A system for managing the air of a front-end air inlet of a motor vehicle may include at least one flap and a holding frame for holding the at least one flap. The flap may include a pivot pin for pivoting the flap. A support with at least one bearing may receive the pivot pin and a closing element for closing the bearing. A control device may control the movement of the flap between a sealed position in which the air inlet is sealed and at least one open position in which the air inlet is open by pivoting the pivot pin in a region of the bearing. The flap may include an actuating finger for actuating the flap, integral in movement with a rod controlled by the control device. The closing element forms a guide for the rod.

System for managing the front-end air inlet of a motor vehicle

The invention relates to an air flow regulating device () for an air inlet of a motor vehicle front-end module comprising a supporting frame () in which is installed a plurality of shutter flaps () pivoting between a closed position and an open position. According to the invention, the regulating device () comprises a recess () for receiving an electronic detection component ().

A device for closing a motor vehicle front end air intake is disclosed. The device has a support frame in which at least one set of pivoting slats is installed. At least one control element that controls the positioning of the slats includes an actuator having fixing holes, a housing that receives the actuator, and a cap that comes to cover the housing. The cooperation between the cap and the housing being effected by clipping. The housing includes positioning elements to be inserted into the fixing holes, and the cap includes at least one specific shape that keeps the actuator fixed relative to the positioning elements when clipping the cap onto the housing.

An aerodynamic deflector device for a motor vehicle wheel may include a mounting configured to be mounted on a motor vehicle. A deflecting wall may be mounted on the mounting to be movable between a retracted position. In the mounted state, the deflecting wall is raised relative to the mounting, and an extended position in which, in the mounted state, the deflecting wall is lowered relative to the mounting and capable of being placed upstream from the wheel of the vehicle. An actuator may be configured to move the deflecting wall between the retracted and extended positions. The deflecting wall may have, in cross-section, a central part and two side parts flaring out from the central part to obtain a shape which diverges with respect to the direction of the air flow striking said wall. The aerodynamic deflector device may be arranged upstream from a vehicle wheel.

Aerodynamic deflector device for motor vehicle wheel

An aerodynamic deflector device for a wheel of a motor vehicle, including: a support that is elongate and designed to be mounted on a motor vehicle; a deflecting wall mounted such that it is movable on the support between a retracted position in which the deflecting wall is raised in relation to the support in the mounted state, and a deployed position in which the deflecting wall is lowered in relation to the support in the mounted state; and an actuator designed to move the deflecting wall between the retracted and deployed positions. The deflecting wall is mounted such that it can be rotatably moved on the support about an axis of rotation oriented substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the support and driven by the actuator.

An air inflow control system for an active grille shutter is disclosed. The air inflow control system includes a frame including at least one housing, a flap including a flap rotary shaft, and a mechanical part adapted to maintain the rotary shaft in the housing when the mechanical part is secured to the frame. The flap rotary shaft may be installed in the housing, the flap may be capable of being placed, by rotation about the rotary shaft, in at least one open position and one closed position. The mechanical part may include an abutment, where the flap may be positioned against the abutment when the flap is placed in the open position.
