Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a driving assembly having a fixed gear, a fixed rack, a movable intermediate rack, a movable gear, and a transmission rack. The movable intermediate rack cooperates with the fixed gear such that the movable intermediate rack is capable of being driven to reciprocate when the fixed gear rotates clockwise and counterclockwise; the movable rotary shaft is rotatably fixed to the movable intermediate rack, and the movable gear cooperates with the fixed rack such that the movable gear is capable of reciprocatingly translating along an extension direction of the fixed rack when the movable intermediate rack reciprocates, and the movable gear is capable of rotating about the movable rotary shaft; and the transmission rack is capable of driving a member to be driven. The transmission rack cooperates with the movable gear such that the transmission rack is capable of being driven to reciprocate so as to move the member to be driven when the movable gear rotates clockwise and counterclockwise. In the driving assembly of the present disclosure, the combination of gears and racks enables the transmission rack to have a smaller size and move at a faster speed for the same movement distance.

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: The present application relates to a cover assembly including a housing, a cover, and a drive assembly. The housing has an accommodation space. The cover is movable relative to the housing and has a closed position and an open position, the cover closing a door plate opening on a door plate when the cover is in the closed position; and the cover is accommodated in the accommodation space and exposes the door plate opening when the cover is in the open position. A first end of the drive assembly can move linearly in a first direction, a second end of the drive assembly can be rotatably connected to a first end of the cover, the housing defines a first guide portion and a second guide portion, the first end of the cover can move along the first guide portion, and a second end of the cover can move along the second guide portion. The cover assembly of the present application can drive the cover to move through a drive device with a simple structure. Further, the cover of the present application can enable holding (self-locking) or opening (emergency opening) of the cover according to requirements of different holding forces of different customers.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a lid lock for a refueling or charging port having: a lifting shaft; a worm wheel; and a worm shaft. The worm wheel and the worm shaft are configured such that the worm shaft rotates in a first direction to drive the worm wheel to rotate, thereby driving the lifting shaft to perform a descending movement in an axial direction of the lifting shaft and then perform a rotational movement to expose a refueling or charging port for supplying fuel or electricity. In some examples, the worm shaft rotates in a second direction to drive the worm wheel to rotate, thereby driving the lifting shaft to perform a rotational movement and then perform an ascending movement in the axial direction of the lifting shaft to close the refueling or charging port. The present disclosure provides an internally retractable lid lock for a refueling or charging port. An internal space between an outer sheet metal of a vehicle and a refueling and charging port is fully utilized, so that a lid can be opened in the internal space, which not only is not limited by an external environment, but also reduces the possibility of damaging parts.
