[0007] The front locking devices are to be moved away from each other when the release position is assumed and towards each other when the stowed position is assumed.
[0008] The object of the invention is to create a storage device for a passenger car and a passenger vehicle, so that the comfort of the passenger car can be particularly increased.
[0009] This problem is solved according to the invention by a storage compartment device for a passenger car with the features of claim 1 and by a passenger car with the features of claim 9. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims and the description.
[0010] A first aspect of the invention relates to a storage compartment device for a passenger car. Preferably, the passenger car, particularly in its fully manufactured state, has the storage compartment device. In particular, the storage compartment device is provided or configured for a front-mounted storage compartment of the passenger car.
[0011] The phrase "frontal" refers specifically to the fact that the recording space is located on the front of the passenger vehicle, facing forward in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Specifically, the recording space is located outside the interior of the passenger vehicle, that is, in front of the interior in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The interior, which can be referred to as the vehicle interior, refers specifically to a passenger compartment or passenger cell. The term "frontal recording space" refers specifically to an engine compartment.
[0012] The storage device comprises at least one storage element that is to be arranged or is arranged in the front cargo area of the passenger vehicle. In other words, the storage element, in particular its entirety, is to be accommodated or is accommodated in the front cargo area. Accordingly, the storage device can be described as a front storage device. The front storage device can be referred to as a "frunk." The word "frunk" is a neologism from English, formed from the words "front" and "trunk." Accordingly, the front storage device is arranged, in particular, in a front area or at the front of the passenger vehicle.
[0013] The storage element defines a front storage space at least partially, and in particular predominantly or completely. This means that the storage element forms the front storage space at least partially, and in particular predominantly or completely. In other words, the front storage space extends within the storage element, that is, in particular within the storage device.
[0014] The storage compartment element is, for example, tub-shaped, that is, specifically designed as a frunk tub. The front storage compartment is preferably designed to store at least one object. The object is understood to be, in particular, an item, for example, an item belonging to a passenger in the passenger vehicle. To store the object, the storage device, in particular the storage compartment element, has, for example, a loading floor, which is therefore specifically designed for storing the object. For example, the storage compartment element forms the loading floor. Storing the object is understood to mean, in particular, receiving the object, that is, arranging the object in the front storage compartment, for example, on the loading floor.
[0015] The storage element and / or the front storage compartment has at least one storage opening, which preferably points upwards in the vehicle's vertical direction. The front storage compartment opens into the surrounding area via this opening. Thus, the object, particularly the one to be transported, can be placed in the front storage compartment through the opening, i.e., stowed away. Furthermore, the object can be removed from the front storage compartment through the opening.
[0016] The at least one storage compartment opening is movable, in particular pivotable, by a front flap of the passenger car that can be closed or sealed in the closed position, in particular completely, and in the open position can be opened or released at least partially, in particular predominantly or completely. This means that in the closed position of the front flap, the storage compartment opening is closed, in particular completely, by the front flap, and in the open position of the front flap, the storage compartment opening is opened or released at least partially, in particular predominantly or completely, by the front flap.In other words, in the closed position, the storage compartment opening, and thus in particular the front storage compartment, is completely covered by the front flap, whereas in the open position, the front flap does not close or cover the storage compartment opening, and in particular the front storage compartment. The front flap is understood to be, in particular, a hood, which can also be called a hood. In the open position, the object stored in the front storage compartment can be removed, in particular through the storage compartment opening. Alternatively or additionally, in the open position, the object can be placed in the front storage compartment, in particular through the storage compartment opening, and thus be stored there. In the closed position, preferably, the object cannot be removed from the front storage compartment and / or placed in it.In other words, when the door is closed, it is not possible to remove the object from the front storage compartment and / or to place the object in the front storage compartment.
