Abstract
An actuator integrated push opener includes a fuel inlet door of a vehicle to open and close a vehicle fuel inlet. A housing accommodates a motor having a worm mounted on a rotational shaft and has a guide hole formed. A striker is mounted in the housing, penetrates through the guide hole, and is connected to the fuel inlet door. A gear is mounted in the housing and engaged with the worm. A catch has an inserting protrusion which is inserted into a through-hole formed in the striker and mounted in the housing to rotate based on a rotation center of the gear. A gear spring is provided in the catch so that the catch constantly rotates in a direction toward the striker. A stopper is mounted to the gear to limit the rotation of the catch.

An actuator integrated push opener, comprising:
- a fuel inlet door of a vehicle to open and close a fuel inlet of the vehicle;
- a housing accommodating a motor having a worm mounted on a rotational shaft and have a guide hole formed toward the fuel inlet door;
- a striker mounted in the housing, the striker penetrating through the guide hole and connected to the fuel inlet door so that a length of the striker changes by an external force applied to the fuel inlet door;
- a gear mounted in the housing and engaged with the worm;
- a catch having an inserting protrusion which is inserted into a through-hole formed in the striker and mounted in the housing to rotate based on a rotation center of the gear;
- a gear spring provided in the catch so that the catch constantly rotates in a direction toward the striker;
- and
- a stopper mounted to the gear to limit the rotation of the catch.

- a fuel inlet door of a vehicle to open and close a fuel inlet of the vehicle;
- a housing configured to have a guide hole formed toward the fuel inlet door;
- a striker mounted in the housing and penetrating through the guide hole, the striker connected to the fuel inlet door so that a length of the striker varies by an external force applied to the fuel inlet door;
- a catch continuously rotating toward the striker and fastened to a through-hole formed on the striker to limit a movement of the striker;
- and
- a gear separating the catch from the striker by rotating the catch in a reverse direction.
