Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-017466 (Patent Document 1) locks by performing an operation in which a user pushes a closed lid in a state in which collation of an identification code wirelessly transmitted from an electronic key carried by the user is established. A lid lock device that switches between a state and an unlocked state is disclosed.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-017466

  However, if an operation of pushing the lid is performed in the locked state and the verification of the identification code is not established, the lid may be in a floating state in which the lid is slightly opened from the closed state in the locked state. After that, when the verification of the identification code is established, and the user performs an operation of pushing the lid again in the floating state, the lid may be closed and unlocked in some cases. For this reason, the lid cannot be closed while the locked state is maintained, and the lid operation may be complicated.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a lid lock device capable of appropriately switching between a locked state and an unlocked state of a lid according to a user operation. That is.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following, the same or corresponding parts in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will not be repeated in principle.

  Hereinafter, a case where the lid lock device according to the present embodiment is applied to a plug-in hybrid vehicle will be described as an example.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 1 includes a hybrid system 3 that uses a combination of an engine and a motor as a drive source for the drive wheels 2. The hybrid system 3 has a mode in which only the engine power is mechanically transmitted to the drive wheels 2, a mode in which power is generated by the engine power and a motor is driven, and the drive wheels 2 are directly driven by both the engine and the motor. There are various modes including a driving mode and a mode in which only the motor is used without using the engine.

  The hybrid system 3 is connected to a battery 4 that supplies electric power to the motor. The battery 4 is not only charged with electric power generated by the engine power, but also can be charged with electric power from the external power supply 91 of the vehicle 1.

  The vehicle 1 is equipped with an electronic key system 70 that enables the door to be locked and unlocked without the user actually operating the vehicle key, for example. The electronic key system 70 includes an electronic key 80 that performs wireless communication with the vehicle 1.

  The vehicle 1 is provided with a collation ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 71 that collates an ID code (identification code). The verification ECU 71 includes a memory 71 a in which an ID code is stored as a key code unique to the vehicle 1. An external LF (Low Frequency) transmitter 72, an in-vehicle LF transmitter 73, and a UHF (Ultra High Frequency) receiver 74 are connected to the verification ECU 71. The LF transmitter 72 outside the vehicle is embedded in each door of the vehicle 1 and transmits a signal in the LF band outside the vehicle. The in-vehicle LF transmitter 73 is buried under the in-vehicle floor and transmits an LF band radio signal in the vehicle. The UHF receiver 74 is embedded in the vehicle and receives a radio signal in the UHF band.

  On the other hand, the electronic key 80 is provided with a communication control unit 81. The communication control unit 81 includes a memory 81 a in which an ID code unique to the electronic key 80 is stored. The communication control unit 81 is connected to an LF reception unit 82 that receives an LF band radio signal and a UHF transmission unit 83 that transmits a UHF band radio signal in accordance with a command from the communication control unit 81.

  The verification ECU 71 forms an out-of-vehicle communication area around the vehicle 1 by intermittently transmitting an LF band request signal Srq from the out-of-vehicle LF transmitter 72. When the electronic key 80 enters the communication area outside the vehicle, the electronic key 80 receives the request signal Srq via the LF receiver 82. When the communication control unit 81 recognizes the request signal Srq received via the LF reception unit 82, the communication control unit 81 sends the UHF band ID code signal Sid including the ID code registered in its own memory 81a to the UHF transmission unit 83. Call through. When the verification ECU 71 receives the ID code signal Sid via the UHF receiver 74, the verification ECU 71 performs ID verification (external verification) between the ID code registered in its own memory 71a and the ID code included in the ID code signal Sid. When the verification outside the vehicle is established, the verification ECU 71 permits or executes locking / unlocking of the vehicle door by a door lock device (not shown).

