Field of the invention

The invention relates to an electromobility charging interface socket for

Connecting an electromobility charging station to an electromobility vehicle, and a modular locking device for an electromobility charging interface receptacle.

Background and general description of the invention

The market for electromobility, i. Vehicles such as vehicles, which are powered by electricity alone or supportive, are growing steadily. In order to

Along with this, the demand for charging stations or charging stations is growing

Charging the energy storage of the same.

In the meantime, the charging technology has been standardized worldwide to a small number of forms, so that a user can usually get by with one or a few cables and can use the growing network of charging stations.

Charging stations are mostly exposed to the weather and environmental conditions. The market for charging sockets of such a charging station therefore essentially offers such charging sockets which have a hinged lid integrated in the charging socket. In other words, the known charging socket typically has an integrally connected to the charging socket, in particular with the charging socket

sprayed together, lid fastening on.

For the operator of a charging station, it is currently not possible to choose whether the charging socket should be closed at the charging station with a lid or not. In particular, the operator of the charging station can not subsequently attach a cover to a coverless charging socket or subsequently remove the cover reversibly, i. without forcibly removing or breaking off the lid.

Manufacturers of such charging sockets in turn would have for the cases in which an operator would like to buy a charging interface without hinged lid, a separate

Design, allow and type a charging interface without a cover to satisfy even those customers who do not want hinged lids. Both charging sockets would then have to be distributed in parallel and stored on the storage side, which entails higher storage and operating costs.

Against this background, the Applicant has developed in the present case an electromobility charging interface socket, which has an attachable to the electromobility charger interface socket closure device.

An object of the present invention results from the above-described problems in terms of developing a charging interface socket, in which the operator of the charging station can choose at any time reversibly whether the

Charging interface socket to be closed or may remain open.

A further aspect of the object is to be able to offer modular electromobility charging interface receptacles for a wide range of charging stations, and to use the smallest possible number of different components or assemblies in order to reduce storage costs and to save costs in production and storage. Other objects will become apparent from the following description or the particular advantages achieved with certain embodiments.

The object is solved by the subject matter of the independent claims.

Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

The invention describes.

According to the invention, an electromobility (EM) charging interface socket is provided for connecting an electromobility charging station to an electromobility vehicle. The term "electromobility vehicle" does not only cover this

Land vehicles, but can also, for example, electric mobility aircraft and

Include electromobility watercraft.

The EM charging interface receptacle has a receptacle housing with a front panel having a mating face receiving opening and a rear side having a contact receptacle. The mating face receiving opening is preferably centered in the

Positioned front panel so that the front panel is essentially around the mating face. Receiving opening around a lateral web forms perpendicular to the mating face receiving opening.

In the contact socket, an inner part is arranged with a mating face with a plurality of electrical contacts. The mating face is open to the front panel, so that contacts of a plug with the electrical contacts of the mating face is connectable. At the back of the contact socket, electrical leads can be electrically contacted with the electrical contacts of the mating face so that the EM charging interface receptacle in the charging station is electrically connected and the EM vehicle can be charged to the EM charging interface receptacle.

On the front panel of the receptacle housing, a mating face is arranged around the mating face surrounding collar which projects beyond the faceplate. The collar is in particular designed in one piece with the socket housing. Furthermore, the collar can be perpendicular to the front panel so that a right angle is formed between the front panel and the collar. The collar forms in particular the edge of the mating face receiving opening.

Preferably, an electromobility charging plug is pluggable on the collar to the EM charging interface receptacle, i. in the collar plugged or attachable to the collar. More preferably, the EM charging plug additionally or alternatively can be snapped onto the collar, so that the EM charging plug engages around the collar and / or engages in the collar and can lock there. The circumferential around the mating face-receiving collar in one

Embodiment, preferably on its upper side, have a locking hole, in which a locking pin of the EM charging plug for holding the EM charging plug can engage the EM charging interface socket.

