Description

本発明は、自動車や各種電子機器に対する充電を行うための充電装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a charging device for charging automobiles and various electronic devices.

車両用の充電装置として、充電設備と、この充電設備から引き出された充電ケーブルと、この充電ケーブルの先端側に設けた充電コネクタと、前記充電ケーブルに介在させた過負荷分離機構とを備えた構成が開示されている(例えば、下記特許文献1)。   As a charging device for a vehicle, a charging facility, a charging cable drawn out from the charging facility, a charging connector provided on the leading end side of the charging cable, and an overload separation mechanism interposed in the charging cable are provided. A configuration is disclosed (for example, Patent Document 1 below).

特表2013−530493号公報Special table 2013-530493 gazette

上記従来例においては、例えば、充電ケーブルに足を掛けてしまった場合のように、この充電ケーブルに負荷がかかると、充電ケーブルに介在させた過負荷分離機構によって、充電ケーブルを、充電設備側と、充電ケーブル側に引き離して分離するようにしている。   In the above conventional example, for example, when a load is applied to the charging cable as in the case where the charging cable is stepped on, the charging cable is connected to the charging facility side by an overload separation mechanism interposed in the charging cable. Then, they are separated by separating them toward the charging cable side.

しかしながら、負荷の大きさは、その状況によって様々で、時には、この過負荷分離機構部分で充電ケーブルが完全には分離されず、その結果として、充電ケーブルが、その部分で電気的な接触不良状態となり、発熱を伴う状況になる虞もある。   However, the magnitude of the load varies depending on the situation, and sometimes the charging cable is not completely separated by this overload separation mechanism part, and as a result, the charging cable is in a state of poor electrical contact at that part. Therefore, there is a possibility that the situation may be accompanied by heat generation.

そして、このような発熱状態は、安全性を損ねる結果ともなる。   Such a heat generation state also results in a loss of safety.

そこで、本発明は、安全性を高めることを目的とするものである。   Therefore, the present invention aims to improve safety.

そして、この目的を達成するために本発明は、充電設備と、この充電設備から引き出された充電ケーブルと、この充電ケーブルの先端側に設けた充電コネクタと、前記充電ケーブルに介在させた過負荷分離機構とを備え、前記過負荷分離機構は、その前記充電設備側に設けた第1の接続部と、前記充電コネクタ側に設けた第2の接続部と、これら第1、第2の接続部を機械的に当接させた状態で、これらの第1、第2の接続部の機械的当接状態を保持する固定保持手段と、この固定保持手段によって第1、第2の接続部が機械的に当接保持された状態で、前記充電設備から充電コネクタを介しての充電が開始されると、これらの第1、第2の接続部の機械的当接状態を磁力よって保持する電磁石と、この電磁石に接続された制御部と、この制御部に接続されるとともに、前記充電ケーブルに対する加速度を検出する加速度センサとを有し、前記制御部は、前記電磁石への通電が開始された後に、前記固定保持手段による第1、第2の接続部の機械的保持状態を解除するとともに、前記加速度センサにより、所定値以上の負荷が検出されると、前記電磁石による第1、第2の接続部の機械的保持状態を解除する構成とし、これにより所期の目的を達成するものである。   In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a charging facility, a charging cable drawn from the charging facility, a charging connector provided on the leading end side of the charging cable, and an overload interposed in the charging cable. A separation mechanism, wherein the overload separation mechanism includes a first connection portion provided on the charging facility side, a second connection portion provided on the charge connector side, and the first and second connections. In a state in which the first and second connecting portions are in mechanical contact with each other, the fixing and holding means that holds the mechanical contact state of the first and second connecting portions, and the first and second connecting portions are connected by the fixing and holding means. An electromagnet that retains the mechanical contact state of the first and second connection portions by magnetic force when charging through the charging connector is started from the charging facility in a state of mechanical contact and holding. And a control unit connected to the electromagnet and the control And an acceleration sensor that detects an acceleration with respect to the charging cable, and the controller is connected to the first and second connections by the fixing and holding means after energization to the electromagnet is started. The mechanical holding state of the part is released, and when the acceleration sensor detects a load greater than a predetermined value, the mechanical holding state of the first and second connection parts by the electromagnet is released. To achieve the intended purpose.

