  • Publication number: 20230010708
    Abstract: A method for producing a housing of an air conditioner, in which at least a part of the housing is produced as a plastic part by means of an injection molding process by injecting a plastic into a mold cavity of an injection molding tool, wherein a damping element is placed in the injection mold prior to injection of the plastic into the injection mold so that the damping element establishes a bond with the plastic during injection of the plastic into the injection mold and becomes a component of the injection-molded plastic part.

  • Publication number: 20220250437
    Abstract: An air duct system for conducting air within an HVAC equipment of a motor vehicle may include a housing of the HVAC equipment, a sensor through which air is flowable, and at least one air duct connected to the sensor in an air-conducting manner. The housing may include (i) a first housing part with a first connecting surface and (ii) a second housing part with a second connecting surface. The first housing part and the second housing part may abut one another and may be fixedly connected to each other via the first and second connecting surface. The at least one air duct may be formed, at least in regions, between the first and second connecting surface. The at least one air duct may have at least one constriction point at which a cross-section of the at least one air duct is reduced.

  • Patent number: 11345046
    Abstract: A gripping unit for the automated assembly of a component having at least one holding region may include at least one assembly gripper configured to grip the component in the at least one holding region. The at least one assembly gripper may include two gripping fingers that may be axially adjustable towards one another into a gripping position where the component is securable between the two gripping fingers, and that may be axially adjustable away from one another into a released position where the component is releasable from the two gripping fingers. The two gripping fingers may include a first gripping finger having a first gripping contour and a second gripping finger having a second gripping contour. The first gripping contour and the second gripping contour may be structured complimentary to the at least one holding region of the component.
