Description

本発明は、外部電源に接続した差込プラグが接続されて通電する充電装置に関する。   BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a charging device connected to an external power supply and connected to be energized.

EV(Electric Vehicle)やPHV(Plug−in Hybrid Vehicle)などの車両は、車載バッテリに蓄電した電気(電力)を動力源として走行する。これらの車両は、車載バッテリを充電するための充電装置を備えている。充電装置は、車両の外面にもうけられた充電装置の充電用コネクタに、外部電源に接続した差込プラグを接続して行われる。   A vehicle such as an EV (Electric Vehicle) or a PHV (Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle) travels using electricity (electric power) stored in an on-vehicle battery as a power source. These vehicles are equipped with a charging device for charging the on-board battery. The charging device is performed by connecting a plug for connection to an external power supply to a charging connector of the charging device received on the outer surface of the vehicle.

充電装置は、差込プラグが接続する充電用コネクタが、車両の外表面に開口した充電口の内部に形成された収容凹部の内部に形成される。そして、収容凹部には、照明装置が組み付けられる。照明装置を組み付けることで、差込プラグを操作するときに、充電用コネクタが視認可能になる。   In the charging device, a charging connector to which the plug is connected is formed in an accommodation recess formed inside a charging port opened in the outer surface of the vehicle. And an illuminating device is assembled | attached to an accommodating recessed part. By assembling the lighting device, the charging connector can be visually recognized when operating the insertion plug.

照明装置は、例えば、特許文献1に記載されている。特許文献1には、充電コネクタの受電側コネクタ周辺に設けられ、且つ構成に光源を含む充電コネクタ用照明ユニットにおいて、光源を光透過性ハウジングに収容し、光透過性ハウジングの光透過部を非光透過性カバーにて着脱自在に覆い、非光透過性カバーに光源からの光を通過させ受電側コネクタを照射する光通過窓を貫通形成する充電コネクタ用照明ユニットが記載されている。   A lighting device is described, for example, in Patent Document 1. In Patent Document 1, in a lighting unit for a charging connector provided around a power receiving side connector of a charging connector and including a light source in the configuration, the light source is accommodated in a light transmitting housing, and the light transmitting portion of the light transmitting housing is not A lighting unit for a charging connector is described, which is removably covered by a light transmitting cover, and through which a light passing window is formed to pass light from the light source to the non-light transmitting cover and to illuminate a power receiving connector.

特許5684600号Patent 5684600

車両のように屋外で使用する装置では、雨水の浸入を防止する機構が求められている。特許文献1に記載の照明装置では、ハーネスを介して侵入する水をパッキンで止めるという光源自体の止水構造が記載されている。
従来の照明装置では、この光源自体の止水構造のみであり、光源と意匠カバーとの間の止水については何らの記載もされていない。
A device that is used outdoors, such as a vehicle, is required to have a mechanism that prevents rainwater from entering. In the lighting device described in Patent Document 1, a water stop structure of the light source itself is described in which water entering through the harness is stopped by packing.
In the conventional lighting device, it is only the water stop structure of this light source itself, and nothing is described about the water stop between the light source and the design cover.

光源と意匠カバーとの間の止水構造として、クッション性をもつシール部材を両者の間に挟み込むことが一般的に行われる。特に、意匠カバーの表面に光源が配置された構成の照明装置では、意匠カバーの表面上にシール部材を配置し、その表面上に光源が配置される。   As a water blocking structure between the light source and the design cover, generally, a cushioning seal member is sandwiched between the two. In particular, in the illumination device having a configuration in which the light source is disposed on the surface of the design cover, the seal member is disposed on the surface of the design cover, and the light source is disposed on the surface.

シール部材を挟み込む構成では、シール部材が露出しているため、シール部材に直接水圧が加わる。そうすると、シール部材自身の劣化が促進される。また、シール部材の厚みの分だけすき間が生じて見栄えが悪化する。
さらに、シール部材は、止水構造を得るために環状であることが多く、このような形状は組み付け性(貼り付け時の作業性)が低いという問題があった。
In the configuration in which the seal member is sandwiched, since the seal member is exposed, water pressure is directly applied to the seal member. Then, deterioration of the seal member itself is promoted. Further, the gap is generated by the thickness of the seal member, and the appearance is deteriorated.
Furthermore, the seal member is often annular in order to obtain a water blocking structure, and such a shape has a problem that the assemblability (workability at the time of attachment) is low.

本発明は上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、光源(照明部)と、光源が固定される意匠カバー(壁部材)との間の止水性に優れた充電装置を提供することを課題とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a charging device which is excellent in waterproofness between a light source (illumination unit) and a design cover (wall member) to which the light source is fixed. Do.

