Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (hvac) assembly for managing air mixing door kinematics and method for managing the same

A method for managing air mixing door kinematics in a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) assembly for a motor vehicle, the method comprising:

• obtaining a temperature command indicating a target temperature for a passenger cabin;
• identifying a pattern of non-linear door kinematics for mixing two or more air flows based on the temperature command;
• coordinating the non-linear door kinematics between at least a first door and a second door, each door regulating a corresponding hot air flow or a corresponding cold air flow,
• wherein the non-linear door kinematics comprise at least one delay value that determines a difference in actuation between the first door and the second door;
• mixing the corresponding hot air flow and the corresponding cold air flow;
• and
• dynamically modifying the non-linear door kinematics based on immediate changes to the temperature command.

A heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) assembly for managing air mixing door kinematics of a motor vehicle, the assembly comprising:

• a first door configured for allowing passage of a first air flow;
• a second door configured for allowing passage of a second air flow;
• a third door configured for allowing passage of a third air flow;
• obtaining means configured to obtain a temperature command representative of a target temperature for a passenger cabin;
• identifying means configured to identify a pattern of non-linear door kinematics for mixing two or more air flows based on the temperature command;
• coordinating means configured to coordinate the non-linear door kinematics between the first door, the second door, and the third door,
• wherein the non-linear door kinematics comprise at least one delay value that determines a difference in actuation between the first door and the second door and the third door;
• and
• mixing means configured to mix the first air flow, the second air flow, and the third air flow,
• wherein the identifying means and the coordinating means dynamically modify the non-linear door kinematics based on immediate changes to the temperature command.
