Air flap device

摘要

An air flap device comprises a housing with an air flow passage section. At least one air flap is mounted on a first and on a second mounting point on the housing. The second mounting point is located at an axial distance from the first mounting point. The air flap is rotatable around the pivot axis defining the axial direction. By pivoting the at least one air flap relative to the housing, the effective flow cross-section of the air flow passage section can be modified. The air flap(s) is mounted on the mounting points with an axial play relative to the housing. At least one spring assembly is arranged such that at least one part of an axial movement of the air flap(s) occurs within its play relative to the housing in the direction of the first or/and the second mounting point, against a pre-tensioning effect of the spring assembly.

1. An air flap device, comprising:
a housing with an air flow passage section as well as at least one air flap that is mounted on a first and on a second mounting point on the housing, the second mounting point being located at an axial distance from the first mounting point such that the air flap is pivotably mounted around a pivot axis defining the axial direction, so that by pivoting the at least one air flap relative to the housing the effective flow cross section of the flow passage section can be modified, wherein the at least one air flap is mounted on the mounting points with an axial play relative to the housing, and at least one spring assembly which is arranged such that at least one part of an axial movement of the at least one air flap in the direction of the first or/and of the second mounting point within its play relative to the housing occurs against a pre-tensioning effect of the at least one spring assembly.
