Damper assembly for controlling air flow in duct systems
The patent US12044430B2 describes a damper assembly designed for integration within ductwork systems, specifically to regulate airflow. The assembly features a damper frame that can be advanced into a duct, which includes an air flow aperture. A damper blade is pivotally secured to the frame, allowing it to rotate between closed, open, and intermediate positions to control airflow. Additionally, the assembly incorporates a flexible member that engages the duct's inner wall, a pivotably secured damper insert arm that transitions between deployment and operational configurations, and a latch mechanism that holds the insert arm in place. The latch consists of a pin and a cutout, ensuring secure engagement when the arm is deployed.
The patent also outlines methods for positioning the damper assembly within the duct, including displacing it upstream and through a register boot. It describes the use of an elongated deployment member to facilitate this process and the potential for securing control and power module housings to the duct or register boot. These modules are responsible for controlling and providing electrical power to the damper assembly. The claims further detail the engagement of the flexible member with the duct wall and the integration of a control cable between the power and control modules, enhancing the functionality and operability of the damper assembly within HVAC systems.
