Abstract:
There is described a closure unit ( 14 ) for an air inlet of a motor vehicle which comprises three closure flaps ( 18, 22, 26 ) which can be pivoted about a rotation axis ( 16, 20, 24 ). In a closed position, the closure flaps ( 18, 22, 26 ) close the air inlet and a closure flap which is referred to as a second closure flap ( 22 ) abuts a closed position stop ( 36 ). In an open position, the closure flaps ( 18, 22, 26 ) release the air inlet and a closure flap which is referred to as the third closure flap ( 26 ) abuts an open position stop ( 40 ). Furthermore, a method for detecting defective closure flaps ( 18, 22, 26 ) of such a closure unit ( 14 ) is explained. Furthermore, a motor vehicle having one or more air inlets is presented, wherein at least one of the air inlets is provided with such a closure unit ( 14 ).

Claim (Index 1):
A closure unit for an air inlet of a motor vehicle, comprising:\n a first closure flap which can be pivoted about a first rotation axis; a second closure flap which can be pivoted about a second rotation axis; a third closure flap which can be pivoted about a third rotation axis; a first coupling member via which the first closure flap and the second closure flap are kinematically coupled; a second coupling member via which the first closure flap and the third closure flap are kinematically coupled; and a drive unit which is drivingly coupled to the first closure flap and which is constructed to move the closure flaps from a closed position into an open position and vice versa, wherein the closure flaps in the closed position substantially close the air inlet in terms of flow and in the open position substantially release the air inlet in terms of flow, and wherein, in the closed position, the second closure flap abuts a closed position stop and, in the open position, the third closure flap abuts an open position stop.