以上のように本発明の過負荷分離機構は、その前記充電設備側に設けた第1の接続部と、前記充電コネクタ側に設けた第2の接続部と、これら第1、第2の接続部を機械的に当接させた状態で、これらの第1、第2の接続部の機械的当接状態を保持する固定保持手段
と、この固定保持手段によって第1、第2の接続部が機械的に当接保持された状態で、前記充電設備から充電コネクタを介しての充電が開始されると、これらの第1、第2の接続部の機械的当接状態を磁力よって保持する電磁石と、この電磁石に接続された制御部と、この制御部に接続されるとともに、前記充電ケーブルに対する加速度を検出する加速度センサとを有し、前記制御部は、前記電磁石への通電が開始された後に、前記固定保持手段による第1、第2の接続部の機械的保持状態を解除するとともに、前記加速度センサにより、所定値以上の負荷が検出されると、前記電磁石による第1、第2の接続部の機械的保持状態を解除する構成としたので、安全性の高いものとなる。
As described above, the overload separation mechanism of the present invention includes the first connecting portion provided on the charging facility side, the second connecting portion provided on the charging connector side, and the first and second connections. In a state in which the first and second connecting portions are in mechanical contact with each other, the fixing and holding means that holds the mechanical contact state of the first and second connecting portions, and the first and second connecting portions are connected by the fixing and holding means. An electromagnet that retains the mechanical contact state of the first and second connection portions by magnetic force when charging through the charging connector is started from the charging facility in a state of mechanical contact and holding. And a control unit connected to the electromagnet, and an acceleration sensor connected to the control unit and detecting an acceleration with respect to the charging cable, and the control unit starts energization of the electromagnet Later, the function of the first and second connecting portions by the fixed holding means The configuration is such that the mechanical holding state of the first and second connecting portions by the electromagnet is released when the acceleration sensor detects a load greater than or equal to a predetermined value by the acceleration sensor. Will be expensive.

即ち、本発明では、充電ケーブルへの通電を行う前の状態では、固定保持手段によって、第1、第2の接続部を機械的に当接させた状態で、これらの第1、第2の接続部の機械的当接状態が保持されているので、充電コネクタを各種機器の充電口に容易に装着することができる。   That is, in the present invention, in a state before energizing the charging cable, the first and second connection portions are mechanically brought into contact with each other by the fixing and holding means. Since the mechanical contact state of the connecting portion is maintained, the charging connector can be easily attached to the charging port of various devices.

また、その状態で充電ケーブルを介しての充電が開始されると、これらの第1、第2の接続部の機械的当接状態を電磁石の磁力よって保持し、逆に、前記電磁石への通電が開始された後は、前記固定保持手段による第1、第2の接続部の機械的保持状態を解除するようにしている。   When charging via the charging cable is started in this state, the mechanical contact state of these first and second connecting portions is maintained by the magnetic force of the electromagnet, and conversely, the electromagnet is energized. After starting, the mechanical holding state of the first and second connecting portions by the fixed holding means is released.

このため、加速度センサにより、所定値以上の負荷が検出されると、つまり充電ケーブルに足を掛けるなどの大きな負荷が加わると、前記電磁石による第1、第2の接続部の機械的保持状態を解除し、この結果として、充電ケーブルを過負荷分離機構部分で確実に分離することができ、それにより、安全性の高いものとなる。   For this reason, when a load of a predetermined value or more is detected by the acceleration sensor, that is, when a large load such as a step on the charging cable is applied, the mechanical holding state of the first and second connecting portions by the electromagnet is changed. As a result, the charging cable can be reliably separated by the overload separation mechanism portion, and thus the safety is high.

(実施の形態1)
図1において、充電設備1は、家屋2の屋外に設置され、家屋2屋外に設置された電源(図2の電源1A)から給電を受けるようになっている。

In FIG. 1, the charging facility 1 is installed outside the house 2 and is supplied with power from a power source (power source 1 </ b> A in FIG. 2) installed outside the house 2.

