JP 2010-115037 A

When charging an electric vehicle, a charge control box in which a control circuit (CCID: Charge Circuit Interrupt Device, etc.) that performs charge control is incorporated is required. It is preferable that the charge control box is disposed at a position as close to the power supply side connector as possible in the charging path from the power supply side connector to the electric vehicle due to restrictions on specifications.

On the other hand, since the accommodation device described in Patent Document 1 does not consider the limitation on the specifications, there is a problem as the accommodation device that accommodates the charging cable for the electric vehicle.
It is preferable to provide a storage device that is more suitable for storing a charging cable for an electric vehicle.

The present invention is a storage device, a charge control box (3A) incorporating a control circuit for performing charge control, a terminal connector (3D) connected to the power supply side, a terminal connector (3D) and a charge control box (3A). And a charging cable (3) for an electric vehicle having a terminal side cable (3B) connecting the charging control box (3A) and the winding side cable (3C) connecting the electric vehicle side. A rotatable rotating drum (11) for winding the winding side cable (3C), a fixing portion (11F) for fixing the charge control box (3A) provided on the rotating drum (11), and a rotation The drum (11) is provided on the same side as the fixed portion (11F), and includes a connector portion (13) for connecting the terminal connector (3D) to the power source side. The connector portion (13) is a rotating drum ( 1) is provided at a position shifted in a direction perpendicular to the rotation center axis (L1) with respect to the rotation center axis (L1), and the fixed portion (11F) is the volume center ( Vg) is disposed so as to be positioned on the rotation center axis (L1).

By the way, since the mass of the charge control box (3A) is relatively large, if the charge control box (3A) is fixed to the rotating drum (11), the center of gravity of the charge control box (3A) becomes the rotation center axis ( If there is a large deviation from L1), the rotating drum (11) may vibrate greatly when the rotating drum (11) rotates.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the fixed portion is disposed so that the volume center (Vg) of the charge control box (3A) is positioned on the rotation center axis (L1). In other words, when the charging control box (3A) is fixed to the rotating drum (11) by the fixing portion provided on the rotating drum (11), the volume center (Vg) of the charging control box (3A) is the center of rotation. It may be located on the line (L1). Thereby, when the charging control box (3A) is fixed to the rotating drum (11), the center of gravity of the rotating drum (11) to which the charging control box (3A) is fixed is on or near the rotation center axis (L1). Can be located.

Therefore, the rotational balance of the rotating drum (11) can be improved. In other words, the rotating drum (11) can rotate more smoothly. For this reason, the usability of the storage device can be improved.

Further, since the volume center (Vg) of the charge control box (3A) is located on the rotation center axis (L1), depending on the maximum outer dimensions of the charge control box (3A), the charge control box (3A) may be connected to the rotating drum ( 11) It can arrange | position without protruding, and can suppress that the outer diameter dimension of the rotating drum (11) also including a charge control box (3A) becomes large.

As described above, according to the present invention, by fixing the charge control box (3A) to the rotating drum (11), the charge control box (3A) can be disposed at a position close to the power supply side. Moreover, it can suppress that the outer diameter dimension of a rotating drum (11) becomes large. For this reason, the usability of the storage device can be improved.

“The volume center (Vg) of the charge control box (3A) is located on the rotation center axis (L1)” means that the volume center (Vg) is completely located on the rotation center axis (L1). Of course, this also includes the case where the volume center (Vg) is deviated from the rotation center axis (L1) to such an extent that the rotation balance is not largely lost.

Further, the “deviation to the extent that the rotation balance is not largely lost” means that, for example, when the charging control box (3A) has a rectangular tube shape, its width dimension (W1) and the width dimension of the connector part (13) ( A deviation of about 1/2 or less of the sum of W2).

That is, the charging cable 3 according to the present embodiment includes a charging control box 3A, a terminal side cable 3B, a winding side cable 3C, a terminal connector 3D, a vehicle side connector 3E, and the like.

