Description

本発明は、電動自転車等の電動車両の充電装置及び充電システムに関する。   The present invention relates to a charging device and a charging system for an electric vehicle such as an electric bicycle.

従来、電動自転車等の電動車両を駐車スタンドに駐車することにより、自動的に電動車両のバッテリへの充電が開始される充電システムが知られている。例えば、特許文献１には、バッテリを充電するための充電装置として、電動車両を駐車するための駐車スタンドに固定された第１ユニットと、電動車両に固定されており第１ユニットに接続可能な第２ユニットと、を備えるものが開示されている。第１ユニットは、電源に接続された第１電線と、第１電線に接続された第１コネクタと、第１コネクタを支持する支持部材と、を有している。第２ユニットは、バッテリに接続された第２電線と、第２電線の先端に接続された第２コネクタと、第２コネクタを覆う形状を有するフード部と、を有している。支持部材は、電動車両を駐車スタンドに駐車するときに第２コネクタが第１コネクタに近づく接続方向と反対方向に向かって開口する形状を有している。具体的に、支持部材は、第１コネクタの周囲を覆うとともにフード部を受け入れ可能な円筒状のコネクタケースと、このコネクタケースから前記接続方向と反対方向に向かうにしたがって次第に前記接続方向と直交する方向の外向きに広がる形状を有するガイド部と、を有している。フード部は、コネクタケースよりも一回り小さくかつ第１コネクタよりも一回り大きな径を有する円筒状に形成されている。このフード部は、電動車両のフロントホークに取り付けられている。具体的に、フード部は、フロントホークのうち電動車両が駐車スタンドに駐車された際に当該フード部が支持部材内に挿入されることが可能な部位に取り付けられている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a charging system is known in which charging of an electric vehicle battery is automatically started by parking an electric vehicle such as an electric bicycle in a parking stand. For example, in Patent Document 1, as a charging device for charging a battery, a first unit fixed to a parking stand for parking an electric vehicle, and a first unit fixed to the electric vehicle and connectable to the first unit. A second unit is disclosed. The first unit includes a first electric wire connected to the power source, a first connector connected to the first electric wire, and a support member that supports the first connector. The 2nd unit has the 2nd electric wire connected to the battery, the 2nd connector connected to the tip of the 2nd electric wire, and the hood part which has the shape which covers the 2nd connector. The support member has a shape that opens in a direction opposite to the connection direction in which the second connector approaches the first connector when the electric vehicle is parked on the parking stand. Specifically, the support member covers the periphery of the first connector and can receive the hood portion, and the support member gradually becomes orthogonal to the connection direction from the connector case toward the opposite direction to the connection direction. And a guide portion having a shape that spreads outward in the direction. The hood portion is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter that is slightly smaller than the connector case and slightly larger than that of the first connector. This hood part is attached to the front fork of the electric vehicle. Specifically, the hood portion is attached to a portion of the front hawk where the hood portion can be inserted into the support member when the electric vehicle is parked on the parking stand.

上記特許文献１に記載の電動車両を駐車スタンドに駐車する際には、より詳細には、電動車両の前輪を駐車スタンドのレールに沿って前記接続方向に進行させる際には、前輪が所定の駐車位置に至る過程においてフード部が支持部材内に徐々に挿入され、前輪が所定の駐車位置に位置したときに第２コネクタが第１コネクタに接続される。よって、電動車両を駐車スタンドに駐車することによって自動的にバッテリへの充電が開始される。   When the electric vehicle described in Patent Document 1 is parked in a parking stand, more specifically, when the front wheels of the electric vehicle are advanced in the connection direction along the rails of the parking stand, the front wheels In the process of reaching the parking position, the hood portion is gradually inserted into the support member, and the second connector is connected to the first connector when the front wheel is positioned at the predetermined parking position. Therefore, the battery is automatically charged by parking the electric vehicle at the parking stand.

また、前記支持部材は、駐車スタンドに固定されたコネクタボックス内に収容されている。具体的に、支持部材は、当該支持部材がコネクタボックスに対して左右方向に相対変位可能となるようにコイルばねによりコネクタボックス内に保持されている。このため、第１コネクタと第２コネクタとが前記接続方向に重なる正規姿勢から第２コネクタが第１コネクタに対して左右方向のいずれかに変位した変位姿勢で電動車両が駐車スタンドのレールに沿って前記接続方向に進行された場合であっても、第２コネクタと第１コネクタとの接続不良が有効に回避される。具体的に、電動車両が前記変位姿勢でレールに沿って進行されると、フード部の前記接続方向の先端部が支持部材のガイド部の内周面に当接し、この状態からさらに電動車両が前記接続方向に沿って進行されると、フード部の先端部がガイド部の内周面を前記接続方向に押圧することによって支持部材がコネクタボックスに対して第２ユニットが変位している方向と同じ方向に向かって変位する。すなわち、第１ユニットは、第２ユニットの変位に追従するように変位する。よって、電動車両が前記変位姿勢でレールに沿って進行された場合であっても、電動車両の前記接続方向に沿った進行にともなって第１コネクタと第２コネクタとが前記正規姿勢となり、これにより第２コネクタと第１コネクタとの接続不良が抑制される。   The support member is housed in a connector box fixed to a parking stand. Specifically, the support member is held in the connector box by a coil spring so that the support member can be displaced relative to the connector box in the left-right direction. For this reason, the electric vehicle follows the rails of the parking stand in a displacement posture in which the second connector is displaced in any of the left and right directions with respect to the first connector from a normal posture in which the first connector and the second connector overlap in the connection direction. Thus, even if the process proceeds in the connection direction, poor connection between the second connector and the first connector is effectively avoided. Specifically, when the electric vehicle travels along the rail in the displacement posture, the tip end portion of the hood portion in the connection direction comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the guide portion of the support member. When the travel direction is advanced along the connection direction, the tip of the hood portion presses the inner peripheral surface of the guide portion in the connection direction, so that the support member is displaced in the direction in which the second unit is displaced with respect to the connector box. Displacement in the same direction. That is, the first unit is displaced so as to follow the displacement of the second unit. Therefore, even when the electric vehicle is moved along the rail in the displacement posture, the first connector and the second connector become the normal posture as the electric vehicle moves along the connection direction. This suppresses connection failure between the second connector and the first connector.

