Motorized covering device

A motor-driven covering device for covering and exposing a charging connection arranged on a body of an electric vehicle with respect to a vehicle exterior, comprising:

• a cover flap for covering the charging connection in a closed state and for exposing the charging connection in an open state,
• a motor operatively connected to the cover flap for driving an opening movement and a closing movement of the cover flap, the motor having an axis of rotation,
• a power transmission device for transmitting a motor power of the motor for carrying out the opening movement and the closing movement of the cover flap,
• a guide element for guiding the cover flap along a movement path during the opening movement and the closing movement of the cover flap,
• wherein the motor-driven covering device is configured in such a way that the cover flap can be moved at least partially along the body of the electric vehicle during the opening and closing movement, driven by the motor, wherein a rotary movement of the motor can be transmitted by the power transmission device in order to execute the opening movement and the closing movement of the cover flap, wherein a longitudinal axis of the power transmission device is arranged on or parallel to the axis of rotation of the motor and is in engagement with the motor, wherein the guide element is formed in a plurality of parts and has at least one carrier element for fixing the cover flap and a base element, which is operatively connected to the carrier element, for positioning between the motor and the one carrier element, wherein the carrier element comprises a front surface unit and a guide tube arranged at the front surface unit for receiving a control tube of the base element.
