Abstract: The present application provides a filling device for refilling a liquid storage tank in a vehicle. The filling device includes a support seat, a filling tank, and a connecting device. The support seat is arranged in a vehicle body and defines a containment space. The filling tank is movably connected to the support seat and is movable relative to the support seat between a filling position and a closed position. The filling tank includes a filling space, and a filling port and a liquid outlet that communicate with the filling space. The filling port is hidden in the vehicle body when the filling tank is in the closed position, and when the filling tank is in the filling position, the filling port is accessible from outside the vehicle body, enabling refilling of liquid from the filling port. The connecting device connects the filling tank to the support seat so that the filling tank can be moved in a translational manner relative to the support seat. The connecting device includes a connecting channel that communicates the liquid outlet of the filling tank with the liquid storage tank in the vehicle body.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicle components, and in particular to a cover device, which is flippable between a first shielding position and a second shielding position, the cover device comprising: a housing and a flip trigger device. The flip trigger device is at least partially accommodated in the housing and having a first side and a second side disposed oppositely. The flip trigger device is configured to generate a flip trigger signal after the first side and the second side are respectively stressed by force, such that the housing is driven to flip between the first shielding position and the second shielding position. In the present disclosure, the protective cover assembly can be flipped between two charging openings by means of only one cover device, which reduces the cost of the protective cover assembly while achieving the function of charging through one of the charging ports and shielding the other charging port.

Abstract: The present application relates to a cover assembly including a housing, a cover, a drive member, a first transmission member, and a second transmission member. The housing has a cavity. The cover has a closed position and an open position. The cover closes a door plate opening of a door plate when the cover is in the closed position and the door plate opening is exposed when the cover is in the open position. The drive member is movable relative to the housing. The first transmission member is rotatably connected with the cover and is rotatably connected with the drive member. The second transmission member is rotatably connected with the cover and is rotatably connected with the drive member. The drive member, the first transmission member, the second transmission member and the cover collectively form a linkage and are configured to drive the cover to move relative to the housing between the closed position and the open position. The cover assembly of the present application can prevent the cover in a closed state from being opened due to external force, and no additional locking means need to be provided. Furthermore, a cover in the open position is arranged parallel to a cover in the closed position, which can save space occupied by the cover assembly in a vehicle.

Abstract: A system for controlling opening of an aperture tube door, including a control component, a detection component, a sensing area and an indication component. The detection component is connected to the control component, and the indication component is connected to the control component. When detecting the sensing signal from the sensing area, the detection component sends out activation signal. When the activation signal has been received, the control component sends to the indication component indication control signal to control the indication component to send out aperture tube door status prompt, and the control component sends out a driving control signal configured to open the aperture tube door. A user can know that his/her touch or press has been detected through the status prompt sent by the indication component, so that the internal structure of the aperture tube door or aperture tube assembly will not be damaged.
