Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To securely realize an electric connection irrespective of an error in shaping and an error in assembling. SOLUTION: A terminal table 10 on which terminals 11 and 11 for charging, a terminal 12 for detecting the temperatures, and a terminal 13 for communication are respectively arranged is forced to an upper limit position where a base plate 14 contacts a rear side of a rear part 9, owing to a projection 16 projected from a lower side of the base plate 14 as well as owing to a coil spring 24 whose both ends are retained between pins 23 elevated from a terminal base 21. The whole of the terminal table 10 is elastically supported in such a condition that the terminal table is floating above the terminal base 21.

However, if a molding error or an assembly error occurs in a housing of an electric tool, a charger, a battery pack, or the like, there is a possibility that the positions of the terminals with respect to the guide rail and the slide rail may be shifted. . In particular, the terminal may be provided with a communication terminal in addition to the positive / negative charge / discharge terminal so that the charger side can notify the charge amount or the like of the battery pack, but the communication terminal often has a connector shape. Therefore, if such a displacement occurs, the connection itself becomes impossible.

When the battery pack 30 is charged, the charger 1 configured as described above applies the slide rails 33, 33 of the battery pack 30 between the guide rails 6, 6 of the connecting portion 5, and the battery pack 30 is directly charged. 3
When the first stoppers 39, 39 are slid forward until they come into contact with the rear ends of the guide rails 6, 6, the charging terminals 11, 11 and the temperature detecting terminal 12 of the terminal block 10 are respectively connected to the base end of the battery pack 30. The slits 37, 37 are electrically connected to the corresponding charging / discharging terminals 35, 35 and the temperature detecting terminal 36, respectively, and the communication terminals 13, 38 are also electrically connected to each other as shown in FIG. However, since the terminal block 10 is elastically protruded from the rear portion 9 by the coil spring 24 at the substantially center, the guide rails 6 and 6 of the charger 1 and the slide rail of the battery pack 30 may be formed due to a molding error or an assembly error. Even if the positions of the terminals with respect to each other are displaced with respect to 33, the terminal block 10 slightly moves in the direction intersecting the sliding direction of the battery pack 30 in the opening 22. The difference can be absorbed, both even communication terminals 13,38 of the connector shape can be reliably electrically connected. Therefore, stability and reliability at the time of connection are improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, since the fine movement can be obtained widely in multiple directions intersecting with the elastic support by the coil spring 24, the error can be effectively dealt with, which is preferable. Especially here,
Since the terminal block 10 is pressed against the rear portion 9 by the coil spring 24, the dimensions of each terminal from the upper surface of the rear portion 9 are easy to take, and the structure is simple. In addition, since the terminal block 10 has such a support structure, the terminal block 10 does not have any connection with the upper case 3 at the time of assembling. Only 3 can be completely removed. Therefore, it is easy to assemble and disassemble, and there is no possibility of pinching of the lead wire.

On the other hand, in the above embodiment, the terminal block 1 of the charger 1
Although 0 is finely movable, the present invention is also applicable to a terminal block on the power tool side. FIG. 7 shows the battery pack 30.
Similarly, the handle 41 of the power tool 40 for sliding mounting
(The upper side shows the side surface and the lower side shows the bottom surface), and the handle 41 is moved in the sliding direction of the battery pack 30 (FIG. 7).
Guide rails 42, 42 for holding the slide rails 33, 33 of the battery pack 30 are formed on both lower ends of the handle 41. Overhang portions 43 are respectively provided to extend over the entire length of the inner lower edge of the guide rail 42.
Reference numeral 45 denotes a terminal block, which is fitted in a holding hole 44 formed on the bottom surface of the handle 41 in an assembled state. Positive and negative terminal plates 46, 46 project from the lower surface in parallel with the guide rail. The terminal block 45 has a retaining portion 47 formed on the upper edge of the terminal block 45 and slightly larger than the holding hole 44 and located on the inner side of the handle 41 to prevent the terminal block 45 from falling off. Rib 4 standing upright
The immersion into the handle 41 is regulated by 8, 48. Further, here, the holding hole 44 is formed with the dimension of the plus side of the tolerance and the terminal block 45 is formed with the dimension of the minus side of the tolerance, and the terminal block 45 is formed in the holding hole 44 in the left-right direction orthogonal to the guide rail 42. It can be fine-tuned.

Therefore, when the battery pack 30 is mounted on the power tool 40, the slide rails 33 of the battery pack 30 are connected to the guide rail 4 of the handle 41.
When slide is applied between the guide rails 42 and 42, as shown in FIG.
Can hold the slide rails 33, 33,
Simultaneously with this mounting, the terminal plates 46, 46 of the terminal block 45 enter the slits 37, 37 of the battery pack 30, and are electrically connected to the charging / discharging terminals 35, 35. Here, the terminal block 45 is also mounted on the power tool 40 so that the terminal block 45 can be finely moved to the left and right. Also, the error can be absorbed by the fine movement of the terminal block 45, and the terminals can be surely electrically connected between the electric tool 40 and the battery pack 30. In particular, since this structure does not use an elastic body such as a coil spring for fine movement of the terminal block 45, the structure can be simplified as compared with the terminal block 10 of the charger 1 and is preferable in terms of cost.

In the above embodiment, the terminal block 10 of the charger 1
Is elastically supported by the coil spring 24, but the power tool 4
A fine movement using a tolerance such as 0 may be used. Conversely, in the electric tool 40, a communication terminal is not provided, so that a simple movement can be performed with a tolerance. The terminal block 45 may be elastically supported in the handle 41 using an elastic body such as the above. Further, the elastic body such as a coil spring can be provided not only at the center of the terminal block but also at the left and right. Further, in the above embodiment, the terminal of the battery pack is fixed, and the terminal of the charger and the power tool are finely moved. However, the terminal of the battery pack can be finely moved by the present invention, and the terminal of the charger and the power tool are fixed. It is good.
