Description
【0001】[0001]
本考案は、乾電池や蓄電池が放電や充電を行なうために装着される電池収容体 に関する。 The present invention relates to a battery container to which a dry battery or a storage battery is attached for discharging and charging.
【0002】[0002]
家庭用懐中電燈から携帯用ラジオカセット等の電気機器装置に用いられ、手軽 に扱える直流電源として、乾電池が普及している。乾電池は、マンガン乾電池や アルカリ乾電池等、いわゆる単一乃至単五と呼ばれる規格、形状のものが種々そ の電気容量に応じて用意されており、これらは共通して円柱状をなす本体の一端 に突状の正電極部、他端に平面状の負電極部を有する形状となっている。また、 こうした乾電池に対応した形状を有し、充電により何回も繰り返し使用できるニ ッケル・カドミウム蓄電池等が広く普及している。 Dry batteries are widely used as an easy-to-use DC power source for household appliances such as flashlights and portable radio cassettes. There are various types of dry batteries, such as manganese dry batteries and alkaline dry batteries, which have so-called single to single-sized specifications and shapes according to their electric capacities, and these are commonly attached to one end of a cylindrical body. It has a shape having a protruding positive electrode portion and a flat negative electrode portion at the other end. In addition, nickel-cadmium storage batteries, etc., which have a shape compatible with such dry batteries and can be used repeatedly many times by charging, are widely used.
【0003】 このような電池は、装置に接続され、又は装置に一体的に設けられた電池ホル ダーや電池ケース等の電池収容体へ装着される。そして、電池収容体に設けられ た端子電極部を通じて、通電のやりとりが行なわれる。すなわち、電池は電気負 荷への放電や電源等から充電される。また、電池収容体には、電池に極性を有す るため、通常、正、負電極の装着されるべき極性表示が設けられている。Such a battery is connected to the device or mounted in a battery container such as a battery holder or a battery case provided integrally with the device. Then, electricity is exchanged through the terminal electrode portion provided in the battery container. That is, the battery is discharged from an electric load or charged from a power source or the like. In addition, since the battery has a polarity, the battery container is usually provided with a polarity display to which the positive and negative electrodes should be attached.
【0004】[0004]
万一、誤って電池を正、負電極を逆に装着して接続すると、装置を破損したり 、電池の劣化を招くこととなる。このような場合、電池の逆接続を行なっても、 未然に防止するために保護回路が内蔵又は接続された電池収容体もあるが、高価 であり、しかも取付が煩雑で所要スペースも要する。一般に、電池が用いられる ような装置の電池収容体は、安価に設定されているため、せいぜい上記の極性表 示上で注意を喚起するに留まっている。このように何等かの解決策が待ち望まれ ていた。 If the battery is accidentally attached with the positive and negative electrodes reversed, the device may be damaged or the battery may deteriorate. In such a case, there is a battery housing body in which a protection circuit is built in or connected to prevent the reverse connection of the battery even if the battery is reversely connected, but it is expensive, and the mounting is complicated and a required space is required. In general, the battery housing of the device in which the battery is used is set at a low price, and therefore, the attention is paid to the above polarity display at the most. In this way, some kind of solution has been eagerly awaited.
【0005】 本考案は、上記事実に鑑みなされたものであって、その課題とするところは、 万一、電池が正、負電極部が逆に装着されて接続されても、装置への破損や電池 の劣化を確実に防止することが可能であり、しかも安価に構成することができる 電池収容体を提供することである。The present invention has been made in view of the above facts, and its problem is that even if the battery is connected with the positive and negative electrode parts mounted reversely, the device is damaged. It is an object of the present invention to provide a battery container which can surely prevent deterioration of a battery and a battery and can be configured at low cost.
【0006】[0006]
上記課題を達成するために、本考案の電池収容体では、円柱状をなす本体の一 端に突状の正電極部、他端に平面状の負電極部を有する電池、該電池が放電また は充電されるために装着される電池収容体であって、前記電池の正電極部が装着 される対応部位には、絶縁材料により形成されると共に、端子電極部の少なくと も一部を包囲するように設けられた突状部を有しており、該突状部は、前記端子 電極部の外端面から該突状部までの高さを、前記電池の正電極部の高さ寸法より 小さく設定してあり、さらに該突状部は、前記電池の装着方向に対して半径方向 内方へ少なくとも規定される部位の直径が、前記電池の外形寸法により規定され る直径寸法よりも小さく設定して形成されたものとしている。 In order to achieve the above object, in a battery housing of the present invention, a battery having a cylindrical positive electrode part at one end and a planar negative electrode part at the other end, and a battery having a discharge or Is a battery accommodating body that is mounted for charging, and is formed of an insulating material at the corresponding portion where the positive electrode part of the battery is mounted and surrounds at least a part of the terminal electrode part. The protrusion has a height from the outer end surface of the terminal electrode portion to the protrusion that is greater than the height of the positive electrode portion of the battery. The protrusion is set to have a small diameter, and the diameter of at least a portion defined inward in the radial direction with respect to the battery mounting direction is smaller than the diameter dimension defined by the outer dimensions of the battery. It is assumed that it was formed.