For example, the EM charging plug may engage a charging plug collar in the collar of the EM charging interface receptacle when the EM charging plug is plugged into the EM charging interface receptacle and at the same time externally with a preferably operable latch hook into the locking hole of FIG

engage on the outside to create a solid and possibly temporarily non-detachable connection of the EM charging plug to the EM charging interface plug socket. In a further preferred embodiment, the latching hook can even be enabled or disabled by means of software, electromechanically or with an electromagnet, so that a charging program can run completely before the user Reconnect the charging plug from the EM charging interface socket.

On the front panel of the socket housing mounting side holes are arranged laterally of the mating face on which the electromobility charging interface socket can be attached to the electromobility charging station. In other words, fastening holes, for example screw holes or through sleeves, are arranged around the mating face receiving opening, through which screws can be inserted, which can be screwed into a thread in the EM charging station, for example.

The invention of the female connector housing separate

Locking device is arranged on the front panel of the socket housing. In other words, the closure device is a separately manufactured from the female connector housing and separable from the female connector housing component. The closure device is in particular mounted on the front panel on the front panel and at the same time fastened to the EM charging interface socket with the same fastening means with which the EM charging interface socket is fastened to the EM charging station.

The closure device has a bearing retainer having a base portion extending along the faceplate and parallel to the faceplate.

For example, the base portion of the bearing holder is a substantially flat portion, which is prepared, directly on the

Front panel to get to the mating face receiving opening to the plant. For example, the base portion is kidney-shaped so as to be wider at both ends than in its middle portion. In particular, the

Base portion of the bearing holder shaped so that it extends along the collar and a rounding of the collar follows.

In the base portion, two holder mounting holes for releasably securing the bearing holder to the female housing are arranged. The holder

Mounting holes are preferably located at the ends and / or in a broadening of the base portion. Further preferably, around the holder mounting holes is a circumferential support edge of the base portion, which has sufficient strength to absorb the contact pressure in the indirect attachment of the bearing holder to the EM charging station. The storage holder further comprises a arranged on the base portion

Fastening tab on. The fastening tab is preferably arranged between the holder fastening holes. For example, the fastening tab is formed from a protuberance of the bearing holder, which is perpendicular to the front plate on an upper side of the base portion. The fastening tab has in particular a bearing receptacle. In the fastening tab thus a bearing for storing a lid is formed.

In one embodiment, the bearing holder may have two fastening straps, preferably arranged side by side on the base section. The two

Fastening tabs may each have a bearing receptacle into which, for example, a bearing rod can be pressed. In the

Fixing tabs is thus formed a bearing for storing the lid. The bearing of the lid is arranged in this embodiment between the two attachment tabs.

The two holder mounting holes are disposed in the base portion so as to be congruent to two of the mounting holes of the female housing, so that the holder mounting holes with the

Mounting holes overlap when the bearing retainer is located on the front panel and laterally of the mating face receiving opening.

The EM charging interface connector preferably has a plurality of

Front plate of the female connector housing around the mating face receiving opening around in each case the same distance arranged mounting holes.

For example, the front panel may have four sides, with two sides each symmetrical to each other, so that four corners are formed, and each corner has a mounting hole. If the mounting holes each have the same distance from each other, the bearing holder can be selected on one of, in particular four, sides of the

Socket housing disposed on two adjacent mounting holes and releasably connected to the receptacle housing. In other words, the storage holder and thus the lid stored in the storage holder can be selectively mounted on each side of the EM charging interface receptacle so that the operator of the charging station can select the orientation of the lid.

