Abstract
An opening and closing device (10), such as for a charging port on electric vehicles or a fuel filler neck on vehicles with a combustion engine, has a flap unit (68), an actuator (30) for moving the flap unit (68), and a housing (16). The flap unit (68) has at least one guide element (114) which engages in a guide slot (126, 130) formed in the housing (16). The flap unit (68) is coupled to a cross-piece or traverse that can be moved by the actuator by means of at least one coupling element.
Claims13
An opening and closing device (10), comprising:
- a flap unit (68),
- an actuator (30) for moving the flap unit (68),
- a housing (16), and
- an emergency release device (26),
- wherein the flap unit (68) has at least one guide element (114) which engages in a guide slot (126, 130) formed in the housing (16),
- wherein the flap unit (68) is coupled by at least one coupling element to a traverse (94) and the actuator (30) is configured to displace the traverse (94), and
- wherein the emergency release device (26) is connected to the traverse (94), said emergency release device (26) comprising a pulling device having a pull tab (140) attached to an emergency release slide (148) that accommodates a return spring (144).
An opening and closing device for covering a charging port or a fuel filler neck of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a housing in which at least one guide slot is formed;
- a flap unit having at least one guide element adapted to movably engage in the at least one guide slot;
- and
- an actuator housed in the housing;
- and
- a traverse coupled directly or indirectly to the flap unit, wherein the traverse is displaced by the actuator to in turn move the flap unit along the at least one guide slot;
- and
- a pulling device having a pull tab and a return spring, said pulling device being connected to the traverse and configured as an emergency release for the flap unit.
