(Embodiment)
Below, the charging cable holder 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated based on FIGS.

  The charging cable holder 1 is used to hold a charging cable 11 connected to a charging controller 10 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) that controls charging of the rechargeable battery. Here, the charging controller 10 and the charging cable 11 are not components of the charging cable holder 1. The charging cable holder 1 can hold not only the charging cable 11 but also the charging control unit 100 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) including the charging cable 11. However, the charging control unit 100 is not a component of the charging cable holder 1. The rechargeable battery is, for example, a rechargeable battery for an electric vehicle (for example, an electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, etc.). The charging cable holder 1 is a portable charging cable holder and is housed in a dashboard, an under tray box, or the like of an electric vehicle while holding the charging control unit 100 including the charging cable 11, for example.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the charging control unit 100 includes a charging controller 10, a charging cable 11, a charging connector 12 (power feeding plug), a power cable 13, and a power plug 14. The charging controller 10 is interposed between one end of the power cable 13 and one end of the charging cable 11 and controls charging from the external power source (for example, commercial power source) to the electric vehicle. The charging cable 11 is a cable that electrically connects the charging controller 10 and the rechargeable battery of the electric vehicle. The charging connector 12 is provided at the other end of the charging cable 11 and is detachably connected to a charging inlet (charging port) of the electric vehicle. The power cable 13 is a cable that electrically connects the charging controller 10 and an external power source. The power plug 14 is provided at the other end of the power cable 13 and is detachably connected to an outlet. The charging cable 11 and the power cable 13 have flexibility.

  The charging controller 10 includes a long case 101 and a CCID (Charge Circuit Interrupt Device) housed in the case 101. In the charging control unit 100, the power cable 13 extends from one end of the case 101 of the charging controller 10 in the longitudinal direction, and the charging cable 11 extends from the other end. The charging controller 10 detects a connection state of the charging cable 11 to the electric vehicle, a charging state of the rechargeable battery, and the like based on a control pilot signal input via the charging cable 11.

  The user of the charging cable holder 1 can, for example, wind the charging cable 11 around the charging cable holder 1 after removing the charging connector 12 from the charging inlet of the electric vehicle after completion of charging. The color of the charging cable holder 1 is, for example, black. The charging cable holder 1 has electrical insulation. Here, the charging cable holder 1 is a resin molded product. Thereby, the charging cable holder 1 can achieve cost reduction. The material of the charging cable holder 1 is preferably, for example, polypropylene from the viewpoint of improving the impact resistance against the dropping impact of the charging cable holder 1. Here, the molding material of the charging cable holder 1 is preferably weather-resistant polypropylene.

  The charging cable holder 1 includes a long base plate 2 and a pair of side walls 3 rising from both ends in the width direction of the base plate 2 and extending along the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2.

  The pair of side walls 3 protrudes from both ends in the width direction of the base plate 2 along the thickness direction of the base plate 2. Thereby, in the charging cable holder 1, the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 is U-shaped.

  The pair of side walls 3 together with the base plate 2 form a recess 4 that houses the charging controller 10. In short, the charging cable holder 1 is surrounded by the base plate 2 and the pair of side walls 3 and has a recess 4 in which the charging controller 10 can be taken in and out. The recess 4 is preferably formed in a shape along the outer shape of the charging controller 10. More specifically, in the recess 4, the opening width of the recess 4 at each end in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 is narrower than the opening width of the recess 4 at the center in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2. preferable. Thereby, in the charging cable holder 1, it is possible to suppress the movement of the charging controller 10 in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the base plate 2.

  Each side wall 3 of the pair of side walls 3 has an outer peripheral surface 31. An outer peripheral surface 31 of each side wall 3 cooperates to define a winding surface 5 around which the charging cable 11 is wound. The charging cable holder 1 can wind the charging cable 11 along the winding surface 5. Here, the winding surface 5 is defined by the outer peripheral surfaces 31 of the pair of side walls 3. In other words, the winding surface 5 is defined by the two outer peripheral surfaces 31. The charging cable 11 wound around the winding surface 5 by the user may partially be in contact with the winding surface 5, but is not limited thereto, and may not be in contact with the winding surface 5 over the entire length of the charging cable 11. The charging cable 11 is wound spirally, for example.