【0007】[0007]
電池の正電極部が装着されるべき電池収容体の対応部位では、電池の正電極部 が端子電極部に接触して通電される。この場合、突状部は端子電極部に対して障 害となることなく少なくとも一部を包囲しており、また、突状部は電池の正電極 部の高さ寸法よりも小さく設定されているため、電池は何等問題なく容易に装着 することができる。ところが、電池が逆に装着された場合、突状部は電池の装着 方向に対して半径方向内方へ少なくとも規定される部位の直径が、電池の外形寸 法により規定される直径寸法よりも小さい。このため、電池の負電極部は突状部 に当接することになり、これにより位置制限される。従って、突状部の内側にあ る端子電極部までは至らない。すなわち、負電極部は端子電極部へは接触せず、 電池は電池収容体に通電されない。 At the corresponding portion of the battery housing to which the positive electrode portion of the battery is to be attached, the positive electrode portion of the battery contacts the terminal electrode portion and is energized. In this case, the projecting part surrounds at least a part without hindering the terminal electrode part, and the projecting part is set smaller than the height dimension of the positive electrode part of the battery. Therefore, the battery can be easily installed without any problem. However, when the battery is installed in reverse, the diameter of the protrusion is at least defined inward in the radial direction with respect to the battery installation direction, and the diameter is smaller than the diameter specified by the external dimensions of the battery. .. Therefore, the negative electrode portion of the battery comes into contact with the protruding portion, which limits the position. Therefore, it does not reach the terminal electrode portion inside the protrusion. That is, the negative electrode portion does not contact the terminal electrode portion, and the battery is not energized in the battery container.

本考案に従う電池収容体の1実施例について、図1乃至図4を参照しつつ説明 する。図1は、単三電池と同じ形状を有する蓄電池を6本充電するバッテリーチ ャージャであり、(a)はその平面図、(b)は正面図、また(c)はY−Yの 断面図である。なお、(c)における断面図の詳細は省略してある。このバッテ リーチャージャ1は、例えば、ABS樹脂等の樹脂成形された上蓋体3と下蓋体 4とがはめ合わされて構成されている。そして上蓋体3には、電池収容体2が一 体に形成されている。 An embodiment of a battery container according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. 1 is a battery charger for charging six storage batteries having the same shape as an AA battery, (a) is a plan view, (b) is a front view, and (c) is a cross-sectional view taken along line YY. Is. The details of the sectional view in (c) are omitted. The battery charger 1 is constructed by fitting a resin-molded upper lid 3 and a lower lid 4 made of, for example, ABS resin. The battery housing 2 is integrally formed on the upper lid 3.
【0009】 図示省略の部位20には、交流電源を所定の直流電圧に変換する変換手段が設 けられており、出力電圧は電池収容体2の端子電極群21に接続される。図2は 電池収容体2の一部を拡大して斜め上からみた図である。図2に示すように蓄電 池5(以後電池と呼ぶ)は、図の左側に正電極部8が、また図の右側に負電極部 9が向くようにし、これに対応した方向に電池収容体の端子電極部6、7が設定 してある。A conversion means for converting an AC power source into a predetermined DC voltage is provided in a portion 20 (not shown), and the output voltage is connected to the terminal electrode group 21 of the battery housing 2. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a part of the battery container 2 as seen obliquely from above. As shown in FIG. 2, the storage battery 5 (hereinafter referred to as a battery) has a positive electrode portion 8 on the left side of the drawing and a negative electrode portion 9 on the right side of the drawing, and the battery housing is oriented in the corresponding direction. The terminal electrode portions 6 and 7 are set.
