Description

本発明は、被充電機器を保持する保持部を有する本体部と、前記被充電機器を前記保持部に保持した状態で、前記被充電機器の入力端子に電気的に接続する充電端子と、前記本体部を揺動可能に支持するベース部とを備えた充電装置に関する。 The present invention includes a main body having a holding unit for holding a device to be charged, a charging terminal electrically connected to an input terminal of the device to be charged in a state where the device to be charged is held in the holding unit, The present invention relates to a charging device including a base portion that supports a main body portion in a swingable manner.

従来、充電装置として、充電装置の本体部に例えば携帯電話等の被充電機器を保持する保持部を備えるとともに、被充電機器を保持した状態で被充電機器の入力端子に電気的に接続する充電端子を備えた充電装置が知られている（例えば特許文献１）。
この充電装置では、充電装置本体部に保持部としての凹部が一体的に形成してあり、当該凹部に被充電機器を載置することにより、充電端子が被充電機器の入力端子に電気的に接続して充電を行う。 Conventionally, as a charging device, a charging unit that includes a holding unit that holds a charged device such as a mobile phone in the main body of the charging device and that is electrically connected to an input terminal of the charged device while holding the charged device A charging device including a terminal is known (for example, Patent Document 1).

Connect and charge.

特開２００５−３１８７３４号公報（［００２２］段落及び図１）。Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-318734 (paragraph [0022] and FIG. 1).

従来の充電装置では、本体部に保持部としての凹部が一体的に設けてあるので、凹部の形状によって保持部に保持した状態での被充電機器の姿勢が決まり、充電中の被充電機器の姿勢が制限されていた。このため、例えばテレビ付携帯電話の液晶画面など、充電しつつ被充電機器の画面を見たい場合に見づらい場合があった。 In the conventional charging device, since the concave portion as the holding portion is integrally provided in the main body portion, the posture of the device to be charged in the state of being held in the holding portion is determined by the shape of the concave portion, and the charged device to be charged is charged. The posture was restricted. For this reason, it may be difficult to see the screen of the device to be charged while charging, such as a liquid crystal screen of a mobile phone with a television.

本願は上述の問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は充電装置の保持部に被充電機器を保持する際に画面の視認性を高めた充電装置を提供することにある。 The present application has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present application is to provide a charging device that improves the visibility of the screen when the device to be charged is held in the holding unit of the charging device.

本発明の第一特徴構成は、被充電機器を保持する保持部を有する本体部と、前記被充電機器を前記保持部に保持した状態で、前記被充電機器の入力端子に電気的に接続する充電端子と、前記本体部を揺動可能に支持するベース部とを備えており、前記本体部および前記ベース部は、前記ベース部に対する前記本体部の傾斜姿勢を所定の範囲内で任意に保持するよう互いに当接する押圧部および被押圧部を各別に備え、当該押圧部および被押圧部が、前記ベース部に対する前記本体部の傾倒角度が大きいほど互いの押圧力が増大するよう構成してある点にある。 The first characteristic configuration of the present invention is that a main body having a holding unit for holding a device to be charged and electrically connected to an input terminal of the device to be charged in a state where the device to be charged is held by the holding unit. A charging terminal and a base part that supports the main body part so as to be swingable are provided, and the main body part and the base part arbitrarily hold an inclination posture of the main body part with respect to the base part within a predetermined range. The pressing portion and the pressed portion that are in contact with each other are provided separately, and the pressing portion and the pressed portion are configured such that the pressing force of each other increases as the tilt angle of the main body portion with respect to the base portion increases. In the point.

本構成により、本体部およびベース部が、ベース部に対する本体部の傾斜姿勢を所定の範囲内で任意に保持するよう互いに当接する押圧部および被押圧部を各別に備えるので、被充電機器の姿勢を前記任意の姿勢で保持しつつ被充電機器の充電を行うことができる。
また、本体部の姿勢が変化し、揺動中心に対する重心のオフセット量が大きくなるほど本体部は傾倒しやすくなる。しかし、本構成によれば、押圧部および被押圧部が、ベース部に対する前記本体部の傾倒角度が大きいほど互いの押圧力が増大するよう構成してあるので、本体部の傾倒角度が大きくなり揺動中心に対する重心のオフセットが大きくなると押圧力も増大する。この結果、本体部の傾倒角度に関わらず本体部の姿勢を保持することができる。 With this configuration, the main body unit and the base unit each include a pressing unit and a pressed unit that are in contact with each other so as to arbitrarily hold the tilting posture of the main body unit with respect to the base unit within a predetermined range. Can be charged while holding in any posture.
In addition, as the posture of the main body changes and the offset amount of the center of gravity with respect to the center of swing increases, the main body tends to tilt. However, according to this configuration, the pressing portion and the pressed portion are configured such that the pressing force increases as the tilting angle of the main body with respect to the base increases, so the tilting angle of the main body increases. When the offset of the center of gravity with respect to the swing center increases, the pressing force also increases. As a result, the posture of the main body can be maintained regardless of the tilt angle of the main body.