  In the pair of side walls 3, the distance between the inner peripheral surfaces 32 of the pair of side walls 3 in the vicinity of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 is between the inner peripheral surfaces 32 of the pair of side walls 3 in the vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2. Shorter than the distance. More specifically, the inner peripheral surface 32 of each side wall 3 has a guide surface 321 that guides the charging cable 11 by bending to the outer peripheral surface 31 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2. The guide surface 321 is formed in a convex curved surface shape. Thereby, in the charging cable holder 1, when the charging cable 11 is wound around the winding surface 5, it is possible to suppress an excessive stress from being applied to one end of the charging cable 11 connected to the charging controller 10. . As an example, the radius of curvature of the guide surface 321 is set to 25 mm, but is not limited to this value. In the charging cable holder 1, the bending radius of one end of the charging cable 11 can be made larger than the curvature radius of the guide surface 321.

  The outer peripheral surface 31 of each side wall 3 is curved at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2. In other words, convex curved surfaces 311 are formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the outer peripheral surface 31 of each side wall 3. Thereby, in the charging cable holder 1, when a user winds the charging cable 11 around the winding surface 5, it becomes possible to suppress that an excessive stress is applied to the charging cable 11. The curvature radius of the curved surface 311 is set to 25 mm as an example, but is not limited to this value. In each side wall 3, the curved surface 311 and the guide surface 321 are smoothly continuous at both ends in the longitudinal direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, each side wall 3 is smoothly between the curved surface 311 and the guide surface 321. There may be a continuous flat surface.

  Each side wall 3 is formed with a first flange 6 that protrudes outward in the width direction of the base plate 2 from the tip of each side wall 3 at each end in the longitudinal direction of each side wall 3. The base plate 2 has a second flange 7 that protrudes outward in the width direction in the same plane as the base plate 2 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 and faces the first flange 6. In short, the charging cable holder 1 has four first flanges 6 and four second flanges 7. Therefore, the charging cable holder 1 includes four sets of the first flange 6 and the second flange 7 facing each other. Here, facing each other means facing each other in a direction along the thickness direction of the base plate 2. It is preferable that the outer peripheral edge of the first flange 6 has a smoothly continuous shape. Thereby, in the charging cable holder 1, it is possible to suppress excessive stress from being applied to the charging cable 11 when the charging cable 11 hits the first flange 6. Moreover, it is preferable that the outer periphery of the 2nd flange 7 is a shape which continues smoothly. Thereby, in the charging cable holder 1, it is possible to prevent the charging cable 11 from being excessively stressed when the charging cable 11 hits the second flange 7.

  In the charging cable holder 1, a regulation that regulates the movement of the charging cable 11 wound around the winding surface 5 in the direction along the thickness direction of the base plate 2 between the first flange 6 and the second flange 7 facing each other. Part 67 is configured. Thereby, in the charging cable holder 1, for example, when the user winds the charging cable 11 around the winding surface 5, the charging cable 11 is prevented from being collapsed and falling off after being wound and released from the charging cable 11. It becomes possible. Here, the projecting dimensions of the first flange 6 and the second flange 7 in the width direction of the base plate 2 are such dimensions that the charging cable 11 wound around the winding surface 5 does not get over the first flange 6 and the second flange 7. Preferably it is set. The distance between the first flange 6 and the second flange 7 is preferably set to a dimension that allows the charging cable 11 to pass between the first flange 6 and the second flange 7 a plurality of times.

  Each side wall 3 is preferably formed with a long hole 35 along the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2. The long hole 35 is formed on the side wall 3 on the side close to the base plate 2. More specifically, the long hole 35 is formed across the side wall 3 and the base plate 2.

  The long hole 35 has a wider opening width in the direction along the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 than the opening width in the direction along the thickness direction of the base plate 2. Here, it is preferable that the long hole 35 is formed in a size that allows the four fingers excluding the thumb of one hand of the user of the charging cable holder 1 to be taken in and out. Thereby, the user faces the palm of one hand to the back side of the base plate 2, passes the thumb through one of the two long holes 35, and passes the remaining four fingers through the other long hole 35, It becomes possible to hold | maintain the charging cable holder 1 and the charging controller 10 in the recess 4. FIG. As a result, the user of the charging cable holder 1 can hold the charging cable holder 1 and the charging controller 10 with one hand so that the first flange 6 is on the near side and the second flange 7 is on the far side. It becomes possible to start winding the charging cable 11 around the winding surface 5 toward the front. In other words, when the user performs the operation of winding the charging cable 11 around the winding surface 5, the charging is performed when the charging cable 11 starts to be wound from the side close to the first flange 6 between the first flange 6 and the second flange 7. The cable holder 1 and the charging controller 10 can be easily held. Thereby, in the charging cable holder 1, the user can easily wind the charging cable 11 around the winding surface 5. The charging cable holder 1 can hold the charging cable 11 wound around the winding surface 5.

