that can be attached to an engagement side 202b of the second housing 202, and a second pair of levers 210 with a first end 210a and a second end 210b. The second housing 202 can further be adapted to have an outer guide area 212 on two opposite sides 202a of the second housing 202. The second pair of levers 210 can be inserted into the outer guide area 212 to move along the outer guide area 212.

[0044] In one embodiment, the second housing 202 and the at least one second guide wall 208 can be configured with the same number of edges, and at least one edge 208a of the at least one second guide wall 208 can be freely connected to at least one edge of the engagement side 202b of the second housing 202 to allow the open position of the at least one second guide wall 208.

[0045] The second deformation element 206 can be configured to have at least two opposite ends 206a and at least one third end 206b. The at least two opposite ends 206a can be attached to the first end 210a of the second pair of levers 210 on the opposite sides 202a of the second housing 202, and the at least one third end 206b can be configured to be fixed to at least one edge 208a of the at least one second guide wall 208.

[0046] During operation, the second pair of levers 210 can move vertically in the outer guide area 212 to enable the movement of the second deformation element 206 in the inner guide area 204.

[0047] As in Fig. 2A and Fig. As shown in Figure 2C, the second module 200 is shown in an open position. The second pair of levers 210 can slide downwards along the outer guide area 212, thereby bringing the second deformation element 206 into a downward position and consequently deforming the at least one second guide wall 208 into a second open shape.

[0048] Fig. Figure 2B shows a side view of the second module 200 in a closed position. The second pair of levers 210 can be positioned in an upper position within an outer guide area 212. The at least one second guide wall 208 above the second housing 202 can be in a stationary, closed position.

[0049] Fig. Figure 3A shows a set of modules 300 in a closed position according to one aspect of the present disclosure. The set of modules 300 can comprise the first module 100 and the second module 200, which are functionally connected to each other via at least one contact side 102c, 202c.

[0050] In one embodiment, the at least one contact side 102c of the first housing 102 and the at least one contact side 202c of the second housing 202 are configured to be connected to a set of modules 300.

[0051] In one embodiment, the second end 106b of the first pair of levers 106 and the second end 210b of the second pair of levers 210 can be pivotally connected by a linking mechanism X. The linking mechanism X can be in the upper position in the closed position of the set of modules 300.

[0052] Fig. 3B and Fig. Figure 3C shows the set of modules 300 in an open position. In the open position, the connection mechanism X is configured so that it is actuated by the actuating mechanism (shown in ( Fig. 3D), ( Fig. 3E)) is moved into the downward position. The downward movement of the connecting mechanism X can pivotally rotate the first end 106a of the first pair of levers 106. The first deformation element 104 attached to the first end 106a of the first pair of levers 106 can push the at least one first guide wall 110 upwards in an upper position, thereby deforming the at least one first guide wall 110 into a first open shape. Furthermore, the downward movement of the connecting mechanism X can pull the second end 210b of the second pair of levers 210 in a downward position along the outer guide area 212. The second pair of levers 210 can also pull the second deformation element 206 downwards in the inner guide area 204, thereby deforming the at least one second guide wall 208 into a second open shape, as shown in Fig. 3A shown.

[0053] Fig. Figure 3C shows an actuating mechanism 302 attached to a set of modules 300 with an aspect of the present disclosure.

[0054] In one embodiment, the actuating mechanism 302 is attached to the second end 210b of the second pair of levers 210 of the second module 200. The actuating mechanism 302 can pull the second end 210b of the second pair of levers 210 downwards, thereby pulling the second pair of levers 210 downwards through the outer guide area 212. The second pair of levers 210 can also pull the second deformation element 206 downwards in the inner guide area 204, thereby deforming the at least one second guide wall 208 into a second open shape.

[0055] The downward movement of the second pair of levers 210 can enable a pivoting movement of the first pair of levers 106 due to the coupling of the second end 106b of the first pair of levers 106 and the second end 210b of the second pair of levers 210 by the connecting mechanism X. The pivoting movement of the first pair of levers 106 can push the first deformation element 104 upwards along the guide area 114 and enable the linear movement of the first deformation element 104. The linear movement of the first deformation element 104 can tend to deform the at least one first guide wall 110 into a first open shape.

