Description
本発明は、回転プラグを回転させて栓刃をケースから突出させることにより、外部のコンセントに差し込んで、ＡＣ電源等の供給を受けることができるようにした回転プラグを備えた機器に関するものである。 The present invention relates to an apparatus including a rotary plug that can be supplied to an AC power source or the like by being inserted into an external outlet by rotating a rotary plug so that a plug blade protrudes from a case. .
従来の回転プラグを用いた充電器は、特許文献１に示すように、回転プラグの両端面から左右に突出して設けられた回転軸部をケースの軸受部で軸支して、栓刃がケースから突出した突出位置と栓刃がケース内に収容された収容位置との間で回転可能に構成している。前記回転プラグは、回転周囲側を向く外側周面から突出した一対の栓刃と、当該一対の栓刃に接続された一対の接点とを有しており、前記一対の接点を前記回転軸部の表面に露出させている。そして、前記回転プラグが、突出位置にある状態で、前記一対の接点が、ケース内に配置した回路基板の一対の受け端子に接触するように構成している。 As shown in Patent Document 1, a conventional charger using a rotary plug has a rotary shaft portion that protrudes from the both end surfaces of the rotary plug to the left and right and is pivotally supported by a bearing portion of the case. It is comprised so that rotation is possible between the protrusion position protruded from and the accommodation position where the plug blade was accommodated in the case. The rotary plug has a pair of plug blades protruding from an outer peripheral surface facing the rotation peripheral side, and a pair of contacts connected to the pair of plug blades, and the pair of contacts is connected to the rotary shaft portion. It is exposed on the surface. The pair of contacts are configured to contact a pair of receiving terminals of a circuit board disposed in the case in a state where the rotary plug is in the protruding position.
しかしながら、回転プラグの回転軸方向の両端面から突出した回転軸部を設ける構造であるため、回転プラグの回転軸方向の両端面と回転軸部との間に空間が形成されてしまい、また、ケース内に前記回転軸部に対応した軸受部を設ける必要があり、ケース内容積が制限されてしまう。そうすると、例えば、ケース内部に設けられる回路基板や受け端子の設置スペースが制約されてしまうという問題がある。 However, because the structure is provided with a rotating shaft portion protruding from both end surfaces of the rotating plug in the rotating shaft direction, a space is formed between both end surfaces of the rotating plug in the rotating shaft direction and the rotating shaft portion. It is necessary to provide a bearing portion corresponding to the rotating shaft portion in the case, and the case internal volume is limited. If it does so, there exists a problem that the installation space of the circuit board provided in a case and a receiving terminal will be restrict | limited, for example.
また、上記の回転プラグでは、栓刃及び接点を一枚の導電性金属板から構成しており、回転軸部の表面に接点を露出させるべく、前記導電性金属板を折り曲げ加工する必要がある。そうすると、加工コストがかかってしまうだけでなく、曲げ加工の加工精度が低いと、回転プラグの樹脂成型時に樹脂バリが発生してしまい、接点不良や金属板と樹脂との密着不良が起こるという問題がある。 In the rotary plug, the plug blade and the contact are made of a single conductive metal plate, and it is necessary to bend the conductive metal plate to expose the contact on the surface of the rotary shaft portion. . If this is the case, not only will processing costs be incurred, but if the processing accuracy of the bending process is low, resin burrs will occur during resin molding of the rotary plug, resulting in poor contact and poor adhesion between the metal plate and the resin. There is.
そこで本発明は、上記問題点を解決すべくなされたものであり、回転プラグの回転軸部を不要にすることをその主たる課題とするものである。 Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and its main object is to eliminate the need for the rotary shaft portion of the rotary plug.
すなわち本発明に係る回転プラグを有する機器は、回転プラグをケース内に収容した状態と前記ケースから突出した状態との間で回転可能となるようにした回転プラグを備えた機器であって、前記回転プラグが、一対の導電性部材と、当該一対の導電性部材を保持して前記ケースに回転可能に支持されたプラグ本体部とを有し、前記プラグ本体部の回転周囲側を向く外側周面に、前記ケースに接触してスライドするスライド面が形成されていることを特徴とする。 That is, a device having a rotary plug according to the present invention is a device provided with a rotary plug that can be rotated between a state in which the rotary plug is housed in a case and a state in which the rotary plug protrudes from the case. The rotary plug has a pair of conductive members and a plug main body portion that holds the pair of conductive members and is rotatably supported by the case, and has an outer periphery that faces the rotation peripheral side of the plug main body portion. A slide surface that slides in contact with the case is formed on the surface.
