Abstract: Disclosed is a cover for sealing a charging port. The cover has a cover body with an inner cover side and an outer cover side facing away from each other. The cover body includes a first sealing portion and a second sealing portion. The first sealing portion to seal a first charging port and the second sealing portion to seal a second charging port. The first sealing portion and the second sealing portion are arranged in an outer peripheral direction of the cover body, and the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion are both arranged on the inner cover side of the cover body. The two sealing portions of the cover are arranged on the same side of the cover facing the charging ports, so that when the cover seals either of the charging ports, the two sealing portions are neither directly exposed to an external environment of a vehicle, thereby reducing the risk that the two sealing portions of the cover are contaminated by the external environment, and thus reducing the risk that the charging ports and charging interface elements inside the charging ports are contaminated.

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.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an actuating assembly and a fuel filler or charging inlet flip assembly. The actuating assembly comprises a driving gear and a transmission gear. The transmission gear is configured to be capable of rotating in a first direction to open the flip and in a second direction to close the flip, driven by the driving gear. An outer periphery of the driving gear is provided with a first outer periphery portion and a second outer periphery portion, the first outer periphery portion is provided on one side of the second outer periphery portion in a circumferential direction, the first outer periphery portion comprises a plurality of driving teeth, the second outer periphery portion comprises a driving gear abutting portion. The actuating assembly can allow for a reduced machining accuracy, and thus allow for a smoother engagement of the driving gear and the transmission gear.

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 disclosure provides an actuation device and a refueling port or charging port flap assembly. The actuation device comprises: a housing, a rotary motion mechanism, a linear motion mechanism, a rotary output mechanism and a linear output mechanism. The rotary motion mechanism and the linear motion mechanism are mounted inside the housing. The rotary output mechanism and the linear output mechanism are connected to the outside of the housing. The rotary output mechanism is configured to open and close a flap. The linear output mechanism is configured to lock and unlock the flap. A motion input mechanism, a motion output mechanism and a mounting structure of the actuation device each have a predetermined structure and size, so that the design of the actuation device can be simplified, facilitating mounting. In the present disclosure, further, a direction of a linear motion output of the actuation device is configured to be parallel to a direction of a rotation axis about which a rotary motion output of the actuation device is performed, thereby simplifying the mechanical structure of the actuation device.

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.

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.
