A proximity sensor installed inside a vehicle can include: an outer frame formed of a first non-conductive substance and including a first metal layer; an inner frame formed of a second non-conductive substance, including a second metal layer, and disposed in an interior of the outer frame; a sensor electrode contacting the second metal layer; and a sensor Integrated Circuit (IC) connected to the sensor electrode and configured to detect an approach or a contact of a user's hand. The first metal layer can be connected to the ground (GND) so as to confine a sensing field of the sensor electrode to the interior of the outer frame.

Proximity sensor

A proximity sensor is provided. The proximity sensor has an exposed exterior surface formed of a metal material to improve the aesthetics thereof. The proximity sensor mounted within a vehicle includes a frame formed of a nonconductive material and a metal layer that covers an exterior surface of the frame. A sensor electrode contacts the metal layer and a sensor integrated circuit (IC) connected to the sensor electrode to sense an approach or a contact of a user on the metal layer.

A method for dehydrating an evaporator of an air conditioner of a vehicle is provided to drive a blower motor depending on the humidity of the evaporator while monitoring a dry state of the evaporator, thus allowing the evaporator to be appropriately dried and preventing a problem from being caused by the discharge of a battery, therefore minimizing an odor generated by the air conditioner of the vehicle owing to effective drying of the evaporator of the air conditioner, and consequently considerably improving the marketability of the vehicle.

Method for dehydrating evaporator of air conditioner of vehicle

Disclosed herein is a waste heat management system of an electric vehicle. In particular, a pump for controlling the flow of cooling fluid, an OBC cooling fluid line and a motor cooling fluid line which diverge in parallel from an outlet of a cooling fluid line of the fluid pump, and a heater core cooling fluid line and a radiator cooling fluid line which are respectively connected in parallel with a junction of an inlet of the fluid pump cooling fluid line and a junction of outlets of the heater core cooling fluid line and the radiator cooling fluid line, are interconnected to provide both heating and air-conditioning to the interior of the vehicle. Additionally, the present invention, also allows the motor to be preheated when the vehicle is not running.

System and method for managing waste heat of electric vehicle

An air-conditioner for a vehicle, may include a casing having an upper outlet and a lower outlet, with an air flow space defined in the casing and including an upper space and a lower space to guide air to the upper outlet and/or the lower outlet, an evaporator installed in the casing and selectively communicating with the upper outlet through the upper space, and a distributing partition wall to partition the lower space into a receiving space to receive a heating member therein and selectively communicate with the upper space and at least a partitioned space to communicate the heating member with the lower outlet, thus guiding the air to a side portion of the casing.

Air-conditioner for vehicle

Provided are an apparatus and method for preventing the inflow of exhaust gas of a vehicle. The apparatus includes a mode door provided in an air conditioner of a vehicle in such a manner as to close an air inlet, being in air-close mode, so that only inside air is circulated, or to open the air inlet, being in air-open mode, so that outer air is introduced, and a controller designed, in the air-close mode and above a certain vehicle speed, to control the mode door to tilt and open at a certain angle towards the air-open mode.

Apparatus and method for preventing inflow of exhaust gas of vehicle

An apparatus for measuring a concentration of COfor a vehicle may include an indoor panel of a vehicle in which an air inlet is mounted, and a COsensing unit mounted in the indoor panel, including a light emitting unit, a light receiving unit, and a case surrounding the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit so as to reflect and move light on a plane, and vertically introduced with air introduced into the inlet with respect to the plane on which light moves.

[object Object]

The sensing apparatus for a vehicle includes a case having an opening part formed so as to communicate with an outside. A printed circuit board is disposed inside of the case, and includes a circuit unit. A noxious gas sensing part is electrically connected with the circuit unit for sensing a noxious gas of an external air inflowing through the opening portion, and for outputting a sensing signal. A connector is disposed at least partially with the case, one end thereof being directly connected with the circuit unit, and the other end thereof being directly connected with an external device.