And a second unit that can be fixed to the other of the parking stand and the electric vehicle and can be connected to the first unit.

An abutting portion that abuts against the second support member in a direction toward the surface, and abuts the abutting portion against the second support member and the abutting end portion of the second connector.

Towards the unit side The first support has a shape that biases and allows the protection member to be displaced from the protection position to the exposure position while being accompanied by compressive deformation of the elastic member in a direction parallel to the connection direction. The member has a receiving portion that opens to the second unit side in a direction parallel to the connection direction and receives the abutting end portion, and the receiving portion moves the protective member from the protected position to the exposed position.

Between the reference posture when the first support member is not present and an inclined posture in which the first connector is inclined at a specific angle in a direction perpendicular to the connection direction from the reference posture.

本充電装置では、第１ユニット及び第２ユニットの一方が駐車スタンドに固定され他方が電動車両に固定された状態で電動車両を駐車スタンドに駐車する際、両ユニットが互いに衝突した際の衝撃が低減されるのでこれらユニットの破損が抑制され、しかも、両コネクタ同士が前記接続方向と平行な方向に互いに重なる正規姿勢から電動車両が特定方向（例えば左方向）に変位した変位姿勢で駐車スタンドに駐車された場合のコネクタ同士の接続不良が抑制される。具体的に、電動車両が前記変位姿勢で駐車スタンドに駐車されたときに第１ユニットの受け部と第２ユニットの当接端部とが互いに衝突した際、保護部材が弾性部材を前記接続方向と反対方向へ押圧することによって弾性部材が圧縮変形しながら保護部材が前記反対方向へ変位（後退）するので、当接端部及び受け部に作用する衝撃が緩和される。よって、受け部及び当接端部の破損が抑制される。また、電動車両の駐車時以外（走行時等）は、保護部材が弾性部材により保護位置に付勢されており第２コネクタが保護部材から外部に露出していないので、電動車両の駐車時にコネクタ同士が直接衝突することに起因する当該コネクタの破損も抑制される。そして、弾性部材が前記衝撃を吸収したときの当該弾性部材の弾性復帰力によって保護部材が第１ユニットの受け部を押圧することにより、第１支持部材が前記基準姿勢から前記傾斜姿勢となるので、両コネクタ同士が互いに接続可能な姿勢に調整される。このため、保護部材の当接端部が受け部に接触した後にそのまま弾性部材の弾性力に抗しながら電動車両を前記接続方向に進行させると、保護部材が露出位置に位置することにより第２コネクタが保護部材から露出し、これにより第２コネクタが第１コネクタに接続される。よって、本充電装置では、電動車両が前記変位姿勢で駐車スタンドに駐車された場合におけるコネクタ同士の接続不良及び各ユニットの破損の双方を抑制することができる。   In this charging apparatus, when one of the first unit and the second unit is fixed to the parking stand and the other is fixed to the electric vehicle, the electric vehicle is parked on the parking stand, and the impact when the two units collide with each other is detected. As a result, the damage to these units is suppressed, and the electric vehicle is displaced in a specific direction (for example, the left direction) from a normal posture where both connectors overlap each other in a direction parallel to the connection direction. Connection failure between connectors when parked is suppressed. Specifically, when the electric vehicle is parked on the parking stand in the displacement posture, when the receiving portion of the first unit and the abutting end portion of the second unit collide with each other, the protective member moves the elastic member in the connection direction. When the elastic member is compressed and deformed by pressing in the opposite direction, the protective member is displaced (retracted) in the opposite direction, so that the impact acting on the contact end portion and the receiving portion is reduced. Therefore, damage to the receiving portion and the contact end portion is suppressed. Further, when the electric vehicle is not parked (during traveling, etc.), the protective member is biased to the protective position by the elastic member, and the second connector is not exposed to the outside from the protective member. Damage to the connector due to direct collision of each other is also suppressed. When the elastic member absorbs the impact, the protective member presses the receiving portion of the first unit by the elastic restoring force of the elastic member, so that the first support member changes from the reference posture to the inclined posture. The posture is adjusted so that both connectors can be connected to each other. For this reason, when the electric vehicle is advanced in the connection direction while resisting the elastic force of the elastic member as it is after the contact end portion of the protective member comes into contact with the receiving portion, the protective member is positioned at the exposed position. The connector is exposed from the protective member, whereby the second connector is connected to the first connector. Therefore, in this charging device, it is possible to suppress both poor connection between connectors and damage to each unit when the electric vehicle is parked on the parking stand in the displacement posture.

