Abstract
A connection device for charging a battery device on a vehicle has an alternating current (AC) interface for receiving an AC plug and a direct current (DC) interface for receiving a DC plug. The DC interface has a cover flap mounted movably between a closed position that covers the DC interface and an open position that exposes the DC interface. The direct current interface has a latching mechanism with a latching means on the cover flap. The latching means locks with a mating latching means of the cover flap when in the open position. The mating latching means has an actuating section with which the DC plug makes a contact thereby unlocking the latching means of the latching mechanism when the DC plug is received in the DC interface.
Claims10
A connection device for charging a battery device of a vehicle, the connection device comprising:
- an alternating current (AC) interface for receiving an AC plug and a direct current (DC) interface for receiving a DC plug, the DC interface having a covering flap that is mounted in such a way that the covering flap can be moved between a closed position where the covering flap covers the DC interface, and a released position releases where the covering flap exposes the DC interface, the DC interface having a latching mechanism with a latching means on the covering flap, the latching means latches with a mating latching means of the covering flap in the released position, the mating latching means having an actuating section that is contacted by the DC plug when the DC plug is received in the DC interface said DC plug thereby releasing the latching means of the latching mechanism.
