Abstract
A locking system for locking a lid of a vehicle including: a lid, a movement actuator for moving the lid, a lock having a roto-translating pin with a head suitable for being engaged in a seat of the lid, and an actuator of the lock that moves the roto-translating pin. The actuator has an electric motor and a motion reducer. The electric motor is suitably configured so as to rotate in a first rotational direction to move the roto-translating pin from a retracted position to an extracted position, and in a second rotational direction to move the roto-translating pin from the extracted position to the retracted position.
Claims14
A locking system comprising:
- a vehicle;
- a lid having a hinge connected to a portion of a body of said vehicle, said lid being movable between an open position and a closed position, said lid defining an opening when in the open position;
- a movement actuator mounted in the portion of the body adjacent to the hinge, said movement actuator adapted to move said lid from the closed position to the open position;
- a lock having a roto-translating pin with a head, the roto-translating pin being engaged in a seat of said lid in a position distal the hinge, said lock adapted to maintain said lid in the closed position;
- and
- an actuator connected to said lock so as to move the roto-translating pin from a retracted position to an extracted position, wherein said actuator comprises:
- an electric motor;
- and
- a motion reducer disposed between said electric motor and the roto-translating pin so as to cause a roto-translation movement to the roto-translating pin, said electric motor configured so as to rotate in a first rotational direction to move the roto-translating pin from the retracted position so as to push said lid from the closed position and in a second rotational direction so as to move the roto-translating pin from the extracted position to the retracted position so as to pull said lid towards the closed position.