このような回転プラグを有する機器であれば、プラグ本体部の回転周囲側を向く外側周面がスライド面を有するので、プラグ本体部の回転軸部を不要にすることができる。これにより、従来の回転軸部により生じていた空間を削減することができ、ケース内容積を大きくすることができる。また、回転軸部に接点部を設ける構成では無くプラグ本体部の回転周囲側を向く外側周面のスライド面に直交する面のどこにでも接点部を設けることができるので、接点部を設ける範囲を広げることができ、ケース内に設けられる回路基板の受け端子を配置する場所の自由度を増やし、スペースの有効活用が可能となる。さらに、回転軸部に接点部を露出させるための導電性部材の折り曲げ加工を不要にすることができ、加工コストを削減することができるとともに、曲げ加工の加工精度に起因する樹脂成型時の樹脂バリを抑制することができる。 In the case of a device having such a rotary plug, the outer peripheral surface of the plug main body portion facing the rotation peripheral side has a slide surface, so that the rotary shaft portion of the plug main body portion can be eliminated. Thereby, the space which has arisen by the conventional rotating shaft part can be reduced, and the volume in the case can be increased. Moreover, since the contact portion can be provided anywhere on the surface orthogonal to the slide surface of the outer peripheral surface facing the rotation peripheral side of the plug main body portion, not the configuration in which the contact portion is provided on the rotation shaft portion, the range in which the contact portion is provided It can be widened, and the degree of freedom of the place where the receiving terminal of the circuit board provided in the case is arranged can be increased, and the space can be effectively used. Furthermore, it is possible to eliminate the need to bend the conductive member for exposing the contact portion to the rotating shaft portion, to reduce the processing cost, and the resin at the time of resin molding due to the processing accuracy of the bending processing Burr can be suppressed.
前記一対の導電性部材が、前記プラグ本体部の前記外側周面から突出した一対の栓刃部と、前記プラグ本体部の前記外側周面とは異なる側面に露出してケース側端子に接触する接点部とを同一平面上に有することが望ましい。
これならば、導電性部材を曲げ加工する必要が無い。したがって、曲げ加工を不要にして加工コストを削減することができるとともに、曲げ加工の加工精度に起因する樹脂成型時の樹脂バリを抑制することができる。
The pair of conductive members are exposed to a pair of plug blade portions protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the plug main body portion and a side surface different from the outer peripheral surface of the plug main body portion, and contact the case side terminal. It is desirable to have the contact portion on the same plane.
In this case, there is no need to bend the conductive member. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the bending process and reduce the processing cost, and it is possible to suppress the resin burr at the time of resin molding caused by the processing accuracy of the bending process.
前記スライド面が、前記プラグ本体部の前記外側周面における回転軸方向に沿った両端部に形成されていることが望ましい。
これならば、プラグ本体部の回転軸方向に沿った両端部がケースに支持される構造となり、従来の回転軸部を不要としながらも回転プラグの回転を安定して行うことができる。
It is desirable that the slide surface is formed at both end portions along the rotation axis direction on the outer peripheral surface of the plug main body portion.
If it is this, it will become a structure where the both ends along the rotating shaft direction of a plug main-body part are supported by a case, and rotation of a rotating plug can be performed stably, making the conventional rotating shaft part unnecessary.
スライド面の具体的な実施の態様としては、前記スライド面が、円環状をなす部分球面であることが望ましい。 As a specific embodiment of the slide surface, it is desirable that the slide surface is a partial spherical surface having an annular shape.
前記プラグ本体部の前記外側周面において、前記スライド面と前記スライド面よりも回転軸方向内側の面とが連続していることが望ましい。
このようにスライド面とスライド面よりも回転軸方向内側の面とが連続しているので、前記プラグ本体部の回転軸方向に対向する対向面の面積を大きくすることができる。これにより、接点部を設ける範囲を広げることができ、ケース内に設けられる回路基板の受け端子を配置する場所の自由度を増やし、スペースの有効活用が可能となる。
In the outer peripheral surface of the plug main body, it is desirable that the slide surface and a surface on the inner side in the rotation axis direction than the slide surface are continuous.
As described above, since the slide surface and the surface on the inner side in the rotation axis direction than the slide surface are continuous, the area of the facing surface of the plug main body portion facing the rotation axis direction can be increased. Thereby, the range which provides a contact part can be expanded, the freedom degree of the place which arrange | positions the receiving terminal of the circuit board provided in a case can be increased, and space can be utilized effectively.
前記一対の導電性部材により構成される一対の栓刃部が、前記プラグ本体部の回転周囲側を向く側面に回転方向に沿って配列して設けられていることが望ましい。つまり、前記一対の栓刃部が、プラグ本体部の回転軸に直交する方向に配列して設けられていることが望ましい。
これならば、横回転型の回転プラグを備えた機器とすることができる。このように横回転型の回転プラグとすることで、従来の回転プラグに設けられた回転軸部の表面に接点部を露出させる構成により生じていた曲げ加工の課題を好適に解消することができる。
It is desirable that a pair of plug blade portions constituted by the pair of conductive members are arranged along the rotation direction on the side surface of the plug body portion facing the rotation peripheral side. That is, it is desirable that the pair of plug blade portions be arranged in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the plug body portion.
If it is this, it can be set as the apparatus provided with the horizontal rotation type rotary plug. In this way, by using the lateral rotary type rotary plug, it is possible to suitably solve the bending problem that has been caused by the configuration in which the contact portion is exposed on the surface of the rotary shaft portion provided in the conventional rotary plug. .
前記プラグ本体部の回転周囲側を向く側面において、前記栓刃部よりも回転軸方向外側に位置する面が、前記スライド面となることが望ましい。また、前記プラグ本体部の前記外側周面において、前記栓刃部よりも回転軸方向外側に位置する面及び回転軸方向内側に位置する面が連続していることが望ましい。 In the side surface of the plug main body portion facing the rotation peripheral side, it is desirable that a surface located on the outer side in the rotation axis direction than the plug blade portion is the slide surface. Moreover, it is desirable that a surface located on the outer side in the rotation axis direction and a surface located on the inner side in the rotation axis direction are continuous with the outer peripheral surface of the plug main body portion.
