Abstract

A system comprising a cover for closing a charging opening of an electric vehicle in which a charging socket for charging a driving battery of the electric vehicle is located. The cover is mounted laterally next to the charging opening, on an inner side of the body part, so as to be pivotable about a first pivot axis by way of a hinge arm and can be pivoted by way of an electromechanical actuator. For activating the actuator, the invention provides a pivotable transfer body, which multiplies a path of the cover and activates the actuator by way of a push button.

Claims (17)

1 . A system, comprising a cover for covering a charging connection in a charging bay body of an in particular at least partially electric motor vehicle, the cover being movable so that the cover can be moved back and forth between a closed position, in which the cover covers the charging bay body, and an open position, in which the cover exposes the charging bay body, the cover including an outer side and an inner side, the system comprising an electrical actuator for moving the cover, and an electrical switching unit for activating the actuator, and the electrical switching unit being actuatable by a force on the outer side of the cover in the closed position thereof and activating the actuator for moving the cover into the open position, wherein a movable multiplication member is disposed between the electrical switching unit and the cover, the multiplication member being moved from the closed position inwardly by a movement of the cover, extending the movement, and actuating the electrical switching unit.

2 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein

the cover can be pivoted about a first pivot axis.

3 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein

the multiplication member comprises a transfer body, which can be pivoted about a second pivot axis and which is pivoted by the cover about the second pivot axis in an actuating direction when the cover is being moved from the closed position inwardly so that the transfer body actuates the electrical switching unit.

4 . The system according to claim 3 , wherein

the transfer body comprises a first lever arm, on which the cover engages, and a second lever arm, by way of which the transfer body actuates the electrical switching unit, and in that the second lever arm is longer than the first lever arm.

5 . The system according to claim 3 , wherein

that the transfer body comprises an angled section, spaced apart from the second pivot axis for pivoting the transfer body together with the cover and/or an angled section for actuating the electrical switching unit.

6 . The system according to claim 3 , wherein the system comprises a pivot angle limiter for the transfer body, which limits a pivot angle of the transfer body about the second pivot axis.

7 . The system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the cover, at the inner side thereof, comprises an elevation, serving as an actuating element, which projects in the direction of the transfer body, for pivoting the transfer body about the second pivot axis so as to actuate the electrical switching unit, the elevation of the cover corresponding to a protrusion projecting from the transfer body in the direction of the elevation.

8 . The system according to claim 5 , wherein a distance between the second pivot axis and the protrusion at the transfer body is smaller than a distance between the second pivot axis and the angled section of the transfer body for actuating the electrical switching unit.

9 . The system according to

claim 2 , wherein the first pivot axis and the second pivot axis are stationary and/or parallel to one another.

10 . The system according to

claim 2 , characterized in that wherein the cover, at the inner side thereof, comprises a curved hinge arm, the hinge arm being pivotable about the first pivot axis and, as a result, the cover being pivotable back and forth between the open position and the closed position.
