Abstract
A vehicle active air flap system includes a flap configured to open or close an outdoor air inlet disposed in a grill of a vehicle, at least one sensor configured to detect various types of state information of the vehicle, and a controller configured to selectively adopt various sensing data values detected by the at least one sensor according to whether the vehicle starts and then compare at least one sensing data value of the adopted sensing data values with a preset vehicle driving condition data value to open or close the flap according to a compared result value.
Claims20
A vehicle active air flap system that is an external active air flap system, comprising:
- a flap configured to open or close an outdoor air inlet disposed in a grill of a vehicle;
- at least one sensor configured to detect various types of state information of the vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to selectively adopt various sensing data values detected by the at least one sensor according to whether the vehicle starts and then compare at least one sensing data value of the adopted sensing data values with a preset vehicle driving condition data value to open or close the flap according to a compared result value.
A vehicle active air flap system that is an external active air flap system, comprising:
- a flap configured to open or close an outdoor air inlet disposed in a grill of a vehicle;
- a display module having an automatic car wash mode and a manual car wash mode to selectively open or close the flap according to a preset driving condition;
- and
- a controller configured to selectively adopt each driving mode according to a wash mode of the driving unit and to open or close the flap based on adopted data information.
A vehicle active air flap control method comprising:
- a sensing data value acquisition operation of sensing and acquiring various types of state information of a vehicle;
- a car wash mode operation of comparing an acquired sensing data value with a preset driving condition data value and switching a flap, which opens or closes an outdoor air inlet of a vehicle grill, to a car wash logic method when a result value matches the preset driving condition;
- and
- a normal mode operation of switching the flap to a normal control logic method when the sensing data value does not match the driving condition.
