Abstract

An under cover for a heat suction is provided and includes a stagnant-air inlet unit into which stagnant air formed in an engine room is drawn and a communication pipe that is configured to communicate with the stagnant-air inlet unit and transmit the stagnant air, drawn into the stagnant-air inlet unit, to an under cover body. A stagnant-air outlet unit is configured to communicate with the communication pipe to exhaust the stagnant air, transmitted to the under cover body, out of the under cover body through the stagnant-air outlet unit, and the stagnant-air outlet unit is mounted to the under cover body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An under cover for a heat suction, comprising:
a stagnant-air inlet unit into which stagnant air formed in an engine room is drawn;
a communication pipe configured to communicate with the stagnant-air inlet unit and transmit the stagnant air, drawn into the stagnant-air inlet unit, to an under cover body; and
a stagnant-air outlet unit configured to communicate with the communication pipe to exhaust the stagnant air, transmitted to the under cover body, out of the under cover body through the stagnant-air outlet unit,
wherein the stagnant-air outlet unit is mounted to the under cover body,
wherein the stagnant-air inlet unit includes an inlet port open toward an air stagnation area formed in the engine room,
wherein a cross-sectional area of the communication pipe is less than a cross-sectional area of each stagnant-air inlet unit and stagnant-air outlet unit.

2. The under cover of claim 1 , wherein the stagnant-air inlet unit further includes:
a first ventilation nozzle that protrudes from a lower surface thereof and communicates with the communication pipe.

3. The under cover of claim 2 , wherein the stagnant-air inlet unit further includes:
a mounting unit configured to mount the stagnant-air inlet unit in the engine room.

4. The under cover of claim 1 , wherein the communication pipe includes a plurality of communication pipes.

5. The under cover of claim 1 , wherein the stagnant-air outlet unit includes:
an outlet port open in a direction in which external air flows when a vehicle moves.

6. The under cover of claim 5 , wherein the stagnant-air outlet unit further includes:
a second ventilation nozzle that protrudes from an upper surface thereof and communicates with the communication pipe.

7. The under cover of claim 1 , wherein the under cover body includes an under cover aperture formed at a position at which the stagnant-air outlet unit is mounted to the under cover body.

8. The under cover of claim 1 , wherein the stagnant-air outlet unit and the under cover body are integrated with each other.

9. The under cover of claim 1 , wherein the communication pipe includes a single communication pipe and a cross-sectional area of a medial portion of the communication pipe is less than a cross-sectional area of each opposite end of the communication pipe.

10. The under cover of claim 9 , wherein the stagnant-air inlet unit, the communication pipe, and the stagnant-air outlet unit are integrated with each other.
