Vehicle Side Wing Anti-collision System
Disclosed is a vehicle side wing anti-collision system, including a telescopic assembly fixed on a vehicle frame; and a collision panel located in a groove of a vehicle side body and provided correspondingly to the telescopic assembly. The groove is provided with a connection hole and the telescopic assembly is extended out of the connection hole towards two sides in a transverse direction of the vehicle to drive the collision panel to extend out of the groove till protruding from the vehicle side body when the collision panel is subjected to a collision. Through the telescopic assembly and the collision panel, protection layers are formed on two sides of the vehicle, and thus the anti-collision ability of the vehicle side wing is enhanced.
Driving device for energy replenishment port visor member
This driving device for energy replenishment port visor member includes: a visor member which advances/retracts between an advanced position for covering, from above, a replenishment port exposed at a vehicle-body-side opening and used for replenishing a vehicle with energy, and a retracted position where the visor member is retracted from above the replenishment port; a visor driving unit which advances/retracts the visor member between the advanced position and the retracted position; a gun connection detection unit which detects whether or not an energy replenishment gun is connected to the replenishment port; and a control unit which causes the visor driving unit to execute advancing-driving for advancing the visor member from the retracted position to the advanced position, when the gun connection detection unit has detected that the energy replenishment gun is connected to the replenishment port in a state in which the visor member is at the retracted position.
POWER TRANSMITTING COMPONENT WITH FORK ACTUATOR
A power transmitting component having a actuator with a lead screw, which is driven by a motor and a transmission, a pusher assembly driven by the lead screw, and a clutch fork. Translation of the pusher coordinates movement of the clutch fork along its axis.
SELF-UNLOADING MODULAR CONVEYOR DEVICE FOR STANDARD TRAILERS, TRUCKS, AND SIMILAR TRANSPORT VEHICLES, A METHOD OF CONVERTING A STANDARD TRAILER, TRUCK, OR SIMILAR TRANSPORT VEHICLE INTO A SELF-UNLOADING ONE; AND A METHOD OF MOVING AND SELF-UNLOADING LOOSE MATERIAL USING SAID SELF-UNLOADING MODULAR CONVEYOR DEVICE
A self-unloading modular conveyor device designed for standard trailers, trucks, and similar transport vehicles, enabling them to transport and unload loose materials efficiently. The device generally includes a chassis, conveyor, motor, left door, right door, and front door, with optional components like a hydraulic power unit and a self-driven sandbagging device. Engineered for easy installation on the bed of a standard transport vehicle without permanent modifications, the device can be removed when not in use. The invention also provides methods for converting standard trailers, trucks, or similar transport vehicles into self-unloading ones; self-unloading loose material from the beds of standard transport vehicles; and moving and unloading loose material using the self-unloading modular conveyor device. This invention enables trailers, trucks, and similar transport vehicles to be suitable for efficiently transporting and self-unloading loose materials utilizing a conveyor mechanism.
ACTUATOR
An actuator applies a reaction force to a pedal lever to be depressed by a human driver. The actuator includes an electric motor, a speed reducer mechanism, an actuator lever and an angle detector device. The speed reducer mechanism includes: a motor gear that rotates integrally with the electric motor; an output gear that rotate integrally with an output shaft; and an intermediate gear installed between the motor gear and the output gear. The actuator lever is driven by the output shaft and contacts the pedal lever. The angle detector device detects a rotational angle of the intermediate gear. The intermediate gear has: a large gear portion, which meshes with the motor gear; and a small gear portion, which meshes with the output gear. The small gear portion is integrally formed in one-piece with the large gear portion.
Controllable differential system and vehicle having the controllable differential system
A vehicle has a frame; a motor connected to the frame; a rear drivetrain connected to the frame; a front drivetrain connected to the frame and having a lockable front differential; a manual override control; and a controller operatively connected to the lockable front differential and to the manual override control. The controller is adapted for controlling the motor to limit a speed of the motor when the front differential is locked and the manual override control is not activated.
Motor vehicle having a coupling mechanism and a functionally secured parking lock device
A motor vehicle has an electric drive machine for driving the motor vehicle and a coupling mechanism which can be switched at least between a coupling position, in which the electric drive machine is coupled to a drive wheel so as to transmit torque, and a decoupling position in which the electric drive machine is decoupled from the drive wheel. A parking lock device has at least one parking lock element that can be moved between a parking lock position, in which the at least one parking lock element at least indirectly blocks a rotation of the drive wheel, and an unlocking position in which the at least one parking lock element releases the rotation of the drive wheel. An actuation device with an actuator is designed to actuate a clutch of the coupling mechanism, which clutch has at least one switching element and is used to switch between the coupling position and the decoupling position, and is designed to move the at least one parking lock element between the parking lock position and the unlocking position. The switching element has a retaining region preventing the parking lock element from moving into the parking lock position as long as the lock has not been adjusted to the coupling position.
Apparatus for exposing and covering a charging port of a vehicle
An apparatus for exposing and covering a charging port having a cover, which is movable between a closed position, in which the charging port is covered by the cover, and an open position, in which the charging port is exposed by the cover, using a combined drive-and-guide device, which is moved inwardly from its closed position in relation to an outer skin comprising the charging port. In order to simplify the apparatus for exposing and covering a charging port having a cover, the combined drive-and-guide device includes a gearwheel/rack combination operatively connected to the cover and having two racks arranged in parallel and meshing with a respective gearwheel. The two gearwheels are electromotively driven about a common axis of rotation.
Locking device for locking charging, fueling, or service flaps
A locking device enables locking a charging, fueling, or service flap on a compartment. The flap is reversibly movable between a closed position and an open position. The locking device includes a flap lock for locking the flap in its closed position. The flap lock has a locking position, in which the flap lock locks the flap, and a release position in which the flap is moveable in relation to the flap lock. A first transfer shaft is connected to the flap lock such that the flap lock is moveable by a movement of the first transfer shaft between the locking position and the release position. A pushing element is connected to the first transfer shaft and configured so as to push the flap out of its closed position away from the charging compartment after the flap lock is transferred into its release position.
