図６に示されることから理解されるように、実施形態の取付部４０は、施工面に取り付けられる取付部材４１と、ケース部２０や保持部１０を支持する支持部材４２と、それらをカバーするカバー部材４３で構成され、それぞれがネジなどで固定されている。実施形態の取付部材４１は平面視略コ字状であって、背面に取付穴４４を備え、ネジなどで施工面などに取付けられる。取付部材４１の側面部には、略長方形状の取付穴４５を備え、その長方形状の取付穴に紐やバンドなどを通すことで、支柱９９などにも固定することができる（図７参照）。 As can be seen from FIG. 6, the mounting portion 40 of the embodiment includes a mounting member 41 attached to the construction surface, a support member 42 supporting the case portion 20 and the holding portion 10, and a cover member 42 for supporting the case portion 20 and the holding portion 10. It is composed of cover members 43, each of which is fixed by a screw or the like. The mounting member 41 of the embodiment has a substantially U-shape in a plan view, has a mounting hole 44 on the rear surface, and is mounted on a work surface or the like with a screw or the like. A substantially rectangular mounting hole 45 is provided in the side surface of the mounting member 41, and by passing a string or band through the rectangular mounting hole, the mounting member 41 can be fixed to a post 99 or the like (see FIG. 7). .

図６に示す例の支持部材４２は前方へ延びる片４６を有し、その片４６には、ケース部２０を回動可能に支持するために用いられる支持部８１として機能するボルトが挿通される支持孔４７を有する。このように、コネクタ収納部２の上面側に支持部８１を有し、支持部８１で吊り下げ支持されるようにすることが好ましい。 The support member 42 of the example shown in FIG. 6 has a piece 46 extending forward, through which a bolt that functions as a support portion 81 used to rotatably support the case portion 20 is inserted. It has support holes 47 . In this way, it is preferable to have the support portion 81 on the upper surface side of the connector housing portion 2 so that the support portion 81 is suspended and supported.

実施形態のカバー部材４３は、組み合わされた取付部材４１と支持部材４２を覆うために、側面視略Ｌ字状となっており、背面側には、取付部材４１に通した紐やバンドを回避するための切欠き４８が設けられている。また、図６に示す例のカバー部材４３の前面側には、ケース部２０の左右方向への回転を規制するためにケース部２０と当接する凸部４９が形成されている。 The cover member 43 of the embodiment has a substantially L-shape in a side view in order to cover the combined mounting member 41 and support member 42, and has a back side that avoids a string or band passed through the mounting member 41. A notch 48 is provided for this purpose. Further, on the front side of the cover member 43 of the example shown in FIG. 6, a convex portion 49 is formed that abuts on the case portion 20 in order to restrict the rotation of the case portion 20 in the left-right direction.

実施形態のケース部２０は、左側の外形を形成する左側ケース２０１と右側の外形を形成する右側ケース２０２を備え、左側ケース２０１と右側ケース２０２は上側２点、下側１点の計３点でネジ固定されている。 The case part 20 of the embodiment includes a left side case 201 forming a left side shape and a right side case 202 forming a right side shape. is screwed in.

また、図８から図１０に示すことから理解されるように、左側ケース２０１と右側ケース２０２は、その上部側に回転部材８２を挟持する。この回転部材８２は、円盤部８３と軸部８４で構成され、円盤部８３の上面や、軸部８４の周囲には、回転部材８２を回転しやすくするための樹脂などが付されている。なお、支持部８１となるボルトを軸部８４に対して下側から挿入し、ボルトを取付部４０の支持部材４２の支持孔４７に固定することで、回転部材８２を支持し、更には、回転部材８２を挟持するケース部２０を支持する。 8 to 10, the left case 201 and the right case 202 sandwich the rotating member 82 on their upper sides. The rotating member 82 is composed of a disc portion 83 and a shaft portion 84, and the upper surface of the disc portion 83 and the periphery of the shaft portion 84 are coated with resin or the like to facilitate rotation of the rotating member 82. In addition, the rotating member 82 is supported by inserting the bolt that forms the support portion 81 from below into the shaft portion 84 and fixing the bolt to the support hole 47 of the support member 42 of the mounting portion 40. It supports the case portion 20 that clamps the rotating member 82 .

