Abstract
A roadway coverplate for an assembly of an inductive charging device for inductively charging a motor vehicle, may include a main body and a cover. The main body may have an upper side for parking a motor vehicle and a lower side facing away from the upper side. The main body, on the lower side, may include a depression configured to receive the assembly. The cover may cover the depression and may, outside the depression, bear on a bearing portion of the lower side. The cover may be coupled in a force-fitting manner to the lower side in the bearing portion and may be configured to conjointly support a load acting on the upper side.
Claims19
A roadway coverplate for an assembly of an inductive charging device for inductively charging a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a main body having an upper side for parking the motor vehicle and a lower side facing away from the upper side;
- the main body, on the lower side, including a depression;
- a cover covering the depression and which, outside the depression, bears on a bearing portion of the lower side;
- and
- a tray arranged in the depression, the tray including i) a main portion bearing on the lower side of the main body in the depression and ii) a collar projecting from the main portion and disposed at least partially outside the depression;
- wherein an interior space configured to receive the assembly is defined by and between the tray and the cover in a spacing direction extending from the upper side to the lower side;
- and
- wherein the cover is coupled in a force-fitting manner to the lower side in the bearing portion and is configured to conjointly support a load acting on the upper side.
A functional group, comprising:
- a roadway coverplate;
- an assembly of an inductive charging device;
- the roadway coverplate including:
- a main body having an upper side on which a motor vehicle is parkable and a lower side facing away from the upper side;
- the main body including a depression disposed in the lower side, the depression configured to receive the assembly;
- a cover bearing on a bearing portion of the lower side and covering the depression;
- and
- a tray received in the depression in a force-fitting manner, the tray including i) a main portion bearing on the lower side of the main body in the depression and ii) a collar projecting from the main portion, the collar disposed at least partially outside the depression and bearing on the bearing portion of the lower side;
- wherein an interior space is defined by and between the tray and the cover in a spacing direction extending from the upper side to the lower side;
- wherein the cover is coupled in a force-fitting manner to the bearing portion of the lower side of the main body and is configured to conjointly support a load acting on the upper side;
- and
- wherein the assembly is, at least in part, received in the interior space.
A roadway coverplate for a motor vehicle inductive charging device, comprising:
- a main body having an upper side on which a motor vehicle is parkable and a lower side facing away from the upper side;
- the main body including a depression disposed in the lower side;
- a planar, metal cover bearing on a bearing portion of the lower side of the main body and covering the depression;
- and
- a tray received in the depression in a force-fitting manner, the tray including i) a main portion arranged on the lower side of the main body in the depression and ii) a collar projecting from the main portion and disposed at least partially outside the depression;
- wherein the collar of the tray is arranged on the bearing portion of the main body between the bearing portion of the main body and the cover in a spacing direction extending from the upper side to the lower side;
- wherein the tray and the cover are structured as separate, individual components;
- wherein an interior space configured to receive an assembly of the motor vehicle inductive charging device is defined by and between the tray and the cover in the spacing direction;
- and
- wherein the cover is coupled in a force-fitting manner to the bearing portion of the lower side of the main body and is configured to conjointly support a load acting on the upper side.