For example, by choosing the lid position previously inaccessible places now be provided with an EM-charging interface socket, such as those positions that are very narrow and border, for example laterally to another structure. Thus, a high-mounted EM charging interface socket can obtain a closure device according to the invention, wherein the cover is conveniently open to the top. On the other hand, a very deep-mounted EM charging interface receptacle may include a latch, which conveniently opens the lid down, which is convenient for the user and thus enhances user satisfaction. In the case of a mounting situation in which the EM charging interface socket, for example, is exposed to no weather, such as in a warehouse or the like. According to the invention can now be completely dispensed with a cover. Should it turn out that a lid is needed later, the locking device can be retrofitted with simple means, in particular without having to replace the entire EM charging interface socket and thereby having to set up the wiring again.

The stored in the camp of the bearing holder lid closes in one

closed state the mating face receiving opening. Possibly. the lid has a sealing ring or sealing means for air-tight and / or watertight sealing of the mating face receiving opening. Preferably, the lid seals on the collar from the mating face receiving opening.

At the bearing of the bearing holder, a damper may be arranged, in particular a spring for a slow opening of the lid. In other words, the damper can generate a pulling force in the direction of the mating face receiving opening, which pulls the lid toward the closed state. Advantageously, the EM charging interface socket is thus automatically by the lid of the

Locking device closed when the user stops interacting and no EM charging plug is plugged into the EM charging interface receptacle.

The bearing holder may have a curvature directed away from the collar at an inner edge lying in the direction of the mating face receiving opening. In other words, the bearing holder may be formed to have a straight first side parallel and along the outer edge of the faceplate, and a second one of the mating face receiving opening opposite the first side

facing side, which is curved so that the bearing holder tapers in the middle region. In a particularly advantageous manner allows the one-sided taper of the Bearing holder that a locking pin of the EM charging plug can be passed between the collar and the bearing holder, especially when the bearing holder is mounted on top of the EM charging interface socket. On or in the collar of the EM charging interface socket can then a

Be arranged latching receptacle, in which the locking hook of the EM charging plug engages and locked when the EM charging plug is connected to the EM charging interface socket.

The closure device may also have a relative to the storage holder

arranged latching holder, wherein the latch holder along the

Front plate and parallel to the front plate extending base portion, two arranged in the base portion holder mounting holes for releasably securing the lid holder to the socket housing, two arranged on the base portion mounting tabs and engaging in the two mounting tabs for locking the lid in the closed state of

Cover has. The snap-in holder is preferably arranged opposite the bearing holder on the front panel. In the closed state, the lid can preferably be latched into the catch, so that the lid is securely held in the closed state.

If the closure device has a latching holder with which the lid can be held securely in the closed state, then the damper can also damp the closing movement of the lid. When the damper dampens the closing movement, the cover is pushed into the locked position by pressure against the damper, i. the closed state, and pressed when releasing the latch, the lid automatically and conveniently opens in the open state. The damper may be set to automatically hold the lid in the open state until the user has finished using the EM charging interface receptacle and manually closes the mating face receiving opening with the lid.

Further, it is possible to release the detent electromechanically or for example controlled by a magnet. Thus, the retrofittable closure device may at the same time constitute an access safeguard for the EM charging interface receptacle which, for example, permits access to the mating face receiving opening only by release, e.g. by specifying the method of payment and input

for example, a credit card. Only when the authorization of the user for the use of the EM-Charging interface socket has been determined, is in this special case releases the catch of the closure device and the lid jumps into the open position.

The detent holder may have at a lying in the direction of the collar inner edge away from the collar curvature, which is designed such that the

Locking pin of the EM charging plug between the collar and the latch holder can be passed, especially when the latch holder is mounted on the top of the EM charging interface socket. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the base portion is formed with the holder mounting holes and the mounting tabs of the bearing holder identical to the base portion of the pawl holder. In other words, in this embodiment, the base portion is a lid holder identical part, in which either a lid can be mounted or a catch can be held. The design as a common part can further reduce the cost of production and storage of the closure device.

The electromobile charger interface receptacle is particularly compatible with SAE J 1772 / IEC 62196-2, GB / T-20234.2 and / or I EC 62196-3.

