INDUCTIVE PICK-UP ARRANGEMENT FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND METHOD OF OPERATING AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to an inductive pick-up arrangement to be mounted on an electric vehicle which shall be operated with electric energy produced by the arrangement by magnetic induction, wherein: - the arrangement comprises a pick-up portion (1 ) comprising at least one electric inductance for receiving a magnetic field and for producing the electric energy, - the arrangement comprises a mounting portion (3) to be mounted on the vehicle, - the arrangement comprises an actuator (5) for actuating movement of the pick-up portion (1 ) relative to the mounting portion (3), - the mounting portion (3) and the pick-up portion (1 ) are moveably connected to each other by at least two connecting portions (7), - wherein a distance from the pick-up portion (1 ) to the mounting portion (3) in a vertical direction can be varied by the actuator (5), - the actuator (5) comprises a prolongable section (5) which can be prolonged and shortened by operating the actuator (5) and which extends from a first bearing (4a) attached to the mounting portion (3) to a second bearing (4b) attached to the pick-up portion (1 ), - the prolongable section (5) comprises a first operating state in which the prolongable section (5) is shorter than in a second operating state, so that the distance from the pick-up portion (1 ) to the mounting portion (3) is smaller in one of the first and second operating states than in the other of the first and the second operating states.