また、この充電設備1からは充電ケーブル3が引き出され、この充電ケーブル3の先端側には充電コネクタ4が設けられている。   A charging cable 3 is pulled out from the charging facility 1, and a charging connector 4 is provided on the leading end side of the charging cable 3.

この充電コネクタ4は、自動車5の充電口6に装着され、これにより自動車5への充電が行われるようになっている。   The charging connector 4 is attached to the charging port 6 of the automobile 5 so that the automobile 5 is charged.

また、前記充電ケーブル3には過負荷分離機構7が介在されている。   An overload separation mechanism 7 is interposed in the charging cable 3.

図2は電気的ブロックを示しており、充電設備1から充電ケーブル3への送電は、送電制御部8を介して行われるようになっている。   FIG. 2 shows an electrical block, and power transmission from the charging facility 1 to the charging cable 3 is performed via the power transmission control unit 8.

また、この送電制御部8には、自動車5との充電状態を確認するための通信制御部9、

A notification control unit 10 that notifies the state of charge is connected.

さらに、報知制御部10には、報知機としてスピーカ11が接続され、よく知られているように、このスピーカ11を鳴らしたり、携帯電話12にメールを送信したりして、充電状態を知らしめるようにしている。   Further, a speaker 11 is connected to the notification control unit 10 as a notification device, and as is well known, the speaker 11 is sounded or an e-mail is transmitted to the mobile phone 12 to notify the charging state. I am doing so.

一方、自動車5側にも、よく知られているように、充電制御部13が設けられ、この充電制御部13を介してバッテリー14への充電が行われるようになっている。   On the other hand, as is well known, the vehicle 5 side is also provided with a charge control unit 13, and the battery 14 is charged via the charge control unit 13.

また、充電制御部13には通信制御部15が接続され、充電状態を充電設備1側に伝達するような構成となっている。   Moreover, the communication control part 15 is connected to the charge control part 13, and it has the structure which transmits a charge condition to the charging equipment 1 side.

図3は本実施形態の特徴点の一つである過負荷分離機構7を示している。   FIG. 3 shows an overload separation mechanism 7 which is one of the characteristic points of this embodiment.

この過負荷分離機構7は、その前記充電設備1側に設けた送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17と、前記充電コネクタ4側に設けた充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19を備えている。   The overload separation mechanism 7 includes a power transmission connecting portion 16 and a communication connecting portion 17 provided on the charging facility 1 side, a charging connecting portion 18 and a communication connecting portion 19 provided on the charging connector 4 side. I have.

なお、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19は、送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17側に向けて突出した形状としており、また送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17は、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19の先端が突入されるように凹部を有する形状となっている。   In addition, the connection part 18 for charge and the connection part 19 for communication are made into the shape protruded toward the connection part 16 for power transmission, and the connection part 17 for communication, and the connection part 16 for power transmission and the connection part 17 for communication are The charging connection portion 18 and the communication connection portion 19 have a concave portion so that the tips of the connection portion 18 and the communication connection portion 19 are inserted.

さらに、図3、図4から理解されるように、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19は、送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17側に向け、付勢体20によって付勢されるようになっている。   Further, as can be understood from FIGS. 3 and 4, the charging connection portion 18 and the communication connection portion 19 are urged by the urging body 20 toward the power transmission connection portion 16 and the communication connection portion 17. It has become so.

また、これら送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19を、図4のごとく機械的に当接させた状態で、これらの送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19の機械的当接状態を保持する固定保持手段21も設けられている。   Further, in the state where these power transmission connection portion 16, communication connection portion 17, charging connection portion 18 and communication connection portion 19 are mechanically contacted as shown in FIG. 4, these power transmission connection portions 16, A fixed holding means 21 for holding the mechanical contact state of the communication connection portion 17, the charging connection portion 18 and the communication connection portion 19 is also provided.

この固定保持手段21は、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19側において、軸22を中心に回動するフック23と、送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17側において前記フック23の係合部24と、前記フック23を係合部24から外す解除手段25により構成されている。   The fixing and holding means 21 includes a hook 23 that rotates about the shaft 22 on the charging connection portion 18 and the communication connection portion 19 side, and a hook 23 that rotates on the power transmission connection portion 16 and the communication connection portion 17 side. The engaging portion 24 and release means 25 for removing the hook 23 from the engaging portion 24 are configured.