該照明部は、光を発する発光部を備えた本体部と、該壁部材を貫通するとともに該発光部に通電する電気が流れるコネクタ部と、を有し、
該壁部材と該照明部の対向面の少なくとも一方が、該コネクタ部が該壁部材を貫通する該貫通孔の外周に、他方に対して離反した段差部を有し、該両面接着テープが圧縮した状態で該段差部に配されるとともに、該壁部材と該照明部とが該段差部の外周で密着していることを特徴とする。
The charging device of the present invention for solving the above problems is
A wall member having a current-carrying connector portion to which a plug-in plug connected to an external power source is connected,
An illumination unit which is received by the wall member and irradiates light to the conduction connector;
A joint having a double-sided adhesive tape for joining and fixing the lighting unit to the wall member;
A charging device having
The lighting unit includes a main body including a light emitting unit that emits light, and a connector unit that penetrates the wall member and through which electricity flows to the light emitting unit.
At least one of the wall member and the facing surface of the lighting unit has a stepped portion separated from the other on the outer periphery of the through hole through which the connector portion penetrates the wall member, and the double-sided adhesive tape is compressed The light emitting device is characterized in that the wall member and the illumination portion are in close contact with each other on the outer periphery of the step portion, while being disposed in the step portion in a state of being closed.

本発明の充電装置は、差込プラグが接続する通電コネクタ部を備えた壁部材に、通電コネクタ部に光を照射する照明部がもうけられている。このため、通電コネクタ部に光を照射することができ、通電コネクタ部の差し込み位置を確実に視認できる。   In the charging device of the present invention, the illumination unit for irradiating the conductive connector with light is provided on the wall member provided with the conductive connector to which the plug is connected. For this reason, light can be irradiated to the electricity supply connector part, and the insertion position of the electricity supply connector part can be visually recognized reliably.

そして、本発明の充電装置は、壁部材と照明部の対向面の少なくとも一方が、コネクタ部が壁部材を貫通する貫通孔の外周に、他方に対して離反した段差部を有し、接合部の両面接着テープが圧縮した状態で段差部に配されるとともに、壁部材と照明部とが段差部の外周で密着している。壁部材と照明部とが段差部の外周で密着していることで、壁部材と照明部との間にすき間が生じなくなっており、すき間を介してコネクタ部及び貫通孔側に異物が侵入することが抑えられている。   And in the charging apparatus of the present invention, at least one of the facing surfaces of the wall member and the lighting unit has a stepped portion separated from the other on the outer periphery of the through hole where the connector portion penetrates the wall member, The double-sided adhesive tape is disposed in the step portion in a compressed state, and the wall member and the illumination portion are in close contact with the outer periphery of the step portion. The close contact between the wall member and the illumination portion on the outer periphery of the step portion prevents a gap from being generated between the wall member and the illumination portion, and foreign matter intrudes into the connector portion and the through hole through the gap. Is being suppressed.

その上で、本発明の充電装置は、水等の液体(不定形の異物)や微細な異物が壁部材と照明部との間を介して侵入しても、圧縮した状態で段差部に設けられた両面接着テープにより、更なる侵入が抑えられる。
この結果、本発明の充電装置は、異物が貫通孔を介して充電装置1の内部に侵入することが抑えられる効果を発揮する。
In addition, the charging device of the present invention is provided in the step portion in a compressed state even if a liquid such as water (indeterminate foreign matter) or a fine foreign matter intrudes between the wall member and the illumination unit. The double sided adhesive tape suppresses further penetration.
As a result, the charging device of the present invention exerts the effect of suppressing foreign matter from entering the inside of the charging device 1 through the through hole.

また、本発明の充電装置は、壁部材と照明部とが段差部の外周で密着していることから、壁部材と照明部との間にすき間が生じなくなっている。この構成は、充電装置の照明部を見たときにすき間が視認できない構成であり、見栄えの低下が抑えられている。   Further, in the charging device of the present invention, since the wall member and the lighting unit are in close contact with each other on the outer periphery of the step portion, a gap does not occur between the wall member and the lighting unit. This configuration is a configuration in which the gap can not be visually recognized when the lighting unit of the charging apparatus is viewed, and the reduction in appearance is suppressed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the charging apparatus 1 includes an opening 10, a housing recess 11, a recess inner wall 12, a charging connector 13 (130, 131), an illumination unit 2, a double-sided adhesive tape 3, and the like. FIG. 1 is a front view of the vehicle charging device 1 in which the opening 10 of the charging connector 13 or the like is viewed from the outside of the vehicle. In addition, about the structure which the charging apparatus 1 of this form does not mention in particular, it is the structure similar to the conventional charging device.
In the charging device 1 of the present embodiment, the opening 10 is opened on the outer surface of the vehicle body of the electric vehicle, and the housing recess 11 recessed on the vehicle interior side is formed.