  When the verification ECU 71 recognizes that the driver has boarded after the vehicle door is unlocked after the vehicle verification has been established and the vehicle door is unlocked, the verification ECU 71 transmits a request signal Srq from the in-vehicle LF transmitter 73 this time. An in-vehicle communication area is formed throughout. Similarly to the above, when entering the in-vehicle communication area, the electronic key 80 transmits an ID code signal Sid. When the verification ECU 71 receives the ID code signal Sid via the UHF receiver 74, the verification ECU 71 performs ID verification (in-vehicle verification) between the ID code registered in its own memory 71a and the ID code included in the ID code signal Sid. The verification ECU 71 permits the start of the hybrid system 3 when the in-vehicle verification is established.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the traveling battery 4 mounted on the vehicle 1 is charged by a plug-in charging system 90. The charging system 90 includes a power supply plug 10 that is connected to an external power source 91 such as a house or a desk lamp via a connection cable 12. The power supply plug 10 can be connected to the vehicle 1. AC power is supplied from the external power supply 91 to the vehicle 1 through the power supply plug 10. The connection cable 12 is provided with a charge switch 92 that is operated when charging is started. When the charging switch 92 is turned on or off in a state where the power supply plug 10 is connected to the vehicle 1, a signal to that effect is output to the vehicle 1 via the power supply plug 10.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a recess 22 is formed on the side surface of the vehicle 1. An inlet 31 is provided on the bottom surface of the recess 22 as a connection destination of the power supply plug 10. An unlock switch 53 and a lid lock switch 56 are provided on the side of the inlet 31 in the recess 22 so as to be pressed.

  The fender lid 21 is provided as an exterior part of the vehicle 1 and is configured to be openable and closable with respect to the recess 22. The inlet 31 is exposed to the outside with the fender lid 21 open, and the inlet 31 is concealed from the outside with the fender lid 21 closed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when the power supply plug 10 is inserted into the inlet 31, the inlet 31 and the power supply plug 10 are electrically connected. The AC power sent from the inlet 31 is converted into DC power by the converter 6, and this DC power is supplied to the battery 4.

  The vehicle 1 is also provided with a charge ECU 75 that performs control related to charging. The charging ECU 75 can communicate with the verification ECU 71 via a not-shown in-vehicle LAN (Local Area Network). The charging ECU 75 can confirm the result of ID verification in the verification ECU 71 through the communication. In addition, the charging ECU 75 can recognize that the power supply plug 10 has been inserted into the inlet 31 based on the connection state of the signal line and the like.

  Further, the inlet 31 is provided with a plug lock device 41 and a lid lock portion 50. The plug lock device 41 and the lid lock unit 50 are electrically connected to the charging ECU 75.

  The plug lock device 41 includes the unlock switch 53 and the motor 42. When a push operation is performed on unlock switch 53, an operation signal to that effect is output to charge ECU 75. The motor 42 switches the state between a locked state in which the power supply plug 10 is fixed to the state connected to the inlet 31 and an unlocked state in which the power supply plug 10 can be extracted from the inlet 31.

  The charging ECU 75 recognizes whether or not three conditions are satisfied: the power plug 10 is inserted into the inlet 31, the power plug 10 is in a locked state, and the vehicle ID verification is satisfied. When the charging ECU 75 receives a signal indicating that the charging switch 92 is turned on via the power supply plug 10 and the inlet 31 in a state where the above three conditions are satisfied, the charging ECU 75 starts power supply to the battery 4 through the control of the converter 6. .

  When the charging ECU 75 recognizes that the ID verification outside the vehicle has been established and that the unlock switch 53 has been pressed, the charging ECU 75 energizes the motor 42 and unlocks the connection state between the power supply plug 10 and the inlet 31. Switch to locked state. At this time, the charging ECU 75 stops charging the battery 4 through the control of the converter 6.

<Lid lock part>
As shown in FIG. 1, the lid lock unit 50 opens and closes and locks and unlocks the fender lid 21. When the fender lid 21 is pushed to the inside of the vehicle by the user in the closed state, the fender lid 21 is automatically opened.

  Specifically, the lid lock unit 50 includes a lid courtesy switch 52, a lid lock switch 56, and a lock actuator 54.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the push lifter 55 is installed in the recess 22 and guides the opening and closing of the fender lid 21. The push lifter 55 is formed in the recess 22 so as to protrude outward, and the state is switched between the recessed state and the protruding state.

  When the push lifter 55 is in a convex state and the tip surface of the push lifter 55 is pushed through the inner surface of the fender lid 21, the push lifter 55 is elastically deformed to the inside of the vehicle up to the push lifter switching position Ppl. When the push operation is released before the push lifter 55 reaches the push lifter switching position Ppl, the push lifter 55 returns to the convex state. When the fender lid 21 reaches the push lifter switching position Ppl, the push lifter 55 is switched to the concave state, and the concave state is maintained.