前記一対の導電性部材により構成される各接点部が、前記プラグ本体部の回転軸方向に対向する対向面の何れか一方に露出して設けられていることが望ましい。前記プラグ本体部の前記外側周面にスライド面を形成しているので、この対向面の面積を大きくすることができる。これにより、接点部を設ける範囲を広げることができ、ケース内に設けられる回路基板の受け端子を配置する場所の自由度を増やし、スペースの有効活用が可能となる。 It is desirable that each contact portion constituted by the pair of conductive members is provided to be exposed on any one of opposing surfaces facing the rotation axis direction of the plug body portion. Since the slide surface is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the plug main body, the area of the facing surface can be increased. Thereby, the range which provides a contact part can be expanded, the freedom degree of the place which arrange | positions the receiving terminal of the circuit board provided in a case can be increased, and space can be utilized effectively.
前記各導電性部材が、平面視において概略Ｌ字状をなすものであることが望ましい。このように導電性部材を形成することで、簡単な構成により、栓刃部をプラグ本体部の外側周面に突出させるとともに、接点部を前記外側周面とは異なる面に露出させることができる。 It is desirable that each of the conductive members has a substantially L shape in plan view. By forming the conductive member in this manner, the plug blade portion can be protruded from the outer peripheral surface of the plug main body portion and the contact portion can be exposed to a surface different from the outer peripheral surface with a simple configuration. .
前記プラグ本体部の前記外側周面において、前記スライド面よりも内側に位置する面に、回転方向に沿って凹部又は凸部が形成されており、前記凹部又は前記凸部が、前記ケースに設けられた凸部又は凹部に係合して、前記プラグ本体部が回転することが望ましい。
これならば、回転プラグの回転途中において回転プラグがぐらつくことを防止し、安定して回転プラグを回転させることができる。
On the outer peripheral surface of the plug main body portion, a concave portion or a convex portion is formed along a rotation direction on a surface located inside the slide surface, and the concave portion or the convex portion is provided in the case. It is desirable that the plug body portion rotates by engaging with the projected portion or the recessed portion.
If this is the case, the rotating plug can be prevented from wobbling during the rotation of the rotating plug, and the rotating plug can be rotated stably.
このように構成した本発明によれば、プラグ本体部の外側周面にスライド面を形成しているので、回転プラグの回転軸部を不要にすることができる。これにより、ケース内容積を有効利用することができるだけでなく、導電性部材の曲げ加工を無くすことができる。 According to the present invention configured as described above, since the slide surface is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the plug main body portion, the rotating shaft portion of the rotary plug can be made unnecessary. Thereby, not only can the internal volume of the case be used effectively, but also bending of the conductive member can be eliminated.
以下に本発明に係る回転プラグを備えた機器の一実施形態について図面を参照して説明する。なお、以下においては、回転プラグを備えた機器としてＡＣアダプタについて説明するが、その他、携帯電話機やデジタルカメラ等に用いられる例えばリチウムイオン電池等の電池パックを充電する充電器であっても良いし、回転プラグを有する機器であれば、どのような機器に対しても適用可能である。 An embodiment of a device provided with a rotary plug according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following, an AC adapter will be described as a device having a rotary plug, but it may be a charger for charging a battery pack such as a lithium ion battery used for a mobile phone, a digital camera, or the like. As long as the device has a rotating plug, it can be applied to any device.
本実施形態のＡＣアダプタ１００は、図１に示すように、概略方形箱型のケース２と、当該ケース２に回転可能に設けられた回転プラグ３とを備えている。なお、図１においてケース２の側面から延出して例えば電子機器に接続されるケーブルは省略している。 As shown in FIG. 1, the AC adapter 100 of the present embodiment includes a substantially rectangular box-shaped case 2 and a rotary plug 3 that is rotatably provided on the case 2. In FIG. 1, a cable extending from the side surface of the case 2 and connected to, for example, an electronic device is omitted.
ケース２は、図１に示すように、樹脂製の上ケース２１及び下ケース２２を上下から重ね合わせることにより構成される。下ケース２２内には、図示しない変圧回路及び整流回路等を構成する電気回路の各素子が実装された回路基板４が取り付けられている。また、下ケース２２の下壁には、回転プラグ３を回転可能に支持するための回転支持部５が設けられている。この回転支持部５は、下ケース２２の下壁の右側端部において、左右方向に対向して形成された一対の隔壁部５１、５２により構成されており、各隔壁部５１、５２の上辺に円弧状に窪んだ回転支持面５１ａ、５２ａが形成されている。この一対の隔壁部５１、５２の間に、回転プラグ３が取り付けられる。また、一対の隔壁部５１、５２の間の下壁に、回転プラグ３の一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂが突出する開口２Ｈが形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the case 2 is configured by superposing a resin upper case 21 and a lower case 22 from above and below. In the lower case 22, a circuit board 4 on which elements of an electric circuit constituting a transformer circuit and a rectifier circuit (not shown) are mounted is attached. A rotation support portion 5 for rotatably supporting the rotary plug 3 is provided on the lower wall of the lower case 22. The rotation support portion 5 is composed of a pair of partition portions 51 and 52 formed in the right end portion of the lower wall of the lower case 22 so as to face each other in the left-right direction. Rotation support surfaces 51a and 52a that are recessed in an arc shape are formed. The rotary plug 3 is attached between the pair of partition walls 51 and 52. Moreover, the opening 2H from which a pair of plug blade parts 32a and 32b of the rotary plug 3 protrudes is formed in the lower wall between the pair of partition parts 51 and 52.
