Definitions

• the invention relates to a charging device for an electric vehicle with the features of the preamble of the main claim.
• the invention further relates to an adapter and an electric vehicle with charging device.
• An electric vehicle is a vehicle that is powered by an electric motor.
• the electric motor draws its power via an energy storage, eg. B. battery or battery, which is housed in the electric vehicle.
• the energy storage must be recharged after a discharge.
• For charging the battery is a charging device in the context of the present invention.
• the aforementioned charging device is part of the electric vehicle. If the energy storage of an electric vehicle to be charged, the charger of a charging station with the charger of the electric vehicle is mechanically and electrically connected. Subsequently, the energy storage can be charged by means of electric current, which is supplied by the charging station.
• Electric vehicles should be able to be charged both on standard household sockets with alternating current as well as charging stations that provide direct current with high performance. Charging with DC at a charging station allows charging of the energy storage of an electric vehicle in a short time, for example within 30 minutes or shorter. In comparison, significantly longer times are usually required to recharge the battery using normal household alternating current.
• An electrical connector of the charging device can optionally be placed in two operating positions. In one operating position, a charging cable can be mechanically and electrically connected to the electrotechnical connector. In the other operating position, the electrical connector can be connected directly to a charging station mechanically and electrically conductively. There are two different connection options available for charging the energy storage of an associated electric vehicle.
• a charging device for an electric vehicle with a charging cable comprising an electrical connector wherein the electrical connector AC electrical AC contacts for charging with AC and el ekthari Gleichstromterne for charging with DC u.
• the charging device further comprises at least one adapter for connecting the AC electrical contacts to an AC outlet.
• the adapter can thus be connected both with the AC contacts of the charger and with AC contacts a household standard socket n. Through the adapter, it is possible to charge a motor vehicle at a belie sary household common outlet worldwide and zwa r irrespective of the nature of the AC contacts of the charging device.
• the adapter comprises, in an embodiment, an electrocardi whose ends are provided with electrical connectors. If a charging station is charged for charging with direct current, parking spaces for an electric vehicle are generally provided close to a charging device of the charging station, since such a charging station has been designed for such an application. The situation is different in the case of sockets for a H-content.
• the distance between a parking space for an electric vehicle and an AC outlet is usually larger compared to the case of a charging station for DC charging.
• the length of the charging cable of the charging device of the electric vehicle can be advantageously relatively short and a bgestim mt to usual distances, which it applies in the case of charging at a charging station for DC to be bridged. Thanks to the adapter with its own electric cable, however, larger distances can be bridged if the electric vehicle is to be charged to a conventional mains socket with alternating current.
• the two electrical connectors of the adapter at the two ends of the cable are not compatible with each other in one embodiment.
• the one electrical connector of the adapter which can be connected to the Kirstromkonta kts the charging device of the electric vehicle, can not be connected in this embodiment with the other electrical connector, which can be connected to a household standard socket for charging with alternating current ken. Only the adapter allows in this embodiment, the charging at a corresponding common household AC outlet.
• the adapter is preferably arranged so that it can be connected to a plurality of different sockets for alternating current. Different sockets means different types that are not compatible with each other. For example, a standard household outlet in the US is a different type than a standard household outlet in Germany.
• An adapter therefore, in one embodiment, has an electrical connector which is connected to a standard household power outlet in a country, e.g. B. in the US can be connected and another electrical connector that can be connected to a standard household power outlet in another country with a different type of socket, for example in Germany.
• the charging cable of the charging device is in one embodiment insoluble and thus advantageously permanently connected to the charging device of the electric vehicle. This means that this charging cable can not be removed without tools.
• the invention also includes the case that the charging cable of the charging device can be removed due to a corresponding electrical connector from the charging device or the associated electric vehicle, without having to use tools.
• the charging cable of the charging device can preferably be wound on a rotatable drum and unwound again in order to be able to store it properly.
• the charging cable of the charging device is usually not detachably connected to the drum.
• An electrical connector of the charging device of the electric vehicle comprises two electrical contacts for charging with direct current and at least two, preferably three, more preferably five electrical contacts for charging with alternating current.
• the electrical contacts for charging with alternating current preferably have a smaller diameter than the Konta kte for charging with direct current, since for charging with direct current usually the transfer of higher electrical hou ng en is provided.
• the electrical connector of the charging device includes at least two electrical contacts for control currents to electronically control charging.
• the electrical contacts for control currents preferably have the smallest diameter compared to the other electrical contacts.
• the AC electrical contacts are arranged between the DC contacts and the electrical contacts for control currents.
• the adapter can only be electrically connected to at least two AC contacts, but not to the electrical contacts for control currents and the DC contacts.
• the connection of the adapter with corresponding electrical connectors is then possible with relatively little m effort.

If the charging cable 2 are stored, it is moved into the housing 1 in, for example, by a Trom mel on which the charging cable 2 is wound up.
• the charging cable 2 can also be mounted differently, for example in a meandering manner, in such a housing 1.
• the electrical connector 3 can be connected to an em electrical connector 4 an adapter. More specifically, the AC contacts of the electrical connector 3 are connected to the electrical contacts of the electrical connector 4.
• the adapter also has an electrical cable 5, at the other end also an electrical connector 6 is attached.
• the electrical connector 6 can be plugged into a socket that is common household, so as to charge ei n electric vehicle with AC Kings to NEN.
• the housing 1 is then installed in an electric vehicle.
• the Fa ll is shown that the charging device for a recharging en of an electric vehicle a separate Ladeka bel 2 with two electrical connectors 7 and 3 comprises.
• the electrical connector 7 can be plugged into a charging recess 8 of an electric vehicle for charging.
