Actuating Mechanism and Vehicle

Abstract

An actuating mechanism for driving a driven element to move. The actuating mechanism includes a driving element and a transmission device. The driving element provides a positive driving torque. The transmission device controllably connects the driving element and the driven element and includes a first clutch and a second clutch arranged in series. The first clutch is designed to be in an engaged state or in a disengaged state depending on whether a torque to be transmitted is less than or greater than a first torque threshold, and the second clutch is designed and arranged such that the second clutch is in an engaged state or a disengaged state depending on whether the torque to be transmitted is less than or greater than a second torque threshold when the driven member is subjected to a reverse driving torque in a first rotational direction, and that the second clutch remains in the engaged state when the driven element is subjected to a reverse driving torque in a second rotational direction. The second torque threshold is less than the first torque threshold.