上ケース２１の上壁には、前記下ケース２２の回転支持部５に対応する回転支持部が設けられている。この回転支持部は、上ケース２２の上壁の右側端部において、前記下ケース２２の回転支持部５と同様に、互いに対向して形成された一対の隔壁部により構成されており、各隔壁部の上辺に円弧状に窪んだ回転支持面が形成されている。 A rotation support portion corresponding to the rotation support portion 5 of the lower case 22 is provided on the upper wall of the upper case 21. This rotation support portion is composed of a pair of partition walls formed opposite to each other at the right end portion of the upper wall of the upper case 22 in the same manner as the rotation support portion 5 of the lower case 22. A rotating support surface that is recessed in an arc shape is formed on the upper side of the part.
回転プラグ３は、図２〜図５に示すように、ケース２の回転支持部に回転可能に支持されたプラグ本体部３１と、当該プラグ本体部３１から突出した一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂと、一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂに接続されて、ケース側端子（後述する回路基板４の受け端子４ａ、４ｂ）に接触する一対の接点部３３ａ、３３ｂとを有している。 As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the rotary plug 3 includes a plug main body 31 that is rotatably supported by the rotation support portion of the case 2, and a pair of plug blade portions 32 a and 32 b protruding from the plug main body 31. And a pair of contact portions 33a and 33b that are connected to the pair of plug blade portions 32a and 32b and come into contact with case-side terminals (receiving terminals 4a and 4b of the circuit board 4 described later).
プラグ本体部３１は、絶縁性を有する樹脂により形成されており、下ケース２１の回転支持部５の回転支持面５１ａ、５２ａに嵌り込むとともに、上ケース２１の回転支持部が覆い被さることにより、ケース２に対して回転可能に支持されている。本実施形態では、回転プラグ３は、一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂがケース２の開口２Ｈから下方に突出した突出位置Ｐ（図７参照）及び一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂがケース２内に収容された収容位置Ｑ（図８参照）の間の回転角度範囲（具体的には９０度）で回転可能とされている。 The plug body 31 is formed of an insulating resin, and is fitted into the rotation support surfaces 51a and 52a of the rotation support portion 5 of the lower case 21, and the rotation support portion of the upper case 21 covers the The case 2 is rotatably supported. In the present embodiment, the rotary plug 3 has a pair of plug blade portions 32a and 32b protruding downward from the opening 2H of the case 2 (see FIG. 7) and a pair of plug blade portions 32a and 32b in the case 2. Can be rotated within a rotation angle range (specifically, 90 degrees) between the accommodation positions Q (see FIG. 8) accommodated in the container.
また、プラグ本体部３１は、前記回転支持部に支持されて回転する概略回転体形状をなす回転部３１１と、当該回転部３１１の外側周面３１１ａの一部に形成され、一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂが突出する栓刃突出部３１２とを有する。 The plug body 31 is formed on a part of the outer peripheral surface 311a of the rotating part 311 and the rotating part 311 which has a substantially rotating body shape supported by the rotating support part and rotates. 32a and 32b have a plug blade protrusion 312 from which the protrusion protrudes.
回転部３１１の外側周面３１１ａは、回転軸周りに形成された外側に凸状をなす環状面である。本実施形態の環状面３１１ａは、部分球面状をなすものであり、球面をその中心に対して等距離にある互いに平行な二平面に挟まれる球面部分からなる球帯状をなすものである。この回転部３１１の環状面３１１ａは、プラグ本体部３１の回転周囲側を向く外側周面の一部を構成する。また、回転部３１１の回転軸方向（図２等において左右方向）において対向する２つの対向面３１１ｂ、３１１ｃは平坦面である。 The outer peripheral surface 311a of the rotating portion 311 is an annular surface that is formed around the rotation axis and has an outwardly convex shape. The annular surface 311a of the present embodiment has a partial spherical shape, and has a spherical band shape including spherical portions sandwiched between two parallel planes that are equidistant from the center of the spherical surface. The annular surface 311 a of the rotating part 311 constitutes a part of the outer peripheral surface facing the rotating peripheral side of the plug main body 31. In addition, the two facing surfaces 311b and 311c facing each other in the rotation axis direction of the rotating portion 311 (left and right direction in FIG. 2 and the like) are flat surfaces.
なお、本実施形態では、プラグ本体部３１の軽量化のため、回転部３１１において、２つの対向面３１１ｂ、３１１ｃの一部に凹部３１１ｍを形成している（図２及び図３参照）。これにより、プラグ本体部３１を軽量化することができるとともに、材料コストを削減することができる。 In the present embodiment, in order to reduce the weight of the plug main body 31, a recess 311m is formed in a part of the two facing surfaces 311b and 311c in the rotating part 311 (see FIGS. 2 and 3). Thereby, while being able to reduce the weight of the plug main-body part 31, material cost can be reduced.
