Embodiment Construction
[0028] figure 1 A charging device 1 for charging an electric or hybrid vehicle (not shown) is shown. The charging device 1 includes a charging station unit 2 (sometimes also referred to as a charging post), a charging connector 3 and a cable 4 connecting the charging connector 3 to the charging station unit 2 . The charging station unit 2 includes a holder 5 for holding the charging connector 3 in a storage position on the side of the charging station unit 2 . This storage position is the position defined by the holder 5 for the connector 3 . This stored position is a defined position 6 of the charging connector 3 at no charging time when the charging connector 3 is not connected to the vehicle. The charging device 1 also includes a system 7 with the following two main tasks: 1. to ensure a defined position 6 of the charging connector 3 during non-charging times when the interface 8 of the charging connector 3 is not connected to the vehicle, and 2. to determine the above-me...

The invention relates to a system (7) for ensuring a defined position (6) of a charging connector (3) for electrically charging an electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle in a charge-free time when an interface (8) of the charging connector (3) is not connected to the vehicle and / or for determining the mechanical condition of said charging connector (3), especially the interface (8), the system (7) comprising: a signal transmitter (11), a corresponding signal detector unit (12) for detecting the signal of the signal transmitter (11), and a holder (5) for holding the charging connector (3) in the defined position (6), and / or a detector device (12') for detecting an orientation and / or movement of the charging connector (3) in an environmental coordinate system, wherein the system (7) is arranged for detecting the presence of the charging connector (3) in the defined position (6) and / or for determining the mechanical condition of the interface (8) or a housing of the charging connector (3) via the signal of the signal transmitter (11) as detected by the signal detector unit (12) and / or a comparison between the orientation and / or movement of the charging connector (3) detected by use of the a detector device (12') and a corresponding orientation and / or movement of the charging connector (3) to be expected when the charging connector (3) is in the defined position (6). The further invention relates to a corresponding charging device (1) for electrically charging an electric or hybrid vehicle and a corresponding method for ensuring a defined position (6) of a charging connector (3) for electrically charging an electric or hybrid vehicle in a charge-free time when the charging connector (3) is not connected to the vehicle.
Description
technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mechanism for ensuring a defined position of a charging connector for charging an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle during non-charging times when the interface of the charging connector is not connected to the vehicle and / or for determining said interface Systems and methods for situations. [0002] The invention also relates to a corresponding charging device for charging an electric or hybrid vehicle. Background technique [0003] Document DE 10 2017 123 357 A1 describes a charging device for charging a vehicle with an electric or hybrid drive (electric or hybrid vehicle). The charging device includes a charging station unit, a charging connector having an interface, and a cable connecting the charging connector to the charging station unit. [0004] In order to charge a vehicle, eg a car, the interface of the charging connector is connected to a corresponding part of the vehicle which is usually to be charged. After...