左側ケース２０１と右側ケース２０２の内側には、保持部１０の軸部１１を受ける軸受け２１が設けられる。また、左側ケース２０１と右側ケース２０２の内側には、保持部１０の回転を規制する複数の規制部が設けられている。図１０に示すことから理解されるように、ケース部２０の下部に設けられる第１規制部２２は、充電コネクタ９１が保持されていない状態で、保持部１０の開口部１２側が上方向に向けて回転することを規制する。また、図１１に示すことから理解されるように、ケース部２０の上部に設けられる第２規制部２３は、充電コネクタ９１が保持された状態で、保持部１０の開口部１２側が下方向に向けて回転することを規制する。 A bearing 21 for receiving the shaft portion 11 of the holding portion 10 is provided inside the left case 201 and the right case 202 . In addition, inside the left case 201 and the right case 202, a plurality of restricting portions that restrict the rotation of the holding portion 10 are provided. As can be understood from FIG. 10, the first restricting portion 22 provided in the lower portion of the case portion 20 is arranged such that the opening portion 12 side of the holding portion 10 faces upward when the charging connector 91 is not held. to restrict rotation. Further, as can be understood from FIG. 11 , the second restricting portion 23 provided on the upper portion of the case portion 20 is arranged such that the opening portion 12 side of the holding portion 10 faces downward when the charging connector 91 is held. Restrict turning towards.

ところで、保持部１０の上下方向への回転をスムーズに行うために、ケース部２０の軸受け２１とそれに挿入される保持部１０の軸部１１との間には隙間が設けられている。しかし、その隙間が存在することにより、保持部１０へ充電コネクタ９１を挿入する際に、保持部１０が固定されない状態となり、充電コネクタ９１を挿入しづらいという問題が生じ得る。そこで、実施形態では、充電コネクタ９１を挿入するときに、保持部１０の背面が当接し保持部１０の回転を抑制することができる凸部２４をケース部２０の内側に設けた。この凸部２４を設けることで、保持部１０へ充電コネクタ９１を挿入しやすくすることができる。なお、この凸部２４は、ケース内側の左側ケース２０１と右側ケース２０２の合わせ面付近に設けている。 By the way, a gap is provided between the bearing 21 of the case portion 20 and the shaft portion 11 of the holding portion 10 inserted therein in order to smoothly rotate the holding portion 10 in the vertical direction. However, due to the presence of the gap, when inserting charging connector 91 into holding portion 10 , holding portion 10 is not fixed, which may cause a problem of difficulty in inserting charging connector 91 . Therefore, in the embodiment, when the charging connector 91 is inserted, the convex portion 24 is provided inside the case portion 20 so that the back surface of the holding portion 10 abuts to suppress the rotation of the holding portion 10 . By providing the convex portion 24 , it is possible to facilitate the insertion of the charging connector 91 into the holding portion 10 . The convex portion 24 is provided near the mating surfaces of the left case 201 and the right case 202 inside the case.

また、左側ケース２０１及び右側ケース２０２の外側には、凸部２５が設けられている。図１２に示すように、このケースの外側に設けた凸部２５が、左右方向への回転時に取付部４０の内側の凸部４９と当接することで、左右方向へのそれ以上の回転を規制する。なお、取付部４０の内側の凸部４９を乗り越えることで、逆方向への回転を規制するものであっても良い。 A convex portion 25 is provided on the outside of the left case 201 and the right case 202 . As shown in FIG. 12, the convex portion 25 provided on the outside of the case abuts against the convex portion 49 on the inner side of the mounting portion 40 when rotating in the left-right direction, thereby restricting further rotation in the left-right direction. do. It should be noted that the rotation in the opposite direction may be restricted by getting over the convex portion 49 inside the mounting portion 40 .

図１３に示すことから理解されるように、実施形態の保持部１０は、前面側に充電コネクタ９１を挿入するための開口部１２を備え、左右両側には、ケース部２０の軸受け２１に挿入される軸部１１を有する。また、開口部１２の上方には、充電コネクタ９１の上方に設けられた爪部と嵌合し、充電コネクタ９１の脱落を防止するための嵌合部１３を有する。ここで、軸部１１は、保持部１０の開口部側の上方位置に設けられている。そうすることで、充電コネクタ９１が保持されていない状態で自重により開口部側を上方向に回転させることができる。 As can be seen from FIG. 13 , the holding part 10 of the embodiment has an opening 12 for inserting the charging connector 91 on the front side, and inserts into the bearings 21 of the case part 20 on both left and right sides. It has a shaft portion 11 that is Moreover, above the opening 12, there is a fitting portion 13 that fits into a claw portion provided above the charging connector 91 to prevent the charging connector 91 from coming off. Here, the shaft portion 11 is provided at an upper position on the opening side of the holding portion 10 . By doing so, the opening side can be rotated upward by its own weight in a state in which the charging connector 91 is not held.

