Description

Containment device

The present invention relates to a housing device that holds electrical equipment.

International Publication No. 2020/262630 discloses a holding device for holding electrical equipment. In this holding device, the opening of the slot (receiving portion) faces vertically upward rather than horizontally. Therefore, in the slot, the upper end of the opening is positioned higher than the upper end of the bottom. That is, the slot is in a slanted position that rises from the bottom toward the opening. International Publication No. 2020/262630 exemplifies a power storage device (mobile battery) as an electrical device detachably housed in a slot.

When the storage device is installed outdoors, the storage device is provided with the cover member shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 of International Publication No. 2020/262630. The lid member closes the opening of the slot. As a result, rainwater or the like is prevented from entering the slot.

When the user replaces electrical equipment, the lid member can be opened even in the middle of rain. Even at this time, it is necessary to minimize the possibility of rainwater or the like entering the slot.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a housing device for housing an electrical device having a first electrical terminal, comprising a housing section for detachably housing the electrical device, wherein the housing section includes an opening and the A cylindrical portion having an opening formed therein and a bottom portion connected to the cylindrical portion form a bottomed cylindrical shape, and a second electrical terminal to which the first electrical terminal is detachably connected is provided in the accommodating portion. Alternatively, a through-hole through which the second electric terminal passes so as to move back and forth is formed in the accommodating portion, and is arranged between the outer surface of the electric device accommodated in the accommodating portion and the inner surface of the accommodating portion. and an extending portion provided so as to extend in a first direction intersecting the outer surface of the electric device, the extending portion extending between the second electric terminal or the through hole and the opening. A storage device is provided that is arranged at a position where the distance between the extension and the opening is less than the distance.

In the present invention, "accommodation" is not limited to the case where the entire electrical equipment is accommodated. For example, a state in which a portion of the electrical device is housed in the housing portion and a portion of the electrical device is exposed from the housing portion is also included in the state of being “housed in the housing portion”.

Rainwater or the like that has entered through the opening of the storage portion flows along the inner surface of the storage portion into the interior of the storage portion. Alternatively, rainwater or the like flows along the outer surface of the electrical equipment housed in the housing and into the housing. Here, in the present invention, the extending portion is arranged at a position closer to the opening of the accommodating portion than the second electrical terminal provided in the accommodating portion. The extending portion may be arranged at a position closer to the opening of the accommodating portion than the through hole formed in the accommodating portion. The extending portion narrows the space between the inner surface of the accommodating portion provided with the extending portion and the outer surface of the electric device. Therefore, rainwater or the like is dammed up by the extended portion.

As a result, rainwater or the like is suppressed from reaching the second electrical terminal. Thereby, the second electrical terminal can be protected from rainwater or the like.

"High position" and "low position" in the following description represent relative up and down when comparing the height positions of two components. Therefore, a component located relatively upward may be referred to as a "high-position component". A component positioned relatively downward may be referred to as a “low-position component”. However, "high position" and "low position" do not necessarily mean that they are arranged vertically along the vertical direction.

FIG. 1 is a schematic external view of the battery exchange machine 10 (accommodating device) according to the first embodiment. A mobile battery 12 (electrical device) is detachably accommodated inside the battery exchanger 10 . The battery exchange 10 is a device that charges a mobile battery 12 housed therein. The user pushes the mobile battery 12 with a low state of charge (SOC) into the battery exchange machine 10 . The user pulls out another fully charged mobile battery 12 from the battery exchange 10 .

The battery exchange 10 has eight slots 14 (receiving portions) and one operation panel 16 . A mobile battery 12 is accommodated in each of the eight slots 14 . When the user puts the mobile battery 12 into one slot 14 , the battery exchange machine 10 starts charging the mobile battery 12 put into the slot 14 .

The slot 14 opens at the front surface 101 of the battery exchange machine 10 . The front surface 101 of the battery exchange machine 10 is inclined with respect to the vertical direction (the direction of gravity). When the user stands upright toward the front surface 101, the top of the front surface 101 is located farther from the user than the bottom of the front surface 101 is. As a result, when the user inserts the mobile battery 12 into the slot 14, the user leans forward. Therefore, it is easy for the user to insert the mobile battery 12 into the slot 14 .

The operation panel 16 is a device operated by the user. By operating the operation panel 16, the user pays a fee, for example.

FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the battery changer 10. FIG. The battery changer 10 has a controller 18 above the slots 14 . The control device 18 controls the battery exchange machine 10 . The battery changer 10 has a utility space 20 below the slots 14 . A cooling device or the like is installed in the utility space 20 as an option. The cooling device cools the inside of the battery exchange machine 10 .

Below, the battery exchange machine 10 will be described based on the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis defined as follows. The direction in which the mobile battery 12 is inserted into and removed from the slot 14 is defined as the Z-axis direction. That is, the Z-axis direction corresponds to the insertion/removal direction of the present invention. In the Z-axis direction, the direction from the innermost part of the slot 14 toward the opening is defined as +Z-axis direction. The +Z-axis direction is the withdrawal direction in which the mobile battery 12 is removed from the slot 14 . The −Z-axis direction is the opposite direction to the +Z-axis direction. The −Z-axis direction is the direction in which the mobile battery 12 is inserted into the slot 14 .

The direction parallel to the width direction of the battery exchanger 10 is defined as the X-axis direction. When the user stands facing the front face 101 of the battery exchange machine 10, the right hand side in the X-axis direction is the +X-axis direction. The −X-axis direction is the opposite direction to the +X-axis direction and is the left-hand side in the X-axis direction. A direction orthogonal to the Z-axis and the X-axis is defined as the Y-axis direction. In the Y-axis direction, the upper side is the +Y-axis direction. In the Y-axis direction, the lower side is the -Y-axis direction. The Y-axis direction corresponds to the first direction of the invention. The X-axis direction corresponds to the second direction of the invention.

