Description

The invention relates to a charging cable arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising a charging cable and a charging cable receiving cable memory, from which and in which the charging cable can be brought, wherein the charging cable with the memory-side end is firmly connected to an associated third object.

Such a charging cable arrangement is used in partially or fully electrically operated motor vehicles and serves to charge an energy storage device. For this purpose, a charging cable is provided which has a charging plug at one end, which is to be plugged into a corresponding charging socket of a charging station. The other end of the charging cable is firmly connected in the assembly position with an associated third object, so for example, the energy storage device itself or a part thereof.

Since there is usually a certain distance between the motor vehicle and the charging socket in which the charging plug is to be inserted, the charging cable has a corresponding length of usually several meters, which requires that the charging cable, when not in use, be in one Charging cable memory is included. For this purpose, the cable can be wound on a cable drum on which it is wound with several windings next to and above each other. Such an arrangement is for example off DE 44 06 583 A1 known. There is described a positively driven system with a cable drum, which must be completely unwound to ensure the function. Similar arrangements are for example also in DE 82 13 269 U1 or DE 10 2009 016 895 A1 described.

A disadvantage of winding on a cable drum is that due to the superimposed cable turns when charging with high charging power to excessive heating on the part of the charging cable, wherein a heat dissipation due to the superposed cable layers, if the cable is not fully extended, only in reduced dimensions is possible.

As an alternative to the use of such a cable drum system, it is known to configure the charging cable as a separate part and equipped with two connectors, namely one for the charging station and a second for a vehicle-side charging socket. The cable usually carried in the trunk is then to be plugged in by the user on both sockets and wound up after the charging process and to save space. On the one hand this is cumbersome, on the other hand, a special own charging socket must be provided on the vehicle side, which of course has to be closed via a flap, which requires installation space, optionally has contact resistance and is associated with higher costs. In addition, the cable is usually completely laid, so it is exposed to the weather and can pollute.

The invention is therefore based on the problem of specifying a contrast improved charging cable arrangement.

To solve this problem is provided according to the invention in a charging cable assembly of the type mentioned that the cable memory has a receiving space in which the charging cable via a motorized cable conveyor meandering is introduced.

In the charging cable assembly according to the invention on the one hand, the promotion of the cable in and out of the cable storage via a motorized cable conveyor, so happens partially or fully automatically, so that a comfortable movement of the charging cable to the charging point out is possible.

In addition, according to the invention, the cable is inserted meander-shaped in the cable storage and deposited, that is, the cable is introduced in successive, meandering loops in the cable storage via the motorized cable conveyor. This leads to the fact that the cable touched only a few places, if any, the individual meandering line windings are adjacent, but not, as when winding on a drum, one above the other. This leads with particular advantage to the fact that even with only partially extended charge cable charging operation under maximum load, ie with maximum charging energy is readily possible and there is no excessive heating on the part of the charging cable. Resulting heat, as the cable surface is exposed, well dissipated.

Also, only a partial cable extension is possible, so that it can be avoided that a cable length is on the floor and can pollute, since it is possible to take only as much cable length, as required.

As described, a motorized cable conveyor is provided which allows a partially or fully automatic conveying operation. For this purpose, the cable conveyor may comprise at least two rollers, between which the charging cable is received and attack the charging cable, wherein at least one roller is drivable via a drive motor. Thus, the two rollers are on both sides with sufficient pressure on the charging cable, so that when driving one of the rollers via a drive motor, the charging cable easily from the Cable storage promoted or can be inserted into the cable memory. When automatically inserted into the cable storage, the charging cable is stored in the meandering manner. As a drive motor, a simple electric motor can be used, which is controlled via a corresponding control device as needed.

The two first roles can be advanced or downstream in the invention, two second roles between which the charging cable is received and attack the charging cable, via which second pair of rollers, the charging cable is guided. This pair of rollers, which is, for example, immediately upstream of the actual receiving area of the cable store, leads the charging cable exactly into the cable store, where it is then inserted meander-shaped and stored.