【0010】 電池5の正電極部8に対応した正の端子電極部6は、例えば、黄銅等の導電性 鋼板を所定形状に打ち抜き形成され、略中央部を電池側へ僅かに突出するように 端子突部15が設けられており、ニッケルメッキ処理が施されている。正の端子 電極部6は、上蓋体3と一体に成形されたフレーム部32と、同じくその両側に 成形された突状部11、11とに介在して嵌め込まれている。加えて、突状部1 1の鍔部31とフレーム部32とに挟み込まれ、これらにより正の端子電極部6 は位置決めされて保持固定される。なお図示を省略してあるが、正の端子電極部 6の下側には電気接続のためのリード線がハンダ付けされている。The positive terminal electrode portion 6 corresponding to the positive electrode portion 8 of the battery 5 is formed by punching out a conductive steel plate such as brass in a predetermined shape so that a substantially central portion thereof slightly protrudes toward the battery side. The terminal protrusions 15 are provided and nickel-plated. The positive terminal electrode portion 6 is fitted into the frame portion 32 integrally formed with the upper lid body 3 and the protruding portions 11 and 11 also formed on both sides thereof. In addition, the positive terminal electrode portion 6 is positioned, held and fixed by the flange portion 31 of the protrusion 11 and the frame portion 32. Although not shown, a lead wire for electrical connection is soldered to the lower side of the positive terminal electrode portion 6.
【0011】 一方、電池5の負電極部9に対応した負の端子電極部7は、導電性鋼板にバネ 材が加締められて一体的に形成されており、上記と同様に上蓋体3、フレーム部 32、そして両側に設けられた突状部12、12により介在して嵌め込まれ、保 持固定されている。また、図示省略のリード線により電気接続されている。On the other hand, the negative terminal electrode portion 7 corresponding to the negative electrode portion 9 of the battery 5 is integrally formed by crimping a spring material on a conductive steel plate, and similarly to the above, the upper lid body 3, The frame portion 32 and the projecting portions 12, 12 provided on both sides interpose and are fitted and fixedly held. Further, they are electrically connected by lead wires (not shown).
【0012】 図3は、図2の電池収容体2を拡大して上方向から見た平面図である。そして 、図3の(a)は、電池5を所定の向きに装着した状態を、また(b)は、電池 5を逆に装着した状態を示している。図3において、突状部11は、正の端子電 極部6の端子突部15(すなわち外端面)から、突状部11の端部までの高さ寸 法tが、電池5の正電極部8の高さ寸法Tよりも小さく設定してある。そのため 、図の(a)に示すように、正電極部8は正の端子電極部6に接触して導電され る。また、負電極部9もバネ材10に接触して負の端子電極部7に導電される。FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view of the battery container 2 of FIG. 2 as seen from above. 3A shows a state in which the battery 5 is mounted in a predetermined direction, and FIG. 3B shows a state in which the battery 5 is mounted in reverse. In FIG. 3, the protrusion 11 has a height t from the terminal protrusion 15 (that is, the outer end surface) of the positive terminal electrode portion 6 to the end of the protrusion 11 and is a positive electrode of the battery 5. It is set smaller than the height dimension T of the portion 8. Therefore, as shown in (a) of the figure, the positive electrode portion 8 is brought into contact with the positive terminal electrode portion 6 to be electrically conductive. Further, the negative electrode portion 9 also comes into contact with the spring material 10 and is electrically conductive to the negative terminal electrode portion 7.
【0013】 しかし、電池5を逆に装着すると、図の(b)に示すように突状部11、11 により、電池5の平面状の負電極部9が位置制限される。これは、正の端子電極 部6が包囲されて規定される直径寸法L、このLが、電池5の外形寸法により規 定される直径寸法Dよりも小さく設定されているためである。従って負電極部9 と正の端子電極部6とは接触せず、逆に電池5を装着した際の事故を未然に防止 することができる。However, when the battery 5 is mounted in reverse, the position of the planar negative electrode portion 9 of the battery 5 is limited by the protrusions 11 and 11 as shown in FIG. This is because the diameter dimension L defined by surrounding the positive terminal electrode portion 6 is set to be smaller than the diameter dimension D defined by the outer dimension of the battery 5. Therefore, the negative electrode portion 9 and the positive terminal electrode portion 6 do not come into contact with each other, and conversely, it is possible to prevent an accident when the battery 5 is attached.
【0014】 図4は、図1乃至図3に示した突状部11について、他の実施例を示したもの である。(a)、(b)とも高さ寸法tが、電池5の正電極部8の高さ寸法Tよ りも小さく設定してあると共に、直径寸法Lが電池5の直径寸法Dよりも小さく 設定して形成されている。このため、前述に示した同様の作用が得られる。 以上、本考案に従う電池収容体の1実施例について説明したが、本考案はかか る実施例に限定されるものでなく、本考案の範囲を逸脱することなく種々の変形 乃至修正が可能である。FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the protrusion 11 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. In both (a) and (b), the height t is set smaller than the height T of the positive electrode portion 8 of the battery 5, and the diameter L is set smaller than the diameter D of the battery 5. Is formed. Therefore, the same effect as described above can be obtained. Although one embodiment of the battery housing according to the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and various modifications and corrections can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. is there.
