Description

1 Specifications A modular cassette integrated into the wheel well of vehicles. SYSTEM Technical Area 5 The invention relates to wheel arch and fender protection systems for vehicles. The invention is specifically a modular cassette system integrated into the wheel well of vehicles. It is related to. State of the Art Today, vehicle wheel arch design and fender protection systems... (Fender Liners) cannot provide permanent solutions to the following technical problems: 1. Water Spray (Gischtwolke) and Visibility Problems: Traditional range hoods, with wheels Instead of absorbing the rainwater that is blown away by the wind, this water is carried away by air currents 15 turbulently, outside the vehicle, other drivers and the vehicle's own sensors This causes scattering (of Lidar, Camera) onto the surface. This is especially true in autonomous driving. This leads to systems becoming blind and jeopardizing traffic safety. 2. Inadequate Emission and Dust Control: In current systems, emissions and dust come from brake discs and 20 Micro-particles (PM10 and PM2.5) resulting from tire wear directly Tire and brake dust, which came to the forefront with Euro 7 standards, are released into the atmosphere. an active chemical that will capture their emissions and neutralize them while they are suspended in the air, or A mechanical treatment unit is not included in the current designs. 3. Uncontrolled Aerodynamic Drag: Wheel arches, the highest point of the vehicle It is one of the areas that causes air resistance. Traditional designs have avoided this area. It attempts to passively release the high-pressure air. However, this airflow a "harvesting" that will convert it into energy or climate control support The absence of this mechanism leads to a loss of range in electric vehicles. 30 4. Lack of Thermal Management and Heat Recovery: Traditional systems, the tires to prevent overheating or freezing in winter conditions, as well as the battery systems solving the air conditioning needs with independent and energy-consuming units 2 It works by transferring kinetic and thermal energy from the wheel well to battery heat plates or an integrated bypass architecture that directs signals to sensor cleaning lines It is not available. 5. Acoustic Pollution and Whistling Noise: At high speeds, the airflow inside the range hood... The "whistling" sound caused by hitting sharp edges and aerodynamic noise in the cabin It reduces comfort. Current plastic protectors use bionic damping (owl wing) It lacks techniques such as (etc.). Also included in the current technical specifications is US 2024 / 0261797 A1, “Vehicle Wheel Dust 10 In the patent titled "System for Collecting Particles (Ford Motor Company)", directing dust particles formed in the wheel well to a collection system. The system is described as a channel with a suction opening and a collection point connected to this channel. It contains a reservoir. A liquid spray prevents particles from mixing with the air. The system is used. 15 Comparison and Disadvantages of Our Invention; This patent describes the control of particles. It primarily uses a mechanical collection method and a passive wetting process. However, our invention actively weighs down the particles, separating them from the air. Our invention presents advanced methods such as "Helix Tube" and lignin agglomeration. It not only collects pollutants, but also uses a High Frequency Nozzle to remove 20 By spraying atomized lignin, it chemically binds and neutralizes them. It brings about. Furthermore, while the system in this patent appears to offer a limited approach, Our invention combines particle control and thermal management (battery) within the same modular cassette. Heat Plate, CNT Heating Foils) and aerodynamic optimization (Asymmetric Grater) Its texture offers multiple functions together, such as ZAP NACA Input, making this one-way 25 It goes beyond the approach. Patent number US 11,512,225 B2, titled “Process and Composition for Dust Control,” is open. Lignin is used to suppress dust formation in industrial environments such as quarry mining. It describes the use of a substrate by mixing it with a solvent. The composition refers to a substrate (for example, a road 30 It is applied to the exposed surface (or pile of ore) and the dust is dispersed into the air. physical barriers. Comparison with and Disadvantages of Our Invention: This previous technique extracted lignin in a static state. It is used as a surface application and its effect is largely passive and wide-area. However 3 Our invention targets micro-particles of lignin in a dynamic airflow. It uses lignin's property to agglomerate, such as in wheel hubs. Our invention utilizes this property of lignin to form agglomerates. In a highly turbulent environment, by atomizing with a "High Frequency Nozzle" and "Helix It is used effectively by bringing the particles together within its "pipe". Furthermore, this patent... While it does not provide environmental disposal of waste lignin, our invention "RFID Lignin 5" The "Cartridge" system monitors the condition of the lignin used, ensuring a modular and sustainable solution. It offers usage. This patent, US 5,326,135A, titled "Vehicle Wheel Water Splash Reducer," concerns vehicles. 10 formed by water and mud splashing from the tire and hitting the tire wheel arch. It uses a mechanical deflector element to reduce splashing and spray. This The device is mounted in the wheel well and directs the water directly to the ground. Comparison with Our Invention and its Disadvantages: This previous technique solved the water spray problem. It attempts to solve the problem with only a mechanical barrier and guidance. This approach, It can lose its effectiveness, especially at high speeds, and the water can become turbulent and atomized. 15 It cannot prevent the occurrence (water spray effect). Our invention, however, solves this problem in a more sophisticated way. It solves it in one way: to prevent the water thrown from the wheel from entering the turbulence. It uses a specially designed "Sensor Bypass". This allows our invention to... using the principles of fluid dynamics, in a way that a mechanical deflector cannot. It dampens the spray effect by preventing water atomization. 