Air damper device with damper adjustment on the basis of a determined risk of collision

摘要

An air flap device (20) for a motor vehicle (10) comprises an air flap carrier (26) with a throughflow opening (36) and with at least one air flap (24) projecting into or passing through the throughflow opening (36), which at the air flap carrier between a blocking position as one Working position and a passage position as a further working position is movably mounted, wherein the air flap (24) in the blocking position of a proper flow through the flow opening (36) opposes a greater resistance than in the passage position, wherein the air flap device (20) further comprises a drive device (54) which is connected as a movement drive of the at least one air flap (24) for movement between their working positions with this at least temporarily driving force, and wherein the air flap device (20) comprises a control device (48) for controlling the Antriebsvorrichtu ng (54). According to the invention, the air flap device (20) comprises a collision prediction device (16) which is configured to monitor a monitoring area (18) located in front of the vehicle (10) in the state mounted on a motor vehicle (10) and to assess it with respect to a collision risk the collision prediction device (16) is signal transmittingly coupled to the controller (48), and wherein the controller (48) is configured to drive the drive device (54) to move the at least one louver (24) to a predetermined target position range the collision prediction device (16) outputs a signal indicating that the danger of a collision is high.
