FIG. 5 , in theconnection device 1 according to the embodiment, the sectional configuration parallel to the second direction (one direction), of theconducting part 39 is in a convex shape C2. A vertex T1 of the convex shaped conductingpart 39 projects outward. Also, each conductingpart 39 curves forward. -
FIG. 6 shows an essential part of thesupport block 6. Both thestopper 40 and thespring 37 are positioned behind (the second side in the first direction) themovable terminal block 38 and the conductingpart 39. Thespring 37 is provided between thestopper 40 and the supportingbase 35. In this case, thespring 37 is positioned inside of a guide provided on the supportingbase 35. Also, thestopper 40 includes aprojection 40a extracted from aninner surface 401 to the supportingbase 35. Theprojection 40a projects into an inner hollow of thespring 37. Hence, thespring 37 is retained between thestopper 40 and the supportingbase 35. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , the amount of the projection of thestopper 40 is limited by the movable terminal block 38 (see a projection-control part 381 in the drawing for detail). - As shown in
FIG. 7 , in the sectional configuration of the wall part F parallel to a third direction, the outer surface F1 of the wall part F of thesupport block 6 includes a curved shape CV. Here, the third direction defines a right-left direction of thecleaning device 1 shown in for exampleFIG.4 . - In the wall part F of the
support block 6, as shown inFIG. 7 , the more than two (three in the drawing) conductingparts 39 are provided in predefined intervals in the third direction. Those conductingparts 39 can individually retract in the first direction against the bias of thespring 37. - Further, as shown in
FIG. 4 , theconnection device 1 according to the embodiment includes along groove 60 extending in the second direction, in an area surrounding the conductingpart 39 of the wall part F, and the conductingpart 39 is positioned inside thislong groove 60. - Further, more than two (three in drawing)
long grooves 60 are provided in predefined intervals in the wall part F along the third direction. - In the
connection device 1, the conductingpart 39 is positioned inside of thelong groove 60 formed in the wall part F of thesupport block 6 in the third direction (longitudinal direction). In the conductingpart 39, the vertex T1 of the convex shape C2 (theouter surface 3901 of the conducting part 39) is provided at the same surface level as the outer surface F1 of the wall part F. In the example ofFIG. 4 , a recess is provided in a part (upper part) of the centrallong groove 60, and thehole 601 is provided in other part. In this way, theouter surface 3901 of the conductingpart 39 is exposed by thehole 601. Further, an upper end side surface of the conductingpart 39 is substantially at the same surface level as the recess. In short, the upper end side surface of the conductingpart 39 is located at the same surface level as the recess, or behind the recess. When the terminal Eb is in contact with theouter surface 3901 of the conductingpart 39 along the longitudinal direction, the conductingpart 39 is configured to shift sufficiently in the front-back direction in response to a connecting position with the terminal Eb and the projection amount of thespring 37. Therefore, it is possible to improve accuracy of charging or communication that is performed between the conductingpart 39 and the terminal Eb. Further, there is a possibility of damaging the outer surface of the electrical apparatus E, if the conductingpart 39 is projected from the outer surface F1 of the wall part F. Hence, it is preferable that the vertex T1 of the conductingpart 39 is at the same surface level as the outer surface F1 of the wall part F. As shown inFIG. 1 , the conductingpart 39 includes the convex shape C2, and further the recess and the upper end surface of the conductingpart 39 are substantially at the same surface level as each other. For this reason, the conductingpart 39 can be shifted sufficiently in the forward-back direction, and further, it is possible to decrease chances of the terminal Eb being hooked to an inner surface of thehole 601 upon attaching and removing of the electrical apparatus E. Therefore, it is possible to decrease chances of the terminal Eb being hooked to the inner surface of thehole 601 and suppress the damage of terminal Eb for example, when the electrical apparatus E is positioned into theconnection device 1 or the electrical apparatus E is removed from theconnection device 1. Also, when the blade head Ea of the electrical apparatus E is inserted in the cleaningpart 20, the outer surface F1 of the wall part F of thesupport block 6 comes into contact with the outer surface of the electrical apparatus E, and it is possible to suppress the possibility of the conductingpart 39 damaging the outer surface of the electrical apparatus E by providing theouter surface 3901 of the conductingpart 39 at the same surface level as the outer surface F1, and positioning the conductingpart 39 behind the outer surface F1. - Further, the terminal Eb of the electrical apparatus E being in contact with the conducting
part 39, projects above the outer surface of the electrical apparatus E. However, the conductingpart 39 is located near the vertex T of the outer surface F1 of thesupport block 6, and further, when the blade head Ea of the electrical apparatus E is inserted in the cleaningpart 20, the terminal Eb comes in contact with the conductingpart 39 after passing on thelong groove 60 provided in the wall part F of thesupport block 6 in the third direction. Therefore, it is possible to suppress possibility of the terminal Eb damaging the outer surface F1 of the wall part F of thesupport block 6. - Note that, as shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 8 , a contact pressure between the terminal Eb and the conductingpart 39 is maintained by the terminal Eb pressing the conductingpart 39 against thespring 37. Further, since in longitudinal plan the conductingpart 39 includes the convex shape C2, the conductingpart 39 can give optimum operational feeling when the electrical apparatus E is positioned. Furthermore, the electrical apparatus E smoothly enters a state where maximum pressure from elastic bias of thespring 37 is given when the terminal Eb of the electrical apparatus E slides and comes into contact with the conductingpart 39. - A variation of the connection device according to the embodiment is shown in
FIG. 9 . A basic configuration of the variation is similar to the above mentioned embodiment. However, the variation shown inFIG. 9 is different in thatconcave surfaces 61, each of which is for leveling an outer surface F1 of a wall part F with a surface of a conductingpart 39, are provided. On both lateral sides of eachlong groove 60 provided in the wall part F, twoconcave surfaces 61 are respectively provided so as to correspond to a vertex T of a convex shape C1 which projects to the front of the outer surface F1 of the wall part F of asupport block 6. The concave surfaces 61 can prevent occurrence of an uneven surface caused by a difference between a curvature of the convex shape C1 of the outer surface F1 which is located on the wall part F of thesupport block 6 and a curvature of a convex shape C2 projecting to front of the conductingpart 39. Further, by providing theconcave surfaces 61 on the both lateral sides of eachlong groove 60, the wall part F, providing the conductingpart 39, can include a plan with reduced uneven surface between the convex shape C1 and the convex shape C2 in the right-left direction. This can reduce a terminal Eb being hooked to an inside surface of ahole 601 when the terminal Eb is slid in the right-left direction. Furthermore, the wall part F including the plan with reduced uneven surface as mentioned above, allows communization of more than two (three in the figure) parts provided in thesupport block 6 such as the conductingpart 39. In addition, it is possible to notify a user of the position of the conductingpart 39 in a way so that the user can identify the position of the conductingpart 39 instinctively. As well as that, theconcave surfaces 61 can accommodate a change of a shape of the conductingpart 39 or position of a terminal Eb of the electrical apparatus E through changing a shape or position of the concave surfaces 61.
Claims (5)
- A connection device for an electrical apparatus, comprising:a conducting part which comes into contact with a terminal projecting from an outer surface of the electrical apparatus to establish an electrical connection for charging or communication; anda housing,wherein the housing comprises:a wall part; anda hole which exposes the conducting part and is formed in the wall part of the housing, andwherein an outer surface of the conducting part is located closer to an inside of the housing than an outer surface of the wall part, or at the same surface level as the outer surface of the wall part.
