A door opening and closing apparatus includes: a body defining an opening and an interior space, the opening being open toward the outside of a vehicle body and the interior space defined inside the vehicle body so as to be connected to the opening; a door configured to open and close the opening; a guide part disposed in the interior space and guiding the door such that the door moves in a first direction and a direction opposite to the first direction, the first direction being a direction from the outside of the vehicle body to the inside of the vehicle body; and a transport part disposed in the interior space and that moves the door in a second direction and a direction opposite to the second direction.

A door lock assembly includes a housing having a hollow structure, a lifting shaft provided inside the housing, a driving spring, and a buffering device. A top end of the lifting shaft is configured for assembling a refueling or charging port flap, the lifting shaft being slidably engaged with the housing along a first portion and threadably engaged with the housing along a second portion. One end of the driving spring is fixed and the other end abuts against the lifting shaft for driving the lifting shaft to move relative to the housing. The buffering device provides a buffering function in the when the lifting shaft is threadably engaged with the housing.

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.

Provided are a seamless charging flap opening/closing device and a vehicle including the same. A charging flap cover is additionally provided with a pop-up function to also function as an opening/closing door for an air channel of an air breather, such that the charging flap cover is integrated with the air breather to be unperceivable from the outside during driving and is only opened during charging to allow a battery to be charged. The single charging flap cover is used in common by a charging flap device and the air breather maintaining independent functions. The exterior quality of a product and the efficiency of use of a package is improved, a vehicle body has a distinctive novel exterior image, and the charging flap cover is easily matched adjacently to a moving part located adjacent thereto.

An actuating apparatus for opening and closing a cover in or on a vehicle has a blocking device for blocking the cover in a locked position. The blocking device has a transmission mechanism with a rotation part (64.1; 50) mounted rotatably and driveable by an actuator (34), and a blocking bar (62) which is operatively connected to the rotation part. The transmission mechanism converts a rotation movement of the rotation part into an axial movement of the blocking bar. The blocking bar is transferable with the aid of the rotation part from a release position into a blocking position. The transmission mechanism is self-locking so that, at least whenever the blocking bar is in the blocking position, the rotation part is not driveable via an axial movement of the blocking bar, and the rotation part prevents an axial movement of the blocking bar out of the blocking position.

A flap opening and closing mechanism includes a flap and a lock member. The flap includes a first engagement member, and is pivotally supported on a vehicle body side. The flap opens and closes an opening in an outer plate of a vehicle body. The lock member locks the flap. The lock member includes a body to be mounted on the vehicle body side, a swing member pivotally supported on the body, a second engagement member, and an adjustor. The second engagement member is engaged with the first engagement member, and provided in the swing member. The adjustor allows for a rotational movement of the body about a rotation shaft of the swing member to the vehicle body in a state where the body is temporarily fixed to the vehicle body side. The lock member locks the swing member at a position corresponding to the closing position of the flap.

A mechanism (1) for pivoting a charging or tank flap (2) on a charging or filler neck housing (3), which is accommodated or can be accommodated in a body component of a motor vehicle, wherein the mechanism (1) is configured, by superposing at least two at least temporarily simultaneous circular rotational movements having different rotation radii or at least one at least temporarily simultaneous circular rotational movement and at least one linear movement, to pivot the charging or tank flap (2) reversibly between a first orientation, in particular a closed position of the charging or tank flap (2), and a second orientation, in particular an open position of the charging or tank flap (2).

A device configured for opening and closing a charging door may include a guide rail mounted to be long in a charging hole in a longitudinal direction thereof, an actuator configured to provide a driving force, and a charging door engaged to the actuator and configured to be concealed and moved in the charging hole along the guide rail according to the driving force received from the actuator in a state of being closed to open the charging hole.

A flip cover actuation structure for actuating a flip cover includes a locking device, a rocker, and a driving device. The locking device locks and releases the flip cover. The rocker drives the flip cover to open and close. The driving device comprises a gear and an eccentric device. The driving device is configured to rotate the gear and the eccentric device. The gear drives the rocker. The eccentric device drives the locking device.

A closing device for a filler port comprises an inlet box configured to form the filler port; a lid configured to rotate about a first rotating shaft that is fixed to the inlet box, such as to open and close a surface of the inlet box; and a fuel passage-forming portion configured to form a fuel passage. The lid includes a plate-like lid main body portion configured to rotate about the first rotating shaft, and an open-close mechanism provided on an inner side of the lid main body portion as a separate body from the lid main body portion and configured to be rotatable about the first rotating shaft such as to open and close an opening. When the lid is opened from a closed position, the lid main body portion and the open-close mechanism are opened integrally. This configuration suppresses dirt or the like adhering to a surface of the open-close mechanism for the filler port from entering a fuel tank.
