In order to solve the above-described problem, the locking device 1 of the invention according to this application uses a charging cable having a power receiving connector C connected to a power supply facility S at one end and connected to a battery of an electric vehicle at the other end. Inside, the power receiving connector C is fixed to the power supply equipment S, and the charging cable is locked so as not to be detached. The locking device 1 includes a housing 2 that is fixed adjacent to a connection portion S1 of the power supply facility S with the power receiving connector C, supports a clasp 5 in the housing 2, and is connected to the power supply facility S. The housing is movable between a restraining position where the engagement portion C4 of the power receiving connector C is approached to prevent the disengagement operation and a release position which is separated from the engagement portion C4 of the power receiving connector C and allows the disengagement operation. The lock 3 is fixed to 2, the stopper 5 is connected in the housing 2, and the stopper 5 is locked at the restraining position to lock the power receiving connector C.

図面を参照してこの発明の実施の形態を説明する。
図１，図２において受電コネクタＣは、電気自動車のバッテリへ接続される充電用ケーブルの一端に設けられている。受電コネクタＣは、本体Ｃ１を覆うグリップＣ２の後部上に露出した押圧部Ｃ３を備え、前部に給電設備Ｓとの係合部である下方に屈曲した係止鉤部Ｃ４を備える。押圧部Ｃ３と係止鉤部Ｃ４とはグリップＣ２内で結合し、ばねにより押圧部Ｃ３が上方へ、係止鉤部Ｃ４が下方へ付勢されている。受電コネクタＣを給電設備Ｓに押し込むことにより、係止鉤部Ｃ４が給電設備Ｓの係止突起Ｓ１を乗り越え、ロックレバーＣ３が弾性復帰することにより係止突起Ｓ１の背面に引っ掛かり受電コネクタＣの引き抜きを阻止する。一方、グリップＣ２上の押圧部Ｃ３をばねに抗して押し下げれば、係止鉤部Ｃ４が起き上がり給電設備Ｓの係止突起Ｓ１を回避して、受電コネクタＣの引き抜きを可能にする。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 and 2, the power receiving connector C is provided at one end of a charging cable connected to a battery of an electric vehicle. The power receiving connector C includes a pressing portion C3 exposed on the rear portion of the grip C2 that covers the main body C1, and includes a locking collar portion C4 that is bent downward as an engaging portion with the power supply equipment S at the front portion. The pressing part C3 and the locking hook part C4 are coupled within the grip C2, and the pressing part C3 is biased upward and the locking hook part C4 is biased downward by a spring. When the power receiving connector C is pushed into the power supply facility S, the locking hook C4 gets over the locking projection S1 of the power supply facility S, and when the lock lever C3 is elastically restored, it is hooked on the back surface of the locking projection S1. Stop pulling out. On the other hand, if the pressing part C3 on the grip C2 is pushed down against the spring, the locking collar part C4 rises and the locking projection S1 of the power feeding equipment S is avoided, and the power receiving connector C can be pulled out.

ロック装置１は、充電用ケーブルの使用中に、これを給電設備Ｓに固定して取り外し不可能にするものであり、図示しない給電設備Ｓに固着されるハウジング２に組み込まれる。ハウジング２は、底面から背面にかけて受電コネクタＣの係止鉤部Ｃ４を受け入れる切欠き２ａが連続している。   The lock device 1 is used to fix the cable for charging to the power supply facility S during use of the charging cable so that it cannot be removed. The lock device 1 is incorporated in a housing 2 fixed to the power supply facility S (not shown). The housing 2 has a continuous notch 2a for receiving the locking collar C4 of the power receiving connector C from the bottom surface to the back surface.

