1 TARIFF AN AIR DUCT CONNECTION WITH A CONNECTING ELBOW Technical Area 5 This invention relates to the connection between the vehicle's air conditioning unit and the air vent. using air from the air conditioning unit to reach the desired areas This relates to an air duct connection that has a pipe connection elbow. Previous Technique Vehicle climate control units provide heating, cooling, and ventilation for the cabin. It is used to deliver air to the desired area in the cabin. located between the air conditioning unit and the ventilation vent, and marked with 15 Air channels containing the connecting elbow are used. To the connecting elbow... Air is delivered to the desired areas via an additional pipe that is connected. The connection of the elbow to the additional pipe is made via connecting elements. Example as clamps to a hard plastic air duct made of soft material The manufactured pipe connection is made. However, this type of connection takes time. 20 These methods increase both space and part costs. Therefore, nowadays... enabling connections to be made without the need for additional parts. A solution is needed. Chinese patent no. CN217876145U, which is included in the known state of the art, 25 The document describes a mechanism for an indoor unit of an air conditioner. The invention is a The air conditioner provides an indoor unit. The air conditioner indoor unit includes a machine housing. and has a clean air duct mounting opening on the side surface of the machine body. It has been designed and the clean air module is integrated into the machine body; clean The air duct is fitted into the clean air duct mounting opening in a snap-on manner. and at the end of the fresh air duct facing the outside, there is a fresh air inlet. 2 It is located; there is a rain cover at the fresh air intake, An air vent has been created in the rain cover, the rain cover is a It includes a connecting pipe and a head section, the connecting pipe providing fresh air. It is attached to the inside of the pipe with a screw connection; a protective cover for the air inlet. The part is installed and the protective part has ventilation holes 5 It is designed; a sound barrier located in the protective part and positioned at the air intake. It has a sound reduction module, and this sound reduction module is made of an air-permeable material. Made of the same material; ventilation holes for clean air, sound reduction. The fresh air flows into the room through the module, the fresh air pipe, and the fresh air module. According to the air conditioner's indoor unit, the sound level placed in the air intake of the rain cover is 10. reduction module, the formation that occurs when clean air is blown into the clean air pipe. to reduce noise and to the clean air pipe in strong wind conditions It reduces the amount of backflow. Brief Description of the Invention 15 The purpose of this invention is to create a system that includes surfaces located at a certain distance from each other. Secure connection of additional pipe connections at the connecting elbow via protrusions the way it is done and the additional pipes becoming dislodged by holding onto the protrusions It is to create an air duct that is blocked. 20 Detailed Description of the Invention The purpose of this invention was achieved through a "Connecting Elbow" design. The "Air Duct Connection" is shown in the attached figures; these figures are: 25 Figure 1. View of an air duct connection, which is the subject of the invention. Figure 2. Cross-sectional view of an air duct connection, which is the subject of the invention. Figure 1. Front view of the elbow in an air duct connection, which is the subject of the invention. 3 The parts shown in the figures are individually numbered, and these numbers... The equivalents are given below: 1. Air duct connection Channel 2, Channel 5 3. Elbow 4. First form 5. Second form 6. Additional pipe By positioning it between the vehicle's climate control unit and the air vent. enabling the air coming from the air conditioning unit to be delivered to the desired areas. The subject of the invention is an air duct connection (1), -the tube that extends between the vehicle's air conditioning unit and the air vent. at least one channel (2) which is hollow and cylindrical, through which it passes, 15 -the air that is to be supplied into the vehicle by being located on the channel (2) at one end almost empty channel (2) that directs into the vehicle at least one elbow in the shape of a cylinder (3), -the outer surface of the elbow (3), located at the other end of the elbow (3) that is not connected to the canal (2). at least one first form (4) that extends and protrudes circularly on it, 20 -located on the first form (4) with the channel (2) on the elbow (3), outside the elbow (3). It lies circularly on the surface and is more than the projection of the first form (4) at least one second form that makes a high protrusion (5) and -by passing it over the outer surface of the elbow (3) into the first form (4) and the second form (5) It includes at least one additional pipe (6) that connects to the canal (2) by contact. 25 The subject of the invention is through a channel (2) located in an air duct connection (1) It is in the form of a tube that allows air to pass through and is connected to the vehicle at one end. It connects to the air conditioning unit at one end and to the ventilation vent at the other. It has an elbow (3) on it. Channel (2) vehicle air conditioning 30 The air transmitted from the unit is directed to the desired area in the vehicle cabin via the elbow (3). 4 It directs. Channel (2) is made of hard plastic (PA- in the preferred application. It is manufactured from polyamide. The subject of the invention is a pipe-shaped elbow (3) located in an air duct connection (1). and the air passing through the channel (2) flows into the vehicle cabin 5 It ensures its orientation. The first form (4) and the second form (3) are on the elbow surface. protruding from the surface with different elevations relative to each other, in form (5) There are two projections. The first form (4) and the second form (5) are on the elbow (3). It is positioned to completely encircle the outer surface. The first form (4) and the second form (5) should be placed at a certain distance from each other. They are located parallel to each other on the elbow (3) surface. The subject of the invention is the first form (4) elbow located in an air duct connection (1). (3) channel (2) is located at the non-existent end. First form (4) second form It protrudes with a less height than (5). Second form (5) elbow (3) 15 It is located between the first form (4) and channel (2) connection. Second Form (5) makes a higher protrusion than the first form (4). Thus The additional pipe (6) attached to the elbow (3) via the first form (4) and the second form (5) It is prevented from coming loose and does not require any additional fastening parts such as clamps. The need is eliminated. In the preferred application of the invention, the elbow (3) 20 The distance between the first form (4) and the second form (5) on (a), the first form (4) is greater than (b) its width. The subject of the invention is an additional pipe (6) located in a ventilation duct connection (1) a 25 made of more flexible material (Polyethylene-PE) than channel (2). It is a hose. The extension pipe (6) extends from one end to the vehicle cabin and from the other end to... It is fixed to the elbow (3). The first form (4) and on the inner surface of the additional pipe (6) There is a ribbed surface which will provide fixation by passing into the second form (5). This prevents the additional pipe (6) from protruding as an extra. 5 The subject of the invention is a ventilation duct connection (1) made of hard plastic. The connection of the channel (2) with the softer, more flexible additional pipe (6) compared to the channel is any mechanically without the need for an additional connecting piece This is achieved by saving on material and labor costs. This connection is made using 5 different sizes on the elbow (3). The first form (4) and the second form (5) are included. Additional pipe (6) elbow (3) It is put on and fixed at the elbow (3) via the first and second forms (4,5). It is positioned as shown. Around these fundamental concepts, the invention is titled "An Aircraft with a Connecting Elbow 10". It is possible to develop a wide variety of applications related to "Channel Connection", The invention cannot be limited to the examples described here, but mainly to the claims. as stated.
