　図１は、車両２の車室内に充電口を覆う充電リッド２１を備えるものとし、本発明に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構を用いる場合の概略図である。また、図２は、ボデー２２の表面に充電リッド２１を備える車両２に対し、本発明に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構を用いる場合の概略図である。 FIG. 1 is a schematic view in a case where a charging lid 21 covering a charging port is provided in a vehicle compartment of a vehicle 2 and a charging cable lock mechanism according to the present invention is used. Moreover, FIG. 2 is the schematic in the case of using the charge cable apparatus locking mechanism which concerns on this invention with respect to the vehicle 2 provided with the charge lid 21 on the surface of the body 22. As shown in FIG.
　本発明に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構は、充電中の車両２に接続されている（家庭用の）充電ケーブル装置１をロックするものである。充電ケーブル装置１は、充電ガン１２、ケーブル１３、及び、充電プラグ１４を備えている。通常、充電ケーブル装置１は、ケーブル１３が、充電ガン１２及び充電プラグ１４に比べ小径に設計される。 The charging cable lock mechanism according to the present invention locks the (home) charging cable 1 connected to the vehicle 2 being charged. The charging cable device 1 includes a charging gun 12, a cable 13, and a charging plug 14. Usually, in the charging cable device 1, the cable 13 is designed to have a smaller diameter than the charging gun 12 and the charging plug 14.
　充電ガン１２は、ケーブル１３の一端に設けられ、車両２に設けられている充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に接続される接続端子であり、充電プラグ１４は、ケーブル１３の他端に設けられ、外部の給電装置４に接続される接続端子である。 The charging gun 12 is a connection terminal provided at one end of the cable 13 and connected to a charging port covered by the charging lid 21 provided in the vehicle 2. The charging plug 14 is provided at the other end of the cable 13 Connection terminal connected to the external power supply device 4.
　図１に示すように、本発明は、車両２が車室内に充電リッド２１を備えるものとし、例えばリアゲート２３（開閉部材）に設けられた溝３にケーブル１３を通して、充電プラグ１４を給電装置４に接続する（図示していないが、充電ガン１２は車室内の充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に接続する）ものとする。なお、溝３の幅は、ケーブル１３（１本分）の外径と同一又は略同一である。 As shown in FIG. 1, according to the present invention, the vehicle 2 is provided with the charging lid 21 in the vehicle compartment, and the charging plug 14 is fed through the cable 13 through the groove 3 provided in the rear gate 23 (opening / closing member). (Not shown, the charging gun 12 is connected to the charging port covered by the charging lid 21 in the vehicle compartment). The width of the groove 3 is the same as or substantially the same as the outer diameter of the cable 13 (one cable).
　また、図２に示すように、車両２がボデー２２の表面に充電リッド２１を備える場合、本発明は、例えばドア２５（開閉部材）に設けられた２つの溝３にケーブル１３を通して、充電プラグ１４を給電装置４に接続し、充電ガン１２をボデー２２の表面に設けられている充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に接続するものとする。 Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the vehicle 2 is provided with the charging lid 21 on the surface of the body 22, the present invention is, for example, passing the cable 13 through the two grooves 3 provided in the door 25 (opening and closing member). 14 is connected to the power feeding device 4, and the charging gun 12 is connected to a charging port covered by a charging lid 21 provided on the surface of the body 22.
　ただし、この場合の溝３については、２つ設ける代わりに、往復２回分のケーブル１３が通る大きさの１つの溝とし、例えば車室内に備わるストリンガーやその他の構造物に係止させてもよい。いずれにしても、車両２においてケーブル１３の折り返し部分を任意の係止部（構造物）に係止させることができればよい（溝３が２つの場合は、２つの溝３の間のボデー部分がこの係止部（構造物）に該当する）。そして、溝３の幅（溝３が２つの場合は２つの溝３の合計の幅）は、２本分のケーブル１３と同一又は略同一である。 However, the groove 3 in this case may be a single groove having a size through which the cable 13 for two reciprocations passes, instead of being provided in two, and may be locked to, for example, a stringer or other structure provided in the vehicle interior . In any case, it is only necessary that the folded portion of the cable 13 can be locked to any locking portion (structure) in the vehicle 2 (in the case of two grooves 3, the body portion between the two grooves 3 is This locking portion (structure) corresponds). The width of the groove 3 (the total width of the two grooves 3 in the case of two grooves 3) is the same as or substantially the same as that of the two cables 13.
