As shown by the arrow in FIG. 10 (d), each terminal 43 provided in this terminal holder 23 protrudes from each terminal hole 5 of the placement portion 1. As a result, each terminal 43 protruding from the placement portion 1 comes into contact with each terminal on the mobile phone side, and charging or data transmission / reception is possible.

[Operation of rotating damper gear]
Here, as described above, when the mobile phone is completely placed on the placement unit 1, the pressing unit 75 of the rotation lock unit 56 is pressed by the lock release button 25 of the turn arm 21, The lock by the rotation lock part 56 is released, and each terminal 43 protrudes from the mounting part 1. At this time, the rotary damper gear part 53 decelerates the protrusion speed of each terminal 43. ing.

That is, the gear portion 46 provided in the terminal holder 23 is engaged with the rotary damper gear portion 53 provided on the inner chassis 24 side as shown in FIG. When the terminal 43 protrudes, the rotary damper gear portion 53 is rotated by the gear portion 46. Since the rotary damper gear portion 53 is formed of an oil damper as described above, the rotational operation speed by the gear portion 46 is reduced by hydraulic pressure. Thereby, the protrusion speed of each terminal 43 can be decelerated, and each terminal 43 protruding from the placement portion 1 can be brought into contact with the terminal on the mobile phone side at an appropriate speed.

[Operation when removing mobile phone]
The above is the description of the operation of the terminal protruding mechanism 2 when the mobile phone is placed on the placing portion 1. However, when the mobile phone placed on the placing portion 1 is removed, the terminal protruding mechanism is shown. 2 performs an operation traced in the order of FIG. 10 (d) → FIG. 10 (c) → FIG. 10 (b) → FIG. 10 (a). Since it overlaps with the above description of the operation when the mobile phone is placed, it will be briefly described. When the mobile phone is removed from the placement portion 1, the spring member 80 that connects the turn arm 21 and the terminal holder 23 is biased. The terminal holder 23 is rotated in the anti-projection direction of the terminal 43 by the force, and the riding part 45 of the terminal holder 23 is put on the support part 74 of the rotation lock part 56, and the terminal holder 23 is again pushed by the rotation lock part 56. While returning to the locked state, each terminal 43 of the terminal holder 23 is accommodated in the housing 3. In addition, the projecting portion 6 of the turn arm 21 returns to the state of projecting from the projecting portion hole 7 of the mounting portion 1 by the biasing force of the spring member 80 that connects the turn arm 21 and the terminal holder 23.

As described above, since the gear portion 46 of the terminal holder 23 and the rotary damper gear portion 53 are engaged, even when the mobile phone placed on the placement portion 1 is removed, the rotary damper gear is removed. The unit 53 acts to decelerate the storage speed of each terminal 43 stored in the housing 3. Thereby, when the mobile phone placed on the placement portion 1 is removed, the terminals 43 housed in the housing 3 are housed in the housing 3 at a slow speed.

[Effect of the embodiment]
As is apparent from the above description, the charger of this embodiment is interlocked with the turn arm 21 when the protruding portion 6 of the turn arm 21 is pressed by the mobile phone placed on the placement portion 1. The turn lever 22 that makes contact with the turn lever support portion 44 of the terminal holder 23 delays the contact between the lock release button 25 of the turn arm 21 and the pressing portion 75 of the rotation lock portion 56. Further, when the projecting portion 6 of the turn arm 21 is further pressed, the turn lever 22 in contact with the turn lever support portion 44 rotates in the counter-biasing direction of the turn lever 22, thereby turning the turn arm 21. The lock release button 25 and the pressing portion of the rotation lock portion 56 are brought into contact with each other, and the pressing portion 75 of the rotation lock portion 56 is pressed by the lock release button 25, whereby the rotation lock portion 56 is moved in the pressing direction. By rotating, the support portion 74 of the terminal holder 23 by the support portion 74 of the rotation lock portion 56 is released, and the terminal holder 23 biased by the spring member 80 is rotated in the protruding direction of each terminal 43. Then, each terminal 43 is protruded from the mounting portion 1.

  That is, until the mobile phone is completely placed on the placement portion 1, the turn lever 22 contacts the turn lever support portion 44 of the terminal holder 23 to rotate with the lock release button 25 of the turn arm 21. The contact of the lock part 56 with the pressing part 75 is delayed to prevent the terminals 43 of the terminal holder 23 from protruding from the placement part 1.

  Further, when the mobile phone is completely placed on the placing portion 1, the turn lever 22 rotates in the counter-biasing direction of the turn lever 22, so that the lock release button of the turn arm 21 is turned on. 25 and the pressing portion 75 of the rotation lock portion 56 are brought into contact with each other. Then, the pressing portion 75 is pressed by the lock release button 25 to rotate the rotation lock portion 56, and the support of the riding portion 45 of the terminal holder 23 by the support portion 74 of the rotation lock portion 56 is released. Thereby, the terminal holder 23 biased by the spring member 80 rotates in the protruding direction of each terminal 43, and causes each terminal 43 to protrude from the mounting portion 1.

  Thereby, each terminal 43 can be protruded from the mounting part 1 at the timing when the mobile phone is completely mounted on the mounting part 1. For this reason, each terminal 43 protrudes before the mobile phone is completely placed on the placement portion 1, so that the mobile phone collides with each protruding terminal 43, the terminal 43 is bent, and the mobile phone is damaged. Inconvenience can be prevented.

  Moreover, as for the charger of this embodiment, the mounting part 1 has a substantially box shape with a shallow bottom. For this reason, the mounting direction of the mobile phone with respect to the placing portion 1 can be expanded in multiple directions.

  In addition, when the shape of the placement unit 1 is a substantially box shape with a shallow bottom, depending on the direction in which the mobile phone is placed, each terminal 43 may be connected before the mobile phone is completely placed on the placement unit 1. Although it may protrude, in the case of the charger according to the embodiment, no matter what direction the mobile phone is placed on the placement unit 1, it is portable with respect to the placement unit 1 as described above. Since the terminal 43 can be prevented from protruding until the telephone is completely placed, the mobile telephone collides with each terminal 43 that protrudes before the portable telephone is completely placed on the placing portion 1. Thus, it is possible to prevent the terminal 43 from being bent and the mobile phone from being damaged.

  In the charger according to this embodiment, the height of each terminal 43 protruding from the terminal holder 23 is slightly lower than the height of the anode terminal and the cathode terminal. For this reason, when each terminal 43 is brought into contact with the mobile phone, the data terminal can be brought into contact with the mobile phone after the anode terminal and the cathode terminal are brought into contact with the mobile phone first. For this reason, it is possible to transmit and receive data through the data terminal after energizing the mobile phone through the anode terminal and the cathode terminal which are previously brought into contact with each other. And since the order which each terminal contact | abuts to a mobile telephone can be controlled mechanically in this way, the electrical control of the order of electricity supply and data transmission / reception can be made unnecessary.

Further, the charger of this embodiment can reduce the protruding speed of each terminal 43 by the gear portion 46 provided on the terminal holder 23 and the rotary damper gear portion 53 provided on the inner chassis 24 side. Therefore, each terminal 43 protruding from the placement unit 1 can be brought into contact with the terminal on the mobile phone side at an appropriate speed.
