    摘要: A drive arrangement configured to pivot a tailgate pivotally coupled to a vehicle body, between an open position and a closed position and including a freewheel mechanism, a drive shaft, and a motor. The freewheel mechanism may be rotatably coupled to the vehicle body and defining an opening provided with an inner periphery that includes a first cam element and a second cam element. The drive shaft may be fixed to the vehicle body and extending into the opening. The drive shaft may define an outer periphery that includes a third cam element and a fourth cam element. A motor may be coupled to the freewheel mechanism and may be configured to rotate the freewheel mechanism so that the first cam element engages the third cam element to pivot the tailgate from the closed position towards the open position.

    摘要: A control unit for establishing a functional connection between two gearing components comprises at least one control element, which can be moved in order to switch the control unit between different switching states, wherein the at least one control element is configured to provide a retaining force between the gearing components in a first switching state, and to allow movement of the gearing components in relation to one another in a second switching state. An actuator is used to move the at least one control element. A control mechanism controls the actuator. It is provided thereby that the control mechanism is configured to activate the actuator to switch the control unit from the first switching state to the second switching state, in order to move the at least one control element to reduce the retaining force (FH) based on a predetermined delay function (VF).

    摘要: A harvesting machine includes a chassis, a ground-engaging mechanism for supporting the chassis, and a tank assembly mounted to the chassis for storing a crop material. The tank assembly includes a retractable door for at least partially covering an opening formed in a top of the tank assembly. A mobile sensor assembly includes a rod and a sensor for detecting a weather condition, such that the rod includes a first end coupled to the retractable door and a second end to which the sensor is coupled. The retractable door is operably moved between an open position and a closed position, and the mobile sensor assembly is rotatably moved between a deployed position and a stowed position as the door is moved between the open and closed positions, respectively.

    摘要: A hinged-panel opening and closing system includes: an anchor designed to be located on a hinged panel; a gear motor designed to be located on a supporting structure; and a movement-enabling component capable of angularly displacing the hinged panel relative to a receiving structure. The movement-enabling component includes: (a) a movement-enabling shaft located on the supporting structure and, at one shaft end, coupled to the gear motor; (b) a spindle located on supporting structure and coupled to the movement-enabling shaft; and (c) a linear element attaching, at a first end, to the spindle and attaching, at a second end, to the anchor such that said linear element extends between the spindle and the anchor.

    摘要: Door with automatic opening and closing, including a door panel, a support column fixed to the door panel and suitable for rotating around its longitudinal axis in such a way to move the door panel between two end-of-travel positions, an electric motor for actuating the support column and a drive unit for transmitting the motion from the electric motor to the support column. The drive unit has a first drive element connected to the electric motor and a second drive element connected to the support column, wherein the drive unit includes a clutch unit that is interposed between the first drive element and the electric motor or between the second drive element and the support column. The door also has an automatic lock that completes the automation of the door by detectors.

    摘要: A lid controlling apparatus includes a casing having a target region, a lid, and a rod driving mechanism connected between the casing and the lid. The rod driving mechanism includes a first rod pivoted to the casing, a non-rotatable gear fixed to the casing, a driven gear pivoted to a side of the first rod and connected to the lid, and a planetary gear device pivoted to the side of the first rod and engaged with the non-rotatable gear and the driven gear for rotating between lifting and closed positions. When the planetary gear device rotates to the lifting position, the first rod pivots with rotation of the planetary gear device to have a first included angle relative to the casing, and the planetary gear device rotates the driven gear to make the lid have a second included angle relative to the first rod for exposing the target region.