[Mobile battery configuration]
The first embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the mobile battery 12 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is used as an electric device. The configuration of this mobile battery 12 will be described. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the mobile battery 12. FIG. FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the mobile battery 12. FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the mobile battery 12 has a bottom case 121, a main case 122, and a top case 123. The bottom case 121 constitutes the bottom surface 12 a of the mobile battery 12 .

As shown in FIG. 3, the top case 123 constitutes the upper surface 12b of the mobile battery 12. A handle 24 is provided on the upper surface 12b. The handle 24 has a first grip portion 241 and a second grip portion 242 . The user mainly grips the first grip portion 241 to insert or remove the mobile battery 12 from the slot 14 .

The mobile battery 12 has a side 12c, a side 12d, a side 12e and a side 12f. The bottom surface 12 a , top surface 12 b , side surface 12 c , side surface 12 d , side surface 12 e and side surface 12 f constitute the outer surface of the mobile battery 12 .

A side surface 12d, which is one of the outer surfaces, has an outwardly convex curved shape. That is, the outer surface of the mobile battery 12 has a convex side surface 12d that protrudes toward an upper inner surface 221 (described later) of the slot sleeve 26 . This side surface 12d is the first curved surface portion. Moreover, the side surface 12c, the side surface 12e, and the side surface 12f are substantially planar. Therefore, the outer shape of the mobile battery 12 is rotationally asymmetric with respect to the axis CE shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 . Axis CE is a line passing through the center of mobile battery 12 and extending along the longitudinal direction of mobile battery 12 . Axis CE coincides with the insertion/removal direction of mobile battery 12 . The Z-axis direction is the direction in which the mobile battery 12 is inserted into the slot sleeve 26 and the direction in which the mobile battery 12 is pulled out from the slot sleeve 26 . Although the entire side surface 12d is curved in the illustrated example, a portion of the side surface 12d may be partially curved.

When the mobile battery 12 is inserted into the slot sleeve 26, the side surface 12d faces vertically upward. Thus, in the first embodiment, the first curved surface portion is provided on the side surface 12 d of the outer surface of the mobile battery 12 that faces vertically upward within the slot sleeve 26 .

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a connector 28 (female connector 28) as a first electrical terminal is exposed on the bottom surface 12a. The connector 28 has female electrical terminals for transmitting and receiving power and female communication terminals for transmitting and receiving communication signals. That is, the connector 28 serves as both an electrical terminal and a communication terminal. The connector 28 is provided in the recess 12g of the bottom surface 12a. That is, the connector 28 is provided at a position slightly closer to the top case 123 than the bottom surface 12a. The connector 28 extends from the center of the bottom surface 12a to the end where the second grip 242 is provided. A female connector 28 is sometimes called a receptacle.

Next, the configuration of the battery exchange 10, which is a storage device, will be described.

[Overall configuration of slots]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the slot 14 is provided in the battery exchange 10 in an inclined posture such that the opening for inserting and removing the mobile battery 12 is higher than the bottom. The configuration of this slot 14 will be described. 5 is a perspective view of slot 14. FIG. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the mobile battery 12 is not inserted into the slot 14. FIG. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of slot 14 . FIG. 6 shows a state in which the mobile battery 12 is inserted into the slot 14. FIG. The overall configuration of the slot 14 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG.

The slot 14 has a slot sleeve 26 and a battery locking mechanism 30, as shown in FIG.

The slot sleeve 26 holds the mobile battery 12. The slot sleeve 26 has a slot body 29 , slot flanges 31 , slot stays 32 and slot guides 34 . The slot body 29 includes a bottom cover 36 .

The slot body 29 has a bottomed tubular shape having a bottom portion 29a and a tubular portion 29b. The cylindrical portion 29b extends along the Z-axis direction, which is the insertion/removal direction of the mobile battery 12 . Therefore, the cylindrical portion 29b surrounds the outer circumference of the mobile battery 12 accommodated in the slot sleeve 26. As shown in FIG.

The cylindrical portion 29b has four side plates, a lower plate 26a, an upper plate 26b, a left plate 26c and a right plate 26d. Each of the lower plate 26a, the upper plate 26b, the left plate 26c, and the right plate 26d is a plate material made of aluminum, for example. The lower plate 26a, the upper plate 26b, the left plate 26c, and the right plate 26d are fastened with bolts or the like to form a cylindrical portion 29b of the slot sleeve 26. As shown in FIG. The cylindrical portion 29b is a hollow body having a substantially quadrangular prism shape. Therefore, when the slot body 29 is viewed from the Z-axis direction, the cylindrical portion 29b has a substantially rectangular outer shape. The cylindrical portion 29b may be a hollow body having a substantially cylindrical shape. In this case, when the slot body 29 is viewed from the Z-axis direction, the cylindrical portion 29b has a substantially circular outer shape.

The cylindrical portion 29b has an inner surface. The inner surfaces of the cylindrical portion 29b are four surfaces of the lower plate 26a, the upper plate 26b, the left side plate 26c, and the right side plate 26d facing inward of the cylindrical portion 29b. Hereinafter, the surface of the lower plate 26a that faces the inner side of the cylindrical portion 29b is referred to as a lower inner surface 220. As shown in FIG. In the upper plate 26b, the surface facing the inside of the cylindrical portion 29b is referred to as an upper inner surface 221. As shown in FIG. A left inner surface 222 of the left side plate 26c faces the inside of the cylindrical portion 29b. A surface of the right side plate 26d that faces the inside of the cylindrical portion 29b is referred to as a right inner surface 223. As shown in FIG.

