Anti-Sticking Device of Inlet Actuator - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17741603 titled 'Anti-Sticking Device of Inlet Actuator

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an embodiment device that includes a housing, an actuator, a drive shaft, a lever arm, and a brush unit. The device is designed to remove debris between the housing and the lever arm while in operation.

  • The device includes a housing, actuator, drive shaft, lever arm, and brush unit.
  • The actuator is operated based on the connection state of a charging plug.
  • The drive shaft rotates in conjunction with the actuator's operation.
  • The lever arm is connected to the drive shaft and rotates with it.
  • The brush unit is seated on the lever arm and removes debris between the housing and the lever arm during operation.

Potential Applications

  • Charging devices with removable plugs.
  • Electronic devices with charging ports.
  • Devices with moving parts that require debris removal.

Problems Solved

  • Accumulation of debris between the housing and lever arm.
  • Potential damage to the device due to debris build-up.
  • Inefficient charging or operation of the device due to debris interference.

Benefits

  • Improved device performance and longevity.
  • Enhanced charging efficiency.
  • Reduced risk of damage from debris accumulation.


Original Abstract Submitted

An embodiment device includes a housing, an actuator mounted in the housing, the actuator configured to be operated in response to a connection state of a charging plug, a drive shaft configured to be rotated in conjunction with an operation of the actuator, a lever arm rotatably provided outside the housing and connected to the drive shaft to be rotated together with the drive shaft, and a brush unit seated on the lever arm and configured to remove debris between the housing and the lever arm while being in contact with the housing during operation of the lever arm.