[0017] Preferably, in the closed position, the front receiving area is completely closed by the front flap. Preferably, in the open position, the front receiving area is at least partially, and in particular predominantly or completely, opened by the front flap. Moving the front flap refers in particular to moving the front flap relative to the body of the passenger car. Furthermore, moving the front flap between the closed position and the at least one open position refers in particular to moving the front flap from the closed position to the open position and / or from the open position to the closed position. The body is understood in particular to be a body shell, which is designed, for example, as a, in particular, self-supporting, vehicle body.
[0018] Furthermore, the storage compartment includes at least one charging cable holder, designed separately from the storage compartment element, onto which a charging cable intended or designed for charging an electrical energy storage device of the passenger car can be wound, in particular directly, and is thereby, in particular directly, attached to the charging cable holder. In other words, the charging cable can be wound onto the charging cable holder, thereby enabling or effecting the attachment of the charging cable to the charging cable holder. Charging the electrical energy storage device is understood to mean, in particular, supplying the electrical energy storage device with electrical energy via the charging cable.For this purpose, it is provided, for example, that the electrical energy storage device can be electrically coupled, or is coupled, at least indirectly to an external power source relative to the passenger car via the charging cable. The power source is, for example, a charging station, a wallbox, or the like. In particular, the passenger car is designed as an electrically powered or driven passenger car. In other words, the passenger car preferably has at least one electric motor by means of which the passenger car can be driven. Preferably, the electrical energy storage device is designed as an electrical traction storage device. In other words, the electric motor of the passenger car can preferably be supplied with electrical energy, in particular stored or chemically bound in the electrical energy storage device, in order to drive the passenger car.The term "electrical energy storage device" refers in particular to a battery or accumulator.
[0019] To significantly enhance the comfort of the passenger car, the invention provides that the storage compartment has at least one movement device, in particular at least indirectly or directly, attached to the storage compartment element, which is designed separately from the storage compartment element and / or separately from the charging cable holder. The charging cable holder, in particular together with the charging cable attached to or wound on the charging cable holder, is movable between a first position and at least one second position relative to the storage compartment element, in particular at least indirectly or directly, via the movement device.This means that the charging cable holder, particularly at least when the front flap is open, can be moved or is moved between the first and second positions via the movement device; that is, it can be shifted or is shifted. In other words, the charging cable holder is attached to the storage compartment element via the movement device, and this attachment enables or permits the movement of the charging cable holder between the first and second positions. In the first position, the charging cable holder, particularly coupled to the movement device, and preferably including the charging cable attached to or wound on the charging cable holder, is arranged, preferably completely, in the front storage compartment.This means that the charging cable holder is located in the front storage compartment when it is in the first position. In the second position, the charging cable holder, particularly when coupled to the movement mechanism, and especially the charging cable attached to or wound on it, is positioned higher in the vehicle's vertical direction than in the first position, particularly when the storage compartment is installed in the passenger car. This means that the charging cable holder, especially the charging cable attached to or wound on it, can be moved upwards from the first position to the second position via the movement mechanism.In other words, moving the charging cable holder from the first position to the second position involves moving the charging cable holder, and in particular the charging cable, upwards in the direction of the vehicle's height.
[0020] Moving the charging cable holder between its first and second positions refers specifically to moving it from the first position to the second position and / or from the second position to the first position. Moving the charging cable holder from the first position to the second position can be described as extending it. Moving the charging cable holder from the second position to the first position can be described as retracting it. This movement between the first and second positions is achieved, for example, by means of a lifting mechanism and / or lift system provided by the moving device. Accordingly, the moving device is designed, for example, as a lifting device and / or a lift system. Thus, the lifting mechanism and / or the lift system is provided, for example, for extending and retracting a charging device in the form of the charging cable holder.The lift system can also simply be referred to as a lift.
[0021] The invention is based in particular on the following findings and considerations: It is possible that the frunk, for example due to the depth of the front storage compartment, may be difficult for a person to access and therefore not optimally usable, in particular not practical and / or not ergonomically usable. If items are located in the front storage compartment on the loading floor, also simply referred to as the floor, the person then has to bend particularly far forward towards the front storage compartment to reach the items. In doing so, the person may have to lean against or on the passenger vehicle, which may be dirty.
