Description

本発明は、電気自動車などの電気車両に充電するための電気車両用充電装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an electric vehicle charging device for charging an electric vehicle such as an electric vehicle.

従来の電気車両用充電装置としては、例えば、特許文献１に記載されている充電ボックスがある。この充電ボックスは、前面が開口する箱形の本体ケースと、本体ケースの前面開口を開閉自在に閉塞する防水扉とを備える。本体ケースの底面(背面)に、充電コンセントや充電スイッチが配設され、充電ケーブルのプラグが充電コンセントに挿抜自在に接続される。充電ケーブルの先端に給電コネクタが設けられ、この給電コネクタが電気自動車の受電コネクタと接続される。   As a conventional charging device for an electric vehicle, for example, there is a charging box described in Patent Document 1. The charging box includes a box-shaped main body case having an open front surface and a waterproof door that closes the front opening of the main body case so as to be freely opened and closed.

ところで、上述のような充電ボックスにおいては、充電ケーブルのケーブル長が比較的に長くなっており、しかも、未使用時には束ねた状態や丸めた状態で置かれることが多い。そのため、充電ケーブルが絡まったり、あるいは充電ケーブルに巻き癖がついてしまうことにより、充電の際に充電ケーブルが伸ばし難くなるといった不具合があった。なお、特許文献１記載の従来例では、プラグを充電コンセントから抜いて充電ケーブルの縒れを戻すことができるが、充電ケーブルが充電ボックスに直付けされる場合には充電ケーブルを外して縒れを戻すことは困難である。   By the way, in the above-mentioned charging box, the cable length of the charging cable is relatively long, and in many cases, the charging cable is placed in a bundled state or a rolled state when not in use. For this reason, there has been a problem that it becomes difficult to extend the charging cable during charging due to the charging cable becoming entangled or being curled. In the conventional example described in Patent Document 1, the plug can be removed from the charging outlet and the charging cable can be turned back. However, when the charging cable is directly attached to the charging box, the charging cable can be removed. It is difficult to return.

本実施形態の電気車両用充電装置(以下、「充電装置」と略す。)は、図１に示すように充電ケーブル１、充電コネクタ２、本体３などを備える。なお、以下の説明では、図１において上下方向を規定している。   The electric vehicle charging device (hereinafter abbreviated as “charging device”) according to the present embodiment includes a charging cable 1, a charging connector 2, a main body 3, and the like as shown in FIG. In the following description, the vertical direction is defined in FIG.

本体３は、鋼板などの金属板を加工して矩形箱状に形成され、図示しない漏電ブレーカや充電コントローラなどを収納して家屋の外壁などに取り付けられる。なお、充電コントローラは、充電ケーブル１に含まれる通信線13を介して電気自動車と通信し、電気自動車からの指示に応じて充電ケーブル１を介した給電の入／切などを行うものである。   The main body 3 is formed in a rectangular box shape by processing a metal plate such as a steel plate, and houses an earth leakage breaker, a charge controller, etc. (not shown) and is attached to an outer wall of a house. The charge controller communicates with the electric vehicle via the communication line 13 included in the charging cable 1 and turns on / off power supply via the charging cable 1 in accordance with an instruction from the electric vehicle.

充電ケーブル１は、一対の電源線10，11と接地線12及び前記通信線13を含む４心タイプの電気ケーブルからなり(図２参照)、後端が充電コントローラを介して漏電ブレーカに接続され、先端に充電コネクタ２が接続されている。充電コネクタ２は、電気自動車の車体に設けられている差込口(充電インレット)に挿抜自在に差込接続される。   The charging cable 1 is composed of a four-core type electric cable including a pair of power supply lines 10, 11 and a grounding line 12 and the communication line 13 (see FIG. 2), and the rear end is connected to a leakage breaker via a charge controller. The charging connector 2 is connected to the tip. The charging connector 2 is inserted and connected so as to be freely inserted into and removed from an insertion port (charging inlet) provided in the vehicle body of the electric vehicle.

次に、本発明の要旨である、充電ケーブル１の縒れを戻す縒り戻し手段について説明する。   Next, a turning back means for returning the charging cable 1 that is the gist of the present invention will be described.

図２に示すように、本体３の下側の壁には充電ケーブル１の後端が導入される導入口30が開口し、導入口30から導入される充電ケーブル１の絶縁シース14が部分的に切除されている。なお、絶縁シース14は、一対の電源線10，11と接地線12及び前記通信線13を被う絶縁材料製の外皮である。そして、絶縁シース14が切除された部分よりも後端側(上側)において、ケーブル止め具31により充電ケーブル１が本体３に固定されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, an introduction port 30 into which the rear end of the charging cable 1 is introduced opens on the lower wall of the main body 3, and an insulating sheath 14 of the charging cable 1 introduced from the introduction port 30 is partially provided. Has been excised. The insulating sheath 14 is a sheath made of an insulating material that covers the pair of power supply lines 10 and 11, the ground line 12, and the communication line 13. The charging cable 1 is fixed to the main body 3 by the cable stopper 31 on the rear end side (upper side) of the portion where the insulating sheath 14 is cut off.

