Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily fit housings to each other. SOLUTION: A male housing 1 mounted in a charge port in a vehicle, which has a cylindrical hood 4 formed on the front face of a mainbody 3, is fittable to a female housing 2 provided at the front end of a charge coupler which can be operated by being held by a hand. The hood 4 of the male housing 1 is formed, having its leading edge on the lower side gradually protruded forward, and a swollen portion 10 is formed. During charging operation, the swollen portion 10 is viewed from the top and the leading edge of the female housing 2 is permitted to hit the swollen portion 10 from the top. Then, the female housing 2 is pushed to the side of the male housing 1 while being directionally changed to be concentrical with the male housing 1 to regularly fit both housings 1, 2 to each other.

2. Description of the Related Art For example, the structure of a charging connector in an electric vehicle is such that a male housing on the vehicle side connected to a battery is fixedly provided on a body or the like, while a female housing is provided on a charging coupler drawn from a power supply. When the female housing is fitted in the hood of the male housing, the terminal fittings housed in the respective housings are connected to each other to perform charging. By the way, in the case of the charging connector, since the male housing on the vehicle side is fixed at a predetermined position, it is not possible to pick up both housings and perform the fitting operation in front of the eyes, so that the user is away from the eyes. In order to position and fit the female housing on the power supply side to the opening edge of the hood of the male housing at the position, it takes considerable time and effort. Especially for charging connectors,
Because of the frequent insertion and removal, it is important to determine whether the fitting operation can be easily performed.

[0003] Therefore, in order to facilitate the fitting operation of the two housings, those disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 9-161884 and 9-161898 have been proposed. This is achieved by providing a tapered projection at a part of the tip edge of the female housing provided on the charging coupler side, and first applying the projection to the inside of the opening edge of the hood opening of the male housing on the fixed side. By pushing in the housings, the two housings are pushed in while being aligned.

However, since the charging coupler is handled and held by an operator, it may be accidentally dropped. In this case, the conventional housing has a structure in which a protrusion is provided in a tapered shape at a part of the leading edge of the female housing, which is a portion having poor strength. There is a problem that there is a possibility of causing breakage or damage. The present invention has been completed based on the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to easily perform a fitting operation between housings without lowering the strength of a housing to be operated by hand. There is a place to do it.
