Abstract
A charging device for connecting an electrical energy store of a motor vehicle to a charging station for electrical energy includes a charging cable having at least one line for conducting a charging current and at least one connection element via which the charging cable is connectable to a corresponding connection element between the energy store and the charging station. At least one latent heat store is provided on the charging cable and/or on the at least one connection element and can be used to absorb heat generated during the charging process.
Claims9
A charging device for connecting an electrical energy store of a motor vehicle to a charging station for electrical energy, comprising:
- a charging strand with at least one line for conducting a charging current;
- at least one connection element which is used to connect the charging strand to a corresponding connection element between the energy store and the charging station;
- and
- at least one latent heat store arranged on the charging strand and/or on the at least one connection element, wherein
- the at least one latent heat store is configured to absorb heat generated during a charging operation,
- the at least one line is at least partially surrounded by insulation,
- the at least one latent heat store is arranged in one section on a side of the insulation which faces away from the at least one line, and
- the section runs helically around the at least one line.