The cylindrical portion 29b has an outer surface. The outer surfaces are four surfaces of the lower plate 26a, the upper plate 26b, the left plate 26c, and the right plate 26d facing outward of the cylindrical portion 29b.

The bottom portion 29a continues to the cylindrical portion 29b. The bottom portion 29a has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface is the surface facing the inside of the slot body 29 . The outer surface is the surface of the slot body 29 facing outward. Hereinafter, the inner surface of the bottom portion 29a is referred to as a bottom inner surface 231. As shown in FIG. An outer surface of the bottom portion 29 a is referred to as a bottom outer surface 232 . The inner surface of the slot sleeve 26 has a lower inner surface 220, an upper inner surface 221, a left inner surface 222 and a right inner surface 223 of the tubular portion 29b, and a bottom inner surface 231 of the bottom portion 29a. The outer surface of the slot sleeve 26 has the outer surface of the tubular portion 29b and the bottom outer surface 232 of the bottom portion 29a.

The bottom inner surface 231 stops the mobile battery 12 inserted into the slot body 29 . That is, the bottom inner surface 231 of the bottom portion 29a is the insertion end point of the mobile battery 12 .

A through hole 80 penetrating from the bottom inner surface 231 to the bottom outer surface 232 is formed in the bottom portion 29a. A connector 56 (described later) as a second electrical terminal passes through the through hole 80 . When the mobile battery 12 is inserted into the slot body 29, the connector 56 passes through the through hole 80 so as to move from the -Z axis direction to the +Z axis direction. In this case, the connector 56 enters the inside of the slot body 29 from the outside of the slot body 29 . On the other hand, when the mobile battery 12 is pulled out from the slot main body 29, the connector 56 passes through the through hole 80 from the +Z-axis direction to the -Z-axis direction. In this case, the connector 56 extends from the inside of the slot body 29 to the outside of the slot body 29 .

The distance between the through hole 80 and the upper plate 26b is smaller than the distance between the lower plate 26a and the through hole 80. Therefore, the through hole 80 is closer to the upper plate 26b than to the lower plate 26a. In other words, the through hole 80 is provided at a position higher than the middle position in the vertical direction of the bottom portion 29a.

As shown in FIG. 7, the lower plate 26a of the slot body 29 is formed with five drainage holes 69 that communicate the internal space and the external space of the slot body 29. As shown in FIG. Three drain holes 69 are formed at positions closer to the −Z-axis direction than the center of the lower plate 26a in the Z-axis direction. Also, two drain holes 69 are formed at positions closer to the +Z-axis direction than the center in the Z-axis direction of the lower plate 26a. As shown in FIG. 2, the −Z-axis direction side of the slot 14 is positioned lower (vertically below) than the +Z-axis direction side of the slot 14 . Therefore, most of the liquid that has entered the slot 14 is drained from the three drain holes 69 formed at positions closer to the -Z axis direction than the center of the lower plate 26a.

As described above, the slot body 29 is a cylindrical member. As shown in FIG. 6, the slot body 29 has a holding space 281 inside. The holding space 281 is a hole passing through the slot body 29 in the Z-axis direction. When the mobile battery 12 is held in the slot 14 , most of the mobile battery 12 is held in this holding space 281 .

When the slot body 29 is viewed from the Z-axis direction, the outer shape of the slot body 29 is substantially rectangular. The slot body 29 has an opening 286 at the end in the +Z-axis direction and an opening 287 at the end in the -Z-axis direction.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the slot flange 31 is attached to the +Z-axis direction opening 286 of the slot body 29 . A slot stay 32 is attached to the slot flange 31 in the +Z-axis direction.

The slot stay 32 has an insertion opening 321. The insertion port 321 is a hole passing through the slot stay 32 in the Z-axis direction. When the slot stay 32 is viewed from the Z-axis direction, the insertion opening 321 is substantially rectangular. The insertion opening 321 is connected to the holding space 281 of the slot body 29 .

A door 38 is attached to the slot stay 32 as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 6, door 38 is provided rotatably about shaft 381 . The shaft 381 is attached to the +Y-axis direction side of the slot stay 32 . The door 38 is closed when the mobile battery 12 is not inserted into the slot 14 . At this time, the door 38 closes the opening 286 on the +Z-axis direction side of the slot body 29 . When the mobile battery 12 is inserted into the slot 14, the mobile battery 12 pushes the door 38 in the -Z-axis direction. As a result, the door 38 rotates around the shaft 381 and opens. At this time, the door 38 opens the opening 286 on the +Z-axis direction side of the slot body 29 .

That is, when the mobile battery 12 is not housed in the slot sleeve 26, the door 38 is closed. Conversely, the door 38 opens inside the slot body 29 while the mobile battery 12 is being accommodated in the slot sleeve 26 . In this state, mobile battery 12 is further inserted into slot body 29 . The door 38 corresponds to the door portion of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the battery lock mechanism 30 is attached to the +Y-axis direction side of the slot stay 32 . When the battery lock mechanism 30 is in the locked state, the battery lock mechanism 30 restricts movement of the mobile battery 12 in the +Z-axis direction. This prevents the user from pulling out the mobile battery 12 from the slot 14 . When the battery lock mechanism 30 is in the unlocked state, the battery lock mechanism 30 allows the mobile battery 12 to move in the +Z-axis direction. Thereby, the user can pull out the mobile battery 12 from the slot 14 .