  When the push lifter 55 is in the concave state and the tip end surface is pushed through the inner surface of the fender lid 21, the push lifter 55 switches from the concave state to the convex state. Through the transition from the concave state to the convex state, the fender lid 21 is pushed outward in the vehicle. As a result, the fender lid 21 is opened from the closed state (that is, based on the closed state) by a certain amount.

  The lid courtesy switch 52 is installed inside the push lifter 55 and is connected to the charging ECU 75. The lid courtesy switch 52 is turned on when the fender lid 21 is outside the vehicle switching position Pco, and is turned off when the fender lid 21 reaches the courtesy switching position Pco. The charging ECU 75 determines that the fender lid 21 is in the open state when the lid courtesy switch 52 is in the on state, and determines that the fender lid 21 is in the closed state when the lid courtesy switch 52 is in the off state. To do. In the present embodiment, the lid courtesy switch 52 corresponds to a detection device for detecting that the fender lid 21 is in an open state or a closed state.

  When the fender lid 21 is positioned outside the vehicle from the lock switch switching position Pls, the lid lock switch 56 is turned off. Then, when the fender lid 21 is pushed toward the inside of the vehicle, the lid lock switch 56 is pushed when the position of the fender lid 21 becomes a position inside the vehicle from the lock switch switching position Pls. When the lid lock switch 56 is pressed, a signal indicating that the pressing operation has been performed is output to the charging ECU 75. In the present embodiment, the lid lock switch 56 corresponds to a detection device for detecting that a push operation has been performed on the fender lid 21.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the lock actuator 54 moves the lock pin 23 between the lock position and the unlock position under the control of the charging ECU 75. When the lock pin 23 moves to the lock position in a state where the fender lid 21 is closed, the lock pin 23 is fitted into a locking hole 24a formed in a striker 24 provided to protrude inside the vehicle of the fender lid 21. As a result, the movable range of the fender lid 21 is locked. Further, when the lock pin 23 is moved to the unlock position, the lock pin 23 is detached from the state where it is inserted into the locking hole 24 a formed in the striker 24. Thereby, the restriction | limiting of the movable range of the fender lid 21 is cancelled | released, and it will be in the unlocked state which can be open | released.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the position of the fender lid 21 is displaced between the positions P1 to P4.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a courtesy switching position Pco is set between the positions P1 and P2. A lock switch switching position Pls is set between the positions P2 and P3. Further, a push lifter switching position Ppl is set between the positions P3 and P4.

  The lid lock unit 50 and the charge ECU 75 constitute a lid lock device. The charging ECU 75 is an example of a control device, and the verification ECU 71 is an example of a verification device. Furthermore, the lock pin 23, the striker 24, and the lock actuator 54 are examples of a lock device.

<About lock conditions>
When the lock condition is satisfied, the charge ECU 75 moves the lock pin 23 to the lock position by using the lock actuator 54 to set the lid lock state of the fender lid 21 to the lock state.

  In the present embodiment, the lock condition includes, for example, a condition that the ID collation is in an established state, a condition that the lock state is unlocked, and a condition that the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the off state to the on state. .

  For example, as shown by line LN1 in FIG. 6, the lid courtesy switch 52 is in an ON state when the fender lid 21 is in the open state (position P1), and as shown in line LN3 in FIG. Assume that the state is the unlocked state and the ID verification is in the established state as indicated by the line LN4 in FIG.

  At time T (0), when the fender lid 21 is closed from the open state toward the position P2, when the courtesy switching position Pco is passed, the lid courtesy switch 52 is turned on as shown by the line LN1 in FIG. Switch from state to off state.

  When a push operation is performed in which the position of the fender lid 21 is pushed further than the position P2 and the lock switch switching position Pls is passed at time T (1), as shown in the line LN2 in FIG. The switch 56 is switched from the off state to the on state.

  In this case, the charging ECU 75 satisfies a lock condition including a condition that the ID verification is in an established state, a condition that the ID check is unlocked, and a condition that the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the off state to the on state. Is determined. Therefore, the charging ECU 75 switches the lid lock state from the unlocked state to the locked state as indicated by a line LN3 in FIG.