According to the invention, a modular locking device is also designed for an EM charging interface plug socket, for example for retrofitting a

Closure on the same. The modular locking device comprises the front panel of the

Socket housing of the EM charging interface socket on the side of the

Mating face receiving opening mountable bearing holder, wherein the bearing holder extending along the front panel and parallel to the front panel

A base portion having two holder mounting holes arranged in the base portion for releasably securing the bearing holder to the base

Socket housing, the two arranged on the base section

Fastening tabs and the fortified in the mounting tabs bearing for supporting the lid has. The two holder mounting holes are congruent with two

Attachment holes of the female connector housing arranged so that the holder mounting holes overlap with the mounting holes when the bearing holder the front panel and the side of the mating face receiving opening is arranged. Furthermore, the closure device has a lid mounted in the bearing of the bearing holder, which closes the mating face receiving opening in a closed state.

The modular locking device may also further comprise the on the front panel of the female connector housing laterally of the mating face receiving opening engageable latch holder, wherein the latch holder extending along the front panel and parallel to the front panel base portion, the two in the

Base portion arranged holder mounting holes for releasably securing the locking device to the socket housing having two arranged on the base portion mounting tabs and engaging in the two mounting tabs for locking the lid in the closed state of the lid. In other words, the modular locking device provides a retrofit solution for retrofitting existing EM charging interface receptacles with a closure device as explained above.

In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments and with reference to the figures, wherein the same and similar elements are provided in part with the same reference numerals and the features of

Detailed description of the invention

Fig. 1 shows a front side view of an EM charging interface socket 10 with a front panel 20 and a mating face receiving opening 22. To the

Mating face receiving opening 22 around a collar 24 is perpendicular to the front panel 20 on the front panel 20 out. Inserted into the mating face receiving opening 22 is a mating face 30 with seven contacts 32, so that the contacts 32 can be plugged in from the front of the EM charging interface socket, in particular by means of an EM charging plug, cf. e.g. FIG. 6. The mating face 30 protrudes into a contact socket 18, which is arranged in the rear region of the EM charging interface plug socket 10 and which constitutes a contact protection for the mating face 30. The front panel 20 has in this embodiment four mounting holes 26 for

Attaching the EM charging interface socket 10 to the EM charging station by means of fasteners passed through the mounting holes 26, in particular screws. On the front panel 20, a bearing holder 50 of a closure device 40 is arranged on the left side such that the two holder attachment holes 52 arranged in the base portion 51 are arranged flush over two of the attachment holes 26. The fastening means for attaching the EM charging interface socket 10 can now be plugged through the holder mounting holes 52 and the mounting holes 26 in a simple manner, so that with the same fasteners both the bearing holder 50 on the front panel 20 of the EM-charging interface socket 10 and the EM -Ladeschnittstellensteckbuchse 10 can be attached to the charging station. The base portion 51 has in the central region 54 a directed away from the collar 24 lateral constriction, with which the base portion 51 of the collar 24 in the central region 54 moves away.

On the base portion 51, two fastening tabs 56, 57 are further arranged in Fig. 1 for fixing a bearing 46 for supporting the lid 42nd

The cover 42 has in this embodiment a sealing collar 44 which presses in the closed state on the collar 24 and together with the collar 24 produces an airtight and / or dust-proof and / or water-proof seal in the mating face receiving opening.

The collar 24 finally has on the upper side a locking hole 28, in which a locking pin (see Fig. 6) of the EM charging plug 70 (see Fig. 6) can be inserted and locked.

2 shows an EM charging interface plug socket 10, wherein the cover 42 of the closure device 40 is in the closed state and thus the mating face insertion opening is closed by the cover 42. The cover 42 has a larger diameter than the collar 24 and thus projects beyond the collar 24 laterally. This improves the tightness.

