Motor vehicle having a storage for electric energy

摘要

The invention relates to a motor vehicle having a storage for electrical energy, which store is coupled to a coil into which electrical energy can be induced from outside the motor vehicle during a charging process. The vehicle includes a housing in which the coil is arranged, the housing being made of plastic toward the underside of the motor vehicle, and an optical waveguide is arranged in particular between two walls of the housing. When light from a light source is coupled into the optical waveguide and a detector detects the light, damage to the housing can be detected and the induction of electrical energy into the coil at a charging station can optionally be interrupted in order to avoid hazards to persons.

主权项

1. A motor vehicle, comprising:
a storage for electric energy; a housing including a plastic material towards an underside of the motor vehicle; a coil received in the housing and coupled with the storage for electric energy, said coil being constructed for introducing energy into the coil during a charging process from outside the motor vehicle; at least one optical waveguide arranged in or on the plastic material into which light from a light source can be coupled; a detector for receiving the light emitted by the light source; and a control device configured to carry out the charging process and to prevent the charging process when the detector does not receive light in an expected manner.