具体的に、前記第２支持部材は、駐車スタンド及び電動車両の他方に固定されることが可能な基部と、前記第２コネクタを保持する保持部材と、を有し、前記基部は、当該基部に対して前記保持部材が前記接続方向と直交する方向に変位するのを許容するように当該保持部材を支持可能な形状を有することが好ましい。   Specifically, the second support member includes a base that can be fixed to the other of the parking stand and the electric vehicle, and a holding member that holds the second connector, and the base includes the base The holding member preferably has a shape capable of supporting the holding member so as to allow the holding member to be displaced in a direction orthogonal to the connection direction.

このようにすれば、第１支持部材の駐車スタンド及び電動車両の一方に対する変位に加えて、保持部材の基部（駐車スタンド及び電動車両の他方）に対する変位によって各コネクタの姿勢が調整されるので、電動車両が前記変位姿勢で駐車スタンドに駐車された際のコネクタ同士の接続不良がより確実に抑制される。   In this way, in addition to the displacement of the first support member relative to one of the parking stand and the electric vehicle, the posture of each connector is adjusted by the displacement of the holding member relative to the base (the other of the parking stand and the electric vehicle). Connection failure between the connectors when the electric vehicle is parked on the parking stand in the displacement posture is more reliably suppressed.

この場合において、前記接続方向と直交する方向における前記保持部材に対する前記保護部材の相対変位よりも同方向における前記基部に対する前記保持部材の相対変位の方が大きくなるように、前記保持部材と前記基部との隙間が前記保持部材と前記保護部材との隙間よりも大きく設定されていることが好ましい。   In this case, the holding member and the base are arranged such that the relative displacement of the holding member with respect to the base in the same direction is larger than the relative displacement of the protection member with respect to the holding member in a direction orthogonal to the connection direction. Is preferably set larger than the gap between the holding member and the protective member.

このようにすれば、保持部材と保護部材との隙間の方が保持部材と基部との隙間よりも大きい場合に比べて、保護部材の変位に追随するように保持部材が基部に対して変位するので、電動車両が前記変位姿勢で駐車スタンドに駐車された際のコネクタ同士の接続不良がさらに抑制される。   In this case, the holding member is displaced with respect to the base so as to follow the displacement of the protective member as compared with the case where the gap between the holding member and the protective member is larger than the gap between the holding member and the base. Therefore, the connection failure between the connectors when the electric vehicle is parked on the parking stand in the displacement posture is further suppressed.

また、本発明において、前記受け部は、前記当接端部を受ける受け面を有し、前記受け面は、前記接続方向と平行な方向について前記第２ユニット側に向かうにしたがって次第に前記接続方向と直交する方向の外向きに広がる形状を有することが好ましい。   In the present invention, the receiving portion has a receiving surface for receiving the abutting end portion, and the receiving surface gradually moves toward the second unit in a direction parallel to the connecting direction. It is preferable to have a shape that spreads outward in a direction orthogonal to the direction.

このようにすれば、電動車両が前記変位姿勢で駐車スタンドに駐車された場合であっても、受け部が保護部材を前記保護位置に向けてより確実に押圧することができる。   If it does in this way, even if it is a case where an electric vehicle is parked on the parking stand in the said displacement attitude | position, a receiving part can press a protection member toward the said protection position more reliably.

この場合において、前記当接端部は、前記受け面に面接触する形状を有する外周面を有することが好ましい。   In this case, it is preferable that the contact end portion has an outer peripheral surface having a shape in surface contact with the receiving surface.

このようにすれば、受け部と保護部材との接触面積が大きく確保されるので、電動車両が駐車スタンドに駐車された際に受け部及び保護部材に作用する衝撃が低減される。よって、受け部及び保護部材の破損が一層抑制される。   In this way, a large contact area between the receiving portion and the protection member is ensured, so that an impact acting on the receiving portion and the protection member when the electric vehicle is parked on the parking stand is reduced. Therefore, damage to the receiving part and the protection member is further suppressed.

また、本発明において、前記第２ユニットは、前記保護部材の前記当接端部あるいは前記保護部材の内側でかつ前記当接端部よりも前記第１ユニット側とは反対側に位置する部位に固定されており当該保護部材内への塵の進入を抑制する防塵部材をさらに有し、前記防塵部材は、前記保護部材が前記保護位置に位置するときに前記第２コネクタを覆う閉じ姿勢と、前記保護部材が前記保護位置から前記露出位置に向かって変位するときに当該防塵部材を前記第２コネクタが通過するのを許容するように変形する変形姿勢と、を有することが好ましい。   Further, in the present invention, the second unit is located on the contact end portion of the protection member or on the inner side of the protection member and on the opposite side of the contact end portion from the first unit side. A dust-proof member that is fixed and suppresses entry of dust into the protection member, and the dust-proof member has a closed posture that covers the second connector when the protection member is located at the protection position; It is preferable to have a deformed posture that deforms so as to allow the second connector to pass through the dustproof member when the protective member is displaced from the protected position toward the exposed position.

