に成形する必要があり、製造原価が高くなる。However, such a conventional inductive charging connector for electric vehicles has the following problems. (1) Charging a battery of an electric vehicle requires a long time (for example, 4 to 8 hours). This charging is often performed at night. During this time, especially for outdoor charging,
It has to be left in the state shown in FIG. 12 for a long time, and the state is unprotected against mischief. For this reason, there is a risk of mischief such as removal of terminals, introduction of sand and water. (2) The lid of the receptacle is open during charging, and rainwater, dust, and the like may enter the rectangular gap between the receptacle 9a and the paddle 6 when left outdoors for a long time. (3) The receptacle 9a and the paddle 6 have a rectangular cross section, and it is necessary to insert the paddle 6 in the correct direction with respect to the receptacle 9a. Further, if the position of the charger and the position of the vehicle are displaced due to the directionality at the time of insertion, an excessive force is applied to the charger and its wiring, and the durability is reduced. (4) Since the receiving port 9a has a rectangular cross section, the power receiving charge port 9 has a rectangular cross section, so that when the power receiving charging port 9 is mounted on an electric vehicle, a wasteful space is easily formed and a compact design is not possible. (5) The handle of the paddle 6 needs to be formed separately from the wiring outlet, which increases the manufacturing cost.
