Self-propelled working device
A self-propelled working device has a housing and an operating element arranged on the housing. A pivot bearing is arranged on the housing. A lid is pivotably arranged on the housing so as to pivot about a pivot axis of the lid, wherein the lid has a closed state in which the lid covers the operating element and an open state enabling access to the operating element. The lid has a bearing section interacting with the pivot bearing, wherein the bearing section and the pivot bearing define the pivot axis of the lid. A first Hall sensor is arranged in the housing and monitors a pivot position of the lid. A first magnet is arranged on the bearing section of the lid. The first magnet rotates when the lid pivots about the pivot axis and the magnetic field of the first magnet is detected by the first Hall sensor.
1. A self-propelled working device comprising:
at least one propelling drive;

at least one pivot bearing arranged on the housing;
at least one lid pivotably arranged on the housing so as to pivot about a pivot axis of the least one lid, wherein the at least one lid comprises a closed state in which the at least one lid covers the at least one operating element and an open state enabling access to the at least one operating element;
the at least one lid comprising a bearing section interacting with the at least one pivot bearing, wherein the bearing section and the at least one pivot bearing define the pivot axis of the at least one lid;
at least one first Hall sensor arranged in the housing and configured to monitor a pivot position of the at least one lid;
at least one first magnet arranged on the bearing section of the at least one lid, wherein the at least one first magnet is rotated when the at least one lid pivots about the pivot axis of the at least one lid and wherein the magnetic field of the at least one first magnet is detected by the at least one first Hall sensor.
2. The working device according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of the first Hall sensor are arranged in the housing and redundantly detect the magnetic field of the at least one first magnet.
3. The working device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a stop switch arranged on the housing and comprising at least one second magnet;
at least one second Hall sensor arranged in the housing, wherein a position of the stop switch is monitored by the at least one second Hall sensor, wherein the at least one second Hall sensor detects the magnetic field of the at least one second magnet.
4. The working device according to claim 3 , wherein at least two of said second Hall sensor are arranged in the housing that redundantly detect the magnetic field of the at least one second magnet.
5. The working device according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one second magnet has a spacing of less than 5 cm relative to the at least one first magnet.
6. The working device according to claim 3 , further comprising a printed circuit board arranged in the housing, wherein the at least one first Hall sensor and the at least one second Hall sensor are arranged on the printed circuit board.
7. The working device according to claim 3 , wherein the stop switch comprises a section that at least partially extends across the bearing section of the at least one lid.
8. The working device according to claim 7 , wherein the pivot bearing comprises a receptacle comprising an opening and wherein the stop switch at least partially covers the opening of the receptacle.
9. The working device according to claim 6 , further comprising a movably supported cover and a detection device arranged in the housing, wherein a position of the cover is monitored by the detection device and wherein the detection device comprises at least one third Hall sensor.
10. The working device according to claim 9 , further comprising a printed circuit board arranged in the housing, wherein the at least one first Hall sensor, the at least one second Hall sensor, and the at least one third Hall sensor are arranged together on the printed circuit board.
