Patent Images
1. An electromechanical device associated with thermoactuators, particularly for the control of valves in vehicle climate control or air conditioning systems, comprising a pair of thermoactuators being associated with heaters;
- two "L"-shaped parts being mounted in a mobile fashion moving, against the reaction of calibrated springs, on a plate having stops interfering with teeth of said "L"-shaped parts;
said plate being equipped with a slot engaging a sliding pin carried on one end of a mobile arm, said mobile arm having a curved rack on an opposite side of said mobile arm from said sliding pin, said curved rack always engaged by a pinion integral with a shaft incorporating a potentiometer electrically connected to an electronic control unit;
said shaft having the function of controlling a butterfly valve, in turn controlling the flow of air exiting from a radiator of an air conditioning system.

Abstract
An electromechanical device for vehicle climate control and air conditioning systems. The valves in said systems are actuated by one or more plungers incorporated in electrothermoactuators associated with mechanisms which transmit and, if required, transform the linear movement generated by plungers causing the opening/closing of the system'"'"'s valves.