栓刃突出部３１２は、前記回転部３１１から径方向に突出して形成されており、その先端に一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂが突出する栓刃突出面３１２ａを有している。この栓刃突出面３１２ａは、前記回転部３１１の径方向に直交する平坦面であり、前記環状面３１１ａと同様に、プラグ本体部３１の回転周囲側を向く外側周面の一部を構成する。また、栓刃突出面３１２ａには、前記一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂが、プラグ本体部３１の回転方向に沿って配列して設けられている。つまり、一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂは、プラグ本体部３１の回転軸に直交する方向に配列して設けられている。さらに、栓刃突出部３１２の回転軸に沿った幅方向（つまり、左右方向）の寸法は、前記回転部３１１の回転軸に沿った幅方向寸法よりも小さい。つまり、栓刃突出部３１２の幅方向両側に、前記回転部３１１の外側周面である環状面３１１ａがはみ出して形成されている。 The plug blade protruding portion 312 is formed to protrude from the rotating portion 311 in the radial direction, and has a plug blade protruding surface 312a from which a pair of plug blade portions 32a and 32b protrude at the tip. The plug blade protruding surface 312a is a flat surface perpendicular to the radial direction of the rotating portion 311 and, like the annular surface 311a, constitutes a part of the outer peripheral surface facing the rotating peripheral side of the plug body portion 31. . Further, the pair of plug blade portions 32 a and 32 b are arranged on the plug blade protruding surface 312 a along the rotation direction of the plug main body portion 31. That is, the pair of plug blade portions 32 a and 32 b are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the plug main body portion 31. Furthermore, the dimension in the width direction (that is, the left-right direction) along the rotation axis of the plug blade protrusion 312 is smaller than the dimension in the width direction along the rotation axis of the rotation part 311. That is, an annular surface 311 a that is an outer peripheral surface of the rotating portion 311 protrudes from both sides in the width direction of the plug blade protruding portion 312.
このように構成したプラグ本体部３１の回転周囲側を向く外側周面における回転軸方向に沿った両端部が、前記回転支持部５の回転支持面５１ａ、５２ａに接触してスライドするスライド面３１１ｘとなる（特に図４参照）。本実施形態では、プラグ本体部３１における回転部３１１の外側周面３１１ａにおいて、一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂよりも幅方向（回転軸方向）外側に位置する面がスライド面３１１ｘとなる。つまり、前記外側周面３１１ａにおいて、栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂが突出する栓刃突出部３１２よりも幅方向外側に位置する面が、スライド面３１１ｘとなる。 The slide surface 311x that slides in contact with the rotation support surfaces 51a, 52a of the rotation support portion 5 at both ends along the rotation axis direction on the outer peripheral surface facing the rotation peripheral side of the plug body portion 31 thus configured. (See FIG. 4 in particular). In the present embodiment, on the outer peripheral surface 311a of the rotating part 311 in the plug main body 31, the surface located on the outer side in the width direction (rotating axis direction) than the pair of plug blade parts 32a and 32b is the slide surface 311x. That is, in the outer peripheral surface 311a, a surface located on the outer side in the width direction from the plug blade protruding portion 312 from which the plug blade portions 32a and 32b protrude becomes the slide surface 311x.
このスライド面３１１ｘは、一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂの幅方向両側にそれぞれ形成されており、プラグ本体部３１の回転軸周りに形成された環状をなす部分球面である（図５参照）。ここで、前記外側周面３１１ａの一部がスライド面３１１ｘとなっているため、栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂよりも幅方向外側に位置するスライド面３１１ｘと、幅方向内側に位置する面とが滑らかに連続して、それらの間に境界線の現れない構成となっている。なお、このスライド面３１１ｘに接触するケース２の回転支持面は、スライド面３１１ｘの形状に対応した面形状、つまり凹状の球帯状をなす面である。 The slide surfaces 311x are formed on both sides of the pair of plug blade portions 32a and 32b in the width direction, and are annular partial spherical surfaces formed around the rotation axis of the plug main body portion 31 (see FIG. 5). Here, since a part of the outer peripheral surface 311a is a slide surface 311x, the slide surface 311x located on the outer side in the width direction than the plug blade portions 32a and 32b and the surface located on the inner side in the width direction are smooth. The boundary line does not appear between them. Note that the rotation support surface of the case 2 that contacts the slide surface 311x is a surface shape corresponding to the shape of the slide surface 311x, that is, a surface having a concave spherical band shape.
そして、本実施形態の回転プラグ３は、図４及び図５に示すように、前記一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂ及び前記一対の接点部３３ａ、３３ｂは、一対の導電性部材６ａ、６ｂにより構成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rotary plug 3 of the present embodiment includes the pair of plug blade portions 32a and 32b and the pair of contact portions 33a and 33b by a pair of conductive members 6a and 6b. It is configured.