ハウジング２の前側面には、受電コネクタＣの係止鉤部Ｃ４の係止位置において受電コネクタＣを受電設備に錠止するための錠前３が固着される。錠前３は、切欠き２ａの上方において、軸線を前後方向に向けて設けられ、キー４の操作により、止め金５が結合するロータを解錠位置と施錠位置との間で正逆回転させるシリンダー錠である。キー４は、施錠位置においてのみ抜き差しできるようになっている。   A lock 3 for locking the power receiving connector C to the power receiving facility is fixed to the front side surface of the housing 2 at the locking position of the locking collar C4 of the power receiving connector C. The lock 3 is provided above the notch 2a with the axis line oriented in the front-rear direction. By operating the key 4, the cylinder to which the stopper 5 is coupled is rotated forward and backward between the unlocked position and the locked position. It is a lock. The key 4 can be inserted and removed only in the locked position.

止め金５は、シリンダー錠３のロータと共に回転し、図３（Ａ）に示すように、ロータの解錠位置において接続状態の受電コネクタＣの係止鉤部Ｃ４から離れた解放位置にあり係止鉤部Ｃ４の起き上がりを許容する一方、同図（Ｂ）に示すように、ロータの施錠位置において接続状態の受電コネクタＣの係止鉤部Ｃ４に接近した拘束位置にありその起き上がりを阻止する。   The clasp 5 rotates with the rotor of the cylinder lock 3 and is in a released position away from the locking collar C4 of the connected power receiving connector C in the unlocked position of the rotor as shown in FIG. While allowing the stop portion C4 to rise, as shown in FIG. 5B, the rotor is in a restrained position close to the locking hook portion C4 of the connected power receiving connector C at the locked position of the rotor, and prevents its rise. .

電気自動車に充電を行うにあたり、給電設備Ｓの近くに自動車を止めて、車載の充電用ケーブルを取り出し、これで給電設備Ｓと自動車のバッテリとの間を接続する。この際、図２に示すように、ハウジング２の切欠き２ａに係止鉤部Ｃ４が進入し係止突起Ｓ１に係合してから、シリンダー錠３のキー４を施錠位置へ回転させて、受電コネクタＣを給電設備Ｓに錠止する。すなわち、キー４の施錠位置への回転により止め金５が係止鉤部Ｃ４に近接した拘束位置に至り、係止鉤部Ｃ４の起き上がりを阻止する。この状態で、キー４をシリンダー錠３から抜き、充電完了まで待つことになる。これで、シリンダー錠３を解錠しない限り、充電ケーブルＣを給電設備Ｓから取り外すことができなくなる。充電が完了するまでの間、キー４を携帯すれば、給電設備Ｓから離れても、充電ケーブルＣを持ち去られるおそれはない。一方、キー４をシリンダ錠３に差し込んで解錠位置に回転させれば、止め金５が係止鉤部Ｃ４から離れた解放位置に至り、係止鉤部Ｃ４の起き上がりを妨げない。   When charging the electric vehicle, the vehicle is stopped near the power supply facility S, the in-vehicle charging cable is taken out, and the power supply facility S and the vehicle battery are connected by this. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, after the locking collar C4 enters the notch 2a of the housing 2 and engages the locking projection S1, the key 4 of the cylinder lock 3 is rotated to the locking position. The power receiving connector C is locked to the power supply facility S. That is, when the key 4 is rotated to the locking position, the clasp 5 reaches the restraining position close to the locking collar C4 and prevents the locking collar C4 from rising. In this state, the key 4 is removed from the cylinder lock 3 and waits until the charging is completed. Thus, the charging cable C cannot be detached from the power supply facility S unless the cylinder lock 3 is unlocked. If the key 4 is carried until the charging is completed, the charging cable C is not likely to be taken away even if the key 4 is left. On the other hand, if the key 4 is inserted into the cylinder lock 3 and rotated to the unlocked position, the stopper 5 reaches the release position away from the locking hook C4, and does not prevent the locking hook C4 from rising.