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a slot guide 34 is attached to the +Z-axis direction side of the slot stay 32 . The slot guide 34 has an insertion opening 341 . The insertion port 341 is a hole penetrating the slot guide 34 in the Z-axis direction. When the slot guide 34 is viewed from the Z-axis direction, the insertion opening 341 is substantially rectangular. The insertion port 341 is connected to the insertion port 321 of the slot stay 32 .

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the bottom cover 36 is attached to the opening 287 of the slot body 29 on the -Z-axis direction side. The bottom cover 36 constitutes the bottom portion 29 a of the slot body 29 . As shown in FIG. 6, a connector unit 40, a fan 42, an electronic circuit board 44, and a detection switch 46 are attached to the bottom cover 36. As shown in FIG. A bottom cover assembly 50 is configured with the connector unit 40 , the fan 42 , the electronic circuit board 44 and the detection switch 46 attached to the bottom cover 36 . The bottom cover assembly 50 will be detailed later.

[Door configuration]
As shown in FIG. 6 , the door 38 is rotatably provided around a shaft 381 . Shaft 381 is attached to slot body 29 . Shaft 381 extends in the X-axis direction. That is, the shaft 381 extends along the second direction intersecting with the direction (Z-axis direction) in which the mobile battery 12 is inserted into and removed from the slot sleeve 26 . The shaft 381 is arranged in the +Y-axis direction from the mobile battery 12 housed in the slot sleeve 26 . That is, the shaft 381 is positioned higher than the mobile battery 12 housed in the slot sleeve 26 . Thereby, when the mobile battery 12 is pulled out from the slot sleeve 26, the door 38 is closed by its own weight. The shaft 381 corresponds to the rotating shaft of the invention.

A torsion spring (not shown) provided on the shaft 381 urges the door 38 to rotate counterclockwise around the shaft 381 when viewed from the -X axis direction. Accordingly, when the mobile battery 12 is pulled out from the slot sleeve 26, the door 38 is pushed in the closing direction by the torsion spring. The door 38 is positioned at the first position when the mobile battery 12 is not accommodated in the slot sleeve 26 . At this time, the amount of blockage of the insertion opening 31c of the slot flange 31 by the door 38 is the largest.

When the door 38 is positioned at the first position, at least part of the door 38 is arranged on the trajectory along which the mobile battery 12 is inserted into and removed from the slot sleeve 26 . With the door 38 arranged in this manner, the door 38 is pushed open by the mobile battery 12 when the mobile battery 12 is inserted into the slot 14 . That is, the door 38 rotates in the opening direction against the biasing force of the torsion spring. As a result, the door 38 opens the insertion opening 31 c of the slot flange 31 . With the mobile battery 12 housed in the slot sleeve 26, the door 38 is positioned at the second position. At this time, the amount of blockage of the insertion opening 31c of the slot flange 31 by the door 38 is the smallest.

The door 38 is not limited to a door that opens and closes by rotating around the shaft 381. The door 38 may be a door that opens and closes by translating in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction.

As shown in FIG. 8, a roller 54 is provided on the side of the door 38 in the -Y-axis direction. Roller 54 is rotatably provided around shaft 55 .

As shown in FIG. 8, when the door 38 is open, the portion of the roller 54 closest to the +Z-axis direction is closer to the -Z-axis direction than the portion of the door 38 closest to the -Z-axis direction. That is, the distance between the portion of the roller 54 closest to the slot body 29 and the slot body 29 is smaller than the distance between the portion of the door 38 closest to the slot body 29 and the slot body 29 .

[Configuration of slot body]
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the slot body 29, the door 38, and the mobile battery 12. FIG. FIG. 8 shows a state in which the door 38 is open.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, the upper inner surface 221 located on the +Y-axis direction side of the slot body 29 is formed with a door retraction portion 57 . The door shunting portion 57 is recessed in the +Y-axis direction. With the mobile battery 12 housed in the slot sleeve 26, the door 38 retracts into the door retraction portion 57. - 特許庁The position of the door 38 at this time is the second position. The roller 54 abuts on the side surface 12 d of the mobile battery 12 while the door 38 is retracted within the door retraction portion 57 . As a result, the friction between the mobile battery 12 inserted into and removed from the slot 14 and the door 38 can be reduced. The door shunting portion 57 corresponds to the accommodation recess of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the door retraction portion 57 is provided with a rubber seal 90 . Another housing recess 88 is continuously provided in the door retracting portion 57 . Alternatively, a rubber seal 90 is provided in this receiving recess 88 .

As shown in FIG. 9, the rubber seal 90 is provided on the upper inner surface 221 of the cylindrical portion 29b. The upper inner surface 221 is a surface facing vertically downward among the inner surfaces of the cylindrical portion 29b. Moreover, the upper inner surface 221 is located at the highest position among the inner surfaces of the cylindrical portion 29b. Accordingly, the upper inner surface 221 corresponds to the first surface and the highest surface of the present invention. The rubber seal 90 extends from the upper inner surface 221 along the -Y axis direction. Note that the -Y-axis direction is vertically downward. That is, the extending direction of the rubber seal 90 is the direction toward the side surface 12 d (first curved surface portion) of the mobile battery 12 .

As can be understood from this, when the mobile battery 12 is accommodated in the slot sleeve 26, the side surface 12d of the mobile battery 12 faces the upper inner surface 221 of the slot sleeve 26. Accordingly, the upper inner surface 221 corresponds to the first surface of the invention, and the side surface 12d corresponds to the second surface of the invention.

