- the stopper 72 is mechanically connected to the male connector 58 via the battery lock mechanism 26 and the connector holder 56.
- Battery lock mechanism 26 has link bar 48 and cam 70 as described above. Therefore, it can also be said that the stopper 72 is mechanically connected to the male connector 58 by the link bar 48 , the cam 70 and the connector holder 56 .
- the link bar 48 transmits to the cam 70 the Z-axis movement of the connector holder 56 moving together with the male connector 58 .
- the cam 70 converts movement of the link bar 48 in the Z-axis direction into movement of the stopper 72 in the Y-axis direction.
- the stopper 72 is mechanically connected to the drive section (motor 60, pinion 601 and rack 563) by the link bar 48, cam 70 and connector holder 56.
- the common motor 60 can be used as a drive source for moving the male connector 58 in the Z-axis direction and a drive source for moving the stopper 72 in the Y-axis direction. Therefore, since the number of drive sources can be reduced, the manufacturing cost of the slot 14 can be suppressed.
- the term "mechanically connected” does not only refer to a state of being connected by a rigid body such as the link bar 48, but also includes a state of being connected by meshing of a plurality of gears or the like.
- the timing at which the male connector 58 moves and the timing at which the stopper 72 moves may not match.
- the male connector 58 and the stopper 72 are mechanically connected to each other so that the stopper 72 interlocks with the male connector 58 . Therefore, the timing of movement of the male connector 58 and the timing of movement of the stopper 72 can be reliably matched.
- the battery lock mechanism 26 including the link bar 48 is longer than the mobile battery 12 held in the slot sleeve 22. Therefore, the stopper 72 can be arranged in the +Z-axis direction from the mobile battery 12 . As a result, when the mobile battery 12 is pulled out in the +Z-axis direction while the battery lock mechanism 26 is in the locked state, the stopper 72 comes into contact with the upper surface 121 of the mobile battery 12 . Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a groove or the like that engages with the stopper 72 on the side surface 123 , side surface 124 , side surface 125 or side surface 126 of the mobile battery 12 .
- the camshaft 75 is positioned at the second parallel portion 703 of the cam slit 701 of the cam 70 . At this time, even if force in the +Y-axis direction acts on the stopper 72, movement of the stopper 72 in the +Y-axis direction is restricted. As a result, the battery lock mechanism 26 can be prevented from being unlocked.
- the retention detection switch 46 When the retention detection switch 46 switches from ON to OFF, the retention detection switch 46 detects that the mobile battery 12 has been removed from the slot 14 . In this case, as shown in FIG. 14, the motor 60 moves the male connector 58 together with the connector holder 56 in the -Z-axis direction. This separates the male connector 58 from the female connector 49 of the mobile battery 12 . Movement of the connector holder 56 in the ⁇ Z-axis direction is transmitted to the cam 70 of the battery lock mechanism 26 via the link bar 48 . As shown in FIG. 17, movement of the cam 70 in the -Z-axis direction causes the stopper 72 to move in the +Y-axis direction. As a result, the battery lock mechanism 26 is unlocked.
- the holding detection switch 46 When the holding detection switch 46 is off, the holding detection switch 46 does not detect that the mobile battery 12 is held in the slot 14. In this case, motor 60 does not move male connector 58 in the +Z-axis direction. Thereby, the male connector 58 does not approach the female connector 49 of the mobile battery 12 .
