- a sliding contact 16 is formed between the two housing parts 8, 9, which, in the manner of a sliding coupling, simplifies the transmission of an electric current in housing parts 8, 9 that are movable relative to one another.
- the second housing part 9 here has an asymmetrical shape with respect to the axis of rotation 18, so that the loading elements 7 in the in FIG Figure 7 shown position to the top right and in the in Figure 8 position shown to the bottom right. To from the in Figure 7 position shown to in Figure 8 to reach the position shown, the second housing part 9 is rotated by 180 degrees about the axis of rotation 18. This configuration enables a cleaning device 2 to be connected to the charging station 1 in different positions or orientations. This is particularly the case with respect to a horizontal or vertical inclination of the cleaning device 2 relative to the charging station 1.
