Ventilation Device

A vehicle and ventilation device combination comprising:

• a vehicle;
• a blower module operationally coupled to an electrical circuit of the vehicle;
• and
• a first duct assembly and a second duct assembly coupled to the vehicle, the first duct assembly extending between a passenger compartment and at least one of a trunk and an opening in an exterior surface of the vehicle, the second duct assembly extending between the passenger compartment and an aperture in the exterior surface of the vehicle, at least one of the first duct assembly and the second duct assembly being operationally coupled to the blower module wherein the blower module is configured for exchanging air in the passenger compartment with air from an ambient environment in which the vehicle is positioned for cooling the passenger compartment.

A ventilation device comprising:

• a blower module operationally coupled to an electrical circuit of a vehicle;
• a first duct assembly and a second duct assembly coupled to the vehicle, the first duct assembly extending between a passenger compartment and at least one of a trunk and an opening in an exterior surface of the vehicle, the second duct assembly extending between the passenger compartment and an aperture in the exterior surface of the vehicle, at least one of the first duct assembly and the second duct assembly being operationally coupled to the blower module wherein the blower module is configured for exchanging air in the passenger compartment with air from an ambient environment in which the vehicle is positioned for cooling the passenger compartment, the first duct assembly comprising a pair of first ducts, each first duct extending from the opening to proximate to a roof and a respective opposing side of the passenger compartment wherein the first ducts are configured for drawing hot air from proximate to the roof of the vehicle, the second duct assembly comprising a pair of second ducts, each second duct extending from the aperture to the passenger compartment such that the second ducts terminate lower in the passenger compartment relative to the first ducts wherein the second ducts are configured for expelling intake air into the passenger compartment below the first ducts, one of the second ducts extending through a rear seat of the vehicle substantially equally distant from the opposing sides of the passenger compartment such that the second duct expels cool air proximate to a head of a person positioned in the rear seat, the other of the second ducts terminating at a front edge of the rear seat substantially equally distant from the opposing sides of the passenger compartment such that the second duct expels cool air proximate to a floor of the passenger compartment, the blower module comprising at least one of an exhaust fan operationally coupled to the first duct assembly and an intake fan operationally coupled to the second duct assembly, the exhaust fan being coupled to the vehicle proximate to an opening positioned in a lower panel of the trunk proximate to a respective corner of the vehicle, the intake fan being coupled to the vehicle proximate to an aperture positioned in the lower panel of the trunk proximate to a respective corner of the vehicle;
• a temperature sensor coupled to the vehicle within the passenger compartment wherein the temperature sensor is configured for measuring a temperature of the air in the passenger compartment;
• a switch operationally coupled to the temperature sensor and the blower module such that the switch is positioned for selectively actuating the blower module in event the temperature of the air in the passenger compartment exceeds a predetermined temperature;
• a panel coupled to and extending between the opposing sides of the passenger compartment proximate to the roof defining a chamber, the first duct assembly extending between the chamber and the opening, a front of the chamber being open wherein the chamber is configured for entering of hot air from the passenger compartment positioning the first duct assembly for directing the hot air through the opening;
• a controller operationally coupled to a battery of the vehicle, the temperature sensor, the switch, and the blower module wherein the controller is configured for selectively coupling the temperature sensor, the switch, and the blower module to the battery;
• and
• a solar panel coupled to the exterior surface of the vehicle, the solar panel being operationally coupled to the controller such that the controller is positioned for selectively powering the temperature sensor, the switch, and the blower module with direct current from the solar panel and wherein the controller is configured for selectively supplying direct current from the solar panel to the battery for charging the battery.