In order to detect a cable length moved past a roller, it is also expedient if at least one roller is assigned a sensor for detecting the cable length moved past the roller. This sensor may, for example, be a revolution sensor, it being readily possible to determine by means of the detected number of revolutions and the known roller diameter how long the cable route moved past is. About this an accurate length detection is possible, which is particularly useful if the user additionally pulls the charging cable manually from the cable memory, so if he passes the working drive motor or the stationary drive motor by pulling on the cable mechanical. The fact that the rollers abut the charging cable, they are inevitably rotated, so that the exact cable length can be detected and control device side is known how much cable length has been pulled out and must be transported in.

To place the charging cable meandering in the interior of the cable storage, it may be sufficient if the cable storage has corresponding lateral boundary walls against which the inserted cable runs, where it is then deflected and runs to the opposite wall. It is also conceivable, of course, to provide corresponding deflection radii on these walls, over which the charging cable is deflected in a defined manner and directed to the opposite side.

It is also expedient if, on the cable side, at least one element is arranged which can be detected via a position-fixed sensor, wherein the delivery of the charging cable can be controlled as a function of the detection result. Such an element may for example be provided near the charging plug. If the charging cable is automatically pulled into the cable storage via the cable conveyor, then the conveyor operation can be stopped when the cable-side element is detected, because then the charging cable is pulled in so far that only the charging plug is still to be cleared. Also at the end of the cable, so near the maximum extension length, such an element can be arranged. If this is detected, the automatic cable extension is stopped, since then the maximum extension length is reached. The cable is therefore not pulled to maximum voltage from the cable memory. The sensor can be arranged, for example, in the region of a roll. It preferably comprises the one or more elements provided on the cable side without contact.

If the charging cable completely inserted into the cable memory, so only the charging plug is to be fixed accordingly, unless it is automatically fixed with the shrinking into the rest position. Appropriately, this is a holding device for receiving the charging plug, which is arranged at the free end of the charging cable, is provided, wherein the charging cable after removal of the charging plug from the holding device from the cable storage is conveyed. This holding device serves as a kind of release means for the automatic conveying operation. Only when the charging plug is pulled out of the holding device, the automatic conveying operation can begin.

It is expedient if the charging plug is pivotally mounted on the holding device and pivotable between a rest position and a removal position, wherein the charging plug automatically by conveying a short cable length from the cable memory after detecting a loading desire in the removal position and / or by conveying a short cable length in the cable memory after detecting the insertion of the charging plug in the holding device in the rest position can be brought. If a charge request is detected, which can be done in different ways, as will be discussed below, the cable conveyor is actuated to push out a short cable length, for example a piece of cable of approximately 30 cm. This results in that, pushed over the subsidized charging cable, the charging plug from the rest position pivots into the removal position. The cable conveyor promotes the cable only this short piece, then the conveying operation is terminated, that is, the capture of the removal position is detected or the short cable length is detected, after which the promotion is terminated automatically. Only when the charging plug is removed, the automatic conveying operation is continued.

Conversely, when the cable is fed, it will do so until a certain extended cable length has been fed or until the previously described element is sensed or the like. The conveying operation stops automatically. Only when the charging plug has been inserted into the holding device, the short remaining cable length is conveyed into the cable storage, which automatically causes the charging plug pivots from the removal position to the rest position. By pivoting into the rest position, which can also be detected, or after detection of the short cable length of the conveyor operation is stopped, the charging cable is completely eliminated.

The charging request can be detected, for example, by the user-side or automatic opening of a covering flap covering the holding device. Such a cover flap may for example be the front hood of the motor vehicle when the cable storage is installed below the front flap. But it may also be a small side flap cover when the cable storage is installed in the region of a side wall of the body or the like. The charging request can be detected, for example, by the driver pressing an opening button, for example in the vehicle interior or on a remote control element, for example the vehicle key. In addition, it is conceivable that via a vehicle-mounted, the vehicle environment detecting means such as a camera device or the like is recognized that the motor vehicle has hit a charging station, whereupon, after this can be interpreted as a charging request, the cover can be opened automatically. Of course, it is also conceivable, for example in the case of a side cover flap, that the manual opening of the cover flap is detected via a sensor. Regardless of how the charge request is detected, the automatic short push-out operation begins until the charging plug is brought into the user-accessible, manual removal position, whereupon the automatic push-out operation begins after removal. In the case of introduction into the cable storage and plugging in the plug and pivoting back into the rest position, the cover can be closed automatically after detecting the rest position, or be manually pressed by the user.

