Recharging terminal with locking mechanism of a mobile connector

2015 
The invention proposes an electric charging terminal permanently installed in an unprotected environment. A cable carries a movable connector (32) with a hook (322) for latchingly hooking onto a receptacle hook (332) carried by a receptacle attached to the terminal. One of said hooks is movable between a hooked position retaining the connector in a housing and an unhooked position for extraction. The locking comprises a locking finger (351) movable between at least one locking position and a retracted position to prohibit or authorize the stalling of the movable hook (322). An electromagnet (36) moves a lock allowing or prohibiting by retraction the retraction of the locking finger (351). The locking finger (351) retracts under the support of the hook (322). A groove (362) in the lock is moved in front of the finger (352) to allow it to pivot. The position of the finger and the lock are detected by sensors.
