Abstract
An air flap structure for a motor vehicle air-conditioning module includes at least two air outlet openings, a shaft, and a drive. The at least two air outlet openings each have an assigned closure flap configured to close and open the assigned air outlet opening. The shaft has therein the closure flaps arranged and is configured to rotate therewith. The closure flaps are rotatable into a closed and an opened position by a rotational movement of the shaft. The drive is configured to drive the shaft and configured to generate the rotational movement thereof. With respect to imaginary planes at both ends of the shaft, perpendicular to the shaft, the drive is arranged outside the axially outwardly facing sides of said two imaginary planes. A driving force of the drive is introduced onto the shaft exclusively between two adjacent air outlet openings of the at least two air outlet openings.
