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

A locking device for a motor vehicle includes an actuating lever, a lock and at least one Bowden cable, which is arranged between the actuating lever and the lock, wherein the lock can be actuated by means of the actuating lever and with the help of the Bowden cable and a functional unit, which is arranged on the Bowden cable and has an electric drive, and wherein the lock can be actuated by means of the functional unit at least in an assisting manner or an actuation can be prevented.

Motor vehicle lock

A method for actuating a motor vehicle lock and a locking device for a motor vehicle includes an actuating lever, a lock and a Bowden cable arranged between the actuating lever and the lock, the lock can be actuated by means of the actuating lever and with the aid of the Bowden cable, and a functional unit arranged on the Bowden cable and comprising an electric drive.

Locking device for a motor vehicle

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.

Electric connection device for electric or hybrid motor vehicles

The invention relates to a motor-vehicle lock, in particular a motor-vehicle door lock. In order to provide a reliable assembly and a reliable operation for said lock, the drive housingof the servo closing functionis designed to function simultaneously as a Bowden cable bearingand as a receiving chamber or shaftfor the micro-switch. The drive housinghas a robust, compact design and allows the micro-switchto be sited securely in the drive housingalways in the same place. This also remains the case as the securing coveris fixed in the drive housingby means of a clip

Motor vehicle lock comprising integrated servo closing function

Actuating unit for automotive applications, especially motor vehicle door locks (), comprising a drive () and with a linear actuator () which can be pressurised by the drive (), wherein the drive () and the linear actuator () are arranged at an angle, and especially at a right angle, to one another.

Actuating unit for automotive applications

The invention relates to an actuating unit for a motor vehicle lock, comprising a motor element and a drive for moving the motor element, a Bowden cable connected to the motor element and a connecting element for the Bowden cable. The invention further relates to a method of production. The aim of the invention is to simplify production of an actuating unit having a Bowden cable. According to the invention, the connecting element for the Bowden cable is angular, especially L-shaped, and a leg thereof, in the case of an L shape preferably the long leg thereof, is connected to the remainder of the housing. The angular form or L shape and the connection of one leg of such a shape to the remainder of the housing of the motor element results in a large surface or a large peripheral edge of the connecting part which can be connected to the remainder of the housing. As a result, the connecting element can be firmly secured to the remainder of the housing such that the latter withstands the forces of a motor element even when the movement of the motor element is not limited with the aid of a microswitch but with the aid of the connecting element.

Actuating unit for a motor vehicle lock and corresponding method of production

The subject matter of the present invention is an actuator unit for motor vehicle applications, in particular motor vehicle door locks (). This actuator unit has in its basic design a housing (), in addition a drive () which is arranged in the housing (), an actuator element () which can be acted on by the drive (), and at least one rubber bearing () for the drive (). According to the invention, the housing () is equipped with mounting projections () which are arranged distributed on the circumference of the rubber bearing (), in the region of a rubber bearing mount ().