本体３の下側の壁における導入口30の周囲には、下向きに突出する嵌合部５が突設されている。この嵌合部５は、直径が異なる円筒形状に形成された大径部50及び小径部51を有し、大径部50の上端が本体３に連結され、大径部50の下端に小径部51の上端が連結されている。さらに小径部51の下端には、小径部51よりも直径の大きい円盤状の外鍔52が設けられている。   A fitting portion 5 protruding downward is provided around the introduction port 30 on the lower wall of the main body 3. The fitting portion 5 has a large diameter portion 50 and a small diameter portion 51 formed in cylindrical shapes having different diameters, the upper end of the large diameter portion 50 is connected to the main body 3, and the small diameter portion is connected to the lower end of the large diameter portion 50. The upper end of 51 is connected. Further, a disk-shaped outer casing 52 having a diameter larger than that of the small diameter portion 51 is provided at the lower end of the small diameter portion 51.

一方、充電ケーブル１の絶縁シース14が切除された部分よりも先端側(下側)には、嵌合部５に対して回動自在に嵌合するキャップ４が取り付けられている。キャップ４は、円筒形に形成されており、下面と上面にそれぞれ孔40，41が開口し、上側の孔41に外鍔52と小径部51の下端部分が挿入されることで、嵌合部５に対して回動自在に嵌合する。また、充電ケーブル１が上下両側の孔40，41に挿通されるとともに、ケーブル止め具42によりキャップ４に固定されている。   On the other hand, a cap 4 that is rotatably fitted to the fitting portion 5 is attached to the distal end side (lower side) of the portion where the insulating sheath 14 of the charging cable 1 is cut off. The cap 4 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and holes 40 and 41 are opened on the lower surface and the upper surface, respectively, and the outer flange 52 and the lower end portion of the small diameter portion 51 are inserted into the upper hole 41, so that the fitting portion 5 is rotatably fitted. Further, the charging cable 1 is inserted into the holes 40 and 41 on both the upper and lower sides, and is fixed to the cap 4 with a cable stopper 42.

而して、未使用時に充電ケーブル１が束ねた状態や丸めた状態で置かれた場合、図２(ｂ)に示すように絶縁シース14の除去された部分で充電ケーブル１(一対の電源線10，11と接地線12及び通信線13)に縒れが生じることがある。しかしながら、充電ケーブル１が固定されているキャップ４が本体３の嵌合部５に対して回動自在であるから、キャップ４を回動させることで充電ケーブル１の縒れを戻すことができる(図２(ａ)参照)。   Thus, when the charging cable 1 is placed in a bundled or rolled state when not in use, the charging cable 1 (a pair of power lines) is removed at the portion where the insulating sheath 14 is removed as shown in FIG. 10, 11 and the ground line 12 and the communication line 13) may be drowned. However, since the cap 4 to which the charging cable 1 is fixed is rotatable with respect to the fitting portion 5 of the main body 3, the charging cable 1 can be turned back by rotating the cap 4 ( (See FIG. 2 (a)).

上述のように本実施形態では、キャップ４や嵌合部５などから構成される縒り戻し手段を備えているので、充電の際に充電ケーブル１が伸ばし難くなるといった不具合が生じ難くなり、その結果、充電時の作業性向上を図ることができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, since the turn-back means including the cap 4 and the fitting portion 5 is provided, it is difficult to cause the problem that the charging cable 1 is difficult to extend during charging. The workability during charging can be improved.

なお、図３に示すように絶縁シース14が切除される部分の長さを長くとることで電源線10，11や接地線12及び通信線13の余長分を多くすれば、キャップ４の回動範囲を拡げることができ、さらに大きな縒れを戻すことができる。   As shown in FIG. 3, if the length of the portion where the insulating sheath 14 is removed is increased to increase the extra length of the power supply lines 10, 11, the ground line 12 and the communication line 13, the rotation of the cap 4 is performed. The range of motion can be expanded and even greater drowning can be restored.

また、本実施形態では、縒り戻し手段(キャップ４及び嵌合部５)が本体３に対して充電ケーブル１の後端を周方向に回動自在としているが、充電ケーブル１の先端を回動自在としても構わない。あるいは、図４に示すように充電ケーブル１の中間部を周方向に回動自在に連結する連結部６が設けられてもよい。ただし、連結部６の構造はキャップ４と嵌合部５の構造と同様の構造で構わない。また、図５に示すように充電ケーブル１が螺旋状に形成されたカールコードであっても構わない。   Further, in the present embodiment, the turn-back means (cap 4 and fitting portion 5) allows the rear end of the charging cable 1 to rotate in the circumferential direction with respect to the main body 3, but the front end of the charging cable 1 rotates. It does not matter if it is free. Or the connection part 6 which connects the intermediate part of the charging cable 1 rotatably in the circumferential direction as shown in FIG. 4 may be provided. However, the structure of the connecting portion 6 may be the same as that of the cap 4 and the fitting portion 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the charging cable 1 may be a curled cord formed in a spiral shape.

ここで、充電ケーブル１の縒れを戻す縒り戻し手段は本実施形態の構造に限定されるものではない。例えば、２つの導体を互いに回動自在に接続するコネクタ、いわゆるロータリーコネクタを縒り戻し手段に用いることができる。なお、この種のロータリーコネクタは種々の構造のものが市販されており、その構造については既に周知であるから詳細な説明は省略する。   Here, the turning-back means for returning the twist of the charging cable 1 is not limited to the structure of the present embodiment. For example, a connector that connects two conductors to each other so as to be rotatable, a so-called rotary connector can be used as the turning-back means. Note that this type of rotary connector is commercially available in various structures, and since the structure is already well known, detailed description thereof is omitted.

ところで、本体３は壁に取り付けられるものに限定されず、図６に示すように地面に立設される箱形に形成されても構わない。   By the way, the main body 3 is not limited to the one attached to the wall, and may be formed in a box shape standing on the ground as shown in FIG.
