以下、本発明の一実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

図１〜図４は本発明の一実施形態を示す。図１〜図３に示すように、電気自動車の充電ポート１は、車体（図示せず）の外形を形成する、例えばフェンダーパネル・フードパネル等の車体パネル（図示せず）の一面に設けられた凹状の収容部２と、この収容部２内に配置された充電用接続部である充電ソケット部３と、収容部２内に配置された照明手段である照明部４と、照明部４に付設されたスイッチ７と、収容部２内を開閉する蓋体５とを備えている。   1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the charging port 1 of the electric vehicle is provided on one surface of a vehicle body panel (not shown) such as a fender panel or a hood panel that forms the outer shape of the vehicle body (not shown). The concave housing portion 2, the charging socket portion 3 that is a charging connection portion disposed in the housing portion 2, the illumination portion 4 that is an illumination means disposed in the housing portion 2, and the illumination portion 4 An attached switch 7 and a lid 5 that opens and closes the inside of the housing portion 2 are provided.

収容部２は、奥側の衝立面２ａと底面２ｂと左右の側面２ｃより構成されており、車体の外側に開放されている。   The accommodating part 2 is composed of a rear partition surface 2a, a bottom surface 2b, and left and right side surfaces 2c, and is open to the outside of the vehicle body.

充電ソケット部３は、収容部２の奥側の衝立面２ａに配置されている。充電ソケット部３は、３本のスリーブ１０と、これらの内部に配置された３本のロッド端子１１と、スリーブ１０の外周側に配置された位置決め溝１２と、スリーブ１０及び位置決め溝１２を開閉する内蓋１３とを有する。充電設備側の接続機器であるプラグ（図示せず）は、位置決め溝１２に回転方向の位置合わせをした状態でのみ充電ソケット部３に装着される。   The charging socket portion 3 is disposed on the partition surface 2 a on the back side of the housing portion 2. The charging socket unit 3 opens and closes the three sleeves 10, the three rod terminals 11 disposed inside the sleeves 10, the positioning groove 12 disposed on the outer peripheral side of the sleeve 10, and the sleeve 10 and the positioning groove 12. And an inner lid 13. A plug (not shown) which is a connecting device on the charging facility side is attached to the charging socket portion 3 only in a state where the positioning groove 12 is aligned in the rotational direction.

照明部４は、収容部２の底面２ｂに配置されている。照明部４は、ＲＧＢ（赤、緑、青）発光部を有するＬＥＤ（Ｌｉｇｈｔ Ｅｍｉｔｔｉｎｇ Ｄｉｏｄｅ）２０と、ＬＥＤ２０の外周を被うカバー２１とを備えている。カバー２１には、レンズ部２１ａが設けられている。照明部４は、下方から充電ソケット部３とその周辺を照らす。照明部４は、制御部３０によって点灯・消灯等が制御される。   The illumination unit 4 is disposed on the bottom surface 2 b of the storage unit 2. The illumination unit 4 includes an LED (Light Emitting Diode) 20 having an RGB (red, green, blue) light emitting unit, and a cover 21 that covers the outer periphery of the LED 20. The cover 21 is provided with a lens portion 21a. The illumination unit 4 illuminates the charging socket unit 3 and its periphery from below. The lighting unit 4 is controlled to be turned on / off by the control unit 30.

スイッチ７は、押下式であり、押下操作毎に操作信号を制御部３０に出力する。   The switch 7 is a push type, and outputs an operation signal to the control unit 30 for each push operation.

蓋体５の開閉状態は、蓋体位置検出手段６によって検出される。   The open / closed state of the lid 5 is detected by the lid position detecting means 6.

制御部３０には、蓋体位置検出手段６の開閉信号、スイッチ７の操作信号、イグニッションキーのオン・オフ信号、充電開始信号、充電状態出力信号が入力される。制御部３０は、図４に示すように、これら入力情報に基づいて照明部４のＬＥＤ２０の点灯・消灯等を制御する。この制御内容については、下記に説明する。   The controller 30 receives an open / close signal for the lid position detection means 6, an operation signal for the switch 7, an ignition key on / off signal, a charge start signal, and a charge state output signal. As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 30 controls turning on / off of the LEDs 20 of the illumination unit 4 based on the input information. This control content will be described below.

次に、照明部４の点灯・消灯等の動作を図４のフローに基づき説明する。イグニッションキー信号がオンの場合には、作業者が充電作業を行うべく蓋体５が開けても、照明部４は点灯しない（ステップＳ１）。イグニッションキー信号がオフの場合に、作業者が充電作業を行うべく蓋体５が開けると（ステップＳ１，Ｓ２）、照明部４が白色で点灯する（ステップＳ３）。これにより充電ソケット部３が照らされる。   Next, operations such as turning on / off the illumination unit 4 will be described based on the flow of FIG. When the ignition key signal is on, the illumination unit 4 is not turned on even if the operator opens the lid 5 to perform the charging operation (step S1). When the ignition key signal is off and the operator opens the lid 5 to perform the charging operation (steps S1 and S2), the illumination unit 4 is lit in white (step S3). Thereby, the charging socket part 3 is illuminated.

