ELECTRIC CHARGING DEVICE, ELECTRIC CONNECTION DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CHARGING A BATTERY OF A VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to an electric charging device, to a charging system, to a method for charging a battery of a vehicle, and to an electric connection device of a vehicle for charging a battery of the vehicle. The electric charging device comprises the following: a lifting device (11) to which a charging head (12) is coupled, wherein the charging head (12) has a first plurality of first electric contacts (14) on a first surface (13) of the charging head (12), at least some of said contacts being connectable to an energy source in order to charge the battery; and an actuator (16) by means of which the lifting device (11) can be actuated such that the charging head (12) can be at least partly moved in a first direction (R1) that is substantially perpendicular to the first surface (13). The lifting device (11) is further designed such that the charging head (12) can be moved in a second direction (R2) along a stop surface (U, P) by continuing to actuate the lifting device (11) by means of the actuator (16) upon striking the stop surface (U, P) in the first direction (R1).

主权项

1. An electric charging device (10) for charging a battery of a vehicle, the charging device comprising:
a lifting device (11), to which a charging head (12; 12′) is coupled; the charging head (12; 12′) having a first plurality of first electric contacts (14; 14-1, 14-2, 14-3) at or on a first surface (13) of the charging head (12; 12′), wherein at least some of first electric contacts are configured to be connected to an energy source for the purpose of charging the battery; and an actuator (16) which is configured to actuate the lifting device (11) in such a manner that the charging head (12; 12′) can be moved at least partially in a first direction (R1) which is substantially perpendicular to the first surface (13); the lifting device (11) also being configured such that, upon striking a stop surface (U, P) in the first direction (R1), the charging head (12; 12′) can be moved in a second direction (R2) along the stop surface (U, P) by continued actuation of the lifting device (11) by the actuator (16).