  In the charging cable holder 1, after bending the charging cable 11 along one guide surface 321 of the four guide surfaces 321, the charging cable 11 is sequentially bent along each of the four curved surfaces 311 on the winding surface 5. Is possible. Thereby, in the charging cable holder 1, when the user winds the charging cable 11 around the winding surface 5, it is possible to suppress excessive stress on the charging cable 11 while reducing the bending radius of the charging cable 11. Become.

  The charging cable holder 1 is formed across the outer peripheral surface 31 of the side wall 3 and the first flange 6 to reinforce the first flange 6, and the outer peripheral surface 31 of the side wall 3 and the second flange 7. It is preferable to integrally include a second rib 37 that is formed to straddle and reinforce the second flange 7. In the charging cable holder 1, three first ribs 36 are formed for each of the four first flanges 6, and three second ribs 37 are formed for each of the four second flanges 7. Yes. The numbers of the first ribs 36 and the second ribs 37 are not particularly limited.

  In addition, the charging cable holder 1 is formed with a protruding piece 33 that protrudes outward in the width direction of the base plate 2 from the tip of the side wall 3 between the two first flanges 6 in each side wall 3. The projecting dimension of the overhanging piece 33 is smaller than the projecting dimension of the first flange 6.

  In the charging cable holder 1, ribs 39 protruding from the surface 331 of the overhanging piece 33 are formed along the periphery of the overhanging piece 33. In the charging cable holder 1, a rib 69 protruding from the surface 61 of the first flange 6 opposite to the second flange 7 side is formed along the periphery of the first flange 6. Further, the charging cable holder 1 is formed with a rib 169 that straddles the surface 61 of the first flange 6 and the front end surface 34 of the side wall 3. The rib 169 has a Y shape when viewed from one direction along the thickness direction of the base plate 2. Since the charging cable holder 1 is formed with the ribs 69 and 169, the mechanical strength can be increased.

  In the base plate 2, projecting pieces 8 projecting outward in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 in the same plane as the base plate 2 are formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2. The shape of the protruding piece 8 is semicircular when viewed from one direction along the thickness direction of the base plate 2. In the charging cable holder 1, if the side where the pair of side walls 3 protrudes in the thickness direction of the base plate 2 is the front side and the side where the side walls 3 do not protrude is the back side, the shape of the protruding piece 8 is the front of the charging cable holder 1. It is semicircular when viewed from the side. The protruding dimension of the protruding piece 8 in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 is larger than the diameter of the charging cable 11. Here, the protruding dimension of the protruding piece 8 is about twice the diameter of the charging cable 11, but is not limited thereto.

  By the way, the charging cable holder 1r of the comparative example which is not provided with the protrusion piece 8 is demonstrated based on FIG. 5A and 5B. In the charging cable holder 1r of the comparative example, the charging cable 11 may be kinked by repeating the work of winding the charging cable 11 around the charging cable holder 1r and the work of unwinding the charging cable 11 from the charging cable holder 1r. FIG. 5A is an explanatory diagram of an example of work when the user winds the charging cable 11 around the charging cable holder 1r of the comparative example. FIG. 5B is an explanatory diagram of an example of work when the user unwinds the charging cable 11 from the charging cable holder 1r of the comparative example. In FIG. 5A, the user holds the charging cable holder 1r and the charging controller 10 with the left hand so that the front of the charging cable holder 1r is on the near side, and holds the charging cable 11 with the right hand. The white arrow in FIG. 5A schematically shows the direction in which the charging cable 11 is moved when the charging cable 11 held by the right hand is wound around the charging cable holder 1r. In FIG. 5B, the user holds the charging cable holder 1r with the left hand and the charging cable 11 with the right hand so that the back surface of the charging cable holder 1r is on the near side. The white arrow in FIG. 5B schematically shows the direction in which the charging cable 11 is moved when the charging cable 11 held by the right hand is unwound from the charging cable holder 1r. When the operation of winding the charging cable 11 from the front side of the charging cable holder 1r as shown in FIG. 5A and the operation of unwinding the charging cable 11 from the back side of the charging cable holder 1r as shown in FIG. The charging cable 11 is twisted due to rotation, and the charging cable 11 is kinked. Here, if the charging cable 11 is forcibly pulled in order to eliminate the kinking of the charging cable 11 that has been kinked, excessive stress is applied to the charging cable 11, and the power supply line, the communication line, etc. in the charging cable 11 are disconnected. There is a possibility.