図１３から図１５に示すことから理解されるように、開口部１２の後部には、スリット１４が設けられ、背面側から異物を排出することができる。また、スリット１４の上部には、挿入された充電コネクタ９１の端子部などに、水が浸入することを防ぐために、前方へ突出するリブ１５が設けられる。 As understood from FIGS. 13 to 15, a slit 14 is provided in the rear portion of the opening 12 so that foreign matter can be discharged from the rear side. In addition, a rib 15 protruding forward is provided on the upper portion of the slit 14 in order to prevent water from entering the terminal portion of the inserted charging connector 91 or the like.

図１４に示すことから理解されるように、保持部１０は背面側に突出部１６を有している。実施形態の突出部１６は上下反転した略Ｔ字状である。この突出部１６の下方の左右に延びる辺の上側の面は、ケース部２０の第２規制部２３と当接することで、充電コネクタ９１が保持された状態での保持部１０の下方向への回転を規制するものである。また、突出部１６の下方の左右に延びる辺の下側の面は、ケース部２０の第１規制部２２と当接することで、充電コネクタ９１が保持されていない状態での保持部１０の上方向への回転を規制するものである。 As can be seen from FIG. 14, the holding part 10 has a projecting part 16 on the back side. The projecting portion 16 of the embodiment has a substantially T-shape that is inverted upside down. The upper surface of the side extending in the left and right direction on the lower side of the projecting portion 16 abuts on the second restricting portion 23 of the case portion 20, thereby allowing the holding portion 10 to move downward while the charging connector 91 is held. It regulates rotation. In addition, the lower surface of the lower side of the projecting portion 16 that extends in the left and right direction contacts the first restricting portion 22 of the case portion 20, so that the upper surface of the holding portion 10 in the state in which the charging connector 91 is not held. It regulates the rotation in the direction.

上記の例では、車両用充電コネクタ保持装置１は、取付部４０とケース部２０と保持部１０を備えたものとしているが、少なくとも充電コネクタ９１を保持する保持部１０を備えたものであればよく、ケース部２０がなく、取付部４０に保持部１０が支持された構成のものであってもよい。また、取付部４０がなく、ケース部２０と保持部１０のみで構成されたものを、家屋の庇９８や、カーポートの屋根、天井に直接支持されるように取付ける構造としてもよい（図１６参照）。 In the above example, the vehicle charging connector holding device 1 includes the mounting portion 40, the case portion 20, and the holding portion 10. Alternatively, the holding portion 10 may be supported by the mounting portion 40 without the case portion 20 . Alternatively, the mounting portion 40 may be omitted, and the case portion 20 and the holding portion 10 alone may be configured to be directly supported by the eaves 98 of the house, the roof of the carport, or the ceiling (FIG. 16). reference).

ところで、コネクタ収納部２の左右方向の回転の規制と前記規制の解除の双方が可能な回転規制機構を備えたものとしても良い。このようにすれば、左右方向への回転の規制をしたい場合と、その規制を解除したい場合に対応できる。例えば、コネクタ収納部２の左右方向の回転の規制をするには、コネクタ収納部２を保持し、回転を防止若しくは規制するようにすれば良い。図１７から図２５に示す例では、支持部材４２に規制孔８８を設けた構造としている。この規制孔８８に、ケース部２０側に設けた規制ピン８９を嵌めることで、ケース部２０の回動を規制するものである。 By the way, it is also possible to provide a rotation restricting mechanism capable of both restricting the lateral rotation of the connector accommodating portion 2 and releasing the restriction. In this way, it is possible to cope with the case where it is desired to restrict the rotation in the horizontal direction and the case where the restriction is desired to be released. For example, in order to restrict the lateral rotation of the connector accommodating portion 2, the connector accommodating portion 2 may be held to prevent or restrict the rotation. In the examples shown in FIGS. 17 to 25, the support member 42 has a structure in which a regulation hole 88 is provided. Rotation of the case portion 20 is restricted by fitting a restriction pin 89 provided on the case portion 20 side into the restriction hole 88 .

実施形態では、ケース部２０には上下移動可能な規制ピン８９が備えられている。実施形態では、保持部１０に充電コネクタ９１を挿し込むことで、保持部１０の後側が上方に移動した際に、保持部１０が規制ピン８９を押し上げることができるように構成されている。この規制ピン８９が規制孔８８に嵌る状態となれば、ケース部２０の回動が規制される。つまりは、コネクタ収納部２の左右方向の回転が規制される。なお、規制ピン８９が上方に持ち上げられても規制孔８８に嵌らない場合もあるが、その状態でケース部２０を回転させれば、規制ピン８９が規制孔８８に嵌る状態とすることができる。 In the embodiment, the case portion 20 is provided with a vertically movable restricting pin 89 . In the embodiment, when the charging connector 91 is inserted into the holding portion 10 and the rear side of the holding portion 10 moves upward, the holding portion 10 can push up the regulation pin 89 . When the regulating pin 89 is fitted into the regulating hole 88, the rotation of the case portion 20 is regulated. That is, the lateral rotation of the connector accommodating portion 2 is restricted. In some cases, even if the regulating pin 89 is lifted upward, the regulating pin 89 may not fit into the regulating hole 88. However, if the case portion 20 is rotated in this state, the regulating pin 89 may fit into the regulating hole 88. can.

