    The invention relates to a vehicle-side current transmission device (4) for the stationary charging of electrical energy stores of vehicles (7) at charging stations by means of current-supplying contact surfaces (13, 14, 15) arranged above the vehicle (7), wherein a charge current collector (4) formed as an articulated arm system (4) is designed to be multi-pole and has, for making stationary contact with the contact surfaces (13, 14, 15) to be supplied with current, at least two electrical contact elements (1, 2, 3) isolated from one another, which transmit different electrical phases. On the basis of the present invention, the charge current collector is used to create a current transmission device, which enables at least two or a plurality of electrical contacts to be made via one single current collector, said electrical contacts being able to transmit different electrical phases while earthing the vehicle at the same time. The design as an articulated arm system allows the current transmission device according to the invention to be implemented in an especially compact design with low weight. A vehicle-side charging device thus designed enables the vehicle driver to simply position the vehicle below the overhead charging station, coupled with a reliable contacting of the contact surfaces.

    WO 2013/127800 A2 1 5 10 'Current transmission device for charging electrical energy stores of vehicles at overhead charging stations' 15 The invention relates to a vehicle-side current transmission device for the stationary charging of electrical energy stores of vehicles at charging stations by means of energy-supplying contact surfaces arranged above the vehicle. 20 Transportation systems are generally known from the state of the art in which electrically driven vehicles are supplied with electrical energy via overhead lines. Means of transportation of this kind are used in particular in public local passenger transport as rail-bound trolley cars or as lane-bound trolley busses. For supplying traction current, a current 25 collector with electrical sliding contacts is in constant sliding contact with the current-carrying overhead wire hanging above the vehicle. Transportation systems of this kind require substantial investments in the traffic infrastructure to be provided, in particular in terms of the costs for installation and maintenance of the overhead line system. Moreover, 30 a transportation system of this sort is bound to a fixed traffic routing in contrast to "free" traffic. In addition to this dependence on rails and 2 lanes, the appearance of overhead lines is often perceived as unaesthetic, especially in the area of the city center. In the course of increasing electro-mobility, these disadvantages can be overcome by the use of vehicles with rechargeable energy stores. 5 However, on the one hand, these means of transportation require a charging infrastructure including charging stations at which the accumulators of the electric vehicles can be stationarily charged at certain distances. These charging stations can preferably be arranged in stop bays in the form of overhead charging stations for public 10 transportation vehicles so that the charging process can take place during the stay of the vehicle at a stop. On the other hand, in addition to the electric drive concept, the vehicles must be equipped with devices for current transmission, i.e. for the electrical contacting of the overhead charging stations and for collecting 15 the charging current. Previously known current collector systems are only designed for transmitting a driving current, i.e. for supplying power while the vehicle is in motion, the supplied electrical energy being directly converted into kinetic energy via an electric drive device without being stored. 20 The invention disclosed in European patent application EP 2 380 767 Al shows a charging device for vehicles of the public transportation system which are equipped with electrical energy stores. However, said device is designed for a charging process which takes place during the passage of the vehicle along a charging station. For this purpose, the vehicle and 25 the charging station show a contacting of the current rail and the guiding system, wherein the length of the current rail is calculated such that the duration of contact during the passage with a certain speed is sufficient for transmitting the necessary electrical energy. Thus, it is the object of the present invention to develop a current 30 transmission device for the stationary charging of the electrical energy 3 stores of an electric vehicle, in particular for an electric vehicle for passenger transport in local public transportation, which is as compact and simple as possible and which allows making quick and secure electrical contact to the current-carrying contact surface of an overhead 5 charging station, coupled with simple positioning of the electric vehicle. Additionally, the device is to be robust against constant high mechanical stresses. This object is attained in connection with the preamble of claim 1 by a charge current collector which is formed as an articulated arm system, is 10 designed to be multi-pole and has, for making stationary contact with the current-supplying contact surfaces, at least two electrical contact elements which are isolated from one another and transmit different electrical phases. Since only limited space is available for mounting a device for current 15 collection on the roof of an electric vehicle, in particular if the latter is provided with other units for the use in passenger transport, such as an air conditioning unit, a charge current collector that is formed as an articulated arm system allows reliable deploying and retracting of the contact elements to/from the contact surface(s) of a charging station 20 installed above the vehicle with little space required. Owing to the design as an articulated arm system, the current collector forms a compact structural unit in the retracted state during driving, but can be quickly extended to the desired height when the vehicle halts at a stop that is equipped with a charging station. 25 For making stationary contact with the current-supplying contact surface of a charging station running above the vehicle, at least two electrical contacts are arranged on the charge current collector formed as an articulated arm system so that the phase contacts (voltage potentials) required in each case for charging the electrical energy stores can be 30 made with the respective contact surfaces of the charging station via a single current collector. Thus, the current transmission device according 4 to the invention permits contacting and conducting the phases plus and minus necessary for charging the electrical energy store in direct current charging, for example, via a single current collector. In a preferred embodiment, the contact elements are arranged lying next 5 to each other vertically to the driving direction and isolated from one another on a common charge current collector. In this embodiment, all different contact elements, i.e. the phase contact elements as well as a potential grounding contact, are arranged lying next to each other on a single, shared charge current collector. Hence, the contact elements are 10 provided with an isolation and sufficiently large isolation distances, the relative lateral distance among the contact elements being dictated by the arrangement of the current-supplying contact surface of the charging station and being calculated such that a fault-free contacting is possible, in particular such that the risk of short circuits can be precluded. 