In the digital still camera 1, for example, an AA dry battery or a secondary battery having the same shape as the AA dry battery is stored in the battery storage unit 20, and two secondary batteries having the same shape as the AA dry battery are arranged. The integrated battery device 2 can be used. For example, a nickel metal hydride secondary battery 21 is used as the secondary battery constituting the battery device 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the nickel metal hydride secondary battery 21 includes an electrode body including a negative electrode and a positive electrode and an electrolytic solution stored in a cylindrical battery can body 22, and a longitudinal direction of the battery can body 22. A positive electrode terminal portion is formed on one end side, and a negative electrode terminal portion is formed on the other end side. The electrode body housed in the battery can body 22 is wound with a negative electrode active material capable of reversibly absorbing / releasing hydrogen, a belt-shaped negative electrode material carrying a positive electrode active material, and a positive electrode material through a separator, The negative electrode lead and the positive electrode lead are respectively led out to form a negative electrode and a positive electrode.

It is formed as. The battery can body 22 is covered with an insulating sheet material or the like except for the positive terminal portion 22a and the negative terminal portion 22b.

  As shown in FIGS. 5A to 5G, 6, and 7, the battery device 2 includes two nickel metal hydride secondary batteries 21 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the battery can body 22. The terminal portion 22 a and the negative electrode terminal portion 22 b are disposed so as to face each other and are formed by being bonded via a separator 23. As shown in FIG. 8, the separator 23 to which the nickel metal hydride secondary battery 21 is bonded is formed between the separator plate 24 bonded along the longitudinal direction of the battery can body 22 and the adjacent battery can body 22. It has an engaging portion 25 that is provided in accordance with one of the recesses 2a and that engages with a lever switch 61 that is formed in a battery housing portion 20 to be described later. The battery can body 22 is bonded to both side surfaces of the separation plate 24 with an adhesive or the like. The two battery cans 22 bonded to the separation plate 24 have a protruding end of the positive electrode terminal portion 22a formed in a convex shape and an end surface of the negative electrode terminal portion 22b formed flat so as to have the same height. Glued.

  The separation plate 24 is formed of a plate-like body whose side surface is formed in an arc shape corresponding to the battery can body 22, and an engagement portion 25 is formed on the upper surface from the middle portion to one end portion in the longitudinal direction. The lower surface of the separation plate 24 is flattened so that the other concave portion 2b of the battery device 2 is formed in a groove shape in the longitudinal direction. A guide projection 53 formed in the battery storage unit 20 is engaged with the recess 2b.

  The engagement portion 25 formed in one of the recesses 2a of the battery device 2 is engaged with a lever switch 61 formed in the battery storage portion 20, so that the digital still camera 1 can identify the type of the battery device 2. It is for letting you. The engaging portion 25 is formed from the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the separate plate 24 to the rear end side in the insertion direction. The engaging portion 25 is formed with an identification portion 26 for identifying the type of the battery device 2 on the end surface 25a on the front end side in the insertion direction, and formed on the battery lid 15 described later on the end surface 25b on the rear end side in the insertion direction. A protrusion 27 facing the support protrusion 28 is formed.

  As shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, the identification unit 26 has, for example, a convex shape, a flat shape, or the like depending on the discharge capacity of the battery device 2 and the charge / discharge characteristics such as the charge voltage and the charge current. It is formed in a concave shape. When the battery device 2 is inserted into the battery storage unit 20, the identification unit 26 is engaged with a lever switch 61 provided on the movement locus of the engagement unit 25. At this time, since the pressing amount of the lever switch 61 varies depending on the shape of the identification unit 26, the digital still camera 1 determines the type of the inserted battery device 2 by detecting the difference in the pressing amount. Can do. Therefore, the digital still camera 1 can be optimally charged if, for example, the operation of the camera body 11 is invalidated when an incompatible battery device is inserted, or if the inserted battery device 2 can be rapidly charged. It can be charged at a speed.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the protrusion 27 provided on the rear end surface 25 b of the engaging portion 25 is provided at a position lower than the end surface of the battery can body 22. As shown in FIG. 9, the protrusion 27 is formed in the recess 2 a formed between the battery can bodies 22 by the support protrusion 28 provided on the battery cover 15 side when the battery cover 15 closes the battery housing 20. By facing it, it is opposed to the support protrusion 28 with a predetermined clearance. In this state, when the digital still camera 1 is dropped, the protrusion 27 and the support protrusion 28 of the battery lid 15 come into contact with each other before the nickel metal hydride secondary battery 21 comes into contact with the battery lid 15 at the time of a drop collision. Since the contact between the protrusion 27 and the support protrusion 28 is a point contact, even when the camera main body 11 is impacted by the fall of the digital still camera 1, the battery device 2 does not contact the battery device 2 as compared with the case where it hits by surface contact. The applied impact is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent accidents such as the separator 23 and the battery can body 22 being displaced or separated.

