Reference numeral 16 denotes a foreign matter removing member for wiping off foreign matter attached to the charging cable 8. This foreign matter removing member 16
Is formed of felt fibers in this example, and
As shown in, the charging cable 8 is fixed inside the case of the charging port 10 in a penetrating state. The foreign matter removing member 16 has a through hole 16a into which the charging cable 8 is press fitted,
A slit 16b for pushing the charging cable 8 is formed in the through hole 16a.

Will be wiped off the wall surface of the hole.
Therefore, even if the charging cable 8 is extended above the ground, it is possible to prevent dirt and water from entering the cord reel 3 together with the charging cable 8 during storage. The foreign matter removing member 16 may be made of a resin brush instead of being made of felt fiber.

２外へ放散される。The heat generated by the electric equipment of the circuit board 4 when it is charged is generated from the portion inside the board holding member 5 in the charger housing 2 as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2 by the convection of air. , Is transmitted to the outside of the substrate holding member 5 through the U-shaped open end side. That is, this heat is applied to the substrate holding member 5
Between each side plate 5a and the side wall of the charger housing 2, and to the rear side space of the substrate holding member 5 (this space is shown by reference symbol S in FIG. 2), and from there, through the ventilation hole 14, the charger. It is dissipated outside the housing 2.

Infiltrate inside. However, the vent hole 14 is formed in the substrate holding member 5.
Since it is formed on the outer side, the invading rainwater flows to the inner bottom surface of the lower case 6 without wetting the circuit board 4. Then, the water flows out of the charger housing 2 from the drain port 17 opened in the lower case 6. That is, the board holding member 5 blocks rainwater that has entered the charger housing 2 from the ventilation holes 14 from splashing on the circuit board 4.
【００２４】したがって、熱放散性を損なうことなく回
路基板４の防水を図ることができる。Therefore, the circuit board 4 can be waterproofed without impairing the heat dissipation.

２が傾き難い。When the cord reel 3 is arranged at the bottom of the charger housing 2 as shown in this embodiment, the cord reel 3 does not block the convection of the air generated above the circuit board 4 and the heat is efficiently dissipated. You can do it well. In addition, since the working point is lowered when the charging cable 8 is pulled out, the charger housing 2 is difficult to tilt.

Although an example in which it is formed in b and 7b is also shown, this vent hole 14
Is not necessarily provided on both side walls as long as it is provided on the upper plate 7a of the upper case 7.

にかかるのを基板保持部材が遮る。As described above, in the outdoor charger according to the present invention, the circuit board connected to the power source is arranged in the inner space of the board holding member having a U-shape in plan view. Is housed in the charger housing with its U-shaped open end separated from the housing wall surface, and a large number of vent holes are provided in the upper plate of the charger housing outside the substrate holding member. Since the holes are provided, the heat generated by the electric device of the circuit board is transmitted from the open end of the board holding member to the outside of the board holding member in the charger housing, and is dissipated to the outside of the housing through the ventilation hole of the upper plate. Further, the board holding member blocks rainwater that has entered the charger housing through the ventilation holes from splashing on the circuit board.