15 Advantageously, the charge current collector has at least one electrical contact element which is formed as a grounding contact. Since in contrast to rail-bound vehicles, a trolley bus is largely isolated from the ground potential by its rubber tires, a ground connection can be achieved via a grounding contact on the charge current collector and a 20 corresponding grounding contact surface on the charging station. In this manner, both the phase contacts and the grounding can be produced via a single charge current collector. In another embodiment, the articulated arm system is formed as a single arm system or as a multi-part scissor system and has a single base frame 25 which is tightly connected to the vehicle and to which an articulated lower arm of the articulated arm system is pivotably attached. An articulated arm system formed in this manner has a low weight, which is advantageous with regard to a total vehicle weight desired to be as low as possible considering the plurality of accelerations that are 30 necessary in scheduled service of an electric bus, for example. Moreover, 5 the articulated arm designs have the advantage of being simple and requiring little maintenance. The necessary stability is achieved by means of only one base frame which is rigidly connected to the vehicle and to which a lower articulated arm of the articulated arm system is 5 pivotably attached. It is further advantageous that the circumference of the contact elements vertical to the driving direction is sufficiently large to be able to position the vehicle below the current-supplying contact surfaces of the charging station. Taking into account the arrangement of the charge 10 current contact surface, the length of the contact elements vertical to the driving direction is designed such that the vehicle driver has sufficient room to position the vehicle below the charging device, even if there is slight lane offset because of obstacles having to be avoided, for example, so that the contact surfaces of the charging device can be reliably 15 contacted. In another preferred embodiment, (a) connecting line(s) of the electrical contact element(s) is/are integrated in an electrically isolated manner in the articulated arm(s). The charge current collected via the contact elements is transmitted to the on-board electronic system of the vehicle 20 via connection lines which run along the articulated arms in an electrically isolated manner. It is also possible to design components of the articulated arm system and of the base frame as current-carrying conductors for connecting a contact element. In such an embodiment, electrically conductive parts of 25 the charge current collector directly form the connection line for a contact element. The current conduction of the other contact elements can take place via further connection lines which are installed in an electrically isolated manner on the articulated arms.
    6 For producing a secure contacting, the individual contact elements can be movably arranged on the current collector. Thus, the necessary contact pressing force of the individual contact elements on the current supplying contact surfaces can also be ensured if production or assembly 5 tolerances are to be compensated or if the vehicle is in a vertically inclined position. Further advantageous design features arise from the following description and from the drawings, which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention by way of examples. In the figures: 10 Fig. 1: shows a schematic illustration of a charge current collector according to the invention in a lateral view along the longitudinal axis of a vehicle, and Fig. 2: shows a schematic illustration of the charge current collector according to the invention in a lateral view vertical 15 to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Fig, 1 shows a schematic illustration of the structure of the charge current collector 4 according to the invention. In the illustrated embodiment, the charge current collector is formed as a one-arm articulated arm system with an articulated arm 5. The articulated arm 5 20 is pivotably attached to a base frame 6 which is permanently mounted on the roof surface of an electric vehicle 7. In the retracted state, the articulated arm 5 rests on the base frame 6 parallel to the roof surface. On the end of the articulated arm 5 facing away from the pivot bearing, three contact elements 1, 2, 3 are arranged lying next to each other on an 25 axis extending vertically to the driving direction. By pivoting open the articulated arm 5, the contact elements 1, 2, 3 can be brought into contact with the current-supplying contact surfaces 13, 14, 15 of a charging station which are arranged above the vehicle 7. In this context, current-supplying contact surfaces 13, 14, 15 are to be understood to 7 also mean grounding contact surfaces for connection to the ground potential. In Fig. 2, the charge current collector 4 according to the invention is shown in a schematic illustration vertical to the longitudinal axis of the 5 vehicle. The articulated arm 5 is in the deployed position so that the contact elements 1, 2, 3 of the charge current collector 4 touch the corresponding contact surfaces 13, 14, 51 of the charging station. The charge current running through the outer contact elements 13, 15 is conducted via connection lines 11, 12 mounted in an isolated manner 8 10 on the articulated arm 5. A current running through the center contact element 14 can be conducted directly via the electrically conductive articulated arm 5. For deploying the contact elements 1, 2, 3, the charge current collector 4 has a lift drive 16, which is designed to be pneumatic, electric, hydraulic 15 or mechanical with a spring system, and a lowering drive 17 for lowering the contact elements 1, 2, 3 which is also designed to be pneumatic, electric, hydraulic or mechanical with a spring store. The contact elements 1, 2, 3 can also be lowered by utilizing gravity. With the charge current collector according to the present invention, a 20 current transmission device has been created which makes it possible that at least two or a plurality of electrical contacts can be produced via a single current collector, said electrical contacts being able to transmit different electric phases and to simultaneously achieve a grounding of the vehicle. Owing to the design as an articulated arm system, the 25 current transmission device according to the invention can be realized with low weight in a particularly compact configuration. A vehicle-side charging device of such design allows the vehicle driver to position the vehicle in a simple manner below the overhead charging station, coupled with a reliable contacting of the contact surfaces. The simple and robust 30 design in connection with sophisticated lift and lowering drives is further characterized by a low maintenance load and is robust in view of 8 constant high mechanical stresses, which occur in particular in the operation of local public transportation with a plurality of lifting and lowering processes at the stops.