The automatic conveying operation can be controlled in various ways. According to a first alternative of the invention, one or more operating elements can be provided on the charging plug, via which or which the conveying operation of the cable conveying device can be controlled. For example, on the plug side, a button can be provided, via which the cable conveyor conveys the cable from the cable store, and a second button, upon actuation of which the cable conveyor is driven to introduce the charging cable into the cable store. For example, one or the other key is pressed until the desired cable length is reached or introduced. It is also conceivable only one button, which, however, can be switched depending on the desired operation and the like. If the step mode described above is provided, in which the cable is first pushed out a short length of cable until the plug is in the removal position, or vice versa is retracted automatically when retracting, it is conceivable that the respective short movements take place automatically and for this no actuation a plug-side control is required. This means that after detecting the charging request automatically expelled the short cable length and the charging plug is pivoted to the removal position, whereupon it can be removed and only then the one or more controls are functional. During conveyance, the cable can be conveyed until, for example, the described element is detected or the corresponding cable insertion length is detected. Subsequently, the charging plug is inserted into the holding device. As soon as the insertion is detected, the cable entry takes place automatically, without the need for a control elements or the like to operate.

As an alternative to using one or more operating elements provided on the plug-in side, it is also conceivable that the conveying operation of the cable conveyor device can be controlled as a function of the environmental information determined by means of a camera or sensor device detecting the environment around the motor vehicle. By means of such a camera or sensor device, for example, a charging station and its position relative to the vehicle can be detected. The control unit can now determine how much cable length is to be pushed out, so that the user can insert the charging plug up to the column charging socket. It is then conveyed out just this cable length. If the determined cable length is a bit too short, the user can easily pull out the remaining length manually despite the drive motor being at a standstill. Such a camera or sensor device can be, for example, a topview camera device, which thus detects the environmental situation quasi from above; alternatively, ultrasound sensors and the like can also be used. Optionally, a detection of the position of the charging plug can be carried out in order to detect, if necessary, that the originally determined auszuschiebende charging cable length is too short to correct the delivery operation.

A third alternative according to the invention for controlling the conveying operation provides that the conveying operation of the cable conveying device in dependence on the means of a the orientation of the charging plug relative to the motor vehicle detected Camera or sensor device controls. Here is thus detected how the charging plug is oriented relative to the motor vehicle. If the charging plug points away from the motor vehicle, then it can be assumed that the user wants to lead the charging cable to a charging station, ie the cable is pushed out. This happens until, for example, it is detected via a sensor on the charging plug that it is plugged into the charging socket. If, in the opposite case, the charging plug is pulled out of the charging socket and it is directed towards the motor vehicle, then it can be assumed that the charging operation has ended and the charging cable is to be cleared again. It starts the retreat operation, which takes place, for example, until the cable-side, the cable end indicating element is sensed or the like. As a sensor, for example, a plug side mounted gyrometric sensor or the like can be used. A camera can also be used, via which the corresponding images can be captured, in which the charging plug and its spatial orientation can be detected.

In addition to the charging arrangement itself, the invention further relates to a motor vehicle comprising such a charging cable arrangement.

In this case, the charging cable arrangement can be arranged below a front flap, which can be opened manually or at least partially manually to release the charging plug when an operating element is actuated, the automatic or manual opening possibly being detectable as a charging request. If the bonnet is opened manually, this can be detected, for example, via a sensor, whereupon the optionally provided automatic short Ausschiebebetrieb uses until the charging plug is in the removal position. If the front door is opened automatically, this can be immediately interpreted as a load request. If after swiveling the charging plug into the removal position, for example, after a predetermined time detected that the charging plug was not pulled, this is interpreted that there is no charge request, the short cable length can be withdrawn and the plug pivoted back into the rest position and the Hood to be closed again.

In the case of an automatically operated front flap, it is conceivable to move it in the direction of the vehicle longitudinal axis to the rear, wherein the charging plug is arranged in the region of the vehicle front. By means of corresponding hinged connections of the front flap to the body, it is conceivable to raise it slightly at the windshield-side end and to draw it to the windshield so that a corresponding gap is opened on the front side, via which the charging plug pivoted into the removal position is accessible.