なお、上記実施形態においては、錠前にシリンダ錠３を適用したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、シリンダ錠に代えて、その他の各種機械式の錠前を適用できる。例えば、外周面に周方向に複数の数字などの符号が刻印されたダイアルを軸方向に複数並べてそれぞれ独立して回転操作可能に軸支し、ダイアルを選択操作して、予め設定した特定の回転位置において組み合わされる解錠符号列に合致させると解錠する符号錠を適用してもよい。この場合にも止め金５は、拘束位置において移動がロックされるように符号錠に係止させればよい。   In the above embodiment, the cylinder lock 3 is applied to the lock, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various other mechanical locks can be applied instead of the cylinder lock. For example, a plurality of dials with a plurality of numbers or the like marked in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface are arranged in the axial direction and supported so that they can be independently rotated, and the dial is selected and operated in advance by a specific rotation. A code lock that unlocks when matched with the unlock code string combined at the position may be applied. Also in this case, the stopper plate 5 may be locked by the code lock so that the movement is locked at the restraining position.

他の実施形態を図４，図５に示す。
この実施形態においては、ロック装置６は、錠前として電気錠７を適用する。電気錠７は、ハウジング２の背面内側に固定される。電気錠７は、本体７ａに内蔵したソレノイドの通電がＯＮすると励磁により、本体７ａから側方に突出した起動ピン７ｂが軸方向に伸び出る一方、ソレノイドの通電がＯＦＦすると起動ピン７ｂが原位置に復帰する。起動ピン７ｂは、起動ピン７ｂ周りの押しばね７ｃにより本体７ａから引き出される方向に止め金８と共に付勢される。電気錠７のＯＮ，ＯＦＦ操作は、例えば、メンバーズカードやクレジットカードなどのＲＦＩＤの読み取り機と連動させれば、解錠の操作者を限定できる。 Another embodiment is shown in FIGS.
In this embodiment, the locking device 6 applies an electric lock 7 as a lock. The electric lock 7 is fixed inside the back surface of the housing 2. When the energization of the solenoid built in the main body 7a is turned on, the electric lock 7 is energized, and the starting pin 7b protruding sideways from the main body 7a extends in the axial direction. On the other hand, when the energizing of the solenoid is turned off, the starting pin 7b Return to. The starting pin 7b is urged together with the stopper 8 in a direction of being pulled out from the main body 7a by a pressing spring 7c around the starting pin 7b. The operation of turning on and off the electric lock 7 can be limited to an unlocking operator by interlocking with an RFID reader such as a member's card or a credit card.

止め金８は、ハウジング２内において電気錠７とリンク９との間に上下方向に延び、中間部をハウジング２の背面に突設された軸８ａに回転自在に支持される。止め金８の上端部には長手方向の長孔８ｂを備え、電気錠７の起動ピン７ｂが連結ピン７ｄにより連結される。止め金８の下端は水平に屈曲した当接片８ｃを備え、リンク９に臨む。止め金８は、図６（Ａ）に示すように、起動ピン７ｂが原位置にあれば、当接片８ｃがリンク９から離れ、係止位置にある係止鉤部Ｃ４の押し上げによるリンク９の起き上がりを許容する解放位置にあり、同図（Ｂ）に示すように、起動ピン７ｂが本体７ａに引き込まれれば、係止位置にある係止鉤部Ｃ４の押し上げによるリンク９の起き上がりを当接片８ｃが阻止する拘束位置にある。   The stopper 8 extends in the vertical direction between the electric lock 7 and the link 9 in the housing 2, and an intermediate portion is rotatably supported by a shaft 8 a protruding from the rear surface of the housing 2. The upper end of the clasp 8 is provided with a long slot 8b in the longitudinal direction, and the starting pin 7b of the electric lock 7 is connected by a connecting pin 7d. The lower end of the clasp 8 is provided with a contact piece 8 c that is bent horizontally and faces the link 9. As shown in FIG. 6 (A), when the start pin 7b is in the original position, the stopper plate 8 is separated from the link 9 by the contact piece 8c, and the link 9 is pushed up by the locking collar C4 in the locking position. When the starting pin 7b is pulled into the main body 7a as shown in FIG. 5B, the link 9 is lifted up by pushing up the locking collar C4 at the locking position. The contact piece 8c is in the restraining position where it is blocked.