各導電性部材６ａ、６ｂは、平板状をなすものであり、各導電性部材６ａ、６ｂにより構成される栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂ及び当該栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂに接続された接点部３３ａ、３３ｂは、同一平板上に位置する。つまり、回転プラグ３をその中心軸に沿った方向から見た側面視において、前記栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂ及び当該栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂに接続された接点部３３ａ、３３ｂは、同じ高さに位置している。 Each of the conductive members 6a and 6b has a flat plate shape. The blade parts 32a and 32b formed by the conductive members 6a and 6b and the contact parts 33a connected to the blade parts 32a and 32b, 33b is located on the same flat plate. That is, when the rotary plug 3 is viewed from the side along the central axis, the plug blade portions 32a and 32b and the contact portions 33a and 33b connected to the plug blade portions 32a and 32b have the same height. positioned.
また、各導電性部材６ａ、６ｂは、図６に示すように、平面視において概略Ｌ字状をなし、前記側面視において直線状をなすものである。具体的には、この導電性部材６ａ、６ｂにおいて、長手方向に延びる平板状の長手直線部６１の先端部が栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂとなり、当該長手直線部６１の基端部において、当該長手直線部６１に直交して延びる平板状の短手直線部６２の先端部が接点部３３ａ、３３ｂとなる。そして、この２枚の導電性部材６ａ、６ｂを用いて、インサート成形等の樹脂成形により、一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂが突出し、一対の接点部３３ａ、３３ｂが露出した回転プラグ３が加工される。 Further, as shown in FIG. 6, each of the conductive members 6a and 6b has a substantially L shape in a plan view and a straight shape in the side view. Specifically, in the conductive members 6 a and 6 b, the distal end portions of the flat plate-like longitudinal straight portions 61 extending in the longitudinal direction become plug blade portions 32 a and 32 b, and at the base end portions of the longitudinal straight portions 61, the longitudinal The front ends of the flat plate-like short straight portions 62 extending orthogonally to the straight portions 61 serve as contact portions 33a and 33b. Then, by using the two conductive members 6a and 6b, the rotary plug 3 in which the pair of plug blade portions 32a and 32b protrudes and the pair of contact portions 33a and 33b are exposed is formed by resin molding such as insert molding. Is done.
このように構成した導電性部材６ａ、６ｂにおいて、接点部３３ａ、３３ｂは、スライド面３１１ｘよりも回転軸側に形成される対向面３１１ｂ、３１１ｃに露出して設けられている（図４参照）。つまり、スライド面３１１ｘは、接点部３３ａ、３３ｂを囲むように形成されている（図５参照）。さらに言い換えれば、スライド面３１１ｘは、接点部３３ａ、３３ｂに対して径方向外側に離間して形成されている。本実施形態では、プラグ本体部３１の対向面３１１ｂに接点部３３ａが露出し、対向面３１１ｃに接点部３３ｂが露出している。ここで、スライド面３１１ｘをプラグ本体部３１の外側周面に形成して、対向面３１１ｂ、３１１ｃの面積を可及的に大きくしているので、導電性部材６ａ、６ｂを折り曲げて、接点部３３ａ、３３ｂを回転軸側に配置する必要が無い。 In the conductive members 6a and 6b configured as described above, the contact portions 33a and 33b are provided so as to be exposed on the opposing surfaces 311b and 311c formed on the rotating shaft side with respect to the slide surface 311x (see FIG. 4). . That is, the slide surface 311x is formed so as to surround the contact portions 33a and 33b (see FIG. 5). In other words, the slide surface 311x is formed to be spaced radially outward with respect to the contact portions 33a and 33b. In the present embodiment, the contact portion 33a is exposed on the facing surface 311b of the plug body 31, and the contact portion 33b is exposed on the facing surface 311c. Here, since the slide surface 311x is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the plug main body 31, and the areas of the opposing surfaces 311b and 311c are made as large as possible, the conductive members 6a and 6b are bent, There is no need to arrange 33a and 33b on the rotating shaft side.
プラグ本体部３１の対向面３１１ｂ、３１１ｃに露出した接点部３３ａ、３３ｂは、回路基板４に設けられた一対の受け端子４ａ、４ｂに接触する。 The contact portions 33 a and 33 b exposed on the facing surfaces 311 b and 311 c of the plug main body portion 31 are in contact with a pair of receiving terminals 4 a and 4 b provided on the circuit board 4.
この一対の受け端子４ａ、４ｂは、図１に示すように、それぞれ導電性金属板から構成されており、回路基板４の電気回路に接続されている。また、この一対の受け端子４ａ、４ｂは、回転プラグ３を回転軸方向（図１において左右方向）から挟むように設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the pair of receiving terminals 4 a and 4 b are each composed of a conductive metal plate and are connected to an electric circuit of the circuit board 4. The pair of receiving terminals 4a and 4b are provided so as to sandwich the rotary plug 3 from the rotation axis direction (left and right direction in FIG. 1).
そして、図７及び図９に示すように、回転プラグ３が突出位置Ｐにある状態において、一方の受け端子４ａがプラグ本体部３１の対向面３１１ｂに露出した接点部３３ａに対向して押圧接触し、他方の受け端子４ｂがプラグ本体部３１の対向面３１１ｃに露出した接点部３３ｂに対向して押圧接触する。このとき、各受け端子４ａ、４ｂは、各接点部３３ａ、３３ｂの回転軸方向の外側を向く先端面に押圧接触する。 7 and 9, when the rotary plug 3 is in the protruding position P, one receiving terminal 4a is pressed against the contact portion 33a exposed on the opposing surface 311b of the plug body 31. Then, the other receiving terminal 4b presses and contacts the contact portion 33b exposed on the facing surface 311c of the plug body portion 31. At this time, each receiving terminal 4a, 4b press-contacts to the front end surface which faces the outer side of the rotating shaft direction of each contact part 33a, 33b.