  The support protrusions 28 provided on the battery lid 15 are arranged so that when two single batteries or secondary batteries are stored in the battery storage unit 20, the dry batteries or secondary batteries stored adjacent to each other are supported. By being inserted between them, a clearance can be provided, and a danger such as a short circuit can be avoided. In addition, the battery lid 15 is in contact with a positive electrode terminal portion 22a and a negative electrode terminal portion 22b provided on both ends of the support protrusion 28 on the end surface on the rear end side in the insertion direction of the dry battery, the secondary battery, or the battery device 2. The lid electrodes 29 and 30 are formed.

  Further, when the battery device 2 is inserted into the battery storage unit 20 with the polarity reversed, the engagement unit 25 comes into contact with a guide protrusion 53 formed in the battery storage unit 20. Accordingly, the battery device 2 is prevented from being erroneously inserted into the battery storage unit 20. The engaging portion 25 is provided in the recess 2 a of the battery device 2 and has a height that does not protrude beyond the outermost diameter of the battery can body 22.

  The battery device 2 as described above supplies DC power to the power supply circuit of the camera main body 11 when inserted into the battery storage unit 20. Also, when the digital still camera 1 is placed on a camera stand connected to a household AC power supply whose details are omitted while being stored in the battery storage unit 20, the AC power supply is converted into a DC power supply. Then, charging is performed by being supplied. The battery device 2 can also be charged by being attached to a charger 70 described later.

  In addition, the battery apparatus 2 can be comprised using arbitrary storage batteries, such as a lithium ion secondary battery, a nickel cadmium storage battery, and a lead storage battery besides using the nickel hydride secondary battery 21. FIG.

  Next, a description will be given of the DC adapter 3 that supplies the external DC power to the digital still camera 1 by being stored in the battery storage unit 20 and connected to a household AC power supply via an AC / DC converter. As shown in FIGS. 6, 10, and 11, the DC adapter 3 includes an adapter main body 31 and a connector 33 provided at the tip of a cable 32 extended from the adapter main body 31. It is used by being connected to an AC / DC converter 35 having an AC power plug 34.

The adapter main body 31 is provided with first and second cylindrical portions 37 and 38 adjacent to each other in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction corresponding to each storage portion of the battery storage portion 20, and these first and second cylinders are provided. Between the portions 37 and 38, first and second groove portions 39 and 40 are formed on both surfaces along the longitudinal direction. An insertion restricting portion 41 is formed in the first cylindrical portion 37 in accordance with the insertion guide portion 57 formed in the first storage portion 51 of the battery storage portion 20. The insertion restricting portion 41 is for preventing the DC adapter 3 from being inserted into the battery housing portion 20 with the polarity reversed, and causes a part of the outer periphery of the first cylindrical portion 37 to protrude in a square shape. It is formed by. The insertion restricting portion 41 has a first restricting side 41 a and a second restricting side 41 b that are adjacent to each other through the apex of the insertion restricting portion 41, and the first and second restricting portions constituting the insertion restricting portion 41. As shown in FIG. 12A, the sides 41a and 41b are extended from the outer periphery of the first cylindrical portion 37 to form an angle of about 90 ° with each other. Further, the first and second regulating sides 41 a and 41 b are formed so that the central angle θ _{1 of the} arc connecting the base end portions on the outer periphery of the first cylindrical portion 37 is less than 90 °. In other words, the first restriction side 41a is extended to be inclined slightly outward from the tangential direction at the base end portion of the outer periphery of the first cylindrical portion 37, and the second restriction side 41b is The first cylindrical portion 37 extends in the tangential direction at the base end portion of the outer periphery, and the first and second regulating sides 41a and 41b form 90 ° with each other. The first, second restriction sides 41a, 41b are, assuming a circular arc connecting the base end portion on the outer periphery of the first cylindrical portion 37, the center angle theta ₁ of the arc is less than 90 °. Therefore, when the DC adapter 3 is stored in the first storage portion 51 of the battery storage portion 20, the DC adapter 3 is inserted into the insertion guide portion 57 formed in the first storage portion 51 in the same manner as the shape of the insertion restriction portion 41. Guided and can be inserted smoothly. Further, when the DC adapter 3 is inserted into the battery storage portion 20 with the first cylindrical portion 37 and the second cylindrical portion 38 being reversed to reverse the polarity, the insertion restriction portion 41 is stored in the battery storage portion. Insertion is prohibited by contact with the contact portion 58 formed in the portion 20. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12B, the insertion restricting side 41 has the third restricting side 41c and the fourth restricting side 41d both in the tangential direction at the different base end portions of the first cylindrical portion 37. Slightly extended outwardly of the first cylindrical portion 37 and formed so as to form 90 ° with each other, on the outer periphery of the first cylindrical portion 37 of the third and fourth regulating sides 41c and 41d Assuming an arc connecting the base ends, the center angle θ _{2 of the} arc may be formed to be less than 90 °.