　以下、本発明に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構の具体的な形状について、各実施例にてそれぞれ図面を用いて説明する。 Hereinafter, specific shapes of the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present invention will be described in each embodiment with reference to the drawings.
［実施例１］
　図３は、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構を示す概略図である。図３に示すように、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構は、溝３１，３２を備えている。 Example 1
FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment includes grooves 31 and 32.
　溝３１，３２は、車両２のボデー２２のうち、リアゲート２３の開閉位置にある開口部の下端（開口下端部２２ａ）に形成されており、リアゲート２３の閉状態において、車両２の車室内と車室外とを連通する貫通口となる。そして、これらの貫通口は、ケーブル１３が自在に通過することが可能であり、かつ、ケーブル１３よりも大径である充電ガン１２及び充電プラグ１４は通過することができない径（形状）であるものとする。 The grooves 31 and 32 are formed at the lower end (opening lower end 22a) of the opening of the body 22 of the vehicle 2 at the opening and closing position of the rear gate 23. When the rear gate 23 is closed, It is a through hole communicating with the outside of the vehicle. These through holes allow the cable 13 to pass freely, and have a diameter (shape) which the charging gun 12 and the charging plug 14 which are larger in diameter than the cable 13 can not pass through. It shall be.
　車両２のボデー２２の表面に充電リッド２１が設けられている場合、作業者は、ケーブル１３を溝３１，３２に通し、リアゲート２３を閉状態として（すなわち、ケーブル１３を上述の２つの貫通口に通している状態として）、充電ガン１２をボデー２２表面に設けられている充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に、充電プラグ１４を給電装置４（図３では省略）に、それぞれ接続し、車両２に対し充電を行う。 When the charging lid 21 is provided on the surface of the body 22 of the vehicle 2, the operator passes the cable 13 through the grooves 31 and 32 to close the rear gate 23 (that is, the cable 13 is the two through holes described above) Connecting the charging gun 14 to the power feeding device 4 (not shown in FIG. 3) to the charging port covered by the charging lid 21 provided on the surface of the body 22; The vehicle 2 is charged.
　このようにして車両２に対し充電を行うことで、ケーブル１３部分は、上記貫通口を通して自在に可動させることができ、一方で、ケーブル１３の両端の充電ガン１２及び充電プラグ１４（すなわち接続端子）部分は、上記貫通口を通ることができない状態となる。 By charging the vehicle 2 in this manner, the cable 13 portion can be freely moved through the through hole, while the charging gun 12 and the charging plug 14 at both ends of the cable 13 (i.e., connection terminals) The part can not pass through the through hole.
　したがって、充電ガン１２側から充電ケーブル装置１を引き抜こうとしても、充電プラグ１４側から充電ケーブル装置１を引き抜こうとしても、いずれの接続端子も上記貫通口を通ることができず、これら接続端子部分でロックがかかる状態となり、充電ケーブル装置１の盗難を防止することができる。 Therefore, even if it is going to pull out the charge cable apparatus 1 from the charge gun 12 side, even if it is going to pull out the charge cable apparatus 1 from the charge plug 14 side, none of the connection terminals can pass through the through hole, and these connection terminals The part is locked, and the charging cable device 1 can be prevented from being stolen.
　すなわち、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構では、盗難防止用の鍵を用いずに、充電ケーブル装置１に対し、ケーブル１３部分の可動性を保ちつつ盗難を防止することができる。また、溝３１，３２にケーブル１３を通す作業は、暗闇あるいは作業者が手袋を着用した状態であっても容易に行うことができ、さらに、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構を実現するには、溝３１，３２を形成するだけでよく、製造コストを抑えることができる。 That is, the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment can prevent theft while maintaining the mobility of the cable 13 with respect to the charging cable 1 without using the antitheft key. In addition, the operation of passing the cable 13 through the grooves 31 and 32 can be easily performed even in the dark or in a state where the operator wears a glove, and further realizes the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment. In addition, the grooves 31 and 32 need only be formed, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
　以下では、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構の溝３１，３２の形状についてさらに詳述する。図４は、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構の溝３１，３２の形状を示す概略的拡大図である。 Hereinafter, the shapes of the grooves 31 and 32 of the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment will be described in more detail. FIG. 4 is a schematic enlarged view showing the shape of the grooves 31 and 32 of the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment.