このようにすれば、第２コネクタと第１コネクタとの良好な接続状態を確保しながら保護部材内への塵等の進入を抑制することができる。   If it does in this way, entry of dust etc. into a protection member can be controlled, ensuring a good connection state of the 2nd connector and the 1st connector.

また、本発明において、前記第１支持部材の前記基準姿勢を調整するための姿勢調整部材をさらに有することが好ましい。   In the present invention, it is preferable to further include a posture adjusting member for adjusting the reference posture of the first support member.

このようにすれば、第１支持部材の基準姿勢を所望の姿勢に調整することができる。   In this way, the reference posture of the first support member can be adjusted to a desired posture.

保護部材５６０は、第２コネクタ５２０を保護する形状を有しており、第２支持部材５３０に対して前記接続方向と平行な方向に沿って相対変位することが可能となるように当該第２支持部材５３０に支持されている。保護部材５６０は、第２コネクタ５２０及び保持部５５２の周囲を被覆する被覆部５６２と、被覆部５６２に接続された接続壁５６６と、第２支持部材５３０に当接する当接部５６８と、を有する。   The protection member 560 has a shape that protects the second connector 520, and the second support member 530 can be relatively displaced along a direction parallel to the connection direction with respect to the second support member 530. It is supported by the support member 530. The protection member 560 includes a covering portion 562 that covers the periphery of the second connector 520 and the holding portion 552, a connection wall 566 that is connected to the covering portion 562, and an abutting portion 568 that abuts on the second support member 530. Have.

被覆部５６２は、第２コネクタ５２０及び保持部５５２の周囲を全域にわたって被覆する形状を有する。本実施形態では、被覆部５６２は、円筒状に形成されている。図３に示されるように、被覆部５６２の前記接続方向と平行な方向の寸法は、第２コネクタ５２０及び保持部５５２の同方向の寸法よりも大きく設定されている。被覆部５６２は、第１ユニット４００の受け部４３６に当接する当接端部５６２ａを有する。この当接端部５６２ａは、被覆部５６２のうち前記接続方向の先端側の端部に形成されている。当接端部５６２ａの外周面５６２ｂは、受け部４３６の受け面４３６ａと面接触可能な形状に設定されている。   The covering portion 562 has a shape that covers the entire periphery of the second connector 520 and the holding portion 552. In the present embodiment, the covering portion 562 is formed in a cylindrical shape. As shown in FIG. 3, the dimension of the covering portion 562 in the direction parallel to the connection direction is set larger than the dimensions of the second connector 520 and the holding portion 552 in the same direction. The covering portion 562 has a contact end portion 562 a that contacts the receiving portion 436 of the first unit 400. The contact end portion 562a is formed at an end portion on the distal end side in the connection direction of the covering portion 562. The outer peripheral surface 562b of the contact end portion 562a is set to have a shape that allows surface contact with the receiving surface 436a of the receiving portion 436.

接続壁５６６は、被覆部５６２の前記接続方向の後端部に接続されている。接続壁５６６は、円板状に形成されている。接続壁５６６は、連結部５５６の挿通を許容する形状を有する空間を取り囲む挿通面５６６ａを有している。挿通面５６６ａは、円筒状に形成されている。図７に示されるように、挿通面５６６ａと連結部５５６の外周面との隙間Ｓ１は、被覆部５６２の内周面と保持部５５２の外周面との隙間Ｓ２よりも小さく設定されている。   The connection wall 566 is connected to the rear end of the covering portion 562 in the connection direction. The connection wall 566 is formed in a disc shape. The connection wall 566 has an insertion surface 566a surrounding a space having a shape that allows the connection portion 556 to be inserted. The insertion surface 566a is formed in a cylindrical shape. As shown in FIG. 7, the gap S <b> 1 between the insertion surface 566 a and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 556 is set to be smaller than the gap S <b> 2 between the inner peripheral surface of the covering portion 562 and the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 552.

当接部５６８は、被覆部５６２の前記接続方向の後端部の外周面から径方向の外向きに突出する形状を有する。当接部５６８は、前記接続方向に向かって係止部５４６に当接する。当接部５６８の外周面は、円筒状に形成されている。本実施形態では、当接部５６８の前記接続方向の先端部５６８ａは、前記接続方向に向かうにしたがって次第に径方向の内側に向かうように傾斜する形状に形成されている。このため、当接部５６８が係止部５４６に当接することにより基部５４０に対する保護部材５６０の位置が決定される。   The contact portion 568 has a shape that protrudes outward in the radial direction from the outer peripheral surface of the rear end portion of the covering portion 562 in the connection direction. The abutting portion 568 abuts on the locking portion 546 toward the connection direction. The outer peripheral surface of the contact part 568 is formed in a cylindrical shape. In the present embodiment, the tip end portion 568a of the contact portion 568 in the connection direction is formed in a shape that is inclined so as to gradually go inward in the radial direction as it goes toward the connection direction. For this reason, the position of the protection member 560 relative to the base 540 is determined by the contact portion 568 coming into contact with the locking portion 546.