The rubber seal 90 extends along a first direction and a second direction that intersect with the insertion/removal direction (Z-axis direction) of the mobile battery 12 . In the rubber seal 90, the extension length along the first direction is smaller than the extension length along the second direction. In the first embodiment, the first direction is the Y-axis direction and the second direction is the X-axis direction. Thus, the rubber seal 90 has a short extension length along the first direction (Y-axis direction) and a long extension length along the second direction (X-axis direction). The extension length of the rubber seal 90 along the X-axis direction is preferably longer than half the extension length of the mobile battery 12 along the X-axis direction. However, the extension length of the rubber seal 90 along the X-axis direction is preferably shorter than the extension length of the mobile battery 12 along the X-axis direction. Furthermore, the extension length of the rubber seal 90 along the X-axis direction is preferably longer than the length of the connector 56 or the through-hole 80 along the X-axis direction.

The rubber seal 90 is made of rubber, for example. Therefore, the rubber seal 90 exhibits flexibility throughout. Therefore, the longitudinal end (the end in the X-axis direction) and the extensional end (the end in the Y-axis direction) of the rubber seal 90 are flexible portions 96 exhibiting flexibility. Longitudinal end portions of the flexible portion 96 abut against X-axis direction end portions of the side surface 12 d of the mobile battery 12 . The extension direction end portion of the flexible portion 96 abuts on the +Y-axis direction end portion of the side surface 12d.

As described above, the rubber seal 90 extends from the upper inner surface 221 in the -Y-axis direction. Therefore, the extending direction of the rubber seal 90 along the first direction is the -Y-axis direction. The extension end 92 of the rubber seal 90 is the end of the rubber seal 90 in the −Y axis direction (first direction). In the first embodiment, the lower end of the rubber seal 90 corresponds to the end of the rubber seal 90 in the -Y axis direction.

The extension end 92 of the rubber seal 90 is curved following the curve of the side surface 12d (first curved surface portion) of the mobile battery 12. That is, the extended end 92 of the rubber seal 90 is formed with a curved portion 94 having a curved surface concave in the +Y-axis direction. In this manner, the extended end 92 of the rubber seal 90 is formed as a second curved surface portion that is recessed toward the upper inner surface 221 (first surface). In other words, the extended end 92 of the rubber seal 90 is concavely curved toward the first surface corresponding to the curvature of the side surface 12d. The end opposite to the extended end 92 of the rubber seal 90 is closest to the upper inner surface 221, which is the first surface.

The lower end (extending end 92 ) of the rubber seal 90 abuts on a portion of the side surface 12 d of the mobile battery 12 that is formed by the side surface of the bottom case 121 . Therefore, the ends in the longitudinal direction of the flexible portion 96 of the rubber seal 90 come into contact with the ends in the X-axis direction of the side surface (side surface 12 d ) of the bottom case 121 .

When the mobile battery 12 is inserted into the slot sleeve 26, the flexible portion 96 of the rubber seal 90 is pressed by the mobile battery 12 and bends in the -Z-axis direction. Therefore, the extended end 92 of the rubber seal 90 and the side surface 12d of the mobile battery 12 are sufficiently sealed.

In this case, the rubber seal 90 as a whole is positioned higher than the through hole 80 . Also, the distance from the rubber seal 90 to the insertion opening 31c is smaller than the distance from the through-hole 80 to the insertion opening 31c. Therefore, the rubber seal 90 as a whole is closer to the insertion port 31c than the through hole 80 is.

As shown in FIG. 10, an indicator 58 is provided on the side plate 31a of the slot flange 31 located in the -Y-axis direction. Indicator 58 indicates the state of charge of mobile battery 12 housed in slot 14 . For example, when the mobile battery 12 is being charged, the indicator 58 lights up or blinks. When charging of the mobile battery 12 is completed, the indicator 58 is extinguished. Alternatively, the display color of the indicator 58 when the mobile battery 12 is being charged may be different from the display color of the indicator 58 when the charging of the mobile battery 12 is finished.

[Configuration of bottom cover assembly]
11 and 12 are perspective views of the slot 14. FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, the bottom cover 36 is provided with a connector unit 40, a fan 42, an electronic circuit board 44, and a detection switch 46 (see FIG. 8). The bottom cover assembly 50 is thus constructed. A bottom cover assembly 50 is secured to the slot body 29 . A fan 42 facilitates airflow inside the slot sleeve 26 .

The connector unit 40 has a connector 56 (male connector 56) shown in FIG. 12 and a motor 60. The male connector 56 has a male electrical terminal for transmitting and receiving power and a male communication terminal for transmitting and receiving communication signals. That is, the connector 56 serves as both an electrical terminal and a communication terminal. Connectors 56 that are male are sometimes called plugs.

The connector 56 fits into the connector 28 of the mobile battery 12 . At this time, power is supplied from the connector 56 to the mobile battery 12 to charge the mobile battery 12 . Alternatively, the power of the mobile battery 12 is taken out through the connector 56 and the mobile battery 12 is discharged. Further, mobile battery 12 and control device 18 (see FIG. 2) provided inside battery exchange 10 are communicably connected via connector 28 and connector 56 . That is, communication signals are exchanged between the mobile battery 12 and the control device 18 .

The connector 56 advances or retreats along the Z-axis direction by the motor 60 . Specifically, the motor 60 has a rotating shaft (not shown). A rotating shaft extends from the motor 60 in the +Y-axis direction. A pinion 601 shown in FIG. 12 is attached to the tip of the rotating shaft. Pinion 601 meshes with rack 602 . Motor 60 is mechanically connected to connector 56 via pinion 601 , rack 602 and base 48 . Connector 56 and motor 60 are attached to bottom cover 36 via base 48 . The motor 60 is thereby supported by the bottom cover 36 .

