The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention, as many examples may exist.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The fuel door opening and closing device for a vehicle according to the present invention has a structure in which an existing actuator and a push opener are integrated.

To this end, the fuel door opening and closing device according to the present invention, the housing 10 is installed behind the door lock 110 of the fuel door, the motor 20 and the pop-up lever inserted in the housing 10 as shown in FIG. 30 and pop-up spring 40.

The motor 20 is installed in the housing 10 to be moved up and down along the housing guide 12 to be described later, and has a lock lever 22 having a straight shape at the upper end, and a motor mounting part 24 at the lower end. ) Is extended.

The locking lever 22 is controlled to rotate by driving the motor 20, and is rotated at 90 ° intervals to lock and unlock the lock lever 22.

To this end, the lock lever 22 is positioned in the door lock 110 recessed in one side of the fuel door through the upper end of the housing 10, the lock lever 22 is unlocked in the door lock 110 The communication hole 112 of the linear shape that can penetrate) is formed.

Accordingly, the locking lever 22 is pushed when the lock lever 22 is rotated by the driving of the motor 20 to release the lock and penetrates the communication hole 112.

The motor mounting portion 24 is formed in a hollow form by extending from the bottom of the motor 20, as shown in Figure 3, the bottom inclined surface is inclined at regular intervals by being repeatedly connected to the lower end of the inclined V-shape. .

In addition, a mounting block 26 protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the motor mounting unit 24 so that the sliding block 32 of the pop-up lever 30 can be pushed and rotated more reliably when the motor 20 descends. .

The mounting block 26 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the motor mounting portion 24 at regular intervals, and the lower inclined surface is inclined in a V shape so as to rotate by sliding the sliding block 32.

Here, the mounting block 26 is arranged to match the V-shape of the motor mounting portion 24.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the bottom inclined surfaces of the motor mounting part 24 and the mounting block 26 are formed in a V-shape, but may be simply formed as an inclined slope obliquely to one side.

In addition, the pop-up lever 30 is disposed at the lower end of the motor 20 and installed in a structure in which the lower end thereof is elastically supported by the pop-up spring 40, and has a diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the motor mounting part 24. On the outer circumferential surface, a plurality of sliding blocks 32 protrude.

The sliding block 32 has a structure having an inclined top slope inclined to one side and is positioned below the motor mounting part 24 and the mounting block 26.

As shown in FIG. 3, the sliding block 32 is formed to have a thickness thicker than the sum of the thicknesses of the motor mounting part 24 and the mounting block 26, and accordingly, the guide groove of the housing guide 12 described later. The structure can be moved up and down only through the 14 and cannot move up and down by the inner guide groove 16.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting block 26 is provided with a number corresponding to twice the sliding block 32, and one mounting block 26 for each two sliding blocks 32 is a sliding block 32 ) Will be located below.

In addition, a housing guide 12 for guiding the lifting movement of the mounting block 26 and the sliding block 32 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the housing 10.

The housing guide 12 protrudes from an inner circumferential surface of the housing 10, and a plurality of guide grooves 14 and inner guide grooves 16 are formed along an inner circumference of the housing guide 12. The guide groove 16 is located in a structure disposed between the guide grooves 14.

Here, the guide groove 14 is formed in a fine structure to the inner circumferential surface of the housing 10 is provided with a depth capable of lifting up and down the sliding block 32 as well as the motor mounting portion 24, the inner guide groove 16 Only the motor mounting portion 24 is formed to a depth capable of lifting up and down.

That is, the housing guide 12 is formed by alternately arranging the guide grooves 14 and the inner guide grooves 16, and the guide grooves 14 are capable of lifting and lowering both the motor mounting portion 24 and the sliding block 32. And, the inner guide groove 16 is made of a structure capable of lifting only the motor mounting portion 24.

The housing guide 12 is formed in a structure in which the upper end of the guide groove 14 and the inner guide groove 16 is blocked to limit the upward movement height of the motor 20 so that the locking lever 22 pops up predetermined. The lower end of the guide groove 14 and the inner guide groove 16 is formed in an open structure to allow the sliding block 32 of the pop-up lever 30 which is rotated to enter and exit.

The housing guide 12 has a latching jaw 18 to which the sliding block 32 is fixed to each of the lower surfaces of the housing guide 12 before and after the guide groove 14. For this purpose, the lower surface of the housing guide 12 is inclined obliquely to one side. These repetitive connections form a lower inclined surface that is inclined like a sawtooth.

Accordingly, the sliding block 32 of the pop-up lever 30 is pushed and rotated by the motor mounting part 24 to move up and down along the housing guide 12.

Hereinafter, the operating state of the fuel door opening and closing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the opening operation for opening the fuel door will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

When the user drives the motor 20 to rotate the locking lever 22 as shown in FIG. 3 (b) to unlock it, the user pushes the locking lever 22 to the inside of the door locking part 110 to unlock the motor 20. Move down.

Then, the descending motor mounting portion 24 and the mounting block 26 push the sliding block 32 to lower the pop-up lever 30, and thus the sliding block 32 fixed to the locking step 18 is As shown in (b) of FIG. 4, it is pushed by the lower inclined surface of the motor 20 (the lower inclined surface of the motor mounting part and the mounting block) while moving out of the locking step 18.

The moved pop-up lever 30 is popped up by the elastic force of the pop-up spring 40 as the sliding block 32 is located in the guide groove 14 as shown in (c) of Figure 4 and (d) and As the motor 20 moves upward by being pushed up by the pop-up lever 30, which moves upward along the guide groove 14, the locking lever 22 eventually moves upwards of the door locking part 110. It will pop up.

The fuel door can be opened using the lock lever 22 popped up in this way.

Meanwhile, an operation for locking the fuel door will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

When the user presses the lock lever 22 which is popped up while closing the fuel door, the motor 20 is lowered from the state of FIG. 5 (a) to FIG. 5 (b), and thus the guide groove 14 The sliding block 32 is pushed down by the motor mounting portion 24 and the mounting block 26.

When the lowered sliding block 32 exits the guide groove 14 as shown in (c) of FIG. 5, the sliding block 32 slides on the lower slope of the motor mounting portion 24 and the mounting block 26, thereby popping up. The lever 30 moves in rotation, and as a result, the sliding block 32 is positioned and fixed to the locking step 18 of the housing guide 12.

When the closing operation of the fuel door is completed as described above, the user drives the motor 20 to rotate the lock lever 22 as shown in FIG. 6A to complete the lock of the fuel door.

While the invention has been shown and described with respect to preferred embodiments thereof, the invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications may be made by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains. It includes all forms of embodiments.