保護部材５６０は、第２コネクタ５２０を保護する保護位置（図３を参照）と、第２コネクタ５２０を被覆部５６２外に露出させる露出位置（図４を参照）と、の間で第２支持部材５３０に対して前記接続方向と平行な方向に沿って変位可能となるように連結部５５６に支持されている。前記保護位置は、当接端部５６２ａが第２接続面５２４ａよりも第１ユニット４００側に位置することにより被覆部５６２が第２コネクタ５２０を保護する位置である。前記露出位置は、当接端部５６２ａが第２接続面５２４ａよりも第１ユニット４００側と反対側に位置することにより被覆部５６２から第２コネクタ５２０を露出させる位置である。本実施形態では、当接端部５６２ａが受け部４３６によって前記接続方向と反対方向に押圧されることにより、挿通面５６６ａが前記反対方向に沿って連結部５５６の外周面に対して摺動しながら保護部材５６０が前記露出位置に向かって変位する。換言すれば、受け部４３６は、保護部材５６０が前記保護位置から前記露出位置に至るように当接端部５６２ａを前記接続方向と反対方向に押圧可能である。また、受け部４３６は、保護部材５６０が前記露出位置に位置したときに第２コネクタ５２０の第１コネクタ４２０への接続を許容する位置に形成されている。   The protection member 560 has a second support between a protection position that protects the second connector 520 (see FIG. 3) and an exposed position that exposes the second connector 520 to the outside of the covering portion 562 (see FIG. 4). The member 530 is supported by the connecting portion 556 so as to be displaceable along a direction parallel to the connection direction. The protection position is a position where the covering portion 562 protects the second connector 520 when the contact end portion 562a is located closer to the first unit 400 than the second connection surface 524a. The exposed position is a position at which the second connector 520 is exposed from the covering portion 562 when the contact end portion 562a is located on the opposite side of the first unit 400 from the second connection surface 524a. In the present embodiment, the contact end portion 562a is pressed by the receiving portion 436 in the direction opposite to the connection direction, so that the insertion surface 566a slides with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 556 along the opposite direction. However, the protective member 560 is displaced toward the exposed position. In other words, the receiving portion 436 can press the contact end portion 562a in the direction opposite to the connection direction so that the protective member 560 reaches the exposed position from the protected position. The receiving portion 436 is formed at a position that allows the connection of the second connector 520 to the first connector 420 when the protection member 560 is positioned at the exposed position.

本実施形態では、図７に示されるように、当接部５６８の外周面と突出部５４４の内周面との間には隙間Ｓ３が形成されており、被覆部５６２の外周面と係止部５４６の内周面との間には隙間Ｓ４が形成されている。そして、挿通面５６６ａと連結部５５６の外周面との隙間Ｓ１は、支持面５４２ａと被支持部５５４の外周面との隙間Ｓ５よりも小さく設定されている。このため、図８に示されるように、保護部材５６０は、被支持部５５４を支点とする保持部５５２の基部５４０に対する前記直交方向への揺動に追随するように同方向に変位する。本実施形態では、当接部５６８の外周面と突出部５４４の内周面との隙間Ｓ３よりも、被覆部５６２の外周面と係止部５４６の内周面との隙間Ｓ４の方が小さく設定されている。よって、図８に示されるように、保持部５５２及び保護部材５６０の前記直交方向への変位は、被覆部５６２の外周面が係止部５４６の内周面に当接する範囲内で許容される。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, a gap S3 is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the contact portion 568 and the inner peripheral surface of the protruding portion 544, and is engaged with the outer peripheral surface of the covering portion 562. A gap S <b> 4 is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the portion 546. The clearance S1 between the insertion surface 566a and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 556 is set to be smaller than the clearance S5 between the support surface 542a and the outer peripheral surface of the supported portion 554. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the protection member 560 is displaced in the same direction so as to follow the swing in the orthogonal direction with respect to the base portion 540 of the holding portion 552 with the supported portion 554 as a fulcrum. In the present embodiment, the gap S4 between the outer peripheral surface of the covering portion 562 and the inner peripheral surface of the locking portion 546 is smaller than the gap S3 between the outer peripheral surface of the contact portion 568 and the inner peripheral surface of the protruding portion 544. Is set. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the displacement of the holding portion 552 and the protection member 560 in the orthogonal direction is allowed within a range where the outer peripheral surface of the covering portion 562 contacts the inner peripheral surface of the locking portion 546. .