[0056] The actuating mechanism in the set of modules 300 can be obtained by attaching the mechanism specifically to the second pair of levers 210 of the second module 202, as shown in the Fig. 3D and Fig. 3E is shown.

[0057] In one embodiment, the actuating mechanism may comprise at least one of the following elements: a Bowden cable, a piezoelectric element, a hydraulic element, a pneumatic element, an electronic element, a magnetic element, or a motor gear element.

[0058] In one embodiment, the at least one guide wall 110, 208 can be deformed into shapes such as triangles, squares and / or trapezoids. It should be noted that other shapes can be achieved depending on the requirements.

[0059] In one embodiment, the at least one guide wall 110, 208 can be made of an alloy, an elastic material, a textile, and / or a woven fabric with shape memory. Suitable shape memory alloy materials include, without limitation, nickel-titanium-based alloys, indium-titanium-based alloys, nickel-aluminum-based alloys, nickel-gallium-based alloys, copper-based alloys (e.g., copper-zinc alloys, copper-aluminum alloys, copper-gold and copper-tin alloys), gold-cadmium-based alloys, silver-cadmium-based alloys, indium-cadmium-based alloys, manganese-copper-based alloys, iron-platinum-based alloys, iron-palladium-based alloys, and the like. The alloys can be binary, ternary, or of higher order, as long as the alloy composition exhibits a shape memory effect, e.g.,a change in shape orientation, damping capacity, and the like.

[0060] Fig. Figure 4A shows a venting arrangement 400 according to one aspect of the present disclosure. The venting arrangement 400 can comprise a plurality of module sets 300 configured to be mounted in a specific arrangement. Each set of modules 300 can comprise the first module 100 and the second module 200 configured to be operationally connected to the connection mechanism X. The connection mechanism X of each module set can be actuated by at least one actuating mechanism to selectively open the at least one guide wall 110, 208 of each at least one module set 300. In the closed position, the connection mechanism X of the second end 106b of the first module 100 and the second end 210b of the second module 200 for each of the at least one module set 300 can be in the upper position, as shown in Figure 4A. Fig. 4A shown.

[0061] With reference to Fig. Figure 4B shows the venting arrangement 400 in a specific arrangement of at least one set of modules 300 in an open position. The connecting mechanism X is engaged by applying the actuating mechanism to the second end 210b of the second pair of levers 210. The downward movement of the connecting mechanism X can pivotally rotate the first end 106a of the first pair of levers 106 of the first module 100. The first deformation element 104, which is attached to the first ends 106a of the first pair of levers 106, can press the at least one first guide wall 110 into an upright position, thereby deforming the at least one first guide wall 110 into a first open shape. Furthermore, the downward movement of the second end 210b of the second pair of levers 210 can pull the second deformation element 206 downwards into the inner guide area 204, thereby deforming the at least one second guide wall 208 into a second open shape.

[0062] In one embodiment, the venting arrangement 400 can be configured such that the at least one set of modules 300 is arranged at an angle to obtain different airflow directions, as shown in Fig. 4C shown.

[0063] With reference to Fig. Figure 5A shows a first module 500 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The first module 500 can comprise a first housing 502, a first deformation element 504, and an inner recess 506 for receiving the first deformation element 504 in a closed position. The first deformation element 504 can have a raised section 504a and two free ends 504b. The first deformation element 504 can be coupled to the first housing 502 by attaching the two free ends 504b of the first deformation element to the top of the first housing 502 with fixed ball bearings 508. In the closed position, the first deformation element 504 can tilt into the inner recess 506 due to the fixed ball bearings 508.

[0064] Fig. 5B and Fig. Figure 5C shows the side view of the first module 500 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The first module 500 with the first deformation element 504 can be configured to raise itself to different positions during operation, depending on the requirements.

[0065] In one embodiment, the first deformation element 504 can be raised by an actuating mechanism which may include at least a Bowden cable, a hydraulic, pneumatic and / or electronic control.

[0066] In one embodiment, at least one side of the first housing 502 can be configured to have an opening 510. The opening 510 can be configured to have shapes such as an arc, a triangle, a square, or a trapezoid.

[0067] With reference to Fig. 6A, Fig. 6B and Fig. Figure 6C shows various types of fins or ribs with an aspect of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, a first deformation element 104 can be configured with fins. The fins can be straight fins 104c, left-facing fins 104d, and right-facing fins 104e.
