CHARGING STATION HAVING CHARGING CABLE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H02J7/00 H01B7/42 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: charging station (1) comprises charging cable (2) for charging electric energy store (3), wherein charging cable (2) is connected to charging station (1) at proximal end (5) and has first plug-in apparatus (7) at distal end (6) for connecting to second plug-in apparatus (8) of apparatus (4) to be charged which contains electric energy store (3), wherein first plug-in apparatus (7) has first electric contact elements (9) for electric connection to second electric contact elements (10) of second plug-in apparatus (8), wherein charging cable (2) has electrically connecting lines (11) for electric connection of first contact elements (9) to voltage source (12) of charging station (1). Charging cable (2) has fluid duct (13) for guiding fluid (17) from charging station (1) towards first plug-in apparatus (7) and from first plug-in apparatus (7) back to charging station again (1). First plug-in apparatus (7) is configured as a male part of a plug, and second plug-in apparatus (8) is configured as a female part of a plug. Fluid duct (13) has first part (14) of fluid duct and second part (15) of fluid duct which open in a region of first plug-in apparatus (7) into deflecting duct (16), in which fluid (17) from first part (14) of fluid duct downstream of charging station (1) is deflected into the second part (15) of fluid duct, in a flow direction towards charging station (1). First contact elements (9) engage in first part (14) of fluid duct, into second part (15) of fluid duct and/or into deflecting duct (16) and/or are connected thermally to the deflecting duct, and fluid (17) flows at least partially around first contact elements (9).

EFFECT: technical result is providing reliable temperature control of the contact elements.
