Fuel cell vehicle
A fuel cell vehicle includes a travel prohibition control unit. In the case where a lid sensor detects an open state of a lid, the travel prohibition control unit performs travel prohibition control to prohibit travel of the fuel cell vehicle. In the case where the number of shift control operations has reached a release number within release time, the travel prohibition control unit releases the travel prohibition control, and in the case where the number of shift control operations has not reached the release number within the release time, the travel prohibition control unit continues the travel prohibition control. The release number is two or more.
FUEL TANK CAP
A fuel tank cap includes: a cap body which opens and closes a fuel supply port of a fuel tank; a ring member which is disposed around the fuel supply port and is shaped so as to surround the cap body; and a hinge member which is coupled to the ring member to support the cap body in a turnable manner between a closed position and an open position. A first peripheral part of the ring member, which is opposed to an outer periphery of the cap body, has a larger dimension in a circumferential direction than a dimension of a second peripheral part of the hinge member, which is opposed to the outer periphery of the cap body. The ring member and the hinge member are made of mutually different materials.
Oiling or charging port assembly
The present disclosure relates to an energy replenishment port assembly, comprising: a housing seal made of an elastic material; a housing having an installation port, the housing seal being arranged around an edge of the installation port and extending from a reverse side of the edge of the installation port; and a receiving port component comprising a receiving port, the receiving port component being detachably installed on the installation port. The housing seal is configured to being pressed against a vehicle body to sealingly install the housing onto the vehicle body. The receiving port is configured to receive an energy replenishment connector.
Filling apparatus for a vehicle, and vehicle having such a filling apparatus
A filling apparatus for a vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle, includes a body flap, which forms an outer skin of the vehicle, at least in some sections, and is designed to be pivoted between a first position and a second position which is different from the first position. The body flap has an opening. A device opens and closes the opening by way of a pivotable cover element which is provided at the opening. A filler neck or a container, which is arranged in relation to the opening such that the filler neck or the container, or the container via the filler neck, can be filled with a fluid via the opening when the body flap is in the first position.
Charging Flap System and Motor Vehicle
A charging flap system for a motor vehicle that is at least partially operated electrically has a charging connection, which is arranged in a charging well, for electrically charging the motor vehicle, in particular a battery of the motor vehicle, a pivotable, outer covering flap which covers the charging well in a closed position and opens up same in an open position, and a pivotable, inner charging flap which opens up the charging connection in a charging position. The inner charging flap and the outer covering flap interact in such a manner that the outer covering flap and the inner charging flap are coupled to each other in a form-fitting manner in an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position.
FUEL CELL SHIP
A fuel cell ship includes a fuel cell that generates electric power by an electrochemical reaction of fuel, a propulsion device that generates propulsive force on a hull by electric power supplied from the fuel cell, a fuel supply pipe through which the fuel is supplied from a fuel tank housing the fuel to the fuel cell, a duct compartment that houses a part of the fuel supply pipe, a vent pipe that communicates with the duct compartment, and a fuel filling port that serves as an inlet for filling the fuel tank with the fuel. The fuel filling port is provided in the duct compartment.
DEVICE FOR OPENING AND CLOSING A CHARGING SOCKET
A device for opening and closing a charging socket includes a flap element. Using a shaft, the flap element is movably disposed on a housing of the charging socket, and the shaft comprises a first notch and a second notch. The device further includes a retaining element. The retaining element is mechanically attached to the flap element and comprises a bolt. Using the shaft, the flap element is transferrable from a closed position to an opened position. In the closed position of the flap element, the bolt of the retaining element is latched in the first notch of the shaft. In the opened position of the flap element, the bolt of the retaining element is latched in the second notch of the shaft.
SOCKET ASSEMBLY
A socket assembly may include a socket for receiving a plug, a flap for covering the socket, wherein said flap is rotatable about a shaft between a closed position and an open position and is biased into the closed position, a locking mechanism that locks the flap in the open position, and a release mechanism that releases the locking mechanism, when a plug is inserted in the socket. After a release of the locking mechanism, the locking mechanism can be activated only after the flap has been rotated from the open position to the closed position to an extent of at least 30%.
Refueling or charging port door lock assembly
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.
Apparatus for opening and closing a lid of a vehicle
An apparatus (1) for opening and closing a lid (lid body) of a vehicle includes a linearly-movable shaft (10) supported by a housing (90) such that the shaft (10) is linearly movable along, and nonrotatable around, an axial center (X10); and a rotary shaft (30) supported by the linearly-movable shaft (10) such that it is linearly movable along and rotatable around the axial center (X10). A stopper (50) is supported by the housing (90) and is displaceable between a blocking position at which the stopper (50) prohibits the linearly-movable shaft (10) from moving from a second position to a first position, and a nonblocking position at which the stopper (50) is separated from the linearly-movable shaft (10). The stopper (50) is biased toward the blocking position and displaces to the nonblocking position in response to a manual opening operation for displacing the lid to the open position.