なお、図８及び図１０に示すように、回転プラグ３が収容位置Ｑにある状態において、各受け端子４ａ、４ｂは、各接点部３３ａ、３３ｂに対向せずに、また、プラグ本体部３１の対向面３１１ｂ、３１１ｃから離間する。 As shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, when the rotary plug 3 is in the accommodation position Q, the receiving terminals 4a and 4b do not face the contact portions 33a and 33b, and the plug body 31 Are spaced apart from the opposing surfaces 311b and 311c.
また本実施形態のＡＣアダプタ１００は、ケース２と回転プラグ３との間に、突出位置Ｐ（図７参照）と収容位置Ｑ（図８参照）との間の回転移動をガイドするためのガイド機構７を備えている。 Further, the AC adapter 100 of the present embodiment is a guide for guiding the rotational movement between the protruding position P (see FIG. 7) and the storage position Q (see FIG. 8) between the case 2 and the rotary plug 3. A mechanism 7 is provided.
このガイド機構７は、回転プラグ３が回転する際に、回転プラグ３の回転軸が傾いて一対の栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂ及び一対の接点部３３ａ、３３ｂがぐらつかないようにするものである。具体的にガイド機構７は、図２及び図３等に示すように、プラグ本体部３１の回転部３１１の外側周面３１１ａにおいて回転方向に沿って形成されたプラグ側凹部７１と、ケース２側に設けられて、前記プラグ側凹部７１に係合するケース側凸部（不図示）とから構成される。 The guide mechanism 7 prevents the pair of plug blade portions 32a and 32b and the pair of contact portions 33a and 33b from wobbling when the rotary plug 3 rotates and the rotation axis of the rotary plug 3 is inclined. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the guide mechanism 7 includes a plug-side recess 71 formed along the rotation direction on the outer peripheral surface 311 a of the rotating portion 311 of the plug main body portion 31, and the case 2 side. And a case-side convex portion (not shown) that engages with the plug-side concave portion 71.
前記プラグ側凹部７１は、回転部３１１の外側周面３１１ａにおいて、栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂよりも幅方向内側に位置する面に形成されている。また、プラグ側凹部７１は、プラグ本体部３１が突出位置Ｐ及び収容位置Ｑの間を回転する回転角度範囲において、ケース側凸部と係合するように形成されている。本実施形態では、回転プラグ３の回転角度範囲が９０度であり、プラグ側凹部７１は、回転部３１１の外側周面３１１ａにおいて、回転方向に沿って９０度の範囲に亘って形成されている。一方、ケース側凸部は、ケース２（上ケース２１又は下ケース２２）又は回路基板４において、前記回転プラグ３のプラグ側凹部７１に対向する位置に形成されている。なお、図示しないが、本実施形態では、上ケース２１の上壁に形成されている。 The plug-side recess 71 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 311a of the rotating portion 311 on a surface located on the inner side in the width direction than the plug blade portions 32a and 32b. The plug-side recess 71 is formed so as to engage with the case-side protrusion in the rotation angle range in which the plug body 31 rotates between the protruding position P and the storage position Q. In this embodiment, the rotation angle range of the rotary plug 3 is 90 degrees, and the plug-side recess 71 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 311a of the rotary part 311 over a range of 90 degrees along the rotation direction. . On the other hand, the case-side convex portion is formed at a position facing the plug-side concave portion 71 of the rotary plug 3 in the case 2 (upper case 21 or lower case 22) or the circuit board 4. Although not shown, in the present embodiment, it is formed on the upper wall of the upper case 21.
このように構成されたガイド機構７により、回転プラグ３を突出位置Ｐ及び収容位置のＱ間で安定して回転させることができる。なお、本実施形態では、スライド面３１１ｘが球面形状をなし、回転支持部に対してぐらつき易いことから、ガイド機構７を設けることの効果が顕著となる。 With the guide mechanism 7 configured as described above, the rotary plug 3 can be stably rotated between the protruding position P and the accommodation position Q. In the present embodiment, since the slide surface 311x has a spherical shape and is easily wobbled with respect to the rotation support portion, the effect of providing the guide mechanism 7 becomes remarkable.
さらに本実施形態のＡＣアダプタ１００は、図２、図９及び図１０等に示すように、ケース２と回転プラグ３との間に、回転プラグ３を突出位置Ｐ及び収容位置Ｑの各位置で、ロックするためのロック機構８を備えている。 Furthermore, the AC adapter 100 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the rotary plug 3 is placed between the case 2 and the rotary plug 3 at each of the protruding position P and the storage position Q, as shown in FIGS. A lock mechanism 8 for locking is provided.