　溝３１は、車両２の開口下端部２２ａのうち、ボデー２２が車両後方へ向け凸状となっている部分である角部２２ａａに形成される車室外側溝部３１ａ、及び、前記開口部のウェザーストリップ２２ａｂに形成される車室内側溝部３１ｂからなる。そして、車室外側溝部３１ａと車室内側溝部３１ｂとは、車幅方向において異なる位置に形成される。 The groove 31 is a vehicle compartment outer groove 31a formed in a corner 22aa which is a portion of the opening lower end 22a of the vehicle 2 in which the body 22 is convex toward the vehicle rear, and the weather of the opening The vehicle interior side groove portion 31b is formed in the strip 22ab. And, the vehicle interior outer side groove portion 31a and the vehicle interior side groove portion 31b are formed at different positions in the vehicle width direction.
　また、溝３２は、角部２２ａａに形成される車室外側溝部３２ａ、及び、ウェザーストリップ２２ａｂに形成される車室内側溝部３２ｂからなる。そして、車室外側溝部３２ａと車室内側溝部３２ｂとは、車幅方向において異なる位置に形成される。 Further, the groove 32 is formed of a vehicle compartment outer groove 32a formed in the corner 22aa and a vehicle interior groove 32b formed in the weather strip 22ab. And, the vehicle interior outer side groove portion 32a and the vehicle interior side groove portion 32b are formed at different positions in the vehicle width direction.
　このように、車室外側溝部３１ａ，３２ａと車室内側溝部３１ｂ，３２ｂとを車幅方向にずらすことによって、降水時あるいは洗車時などに、図５の模式図に示すように、水３３が車両２の車室内に入りにくくなる。 Thus, as shown in the schematic view of FIG. 5, water 33 is generated during precipitation or car wash by shifting the outer groove portions 31a, 32a and the inner groove portions 31b, 32b in the vehicle width direction. It becomes difficult to enter the cabin of the vehicle 2.
　なお、図４に示すように、車室内側溝部３１ｂよりも車室外側溝部３１ａの方が車幅方向外側に形成されるものとし、車室内側溝部３２ｂよりも車室外側溝部３２ａの方が車幅方向外側に形成されるものとすると、ケーブル１３の可動性を保ちやすくなる。 Note that, as shown in FIG. 4, the outer groove portion 31 a is formed on the outer side in the vehicle width direction than the inner groove portion 31 b, and the outer groove portion 32 a is formed than the inner groove portion 32 b. If it is formed on the outer side in the vehicle width direction, the movability of the cable 13 can be easily maintained.
　ここまでは、車両２のボデー２２の表面に充電リッド２１が設けられている場合（図２に相当）を想定して説明したが、本実施例では、車室内に充電リッド２１が設けられている（図１に相当）ものとして、溝３１，３２のどちらか一方のみを形成するものとしてもよい。 So far, the case where the charging lid 21 is provided on the surface of the body 22 of the vehicle 2 (corresponding to FIG. 2) has been described, but in the present embodiment, the charging lid 21 is provided in the vehicle compartment Alternatively, only one of the grooves 31 and 32 may be formed (corresponding to FIG. 1).
　すなわち、車室内に充電リッド２１が設けられているものとした場合、作業者は、ケーブル１３を溝３１（又は溝３２）に通し、リアゲート２３を閉状態とした状態で、充電ガン１２を車室内に設けられている充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に、充電プラグ１４を給電装置４に、それぞれ接続し、車両２に対し充電を行う。 That is, when the charging lid 21 is provided in the vehicle compartment, the operator passes the cable 13 through the groove 31 (or the groove 32) and closes the rear gate 23, and the charging gun 12 is The charging plug 14 is connected to the power feeding device 4 to the charging port covered by the charging lid 21 provided in the room, and the vehicle 2 is charged.
　これにより、車両２のボデー２２の表面に充電リッド２１が設けられている場合と同様の作用効果を得ることができる。 Thereby, the same effect as the case where charge lid 21 is provided on the surface of body 22 of vehicle 2 can be obtained.
　なお、上述では、溝３１，３２が、車両２のボデー２２のうち、リアゲート２３の開閉位置にある開口部の「下端」に形成されるものとしたが、本実施例はこれに限定するものではなく、開口部の下端以外の端部に形成してもよい。この点においては、下記の各実施例においても同様である。 In the above description, the grooves 31 and 32 are formed in the “lower end” of the opening in the opening / closing position of the rear gate 23 in the body 22 of the vehicle 2, but this embodiment is limited thereto Instead, it may be formed at an end other than the lower end of the opening. In this respect, the same applies to the following embodiments.