20 Purpose of the Invention The invention aims to eliminate the disadvantages inherent in the prior art. One purpose is to control the uncontrolled airflow that occurs in the wheel wells of vehicles, using a modular 25 By disciplining it within the cassette architecture (SAGA); reducing environmental pollution, driving Its aim is to increase safety and optimize energy efficiency. Another aim of the invention is active emission control and particulate capture: tires and brakes. microparticles (PM) originating from the systems are contained within the Lignin 30 helix tube. By making it heavier through agglomeration, it separates it from the air and meets Euro 7 standards. Within this scope, it aims to minimize environmental pollution. 4 Another purpose of the invention is visibility safety and sensor protection: wheel spin. by preventing the water from entering turbulent conditions, it creates a "water spray" (gischtwolke) effect. dampen; autonomous driving sensors (lidar, camera, etc.) via sensor bypass. (ir) ensuring it remains continuously clean and operational. Another aim of the invention is aerodynamic harvesting and efficiency: high clearance in the wheel well. By harvesting compressed air through the ZAP NACA inlet and asymmetrical grating texture, this flow to use in in-vehicle thermal management and reduce overall air resistance (drag) It provides an increase in range. Another aim of the invention is integrated thermal management: thermal changes on the tire surface. By tracking with an infrared sensor, the obtained air is transferred to the battery heating plate or CNT. By directing heat towards the heating foils, it optimizes battery and tire life. Another aim of the invention is acoustic comfort and noise damping: 15 where the flow is discharged By using owl wing cutouts at points and fire-resistant foam insulation, high physically eliminate aerodynamic noise (whistling sound) generated at high speeds It is to remove it. Another purpose of the invention is intelligent monitoring and maintenance: the lignin cartridge and 20 within the system. By enabling digital monitoring of the filtering process via SAGA Blackbox, It provides the user with real-time data streaming and maintenance alerts.

The invention, whose general architecture is presented in Figure 1, is integrated into the wheel well of vehicles. It is a modular cassette system. The operation and components of the system are technically detailed below. It is presented in detail: 1. Outer Shell & Aerodynamic Harvesting: The outermost layer of the system facing the wheel features an Asymmetric Grater Texture (Asymmetric 25). Grater Texture) (10) is found. This texture (10) is trapped inside the wheel well and actively creates high-pressure air that generates resistance (drag) against the vehicle's progress It is designed for "harvesting". On the grater texture (10) Venturi Slots (12) reduce this irregular airflow and the wheel. It captures and accelerates the swirling water vapor and channels it into the system. This 30 Thanks to this mechanism, passive resistance, which normally increases the drag coefficient (Cd), The system is converted into a useful flow by using an inlet vacuum, resulting in "Vortex Harvesting". Harvesting is carried out. 7 2. Air Intake & Protection Unit: Main airflow and harvested wind, an aerodynamic ZAP NACA Intake (20) It is vacuumed through. The Intelligent Leakproof Cover (20) located at the inlet opening Sealing Shutter) (21), depending on the sensor (105) data, snow or heavy mud It mechanically prevents external factors that could disrupt system integrity. 5 3. Acceleration & Cyclonic Flow: Passing through the inlet (20) air and water vapor mixture, Rotary Guide Funnel (22) It enters the funnel. This funnel gives the flow a circular (cyclonic) acceleration, creating the Helix Tube. It creates a "tornado" effect in accordance with the structure of the (Helical Tube) (60). Flow, Variable 10 The Venturi Throat (Variable Venturi Throat) (15) narrows at the point of maximum speed. It reaches the water and creates a pressure difference, causing the water droplets to atomize. 4. Agglomeration and Chemical Treatment: High-Frequency Nozzle (71) 15 on the accelerating flow through which atomized lignin is fed from the RFID Lignin Cartridge (73) unit. is sprayed. The helical path inside the Helical Tube Reactor (60) is sprayed with air. extending the residence time (Verweilzeit) allows the particles to fully interact with lignin. It allows the water to enter, become heavier and separate, and the water vapor to be controlled. 5. Thermal, Acoustic & Bypass Management: Cassette structure, Fireproof Foam (50) for thermal efficiency and active heating It is equipped with CNT Heater Foils (40) which provide treated The clean flow is divided into two main lines: Sensor Cleaning Bypass (81): Clean air "Optical transparency" 25 by blowing into the Infrared Tire Sensor (105) and Lidar / Camera assemblies. It provides. Battery Thermal Bypass (82) shown in Figure 2: Air, Battery Heat It provides energy efficiency by directing it to the Battery Heat Exchange Plate (84). 6. Water Spray Suppression & Discharge: The end of the flow During the stage, the Expanding L-Bend (90) separates particles with a difference in inertia of 30 It separates. Water vapor entering the system during heavy rainfall is detected by the Air Scanner at the outlet terminal. Teeth (Shark Teeth Flow Strippers) (32) and Drainage Grooves (33) It is disciplined as it passes through. This process is an uncontrolled "water cloud" (Gischtwolke). It physically suppresses its formation (Gischtwolke Suppression) and its flow parallel to the ground. 8 by giving it a heavy and laminar form (Laminar Exhaust Re-alignment) Main Air Outlet It discharges via terminal (80). The Owl Wing Sections (31) at the exit are It dampens aerodynamic noise. 7. Central Control Unit (CCU) as shown in Figure 2: All dynamic processes, 5 by SAGA Blackbox (SAGA Control Hub) (100) connected to the vehicle data line It is managed in real time.