解除手段25について、さらに詳細に説明すると、固定保持手段21のフック23とは反対側には、付勢体26が設けられ、これによりフック23は図4のごとく、係合部24側へと付勢されている。   The releasing means 25 will be described in more detail. An urging body 26 is provided on the opposite side of the fixed holding means 21 from the hook 23, whereby the hook 23 is moved toward the engaging portion 24 as shown in FIG. It is energized.

また、図4の状態で、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19側に設けた電磁石27に通電すると、固定保持手段21のフック23とは反対側に設けた永久磁石28との間の磁力で、固定保持手段21のフック23は図3のように係合部24との係合から解除される。   In addition, when the electromagnet 27 provided on the charging connection portion 18 and the communication connection portion 19 side is energized in the state of FIG. 4, it is between the permanent magnet 28 provided on the side opposite to the hook 23 of the fixed holding means 21. The hook 23 of the fixed holding means 21 is released from the engagement with the engagement portion 24 as shown in FIG.

同様に、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19側には電磁石29が設けられ、反対に送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17側には、永久磁石30が配置されている。   Similarly, an electromagnet 29 is provided on the charging connection portion 18 and the communication connection portion 19 side, and on the contrary, a permanent magnet 30 is disposed on the power transmission connection portion 16 and the communication connection portion 17 side.

つまり、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19側の電磁石29に通電された状態では、送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17側の永久磁石30との間の磁力で、これらの充電用
接続部18、通信用接続部19、送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17の機械的保持状態が保持される構成となっているのである。
That is, in a state where the electromagnet 29 on the charging connection portion 18 and the communication connection portion 19 side is energized, the charging is performed by the magnetic force between the power transmission connection portion 16 and the permanent magnet 30 on the communication connection portion 17 side. In other words, the mechanical holding state of the connection part 18 for communication, the connection part 19 for communication, the connection part 16 for power transmission, and the connection part 17 for communication is held.

また、このような構成となった充電ケーブル3には、加速度センサ31が配置され、この充電ケーブル3に所定値以上の負荷が加わると、それを送電制御部8に伝達するようになっている。   The charging cable 3 having such a configuration is provided with an acceleration sensor 31, and when a load of a predetermined value or more is applied to the charging cable 3, it is transmitted to the power transmission control unit 8. .

以上の構成において、充電前の状態では、送電制御部8から電磁石27、29への通電が行われていないので、フック23は図4のごとく係合部24に係合した状態となっており、その結果として充電ケーブル3の送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19は、図4のごとく機械的に当接した状態で、これらの送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19の機械的当接状態が固定保持手段21によって保持されている。   In the above configuration, in the state before charging, since the power transmission control unit 8 is not energized to the electromagnets 27 and 29, the hook 23 is engaged with the engagement unit 24 as shown in FIG. As a result, the power transmission connecting portion 16, the communication connecting portion 17, the charging connecting portion 18, and the communication connecting portion 19 of the charging cable 3 are in mechanical contact with each other as shown in FIG. The mechanical contact state of the connection portion 16, the communication connection portion 17, the charging connection portion 18, and the communication connection portion 19 is held by the fixed holding means 21.

このため、充電ケーブル3は一本のものとして図1のごとく、その先端側の充電コネクタ4を、自動車5の充電口6に容易に装着することができる。   Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the charging cable 3 can be easily attached to the charging port 6 of the automobile 5 as a single charging cable 3 as shown in FIG. 1.

そして、充電設備1の充電スイッチ(図示せず)を操作すると(図5のS1)、充電ケーブル3を介してのバッテリー14への充電が行われる(図5のS2)。   When a charging switch (not shown) of the charging facility 1 is operated (S1 in FIG. 5), the battery 14 is charged through the charging cable 3 (S2 in FIG. 5).

