  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a charging connector in which a power receiving unit capable of selectively connecting the first power feeding connector and the second power feeding connector is integrally provided in the recess of the housing, The power receiving unit includes a first lid that can open and close a first power receiving unit to which the first power supply connector is connected, and a second lid that can open and close a second power receiving unit other than the first power receiving unit among the power receiving units. A first lid connected to the first power receiving unit in a state of being attached to the second power receiving unit. It has a feature in that an overhanging portion that restricts the movement of the second lid portion by being pushed by the power feeding connector is provided.

  In the present invention, when charging is performed by connecting the first power feeding connector to the first power receiving unit, the second lid is attached to the second power receiving unit. In the present invention, the second lid portion is formed so as to protrude toward the first power receiving portion, and is attached to the second power receiving portion, and is pushed by the first power supply connector connected to the first power receiving portion. An overhang portion that restricts the movement of the lid portion is provided. Therefore, when the first power feeding connector is connected to the first power receiving unit and charging is performed, the overhanging portion of the second lid portion is pushed by the first power feeding connector so that the movement is restricted. Two lid parts are hold | maintained in the state attached to the 2nd power receiving part, and the problem of the contact to another power receiving part (2nd power receiving part) does not arise.

  Further, when charging is performed by connecting the second power feeding connector to the entire power receiving unit, the power feeding connector is connected to the entire power receiving unit, so that there is no problem of contact with other power receiving units. When connecting to the second power receiving unit, if the first lid is attached to the first power receiving unit, the problem of contact with other power receiving units (first power receiving unit) does not occur. Therefore, even when the second power supply connector is connected and charging is performed, there is no problem of contact with other power receiving units.

In the present invention, in the charging connector integrally provided with the power receiving unit to which the two power feeding connectors can be selectively connected, the first lid and the second lid may be attached respectively. It is not necessary to overlap the parts. Therefore, according to this invention, in order to arrange | position a 1st cover part and a 2nd cover part, the space in the fitting direction of an electric power feeding connector is unnecessary.
As a result, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a charging connector that is space-saving but prevents contact with other power receiving units.

The present invention may have the following configurations.
The overhanging portion may be formed to restrict movement of the second lid portion by being pushed by the first lid portion when the first lid portion is attached to the first power receiving portion. Good. With such a configuration, even when the first lid is attached to the first power receiving unit, the movement of the second lid is restricted, so that the power receiving unit is unlikely to be in an open state and safety is improved.

The first lid portion may be formed with a locking portion that is locked to the housing, while the housing may be formed with a locked portion that locks the first lid portion.
In such a configuration, the first lid portion can be locked to the housing and the movement of the first lid portion is restricted, so that the first power receiving portion can be prevented from being opened. In particular, when the overhanging portion is configured to restrict the movement of the second lid by being pushed by the first lid, the movement of the second lid is also reliably restricted. 2 It is also possible to reliably prevent the power receiving unit from being opened.

  The second power feeding connector may be connected to cover the entire power receiving unit. With such a configuration, the problem of contact with other power receiving units does not occur during the charging operation using the second power feeding connector.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, although it is space-saving, the charging connector which prevented the contact to another power receiving part can be provided.