  In addition, as for this insertion control part 41, the intersection of the 1st control side 41a and the 2nd control side 41b is chamfered in circular arc shape. Therefore, when inserted into the battery storage unit 20 described later, even if it slides on the insertion guide portion 57 formed in the battery storage unit 20, it does not interfere with each other, so that it can be slid smoothly. Generation of dust and the like due to movement can be prevented.

  The first cylindrical portion 37 is flattened with no electrode terminal portions provided on the front end surface and the rear end surface in the insertion direction.

  The second cylindrical portion 38 is formed with a cutout portion 43 that is cut out in a substantially semicircular cross section from a substantially middle portion in the longitudinal direction to a rear end face in the insertion direction. An end face 43a on the front side in the insertion direction of the cutout portion 43 is formed. Further, a cable 32 connected to the AC / DC converter 35 is extended. When the DC adapter 3 is stored in the battery storage unit 20, the cable 32 is led out of the camera body 11 through a lead-out hole 59 formed in the side surface of the camera body 11. A convex first electrode terminal portion 44 that is in contact with the second electrode 52 a provided in the battery housing portion 20 is formed at the front end portion in the insertion direction of the second cylindrical portion 38. The first electrode terminal portion 44 is a positive electrode.

  The first groove portion 39 provided between the first cylindrical portion 37 and the second cylindrical portion 38 is formed in the battery storage portion 20 when the DC adapter 3 is stored in the battery storage portion 20. The guide protrusion 53 is engaged, and smooth insertion / removal can be performed. The second groove portion 40 is formed with a second electrode terminal portion 45 that comes into contact with the third electrode 62 provided on the engagement protrusion 54 of the battery storage portion 20. The second electrode terminal portion 45 is a negative electrode. As described above, the DC adapter 3 is provided with the electrode terminal portion at the front end portion in the insertion direction of the first cylindrical portion 37 corresponding to the first electrode 51 a provided in the first storage portion 51 of the battery storage portion 20. First, by providing the second electrode terminal portion 45 in the second groove portion 40, the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal are provided at positions apart from the electrode arrangement of the dry battery, the secondary battery, or the battery device 2 described above. Therefore, danger such as short circuit is avoided and safety is ensured. Further, by providing the third electrode 62 at a position corresponding to the second electrode terminal portion 45 in the battery housing portion 20, the second electrode 52a and the third electrode 62 in the battery housing portion 20 are electrically connected. In this case, it can be determined on the digital still camera 1 side that the dedicated DC adapter 3 suitable for the digital still camera 1 is used. Therefore, it is possible to cause the digital still camera 1 to perform a special operation that can be performed only when the dedicated DC adapter 3 is used.

  The second electrode terminal portion 45 is formed at a height that does not protrude from the first and second cylindrical portions 37 and 38. That is, the second electrode terminal portion 45 is set lower than the outer peripheral surfaces of the first and second cylindrical portions 37 and 38 on the side where the second groove portion 40 is exposed. Therefore, the DC adapter 3 can avoid the risk of damaging the components and the like in the battery storage unit 20 by the second electrode terminal unit 45, the contamination of the second electrode terminal unit 45, and the short circuit. .

  Further, the DC adapter 3 has a third groove portion 46 that is continuous from the first groove portion 39 on the rear end surface in the insertion direction. When the DC adapter 3 is stored in the battery storage unit 20 and is closed by the battery lid 15, the support groove 28 provided on the battery lid 15 is fitted into the third groove 46.

  When such a DC adapter 3 is inserted into the battery storage unit 20, a positive first electrode terminal unit 44 formed at the front end of the second cylindrical unit 38 in the insertion direction is provided on the battery storage unit 20 side. Before making contact with the formed second electrode 52 a, the negative second electrode terminal portion 45 formed in the second groove portion 40 makes contact with the third electrode 62 formed on the engaging protrusion 54. Thus, since the negative electrode terminal contacts before the positive electrode terminal, stable power supply can be performed.

  Further, in the DC adapter 3, the first cylindrical portion 37 is flattened at the front end surface in the insertion direction, and the second cylinder is formed with the convex first electrode terminal portion 44 on the front end surface in the insertion direction. Compared to the portion 38, the battery device 2, the dry battery 4, or the secondary battery 5, the length is shorter in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, when the battery is inserted into the battery housing portion 20, the load on the first cylindrical portion 37 by the support spring 51 b provided on the first electrode 51 a of the battery housing portion 20 is reduced. The spring pressure when closing the battery cover 15 after storing the DC adapter 3 is small, the closing operation by the battery cover 15 can be easily performed, and the operational feeling can be improved.

