Motor-Driven Charging Device for Use in an Electric Vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a motor-driven charging device (2) for use in an electric vehicle, comprising a charging element (4), having a charging connection (6), a cover flap (10) for covering the charging connection (6) in a closed state of the motor-driven charging device (2), a motor (12) operatively connected to the cover flap (10) and the charging element (4) for driving an opening movement and a closing movement of the cover flap (10) and the charging element (4), a power transmission element (14) for transmitting a motor power of the motor (12) for carrying out the opening movement and the closing movement of the cover flap (10) and the charging element (4), a guide elements (16) for guiding the cover flap (10) and the charging element (4) along a movement path during the opening movement and the closing movement of the cover flap (10) and the charging element (4), the cover flap (10) and the charging element (4) being arranged relative to one another and kinematically coupled to one another in such a way that the cover flap (10) and the charging element (4) can be moved simultaneously in opposite directions during the opening movement and the closing movement in a motor-driven manner, such that the charging element (4) can be moved in an open state of the motor-driven charging device (2) into the position which the cover flap (10) has in the closed state of the motor-driven charging device (2).
