Embodiment approach

[0012] According to one specific embodiment, the positioning device is designed to position the contact heads within a predetermined spatial tolerance range with respect to the charging socket of the vehicle. In order to automatically connect the charging station with the charging socket of the vehicle, it is sufficient to position the contacts roughly in the vicinity of the charging socket. In this case, the charging head should be oriented in such a way that it can be inserted into the charging socket of the vehicle by a simple movement in the direction of the charging socket in a subsequent step. Due to the design of the contact heads, no high demands are placed on the accuracy of the positioning of the contact heads. It is thus possible to select relatively large tolerance ranges in which the contacts must be positioned on the charging socket of the vehicle. For example, the contact head can deviate from the optimal positioning of the contact head in the range of about 5 ...

Abstract

The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for electrically connecting a charging station to the charging socket of a vehicle. To this end, a contact head which is connected to a voltage source is positioned in front of a charging socket of a vehicle and then inserted into the charging socket. In order to ensure the contact head is securely and reliably oriented during insertion into the charging socket, the contact head has adjustment means in this case, said adjustment means automatically orienting the contact head during insertion into the charging socket. In this way, the requirements for positioning the contact head before insertion can be reduced and the security of the vehicle which is to be charged making contact with the charging station can be increased.

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for electrically connecting a charging station to a charging socket of a vehicle and to a charging station with such a device. Background technique [0002] Document DE 10 2009 001 080 A1 discloses a charging device for land-based motor vehicles with a battery-like current storage device. An electrical connection between the current storage device and the charging device can be established via the contact arms. In this case, the contact arm is movably mounted on the charging device. [0003] In the case of electric or hybrid vehicles, inductive charging methods and conductive charging methods are known for charging traction batteries. The inductive charging method is based on the combination of a sending coil and receiving coil system. In contrast, the conductive charging method requires the insertion of a charging cable between the charging station and the electric or hybrid vehicle. The acceptance of future electric or...
