Actuator, charging port cover, and vehicle

Abstract

An actuator includes a motor, a transmission mechanism, a clutch mechanism, and an output shaft. The motor is connected to the clutch mechanism in a transmission manner through the transmission mechanism. The clutch mechanism is connected to the output shaft. The transmission mechanism is power-coupled to the output shaft by using the clutch mechanism when the motor drives the output shaft to rotate. The transmission mechanism is power-decoupled from the output shaft by using the clutch mechanism when an external force drives the output shaft to rotate. The charging port cover including the foregoing actuator has a function of preventing the charging port cover from being opened by mistake. A user needs to apply an external force to manually open the charging port cover when the motor fails and the charging port cover cannot be normally opened, to effectively prevent the charging port cover from being opened by mistake.
