Charging cable locking device for charging battery of e.g. electric car in charging station, has detection element coupled to switching element, which is switchable depending on locking state detected by detection element

摘要

The device (1) has a vehicle-side retainer (4) for retaining a plug (2) of a charging cable (3) that is connected to a charging station. A locking unit is arranged at the retainer for locking the plug in the retainer by a locking element (6) and for releasing the plug from the retainer. A detection element (5) detects the locking of the plug in the retainer, and is coupled to an electrical switching element (7), so that the switching element is switchable depending on a locking state detected by the detection element and a position of the locking element.