［実施例２］
　図６は、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構を示す概略図である。図６に示すように、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構は、溝３３を備えている。 Example 2
FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing a charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the charging cable lock mechanism according to this embodiment includes a groove 33.
　溝３３は、リアゲート２３に形成されており、リアゲート２３の閉状態において、車両２の車室内と車室外とを連通する貫通口となる。そして、実施例１同様、この貫通口は、ケーブル１３が自在に通過することが可能であり、かつ、充電ガン１２及び充電プラグ１４は通過することができない径（形状）であるものとする。 The groove 33 is formed in the rear gate 23, and when the rear gate 23 is in a closed state, the groove 33 serves as a through hole communicating the vehicle interior of the vehicle 2 with the vehicle exterior. Then, as in the first embodiment, the through hole is a diameter (shape) through which the cable 13 can freely pass and the charging gun 12 and the charging plug 14 can not pass through.
　より詳述すると、溝３３は、リアゲート２３の下端２３ａに形成される車室外側溝部３３ａ、及び、リアゲート２３の錠部２３ｂが設置される面２３ｃに形成される車室内側溝部３３ｂからなる。 More specifically, the groove 33 is composed of a vehicle compartment outer side groove 33a formed on the lower end 23a of the rear gate 23, and a vehicle interior side groove 33b formed on the surface 23c on which the lock 23b of the rear gate 23 is installed.
　車両２の車室内に充電リッド２１が設けられている場合（図１に相当）、作業者は、ケーブル１３を溝３３ａ，３３ｂに通し、リアゲート２３を閉状態として（すなわち、ケーブル１３を上述の貫通口に通している状態として）、充電ガン１２を充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に、充電プラグ１４を給電装置４（図６では省略）に、それぞれ接続し、車両２に対し充電を行う。 When the charging lid 21 is provided in the compartment of the vehicle 2 (corresponding to FIG. 1), the operator passes the cable 13 through the grooves 33a and 33b and closes the rear gate 23 (that is, the cable 13 is Charge the vehicle 2 by connecting the charging gun 12 to the charging port covered by the charging lid 21 and the charging plug 14 to the power feeding device 4 (not shown in FIG. 6). Do.
　このように車両２に対し充電を行うことで、ケーブル１３部分は、上記貫通口を通して自在に可動させることができ、一方で、車室内にある充電ガン１２（接続端子）は、上記貫通口を通ることができない状態となる。 By charging the vehicle 2 in this manner, the cable 13 portion can be freely moved through the through hole, while the charging gun 12 (connection terminal) in the vehicle compartment is connected to the through hole. It will be in the state which can not pass.
　したがって、充電ケーブル装置１を引き抜くことができず、充電ケーブル装置１の盗難を防止することができる。 Therefore, the charging cable device 1 can not be pulled out, and the theft of the charging cable device 1 can be prevented.
　すなわち、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構では、盗難防止用の鍵を用いずに、充電ケーブル装置１に対し、ケーブル１３部分の可動性を保ちつつ盗難を防止することができる。また、溝３３にケーブル１３を通す作業は、暗闇あるいは作業者が手袋を着用した状態であっても容易に行うことができ、さらに、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構を実現するには、溝３３を形成するだけでよく、製造コストを抑えることができる。 That is, the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment can prevent theft while maintaining the mobility of the cable 13 with respect to the charging cable 1 without using the antitheft key. In addition, the operation of passing the cable 13 through the groove 33 can be easily performed even in the dark or in a state where the operator wears a glove. Furthermore, to realize the charging cable device lock mechanism according to the present embodiment , The groove 33 may be formed, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
　なお上述では、車両２の車室内に充電リッド２１が設けられている（図１に相当）ものとして説明したが、本実施例では、ボデー２２の表面に充電リッド２１が設けられている（図２に相当）場合にも、溝３３と同様の溝（図示略）をもう一つ形成し、ケーブル１３を２つの溝に通して、充電ガン１２を充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に接続するようにしてもよい。 In the above description, the charging lid 21 is provided in the interior of the vehicle 2 (corresponding to FIG. 1), but in the present embodiment, the charging lid 21 is provided on the surface of the body 22 (see FIG. Also in the case 2), another groove (not shown) similar to the groove 33 is formed, the cable 13 is passed through the two grooves, and the charging gun 12 is connected to the charging port covered by the charging lid 21 You may do it.