弾性部材５７０は、支持壁５４２と接続壁５６６との間に配置されている。弾性部材５７０は、前記接続方向と平行な方向に弾性変形することが可能であり、前記接続方向と平行な方向に圧縮変形したときの弾発力（復帰力）によって基部５４０に対して保護部材５６０を前記接続方向に付勢する。本実施形態では、弾性部材５７０として、コイルばねが用いられている。弾性部材５７０は、当該弾性部材５７０内に連結部５５６を挿通した状態でかつわずかに圧縮変形した状態で支持壁５４２と接続壁５６６との間（突出部５４４内）に配置されている。弾性部材５７０は、当接部５６８が係止部５４６に当接するように接続壁５６６を前記接続方向に付勢する。図３に示されるように、当接部５６８が係止部５４６に当接することにより被覆部５６２が前記保護位置に位置決めされる。弾性部材５７０は、前記接続方向と平行な方向についての当該弾性部材５７０の圧縮変形を伴いながら保護部材５６０が前記保護位置から前記露出位置に変位するのを許容する。保護部材５６０が前記露出位置に位置したとき、当接部５６８は係止部５４６から離間している。   The elastic member 570 is disposed between the support wall 542 and the connection wall 566. The elastic member 570 can be elastically deformed in a direction parallel to the connection direction, and is a protective member for the base portion 540 by an elastic force (restoring force) when compressed and deformed in a direction parallel to the connection direction. 560 is biased in the connecting direction. In the present embodiment, a coil spring is used as the elastic member 570. The elastic member 570 is disposed between the support wall 542 and the connection wall 566 (within the protruding portion 544) in a state where the connecting portion 556 is inserted into the elastic member 570 and is slightly compressed and deformed. The elastic member 570 biases the connection wall 566 in the connection direction so that the contact portion 568 contacts the locking portion 546. As shown in FIG. 3, the contact portion 568 comes into contact with the locking portion 546 so that the covering portion 562 is positioned at the protection position. The elastic member 570 allows the protective member 560 to be displaced from the protected position to the exposed position while being accompanied by compressive deformation of the elastic member 570 in a direction parallel to the connection direction. When the protective member 560 is positioned at the exposed position, the contact portion 568 is separated from the locking portion 546.

防塵部材５８０は、被覆部５６２内への塵埃や水滴の進入を抑制する部材である。図３及び図９に示されるように、防塵部材５８０は、被覆部５６２に固定されるベースリング５８２と、ベースリング５８２に接続された複数枚の防塵シート５８４と、を有する。   The dustproof member 580 is a member that suppresses entry of dust and water droplets into the covering portion 562. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 9, the dust-proof member 580 includes a base ring 582 fixed to the covering portion 562 and a plurality of dust-proof sheets 584 connected to the base ring 582.

ベースリング５８２は、円環状に形成されている。ベースリング５８２は、被覆部５６２内でかつ当接端部５６２ａよりも第１ユニット４００側とは反対側に位置する部位に固定されている。本実施形態では、被覆部５６２は、互いに前記接続方向と平行な方向に嵌合可能な形状を有する第１部材５６３及び第２部材５６４により構成されており、ベースリング５８２は、第１部材５６３と第２部材５６４との間に挟持されている。なお、ベースリング５８２は、当接端部５６２ａに接続されてもよい。   The base ring 582 is formed in an annular shape. The base ring 582 is fixed to a portion located in the covering portion 562 and on the side opposite to the first unit 400 side with respect to the contact end portion 562a. In the present embodiment, the covering portion 562 includes a first member 563 and a second member 564 having shapes that can be fitted in a direction parallel to the connection direction, and the base ring 582 is the first member 563. And the second member 564. The base ring 582 may be connected to the abutting end 562a.

各防塵シート５８４は、ベースリング５８２の内側に当該ベースリング５８２の周方向に沿って並ぶように配置されている。ベースリング５８２の径方向について各防塵シート５８４の外側の端部は、ベースリング５８２に接続されている。前記径方向について各防塵シート５８４の内側の端部は、自由端となっている。各防塵シート５８４は、保護部材５６０が前記保護位置に位置するときに第２コネクタ５２０の少なくとも一部を覆う閉じ姿勢（図３を参照）と、保護部材５６０が前記保護位置から前記露出位置に向かって変位するときに当該防塵シート５８４を第２コネクタ５２０が通過するのを許容するように変形する変形姿勢（図４を参照）と、を有する。本実施形態では、各防塵シート５８４は、ベースリング５８２の径方向の内側に向かうにしたがって次第に当該防塵シート５８４の周方向の寸法を小さくする形状を有する。   The respective dustproof sheets 584 are arranged inside the base ring 582 so as to be arranged along the circumferential direction of the base ring 582. The outer end of each dustproof sheet 584 in the radial direction of the base ring 582 is connected to the base ring 582. The inner end of each dustproof sheet 584 in the radial direction is a free end. Each dustproof sheet 584 has a closed position (see FIG. 3) that covers at least a part of the second connector 520 when the protective member 560 is located at the protected position, and the protective member 560 is moved from the protected position to the exposed position. And a deformed posture (see FIG. 4) that deforms to allow the second connector 520 to pass through the dustproof sheet 584 when displaced toward the surface. In the present embodiment, each dustproof sheet 584 has a shape that gradually reduces the circumferential dimension of the dustproof sheet 584 toward the inner side in the radial direction of the base ring 582.

次に、電動車両１００を駐車スタンド２００に駐車するときの充電装置３００の挙動について説明する。   Next, the behavior of the charging device 300 when the electric vehicle 100 is parked on the parking stand 200 will be described.

電動車両１００を駐車スタンド２００に駐車する前（電動車両１００の走行中等）は、弾性部材５７０の付勢力により保護部材５６０が前記保護位置に位置している。このため、第２コネクタ５２０は、被覆部５６２及び防塵部材５８０によって保護されている。また、第１支持部材４３０は、前記基準姿勢となっている。   Before the electric vehicle 100 is parked on the parking stand 200 (while the electric vehicle 100 is traveling, etc.), the protection member 560 is positioned at the protection position by the urging force of the elastic member 570. For this reason, the second connector 520 is protected by the covering portion 562 and the dustproof member 580. Further, the first support member 430 is in the reference posture.