As an alternative to the arrangement below the vehicle front, it is also conceivable to arrange the charging cable arrangement behind a side wall of the body and to provide a wall-side flap which can be opened manually to release the charging plug when an operating element is actuated manually or manually, wherein the automatic or manual opening may be required as a charging request is detectable. If this is detected as a charging request, then it can be pushed out automatically again, etc.

1 shows a partial view of a motor vehicle according to the invention 1 , in which below a front hood only shown in broken lines 2 a charging cable arrangement 3 comprising a cable store shown here opened 4 with charging cable 5 and automatic conveyor 6 is provided. The front flap 2 is shown here in two dashed positions, namely in the position I, in which it is arranged in the closed position, and in the position II, in which it is slightly withdrawn in the rearward direction toward the windshield and raised with the disk-side end, so that front an area 7 is exposed in the one on the charging cable 5 arranged charging plug 8th can be grasped.

The cable storage 4 is a flat receiving space, which is covered by a cover, not shown in detail, which may have ventilation holes or slots, covered, but here is shown open for illustrative purposes. In this cable storage, which tapers slightly in the vehicle longitudinal direction, is the charging cable 5 in meander-shaped loops are inserted, such as 1 clearly shows. It is with its not shown in detail, memory-side end fixed to a vehicle-side object, for example, directly to an energy storage device, via the charging cable 5 is to be loaded, or connected to one of the energy storage device associated charging element.

The charging cable 5 runs through two rollers 9 , here the charging cable 5 leading between them, being a role 9 a drive motor 10 (see the 3 - 5 ), for example, a small electric motor, via which the corresponding role can be actively driven, wherein the operation of the cable conveyor 6 via a control device 11 is controlled. Over this the charging cable can 5 active in the cable memory 4 conveyed and laid there meandering or from the cable storage 4 be pulled out.

The charging plug 8th is in a pivotable holding device 12 , which is mounted on the vehicle side about a corresponding pivot axis, arranged, and can between the in 1 shown rest position A and also shown removal position B are pivoted, as shown by the double arrow P.

This pivoting takes place automatically, for example, after detecting a charge request, the control device 11 the drive motor 10 so controls that this first a predetermined length of cable from the cable memory 4 out promoting. The charging cable 5 is thus actively pushed out, which leads to the charging plug 8th is pivoted from the rest position A in the removal position B. After conveying out the predetermined charging cable length, for example, of 30 cm, the conveying operation is stopped.

The charging request can be detected, for example, by the fact that the front door 2 is moved from the closed position I to the open position II, which can for example be done automatically upon actuation of a control element or the like, or can be detected by the sensor during manual opening.

In the removal position B, the user can remove the charging plug, whereupon the automatic operation of the cable conveyor 6 inserts and the charging cable 5 automatically from the cable storage 4 is pushed out until the appropriate cable length is deducted and the charging plug 8th in a corresponding charging socket 13 a charging station 14 is plugged in. This situation is in 2 shown. The charging cable is visible 5 over the conveyor 6 , which is shown here only with the two roles, over a partial length from the cable storage 4 pulled out. Only a few meandering loops are still in the cable storage 4 remained.

In 1 and 2 is the cable storage 4 lying horizontally below the bonnet 2 installed. It would also be possible to mount it at an angle or vertically. In any case, the charging cable is located in the adjacent meandering loops in the cable storage 4 , that is, that the cable windings are not superimposed, so that even at high charging power only a small cable heating respectively a good heat dissipation is possible.

3 shows a first example, as the conveying operation of the cable conveyor 6 can be controlled. In this embodiment, the charging plug 8th two controls 15 . 16 provided for driving the cable conveyor 6 serve, for example, the control 15 for the Ausschiebebetrieb and the operating element 16 for the retraction operation. In the example shown is the charging plug 8th from the holding device 12 taken from the controls 15 . 16 are accessible and active. Previously, for example, has the controller 11 the drive motor 10 driven, a predetermined cable length, for example 20 - 30 cm, push out, so that the charging plug 5 automatically via the swiveling holding device 12 was pivoted from the rest to the removal position. Will now be the control 15 pressed, the controller controls 11 the drive motor 10 to, the assigned role 9 is actively turned. Because both roles 9 under pressure on the outside of the charging cable 5 attack, this becomes active from the cable storage 4 out postponed. This happens as long as the control 15 is pressed, or until the operating element 15 is pressed a second time. Then stops the delivery mode and the charging plug 15 can in the charging socket 13 be plugged in.

