  • Publication number: 20260264551
    Abstract: A charging device for a curbstone, a paving stone, or a curbstone for charging a battery of an electric car. The charging device includes a main body, a protective cover, an interface unit, a power supply unit and an electronic component which generates heat. The main body has an accommodating space, and an outer wall having an inner wall surface which faces an outer wall surface. The protection cover closes the accommodating space. The power supply cable projects into the accommodating space. The electronic component is arranged in the accommodating space and connects the interface unit to the power supply cable. The electronic component either directly abuts against the inner wall surface of the outer wall to conduct heat, or a heat-conducting body is arranged to extend at least from the electronic component to the inner wall surface. The outer wall surface rests against surrounding soil or against a foundation.

  • Patent number: 12324104
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a machining station for machining platelike workpieces (1) by means of at least one tool (10, 13, 14). The machining station has a measuring device (16) for acquiring data relating to the position of bores, a drill (10, 13, 14) for generating bores in the workpiece (1), and a data processor (17) for processing data of the at least one measuring device (16) and/or for controlling the at least one drill (10, 13, 14). The data processor (17) is here suitable and set up for performing an adjustment between a desired drilling position and/or a desired bore depth and an actual position and/or actual depth as determined by the at least one measuring device (16) for a bore present in the workpiece (1), and adapting the drilling position and/or bore depth for generating bores by means of the at least one drill (10, 13, 14).