(First embodiment)
1. 1. Configuration of Charging Cable Housing Device 1.1 Overview of Charging Cable Housing Device The housing device 1 according to the present embodiment is configured to include a reel 10 and a holder 20 as shown in FIG. . The reel 10 is detachable from the holder 20. When the electric vehicle is charged, the reel 10 is mounted on the holder 20.

1.2 Reel Configuration The reel 10 includes a rotating drum 11 that winds the winding-side cable 3C, a back plate 12 that rotatably supports the rotating drum 11, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the rotating drum 11 includes a winding rim 11 A having a cylindrical winding surface 11 a around which the winding-side cable 3 C is wound, and hooks provided on both ends in the axial direction of the winding rim 11 A. The flange portion 11B and the like are included.

The winding rim 11A according to the present embodiment has a small diameter portion 11C on the back plate 12 side, that is, one axial end side, and a large diameter portion 11D on the other axial end side. And the small diameter part 11C and the large diameter part 11D are assembled | attached mutually, and the winding rim | limb 11A is comprised.

Of the pair of flange portions 11B, the flange portion 11B on one end side in the axial direction is integrally formed with resin together with the small diameter portion 11C. Similarly, the flange portion 11B on the other axial end side of the pair of flange portions 11B is integrally formed with resin together with the large diameter portion 11D.

The small-diameter portion 11C is provided with a fitting portion 11E into which a support portion 12A provided on the back plate 12 is slidably fitted. The rotating drum 11 can rotate with respect to the back plate 12 by the sliding contact between the inner peripheral surface 11e of the fitting portion 11E and the outer peripheral surface 12a of the support portion 12A. The support portion 12A is formed in a cylindrical shape. A hook-shaped locking portion 12B that locks with the rotating drum 11 is provided on the distal end side of the support portion 12A, that is, on the rotating drum 11 side.

A fixing portion 11F for fixing the charging control box 3A is provided on the other axial end side of the rotating drum 11, that is, on the large diameter portion 11D side. In the present embodiment, since the maximum outer dimension of the charging control box 3A is larger than the inner diameter dimension of the winding rim 11A, the plurality of fixing portions 11F are provided on the flange portion 11B.

As shown in FIG. 3, the plurality of fixing portions 11F are arranged such that the volume center Vg of the charging control box 3A is positioned on the rotation center axis L1. The rotation center axis L1 refers to the rotation center axis L1 of the rotary drum 11, as shown in FIG. The “volume center Vg” refers to a point where the volume moment (the moment due to gravity when the density is “1”) is balanced.

In the present invention, “the volume center Vg of the charging control box 3A is located on the rotation center axis L1” means that the rotation balance is greatly lost, as well as the case where the volume center Vg is completely located on the rotation center axis L1. This includes the case where the volume center Vg is deviated from the rotation center axis L1 to the extent that the volume center Vg is not.

As shown in FIG. 3, for example, when the charging control box 3A has a rectangular tube shape, the “deviation to the extent that the rotational balance is not greatly lost” is defined as the width dimension W1 of the terminal connector 3D and the width dimension W2 of the terminal connector 3D. A deviation of about 1/2 or less of the sum. In FIG. 3, the volume center Vg is not completely positioned on the rotation center axis L1, and the volume center Vg is shifted to the left side of the drawing with respect to the rotation center axis L1.

In order to connect the terminal connector 3D to the power supply side at a position on the rotating drum 11 on the same side as the fixed portion 11F and shifted in a direction perpendicular to the rotation center axis L1 with respect to the rotation center axis L1. The connector part 13 is provided.

As shown in FIG. 4, the connector portion 13 is provided with a mounting opening 13 A for mounting the terminal connector 3 D in the holder-side socket 21. The mounting port 13A communicates with the holder side socket 21 side of the holder 20 by penetrating the rotating drum 11 and the back plate 12 in a direction parallel to the rotation center axis L1.

And the connector part 13 is provided with at least one locking part 13B as shown in FIG. The locking portion 13 B prevents the terminal connector 3 D from dropping from the rotating drum 11, that is, the reel 10.