　すなわち、ボデー２２の表面に充電リッド２１が設けられている場合、作業者は、ケーブル１３を溝３３と他方の溝に通し、リアゲート２３を閉状態として、充電ガン１２をボデー２２の表面に設けられている充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に、充電プラグ１４を給電装置４に、それぞれ接続し、車両２に対し充電を行う。 That is, when the charging lid 21 is provided on the surface of the body 22, the operator passes the cable 13 through the groove 33 and the other groove and closes the rear gate 23 to provide the charging gun 12 on the surface of the body 22. The charging plug 14 is connected to the power feeding device 4 to the charging port covered by the charging lid 21, and the vehicle 2 is charged.

［実施例３］
　図７は、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構を示す概略図である。図７に示すように、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構は、溝３４，３５を備えている。 [Example 3]
FIG. 7 is a schematic view showing a charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, the charging cable lock mechanism according to this embodiment includes grooves 34 and 35.
　溝３４，３５は、車両２のボデー２２のうち、例えば運転席２４側のドア２５の開閉位置にある開口部の下端（開口下端部２２ｂ）に形成されており、ドア２５の閉状態において、車両２の車室内と車室外とを連通する貫通口となる（図７では、ドア２５の開状態を表している）。そして、実施例１，２同様、これらの貫通口は、ケーブル１３が自在に通過することが可能であり、かつ、充電ガン１２及び充電プラグ１４は通過することができない径（形状）であるものとする。 The grooves 34 and 35 are formed, for example, at the lower end (the lower end 22 b of the opening) of the body 22 of the vehicle 2 at the opening and closing position of the door 25 on the driver's seat 24 side. The through-hole communicating the vehicle interior of the vehicle 2 with the outside of the vehicle is provided (in FIG. 7, the open state of the door 25 is shown). As in the first and second embodiments, these through holes allow the cable 13 to pass freely and have a diameter (shape) that the charging gun 12 and the charging plug 14 can not pass through. I assume.
　車両２のボデー２２の表面に充電リッド２１が設けられている場合（図２に相当）、作業者は、ケーブル１３を溝３４，３５に通し、ドア２５を閉状態として（すなわち、ケーブル１３を上述の貫通口に通している状態として）、充電ガン１２を充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に、充電プラグ１４を給電装置４（図７では省略）に、それぞれ接続し、車両２に対し充電を行う。 When the charging lid 21 is provided on the surface of the body 22 of the vehicle 2 (corresponding to FIG. 2), the operator passes the cable 13 through the grooves 34 and 35 to close the door 25 (that is, the cable 13). The charging gun 12 is connected to the charging port covered by the charging lid 21 and the charging plug 14 is connected to the power feeding device 4 (not shown in FIG. 7), respectively. Charge.
　このように車両２に対し充電を行うことで、ケーブル１３部分は、上記貫通口を通して自在に可動させることができ、一方で、ケーブル１３の両端の充電ガン１２及び充電プラグ１４（すなわち接続端子）部分は、上記貫通口を通ることができない状態となる。 By charging the vehicle 2 in this manner, the cable 13 portion can be freely moved through the through hole, while the charging gun 12 and the charging plug 14 (i.e. connection terminals) at both ends of the cable 13 The portion is in a state where it can not pass through the through hole.
　したがって、充電ガン１２側から充電ケーブル装置１を引き抜こうとしても、充電プラグ１４側から充電ケーブル装置１を引き抜こうとしても、いずれの接続端子も上記貫通口を通ることができず、これら接続端子部分でロックがかかる状態となり、充電ケーブル装置１の盗難を防止することができる。 Therefore, even if it is going to pull out the charge cable apparatus 1 from the charge gun 12 side, even if it is going to pull out the charge cable apparatus 1 from the charge plug 14 side, none of the connection terminals can pass through the through hole, and these connection terminals The part is locked, and the charging cable device 1 can be prevented from being stolen.
　すなわち、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構では、盗難防止用の鍵を用いずに、充電ケーブル装置１に対し、ケーブル１３部分の可動性を保ちつつ盗難を防止することができる。また、溝３４，３５にケーブル１３を通す作業は、暗闇あるいは作業者が手袋を着用した状態であっても容易に行うことができ、さらに、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構を実現するには、溝３４，３５を形成するだけでよく、製造コストを抑えることができる。 That is, the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment can prevent theft while maintaining the mobility of the cable 13 with respect to the charging cable 1 without using the antitheft key. In addition, the operation of passing the cable 13 through the grooves 34 and 35 can be easily performed even in the dark or in a state where the operator wears a glove, and further realizes the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment. The grooves 34 and 35 need only be formed to reduce the manufacturing cost.
