Description

本発明は、ＡＣプラグを回転することにより本体に収納可能なバッテリー充電器に関する発明である。   The present invention relates to a battery charger that can be stored in a main body by rotating an AC plug.

近年、電子機器のバッテリー充電器は、携帯性や安全性の向上の為に充電器本体から突出したＡＣプラグを回転することにより本体に収納可能な構成としたものが多くなってきている。   In recent years, battery chargers for electronic devices have been increasingly configured to be housed in a main body by rotating an AC plug protruding from the main body of the charger for improving portability and safety.

このようなＡＣプラグを収納可能な携帯型充電器において、ＡＣプラグの収納時にＡＣプラグのブレード部が収納されているスペースはＡＣプラグを突出させてバッテリーの充電を行う際には無駄なスペースになるためＡＣプラグを効率よく配置する必要がある。   In such a portable charger that can store an AC plug, the space where the blade portion of the AC plug is stored when the AC plug is stored is a useless space when the battery is charged by protruding the AC plug. Therefore, it is necessary to efficiently arrange the AC plug.

そのため、充電器本体の底部にＡＣプラグ収納部を形成し、ＡＣプラグ収納部にＡＣプラグを水平方向の軸心を中心に１８０°回転可能に設けた携帯充電器のプラグ装置が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
特開平９−６３６８６号公報 For this reason, there has been proposed a plug device for a portable charger in which an AC plug housing portion is formed at the bottom of the charger body, and the AC plug is provided in the AC plug housing portion so as to be rotatable by 180 ° about a horizontal axis. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
JP-A-9-63686

しかしながら、上記のように充電器本体の底部にＡＣプラグ収納部を形成した構成では、バッテリー充電器本体の内部にＡＣプラグのブレードを収納する空間を設ける必要がある。よって、ＡＣプラグのブレードを収納するスペースがＡＣプラグを突出させた状態では無駄な空間である為、バッテリー充電器の小型化を妨げる要因となる。   However, in the configuration in which the AC plug storage portion is formed at the bottom of the charger main body as described above, it is necessary to provide a space for storing the blade of the AC plug inside the battery charger main body. Therefore, the space for storing the blade of the AC plug is a wasteful space in a state where the AC plug protrudes, which becomes a factor that hinders downsizing of the battery charger.

更に、バッテリー充電器本体の内部にＡＣプラグを収納した状態から回転させてＡＣプラグが突出した状態にする構造では、ＡＣプラグを引起す為にブレードの先端部に指を入れるスペースを確保する必要があり、これもバッテリー充電器の小型化を妨げる。   Furthermore, in the structure in which the AC plug is rotated from the state in which the AC plug is housed inside the battery charger body and the AC plug protrudes, it is necessary to secure a space for inserting a finger at the tip of the blade in order to raise the AC plug. This also hinders the downsizing of battery chargers.

本発明は、バッテリーが収納されるバッテリー収納部と、使用状態と収納状態に変位するＡＣプラグのブレードとを有する充電器であって、前記ＡＣプラグのブレードが前記収納状態にあるときに、前記ＡＣプラグのブレードが前記バッテリー収納部内に位置することを特徴とする。   The present invention is a battery charger having a battery storage portion in which a battery is stored and a blade of an AC plug that is displaced to a use state and a storage state, and when the blade of the AC plug is in the storage state, The blade of the AC plug is located in the battery storage unit.

本発明によれば、電池パックを取り付けて充電を行っていない状態の充電器の電池室の空間を効率よく使用するで、より小さいスペースでＡＣプラグ部を構成し、更にＡＣプラグのブレードの周囲の空間を広く設けることが可能となる。   According to the present invention, the space of the battery chamber of the charger that is not charged with the battery pack attached is efficiently used, so that the AC plug portion is configured in a smaller space, and further, the periphery of the blade of the AC plug. It is possible to provide a wide space.

この結果、小型で容易にＡＣプラグに指を掛け回転させることが可能であるバッテリー充電器を構成することが可能となる。   As a result, it is possible to configure a battery charger that is small and can be easily rotated by placing a finger on the AC plug.