本発明の第二特徴構成は、前記被押圧部を、板状弾性部材で構成し、前記押圧部を、前記本体部の傾倒角度が大きいほど前記板状弾性部材に対する突出量が増大する突出片で構成してある点にある。 According to a second characteristic configuration of the present invention, the pressed portion is configured by a plate-like elastic member, and the protruding piece has a protruding amount that increases with respect to the plate-like elastic member as the tilt angle of the main body portion increases. It is in the point comprised by.

本構成により、被押圧部を板状弾性部材で構成し、押圧部を本体部の傾倒角度が大きいほど板状弾性部材に対する突出量が増大する突出片で構成してあるので、突出片が突出する際の板状弾性部材の弾性力を利用して押圧力を容易に調節することができる。 According to this configuration, the pressed portion is configured by a plate-like elastic member, and the pressing portion is configured by a protruding piece whose protruding amount with respect to the plate-like elastic member increases as the tilt angle of the main body portion increases, so that the protruding piece protrudes. The pressing force can be easily adjusted using the elastic force of the plate-like elastic member.

本発明の第三特徴構成は、前記本体部は、前記ベース部との間に設けた枢支部により支持されており、前記板状弾性部材を前記枢支部の軸心に対して略接線方向に配置すると共に、前記突出片を、前記軸心の周りに形成したカム面とした点にある。 According to a third characteristic configuration of the present invention, the main body portion is supported by a pivot portion provided between the base portion and the plate-like elastic member in a substantially tangential direction with respect to the axis of the pivot portion. In addition to the arrangement, the protruding piece is a cam surface formed around the axis.

本構成の如く、枢支部の軸心の周りに形成したカム面が、枢支部に対して略接線方向に設けた板状弾性部材に突出することにより、本体部とベース部との相対変位部を利用して傾倒角度が大きいほど押圧力が増大する構成を得ることができる。この結果、簡単な構成で本体部の姿勢保持を行うことができる充電装置を得ることができる。 As in this configuration, the cam surface formed around the axial center of the pivot portion protrudes from a plate-like elastic member provided in a substantially tangential direction with respect to the pivot portion, thereby causing a relative displacement portion between the main body portion and the base portion. Using this, it is possible to obtain a configuration in which the pressing force increases as the tilt angle increases. As a result, it is possible to obtain a charging device that can hold the posture of the main body with a simple configuration.

以下、本発明の実施形態の一例について図面に基づいて説明する。ここでは、本発明を携帯電話Ｋの充電装置１に適用した例を示す。 Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, the example which applied this invention to the charging device 1 of the mobile telephone K is shown.

Yes. The protruding piece 33a has a cam surface, and is configured such that the protruding amount of the pressing portion 33 toward the plate-like elastic member 51 increases as the tilt angle of the main body 2 with respect to the base 3 increases. It is. On the other hand, a plate-like elastic member 51 is arranged in a substantially tangential direction of the pivot piece 32 provided with the shaft portion 32 a, and the pivot piece 32 is located on the plate-like elastic member 51 side in the swing range of the main body 2. Is configured not to protrude. Further, the protruding piece 33 a and the plate-like elastic member 51 are arranged so that the protruding piece 33 a presses the substantially central portion of the plate-like elastic member 51.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the width of the groove 22 a is configured to be substantially the same as the width between the pivot piece 32 and the pressing portion 33, and the positional deviation in the axial direction of the main body 2 with respect to the base 3. Can be prevented.

上述の枢支穴部２２ｂ及び軸部３２ａは、ベース部３に本体部２を枢支する枢支部を構成する。なお、上述の実施形態では突出片３３ａを夫々の枢支片３２の付近に設ける例を示したが、例えば二つの枢支片３２の中間部に突出片３３ａを一つ設ける等上述以外の構造であってもよい。また、軸部３２ａを設けた枢支片３２にカム面を設ける構成であってもよい。また、本体部２とベース部３との枢支構造は本体部２の側に軸部２２ｂを設け、ベース３の側に枢支穴部３２ａを設ける等上述以外の構成であってもよい。 The above-mentioned pivot support hole 22b and the shaft portion 32a constitute a pivot support portion that pivotally supports the main body portion 2 on the base portion 3. In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the protruding piece 33a is provided in the vicinity of each pivot piece 32 has been described. However, for example, a single protruding piece 33a is provided in the middle portion between the two pivot pieces 32. It may be. Moreover, the structure which provides a cam surface in the pivot piece 32 which provided the axial part 32a may be sufficient. Further, the pivot structure of the main body 2 and the base 3 may have a configuration other than that described above, such as providing the shaft 22b on the main body 2 side and providing the pivot hole 32a on the base 3 side.