　なお上述では、車両２のボデー２２の表面に充電リッド２１が設けられている（図２に相当）ものとして説明したが、本実施例では、車室内に充電リッド２１が設けられている（図１に相当）ものとして、溝３４，３５のどちらか一方のみを形成するものとしてもよい。 In the above description, the charging lid 21 is provided on the surface of the body 22 of the vehicle 2 (corresponding to FIG. 2), but in the present embodiment, the charging lid 21 is provided in the vehicle compartment (see FIG. 1), only one of the grooves 34 and 35 may be formed.
　すなわち、車室内に充電リッド２１が設けられているものとした場合、作業者は、ケーブル１３を溝３４（又は溝３５）に通し、ドア２５を閉状態として、充電ガン１２を車室内に設けられている充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に、充電プラグ１４を給電装置４に、それぞれ接続し、車両２に対し充電を行う。これにより、車両２のボデー２２の表面に充電リッド２１が設けられている場合と同様の作用効果を得ることができる。 That is, when the charging lid 21 is provided in the vehicle compartment, the operator passes the cable 13 through the groove 34 (or the groove 35), closes the door 25 and provides the charging gun 12 in the vehicle compartment. The charging plug 14 is connected to the power feeding device 4 to the charging port covered by the charging lid 21, and the vehicle 2 is charged. Thereby, the same effect as the case where charge lid 21 is provided on the surface of body 22 of vehicle 2 can be obtained.
　また、上述では、車両２のボデー２２における運転席２４側のドア２５の開閉位置にある開口下端部２２ｂに溝３４，３５が形成されるものとしたが、いずれのドアの開閉位置にある開口下端部に溝が形成されるようにしてもよい。ただし、運転者は当然運転席２４側のドア２５を開けて乗車するために、運転席２４側に溝３４，３５を形成することで、溝３４，３５にケーブル１３を通した状態の場合、運転者の視界に確実に充電ケーブル装置１が入り、これによって充電ケーブル装置１を外し忘れたまま発車することを防ぐことができる。 In the above description, although the grooves 34 and 35 are formed in the opening lower end 22b of the body 22 of the vehicle 2 at the opening and closing position of the door 25 on the driver's seat 24 side, the opening at any door opening and closing position A groove may be formed at the lower end. However, in the case where the driver passes the cable 13 through the grooves 34, 35 by forming the grooves 34, 35 on the driver's seat 24 side to naturally open the door 25 on the driver's seat 24 side and get on the vehicle, It is possible to prevent the charging cable device 1 from entering the driver's field of vision without fail and leaving the charging cable device 1 in a forgotten state.
　さらに、上述では、溝３４，３５による貫通口を充電ガン１２及び充電プラグ１４が通過できない径（形状）とすることによって、充電ケーブル装置１のロックを実現したが、貫通口の径（形状）ではなく、例えば、車室内に設けたストライカーあるいはその他の構造物に、ケーブル１３をひっかけることによってロックするようにしてもよい。 Furthermore, in the above description, the charging cable device 1 is locked by making the through holes by the grooves 34 and 35 a diameter (shape) that the charging gun 12 and the charging plug 14 can not pass through. However, the diameter of the through holes (shape) Instead, for example, the cable 13 may be locked by hooking to a striker or other structure provided in the vehicle compartment.
［実施例４］
　図８，９は、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構を示す概略図である。特に図８は開状態のドア２５側、図９はドア２５の開状態のボデー２２側を表している。図８，９に示すように、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構は、溝３６及びフック２５ｂを備えている。 Example 4
8 and 9 are schematic views showing the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment. In particular, FIG. 8 shows the door 25 side in the open state, and FIG. 9 shows the body 22 side in the open state of the door 25. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment includes the groove 36 and the hook 25b.
　溝３６は、車両２のボデー２２のうち、例えば運転席２４側のドア２５の開閉位置にある開口部の下端（開口下端部２２ｂ）に形成されており、ドア２５の閉状態において、車両２の車室内と車室外とを連通する貫通口となる。この貫通口は、ケーブル１３の往復２回分が自在に通過することが可能であるほどの十分大きな径（形状）であるものとする。 The groove 36 is formed, for example, at the lower end (opening lower end 22 b) of the opening of the body 22 of the vehicle 2 at the opening and closing position of the door 25 on the driver's seat 24 side. And a through hole communicating the vehicle interior with the vehicle exterior. The through hole has a diameter (shape) large enough to allow two round trips of the cable 13 to pass freely.