そして、図１に示されるように、電動車両１００の前輪をレール２１０に沿って前記接続方向に進行させる。そうすると、当接端部５６２ａの外周面５６２ｂが受け部４３６の受け面４３６ａに接触する。つまり、電動車両１００の駐車時に第２コネクタ５２０が第１コネクタ４２０へ直接衝突することが回避されるので、両コネクタ４２０，５２０の破損が抑制される。また、このとき、保護部材５６０が弾性部材５７０を前記接続方向と反対方向へ押圧することによって弾性部材５７０が圧縮変形しながら保護部材５６０が前記反対方向へ変位（後退）するので、当接端部５６２ａ及び受け部４３６に作用する衝撃が緩和される。よって、当接端部５６２ａ及び受け部４３６の破損が抑制される。   And as FIG. 1 shows, the front wheel of the electric vehicle 100 is advanced along the rail 210 in the said connection direction. Then, the outer peripheral surface 562b of the contact end portion 562a comes into contact with the receiving surface 436a of the receiving portion 436. That is, since the second connector 520 is prevented from directly colliding with the first connector 420 when the electric vehicle 100 is parked, damage to both the connectors 420 and 520 is suppressed. At this time, the protective member 560 presses the elastic member 570 in the direction opposite to the connection direction, so that the protective member 560 is displaced (retracted) in the opposite direction while the elastic member 570 is compressed and deformed. The impact acting on the portion 562a and the receiving portion 436 is alleviated. Therefore, damage to the contact end portion 562a and the receiving portion 436 is suppressed.

そして、当接端部５６２ａが受け部４３６に接触した後にそのまま弾性部材５７０の弾性力に抗しながら電動車両１００を前記接続方向に進行させると、受け部４３６が当接端部５６２ａを前記接続方向と反対方向に押圧することによって保護部材５６０が前記保護位置から前記露出位置に向かって変位する。保護部材５６０が前記露出位置に至る過程において、各防塵シート５８４が第２コネクタ５２０及び保持部５５２により前記接続方向に押圧されることによって前記変形姿勢となるので、第２コネクタ５２０及び保持部５５２の各防塵シート５８４の通過が許容される。そして、保護部材５６０が前記露出位置に至ると、図４に示されるように、第２コネクタ５２０が第１コネクタ４２０に接続される。よって、本充電装置３００では、電動車両１００の駐車スタンド２００への駐車により自動的に電動車両１００のバッテリ１２０への充電を開始することができ、しかも、防塵部材５８０によって第２コネクタ５２０を有効に保護することができる。   Then, when the electric vehicle 100 is advanced in the connecting direction while resisting the elastic force of the elastic member 570 after the contact end 562a contacts the receiving portion 436, the receiving portion 436 connects the contact end 562a to the connection. By pressing in the direction opposite to the direction, the protection member 560 is displaced from the protection position toward the exposure position. In the process in which the protection member 560 reaches the exposed position, each dustproof sheet 584 is pressed in the connection direction by the second connector 520 and the holding portion 552 and thus becomes in the deformed posture, and therefore the second connector 520 and the holding portion 552. Each dustproof sheet 584 is allowed to pass. When the protective member 560 reaches the exposed position, the second connector 520 is connected to the first connector 420 as shown in FIG. Therefore, in the present charging device 300, charging of the battery 120 of the electric vehicle 100 can be automatically started by parking the electric vehicle 100 at the parking stand 200, and the second connector 520 is made effective by the dustproof member 580. Can be protected.

ここで、図１０に示されるように、両コネクタ４２０，５２０同士が前記接続方向と平行な方向に互いに重なる正規姿勢から電動車両１００が特定方向（例えば左方向）に変位した変位姿勢で駐車スタンド２００に駐車された場合について説明する。   Here, as shown in FIG. 10, the parking stand has a displacement posture in which the electric vehicle 100 is displaced in a specific direction (for example, left direction) from a normal posture in which the connectors 420 and 520 overlap each other in a direction parallel to the connection direction. A case where the vehicle is parked at 200 will be described.

電動車両１００を前記変位姿勢でレール２１０に沿って進行させると、当接端部５６２ａの外周面５６２ｂが誘導部４３８の内周面に当接するとともに当該当接端部５６２ａが受け部４３６に向かうように誘導される。このとき当接端部５６２ａ及び誘導部４３８に作用する衝撃も、弾性部材５７０によって吸収される。そして、弾性部材５７０が前記衝撃を吸収したときの当該弾性部材５７０の弾性復帰力によって当接端部５６２ａが誘導部４３８ないし受け部４３６を押圧することにより、第１支持部材４３０が前記基準姿勢から前記傾斜姿勢（図１０及び図１１を参照）となるので、両コネクタ４２０，５２０同士が互いに接続可能な姿勢に調整される。よって、当接端部５６２ａが受け部４３６に接触した後にそのまま電動車両１００をレール２１０に沿って進行させることにより、図１０及び図１１に示されるように、第２コネクタ５２０が第１コネクタ４２０に接続される。   When the electric vehicle 100 is moved along the rail 210 in the displacement posture, the outer peripheral surface 562b of the contact end portion 562a contacts the inner peripheral surface of the guide portion 438 and the contact end portion 562a faces the receiving portion 436. To be induced. At this time, the impact acting on the contact end portion 562a and the guide portion 438 is also absorbed by the elastic member 570. When the elastic member 570 absorbs the impact, the contact end 562a presses the guide portion 438 or the receiving portion 436 by the elastic return force of the elastic member 570, so that the first support member 430 is in the reference posture. Therefore, the connectors 420 and 520 are adjusted to be connectable to each other. Therefore, after the contact end portion 562a contacts the receiving portion 436, the electric vehicle 100 is moved along the rail 210 as it is, so that the second connector 520 is connected to the first connector 420 as shown in FIGS. Connected to.