  When the fender lid 21 is further pushed in and the position of the fender lid 21 reaches the push lifter switching position Ppl, the push lifter 55 is switched from the convex state to the concave state. Thereafter, even when the pushing operation to the fender lid 21 is released, the concave state is maintained. As a result, the fender lid 21 is held at the position P2.

  Note that, as indicated by the line LN6 (broken line) in FIG. 6, when the ID verification is not established, the lid lock state is the unlock state at time T (1), and the lid lock switch 56 Even if is switched from the off state to the on state, it is not determined that the lock condition is satisfied. Therefore, the unlocked state is maintained as indicated by line LN5 (broken line) in FIG.

<Unlock conditions>
When the unlocking condition is satisfied, the charging ECU 75 moves the lock pin 23 to the unlocked position using the lock actuator 54, and sets the lid lock state of the fender lid 21 to the unlocked state.

  Here, the unlock condition includes, for example, a condition that the ID collation is established, a condition that the ID is locked, and a condition that the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the off state to the on state.

  Further, in this case, for example, as shown by the line LN7 in FIG. 7, the lid courtesy switch 52 is in the OFF state due to the fender lid 21 being in the closed state (position P2), as shown by the line LN9 in FIG. Furthermore, it is assumed that the lid lock state is the lock state and the ID verification is in the established state as indicated by the line LN10 in FIG.

  When a push operation is performed on the fender lid 21 at the position P2 and the position of the fender lid 21 passes the lock switch switching position Pls at time T (3), as shown by a line LN8 in FIG. The lid lock switch 56 is switched from the off state to the on state.

  In this case, the charging ECU 75 satisfies the unlocking condition including the condition that the ID verification is in the established state, the condition that the ID is in the locked state, and the condition that the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the off state to the on state. Is determined. Therefore, the charging ECU 75 switches the lid lock state from the locked state to the unlocked state.

  When the fender lid 21 is further pushed in and the position of the fender lid 21 reaches the push lifter switching position Ppl, the push lifter 55 is switched from the concave state to the convex state. The convex state is maintained. As a result, at time T (5), the elastic force of the push lifter 55 acts on the fender lid 21, and the position of the fender lid 21 exceeds the courtesy switching position Pco. As a result, the lid courtesy switch 52 is switched from the off state to the on state, as indicated by a line LN7 in FIG.

  Note that, as indicated by the line LN13 (broken line) in FIG. 7, when the ID verification is not established, the lid lock state is the locked state at time T (3), and the lid lock switch 56 is Even if the state is switched from the off state to the on state, it is not determined that the unlock condition is satisfied. Therefore, the locked state is maintained as indicated by line LN12 (broken line) in FIG.

  As described above, the lock condition and the unlock condition are set, and the lid lock state is switched to either the lock state or the unlock state depending on whether the lock condition and the unlock condition are satisfied.

  Further, as described above, when a user who does not carry the electronic key 80 performs a pressing operation on the fender lid 21, the ID collation is not established, so that the lid lock state is the lock state, Even if the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the off state to the on state, it is not determined that the unlock condition is satisfied. Therefore, the lid lock state maintains the lock state, but the fender lid 21 may be in a floating state slightly opened from the closed state.

  This is because the push lifter 55 is switched from the concave state to the convex state when the position of the fender lid 21 reaches the push lifter switching position Ppl. In this case, the elastic force of the push lifter 55 acts in the direction in which the fender lid 21 opens from the position P2 to the outside of the vehicle. At this time, since the fender lid 21 is in the locked state, the fender lid 21 is opened by the gap between the lock pin 23 and the locking hole 24a.

  Thereafter, it is assumed that the user carrying the electronic key 80 pushes the fender lid 21 in the floating state to cancel the floating state. At this time, since the ID verification is established, the lid lock state is the locked state, and the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the off state to the on state, so that the unlock condition is established, the lid lock state is established. Is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state. Therefore, the fender lid 21 cannot be closed while the locked state is maintained, and the operation of the fender lid 21 may be complicated.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, charging ECU 75 performs the pressing operation when it is detected that the ID verification has been established, the lid lock state is the locked state, and the pressing operation has been performed. When the lid lock state is in the locked state at the second time point that is a predetermined time before the first time point and the fender lid 21 is in the open state, the lock state is maintained. That is, in the present embodiment, the second time point is determined based on the condition that the above-described ID collation is established, the condition that the ID is locked, and the condition that the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the off state to the on state. An unlocking condition is defined by adding a condition that the fender lid 21 is closed.

