Air flap structure for a motor vehicle air-conditioning module

An air flap structure for a motor vehicle air-conditioning module, comprising:

• at least two air outlet openings, each having an assigned closure flap configured to close and open the assigned air outlet opening;
• a shaft on which the closure flaps are arranged configured to rotate therewith, wherein the closure flaps are rotatable into a closed and an opened position by a rotational movement of the shaft;
• a drive configured to drive the shaft and configured to generate the rotational movement thereof, wherein
• with respect to imaginary planes at both ends of the shaft, perpendicular to the shaft, the drive is arranged outside axially outwardly facing sides of said two imaginary planes,
• a driving force of the drive is introduced onto the shaft exclusively between two adjacent air outlet openings of the at least two air outlet openings via a driveshaft, and
• the driveshaft extends in an interior of the shaft, the driveshaft being directly connected at a first end thereof to a drive and being connected at a second end thereof, opposite to the first end, to the shaft via a fixed mechanical connection, the drive positionally fixed with respect to a housing in which the air flap structure is disposed, and the drive is a driven element of a Bowden cable.
