AI Technical Summary
The existing locking actuator's sealing ring, positioned between the locking rod and the locking cavity, affects the relative movement between the locking rod and the locking cavity, resulting in poor sealing performance and failing to effectively prevent moisture or liquid from entering.
Design a retractable sealing sleeve with multiple pleated layers on the outer wall and a through hole at the bottom layer. The sealing sleeve is fixed between the locking cavity and the locking rod. The pleated layers can be folded and unfolded to cooperate with the movement of the locking rod. The through hole at the bottom layer is used to balance the air pressure and evaporate small water droplets or steam.
It achieves an effective seal at the connection between the locking rod and the locking cavity, preventing liquid and rainwater from entering, while reducing the pressure required and evaporating small water droplets and steam, thus improving the reliability and flexibility of the seal.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a sealing and protection device for a locking actuator. Background Technology
[0002] Car fuel tank caps or charging port caps are equipped with locking actuators. Locking actuators generally have a locking chamber and a locking rod. The locking rod can extend and retract relative to the locking chamber. When the locking rod enters the locking chamber, the fuel tank cap or charging port cap is locked. When the locking rod extends out of the locking chamber, the fuel tank cap or charging port cap is closed. Therefore, there is a gap between the locking rod and the locking chamber. Other components are installed inside the locking chamber. In order to prevent other components from being affected by moisture or other liquids, a sealing ring is installed between the locking chamber and the locking rod. However, the installation of the sealing ring often affects the relative movement between the locking rod and the locking chamber. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides a sealing and protective device for a locking actuator.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0005] A sealing and protective device for a locking actuator includes a sealing sleeve that extends vertically. The lower end of the sealing sleeve is fixed to the outer wall of the locking cavity of the actuator, and the upper end is fixed to the outer wall of the locking rod. The sealing sleeve is a retractable sealing sleeve and has multiple outwardly protruding pleated layers on its outer wall. The pleated layers can be folded and unfolded together, and a through hole is provided at the bottom of one of the pleated layers.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the sealing sleeve is provided with an annular protrusion, and the edge of the annular protrusion is provided with a groove facing inward.
[0007] Preferably, the through hole is located at the bottom of the bottommost folded layer.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the sealing and protective device for the locking actuator of this utility model prevents liquid or rainwater from entering the connection between the locking rod and the locking cavity by fixing the lower end of the sealing sleeve to the outer wall of the locking cavity of the actuator and the upper end to the outer wall of the locking rod. The outer wall is provided with multiple outwardly protruding pleated layers, which can be folded and unfolded to match the extension and retraction of the locking rod. The bottom of the bottom pleated layer is provided with a through hole, which can balance the air pressure inside and outside the sealing sleeve. When the pleated layer increases, no additional pressing force is required when pressing the sealing sleeve, and small water droplets or steam can evaporate from the through hole.

[0010] Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the sealing and protection device for the locking actuator of this utility model.
[0011] Figure 3 This is an assembly and disassembly diagram of the sealing and protection device for the locking actuator of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0012] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0013] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a locking actuator sealing and protection device includes a sealing sleeve 1, which extends vertically. The lower end of the sealing sleeve 1 is fixed to the outer wall of the locking cavity 101 of the actuator 100, and the upper end is fixed to the outer wall of the locking rod 102, so as to prevent liquid or rainwater from entering the connection between the locking rod 102 and the locking cavity 101.
[0014] The sealing sleeve 1 is a retractable sealing sleeve, and its outer wall is provided with multiple layers of outwardly protruding pleated layers 11. The pleated layers 11 can be folded and unfolded to cooperate with the extension and retraction of the locking rod 102. When the locking rod 102 enters the locking cavity 101, the pleated layers 11 of the sealing sleeve 1 overlap each other. When the locking rod 102 extends out of the locking cavity 101, the pleated layers 11 of the sealing sleeve 1 are unfolded. The bottom of the bottom pleated layer 11 is provided with a through hole 111. The through hole 111 can balance the air pressure inside and outside the sealing sleeve 1. When the pleated layer 11 increases, no additional pressing force is required when pressing the sealing sleeve 1. At the same time, when there are small water droplets or steam, they can evaporate from the through hole 111, effectively protecting the locking actuator from interference by water vapor.
[0015] The bottom of the sealing sleeve 1 is provided with an annular protrusion 12, and the edge of the annular protrusion 12 is provided with a groove 121. The groove 121 serves a positioning function to prevent the sealing sleeve 1 from being installed backwards during assembly.
[0016] This utility model's locking actuator sealing and protection device prevents liquid or rainwater from entering the connection between the locking rod 102 and the locking cavity 101 by fixing the lower end of the sealing sleeve 1 to the outer wall of the locking cavity 101 of the actuator 100 and the upper end to the outer wall of the locking rod 102. The outer wall is provided with multiple layers of outwardly protruding pleated layers 11, which can be folded and unfolded to cooperate with the extension and retraction of the locking rod 102. The bottom of the bottom pleated layer 11 is provided with a through hole 111. The through hole 111 can balance the air pressure inside and outside the sealing sleeve 1. When the pleated layer 11 increases, no additional pressing force is required when pressing the sealing sleeve 1, and small water droplets or steam can evaporate from the through hole 111.
[0017] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments only illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