また、実施形態においては、保持部１０の軸部１１の後かつ下方に保持部１０の重心が位置するようにしている。このため、充電コネクタ９１を保持部１０から外せば、保持部１０の後側が下方に移動する。その結果、規制ピン８９を押し上げる力が解除されるため、規制ピン８９が規制孔８８から抜け、自動的にケース部２０の左右方向への回動の規制が解除される。このように、充電コネクタ９１が保持部１０から取り外されることにより、コネクタ収納部２の左右方向の回転の規制を解除するようにすれば、利便性を高めることができる。 Further, in the embodiment, the center of gravity of the holding portion 10 is positioned behind and below the shaft portion 11 of the holding portion 10 . Therefore, when the charging connector 91 is removed from the holding portion 10, the rear side of the holding portion 10 moves downward. As a result, the force pushing up the regulating pin 89 is released, so that the regulating pin 89 is pulled out of the regulating hole 88, and the restriction on the lateral rotation of the case portion 20 is automatically released. By removing the charging connector 91 from the holding portion 10 in this way, the restriction on the lateral rotation of the connector housing portion 2 is released, thereby enhancing the convenience.

実施形態では、規制孔８８は支持孔４７を中心に９０度ずつずれるように三つ設けているため、ケース部２０は９０度ずつずれた箇所で回転を規制することができる（図２３から図２５参照）。なお、規制孔８８の個数はさらに増やしても良いし減らしても良い。 In the embodiment, since the three regulation holes 88 are provided so as to be shifted by 90 degrees around the support hole 47, the rotation of the case portion 20 can be regulated at positions shifted by 90 degrees (Fig. 23 to Fig. 23). 25). Note that the number of regulation holes 88 may be further increased or decreased.

以上、実施形態を例に挙げて本発明について説明してきたが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されることはなく、各種の態様とすることが可能である。例えば、車両用充電コネクタ保持装置は、ケース部が左右方向、保持部が上下方向に回転するものを例に挙げているが、ケース部が上下方向、保持部が左右方向に回転するものであってもよい。 Although the present invention has been described above using the embodiments as examples, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various aspects are possible. For example, in the vehicle charging connector holding device, the case portion rotates horizontally and the holding portion rotates vertically, but the case portion rotates vertically and the holding portion rotates horizontally. may

また、ケース部と保持部の一方が（例えば、保持部のみが）、左右方向及び上下方向に回転するものであってもよい。このようにするためには、例えば、ケース部の回転部材を球体状として、左側ケースと右側ケースが挟持する構造とすればよい。これにより、取付部に対して、ケース部がさまざまな方向に回転できるようになる。 Alternatively, one of the case portion and the holding portion (for example, only the holding portion) may rotate in the left-right direction and the up-down direction. In order to do so, for example, the rotating member of the case portion may be spherical and sandwiched between the left case and the right case. This allows the case portion to rotate in various directions with respect to the mounting portion.

コネクタ収納部は、左右方向に回転した後に、ケース部の回転部材に規制部材を当接若しくは嵌合することで、回転部材が回転し辛い若しくは逆方向へ回転できないようにしても良い。また、ケース部の回転部材付近に開口を設け、ケース部を左右いずれかの方向へ回転させた後、開口から規制部材を挿入することで、回転部材と当接等するものであってもよい。 After the connector accommodating portion rotates in the left-right direction, the rotating member may be made difficult to rotate or prevented from rotating in the opposite direction by abutting or fitting the restricting member on the rotating member of the case portion. Alternatively, an opening may be provided in the case portion near the rotating member, and after rotating the case portion in either the left or right direction, the restricting member may be inserted through the opening so as to come into contact with the rotating member. .

また、規制部材を保持部に設けることもできる。保持部に充電コネクタを保持させると、保持部の開口部が下方向に回転するが、背面側は上方向に回転する。そこで、背面側の上方に規制部材を設け、保持部に充電コネクタが保持された状態で、回転部材の下面に規制部材が当接等するようにすることで、回転部材を回転し辛くすることも可能である。 Also, the regulating member can be provided on the holding portion. When the holding portion holds the charging connector, the opening of the holding portion rotates downward, but the back side rotates upward. Therefore, it is difficult to rotate the rotating member by providing a restricting member above the back side so that the restricting member comes into contact with the lower surface of the rotating member while the charging connector is held by the holding portion. is also possible.