  In this case, for example, even if the ID verification is not established and the lid lock state is in the locked state and the fender lid 21 is in the floating state, the locked state is maintained for the subsequent operation of the fender lid 21. can do. Therefore, the fender lid 21 can be closed while the locked state is maintained.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 8, a control process executed by charge ECU 75 which is a control device of the lid lock device according to the present embodiment will be described.

  In step (hereinafter, step is referred to as S) 100, charge ECU 75 determines whether or not the lid lock state is the lock state. For example, the charge ECU 75 determines whether or not the lid lock state is the lock state based on the state of the flag that is set to the on state every time the lock actuator 54 is driven so that the lid lock state becomes the lock state. May be. If it is determined that the lid lock state is the lock state (YES in S100), the process proceeds to S102.

  In S102, charge ECU 75 determines whether or not lid lock switch 56 has been switched from the off state to the on state. If it is determined that lid lock switch 56 has been switched from the off state to the on state (YES in S102), the process proceeds to S104.

  In S104, the charging ECU 75 determines whether or not the lid courtesy switch 52 is in an off state (ie, the fender lid 21) at a time point (second time point) that is a predetermined time Ta before the current time point (first time point). Whether or not is in a closed state). For example, the charging ECU 75 stores the history of the lid courtesy switch 52 up to a predetermined time Ta before the current time in a storage area such as a memory. When executing the process of S104, the charging ECU 75 reads information indicating the state of the lid courtesy switch 52 at a time before a predetermined time Ta from the current time from the storage area.

  If it is determined at the second time point that lid courtesy switch 52 is in the OFF state (YES in S104), the process proceeds to S106.

  In S106, charging ECU 75 determines whether or not ID verification is in an established state. If it is determined that the ID verification is in an established state (YES in S106), the process proceeds to S108. In S108, charge ECU 75 switches the lid lock state to the unlock state.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the lid lock state is not the lock state (NO in S100), or even if the lid lock state is the lock state (YES in S100), the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the off state to the on state. If not changed (NO in S102), this process ends.

  Further, when it is determined at the second time point that the lid courtesy switch 52 is in the ON state (that is, the fender lid 21 is in the open state) (NO at S104), or at the second time point, the lid courtesy switch Even if 52 is determined to be in the off state (YES in S104), the lock state is maintained if ID verification is not established (NO in S106).

  The operation of charge ECU 75, which is the control device for the lid lock device according to the present embodiment based on the above-described structure and flowchart, will be described with reference to FIGS.

<When the ID verification shifts from the unsatisfied state to the established state>
For example, as shown by the line LN14 in FIG. 9, the lid courtesy switch 52 is in the OFF state, and as shown in the line LN15 in FIG. 9, the lid lock switch 56 is in the OFF state, and the line in FIG. Assume that the lid lock state is the lock state as indicated by LN16 and the ID verification is not established as indicated by the line LN17 in FIG.

  At time T (11), when the fender lid 21 is pushed in from the position P2 of FIG. 4 by the user who does not carry the electronic key 80, for example, when the lid lock switch switching position Pls is located inside the vehicle, the lid lock switch 56 switches from the off state to the on state.

  If the lid lock state is the lock state (YES in S100) and the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the OFF state to the ON state (YES in S102), the time T (T) that is a predetermined time Ta before the present time. 10), it is determined whether or not the lid courtesy switch 52 is in the OFF state (S104). Even if it is determined that lid courtesy switch 52 is in the OFF state (YES in S104), since the ID verification is not established (NO in S106), the locked state of the lid lock state is maintained (S110).

  When the fender lid 21 is further pushed in and reaches the push lifter switching position Ppl, the push lifter 55 is switched from the concave state to the convex state. When the push lifter 55 is switched to the convex state, an elastic force due to the push lifter 55 attempting to restore the convex state acts on the fender lid 21. As a result, the position of the fender lid 21 is closer to the position P2 than the lid lock switch switching position Pls, so that the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the on state to the off state at time T (12). The position of the fender lid 21 is changed to the open state side by the elastic force of the push lifter 55, and the lock pin 23 is a position corresponding to the locked state, so that the position is opened from the position P2 in FIG. (That is, the floating state of the fender lid 21).

