CHARGING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A CHARGING DEVICE

The invention relates to a charging device (10), comprising an emitter coil (18) for inducing a current in a receiver coil; a detecting unit for detecting a relative positioning of the emitter coil (18) to the receiver coil; a spiral guiding (26); a disc (20) arranged between the emitter coil (18) and the spiral guiding (26), whereby the disc (20) is pivotable about a rotation axis (28) and comprises a radial guiding slot (30); a connecting element (24) which is movably guided by means of the spiral guiding (26) as well as by means of the radial guiding slot (30) of the disc (20) and is at least indirectly connected to the emitter coil (18); a motor (24) for rotating the disc (20) and a control unit (16) designed to control the motor (24) depending on the detected relative positioning of the emitter coil (18) to the receiver coil for aligning them to each other with a predetermined accuracy. The invention also relates to a method for operating a charging device (10).