Specifically, the locking portion 13B according to the present embodiment includes, for example, a locking hook 13C and an elastic portion 13D. The locking hook 13C is entirely formed in an arm shape, and one end is formed in a hook shape. Specifically, the locking hook 13C has a protrusion 13F that engages with a locked portion 13E provided in the terminal connector 3D. The protrusion 13F is provided on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the locking hook 13C.

The intermediate portion of the locking hook 13C in the longitudinal direction is assembled to the rotating drum 11 so as to be swingable. The elastic portion 13D applies an elastic force that maintains the locked state between the protrusion 13F and the locked portion 13E to the other end in the longitudinal direction of the locking hook 13C. The elastic portion 13D according to the present embodiment is configured by at least one coil spring.

At least one protrusion 13G for locking the terminal connector 3D inserted into the mounting port 13A is provided on the holder side socket 21 side of the mounting port 13A. The protruding portion 13G is a portion that protrudes toward the center from the inner peripheral surface of the mounting opening 13A. The protruding portion 13G according to the present embodiment is configured by an annular flange that protrudes continuously toward the center over the entire inner peripheral surface of the mounting port 13A.

For this reason, when the terminal connector 3D is inserted into the mounting opening 13A, the terminal connector 3D is locked to the protrusion 13G, so that the terminal connector 3D is prevented from coming out to the holder 20 side. And since terminal connector 3D will be in the state clamped by the projection part 13G and the latching hook 13C, it is suppressed that terminal connector 3D falls from the reel 10. FIG.

By the way, when the terminal connector 3D is attached to the holder-side socket 21, the charging cable 3 becomes conductive to the power source side via the holder-side socket 21, that is, the holder 20. When charging the electric vehicle, as described above, the reel 10 is assembled to the holder 20 and the state where the reel 10 is assembled to the holder 20 is maintained.

Accordingly, the locking portion 13B suppresses the terminal connector 3D attached to the holder side socket 21 from dropping off from the holder side socket 21 indirectly by suppressing the terminal connector 3D from dropping from the reel 10. To do.

1.3. Configuration of Holder As shown in FIG. 1, the holder 20 is provided with a holder-side socket 21 that is electrically connected to the charging power source (not shown) side. The holder side socket 21 is arranged at a position shifted radially outward from the rotation center axis L1 so as to correspond to the connector portion 13, that is, the mounting opening 13A.

The holder side socket 21 is electrically connected to a power source side cable (not shown) via a sliding contact such as a slip ring (not shown) provided in the cylindrical contact box 23. ing. For this reason, the holder-side socket 21 can rotate around the rotation center axis L1 while ensuring continuity with the power-side cable. Therefore, when the terminal connector 3D is attached to the holder-side socket 21, the charging cable 3 and the charging power supply side can be electrically connected.

The power supply side cable is a cable for electrically connecting the charging power supply and the holder side socket 21. The power supply side cable is connected to a stationary brush (not shown) of a slip ring (not shown). On the other hand, the rotation side electrode ring (not shown) of the slip ring (not shown) is connected to the holder side socket 21.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the holder side socket 21 protrudes toward the reel 10 when viewed from the contact box 23. The outer diameter dimension of the holder-side socket 21 is a dimension equal to or smaller than the hole diameter of the mounting opening 13A defined by the protruding portion 13G, and the protruding dimension A of the holder-side socket 21 is the thickness dimension C of the protruding portion 13G (see FIG. 5)) or more.

Therefore, when the reel 10 is mounted on the holder 20, as shown in FIG. 6, the portion of the holder-side socket 21 that protrudes from the contact box 23 is a hole in the mounting port 13A defined by the protrusion 13G. Fit into the part.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the terminal 3G of the terminal connector 3D can be inserted into the holder-side socket 21 until the end surface 3F of the terminal connector 3D and the end surface 21A of the holder-side socket 21 come into contact with each other.

The contact box 23 is assembled to the holder body 25 as shown in FIG. At least one support portion 25 A and a hook portion 25 B for fixing the reel 10 to the holder 20 are provided on the upper end side and the lower end side of the holder body 25.

The support portion 25A supports the lower end side of the reel 10. On the other hand, the hook portion 25B engages with the upper end side of the reel 10 and holds the upper end side. As a result, the entire reel 10 is held by the support portion 25A and the hook portion 25B.