照明部４が白色で点灯されると、スイッチ７の操作等がなければ（ステップＳ４，Ｓ５，ステップＳ８〜Ｓ１０）、点灯開始時点から規定時間（例えば９０秒）経過後に照明部４が消灯する（ステップＳ６）。照明部４が白色で点灯中に、スイッチ７が押下されれば（ステップＳ４，Ｓ５）、規定時間（例えば９０秒）を待つことなく直ちに照明部４が消灯する（ステップＳ６）。消灯時に、スイッチ７が押下されれば（ステップＳ７）、照明部４が再び白色で点灯する（ステップＳ３）。   When the illumination unit 4 is turned on in white, if there is no operation of the switch 7 (steps S4, S5, steps S8 to S10), the illumination unit 4 is turned off after a specified time (for example, 90 seconds) has elapsed since the start of lighting. (Step S6). If the switch 7 is pressed while the illumination unit 4 is lit white (steps S4 and S5), the illumination unit 4 is immediately turned off without waiting for a specified time (for example, 90 seconds) (step S6). If the switch 7 is pressed when the light is turned off (step S7), the illumination unit 4 is turned on again in white (step S3).

また、照明部４が白色で点灯中に、充電開始信号を検出すると（ステップＳ８）、充電状態出力信号に基づいてＬＥＤ２０の点灯色が変化する（ステップＳ１１）。具体的には、充電状態が１０％以下では赤色、充電状態が１１〜５０％ではオレンジ色、充電状態が５１〜８０％では黄色、８１〜９９％では緑色、１００％では青色に変化する。そして、点灯開始時点から規定時間（例えば９０秒）経過すれば（ステップＳ１２）、照明部４が消灯する（ステップＳ１３）。消灯後にスイッチ７が押下されると、再び白色で点灯する（ステップＳ８）。   Further, when a charging start signal is detected while the illumination unit 4 is lit white (step S8), the lighting color of the LED 20 changes based on the charging state output signal (step S11). Specifically, it changes to red when the charging state is 10% or less, orange when the charging state is 11 to 50%, yellow when the charging state is 51 to 80%, green when 81 to 99%, and blue when 100%. Then, when a specified time (for example, 90 seconds) elapses from the lighting start time (step S12), the illumination unit 4 is turned off (step S13). When the switch 7 is pressed after the light is turned off, the light turns on again in white (step S8).

照明部４が白色や着色で点灯中に、イグニッションキー信号がオフからオンに切り替わると（ステップＳ９、Ｓ１６）、直ちに照明部４が消灯する（ステップＳ１８）。イグニッションキー信号がオン状態では、スイッチ７が押下されても照明部４は点灯しない。   If the ignition key signal is switched from OFF to ON while the illumination unit 4 is lit white or colored (steps S9 and S16), the illumination unit 4 is immediately turned off (step S18). When the ignition key signal is on, the illumination unit 4 is not lit even when the switch 7 is pressed.

照明部４が白色や着色で点灯中に、蓋体５が閉じられたことを検出すると（ステップＳ１０、Ｓ１７）、直ちに照明部４が消灯する（ステップＳ１８）。   When it is detected that the lid 5 is closed while the illumination unit 4 is lit white or colored (steps S10 and S17), the illumination unit 4 is immediately turned off (step S18).

以上説明したように、電気自動車の充電ポート１は、充電設備側のプラグ（図示せず）が装着される充電ソケット部３と、充電ソケット部３を照明する照明部４とを備えている。従って、照明部４の点灯によって充電ソケット部３を明るく照らすことができるため、夜間等の視界不良時においても充電作業を容易に行うことができる。特に、充電設備側のプラグ（図示せず）は、充電ソケット部３の位置決め溝１２に位置合わせしなければ装着できないため、夜間等の視界不良時における装着作業性が格段に向上する。   As described above, the charging port 1 of the electric vehicle includes the charging socket part 3 to which a plug (not shown) on the charging facility side is attached and the illumination part 4 that illuminates the charging socket part 3. Therefore, since the charging socket part 3 can be brightly illuminated by lighting of the illumination part 4, a charging operation can be easily performed even when visibility is poor at night or the like. In particular, since the plug (not shown) on the charging facility side cannot be mounted unless it is aligned with the positioning groove 12 of the charging socket portion 3, the mounting workability at the time of poor visibility such as at night is remarkably improved.

