Abstract
A plug socket includes a recess receiving a charging plug in a plug-in direction and a locking element movable from a plug-in position into a blocking position. The recess terminates in an insertion opening in the plug-in direction and has an undercut acting in the plug-in direction to latch a latching element of the charging plug. The locking element in the plug-in position is located in the recess and overlaps the undercut transverse to the plug-in direction. The blocking position is spaced apart from the plug-in position in the plug-in direction and the locking element is located closer to the insertion opening in the blocking position than in the plug-in position.

A plug socket, comprising:
- a recess receiving a charging plug in a plug-in direction, the recess terminates in an insertion opening in the plug-in direction and has an undercut acting in the plug-in direction to latch a latching element of the charging plug;
- and
- a locking element movable from a plug-in position into a blocking position, the locking element in the plug-in position is located in the recess and overlaps the undercut transverse to the plug-in direction, the blocking position is spaced apart from the plug-in position in the plug-in direction and the locking element is located closer to the insertion opening in the blocking position than in the plug-in position.
A locking module for a plug socket, comprising:
- a drive member;
- a locking element linearly movable by the drive member;
- and
- a deflection device arranged between the drive member and the locking element and connected to the drive member and the locking element, a direction of movement of the deflection device at a drive side has a different direction than a direction of movement of the locking element, the deflection device has a slotted guide, the slotted guide had a roller guided into a slot.
