摘要: A method for establishing an electrical connection of a vehicle contact unit of a vehicle which is at least in part electrically powered, to a ground contact unit of an electric charging infrastructure is provided. The ground contact unit has a plurality of electrical contact surfaces, at least two of which have to be contacted by the vehicle contact unit for charging the vehicle battery. The method includes the step of detecting, with the aid of at least one camera on the vehicle, at least one of the electrical contact surfaces and/or at least one insulation surface surrounding the electrical contact surfaces, for establishing an electrical connection. Further provided are a vehicle connection device for electrically connecting a vehicle contact unit of a vehicle which is at least in part electrically powered, to a ground contact unit of an electric charging infrastructure, and a vehicle having a vehicle connection device.

摘要: A ground contact unit for a vehicle battery charging system comprises a base body, at least one potential layer, a plurality of contact areas, a plurality of switching units and a plurality of switching lines by means of which the switching units can be actuated, wherein a plurality of switching units are provided on each of the switching lines. The switching lines are subdivided into at least two groups, and each of the switching units is provided on at least two switching lines from at least two different groups, so that the switching state of the switching unit depends on the signal state on its associated switching lines. Each switching unit is coupled to at least one contact area such that the switching unit can electrically connect and interrupt the corresponding at least one contact area to the at least one potential layer assigned to the contact area.
A method of switching a contact area is also shown.-

摘要: A ground contact unit for a vehicle battery charging system for the automatic conductive connection to a vehicle contact unit. The ground contact unit has a plate-shaped base body, at least one potential layer, and a plurality of contact areas which are arranged on an exposed charging surface of the base body against which the vehicle contact unit can come into contact, and which are assigned to the at least one potential layer. At least one protective assembly is assigned to the contact areas of the at least one potential layer. The at least one protective assembly has a current measuring unit provided in the current path for current measurement and a switch which is arranged in the current path and is controlled, among others, depending on the result of the current measuring unit.
