Abstract: A flip cover actuation assembly for actuating a flip cover is movably mounted on a base. The flip cover actuation assembly has a locking means, a hinge means, a drive shaft and a drive member. The drive shaft has a fitting portion. The hinge means is installed around the fitting portion. An engagement structure is provided on a receiving portion of the hinge means. The engagement structure enables the receiving portion and the fitting portion to rotatably engage or separate such that the drive shaft moves the flip cover relative to the hinge means. The locking or releasing of the flip cover and the opening and closing of the flip cover is achieved by the drive shaft with the drive member. In addition, the releasing and the opening of the flip cover are achieved at different times to avoid any interferences.

Abstract: An actuation assembly for a refueling port or charging port flip cover assembly is rotatably mounted on a base and includes a locking means, a flip cover rotating shaft, a transmission gear, a drive gear and a drive member. The locking means is movably disposed on the base and configured to lock or release a flip cover. The flip cover rotating shaft is configured to rotate the flip cover and includes a fitting portion. The transmission gear includes a receiving portion and is installed around the fitting portion. The drive gear and the drive member are configured to synchronously rotate. The drive gear is meshed with the transmission gear and the drive member is configured to drive the locking means. In moving the locking means from a release position to a locking position, the drive gear blocks the rotation of the transmission gear and prevents the flip cover from opening.