すると、送電制御部8から、先ずは、電磁石29への通電が行われ、その結果として、充電ケーブル3の送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19は、図4のごとく機械的に当接した状態で、これらの送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19の機械的当接状態が電磁石29と、永久磁石30との磁力により保持される。   Then, first, the electromagnet 29 is energized from the power transmission control unit 8, and as a result, the power transmission connection unit 16, the communication connection unit 17, the charging connection unit 18, and the communication connection unit of the charging cable 3. 19 is in a mechanical contact state as shown in FIG. 4, and the mechanical contact state of the power transmission connection portion 16, the communication connection portion 17, the charging connection portion 18, and the communication connection portion 19 is the electromagnet 29. And the magnetic force with the permanent magnet 30.

その後、わずかな時間をおいて、電磁石27への通電が行われ、その結果として、フック23は図3のごとく係合部24との係合が解除された状態となるが、この時には、上述のごとく、電磁石29と、永久磁石30との磁力により、充電ケーブル3の送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19は、図4のごとく機械的に当接した状態で、これらの送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19の機械的当接状態が保持された状態となる(図5のS3)。   Thereafter, the electromagnet 27 is energized after a short time, and as a result, the hook 23 is disengaged from the engaging portion 24 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the power transmission connection portion 16, the communication connection portion 17, the charging connection portion 18, and the communication connection portion 19 of the charging cable 3 are mechanically mechanical as shown in FIG. 4 due to the magnetic force between the electromagnet 29 and the permanent magnet 30. In this state, the mechanical contact state of the power transmission connecting portion 16, the communication connecting portion 17, the charging connecting portion 18, and the communication connecting portion 19 is maintained (S3 in FIG. 5). ).

そして、このような状態で充電が行われるが、この充電中に加速度センサ31によって充電ケーブル3に加わる負荷が所定値以上になったことが検出されると(図5のS4)、送電制御部8は、充電を中断するとともに、この充電中断を、通信用接続部17、19を介して自動車5の充電制御部13に伝達する(図5のS5)。   Then, charging is performed in such a state. When it is detected by the acceleration sensor 31 that the load applied to the charging cable 3 has become a predetermined value or more during this charging (S4 in FIG. 5), the power transmission control unit 8 interrupts the charging and transmits the charging interruption to the charging control unit 13 of the automobile 5 through the communication connection units 17 and 19 (S5 in FIG. 5).

また、送電制御部8は、その後、スピーカ11鳴らしたり、携帯電話12にメールを送信したりして、充電状態を知らしめる(図5のS6)。   In addition, the power transmission control unit 8 thereafter notifies the charging state by ringing the speaker 11 or transmitting a mail to the mobile phone 12 (S6 in FIG. 5).

さらに、送電制御部8は、その後、電磁石29への通電を遮断すると、電磁石29と永久磁石30との磁力が途絶え、また充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19が、付勢体20によって、図3のごとく送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17側に向け付勢される。   Further, when the power transmission control unit 8 subsequently cuts off the energization to the electromagnet 29, the magnetic force between the electromagnet 29 and the permanent magnet 30 is interrupted, and the charging connection unit 18 and the communication connection unit 19 are As shown in FIG. 3, it is biased toward the power transmission connecting portion 16 and the communication connecting portion 17 side.

その結果、充電ケーブル3は、図3のごとく、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19側と、送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17側が確実に分離されることになる(図5のS7)。   As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, in the charging cable 3, the charging connection portion 18 and the communication connection portion 19 side are reliably separated from the power transmission connection portion 16 and the communication connection portion 17 side (FIG. 5). S7).

したがって、例えば、充電ケーブル3に足を掛けてしまった場合でも、この充電ケーブ
ル3が分離されるので、身体に過負荷がかかりにくくなる。
Therefore, for example, even when the charging cable 3 is put on the foot, the charging cable 3 is separated, so that it is difficult for the body to be overloaded.

また、図3のごとく、充電ケーブル3は、図3のごとく、充電用接続部18、通信用接続部19側と、送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17側が確実に分離されるので、両者間の間で接触不良による発熱もおきにくくなる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the charging cable 3 is reliably separated from the charging connection portion 18, the communication connection portion 19 side, the power transmission connection portion 16, and the communication connection portion 17 side as shown in FIG. 3. Heat generation due to poor contact is less likely to occur between the two.

