Abstract: A battery module secures cooling performance of a battery cell by cooling upper and lower parts of the battery cell, and also secures the assemblability of the battery cell through an upper and lower-side cooling structure. In addition, the battery module includes: a lower frame coupled to lower sides of side panels and cover plates to form a support structure and having a lower heat transfer member; and an upper frame coupled to upper sides of the side panels and the cover plates to form another support structure and having an upper heat transfer member, thereby securing the stability of the battery cells by supporting an expansive force attributable to the swelling of the battery cell.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a sensor cleaning system of a vehicle. The nozzle assembly includes at least two nozzle passage portions and fluid is introduced into the at least two nozzle portions. The nozzle assembly includes a plurality of discharge ports configured to discharge the fluid flowing through the at least two nozzle passage portions out of the nozzle passage portions. The fluids introduced into the at least two nozzle passage portions flow independently of each other.

Abstract: A method of controlling the sensor cleaning system includes detecting contamination of an environmental sensor, determining a contamination source of the contamination when contamination of the environmental sensor is detected, and adjusting operation of an air cleaning system of the sensor cleaning system based on the determined contamination source.

Abstract: A sensor cleaning device includes a chamber portion disposed on the outer circumferential surface of a sensor and has an air passage and a discharge port formed therein. A blocking portion is coupled to the chamber portion to shield the discharge port and is configured to selectively open the discharge port by the injection pressure of injected air. A holder portion is coupled to the chamber portion while covering the blocking portion and is configured to control the opening displacement of the blocking portion when the blocking portion is opened.

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus and, more particularly, a sensor cleaning apparatus. The cleaning apparatus includes a nozzle configured to receive a fluid and inject the fluid to a subject. The nozzle is configured such that a cross-section thereof changes in a flow direction of the fluid.

Abstract: Disclosed is an assisted sensor cleaning system configured to receive support from a cooperative system that assists the sensor cleaning system. The assisted sensor cleaning system includes: an air cleaning system including a compressor to produce compressed air, and an air tank to store the compressed air. In particular, the air cleaning system is configured to clean an environmental sensor of a vehicle by using the compressed air from the compressor or the air tank. The assisted sensor cleaning system further includes: a cooperative system including a cooperative compressor to produce compressed air used for the cooperative system, and a cooperative air tank to store the compressed air. The assisted sensor cleaning system includes: a gate set to selectively supply the compressed air from the cooperative system to the air cleaning system; and an integrated controller configured to at least partially control an operation of the gate set.

Abstract: A muffler for a vehicle includes: a case sealed at both ends by first and second side panels; first and second baffle plates installed in the case; a first chamber formed between the first side panel and the first baffle plate; a second chamber formed between the first baffle plate and the second baffle plate; a third chamber formed between the second baffle plate and the second side panel; an intake tube passing through the first side panel, and the first and second baffle plates, and including a first hole formed in a first body section located in the first chamber, and a second hole formed in a second body section located in the second chamber; and a pair of exhaust tubes passing through the first and second baffle plates, and the second side panel, and including a vent hole formed in body section located in the second chamber.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a seat heating system for a vehicle including: an exhaust gas inlet tube having one end communicating with a silencer hole formed in a muffler silencer, and the other end mounted on a vehicle body in a front and rear direction of a vehicle and connected to a seat rail coupled to a seat and an exhaust gas outlet tube having one end communicating with a muffler pipe of the rear end of the muffler silencer, and the other end connected to the seat rail, and the present disclosure may not require a seat interior hot wire of a vehicle, and implement a heating function using the waste heat of exhaust gas to heat the seat.