[0022] In contrast, the aforementioned disadvantages can be avoided by means of the storage compartment device according to the invention. The movement mechanism, in particular the movement of the charging cable holder from the first position to the second position, allows the charging cable holder to be moved upwards in the vehicle's vertical direction, for example from the front storage compartment, so that the person can reach the charging cable holder and / or the charging cable attached to or wound up on the charging cable holder with minimal effort and, for example, in a particularly ergonomic way. This enables particularly ergonomic use of the frunk.Furthermore, the movement mechanism allows the front storage space to be used particularly effectively for stowing the charging cable, so that the person does not have to lean on the vehicle to access the charging cable or the charging cable holder. Thus, the object in question is, for example, the charging cable. This prevents the person from becoming dirty due to soiling of the vehicle. Overall, it is evident that the storage device according to the invention can significantly increase the comfort and / or ergonomics of the vehicle, especially the front storage space.
[0023] To further enhance the comfort of the passenger vehicle, the charging cable holder is designed as a cable reel, which can be referred to as a charging cable drum. This allows the charging cable to be stored and / or retrieved from the front storage compartment in a particularly advantageous, ergonomic, and / or space-saving manner.
[0024] To further enhance the comfort of the passenger vehicle, a further embodiment provides that the charging cable holder, in particular including the charging cable attached to or wound on the holder, is reversibly detachable from the drive mechanism. This means that the charging cable holder, especially in the first and / or second position, is reversibly detachable from the drive mechanism, and in particular, is attached to the drive mechanism at least indirectly or directly. This detachment specifically involves detaching the charging cable holder from the storage compartment element. In other words, the charging cable holder is designed as a removable device from the drive mechanism and / or from the storage compartment element, and thus, in particular, from the storage compartment itself.This allows the user to remove the charging cable holder from the vehicle as needed, giving them greater flexibility in using the front storage space. Furthermore, charging the electric energy storage device can be made particularly convenient. "Reversible removal" specifically refers to removal without causing any damage.
[0025] To further enhance the comfort of the passenger vehicle, a further embodiment provides that in the second position, the charging cable holder, including the charging cable attached to or wound onto it, is located outside the front storage compartment. This means that in the second position, the charging cable holder is not located within the front storage compartment. In other words, moving the charging cable holder from the first to the second position involves moving it, along with the charging cable attached to or wound onto it, out of the front storage compartment, specifically through the storage compartment opening. This allows the person to reach the charging cable particularly easily and ergonomically.
[0026] To further enhance passenger vehicle comfort, a further embodiment provides for the charging cable holder to move from the first to the second position, particularly when installed in the storage compartment of the passenger vehicle. This movement is directed upwards and laterally. This means that the charging cable holder is positioned differently in the first and second positions relative to the vehicle's transverse direction. In other words, moving the charging cable holder from the first to the second position involves moving the holder itself, and especially the charging cable attached to or wound around it, upwards and laterally.This allows the person to reach the charging cable holder, and therefore in particular the charging cable, with minimal effort and in a particularly comfortable manner in the second position.
[0027] Preferably, the direction of movement is outwards in the transverse direction of the vehicle. This means that in the second position, the charging cable holder, in particular the charging cable attached to or wound on the charging cable holder, is positioned higher in the vertical direction of the vehicle and further outwards in the transverse direction than in the first position. In other words, moving the charging cable holder from the first to the second position involves moving it upwards in the vertical direction of the vehicle and outwards in the transverse direction. This allows the person in the second position to reach the charging cable holder and / or the charging cable particularly easily, with minimal effort and / or ergonomically, thus significantly increasing the comfort of the passenger vehicle.
[0028] To further enhance the comfort of the passenger vehicle, a further design feature ensures that the storage compartment remains stationary when the charging cable holder is moved between its first and second positions. In other words, the storage compartment, particularly relative to the vehicle body, remains stationary when the charging cable holder is moved between these positions. This means that the charging cable holder can be moved independently of the storage compartment between the first and second positions. As a result, in the second position, the occupant has particularly easy access to the charging cable holder and the charging cable itself, allowing for effortless and ergonomic handling.