このロック機構８は、プラグ本体部３１の対向面３１１ｂ、３１１ｃの一方に設けられたロック用軸部８１と、ケース２側に設けられて、前記突出位置Ｐ及び前記収容位置Ｑにおいて、前記ロック用軸部８１を挟持する挟持体８２とからなる。 The lock mechanism 8 is provided on one side of the opposing surfaces 311b and 311c of the plug main body 31 and on the case 2 side. It comprises a sandwiching body 82 that sandwiches the shaft 81 for use.
ロック用軸部８１は、プラグ本体部３１の回転軸と同軸上に設けられており、本実施形態では、正四角柱形状をなすものである。また、挟持体８２は、弾性の強い樹脂製のものであり、概略上向きコの字形状をなすものである。 The locking shaft portion 81 is provided coaxially with the rotation shaft of the plug main body portion 31. In this embodiment, the locking shaft portion 81 has a regular quadrangular prism shape. Further, the sandwiching body 82 is made of a highly elastic resin and has a generally upward U-shape.
このように構成されたロック機構８により、回転プラグ３が突出位置Ｐ及び収容位置Ｑの各位置にある状態では、ロック用軸部８１の平らな側周面が、挟持体８２により適度な付勢力で挟持される。一方、回転プラグ３が突出位置Ｐと収容位置Ｑとの間を移動している途中では、挟持体８２がロック用軸部８１の角部に押し広げられて、ロック用軸部８１の角部が挟持体により強い付勢力で挟まれる。このため、回転プラグ３は、突出位置Ｐ及び収容位置Ｑの各位置で安定し、それらの間を回転プラグ３が移動する間にクリック感が生じる。 With the lock mechanism 8 configured in this manner, when the rotary plug 3 is in each of the protruding position P and the receiving position Q, the flat side peripheral surface of the locking shaft portion 81 is appropriately attached by the sandwiching body 82. It is pinched by power. On the other hand, while the rotary plug 3 is moving between the projecting position P and the accommodation position Q, the sandwiching body 82 is spread over the corners of the locking shaft 81 and the corners of the locking shaft 81 are moved. Is sandwiched by the sandwiching body with a strong biasing force. For this reason, the rotary plug 3 is stabilized at each of the protruding position P and the accommodation position Q, and a click feeling is generated while the rotary plug 3 moves between them.
＜本実施形態の効果＞
このように構成した本実施形態に係るＡＣアダプタ１００によれば、プラグ本体部３１の環状面３１１ａにスライド面３１１ｘを形成しているので、プラグ本体部３１の両側面３１１ｂ、３１１ｃに回転軸部を設ける必要が無い。これにより、従来の回転軸部により生じていた空間を削減することができ、ケース２の内容積を大きくすることができる。

There is no need to provide. Thereby, the space which had arisen with the conventional rotating shaft part can be reduced, and the internal volume of case 2 can be enlarged.
また、回転軸部に接点部３３ａ、３３ｂを設ける構成では無いので、接点部２を設ける範囲を広げることができる。つまり、プラグ本体部３１の環状面３１１ａにスライド面３１１ｘを形成しているので、プラグ本体部３１の対向面３１１ｂ、３１１ｃの面積を大きくすることができる。これにより、接点部３３ａ、３３ｂを設ける範囲を広げることができ、ケース２内に設けられる回路基板４の受け端子４ａ、４ｂを配置する場所の自由度を増やし、スペースの有効活用が可能となる。 Moreover, since it is not the structure which provides the contact parts 33a and 33b in a rotating shaft part, the range which provides the contact part 2 can be expanded. That is, since the slide surface 311x is formed on the annular surface 311a of the plug body 31, the areas of the facing surfaces 311b and 311c of the plug body 31 can be increased. Thereby, the range in which the contact portions 33a and 33b are provided can be widened, the degree of freedom of the place where the receiving terminals 4a and 4b of the circuit board 4 provided in the case 2 are arranged is increased, and the space can be effectively used. .
さらに、プラグ本体部３１の両側面３１１ｂ、３１１ｃに回転軸部を設ける必要が無く、回転軸部に接点部３３ａ、３３ｂを露出させるための導電性部材６ａ、６ｂの折り曲げ加工を不要にすることができる。これにより、平板状の導電性部材６ａ、６ｂにより栓刃部３２ａ、３２ｂ及び接点部３３ａ、３３ｂを構成することができ、加工コストを削減することができるとともに、曲げ加工の加工精度に起因する樹脂成型時の樹脂バリを抑制することができる。特に本実施形態では、横回転型の回転プラグ３を備えたＡＣアダプタ１００であり、従来の回転プラグに設けられた回転軸部の表面に接点部を露出させる構成による課題を好適に解消することができる。 Furthermore, it is not necessary to provide a rotating shaft portion on both side surfaces 311b and 311c of the plug body portion 31, and it is not necessary to bend the conductive members 6a and 6b to expose the contact portions 33a and 33b on the rotating shaft portion. Can do. Thereby, the plug blade portions 32a and 32b and the contact portions 33a and 33b can be configured by the flat conductive members 6a and 6b, and the processing cost can be reduced and the processing accuracy of the bending processing is caused. Resin burrs during resin molding can be suppressed. In particular, in the present embodiment, the AC adapter 100 including the lateral rotation type rotary plug 3 is used to suitably solve the problem due to the configuration in which the contact portion is exposed on the surface of the rotary shaft portion provided in the conventional rotary plug. Can do.
