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.

A vehicle includes an image acquisition unit, a cap provided on a body of the vehicle and configured to open and close a replenishing port for replenishing an energy source, a driving unit allowing the cap to be separated or connected from/to the body, and a controller configured to determine an intention of a user to replenish the energy source on the basis of an image acquired by the image acquisition unit, and control the driving unit such that the cap is automatically separated from the body in response to determining that the intention of the user to replenish the energy source exists.

The present disclosure relates to a charging, fueling, or service flap (100). The charging, fueling, or service flap (100) is reversibly movable, and in particular pivotable, by way of an actuator between a closed position and an open position relative to the charging, fueling, or service compartment. The charging, fueling, or service flap (100) includes a carrier (102) that can be pivotally attached to a charging, fueling, or service compartment; and an actuating apparatus (104) having an actuator (108), which covers the carrier (102) at least partially, in particular over its full surface, wherein the actuator (108) can be moved relative to the carrier (102) between a resting position and an actuation position to generate an actuation signal for opening or closing the charging, fueling, or service flap (100) when the actuator (108) is moved into the actuation position.

Proposed is a complex clutch apparatus which includes a rotating block provided with a central shaft extending upward and an upward inclined protrusion part which surrounds a lower portion of the central shaft and is spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the central shaft, a C-shaped plate spring which surrounds an outer circumferential surface of the upward inclined protrusion part and is in elastically close contact with the outer side surface of the upward inclined protrusion part, a clutch gear provided with a downward inclined protrusion part press-fitted between the central shaft and the upward inclined protrusion part, and a holding protrusion inserted between opposite ends of the C-shaped plate spring in a longitudinal direction thereof; and an elastic body which is fixedly coupled to the central shaft and applies a downward elastic force to an upper surface of the clutch gear.

The drive body can be disposed within the cavity. The apparatus can include a spring. The spring can be at least partially disposed between the anchor and the drive body. The apparatus can include a shaft to interface with the drive body. The shaft can translate the anchor. The spring of the barrel cam profile can rotate the anchor between the first position and the second position.

A method for detecting movement of a vehicle body component moveable by an electric motor having a rotor and a three-phase stator, and a motor vehicle. The method includes: loading two stator phases with a pulse-width-modulated voltage and maintaining a third stator phase at a free-floating state; monitoring the third stator phase as a measuring point for an inductive voltage divider formed using the two stator phases; and detecting movement of the vehicle body component when an electric signal at a measuring point or a variable derived from the electric signal exceeds a specified threshold value. The motor vehicle includes a control device that is operable to perform the method.