[0029] To further enhance the comfort of the passenger vehicle, a further embodiment provides that the storage compartment device has at least one drive unit, for example an electric one, by means of which the movement device for moving the charging cable holder between the first and second positions can be driven or is driven. This means that the movement of the charging cable holder between the first and second positions can be effected or is effected by means of the drive unit, in particular automatically. In other words, the charging cable holder, in particular together with the charging cable attached to or wound up on the charging cable holder, can be moved between the first and second positions by means of the drive unit via the movement device.Accordingly, the aforementioned movement of the charging cable holder is, in particular, an automatic movement. The drive unit, for example, includes at least one electric motor.
[0030] A second aspect of the invention relates to a passenger car which has a front-facing storage compartment in which at least one storage device according to the first aspect of the invention is arranged. Accordingly, the passenger car has the storage device. Advantages and advantageous embodiments of the first and second aspects of the invention are to be considered as advantages and advantageous embodiments of the second aspect of the invention, and vice versa.
[0031] Further features of the invention will become apparent from the claims, the figures, and the description of the figures. The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description, as well as the features and combinations of features mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or shown in the figures alone, are not only usable in the combinations specified, but also in other combinations or on their own.
[0032] The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to a preferred embodiment and the drawings. The drawings show: Fig. 1 a schematic and perspective partial view of a passenger car according to the invention; and Fig. 2 a schematic and perspective partial sectional view of a passenger car according to the invention, wherein a charging cable holding device is in a first position; and Fig. 3 a schematic and perspective partial sectional view of a passenger car according to the invention, wherein a charging cable holding device is in a second position.
[0033] In the figures, identical or functionally equivalent elements are provided with the same reference symbols.
[0034] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic and perspective partial view of a passenger car 1, which has a front-facing compartment 2. The front-facing compartment 2 adjoins, for example, a front wall structure 4 of the passenger car 1, at least indirectly, in the longitudinal direction 3 of the vehicle. The front wall structure 4 has, for example, at least one end wall. For example, the front wall structure 4, in particular the end wall, separates an interior 5 of the passenger car 1 from the front-facing compartment 2. The front wall structure 4 is preferably part of a body 6 of the passenger car 1.
[0035] For example, the front-facing receiving area 2 is at least partially, in particular predominantly or completely, bounded by the body 6, in particular by at least one body component 7 and / or by at least one interior trim component 8. For example, the body 6, in particular the body component 7, is preferably covered inwards and / or from above in the vehicle's vertical direction 17 by the interior trim component 8.
[0036] Furthermore, the passenger car 1 preferably has at least one front flap 9, which is attached to the body 6, for example, in a movable manner. The front flap 9 is movable between at least one closed position and at least one open position 10, for example pivotable about a pivot axis 11. In the Fig. In the embodiment shown in 1, the pivot axis 11 runs at least substantially parallel to the transverse direction 12 of the vehicle.
[0037] For example, in the closed position, the front receiving compartment 2 is at least partially, in particular predominantly or completely, covered or closed by the front flap 9. For example, in the open position 10, the front receiving compartment 2 is at least partially, in particular predominantly or completely, uncovered by the front flap 9.
