FIG. 2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the electric vehicle power line storage device showing the storage state of the electric vehicle power line. FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the electric vehicle power line storage device showing the procedure for storing the electric vehicle power line.

  The electric vehicle power line 20 (hereinafter abbreviated as a power line) to be wound and stored in the electric vehicle power line storage tool 1 (hereinafter abbreviated as a storage tool) is stored in a battery (secondary battery). It is a power supply line used for the charge to the electric vehicle which used the power source. Note that electric vehicles include plug-in hybrid vehicles.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the power line 20 has a charging plug 22 at one end of a cable 24, a power plug 21 at the other end, and a circuit box 23 in the middle. Yes.

  The circuit box 23 is configured to include at least a protection circuit having a leakage interrupting function inside, and has a rectangular parallelepiped box shape larger than the charging plug 22 and the power plug 21 as illustrated.

  When charging, the power line 20 is used by inserting a power plug 21 into an outlet of a commercial power source such as a home and connecting the other charging plug 22 to a battery of an electric vehicle. Therefore, for easy handling, the circuit box 23 is connected not to the side of the charging plug 22 to be moved to the automobile but to a portion closer to the power plug 21.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the storage device 1 that winds and stores the power line 20 includes a winding body 10 that has a bobbin shape by providing flanges 10b at both ends of a cylindrical drum body 10a. Yes. The drum body 10a may be a square cylinder. Further, grips 10c and 10c are attached at the same positions on the periphery of both flange pieces 10b when they are held by hand as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. ing.

  The peripheral surface portion of the drum body 10a constitutes a winding surface 11 for winding the cable 24 portion of the power line 20. The winding surface 11 has two openings 12 leading to the inner space of the drum body 10a. , 12 have been established. In the example of FIG. 1, openings 12 and 12 are provided at two locations on the winding surface where the central angle is approximately 180 degrees.

  This inner space constitutes a circuit box 23 of the power line 20, a cable 24 to the power plug 21, and a housing portion 13 for housing the power plug 21, and these are provided in any one of the openings 12. Further, it can be stored in the storage unit 13.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, it is easy to store the circuit box 23 of the power line 20 from the left or right opening 12 with the handle 10c on top and the storage tool 1 placed on the ground or the like. Storage work can be performed.

  Thus, since the opening 12 is provided in the left-right position of the wound body 10, the storing operation from the side is easy, and it is only necessary to pull it out from the side when taking it out, which is very convenient. In addition, since there are two openings 12 on the left and right sides, it is possible to carry out the loading / unloading operation in either case. The opening 12 is preferably provided at a position other than the bottom, but the cable 24 is wound around the winding surface 11 so as to close the opening 12, so that even if it is provided at the bottom, it is stored in the storage unit 13 when carried. There is no possibility that a part of the power line 20 jumps out of the opening 12.

  After the storage portion of the power supply line 20 such as the circuit box 23 is stored in the storage portion 13, the other portions may be wound around the winding surface 11 (see FIG. 2). When the total length of the power supply line 20 is short, the entire power supply line 20 may be stored in the storage unit 13.

  As shown in the example of FIG. 3, if the openings 12, 12 are provided at positions that face the side (left-right direction) when the container 1 is placed with the handle 10 c at the top, Although it is desirable for the work to be taken in and out, the opening may be provided at another position.

  FIG. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view of another storage device in which the position of the opening is different from the example of FIG. This example also shows the procedure for storing the power line. 4, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  In the storage device 1, one opening 12 is provided in the vicinity (upper part) of the handle 10 c, and the other opening 12 is provided at a position where the central angle is approximately 90 degrees from the one opening 12, that is, a position facing the side. It has been. Since the openings 12 and 12 are provided at such positions, it is easy to use when the handle 10c is taken in and out from above with the handle 10c facing sideways.

  Further, in the above two examples, since there are two openings 12, it is possible to easily find the storage port without rotating the wound body 10. Three or more openings may be provided, and of course, one opening may be provided.

  According to the storage device 1 described above, the bulky circuit box 23 among the parts constituting the power supply line 20 can be stored in the storage unit 13 located in the inner space of the wound body 10. In addition, space efficiency is high, and the size of the storage device 1 itself can be avoided. Moreover, since the circuit box 23 is accommodated in the accommodating part 13, the cable 24 can be wound around the wound body 10 without the circuit box 23 getting in the way.

  In addition, when the power line 20 is used for charging, it can be easily taken out from the storage tool 1 and the charging operation can be performed quickly.

  Further, since the circuit box 23 is not configured to be fixed to the storage tool 1, if the entire power line 20 is taken out from the storage tool 1, the power line 20 can be handled independently thereafter, and the burden on the user can be reduced. .

  Furthermore, since the storage device 1 can be configured compactly according to the above configuration, the storage device 1 is convenient to carry, and does not require a large storage space for storage of the storage device 1 itself. Can be stored in place. For example, it can be housed in one part of the functional portal as shown below.
