A locking device of an electrical connector half, which locking device is driven by an electric motor, for establishing an electrical connection to another electrical connector half to charge an electric or hybrid vehicle by plugging the other electrical connector half into the first-mentioned electrical connector half, having a movable locking pin for locking in the other electrical connector half plugged into the electrical connector half, and a sensor element arranged on the locking device, wherein, by means of the sensor element, at least one position, in particular an end position, of the locking pin can be determined, and wherein at least one switch means and a resistor are integrated in a circuit of the sensor element, such that at least one further position of the locking pin can be determined.

Locking device driven by an electric motor

A locking device for an electrical charging device of a motor vehicle, in particular an electric or hybrid vehicle. The locking device is equipped with a movable bolt element, which is provided for releasably locking a charging plug in a charging socket of the electrical charging device. In addition, the movable bolt element can be moved at least into the positions 'unlocked' and 'locked.' Furthermore, a motor-driven drive is realized, which is provided for moving the bolt element. According to the invention, the bolt element can be moved into a third &#x201c;self-locked&#x201d; position beyond the &#x201c;locked&#x201d; position, which can be reached by means of the drive and in which unlocking is impossible without the drive.

Locking device for an electrical charging device

An electromotive drive for motor vehicle applications. In particular, the electromotive drive is part of a locking device of an electric connection device for electric or hybrid motor vehicles. For this purpose, an electric motor and a multistage transmission which is arranged downstream of the electric motor are provided as drive elements for acting on an actuating element, and a drive housing which houses drive elements is also provided. The actuating element is a locking element of the locking device for example. The drive housing is equipped with inner and/or edge-side protrusions. The protrusions have direct bearing points for individual drive elements or all of the drive elements.

Electromotive drive for motor vehicle applications

An application, in particular for motor vehicle closing devices. The basic design of the motor vehicle has an electric motor and an actuating element which is acted upon by the electric motor directly or indirectly via a powertrain. The powertrain is provided with at least one Evoloid toothing. According to the invention, a drive shaft of the electric motor is equipped with an Evoloid pinion which meshes with an Evoloid output gear at the input of the powertrain, thereby directly producing the Evoloid toothing.

Actuator for automotive applications

An electric connection device for electric or hybrid motor vehicles, said connection device being equipped with a charging plug socket, a charging plug, a movable locking element for releasably locking the charging plug in the charging plug socket, and a drive for moving the locking element, said drive having an electric motor and a multistage transmission for acting on the locking element. The multistage transmission has individual shafts, each of which is arranged parallel to the output shaft of the electric motor as part of the drive. The device may use gearing to actuate a sensor to determine how far one of the individual shafts has rotated. An emergency unlocking crank may be mounted to a separate shaft that is engageable with one of the individual shafts via a cam.