- When the bottom cover 36 is viewed from the Z-axis direction, the detection switch 46, the fan 42, the base 48, the connector 56, the motor 60, the pinion 601, the rack 602, and the electronic circuit board 44 are located inside the outer edge of the bottom cover 36. arranged to fit. That is, the detection switch 46 , the fan 42 , the base 48 , the connector 56 , the motor 60 , the pinion 601 , the rack 602 and the electronic circuit board 44 are arranged within a projection range parallel to the outer edge of the bottom cover 36 . A parallel projection of the outer edge of the bottom cover 36 is a virtual area obtained by projecting the outer edge of the bottom cover 36 in the extending direction of the slot sleeve 26 (the insertion/removal direction of the mobile battery 12 or the Z-axis direction).

As a result, when the bottom cover 36 is attached to the slot body 29, the detection switch 46, the fan 42, the base 48, the connector 56, the motor 60, the pinion 601, the rack 602, and the electronic circuit board 44 interfere with surrounding members. can be suppressed.

The electronic circuit board 44 (see FIG. 11) controls charging of the mobile battery 12 housed in the slot sleeve 26, for example. A detection switch 46 is mounted on the electronic circuit of the electronic circuit board 44 . When the mobile battery 12 is held in the slot sleeve 26, the detection switch 46 is pushed down by the mobile battery 12 and switched from off to on.

[Slot control]
By driving the motor 60, the connector 56 moves in the Z-axis direction. When the detection switch 46 switches from off to on, the detection switch 46 detects that the mobile battery 12 is held in the slot sleeve 26 . In this case, the motor 60 moves the connector 56 in the +Z-axis direction to bring the connector 56 closer to the connector 28 of the mobile battery 12 .

When the detection switch 46 switches from on to off, the detection switch 46 detects that the mobile battery 12 has been removed from the slot sleeve 26 . In this case, the motor 60 moves the connector 56 in the −Z-axis direction to separate the connector 56 from the connector 28 of the mobile battery 12 .

When the detection switch 46 is off, the detection switch 46 does not detect that the mobile battery 12 is held in the slot sleeve 26. In this case, the motor 60 does not move the connector 56 in the +Z-axis direction and does not bring the connector 56 close to the connector 28 of the mobile battery 12 .

In the connector unit 40 of the first embodiment, the connector 56 is moved from the disconnection position to the connection position with the connector 28 by driving the motor 60 . Alternatively, the connector 56 is moved from the connection position to the disconnection position by driving the motor 60 .

FIG. 13A shows the state when the connector 56 is positioned at the disconnected position. When the connector 56 is located at the disconnection position, the tip of the connector 56 is positioned closer to the −Z axis direction from the bottom cover 36 as shown in FIG. 13A.

FIG. 13B shows a state in which the connector 56 has moved in the +Z-axis direction from the disconnected position. As shown in FIG. 13B , when the connector 56 moves in the +Z-axis direction from the disconnected position, the tip of the connector 56 passes through the through hole 80 of the bottom cover 36 . The tip of the connector 56 that has passed through the through hole 80 is inserted into the connector 28 of the mobile battery 12 .

FIG. 13C shows the state when the connector 56 is positioned at the connection position. As shown in FIG. 13C, when the connector 56 is positioned at the connection position, the connection between the connector 56 and the connector 28 of the mobile battery 12 is completed.

The battery exchange 10 according to the first embodiment is basically configured as described above. Next, the effect of the battery exchange machine 10 is demonstrated.

When the user replaces the mobile battery 12, the user grips the handle 24 (mainly the first grip portion 241) of the mobile battery 12 housed in the slot 14 of the battery exchanger 10 with one hand as described above. . At this time, the user selects a charged mobile battery 12 . The user can confirm by the indicator 58 whether the mobile battery 12 is being charged or has been charged.

It should be noted that the door 38 is in the second position when the mobile battery 12 is housed in the slot 14 (see FIG. 6). Therefore, the opening 286 of the slot body 29 is open. Therefore, the user can visually recognize the handle 24 through the insertion opening 31c.

Also, when the mobile battery 12 is housed in the slot 14 , the extended end 92 (lower end) of the rubber seal 90 is in contact with the bottom case 121 of the mobile battery 12 . This contact seals between the side surface 12d of the mobile battery 12 and the upper inner surface 221 of the upper plate 26b.

After that, the user applies a tensile force to the mobile battery 12. Accordingly, the battery lock mechanism 30 is unlocked. Also, the motor 60 drives in the connector unit 40 . As a result, the connector 56 moves from the connection position with the connector 28 to the disconnection position. Therefore, the user can easily pull out the mobile battery 12 from the slot 14 . Note that the connector 56 passes through the through hole 80 in the process of moving from the connection position to the disconnection position.

As the mobile battery 12 is pulled out from the slot 14 , the bottom case 121 comes into sliding contact with the extended end 92 of the rubber seal 90 . As described above, the end of the rubber seal 90 that contacts the bottom case 121 is the flexible portion 96 . Therefore, when the bottom case 121 slides against the extension end 92 of the rubber seal 90, the rubber seal 90 is easily bent. Therefore, damage to the rubber seal 90 is avoided. Also, the bottom case 121 is prevented from being damaged. Furthermore, since the pull-out resistance of the rubber seal 90 is small, it is not necessary to increase the tensile force applied to the mobile battery 12 .

When the mobile battery 12 is pulled out from the slot 14 and the bottom surface 12 a of the mobile battery 12 passes through the door 38 , the door 38 rotates about the shaft 381 . As a result, door 38 moves from the second position to the first position. Therefore, the opening 286 of the slot body 29 is closed.