ユーザが操作可能で、且つ、照明部４をオン・オフさせるスイッチ７を備えている。従って、ユーザの必要に応じて照明部４を点灯させたり、消灯させたりできる。充電作業が不慣れなユーザ等にあっても確実に充電作業を行うことができ、使い勝手が良い。   A switch 7 that can be operated by the user and that turns on and off the illumination unit 4 is provided. Therefore, the illumination unit 4 can be turned on or off as required by the user. Even if the user is unfamiliar with the charging work, the charging work can be surely performed, which is convenient.

充電ソケット部３が収容された収容部２を開閉する蓋体５と、蓋体５の開閉状態を検出する蓋体位置検出手段６とを備え、蓋体５が閉位置から開位置に変移したことを蓋体位置検出手段６が検出すると、照明部４を点灯状態とし、蓋体５が開位置から閉位置に変移したことを蓋体位置検出手段６が検出すると、照明部を消灯状態とする。従って、蓋体５が閉じている場合には、照明部４が消灯しているため、無駄な電力消費を回避できる。   A lid body 5 for opening and closing the housing portion 2 in which the charging socket section 3 is housed, and lid body position detecting means 6 for detecting the open / closed state of the lid body 5 are provided, and the lid body 5 is changed from the closed position to the open position. When the lid body position detection means 6 detects this, the illumination section 4 is turned on. When the lid body position detection means 6 detects that the lid body 5 has changed from the open position to the closed position, the illumination section is turned off. To do. Therefore, when the lid 5 is closed, the illumination unit 4 is turned off, so that useless power consumption can be avoided.

イグニッションキーのオン時には、照明部４は消灯状態とされる。具体的には、イグニッションキーがオン時に蓋体５が開けられても照明部４は点灯しない。照明部４が点灯時に、イグニッションキーがオフからオンに切り替わると、照明部４が消灯される。照明部４の消灯時には、スイッチ７が押下されても照明部４は点灯しない。従って、照明部４を点灯させた状態での車両走行を確実に防止できる。   When the ignition key is on, the illumination unit 4 is turned off. Specifically, even if the lid 5 is opened when the ignition key is on, the illumination unit 4 is not turned on. If the ignition key is switched from OFF to ON while the illumination unit 4 is lit, the illumination unit 4 is turned off. When the illumination unit 4 is turned off, the illumination unit 4 is not turned on even if the switch 7 is pressed. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably prevent the vehicle from traveling with the illumination unit 4 turned on.

蓋体位置検出手段６が蓋体５の閉位置から開位置への変移を検出して照明部４を点灯すると、点灯開始時から規定時間経過後に照明部４が消灯する。従って、プラグ（図示せず）を充電ソケット部３に装着する作業時に照明を確保しつつ、装着完了後に照明部４が点灯したままの状態で充電が行われるのを防止し、無駄な電力消費を回避できる。   When the lid body position detection means 6 detects the transition of the lid body 5 from the closed position to the open position and turns on the illumination unit 4, the illumination unit 4 is turned off after a specified time has elapsed since the start of lighting. Therefore, while securing the illumination during the work of attaching the plug (not shown) to the charging socket unit 3, it is possible to prevent charging while the illumination unit 4 remains lit after the installation is completed, and wasteful power consumption Can be avoided.

照明部４は、点灯時には充電状態によって発光色が可変する。従って、現在の充電状態を車外から視認できる。   When the lighting unit 4 is lit, the emission color varies depending on the state of charge. Therefore, the current state of charge can be viewed from outside the vehicle.

照明部４は、下方から充電ソケット部３を照明する。従って、照明部４の照射光をプラグ等で遮って充電ソケット部３が影で見え難くなるという事態を防止できる。   The illumination unit 4 illuminates the charging socket unit 3 from below. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the illumination socket 4 is blocked by the plug or the like and the charging socket portion 3 is difficult to see in the shadow.

この実施形態では、充電用接続部は充電ソケット部３であるが、これに限定されるものではなく、充電設備側の接続機器が装着されるものであれば良い。例えばパドル挿入口であっても良い。   In this embodiment, although the connection part for charge is the charge socket part 3, it is not limited to this, What is necessary is just to attach the connection apparatus by the side of charging equipment. For example, a paddle insertion opening may be used.

この実施形態では、スイッチ７は、押下式で、押下操作毎に操作信号を出力するものにて構成されているが、これに限定されるものではなく、例えばタクト式であっても良い。   In this embodiment, the switch 7 is configured to be a pressing type and outputs an operation signal for each pressing operation, but is not limited thereto, and may be a tact type, for example.

この実施形態では、照明部４は光源としてＬＥＤを有するが、エレクトロルミネセンス（ＥＬ）、ランプ等であっても良い。   In this embodiment, the illumination unit 4 includes an LED as a light source, but may be an electroluminescence (EL), a lamp, or the like.