[0038] The passenger car 1 further comprises at least one storage compartment device 15, in particular arranged or incorporated in the front-facing storage compartment 2, which is located in Fig. Figure 2 shows a schematic and perspective partial sectional view of the passenger car 1. The storage compartment device 15 has at least one storage element 16, which is arranged or received in the front-facing receiving space 2. For example, the storage element 16 is trough-shaped. Preferably, the storage element 16 is formed from a rigid solid body. Preferably, the storage element 16 is separate from the body 6, and in particular separate from the interior trim component 8. Thus, for example, the storage element 16 is not a body component. In particular, the storage element 16 is not an interior trim component of the front-facing receiving space 2. In the vertical direction 17 of the passenger car 1 below the storage element 16, several body components of the body 6, such as two longitudinal members 18, extend, for example,
[0039] The storage element 16 at least partially, preferably predominantly or completely, delimits a front storage space 19, in particular the storage device 15. The storage device 15 and / or the front storage space 19 can be referred to as a frunk. For example, the storage element 16 forms a loading floor 20 at least partially, in particular predominantly or completely, which, for example, delimits the front storage space 19 downwards in the vehicle's vertical direction 17, in particular directly. For example, at least one object, such as a charging cable 21 and / or a bag, can be received or stored in the front storage space 19, in particular on or at the loading floor 20.Thus, the object can be stored in and / or removed from the front storage compartment 19, for example, and in particular only when the front flap 9 is in its open position 10. For example, the front storage compartment 19 partially, and in particular only partially, fills the front receiving space 2, especially with respect to the vehicle's longitudinal direction 3 and / or transverse direction 12.
[0040] The storage element has at least one storage opening 22. In other words, the storage element 16 limits the storage opening 22, in particular the front storage space 19. The storage opening 22 can be closed by the front flap 9 in the closed position and can be at least partially, in particular predominantly or completely, released in the open position 10. For example, the interior trim component 8 limits the storage opening 22 at least partially.
[0041] Furthermore, the storage compartment 15 has at least one charging cable holding device 24, which is separate from the storage compartment element 16 and on which the charging cable 21, intended for charging an electrical energy storage device of the passenger car 1, can be wound, in particular directly, and thereby attached to the charging cable holding device 24 or is already attached. The charging cable holding device 24 is preferably designed as a cable drum.
[0042] In order to particularly increase the comfort of the passenger car 1, the storage compartment device 15 has at least one movement device 25, which is attached to the storage compartment element 16, in particular at least indirectly or directly, and which in this case is designed separately from the storage compartment element 16 and / or separately from the charging cable holding device 24. The movement device 25 is in Fig. Figure 3 illustrates this particularly schematically, showing a schematic and perspective partial sectional view of the passenger car 1. The charging cable holding device 24 is coupled to the storage element 16, at least between a first position 26 and at least a second position 27, via the movement device 25, and is movable, in particular automatically, or movably coupled to the storage element 16, for example, at least indirectly or directly. Thus, for example, the charging cable holding device 24 is movably connected to the storage element 16 via the movement device 25.
[0043] In Fig. In the first position 26, the charging cable holder 24 is located in the first position 26. In the first position, the charging cable holder 24, in particular together with the charging cable 21 attached to or wound up on the charging cable holder 24, is preferably completely arranged or received in the front storage compartment 19. In the first position 26, the charging cable holder 24 is arranged, for example, in particular directly, on or against the loading floor 20. Fig. In position 3, the charging cable holder 24 is in the second position 27. In the second position, the charging cable holder 24 is positioned at least partially, and in particular predominantly or completely, higher up in the vehicle's vertical direction 17 than in the first position 26. In the second position 27, a person can grasp the charging cable holder 24 and / or the charging cable 21 with particularly little effort and, in particular, with particular ergonomics, for example, via the storage compartment opening 22, and thus handle it. This allows the person to carry out a charging process for the electrical energy storage device with particularly little effort and, in particular, with particular ergonomics, since, for example, the person can remove the charging cable from the front storage compartment 19 with particularly little effort and ergonomically.This avoids the situation where, for example, the person would have to reach particularly deep or down particularly far into the front storage compartment 19 in the upward direction of the vehicle 17, which would be the case, for example, if the charging cable holder 24 or the charging cable 21 were located on or in the first position 26 on the loading floor 20.
[0044] In Fig. Figure 3 further illustrates the movement of the charging cable holder 24 or the charging cable 21 from the first position 26 to the second position 27. In this process, the charging cable holder 24 or the charging cable 21 passes through, for example, an intermediate position 28, which can be referred to as the third position.
