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 motor vehicle door latch device comprises a locking motor; a locking rotary member that can be rotated by the locking motor; a locking mechanism comprising a mechanical element that can be shifted to an unlock state or a lock state by rotation of the locking rotary member; a releasing motor; and an electric release lever pivotally mounted to a housing via a release shaft and rotated by the releasing motor to enable an engagement mechanism to be released regardless of a state of the locking mechanism. If an entering line along which a striker enters a striker entering groove of a body to engage with the engagement mechanism is defined as a striker entering line, a case for the locking motor is positioned above the striker entering line and a case for the releasing motor is positioned below the striker entering line.

A signal feedback device used for an automotive locking apparatus is provided, comprising a car power supply, a motor, a transmission, an actuating lever, a signal feedback module, and a body control module. The signal feedback module is provided with a first feedback circuit, a second feedback circuit, and a third feedback circuit. The first feedback circuit is connected in series to a first resistor and a first on-off switch. The second feedback circuit is connected in series to a second resistor and a second on-off switch. The third feedback circuit is connected in series to a third resistor. The actuating lever is provided with a touch spot, and the corresponding circuits are turned on under driving of linear movement of the actuating lever, to provide different signal feedbacks. When the locking apparatus is abnormal or is powered off, an abnormal state signal can be detected, and the body control module can make logic judgment under the different states according to different measured resistance values, so that the situation of misjudgment caused by confusion of signals is avoided.

An electronic two-wheeler lock includes a latch element movable between an open position and a closed position, a blocking mechanism that blocks the latch element in a latched state against departing from the closed position and releases it for a departure from the closed position in an unlatched state, an electric drive unit configured to move the blocking mechanism into the unlatched state, and a control unit configured to control the drive unit. The two-wheeler lock has a modular structure and includes a drive module and a communication unit, with the drive module including a module housing in which at least the blocking mechanism, the drive unit, and the control unit are received. The control unit is configured to receive control signals from the communication unit in encrypted form and to control the drive unit in response to the control signals.

A power child lock device includes a rotation driving mechanism, a switch link connected to the rotation driving means so as to be moved vertically by a rotational force of the rotation driving means, an inside handle lever cooperatively connected to an inside handle installed in a door of a vehicle, a release lever connected to a door catch and configured to lock or release the door catch, and a power child lever configured to selectively connect or separate the inside handle lever and the release lever by being moved by the switch link.

A method of deactivating a secondary lock feature of a vehicle includes sensing a movement of an interior door handle, and determining a status of the secondary lock feature to ascertain whether the secondary lock feature is active. The method includes starting a timer to measure an elapsed time since sensing the movement of the interior door handle, sensing an environmental condition of an interior passenger compartment of the vehicle with a sensor, and setting an unlock delay time based on the environmental condition. When the secondary lock feature is disposed in an active state and the elapsed time period is greater than or equal to the unlock delay time, the method includes automatically generating a control signal to thereby deactivate the secondary lock feature.

Formation of a pool of liquid around a locking pin is inhibited when a protector is provided around the locking pin. The protector is provided with projecting side surfaces that are connected to the upper surface and the lower surface and are provided above and below the locking pin. The projecting side surfaces project to the inside of the recess to an extent greater than the maximum protrusion length of the locking pin at which the locking pin protrudes to the inside of the recess to the maximum extent. The lower surface of the protector is sloped downward toward the inside of the recess from the rear side wall on which the locking pin is provided.