　（上記構造物としての）フック２５ｂは、ドア２５に設置されたウェザーストリップ２５ｃの外側における、ドア２５の下端の角部位置（下端角部２５ａ）に着脱自在に設けられている。このフック２５ｂは、ケーブル１３が自在に通過することが可能であり、かつ、充電ガン１２及び充電プラグ１４は通過することができない径（形状）であるものとする。 The hook 25b (as the above structure) is detachably provided at the corner position (lower end corner 25a) of the lower end of the door 25 outside the weather strip 25c installed on the door 25. The hook 25b is a diameter (shape) through which the cable 13 can freely pass and the charging gun 12 and the charging plug 14 can not pass through.
　車両２のボデー２２の表面に充電リッド２１が設けられている場合（図２に相当）、作業者は、まず、ケーブル１３を溝３６に通し、フック２５ｂに通す。ケーブル１３はフック２５ｂ部分で折り返して再度溝３６に通す。そして、ドア２５を閉状態として、充電ガン１２を充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に、充電プラグ１４を給電装置４（図８，９では省略）に、それぞれ接続し、車両２に対し充電を行う。 When the charging lid 21 is provided on the surface of the body 22 of the vehicle 2 (corresponding to FIG. 2), the operator first passes the cable 13 through the groove 36 and passes through the hook 25 b. The cable 13 is folded back at the hook 25b and passed through the groove 36 again. Then, with the door 25 closed, the charging gun 12 is connected to the charging port covered by the charging lid 21 and the charging plug 14 is connected to the power feeding device 4 (not shown in FIGS. I do.
　このように車両２に対し充電を行うことで、ケーブル１３部分は自在に可動させることができ、一方で、充電ガン１２及び充電プラグ１４（すなわち接続端子）部分は、フック２５ｂを通ることができない状態となる。 By charging the vehicle 2 in this manner, the cable 13 portion can be freely moved, while the charging gun 12 and the charging plug 14 (i.e. connection terminal) portions can not pass through the hooks 25b. It becomes a state.
　したがって、充電ガン１２側から充電ケーブル装置１を引き抜こうとしても、充電プラグ１４側から充電ケーブル装置１を引き抜こうとしても、いずれの接続端子もフック２５ｂを通ることができず、これら接続端子部分でロックがかかる状態となり、充電ケーブル装置１の盗難を防止することができる。 Therefore, even if it is going to pull out the charge cable apparatus 1 from the charge gun 12 side, even if it is going to pull out the charge cable apparatus 1 from the charge plug 14 side, none of the connection terminals can pass through the hook 25b. At this time, the lock is applied and the charging cable device 1 can be prevented from being stolen.
　すなわち、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構では、盗難防止用の鍵を用いずに、充電ケーブル装置１に対し、ケーブル１３部分の可動性を保ちつつ盗難を防止することができる。また、溝３６及びフック２５ｂにケーブル１３を通す作業は、暗闇あるいは作業者が手袋を着用した状態であっても容易に行うことができ、さらに、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構を実現するには、溝３６及びフック２５ｂを形成するだけでよく、製造コストを抑えることができる。 That is, the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment can prevent theft while maintaining the mobility of the cable 13 with respect to the charging cable 1 without using the antitheft key. Further, the operation of passing the cable 13 through the groove 36 and the hook 25b can be easily performed even in the dark or in a state where the operator wears a glove, and further, the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment is realized. To do this, it is only necessary to form the grooves 36 and the hooks 25b, which can reduce the manufacturing cost.
　また、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構では、ドア２５のウェザーストリップ２５ｃの外側のみに構成されているため、水などが車室内に入ることを防ぐことができる。 In addition, in the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment, water or the like can be prevented from entering the vehicle compartment because the door is formed only on the outside of the weather strip 25c of the door 25.