[0045] In this embodiment, the charging cable holder 24 or the charging cable 21 is arranged outside the front storage compartment 19 in the second position 27. This means that moving the charging cable holder 24 from the first position 26 to the second position 27 preferably involves moving the charging cable holder 24 out of the front storage compartment 19 through the storage compartment opening 22.
[0046] As in Fig. As can be seen particularly well in Figure 3, the embodiment provides that a direction of movement 29 of the charging cable holder 24 or of the charging cable 21 for moving from the first position 26 to the second position 27 extends upwards in the vehicle vertical direction 17 and outwards in the vehicle transverse direction 12. Thus, for example, in the second position 27, the charging cable holder 24, in particular together with the charging cable 21, is located above the front storage compartment 19 in the vehicle vertical direction 17 and next to the front storage compartment 19 in the vehicle transverse direction 12, in particular on the outside of the front storage compartment 19.
[0047] Preferably, it is provided that when moving the charging cable holding device 24 between the first and second positions 26, 27, the storage element 16 does not move, in particular relative to the body 6.
[0048] In Fig.Figure 3 illustrates a movement curve 30, which can be described as the movement trajectory of the movement device 25. This movement curve 30 thus extends laterally out of the front storage compartment 19 with respect to the vehicle's transverse direction 12.
[0049] For example, the movement device 25 has at least two coupling elements. A first coupling element is, for example, designed as a coupling element on the side of the charging cable holder. In other words, the first coupling element is, for example, arranged, and in particular attached, to the charging cable holder 24, in particular directly. The second coupling element is, for example, designed as a coupling element on the side of the storage compartment element. In other words, the second coupling element is, for example, arranged, and in particular attached, to the storage compartment element 16, in particular directly. In order to enable the aforementioned movement of the charging cable holder 24 between the first and the second positions 26, 27, the coupling elements are, for example, movable relative to each other, that is, in particular, mounted so as to be movable relative to each other.Accordingly, moving the charging cable holding device 24 between the first and second positions 26, 28, for example, involves a movement of the first coupling element between the first and second positions 26, 27 relative to the second coupling element. Various movement mechanisms are possible to enable this movement, such as lifting mechanisms, lifting mechanisms, and / or rail-guided mechanisms.
[0050] Preferably the storage device 15 has at least one drive device not shown in the figures, by means of which the movement device 25, in particular the first coupling element, can be driven or is driven to move the charging cable holding device 24 between the first and the second position 26, 27.
[0051] Preferably, the charging cable holder 24 is coupled to the movement device 25 in both the first position 26 and the second position 27, particularly via the first coupling element, and thus movably connected to the storage element 16, particularly via the movement device 25. This connection is preferably reversibly detachable. Thus, the charging cable holder 24 is preferably reversibly detachable from the movement device 25. For this purpose, for example, the charging cable holder 24 is reversibly detachable from the first coupling element and / or the first coupling element is reversibly detachable from the second coupling element.
[0052] The charging cable holder 24 is preferably specifically adapted to the front storage compartment 19 or the frunk, particularly according to a vehicle type of passenger car 1. For example, it is possible to use the movement device 25 alternatively or additionally to the charging cable holder 24 for other objects, such as optionally a bag. Thus, for example, the movement device 25 is designed so that at least one further object, such as an additional item related to the charging cable, can be attached to the movement device 25 and thereby moved, for example, from the first to the second position 26, 27.
[0053] Overall, the examples demonstrate how a lift for the charging cable 21, particularly including the cable reel, can be implemented in the frunk using the storage compartment device 15. In other words, a cable reel lift can be provided or implemented in the frunk. Specifically, a lifting mechanism and / or lift system in the form of the movement device 25 is provided, which moves a specially adapted and removable cable reel into and out of the frunk. To make particularly efficient use of the frunk's storage space for storing the charging cable 21, the movement device 25, in particular the lifting device and / or the lift system, preferably with a removable charging cable reel, is provided.