The support portion 25A is constituted by an arm portion 25C. The arm portion 25C protrudes from the holder body 25 toward the reel 10 and has a recess 25E on the protruding side. The hook portion 25B is configured by an arm portion 25D. The arm portion 25D is a hook-shaped member that protrudes from the holder body 25 toward the reel 10 and has a protrusion 25F on the front end side in the protruding direction.

The back plate 12 of the reel 10 is provided with a concave portion 12C that engages with the concave portion 25E of the support portion 25A, and a hole-shaped engaging portion 12D into which the hook portion 25B is fitted.
A protrusion 12E that engages with the protrusion 25F is provided in the engagement part 12D. These protrusions 12E are pressed by springs (not shown) at positions where they can engage with the protrusions 25F.

When the reel 10 is mounted on the holder 20, the reel 10 is swung so as to press the holder 10 toward the holder 20 with the support portion 25 A side as a fulcrum in a state where the recess 12 C of the reel 10 is fitted in the support portion 25 A. As a result, the hook portion 25B is fitted into the engaging portion 12D, and at the same time, the protrusion portion 12E on the reel 10 side and the protrusion portion 25F on the holder 20 side are engaged, and the reel 10 is fixed to the holder 20.

When the reel 10 is removed from the holder 20, a release button (not shown) provided on the grip portion 12F of the reel 10 (back plate 12) is operated to engage the projection portion 12E with the projection portion 25F. In the released state, the reel 10 may be swung so as to be separated from the holder 20 with the support portion 25A side as a fulcrum.

1.4. Fitting between the holder-side socket and the reel-side socket In order to fit the terminal connector 3D into the holder-side socket 21, it is necessary to align the position of the terminal connector 3D with respect to the holder-side socket 21, as is apparent from FIG. is there.

Specifically, after the reel 10 is removed from the holder 20, when the rotating drum 11 rotates with respect to the back plate 12, the connector portion 13, that is, the mounting opening 13 A turns around the rotation center axis L 1. When attaching 10 to the holder 20, the terminal connector 3 D cannot be fitted into the holder-side socket 21.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, identification marks Mh and Mr indicating positions where the terminal connector 3D can be fitted into the holder side socket 21 are provided on the holder 20 and the reel 10 respectively.

Specifically, the identification mark Mr provided on the reel 10 is provided in the vicinity of the mounting opening 13A as shown in FIG. On the other hand, the identification mark Mh provided on the holder 20 is provided on the outermost peripheral portion of the holder-side socket 21 as shown in FIG.

In the state where the reel 10 is mounted on the holder 20, the identification mark Mh cannot be visually recognized. However, in the process of mounting the reel 10 on the holder 20, the identification mark Mh can be viewed from the reel 10 side.

The identification marks Mh and Mr according to the present embodiment are configured by a figure (triangular figure in the present embodiment) having a color different from the ground color of the portion where the identification marks Mh and Mr are provided. ing.
2. Characteristics of Charging Cable Housing Device According to this Embodiment In this embodiment, the charging control box 3A is disposed so that the volume center Vg is located on the rotation center axis L1 (or in the vicinity of the rotation center axis L1). Therefore, the center of gravity of the rotating drum 11 (including the charging control box 3A) can be located on or near the rotation center axis L1.

Therefore, the rotation balance of the rotating drum 11 (including the charging control box 3A) can be improved. In other words, the rotating drum 11 can rotate more smoothly. For this reason, the usability of the storage device 1 can be improved.

Further, since the volume center Vg of the charge control box 3A is located on the rotation center axis L1 (or in the vicinity of the rotation center axis L1), the charge control box 3A may protrude from the rotating drum 11 depending on the size of the charge control box 3A. You can avoid it. For example, assuming that the maximum outer dimension of the charging control box 3A is within the diameter dimension range of the rotating drum 11, an increase in the outer diameter of the charging control box 3A and the rotating drum 11 can be suppressed. .