  On the other hand, since the charging cable holder 1 has the protruding pieces 8 formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 as described above, the charging cable 11 wound around the winding surface 5 is connected to the charging cable holder 1. It becomes possible to make it difficult to unwind from the back side. As a result, in the charging cable holder 1, it is possible to unify both the work of winding the charging cable 11 and the work of unwinding the charging cable 11 by the user from the front side of the charging cable holder 1. Thereby, the charging cable holder 1 can suppress the occurrence of kinking of the charging cable 11.

  The charging cable holder 1 has holes 25 formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2. The opening shape of the hole 25 is, for example, a rectangular shape. The charging cable holder 1 covers a part of the rising hole 25 in the same direction as each side wall 3 from a part of the periphery of the hole 25 (a U-shaped part along three sides of the rectangular hole 25). Is formed. The cover 26 preferably covers most of the holes 25 when viewed from one direction of the thickness direction of the base plate 2. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, the charging cable holder 1 can be hooked on the L-shaped hook 200 by passing the hook 200 fixed to the wall surface 150 or the like through the hole 25.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6B, the charging cable holder 1 can suppress the hook 200 from hitting the charging cable 11 when the charging cable holder 1 is removed from the hook 200, and stress is applied to the charging cable 11. Can be suppressed. The charging cable holder 1 is not limited to the hook 200 but may be hooked on a screw or the like, for example. Further, the shape of the hook 200 is not limited to the L shape, and may be another shape.

  The charging cable holder 1 is vertically symmetrical and bilaterally symmetric when the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 is the vertical direction and the width direction of the base plate 2 is the horizontal direction, as viewed from one direction in the thickness direction of the base plate 2. It is. As a result, the charging cable holder 1 can be improved in usability as compared with the case where the charging cable holder 1 has a vertically asymmetrical shape or the shape of a laterally asymmetrical shape.

  Regarding the charging cable holder 1, a total length L1 (see FIG. 2A) in a direction along the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 is, for example, 390 mm. Moreover, regarding the charging cable holder 1, the total length L2 (see FIG. 2A) in the direction along the width direction of the base plate 2 is, for example, 200 mm. Moreover, regarding the charging cable holder 1, the total length L3 (see FIG. 2C) in the direction along the thickness direction of the base plate 2 is, for example, 64 mm. The length of the charging cable 11 is 6 m, for example. The diameter (outer diameter) of the charging cable 11 is, for example, 11.2 mm.

  As is clear from the above-described embodiment, the charging cable holder 1 according to the first aspect is a charging cable holder that holds a charging cable 11 connected to a charging controller 10 that controls charging of a rechargeable battery of an electric vehicle. 1 and includes a long base plate 2 and a pair of side walls 3 extending from both ends in the width direction of the base plate 2 and extending along the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2. The pair of side walls 3 together with the base plate 2 form a recess 4 that houses the charging controller 10. Each side wall 3 of the pair of side walls 3 has an outer peripheral surface 31. An outer peripheral surface 31 of each side wall 3 cooperates to define a winding surface 5 around which the charging cable 11 is wound. The inner peripheral surface 32 of each side wall 3 has a guide surface 321 that is curved by being connected to the outer peripheral surface 31 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 to guide the charging cable 11. The outer peripheral surface 31 of each side wall 3 is curved at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2. Each side wall 3 is formed with a first flange 6 that protrudes outward in the width direction of the base plate 2 from the tip of each side wall 3 at each end in the longitudinal direction of each side wall 3. The base plate 2 has a second flange 7 that protrudes outward in the width direction in the same plane as the base plate 2 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 and faces the first flange 6. In the base plate 2, projecting pieces 8 projecting outward in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 in the same plane as the base plate 2 are formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2. The protruding dimension of the protruding piece 8 is larger than the diameter of the charging cable 11.

