A system and a method for controlling opening and closing of a charging door of a vehicle are provided. The system includes a switch sensor that is mounted at the charging door to receive a pressing signal when the charging door switch of the vehicle is pressed. A controller determines whether a door lock of the vehicle is in a locked state to operate the charging door switch of the vehicle. When the door lock of the vehicle is in an unlocked state and the charging door switch of the vehicle is continuously pressed for more than a predetermined time, the controller processes the received pressing signal to determine whether the received pressing signal received is caused by a user manipulation. The charging door is opened when the pressing signal is caused by the user manipulation.

A push-lifter for a vehicle drains water entered into an inside through a drainage portion. A lower portion of a case includes a peripheral wall, a bottom wall, and an air vent portion opening at a center of the bottom wall. A cap includes a bottom portion located away from the bottom wall, and forming a first air flow channel communicating with the air vent portion between the bottom portion and the bottom wall; a side portion located away from the peripheral wall by continuing to the bottom portion, and having a cylindrical shape forming a second air flow channel communicating with the first air flow channel between the side portion and the peripheral wall; and a drainage portion located on a lower side in an attachment state of the case relative to a vehicle body side, communicating with the second air flow channel, and opening toward the bottom portion.

The disclosure relates to a push-and-pull latch device including a housing, a latching component, a first elastic component, an inner-sleeve assembly, an inner-shaft component, a second elastic component and a third elastic component. The first elastic component abuts the latching component. The latching component engages an object through the housing. The inner-sleeve assembly is accommodated within the housing. The inner-shaft component is partially accommodated within the inner-sleeve assembly. The second elastic component is abutted between the inner-shaft component and the inner-sleeve assembly. The third elastic component includes a fixed portion connected to the inner-shaft component and an engaging end engaged with a guide groove of the inner-sleeve assembly. By driving the inner-shaft component to move the engaging end relative to the guide groove or move the inner-sleeve assembly relative to the housing, the relative positions between the components can be switched to provide the functions of opening and closing.

In order to lock the door proceeding from the open position, a locking bar is brought into the locked position under tension of a spring element, in which locked position a closing force acting on the locking bar is determined by the spring element, and, in order to unlock the door, the locking bar is brought out of the locked position into an unlocked position with the aid of an actuating force that is not applied by the spring element, and, after the striker has moved out of the locked position, the locking bar moves into the open position by the force of the spring element.

A linear reciprocating-motion apparatus includes at least one movable member (10, 30) supported by a housing (90) and being capable of undergoing linear reciprocating motion in a range that includes a first position, a second position, and a third position; a stopper (50) supported by the housing to be displaceable between a blocking position that blocks the at least one movable member and a nonblocking position that does not block the at least one movable member, and is displaced to the nonblocking position in response to a specific operation; an intermittent mechanism (100, 200) that interacts with movement of the at least one movable member and assumes a specific state once every two times that the at least one movable member moves to the third position; and a switch (SW1) that, in response to the specific state, is switched from a disconnected state or a connected state to the other thereof.

A motor vehicle lock arrangement for a motor vehicle door which is adjustably coupled to a motor vehicle body work, wherein the motor vehicle lock arrangement has a motor vehicle lock wherein the motor vehicle lock arrangement has a push-open arrangement for applying a drive force to the motor vehicle door in its opening direction, so that the motor vehicle door can be adjusted, in a motor-operated push-open process, from a closed door position into a push-open door position which is located further in the opening direction of said motor vehicle door, and as a result an engagement gap can be produced between the motor vehicle door and the motor vehicle body work. It is proposed that the motor vehicle lock arrangement has a light arrangement and a light controller for actuating the light arrangement.