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by fixing the charging control box 3A to the rotating drum 11, the charging control box 3A can be disposed at a position close to the power supply side. Moreover, it can suppress that the outer diameter dimension which match | combined the charging control box 3A and the rotating drum 11 becomes large. For this reason, the usability of the storage device 1 can be improved.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the holder 20 provided with the holder side socket 21 connected to the power source side, the back plate 12 that can be attached to and detached from the holder 20, and the rotating drum that is rotatably assembled to the back plate 12 And a reel 10 having 11.

Thereby, in this embodiment, since the charging cable 3 is stored in a wound state and the reel 10 is detachable from the holder 20, a place where the holder 20 can be charged, such as a garage or a parking lot. It is good also as a state where only the reel 10 is stored (mounted) in a trunk room or the like, and the storage property and mounting property of the charging cable 3 can be improved.

In the present embodiment, the connector portion 13 is provided with a mounting port 13A that penetrates the back plate 12 in a direction parallel to the rotation center axis L1 and communicates with the holder side socket 21 side, and further through the mounting port 13A. The terminal connector 3D is attached to the holder-side socket 21, whereby the terminal connector 3D is connected to the power supply side.

Thereby, in this embodiment, since the terminal connector 3D is directly attached to the holder-side socket 21, the number of parts of the storage device 1 can be reduced and a simple configuration can be achieved.

Further, in the present embodiment, the connector portion 13 is characterized in that it has a locking portion 13B that suppresses the terminal connector 3D attached to the holder side socket 21 from dropping off from the holder side socket 21. As a result, the terminal connector 3 D can be prevented from dropping from the holder-side socket 21 when the rotary drum 11 rotates.

Further, the locking portion 13B according to the present embodiment also prevents the terminal connector 3D from dropping from the reel 10, so that when the reel 10 is removed from the holder 20, the terminal-side cable 3B is staggered. Can be suppressed.

By the way, since the holder side socket 21 is rotatable, if the rotatable holder side socket 21 is rotated after the reel 10 is removed from the holder 20, the position of the reel 10 with respect to the holder side socket 21 is changed. Therefore, the terminal connector 3D may not be fitted into the holder side socket 21 when the reel 10 is mounted on the holder 20 next time.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the identification mark Mh is provided on the holder 20, even if the position of the reel 10 with respect to the holder side socket 21 is displaced, the terminal is used with the identification mark Mh as a mark. The connector 3D can be easily fitted to the holder-side socket 21.

In the present embodiment, when the reel 10 is mounted on the holder 20, as shown in FIG. 6, the portion of the holder-side socket 21 that protrudes from the contact box 23 is defined by the protrusion 13G. Fit into the hole of the mouth 13A.

For this reason, in this embodiment, the rotational force of the rotating drum 11 acts on the contact portion between the protruding portion 13G and the outer peripheral portion of the holder-side socket 21 without substantially acting on the terminal 3G. Therefore, since it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a large bending stress or the like in the terminal 3G when the rotating drum 11 rotates, it is possible to prevent the terminal 3G, that is, the terminal connector 3D from being damaged.

(Second Embodiment)
In the above-described embodiment, by providing a slip ring (not shown), the conduction state between the terminal connector 3D and the holder-side socket 21 is ensured even when the rotary drum 11 rotates. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, sliding terminals 21 B that can be brought into sliding contact with the terminals 3 G of the terminal connector 3 D are provided in the holder-side socket 21.

Each sliding terminal 21B is formed in an annular shape around the rotation center axis L1. For this reason, regardless of the position of the terminal connector 3D with respect to the holder-side socket 21, the terminal connector 3D can be easily fitted into the reel-side socket.

Therefore, even if the reel 10 is rotated after the reel 10 is removed from the holder 20, the terminal connector 3 D is fitted into the holder-side socket 21 when the reel 10 is mounted on the holder 20 next time. There is no problem that cannot be done.

In the second embodiment, since the terminal connector 3D can be fitted into the reel side socket regardless of the position of the terminal connector 3D with respect to the holder side socket 21, the identification marks Mh and Mr are not provided. The second embodiment is not limited to this, and identification marks Mh and Mr may be provided.