　なお上述では、十分に大きな溝３６にケーブル１３の往復２回分を通すものとして説明したが、本実施例では、実施例１～３と同様のケーブル１本を通す溝を、往復分２つ形成するものとしてもよい。 In the above description, it has been described that the reciprocation of the cable 13 is made to pass through the sufficiently large groove 36 twice, but in the present embodiment, two reciprocation grooves for forming one reciprocation cable as in the first to third embodiments are formed. It is also possible to
　また、上述では、車両２のボデー２２における運転席２４側のドア２５の開閉位置にある開口下端部２２ｂに溝３６が形成されるものとしたが、本実施例はこれに限定されるものではなく、いずれのドアの開閉位置にある開口下端部であってもよい。ただし、運転席２４側に溝３６を形成することで、充電ケーブル装置１を外し忘れたまま発車することを防ぐことができる。 In the above description, the groove 36 is formed in the opening lower end 22b of the body 22 of the vehicle 2 at the opening and closing position of the door 25 on the driver's seat 24 side, but this embodiment is limited to this Instead, it may be the open lower end portion in any door open / close position. However, by forming the groove 36 on the driver's seat 24 side, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from leaving with the charging cable device 1 forgotten.

　溝３７は、ドア２５の下端（開口下端部２２ｂ）に形成されており、ドア２５の閉状態において、車両２の車室内と車室外とを連通する貫通口となる（図１０では、ドア２５の開状態を表している）。この貫通口は、ケーブル１３は自在に通過することが可能であり、かつ、ケーブル１３よりも大径である充電ガン１２及び充電プラグ１４は通過することができない径（形状）であるものとする。 The groove 37 is formed at the lower end (the lower end 22b of the opening) of the door 25, and when the door 25 is in a closed state, the groove 37 serves as a through hole communicating the vehicle interior of the vehicle 2 and the vehicle exterior (in FIG. Represents the open state of The through hole is a diameter (shape) through which the cable 13 can freely pass and the charging gun 12 and the charging plug 14 which are larger in diameter than the cable 13 can not pass through. .
　本実施例では、車両２の車室内に充電リッド２１が設けられている（図１に相当）ものとし、作業者は、ケーブル１３を溝３７に通し、ドア２５を閉状態として（すなわち、ケーブル１３を上述の貫通口に通している状態として）、充電ガン１２を充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に、充電プラグ１４を給電装置４（図１０では省略）に、それぞれ接続し、車両２に対し充電を行う。 In the present embodiment, the charging lid 21 is provided in the compartment of the vehicle 2 (corresponding to FIG. 1), and the operator passes the cable 13 through the groove 37 and closes the door 25 (that is, the cable The charging gun 12 is connected to the charging port covered by the charging lid 21 and the charging plug 14 is connected to the power feeding device 4 (not shown in FIG. 10), respectively. Charge against
　このように車両２に対し充電を行うことで、ケーブル１３部分は、上記貫通口を通して自在に可動させることができ、一方で、車室内にある充電ガン１２（接続端子）は、上記貫通口を通ることができない状態となる。したがって、充電ケーブル装置１を引き抜くことができず、充電ケーブル装置１の盗難を防止することができる。 By charging the vehicle 2 in this manner, the cable 13 portion can be freely moved through the through hole, while the charging gun 12 (connection terminal) in the vehicle compartment is connected to the through hole. It will be in the state which can not pass. Therefore, the charging cable device 1 can not be pulled out, and the theft of the charging cable device 1 can be prevented.
　すなわち、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構では、盗難防止用の鍵を用いずに、充電ケーブル装置１に対し、ケーブル１３部分の可動性を保ちつつ盗難を防止することができる。また、溝３７にケーブル１３を通す作業は、暗闇あるいは作業者が手袋を着用した状態であっても容易に行うことができ、さらに、本実施例に係る充電ケーブル装置ロック機構を実現するには、溝３３を形成するだけでよく、製造コストを抑えることができる。 That is, the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment can prevent theft while maintaining the mobility of the cable 13 with respect to the charging cable 1 without using the antitheft key. Further, the operation of passing the cable 13 through the groove 37 can be easily performed even in the dark or in a state where the operator wears a glove. Furthermore, to realize the charging cable lock mechanism according to the present embodiment , The groove 33 may be formed, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
　なお上述では、車両２の車室内に充電リッド２１が設けられている（図１に相当）ものとして説明したが、本実施例では、ボデー２２の表面に充電リッド２１が設けられている（図２に相当）場合にも、溝３７と同様の溝（図示略）をもう一つ形成し、ケーブル１３を２つの溝に通すことで、充電ガン１２を充電リッド２１に覆われた充電口に接続するようにしてもよい。 In the above description, the charging lid 21 is provided in the interior of the vehicle 2 (corresponding to FIG. 1), but in the present embodiment, the charging lid 21 is provided on the surface of the body 22 (see FIG.
