It is arranged as follows.

Attachment / detachment of the charging cable 10 to / from the electric vehicle charging outlet device configured as described above is performed as follows. The electric vehicle charging outlet device is used by being fixed to a wall surface of a house or the like.
First, the drawing amount of the slide part 4a is determined and fixed. The pull-out amount of the slide part 4a is determined according to the form of the charging cable 10 to be used. When the CCID 12 is provided, the slide part 4a is pulled out and fixed according to the size (length) of the CCID 12. Specifically, the sliding amount is determined so that the upper part of the CCID 12 to be held is accommodated in the opening 7 of the cable holding unit 3, and the screw hole 14 closest to the determined position is used to fix the screw. As a result, the lower part of the CCID 12 is held by the CCID placement part 4b, while the upper part is held by the opening 7, and is held in a stable state.

  Note that once the slide portion 4a is pulled out, it does not need to be changed unless the charging cable 10 is changed. Moreover, when using the charging cable 10 without CCID12 itself, it is not necessary to pull out the slide part 4a.

  When the slide portion 4a is fixed, the CCID 12 is held and the charging plug 11 is inserted into the charging outlet 2. The charging plug 11 can be easily held in the opening 7 by being inserted and operated from below the opening 7. At this time, the charging cable 10 extending from the lower part of the CCID 12 enters the notch 16 of the CCID placement part 4b and is drawn downward without stress.

When the charging plug 11 is thus removed, the CCID 12 is removed from the placement portion 4b and the charging cable 10 itself is removed. Thus, removal of the charging cable 10 is completed.

In this manner, the charging plug 11 can be easily unlocked (locked) by a button operation, and the charging plug 11 can be easily removed. Further, since the release button 19 is disposed adjacent to the charging plug 11 inserted into the charging outlet 2, the unlocking operation and the extraction operation of the charging plug 11 can be performed with one hand, and the operation is easy. And since it has the CCID holding | maintenance part 4, it will not be in the state which CCID12 hung at the time of charge, and it can hold | maintain the extra length of a charging cable.
Further, since 80% or more can be stored in the case 1 when not in use, it is not disturbed by storing the CCID holding unit 4 for the charging cable 10 not having the CCID 12. Furthermore, considering the future introduction of electric vehicles, even if only the outlet is installed for the time being, it is compact if the CCID holding part is accommodated, which is also aesthetically pleasing and can prevent children from bumping their heads. .
In addition, since the upper part of the CCID 12 held by the CCID holding unit 4 is held by the cable holding unit 3 and can be held well, the CCID holding unit 4 only needs to hold the lower end of the CCID 12 and can have a simple structure. In addition, the holding operation is easy.
Furthermore, since the CCID holding part 4 can be fixed with a suitable length, even if the length of the CCID 12 differs depending on the type of the charging cable 10 with versatility, the upper part of the CCID 12 is open to the cable holding part 3 according to the length. It can be adjusted so as to be held by the part 7.

FIG. 11 shows another embodiment of the electric vehicle charging outlet device. The structure of the charging cable holding part 3 and the door plate 18b of the outlet cover 5 is different from that of the above embodiment, and different points will be specifically described below.

The rear corner portion 31b of the side plate 31 is formed to have a round shape as shown in FIG. 13, and is formed so as to open smoothly against the urging force in the closing direction after contacting the charging plug 11. Yes.

  The door plate 18b thus opened finally opens to the angle shown in FIG. 12, and the charging cable 10 is introduced into the notch 18a and pulled out from the cable insertion portion 18. Even in this open state, the side plate 31 blocks the side of the door plate 18 b, so that it is difficult for rainwater or the like to enter the interior covered with the outlet cover 5.

Thus, even if the front of the charging plug 11 connected to the charging outlet 2 is covered with the outlet cover 5 and the periphery of the charging outlet 2 is closed, the charging cable 10 can be closed well without being compressed.
Further, since the door plate 18b is opened by contacting the charging plug 11, it does not contact the charging cable 10 at the beginning of the opening operation. Therefore, the charging cable 10 is not damaged by the closing operation with the outlet cover 5. Further, by providing the groove 30, the CCID 12 can be easily placed on the CCID placement portion 4b.

In the above embodiment, 80% or more of the length of the slide portion 4a can be stored in the back of the case 1. However, the storage amount varies depending on the size (height) of the case 1 and is completely stored. Of course, even if the amount of storage is less than 80%, a great effect can be obtained, and if it is configured to store at least about two-thirds, it can be compact when not in use and not easily disturbed.
Moreover, although the charging outlet 2 is assembled | attached to the case 1 facing diagonally downward, you may face directly below and may arrange | position toward the front. When facing forward, the height of the case can be shortened.
Further, the outlet cover 5 is provided with a top surface portion 5a and is formed in a substantially L-shape and is configured to be largely opened. However, the outlet cover 5 may be formed in a plate shape so that only the front surface of the case 1 is closed.
