Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a charging device, and more specifically, to a charging device suitable for a battery storage body that is detachably attached to an electronic device such as a portable radio.

Most of this type of charging device is large enough to fit into the case of an electronic device, has a recess in the bottom wall in which a power supply terminal is provided, and the battery storage body is inserted into the device case. It is configured so that it can be charged even when it is attached to the battery, or even when the battery housing is alone. By the way, when the battery holder is removed from the device housing and charged separately, there is a risk that the battery holder may tilt or fall inside the recess. I try to insert an adapter of an appropriate size. However, according to this method, the adapter must be attached to and detached from the recess each time depending on whether or not the battery housing is attached to the device housing, which is cumbersome to operate. Additionally, there is a risk that the adapter may be lost.

This idea was created in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology, and its purpose is to provide an easy-to-handle adapter that prevents the battery container from tilting or falling when it is removed from the device housing and charged separately. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a charging device with improved performance.

Hereinafter, this invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

First, with reference to FIG. 1, the battery housing to be charged by this charging device will be briefly described. This battery storage body 1 includes, for example, a portable radio device 2.
It is designed to be detachably attached to a notch 3 formed on one side of the holder. That is, the battery housing 1 and the radio device 2 each have male sliding guide surfaces 4, 4 that cooperate with each other to form a dovetail joint.
and female sliding guide surfaces 5,5 are provided,
The battery storage body 1 has these guide surfaces 4, 4, 5,
5, it is attached into the cutout 3 from the bottom side of the radio 2. In this case, the battery storage body 1 is designed to complement a part of the external shape of the radio device 2, and a pair of charging terminals 6, 6 are provided on the bottom surface of the battery storage body 1. A power output terminal (not shown) corresponding to the power input terminals 7, 7 provided on the radio device 2 side is arranged on the top surface. Note that reference numeral 8 is a locking piece for preventing the battery housing 1 from falling off.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, this charging device includes a housing 10 having a recess 11 formed in a size that allows the radio 2 to be inserted therein. A battery storage body 1 is placed on the bottom wall of the recess 11.
A power supply terminal 12 is provided at a position where it can come into contact with the charging terminal 6 of the battery housing 1 when the radio device 2 to which the battery housing 1 is attached is inserted. Therefore, by inserting the radio device 2 into the recess 11, the charging terminal 6 of the battery storage body 1 attached thereto and the power supply terminal 12 automatically come into contact with each other, and the state becomes ready for charging. However, even in the case of the battery housing 1 alone, it can be charged by placing the charging terminal 6 on the power supply terminal 12. In this invention, when the battery housing 1 is charged alone as described above, an adapter 15 is provided to prevent the battery housing 1 from tilting or falling down.
It is equipped with As illustrated in FIG.
6 and an operation plate 17 that is connected to the upper end of the control panel 6 so as to be bent at a substantially right angle. In this case, operation panel 1
Both sides 18, 18 of the housing 10 are formed to be one step lower, and the upper wall of the housing 10 has the recess 11, as shown in FIG.
An adapter attachment recess 19 is provided which is connected to the operation plate 17 and is formed in a size that allows the operation plate 17 to be slidably received therein. Both sides 1
Guide grooves 20, 2 that slidably guide 8, 18
0 is formed (see Figure 6). Further, a holding plate 1 of the adapter 15 is attached to the side wall of the recess 11.
A notch 21 is formed for storing the adapter 15 in a non-use position, and a stopper 22 protrudes from the bottom of the recess 11 to abut against the lower end of the holding plate 16 to position the adapter 15 in a used state. (See Figure 3).

In the configuration described above, the adapter 15 is slidably mounted in the adapter mounting recess 19 so that both sides 18, 18 of the adapter 15 are inserted into the guide grooves 20, 20. Then, place the battery storage body 1 into the radio device 2.
When charging while attached to the operation panel 17
is slid to the rear of the adapter mounting recess 19, and the holding plate 16 is housed in the notch 21 so as not to interfere with the insertion of the radio device 2. That is,
In this state, the press plate 16 constitutes a part of the side wall of the recess 11. On the other hand, when removing the battery housing 1 from the radio 2 and charging it separately, slide the presser plate 16 via the operation panel 17 to the position shown by the imaginary line in FIGS. 2 and 3. When the battery housing 1 is inserted between the plate 16 and the side wall of the recess 11 facing the plate 16, the battery housing 1 is maintained in an almost upright state without tilting or falling down.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG.
3 and a hemispherical engagement recess 24 that engages with this while generating an appropriate click force to hold the adapter 15 in the non-use position and the use position. Further, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the guide grooves 20, 20 are opened, and the operation plate 17 is
Hook-shaped flanges 26, 26 that engage with the open end edges 25, 25 may be provided on both sides of the adapter 15. According to this, the adapter 15 can be slid in the horizontal direction in the drawing without rattling. .

As is clear from the description of the embodiments described above, according to this invention, by simply sliding the adapter 15, the battery holder can be attached to the radio set or the battery holder alone. It is very convenient to deal with.