以上説明したように、本充電装置３００では、電動車両１００が前記変位姿勢で駐車スタンド２００に駐車された場合におけるコネクタ同士の接続不良及び各ユニットの破損の双方を抑制することができる。   As described above, in the charging device 300, both the connection failure between the connectors and the breakage of each unit when the electric vehicle 100 is parked on the parking stand 200 in the displacement posture can be suppressed.

さらに、本実施形態では、電動車両１００が前記変位姿勢でレール２１０に沿って進行され、当接端部５６２ａの受け部４３６への接触により第１支持部材４３０が前記傾斜姿勢となったとき、保護部材５６０が受け部４３６から反力を受けることによって保持部材５５０及び保護部材５６０も傾斜する。具体的に、図１１に示されるように、保持部５５２及び保護部材５６０が被支持部５５４を支点として基部５４０に対して第２接続面５２４ａが第１接続面４２４ａと対向するように揺動する。よって、電動車両１００が前記変位姿勢で駐車スタンド２００に駐車された際のコネクタ同士の接続不良がより確実に抑制される。   Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the electric vehicle 100 is advanced along the rail 210 in the displacement posture, and the first support member 430 is in the inclined posture due to the contact of the contact end portion 562a with the receiving portion 436, When the protective member 560 receives a reaction force from the receiving portion 436, the holding member 550 and the protective member 560 are also inclined. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the holding portion 552 and the protection member 560 swing with the supported portion 554 as a fulcrum so that the second connection surface 524a faces the first connection surface 424a with respect to the base portion 540. To do. Therefore, poor connection between the connectors when the electric vehicle 100 is parked on the parking stand 200 in the displaced posture is more reliably suppressed.

また、本実施形態では、当接端部５６２ａの外周面５６２ｂが受け面４３６ａと面接触可能な形状に形成されているので、電動車両１００が駐車スタンド２００に駐車された際の当接端部５６２ａの外周面５６２ｂと受け面４３６ａとの接触面積が大きく確保される。よって、電動車両１００の駐車時に当接端部５６２ａ及び受け部４３６に作用する衝撃が低減されるので、これら当接端部５６２ａ及び受け部４３６の破損が一層抑制される。   Moreover, in this embodiment, since the outer peripheral surface 562b of the contact end portion 562a is formed in a shape that allows surface contact with the receiving surface 436a, the contact end portion when the electric vehicle 100 is parked on the parking stand 200. A large contact area is ensured between the outer peripheral surface 562b of the 562a and the receiving surface 436a. Therefore, the impact acting on the contact end portion 562a and the receiving portion 436 when the electric vehicle 100 is parked is reduced, so that the breakage of the contact end portion 562a and the receiving portion 436 is further suppressed.

なお、今回開示された上記実施形態は、すべての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本発明の範囲は、上記した実施形態の説明ではなく特許請求の範囲によって示され、さらに特許請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれる。   In addition, it should be thought that the said embodiment disclosed this time is an illustration and restrictive at no points. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above description of the embodiments but by the scope of claims for patent, and further includes all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims for patent.

例えば、第１ユニット４００が電動車両１００に固定され、第２ユニット５００が駐車スタンド２００に固定されてもよい。ただし、上記実施形態のように、第１ユニット４００が駐車スタンド２００に固定され、第２ユニット５００が電動車両１００に固定されることが好ましい。このようにすれば、第１支持部材４３０が取付部材４４０を介して電動車両１００に固定される場合に比べて、第１支持部材４３０の変位に起因する取付部材４４０の破損が抑制される。具体的に、第１支持部材４３０が取付部材４４０を介して電動車両１００に固定された場合、電動車両１００の走行中に第１支持部材４３０に対して加振力が作用するのに対し、上記実施形態のように、第１支持部材４３０が取付部材４４０を介して駐車スタンド２００に固定された場合、第１支持部材４３０に前記加振力が作用しないので、取付部材４４０に作用する負荷が低減される。   For example, the first unit 400 may be fixed to the electric vehicle 100 and the second unit 500 may be fixed to the parking stand 200. However, it is preferable that the first unit 400 is fixed to the parking stand 200 and the second unit 500 is fixed to the electric vehicle 100 as in the above embodiment. In this way, damage to the attachment member 440 due to the displacement of the first support member 430 is suppressed as compared with the case where the first support member 430 is fixed to the electric vehicle 100 via the attachment member 440.