  Therefore, at time T (13), the position of the fender lid 21 is on the open state side of the courtesy switching position Pco. As a result, the lid courtesy switch 52 is switched from the off state to the on state.

  At time T (14), after the user carrying the electronic key approaches the vehicle and the ID verification is changed from the unestablished state to the established state, the user performs a push operation on the fender lid 21 in the floating state. Assume a case.

  At time T (16), when the position of the fender lid 21 is closer to the closed state side than the courtesy switching position Pco, the lid courtesy switch 52 is switched from the on state to the off state. When the fender lid 21 is further pushed in, the position of the fender lid 21 exceeds the position P2, and at time T (17), when the lid lock switch switching position Pls is inside the vehicle, the lid lock switch 56 is Switch from off to on.

  When the lid lock state is the lock state (YES in S100), the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the OFF state to the ON state (YES in S102), and the time T (15) before the predetermined time Ta from the present time. ), The lid courtesy switch 52 is in the on state (NO in S104), and the locked state is maintained (S110). Therefore, as shown by the line LN18 (broken line) in FIG. 9, the unlock state is suppressed.

  When the fender lid 21 is further pushed in and reaches the push lifter switching position Ppl, the push lifter 55 is switched from the convex state to the concave state. Since the lid lock state is the lock state, the position of the fender lid 21 is limited to a predetermined movable range by the lock pin 23. After that, when the user's pushing operation is released, the position of the fender lid 21 is located on the position P2 side with respect to the lid lock switch switching position Pls. Switch to

In (10), it is determined whether or not the lid courtesy switch 52 is in an OFF state (S104). Since lid courtesy switch 52 is determined to be in the off state (YES in S104) and ID verification is in the established state (YES in S106), the lid lock state is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state. (S108).

  When the fender lid 21 is further pushed in and reaches the push lifter switching position Ppl, the push lifter 55 is switched from the concave state to the convex state. When the push lifter 55 is switched to the convex state, an elastic force due to the push lifter 55 attempting to restore the convex state acts on the fender lid 21. As a result, the position of the fender lid 21 is closer to the position P2 than the lid lock switch switching position Pls, so that the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the on state to the off state at time T ′ (12). The position of the fender lid 21 is changed to the open state side by the elastic force of the push lifter 55. Since the lid lock state is an unlock state, the position of the fender lid 21 is not limited by the lock pin 23. Therefore, when the position of the fender lid 21 becomes the open state side with respect to the courtesy switching position Pco at time T ′ (13), the lid courtesy switch 52 is switched from the off state to the on state.

  When the user closes the open fender lid 21 and the position of the fender lid 21 becomes closer to the closed state than the courtesy switching position Pco at time T ′ (15), the lid courtesy switch 52 is switched from the on state to the off state. Switch to Then, when the fender lid 21 is further pushed in, the position of the fender lid 21 exceeds the position P2 and at the time T ′ (16), the lid lock switch 56 is located inside the lid lock switch switching position Pls. Switches from off to on.

  The lock condition is established when the ID verification is established, the lid lock state is unlocked, and the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the off state to the on state. Therefore, as indicated by the line LN21 in FIG. 10, the lid lock state is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state at time T ′ (15).

  When the fender lid 21 is further pushed in and reaches the push lifter switching position Ppl, the push lifter 55 is switched from the convex state to the concave state. Since the lid lock state is the lock state, the position of the fender lid 21 is limited to a predetermined range by the lock pin 23. Thereafter, the push operation by the user is released, so that the position of the fender lid 21 is closer to the position P2 than the lid lock switch switching position Pls. Therefore, at time T ′ (17), the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the ON state. Switch to off state.

  As described above, according to the lid lock device according to the present embodiment, for example, when the ID verification is not established and the lid lock state is in the locked state, the fender lid 21 is in the open state (floating state). Even when the fender lid 21 is closed and the lid lock switch 56 is switched from the off state to the on state, the locked state can be maintained. Therefore, the floating fender lid 21 can be closed while the locked state is maintained. Therefore, it is possible to provide a lid lock device that can appropriately switch between a locked state and an unlocked state of the lid in accordance with a user operation.

Hereinafter, modifications will be described.
In the above-described embodiment, the fender lid 21 has been described on the assumption that it is a lid of a power feeding port. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this.
