The invention relates to an actuation device (3) for mounting on a vehicle part (2), in particular in the form of a door or a hinged closure element, the actuation device comprising: an electrical switching means (30) having at least one switching element (31) for triggering a vehicle function; and a housing unit (10) having at least a first and a second housing portion (11, 12), which at least partly form a housing interior (13), in which the switching element (31) is arranged, the second housing portion (12) being movable, at least in some regions, relative to the first housing portion (11) from an idle position (I) into an actuation position (II) in order to actuate the switching element (31). The invention further relates to a vehicle (1) and to an actuation method (100).

The invention relates to an actuation device (3) for installing on a movable vehicle part (2), in particular in the form of a door or a hatch, having an electric switch means (20) with a switch element (21) for initiating a vehicle function and having a housing unit (10) with at least one first and second housing element (11, 12) that at least partly form a housing interior (13), in which the switch element (21) is arranged. The invention additionally relates to a vehicle (1) and to an actuation method (100).

A door lock device pair includes right and left door lock devices; each of the door lock devices including: a housing; a coupler wall projecting from the housing; a flat portion formed on the housing; and a waterproof seal fixed to the flat portion and being wrapped around the coupler wall, the waterproof seal including: inner and outer peripheral surfaces; and an inclined surface that forms an acute angle with respect to the inner peripheral surface and an obtuse angle at another end of the inclined surface, the inner peripheral surface being in contact with the outer peripheral wall and being in contact with the inclined surface, and the waterproof seals in the door lock devices having the same shape, and the waterproof seals being wrapped around the respective outer peripheral walls in the same direction.

An automobile micro actuator, which applies to the cover of an automobile fuel tank or the cover of a charging case, includes a casing with a motor chamber and a locking chamber. The motor chamber has electric locking components that include a motor, transmission components and locking components. The locking chamber has manual locking components that include a rotary push rod, a driving sleeve and a rotary sleeve. The locking components comprise a locking base in the motor chamber, a locking tab for locking the rotary sleeve, and a hook arm for connecting the locking base and locking tab. A passage suitable for the hook arm is provided between the motor chamber and locking chamber. The wall of the locking chamber is provided with a locking hole connected with the passage. The locking tab can pass through the locking hole and form an interference fit with the rotary sleeve.

A vehicle door lock device includes: a connecting portion to which a connector for connection to an external device is connected; a casing; a latch mechanism that is arranged at a rear end portion of the casing in a vehicle front-rear direction and includes a latch and a ratchet; a locking and unlocking mechanism arranged in the casing, the locking and unlocking mechanism including: a lever lock that switches between transmitting or not transmitting a door opening operation to the latch mechanism according to a rotational position; and a motor that drives the lever lock; a first switch that detects a rotational position of the lever lock; a second switch that detects a rotational position of the latch; and a connecting unit that electrically connects the connecting portion to the motor, the first switch and the second switch.

Provided is an outer handle device for a vehicle door includes an outer handle and a cover. The outer handle includes a handle body that is disposed outside an outer panel of the vehicle door and extends in a front-rear direction of a vehicle. The cover is configured to cover, from an outside of the vehicle door, a cylinder lock located in a position adjacent to a first end of the handle body. The cover is configured to be attached to the outer panel and has an extension part, and the outer handle is turnable between a non-operation position and an operation position. While the outer handle is in the non-operation position, the extension part is engaged with a first end of the handle body and overlaps the first end of the handle body in a side view. While the outer handle is in the operation position, the engagement between the extension part and the first end of the handle body is released, and the cover is attachable to and detachable from the outer panel.