In the rear area, the EM charging interface socket 10 has a

Contact socket 18, which houses the mating face 30 (see Fig. 1) and the contacts 32 and an internal connection option provides for connecting the contacts 32 with the EM charging station. At the top of the contact socket 18 is a

Contact guide 15 is arranged, to which, for example, a contact plug of the EM charging station 80 (see Fig. 24) can be plugged, so that preferably no more wiring when attaching the EM charging interface socket 10 to the EM charging station 80 must be performed, but only one Plug on the

Plug socket housing 12 is infected.

3 shows an EM charging interface plug socket 10 with a closure device 40 arranged on the right side. The cover 42 is mounted in the bearing 46 and can completely open the plug face receiving opening 22 in the closed state

close. The base portion 51 of the bearing holder 50 is laterally of the collar 24 so arranged that the two holder mounting holes 52 flush over the

Mounting holes 26 of the EM charging interface socket 10 come to rest.

4 shows an EM charging interface receptacle 10 with a lower side

Again, the base portion 51 is arranged so that the two holder mounting holes 52 come flush over two of the mounting holes 26.

In the representation of FIG. 4, a collar-side constriction or a curvature 59 of the two fastening straps 56, 57 directed away from the collar 24 is shown. Due to the special shape of the bearing holder 50 with the curvature 59 of the fastening tabs 56, 57 an additional space between the collar 24 and bearing 46 is released. 5 shows a closure device 40 arranged on the upper side, wherein the cover 42 is folded upwards and thus opened. The bearing holder 50 is now arranged close to the locking hole 28, so that the locking pin at

Connecting the EM charging interface receptacle 10 with the EM charging plug must pass underneath the storage holder 50 to enter the locking hole 28

intervene. To increase the space available for the connection between the EM charging plug and the EM charging interface socket 10, the fastening straps 56, 57 have the collar-side curvature 59. In other words, the bearing holder 50 provided with the collar-side bulges 59 of the closure device 40 can also be arranged on the upper side of the EM charging interface socket 10 and still allows the locking of the locking pin of the EM charging plug with the locking hole 28.

In the Gegenüberschau of the figures 1 to 5, the versatility of

Locking device 40 can be seen, which allows an arrangement of the cover 42 on all four sides of the EM charging interface socket 10 shown in the figures. It can also be seen from this comparison of FIGS. 1 to 5 that ultimately it does not depend on the exact configuration of the EM charging interface socket 10 shown concretely in the figures, but rather on the

uniform spacing of the mounting holes 26 in accordance with the invention

Connection with the particular embodiment of the closure device 40 allows this variability. The other electromobility charging interfaces, for example, in the standards SAE J1772 / IEC 62196-2, GB / T-20234.2 or IEC 62196-3, may be modified in design and in accordance with the present invention such that a modular locking device 40 may be selectively attached to the respective EM charging interface receptacle 10.

FIG. 6 shows an EM charging plug 70 for insertion into the EM charging interface plug socket 10. The EM charging plug 70 points to the better

Handling a handle 72 with a possibly rubberized and robust surface. A charging plug collar 74 provides protection against contact in the

Charging plug collar 74 housed charging plug contacts (not shown). The charging plug collar 74 engages flush when inserting the EM charging plug 70 into the EM charging interface socket 10 in the collar 24, so that the risk of touching one of the contacts is minimized and at the same time a dense as possible

Closure of the inserted arrangement is realized. The upper side is the

Locking pin 76 is arranged, which can engage in the locking hole 28.

In Fig. 7, the mated arrangement of the EM charging plug 70 is shown with the EM charging interface socket 10, wherein the locking pin 76 engages in the locking hole 28. The closure device 40 is arranged on the left side and in the opened state.

Fig. 8 shows the mated arrangement of the EM charging plug 70 with the EM charging interface socket 10, wherein the closure device 40 is arranged on the upper side. The locking pin 76 is located near under the bearing 46, in which the lid 42 is mounted. By means of the curvature 59 of the fastening tabs 56, 57, additional space for the insertion of the locking pin 76 between the bearing 46 and the collar 24 is released. In other words, the special configuration of the fastening straps 56, 57 allows the top-side arrangement of the

Locking device 40 on the EM charging interface socket 10 with top-locking between locking pin 76 of the EM charging connector 70 and

Lock hole 28.

