  • Patent number: 11338693
    Abstract: A method is provided for charging a battery-operated vehicle having a chargeable traction energy store and a system for autonomously guiding the vehicle with a charging vehicle having an energy generator and/or an energy store. The method forms at least one electrical coupling between the battery-operated vehicle and the charging vehicle via an autonomous driving manoeuver of the battery-operated vehicle and/or the charging vehicle. A charging of the traction energy store of the battery-operated vehicle occurs via the energy generator and/or the energy store of the charging vehicle during the driving of the paired battery-operated vehicle and charging vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10434825
    Abstract: An assembly supplies compressed air to a wheel of a vehicle. The assembly includes a wheel with a tire, a drive shaft for transmitting torque to the wheel, a wheel bearing on which the wheel in mounted in a rotationally fixed manner, and a toothing between the drive shaft and the wheel bearing. The wheel bearing is tensioned with the drive shaft by a bolt, wherein the bolt is arranged coaxially in relation to the drive shaft. An annular chamber of the wheel bearing is defined inside the wheel bearing and radially outside of the bolt. A compressed air through-opening is provided from the annular chamber of the wheel bearing in the direction of the wheel. A compressed air guide, leads from a compressed air source on the vehicle side into the annular chamber of the wheel bearing, from the annular chamber of the wheel bearing via the at least one compressed air through-opening to the wheel, and from the wheel into the tire.