もっとも、本実施形態では、その前に通電を遮断しているので、その点からも接触不良による発熱などは起きないのであるが、このような通電遮断が故障しても、接触不良による発熱を避けることができるのは有効な対策となる。   However, in this embodiment, since the energization is interrupted before that, no heat is generated due to contact failure from that point. What can be avoided is an effective measure.

また、充電設備1側の送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17は、上述のごとく凹状態となっているので、ここに手が触れるのも抑制できる。   Moreover, since the connection part 16 for power transmission and the connection part 17 for communication on the side of the charging facility 1 are in a concave state as described above, it is possible to prevent the hand from touching here.

なお、図3の状態では、電磁石27への通電も遮断されるが、フック23が図4のように係合部24側に戻るよりも前に、付勢体20で充電設備1側の送電用接続部16、通信用接続部17が押されるので、充電ケーブル3の遮断は確実に行われる。   In the state of FIG. 3, the energization to the electromagnet 27 is also cut off, but before the hook 23 returns to the engagement portion 24 side as shown in FIG. Since the connection part 16 for communication and the connection part 17 for communication are pushed, the interruption | blocking of the charging cable 3 is performed reliably.

また、このような安全動作が終了後には、充電終了処理を行い、充電を終了することになる(図5のS8、S9)。   In addition, after such a safe operation is completed, a charging termination process is performed to terminate the charging (S8 and S9 in FIG. 5).

なお、(図5のS4)において、充電ケーブル3への過負荷がかからなかった場合には、送電制御部8は、充電完了を確認し(図5のS10)、次に、スピーカ11鳴らしたり、携帯電話12にメールを送信したりして、充電完了を知らしめ(図5のS11)、その後、充電終了処理を行い、充電を終了することになる(図5のS8、S9)。   In addition, in (S4 of FIG. 5), when the charging cable 3 is not overloaded, the power transmission control unit 8 confirms the completion of charging (S10 of FIG. 5), and then sounds the speaker 11. Or sending an e-mail to the mobile phone 12 to notify the completion of charging (S11 in FIG. 5), and thereafter, a charging end process is performed to end the charging (S8, S9 in FIG. 5).

以上のごとく本発明では、充電ケーブルへの通電を行う前の状態では、固定保持手段によって、第1、第2の接続部を機械的に当接させた状態で、これらの第1、第2の接続部の機械的当接状態が保持されているので、充電コネクタを各種機器の充電口に容易に装着することができる。   As described above, according to the present invention, in a state before energizing the charging cable, the first and second connection portions are mechanically brought into contact with each other by the fixing and holding means. Since the mechanical contact state of the connecting portion is maintained, the charging connector can be easily attached to the charging port of various devices.

また、その状態で充電ケーブルを介しての充電が開始されると、これらの第1、第2の接続部の機械的当接状態を電磁石の磁力よって保持し、逆に、前記電磁石への通電が開始された後は、前記固定保持手段による第1、第2の接続部の機械的保持状態を解除するようにしている。   When charging via the charging cable is started in this state, the mechanical contact state of these first and second connecting portions is maintained by the magnetic force of the electromagnet, and conversely, the electromagnet is energized. After starting, the mechanical holding state of the first and second connecting portions by the fixed holding means is released.

このため、加速度センサにより、所定値以上の負荷が検出されると、つまり充電ケーブルに足を掛けるなどの大きな負荷が加わると、前記電磁石による第1、第2の接続部の機械的保持状態を解除し、この結果として、充電ケーブルを過負荷分離機構部分で確実に分離することができ、それにより、安全性の高いものとなる。   For this reason, when a load of a predetermined value or more is detected by the acceleration sensor, that is, when a large load such as a step on the charging cable is applied, the mechanical holding state of the first and second connecting portions by the electromagnet is changed. As a result, the charging cable can be reliably separated by the overload separation mechanism portion, and thus the safety is high.

したがって、自動車や各種電子機器への充電装置としての活用が期待される。   Therefore, utilization as a charging device for automobiles and various electronic devices is expected.