FIG. 9 shows a further embodiment of the closure device 40 arranged on the front side of the front panel 20 of the EM interface interface socket. To the left side mounted bearing holder 50, relative to the spatial arrangement, opposite the mating face receiving opening 22, a latching holder 60 is provided

arranged. In other words, on the front panel 20, two parts of the Locking device 40, namely the bearing holder 50 and the latch holder 60, arranged opposite one another. The latch holder 60 has a

Base portion 61 and two inserted in the base portion 61 holder mounting holes 62 for mounting the pawl holder 60 to the EM charging interface socket 10 on. The detent holder 60 has a detent 48 for latching the lid 42 in the closed state. The lid 42 has a detent 45 which is adapted to the detent 48 and which can engage in the detent 48 in the closed state of the lid 42. The catch 48 preferably has an operating section 49 on the front side. For example, the actuating portion 49 may be manually operated by applying a tangential force, i. a force in the vertical direction away from the collar 24, is exerted on the actuating portion 49 and integrally formed with the actuating portion 49 in the present simple example detent 48 releases the lid 42. In other words, the catch is rotatably mounted on an axis 47 in this example, so that on the one hand, the cover 42 rotation of the catch 48 about the axis 47 at the transition to the closed

Position 42 causes when the latch 45 presses on the latch 48. Preferably, the catch 48 is equipped with a return spring, so that the catch 48 after the

Passing the latch 45 automatically returns to the starting position. Also during manual operation, i. when opening the catch 48 to release the lid 42, the restoring force of the return spring can be overcome by means of the manual force and the catch 48 are brought into a release position to release the lid 42. After the lid 42 is released from the latch 48 and the latch 48 is released, the catch 48 is automatically returned by means of the return spring in the starting position.

In the example of FIG. 9, the base portions 51, 61 are formed together with the holder mounting holes 52, 62 and the fastening tabs 56, 57, 66, 67 as equal parts. In other words, the base portion 51 of the bearing holder 50 and the base portion 61 of the pawl holder 60 are interchangeable.

The bearing holder 50 is separated from the detent holder 60, so it is two separate components. The use of the two separate components of the bearing holder 50 and the locking device 60 in the locking device 40 allows on the one hand a modular use of the components, depending on whether the operator of an EM charging station 80, the cover 42 with bearing holder 50 and latch holder 60 wishes or whether this Lid 42 only with storage holder 50 wishes. The separation of the

Bearing holder 50 of the latch holder 60 is further, as in the example of FIG. 9 As can be seen, a gap between the two components 50, 60 free, so that possibly tight fitting EM charging connector 70 can be used despite attachment of the closure device 40 to the EM-charging interface socket 10, if the

Closure device 40 at the appropriate location, e.g. on the left side as in the example of Fig. 9, is mounted.

The modular interchangeability of the bearing retainer 50 with the detent holder 60 further allows cost savings in manufacturing that can be passed directly to the customer so that overall a customized product can be purchased and cheaper prices can be achieved.

In the embodiment of FIG. 10, the lid 42 is in the closed state in which it is held by the catch 48 of the pawl holder 60. In the bearing 46 of the bearing holder 50, therefore, a return spring is preferably arranged, which presses the lid as soon as the catch 48 releases the latching lug 45 of the lid 42, for example by the actuating portion 49 being manually operated.

Fig. 1 1 shows an embodiment with the right side arranged bearing holder 50 and the left side arranged latch holder 60th

FIG. 12 shows a bearing holder 50 arranged on the underside with a detent holder 60 arranged on the upper side. Even with the detent holder 60, curvatures 69 of the fastening tabs 66, 67 allow the insertion of the locking pin 76 between the detent holder 60 and the collar 24.