Next, the user holds the handle 24 of the mobile battery 12 whose SOC has decreased with one hand. After that, the user picks up the mobile battery 12 . Further, the user places the other hand on the bottom case 121 to tilt the mobile battery 12 . At this time, the mobile battery 12 has the bottom case 121 at the low position and the top case 123 at the high position. The user inserts the bottom case 121 of the mobile battery 12 in the tilted posture into the insertion opening 31 c of the slot flange 31 .

In this state, the user pushes in the mobile battery 12. Thereby, the mobile battery 12 moves toward the bottom inner surface 231 . When the bottom case 121 pushes the door 38 during this movement, the door 38 rotates around the shaft 381 . That is, the door 38 moves from the first position to the second position.

Also, the bottom case 121 begins to come into sliding contact with the extended end 92 of the rubber seal 90 . As before, the rubber seal 90 is flexed at this time. Therefore, damage to the rubber seal 90 is avoided. Also, the bottom case 121 is prevented from being damaged. Furthermore, it is not necessary to increase the pushing force applied to the mobile battery 12 .

When it is detected that the bottom case 121 is stopped by the bottom inner surface 231, the battery lock mechanism 30 is locked. Also, the motor 60 drives in the connector unit 40 . As a result, the connector 56 moves from the disconnection position to the connection position with the connector 28 . As a result, connector 56 is mated with connector 28 . After that, charging of the mobile battery 12 is started. Note that the connector 56 passes through the through hole 80 in the process of moving from the disconnection position to the connection position.

By the way, the battery exchange 10 may be installed outdoors. In this case, there is a possibility that the mobile battery 12 will be replaced during rain as described above. The slot 14 has an inclined posture in which the insertion opening 31c faces vertically upward rather than horizontally. Therefore, rainwater may enter the slot 14 through the insertion opening 31c. When such a situation occurs, it is assumed that rainwater moves along the side surface 12 d of the mobile battery 12 toward the

connectors

28 and 56 .

Here, in the first embodiment, the side surface 12d of the mobile battery 12 is a convex curved first curved surface portion. Therefore, as indicated by arrow A in FIG. 9, rainwater flows toward side 12e or side 12f due to gravity while running along side 12d. Therefore, rainwater is suppressed from reaching the

connectors

28 and 56 .

Even if rainwater flows further toward the connector 28 and the connector 56, the rainwater is blocked by the rubber seal 90. In this case, since the extended end 92 of the rubber seal 90 is in contact with the bottom case 121, the space between the upper inner surface 221 and the side surface 12d is sealed. The course of rainwater blocked by the rubber seal 90 is changed to head toward the side surface 12e or the side surface 12f. Therefore, rainwater is further suppressed from reaching the

connectors

28 and 56 .

It should be noted that, for example, when the mobile battery 12 is not inserted into the slot 14, the connector 56 is positioned in the -Z-axis direction from the through hole 80. That is, connector 56 is not exposed within slot 14 . In this case, rainwater is suppressed from reaching the through holes 80 .

As described above, in the first embodiment, the rubber seal 90 is provided inside the slot 14 . This prevents rainwater from reaching the

connectors

28 and 56 . In other words, the rubber seal 90 provided inside the slot 14 protects the

connectors

28 and 56 from rainwater. Rainwater flowing along the side surface 12e or side surface 12f of the mobile battery 12 is drained to the external space of the slot body 29 through the drain hole 69, for example.

In the first embodiment, the installation position of the rubber seal 90 is not limited to the upper inner surface 221. That is, it is also possible to install the rubber seal 90 on the left inner surface 222 , the right inner surface 223 , or the lower inner surface 220 .

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. FIG. In addition, the same name may be given to the component same as the component in 1st Embodiment, and detailed description of the said component may be abbreviate|omitted.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 14, slot 400 has slot body 402 . The slot body 402 has a bottomed tubular shape with a bottom portion 404 and a tubular portion 406 . A bottom cover 408 is attached to the opening of the cylindrical portion 406 on the −Z axis side. A bottom cover 408 constitutes the bottom portion 404 .

The bottom cover 408 has a bottom inner surface 410 . Bottom inner surface 410 is one of the inner surfaces of slot body 402 . When mobile battery 12 is inserted into slot main body 402 , bottom inner surface 410 faces bottom surface 12 a of mobile battery 12 .

As shown in FIG. 15, the bottom inner surface 410 of the bottom cover 408 is provided with a first projecting portion 412a and a second projecting portion 412b. The first protrusion 412a and the second protrusion 412b protrude from the bottom inner surface 410 in the +Z-axis direction. The height positions in the Y-axis direction of the first projecting portion 412a and the second projecting portion 412b are substantially the same. The first projecting portion 412a is biased in the −X-axis direction, and the second projecting portion 412b is biased in the +X-axis direction. Thereby, a clearance 413 is formed between the first projecting portion 412a and the second projecting portion 412b.

In this case, the rubber seal 414 is joined to the first projecting portion 412a and the second projecting portion 412b, for example, through mechanical bonding or adhesive. The rubber seal 414 extends in the Y-axis direction, which is the first direction, from the +Y-side ends of the first projecting portion 412a and the second projecting portion 412b toward the -Y-axis direction. In the rubber seal 414, the lower end portion, which is the end portion in the -Y-axis direction, is the extended end 415 as in the first embodiment. The extension end 415 protrudes slightly in the -Y-axis direction from the -Y side ends of the first projecting portion 412a and the second projecting portion 412b. In addition, the rubber seal 414 extends from the −X side end of the first projecting portion 412a to the +X side end of the second projecting portion 412b in the X-axis direction, which is the second direction. Although not particularly illustrated, the rubber seal 414 may be provided with a filling portion that is inserted into the clearance 413 to fill the clearance 413 .

