  • Publication number: 20240352980
    Abstract: An actuator includes a motor, a transmission mechanism, a clutch mechanism, and an output shaft. The motor is connected to the clutch mechanism in a transmission manner through the transmission mechanism. The clutch mechanism is connected to the output shaft. The transmission mechanism is power-coupled to the output shaft by using the clutch mechanism when the motor drives the output shaft to rotate. The transmission mechanism is power-decoupled from the output shaft by using the clutch mechanism when an external force drives the output shaft to rotate. The charging port cover including the foregoing actuator has a function of preventing the charging port cover from being opened by mistake. A user needs to apply an external force to manually open the charging port cover when the motor fails and the charging port cover cannot be normally opened, to effectively prevent the charging port cover from being opened by mistake.

  • Publication number: 20240102336
    Abstract: A control method for a charging port cover of a vehicle including a charging end assembly. The charging end assembly includes a charging port having a fast charging port and a slow charging port and a charging port cover having a fast charging port cover and a slow charging port cover. The method includes: when a charging port cover opening signal is received, controlling both the fast charging port cover and the slow charging port cover to be opened; when one of the fast charging port and the slow charging port is detected to be inserted with a plug-in end of a charging device, generating a charging port cover closing instruction; and controlling the charging port cover corresponding to the charging port into which the plug-in end is not inserted to be closed according to the charging port cover closing instruction.
