  • Publication number: 20250354428
    Abstract: A charging connection device includes a combined DC-AC charging connection with AC contact elements and DC contact elements. A cover arrangement has a covering position and at least two releasing positions. The releasing positions are each assigned to a charging mode. The cover arrangement includes at least one movably mounted cover element, which is movable between a covering position and at least one releasing position. In a first releasing position of the cover arrangement, the AC contact elements of the DC-AC charging connection are released and the DC contact elements of the DC-AC charging connection are covered by at least one of the cover elements. In the second releasing position of the cover arrangement, the AC contact elements and the DC contact elements of the DC-AC charging connection are released. In the covering position of the cover arrangement, the charging connections are covered by at least one cover element.

  • Publication number: 20250050756
    Abstract: A charging connection device for an electrically powered vehicle with two adjacently arranged charging connections having one of the charging connections being a combined DC-AC charging connection with two types of contact elements and a further charging connection is a DC charging connection or an AC charging connection or as a further DC-AC charging connection. The two adjacently arranged charging connections are electrically coupled via a common electrical path. The charging connection device includes at least two movably mounted charging connection covers, each assigned to one of charging connections. The charging connection covers each cover the corresponding charging connection in at least one covering position and at least partially release contact elements of the corresponding charging connection in at least one releasing position.

  • Publication number: 20250042275
    Abstract: A charging connection device, for an electric vehicle having two charging connections arranged next to each other, includes at least two moveably mounted charging connection covers respectively assigned to each charging connection. The charging connection covers respectively cover the corresponding charging connection in at least one first state and at least partially uncover the corresponding charging connection in at least one second state. A barrier arrangement prevents one of the charging connection covers from being transitioned from the at least one first state into the at least one second state if the other charging connection cover has the at least one second state, so that only one of the two charging connections at a time is accessible for contacting, while the other of the two charging connections is covered by the respective charging connection cover.

  • Publication number: 20250042276
    Abstract: A charging connection device, for an electrically drivable vehicle, includes two charging connections arranged next to each other and electrically coupled via a shared electrical path, each of the charging connections is assigned to at least one charging mode. A movably mounted cover element covers both charging connections in a covering position, uncovers a first charging connection and covers a second charging connection in a first uncovering position, and covers the first charging connection and uncovers the second charging connection and in a second uncovering position, so that during a charging process, only one charging connection assigned to a current charging mode is accessible at a time in order to be contacted, while the other one of the two charging connections is covered by the cover element.