  According to the above configuration, the charging cable holder 1 can relieve the stress applied to the charging cable 11 when the charging cable 11 is wound.

  In the charging cable holder 1 according to the second aspect, in the first aspect, it is preferable that a long hole 35 is formed in each side wall 3 along the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2. As a result, in the charging cable holder 1, the user faces the palm of one hand to the back side of the base plate 2, passes the thumb through one of the two long holes 35, and leaves the remaining long hole 35 to the remaining long hole 35. It is possible to hold the charging cable holder 1 and the charging controller 10 in the recess 4 through the four fingers.

  In the charging cable holder 1 according to the third aspect, in the first or second aspect, the base plate 2 has holes 25 formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction, and the peripheral edges of the holes 25 at both ends in the longitudinal direction. It is preferable that a cover portion 26 that covers at least a part of the rising hole 25 is formed in the same direction as each of the side walls 3 from a part thereof. Since the charging cable holder 1 is formed with the hole 25, for example, the hook 200 fixed to the wall surface 150 or the like can be passed through the hole 25 of the base plate 2 and hooked on the peripheral portion of the hole 25. Further, since the charging cable holder 1 is formed with the cover portion 26, it is possible to prevent the hook 200 from hitting the charging cable 11 when the hook 200 hits the cover portion 26. Thereby, in the charging cable holder 1, the stress concerning the charging cable 11 can be relieved.

  Next, the charging cable holder 1a which concerns on the modification 1 of embodiment is demonstrated based on FIG. Regarding the charging cable holder 1a, the same components as those of the charging cable holder 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  The charging cable holder 1 a is formed with two protruding pieces 8 a instead of the two protruding pieces 8 of the charging cable holder 1. In other words, the charging cable holder 1 a has one protruding piece 8 a formed at each of the longitudinal ends of the base plate 2. The protruding piece 8 a has a semicircular shape like the protruding piece 8, but is different from the protruding piece 8 in that a semicircular hole 83 is formed.

  In the charging cable holder 1a of the first modification, since the hole 83 is formed in the protruding piece 8a, the protruding piece 8a can also serve as a grip portion. Thereby, in charging cable holder 1a of modification 1, the user becomes easier to carry.

  The charging cable holder 1a is similar to the charging cable holder 1, when the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 is set to the vertical direction and the width direction of the base plate 2 is set to the horizontal direction when viewed from one direction in the thickness direction of the base plate 2. It is vertically and horizontally symmetrical.

  Next, the charging cable holder 1b which concerns on the modification 2 of embodiment is demonstrated based on FIG. Regarding the charging cable holder 1b, the same components as those of the charging cable holder 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  The charging cable holder 1 b is formed with two protruding pieces 8 b instead of the two protruding pieces 8 of the charging cable holder 1. That is, the charging cable holder 1 b has one protruding piece 8 b formed at each of the longitudinal ends of the base plate 2.

  The protruding piece 8 b in the charging cable holder 1 b is formed to have a size straddling the two second flanges 7 arranged in the width direction of the base plate 2. The protruding piece 8 b has a semicircular shape with a larger radius than the protruding piece 8. Therefore, the protruding dimension of the protruding piece 8 b in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 is larger than the protruding dimension of the protruding piece 8. Thereby, in the charging cable holder 1b, it is possible to further suppress the user from unwinding the charging cable 11 from the back side of the charging cable holder 1b.

  The charging cable holder 1b is the same as the charging cable holder 1, when the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 is defined as the vertical direction and the width direction of the base plate 2 is defined as the horizontal direction when viewed from one direction in the thickness direction of the base plate 2. It is vertically and horizontally symmetrical.

  Next, the charging cable holder 1c which concerns on the modification 3 of embodiment is demonstrated based on FIG.

  Regarding the charging cable holder 1c, the same components as those of the charging cable holder 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. The charging cable holder 1 c is different from the charging cable holder 1 in that two protruding pieces 8 c are formed instead of one protruding piece 8 at each of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2.

  In the charging cable holder 1 c, the two protruding pieces 8 c are arranged in the direction along the width direction of the base plate 2 at each of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2. The protruding piece 8 c has a semicircular shape like the protruding piece 8.