リンク９は、ハウジング２の背面内側下部に切欠き２ａに臨むように配置される。このリンク９は、ハウジング２の背面に固定された軸受け１０ａに支持された水平軸１０ｂに基端部が上下方向へ回転可能に支持され、ばね１０ｃにより下方へ付勢されている。リンク９は、接続された受電コネクタＣの係止鉤部Ｃ４にその挙動に応じて上下回動するように当接する。   The link 9 is arranged at the lower back inner side of the housing 2 so as to face the notch 2a. The link 9 is supported by a horizontal shaft 10b supported by a bearing 10a fixed to the back surface of the housing 2 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction, and is biased downward by a spring 10c. The link 9 abuts against the locking collar C4 of the connected power receiving connector C so as to rotate up and down according to the behavior.

電気自動車に充電を行うために充電用ケーブルを給電設備Ｓに接続すると、先の実施形態と同様にして、受電コネクタＣの係止鉤部Ｃ４が係止突起Ｓ１に係合する。このとき、電気錠７のソレノイドの通電がＯＦＦしているので、止め金８がリンク９から離れた解除位置にあり、リンク９の上昇回転を妨げないので、係止鉤部Ｃ４の起き上がりを許容する。電気錠７の施錠操作によりソレノイドの通電がＯＮすると、起動ピン７ｂが側方へ伸び、止め金８が回転して、その下端がリンク９上の拘束位置に至り、リンク９の上昇回転を妨げ、係止鉤部Ｃ４の起き上がりを阻止することにより、受電コネクタＣを受電設備に錠止する。電気錠７の施錠により受電コネクタＣを抜き去ることができない状態で、充電完了まで待つことになる。これで、電気錠７を解錠しない限り、充電ケーブルＣを給電設備Ｓから取り外すことができなくなるから、給電設備Ｓから離れても、充電ケーブルＣを持ち去られるおそれはない。充電が終了したら、必要な解錠操作により電気錠７のソレノイドの通電をＯＦＦすれば、起動ピン７ｂが本体７ａ側へ復帰し、止め金８の下端がリンク９から外れた解放位置に回転して、リンク９の上昇回転を可能にするので、係止鉤部Ｃ４の起き上がりが許容され、受電コネクタＣを受電設備から引き抜くことができる。   When the charging cable is connected to the power supply facility S in order to charge the electric vehicle, the locking collar C4 of the power receiving connector C engages with the locking projection S1 as in the previous embodiment. At this time, since the energization of the solenoid of the electric lock 7 is turned off, the stopper 8 is in the release position away from the link 9 and does not hinder the upward rotation of the link 9, so that the locking collar C4 is allowed to rise. To do. When the energization of the solenoid is turned on by the locking operation of the electric lock 7, the starting pin 7b extends to the side, the clasp 8 rotates, and its lower end reaches the restraining position on the link 9, preventing the link 9 from rotating upward. The power receiving connector C is locked to the power receiving facility by preventing the locking hook C4 from rising. In a state where the power receiving connector C cannot be removed due to the locking of the electric lock 7, it waits until the charging is completed. Thus, since the charging cable C cannot be removed from the power supply facility S unless the electric lock 7 is unlocked, the charging cable C is not likely to be taken away from the power supply facility S. When charging is completed, if the energization of the solenoid of the electric lock 7 is turned off by a necessary unlocking operation, the start pin 7b returns to the main body 7a side, and the lower end of the stopper 8 rotates to the release position where it is disengaged from the link 9. Thus, the link 9 can be raised and rotated, so that the locking hook C4 is allowed to rise, and the power receiving connector C can be pulled out from the power receiving facility.