  Next, the primary battery or secondary battery that supplies drive power to the camera body 11 or the battery storage unit 20 in which the battery device 2 or the DC adapter 3 is stored will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the battery storage unit 20 is formed on the bottom surface of the camera body 11, and the first and second storage units 51 and 52 into which various power supplies are inserted face outward. The battery lid 15 is closed by a battery lid 15 (not shown in FIG. 6). The first and second storage portions 51 and 52 are formed in a hollow cylindrical shape having a size suitable for storing, for example, AA batteries, and are provided side by side in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. In addition, the first storage unit 51 and the second storage unit 52 are continuous over the longitudinal direction, and the cylindrical body is disposed between the first storage unit 51 and the second storage unit 52 in the longitudinal direction. Depending on the recesses 2b and the first groove 39 formed between the cylindrical bodies of the primary battery, the secondary battery, the battery device 2 and the DC adapter 3 arranged in a direction orthogonal to the above, these various power supplies can be inserted and removed. A guide projection 53 that guides the projection, and an engagement projection 54 in which a lever switch 61 and a third electrode 62 described later are formed.

As shown in FIG. 14, the first storage portion 51 is formed with an insertion guide portion 57 that guides insertion of the DC adapter and prevents erroneous insertion at a part of the inner periphery. The insertion guide portion 57 is formed by cutting a part of the inner peripheral wall of the first storage portion 51 into a square shape. The insertion guide portion 57 includes a first guide side 57 a and a second guide side 57 b which are adjacent to each other via the apex of the insertion guide portion 57, and the first and second guide sides constituting the insertion guide portion 57. 57a and 57b are extended from the inner peripheral wall of the 1st accommodating part 51, and make the angle of about 90 degrees mutually. The first and second guide sides 57a, 57 b is, the center of the arc angle theta ₃ connecting the base end portion on the inner peripheral wall of the first housing portion 51 is formed below 90 °. That is, the first guide side 57a is inclined and extended slightly outward from the first storage portion 51 with respect to the tangential direction at the base end portion of the inner peripheral wall, and the second guide side 57b is the base end of the inner peripheral wall. The first and second guide sides 57a and 57b form 90 ° with respect to each other. The first, second guide sides 57a, 57 b is, assuming a circular arc connecting the base end portion on the inner peripheral wall, the center angle theta ₃ of the circular arc is less than 90 °. Accordingly, the first storage portion 51 has a notch angle of less than 90 ° in which the insertion guide portion 57 is formed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, AA type dry batteries and secondary batteries are inserted. In this case, the inner peripheral wall can partially support the side surface on the insertion guide portion 57 side, and it is possible to prevent these from rattling in the notch direction of the insertion guide portion 57.

  In this insertion guide portion 57, the intersection of the first guide side 57a and the second guide side 57b is chamfered in an arc shape. Therefore, when the DC adapter 3 to be described later is inserted, even if the insertion restricting portion 41 formed on the DC adapter 3 does not interfere with each other, it can be slid smoothly, and dust caused by sliding Etc. can be prevented.

  Further, the second storage portion 52 is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape, and the insertion restricting portion 41 contacts when the DC adapter 3 is inserted with the polarity reversed by cutting out a part of the inner peripheral wall. Thus, a contact portion 58 that prevents insertion of the DC adapter 3 is formed. A lead-out hole 59 that guides the cord extended from the DC adapter 3 to the outside of the camera body 11 is formed in the vicinity of the contact portion 58. The lead-out hole 59 is closed by a flexible closing piece 60. One end of the closing piece 60 is attached to the camera body 11, and when the DC adapter 3 is inserted, the closing piece 60 is rotated in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 6 to open the outlet hole 59 and extend from the DC adapter 3. The cable 32 is discharged out of the camera body 11.

  The first storage 51 has a first electrode 51a on the bottom surface, and the second storage 52 has a second electrode 52a on the bottom. The first electrode 51 a and the second electrode 52 a are inserted into the various power sources when the battery device 2, the dry battery 4 or the secondary battery 5 are stored in the first and second storage portions 51 and 52. Support springs 51b and 52b are provided to support the electrode terminal portions formed on the end surfaces.

  Here, as described above, in the DC adapter 3, the first cylindrical portion 37 is formed shorter in the longitudinal direction than the second cylindrical portion 38, the battery device 2, the dry battery 4, or the secondary battery 5. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, the support spring 51 b provided on the first electrode 51 a reduces the load on the first cylindrical portion 37, and therefore, when the battery cover 15 after the DC adapter 3 is stored is closed.