Thus, in the second embodiment as well, the rubber seal 414 extends in the Y-axis direction (first direction) and the X-axis direction (second direction) that intersect the insertion/removal direction (Z-axis direction) of the mobile battery 12. extend along. In the rubber seal 414, the extension length along the first direction is smaller than the extension length along the second direction. The extension length of the rubber seal 414 along the X-axis direction is preferably longer than half the extension length of the mobile battery 12 along the X-axis direction. However, the extension length of the rubber seal 414 along the X-axis direction is preferably shorter than the extension length of the mobile battery 12 along the X-axis direction. Furthermore, the length of the rubber seal 414 extending along the X-axis direction is preferably longer than the length of the connector 56 or the through-hole 80 along the X-axis direction.

In FIG. 14, the upper end surface of the rubber seal 414 is separated from the upper inner surface 221 of the slot body 402. However, the upper end surface of the rubber seal 414 may abut the upper inner surface 221 .

A door 416 is attached to the slot stay 32 as shown in FIG. Door 416 is rotatably provided around shaft 381 . The door 416 is closed when the mobile battery 12 is not inserted into the slot 14 . At this time, the door 416 closes the +Z-axis direction side opening of the slot body 402 . When the mobile battery 12 is inserted into the slot 14, the mobile battery 12 pushes the door 416 in the -Z-axis direction. As a result, the door 416 rotates around the shaft 381 and opens. At this time, the door 416 opens the +Z-axis direction side opening of the slot body 402 .

When the door 416 is opened, the −Z-axis side end of the door 416 substantially faces the rubber seal 414 . In this state, the −Z-axis side end of the door 416 and the rubber seal 414 are separated from each other.

An extension end 415 of the rubber seal 414 is curved following the curve of the side surface 12d (first curved surface portion) of the mobile battery 12. That is, a curved portion 418 having a curved surface concave in the +Y-axis direction is formed at the lower end portion (extending end 415) of the rubber seal 414. As shown in FIG. In this manner, the extended end 415 of the rubber seal 414 is formed as a second curved surface portion that is recessed toward the upper inner surface 221 (first surface) of the slot body 402 . In other words, the extended end 415 of the rubber seal 414 is concavely curved toward the upper inner surface 221, which is the first surface, corresponding to the curve of the side surface 12d.

The extended end 415 of the rubber seal 414 abuts on a portion of the side surface 12d of the mobile battery 12 that is formed by the side surface of the bottom case 121. Therefore, the longitudinal ends of the flexible portion 420 of the rubber seal 414 come into contact with the X-axis ends of the side surface (side surface 12 d ) of the bottom case 121 . The extension direction end portion of the flexible portion 420 abuts on the +Y-axis direction end portion of the side surface 12d.

When the mobile battery 12 is inserted into the slot 400, the flexible portion 420 of the rubber seal 414 is pressed by the mobile battery 12 and bends in the -Z-axis direction. Therefore, the extended end 415 of the rubber seal 414 and the side surface 12d of the mobile battery 12 are sufficiently sealed. Accordingly, in the second embodiment as well, rainwater or the like is prevented from reaching the connector 28 and the connector 56 . In other words, the rubber seal 414 provided inside the slot 400 can protect the

connectors

28 and 56 from rainwater. If the connector 56 is positioned in the −Z-axis direction from the through-hole 80 , rainwater is suppressed from reaching the through-hole 80 .

As the mobile battery 12 is pulled out from the slot 400 , the bottom case 121 comes into sliding contact with the extended end 415 of the rubber seal 414 . As in the first embodiment, the flexible portion 420 is the end of the rubber seal 414 that contacts the bottom case 121 . Therefore, when the bottom case 121 slides against the extended end 415 of the rubber seal 414, the rubber seal 414 is easily bent. Therefore, damage to the rubber seal 414 is avoided. Also, the bottom case 121 is prevented from being damaged. Furthermore, since the pull-out resistance of the rubber seal 414 is small, it is not necessary to increase the tensile force applied to the mobile battery 12 .

As described above, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained in the second embodiment as well.

In the second embodiment, the positions of the first projecting portion 412a and the second projecting portion 412b (installation position of the rubber seal 414) are not limited to the +Y-axis direction of the bottom inner surface 410. In other words, the installation position of the rubber seal 414 can also be the -Y axis direction of the bottom inner surface 410, the +X axis direction of the bottom inner surface 410, or the -X axis direction of the bottom inner surface 410.

In addition, in the above-described first and second embodiments, the connector 56 is provided so as to be movable forward and backward. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 16, the connector 56 may be positioned and secured to the bottom inner surface 231 (or the bottom inner surface 410).

The electric device is not limited to the mobile battery 12. For example, it is also possible to adopt a structure in which a power feeder in which the mobile battery 12 is detachably accommodated can be accommodated in the slot 14 .

The storage device is not limited to the battery exchange machine 10. Another example of a storage device is a device that inputs power to the mobile battery 12 . Specifically, it is a charging device, a charging/discharging device, or the like. The charging device, charging/discharging device, or the like may be of a movable type or may be of a stationary type.

The storage device may be a device that outputs power from the mobile battery 12. Examples of such storage devices include moving bodies such as electric vehicles, outboard motors, and aircraft. Electric vehicles include passenger vehicles such as two-wheeled vehicles, three-wheeled vehicles, and four-wheeled vehicles. Electric vehicles also include work vehicles such as lawn mowers, carts, and snow removers. Air vehicles include drones or aircraft. An outboard motor is a propulsion device used in a ship.

Another example of a storage device that outputs power is a power feeder that uses the mobile battery 12 as a power source. The power feeder may be of a movable type, or may be of a stationary type.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above disclosure, and can adopt various configurations without departing from the gist of the present invention.
