VEHICLE CONNECTION DEVICE, GROUND CONTACT UNIT, VEHICLE COUPLING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONDUCTIVELY CONNECTING A VEHICLE CONTACT UNIT WITH A GROUND CONTACT UNIT

摘要

A vehicle connection device of a vehicle battery charging system has a vehicle contact unit including a base with a contacting area in which at least one first contact electrode, at least one second contact electrode and at least one third contact electrode are provided. The vehicle connection device is moveable towards the ground contact unit in a contact direction (R_K) and an aligning actuator of the vehicle connection device is connected to the base in such a way that it can rotate the base about an axis of rotation that runs substantially in the contact direction (R_K).;Moreover, a ground contact unit, an automatic vehicle coupling system as well as a method for automatically, conductively connecting a vehicle contact unit to a ground contact unit.