For insertion in the cable storage 4 after loading is the operating element 16 in the same way as before the operating element 15 to press, whereupon the controller 11 the drive motor 10 in the opposite direction and controls the roles 9 the charging cable back into the cable storage 4 Push. During this insertion movement is the charging cable 5 meandering, as in 1 shown, stored in the cable memory.

Shown is in 3 furthermore an element 17 on the charging cable 5 is arranged, as well as a sensor 18 that with the controller 11 communicated. This element 17 can over the sensor 18 be recorded. It indicates that almost the entire cable length in the cable memory 4 is inserted. Will the element 17 recorded, so stops the Einschiebebetrieb. The user now has the charging plug 8th in the holding device 12 plug in, whereupon automatically the controller 11 , for example, via one of the holding device 12 assigned sensor 19 plugging in the charging plug 8th senses the drive device 10 in turn controls to also retract the predetermined cable length, for example, the described 20 - 30 cm. The holding device 12 automatically pivots into the rest position, the conveying operation is completed and the front flap 2 can be closed again.

3 further shows two only shown in phantom roles 24 , in the example shown the roles 9 to the cable storage 4 upstream and the leadership of the charging cable 5 serve.

4 shows an alternative embodiment of the control of the cable conveyor 6 , The control device 11 is a camera device 20 assigned to take pictures of the vehicle environment, with such an environment image 21 is shown as an example. It shows the own motor vehicle 1 as well as the charging station 14 , The control device 11 can now grasp by evaluating the image that the motor vehicle 1 to a charging station 14 drove, whereupon, for example, automatically the front door 2 can be opened. Also, from the relative position of the motor vehicle 1 to the charging station 14 be recorded, how long from the cable storage 4 be herausördördernde cable length, so that the user the charging plug 8th in the charging socket 13 can get stuck.

After detecting the charging request by opening the front door 2 controls the control device 11 the drive device 10 so that again the predetermined cable length is pushed out and the holding device 12 from the rest position to the removal position, as in 4 shown, pans. The charging plug 8th is shown as an example still in the inserted position. If it is removed, which, for example, again via the sensor 19 can be detected, so the further Ausförderbetrieb automatically begins until the predetermined cable length is ejected. If it turns out that this is still too short, so the user can either manually pull out a piece more cable without the drive device 10 becomes active, or it can, if the control device 11 even recognizes that the cable length is too short, still a bit active on the drive device 10 be pushed out.

The operation for conveying the charging cable 5 in the cable storage 4 is done in a similar way as with respect 3 described.

In 4 is an example of another sensor 22 shown, the detection of the speed of a roll 9 serves. The sensor 22 also communicates with the controller 11 , It can be detected on the basis of the counted revolution or speed, which is counted at the beginning of the conveying operation, in connection with the roll diameter, how much cable length has been conveyed out, so that it is known for the retraction operation, how much cable is still retract until almost reaches the end position is and the charging plug 8th again in the holding device 12 to be stuck. This speed detection can additionally detect the element 17 respectively.

5 Finally, shows an embodiment in which the control of the drive device 10 by detecting the orientation of the charging plug 8th in the room respectively from the motor vehicle 1 directed away or is detected to this. This is on the charging plug 8th for example, a gyrometric sensor 23 arranged, for example, with the control device 11 communicates and about the location of the charging plug 8th can be detected. The control device 11 can therefore tell if the charging plug 8th directed away from the motor vehicle, which allows the conclusion that the user wants to lead the charging plug to a charging station. Would be the charging plug 8th reversed to the motor vehicle directed, so this allows the conclusion that the charging process is completed and the user the charging cable 5 want to clear away again. Depending on the registered alignment becomes the cable conveyor 6 driven accordingly to the charging cable 5 either from the cable store 4 to promote or to bring in these. Will the cable be out of memory 4 promoted, the delivery mode ends when, for example, detected via a plug-side sensor not shown in detail that he is plugged into the charging socket. Conversely, the retraction operation for conveying into the cable memory 4 stopped when, for example, the item 17 over the sensor 18 is detected. Will then the charging plug 8th again in the holding device 12 plugged in, the predetermined cable length can still be completely withdrawn and the charging plug can be moved to the rest position.
