Abstract

A charging connection device for a motor vehicle, at least one electromotor designed for driving the motor vehicle, including a charging cable, at its first end with a power supply plug for a household power supply socket and be connected with its second end at least indirectly to a battery of the motor vehicle; a storage compartment, in which the charging cable is received; a charging socket, which can be connected at least indirectly with the battery of the motor vehicle, and into which can be inserted a charging plug of a charging column; wherein the storage compartment includes the charging socket.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A charging connection device for a motor vehicle, with at least one electromotor designed for driving the motor vehicle, comprising:
a charging cable, which is provided at its first end with a power supply plug for a household charging socket, and which is configured to be at least indirectly connected at its second end with a battery of the motor vehicle;
a storage compartment, in which the charging cable is configured to be accommodated in its entirety;
a charging socket that is configured to be connected at least indirectly to the battery of the motor vehicle, the charging socket configured to accommodate an inserted charging plug of a charging column;
wherein the storage compartment further comprises the charging socket;
and the charging cable is provided at its second end with a charging socket plug, which is configured to be inserted into the charging socket.

2. The charging connection device according to claim 1 , wherein a control device is arranged between the power supply plug and the charging socket plug, the control device configured to be fastened in the storage compartment by means of a fastening device arranged in the storage compartment.

3. The charging connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the storage compartment has a receiving socket configured to receive the charging socket plug.

4. The charging connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the charging socket is adjustable between a first position, in which it is arranged for receiving the charging plug of the charging column and for receiving the charging socket opening designed for the charging socket plug, arranged substantially in a transverse direction (y) of the storage compartment, and a second position, in which the socket opening is arranged substantially in a longitudinal direction (x) of the storage compartment.

5. The charging connection device according to claim 4 , wherein the charging socket is arranged by a holding device, on a guide rail, along which the charging socket is movable between the first position and the second position.

6. The charging connection device according to claim 4 , wherein the charging connection device has an electric servo motor configured to allow the charging socket to be moved between the first position and the second position.

7. The charging connection device according to claim 6 , wherein the charging connection device has an actuating element arranged in the storage compartment or in the interior of the motor vehicle, configured to actuate the electric servo motor.

8. The charging connection device according to claim 6 , wherein the storage compartment is arranged in the motor vehicle, behind at least one of a radiator grill, a front bumper, or a rear bumper.

9. The charging connection device according to claim 6 , wherein a flap is arranged for opening and closing the storage compartment in a region of the motor vehicle outer skin of the motor vehicle.