〔位置保持機構〕
本体部２は、軸部３２ａを中心に、ベース部３に対する本体部２の傾倒角度が小さい第一姿勢（図６（ａ）参照）と、ベース部３に対する本体部２の傾倒角度が大きい第二姿勢（図７（ａ）参照）との間で揺動可能である。第一姿勢と第二姿勢との間の揺動範囲の全ての位置において突出片３３ａが開口部２２ｃから板状弾性部材５１の側に突出して、突出片３３ａが板状弾性部材５１を押圧している。このため、ベース部３の側の押圧部３３と、本体部２の側の板状弾性部材５１との間に摩擦力が生じ、ベース部３に対する本体部２の姿勢を第一姿勢と第二姿勢との間の任意の姿勢で保持することができる。 (Position holding mechanism)
The main body 2 has a first posture (see FIG. 6A) in which the tilt angle of the main body 2 with respect to the base 3 is small around the shaft portion 32a and a first tilt in which the tilt of the main body 2 with respect to the base 3 is large. It can swing between two postures (see FIG. 7A). The protruding piece 33a protrudes from the opening 22c toward the plate-like elastic member 51 at all positions in the swing range between the first posture and the second posture, and the protruding piece 33a presses the plate-like elastic member 51. ing. For this reason, a frictional force is generated between the pressing portion 33 on the base portion 3 side and the plate-like elastic member 51 on the main body portion 2 side, and the posture of the main body portion 2 with respect to the base portion 3 is set to the first posture and the second posture. It can be held in any posture between the postures.

また、図６（ｂ）及び図７（ｂ）に示すように、本体部２が第一姿勢の側から第二姿勢の側に近づくほど、突出片３３ａの板状弾性部材５１の側への突出量が大きくなる。本体部２の姿勢が第一姿勢の側から第二姿勢の側に変化し、揺動中心に対する重心のオフセット量が大きくなるほど本体部２は傾倒しやすくなる。しかし、本体部２が第一姿勢の側から第二姿勢の側に近づくほど、突出片３２ａの板状弾性部材５１の側への突出量が大きくなるように構成することにより、本体部２が第二姿勢の側に近づき揺動中心に対する重心のオフセットが大きくなると、押圧力も増大する。この結果、本体部２のベース部３に対する傾倒角度の大きい第二姿勢の付近でも確実に姿勢を保持することができる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 6B and 7B, the closer the main body 2 is to the second posture side from the first posture side, the more the protruding piece 33 a moves to the plate-like elastic member 51 side. The amount of protrusion increases. As the posture of the main body portion 2 changes from the first posture side to the second posture side and the offset amount of the center of gravity with respect to the center of swing increases, the main body portion 2 is more easily tilted. However, the main body 2 is configured so that the amount of protrusion of the protruding piece 32a toward the plate-like elastic member 51 increases as the main body 2 approaches the second position from the first position. When approaching the second posture side and the offset of the center of gravity with respect to the swing center increases, the pressing force also increases. As a result, the posture can be reliably held even in the vicinity of the second posture where the tilt angle with respect to the base portion 3 of the main body 2 is large.

被押圧部５としての板状弾性部材５１と、押圧部３３としての突出片３３ａは位置保持機構を構成する。
上述のように、被押圧部５を板状弾性部材５１で構成することにより、板状弾性部材５１の弾性力を利用して押圧力を調節することができる。また、枢支部３２の付近に形成したカム面が、枢支片３２に対して略接線方向に設けた板状弾性部材５１に突出することにより、本体部２とベース部３との相対変位部を利用して傾倒角度が大きいほど押圧力が増大する構成を得ることができる。この結果、簡単な構成で本体部２の姿勢保持を行うことができる充電装置１を得ることができる。 The plate-like elastic member 51 as the pressed part 5 and the protruding piece 33a as the pressing part 33 constitute a position holding mechanism.
As described above, by configuring the pressed portion 5 with the plate-like elastic member 51, the pressing force can be adjusted using the elastic force of the plate-like elastic member 51. In addition, the cam surface formed in the vicinity of the pivotal support portion 32 protrudes from the plate-like elastic member 51 provided in a substantially tangential direction with respect to the pivotal support piece 32, whereby the relative displacement portion between the main body portion 2 and the base portion 3. Using this, it is possible to obtain a configuration in which the pressing force increases as the tilt angle increases. As a result, the charging device 1 that can hold the posture of the main body 2 with a simple configuration can be obtained.