開口部10は、フタ部材(例えば、リッド)が接続部材(例えば、ヒンジ)を介して開閉可能に取り付けられている。フタ部材及び接続部材は、いずれも図示しない。フタ部材を閉じた状態では、開口部10から収容凹部11内に雨水が浸入するのを防止できる。フタ部材を開いた状態では、収容凹部11及び充電用コネクタ13が露出し、視認及び操作(差込プラグの接続)が可能となる。   In the opening 10, a lid member (for example, a lid) is attached so as to be able to open and close via a connection member (for example, a hinge). Both the lid member and the connection member are not shown. When the lid member is closed, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering the accommodation recess 11 from the opening 10. When the lid member is open, the housing recess 11 and the charging connector 13 are exposed, and visual recognition and operation (connection of the plug-in plug) become possible.

収容凹部11は、凹部内壁12により区画される。凹部内壁12は、収容凹部11の内表面を形成する。収容凹部11は、その底面に充電用コネクタ13が収容配置されている。凹部内壁12は、壁部材に相当する。   The housing recess 11 is partitioned by the recess inner wall 12. The recess inner wall 12 forms an inner surface of the housing recess 11. In the housing recess 11, the charging connector 13 is housed and arranged on the bottom surface thereof. The recess inner wall 12 corresponds to a wall member.

充電用コネクタ13は、第1充電用コネクタ131と、第2充電用コネクタ132と、を有する。第1充電用コネクタ131は、家庭用電源等の交流電流で充電するときに用いられる。第2充電用コネクタ132は、充電スタンド等の直流電流で充電するときに用いられる。充電用コネクタ13(130,131)は、通電コネクタ部に相当する。   The charging connector 13 has a first charging connector 131 and a second charging connector 132. The first charging connector 131 is used when charging with an alternating current such as a household power supply. The second charging connector 132 is used when charging with a direct current such as a charging stand. The charging connector 13 (130, 131) corresponds to a current-carrying connector portion.

充電用コネクタ13は、外部電源に接続した差込プラグが接続する。そして、充電用コネクタ13及び差込プラグを介して、外部電源から充電電流が充電装置に通電する。
凹部内壁12は、コネクタ27が貫通する貫通孔14が開口する。貫通孔14は、照明部2が組み付けられる位置に開口する。
The charging connector 13 is connected to a plug-in plug connected to an external power supply. Then, a charging current flows from the external power supply to the charging device through the charging connector 13 and the plug.
The through hole 14 through which the connector 27 passes is opened in the recess inner wall 12. The through hole 14 opens at a position where the illumination unit 2 is assembled.

貫通孔14の開口を区画する開口部の端縁部は、図2〜図3に断面図で示したように、開口部が車両内部側に位置する略クランク状に曲成した段差部15が形成される。   The end edge of the opening defining the opening of the through hole 14 is, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIGS. 2 to 3, a step 15 in which the opening is bent in a substantially crank shape located inside the vehicle. It is formed.

段差部15は、その外周よりも車両内部側に位置するように形成される。段差部15は、貫通孔14の開口部に沿って環状をなしている。段差部15の幅(貫通孔14の開口での径方向の長さ)は、限定されるものではないが、後述の両面接着テープ3を接着可能な幅である。また、段差部15の外周(図2〜図3の凹部内壁12の表面12aに相当)は、照明部2の基板固定部材24の底面24aと当接可能な平面をなしている。   The stepped portion 15 is formed to be located inside the vehicle than the outer periphery thereof. The stepped portion 15 has an annular shape along the opening of the through hole 14. The width of the step portion 15 (the length in the radial direction at the opening of the through hole 14) is not limited, but is a width to which the double-sided adhesive tape 3 described later can be adhered. Further, the outer periphery of the step portion 15 (corresponding to the surface 12 a of the recess inner wall 12 in FIGS. 2 to 3) forms a flat surface that can be in contact with the bottom surface 24 a of the substrate fixing member 24 of the illumination unit 2.

段差部15の深さ(段差部15の表面15aと凹部内壁12の表面12aとの差)は、限定されるものではない。少なくとも両面接着テープ3の厚みよりも薄い。詳細には、後述の両面接着テープ3が圧縮した状態で発生する弾性力により決定される。   The depth of the stepped portion 15 (the difference between the surface 15 a of the stepped portion 15 and the surface 12 a of the inner wall 12 of the recessed portion) is not limited. At least thinner than the thickness of the double-sided adhesive tape 3. Specifically, it is determined by an elastic force generated in a compressed state of the double-sided adhesive tape 3 described later.

(照明部)
照明部2は、図2〜4に示したように、照明本体部20、光源部21、光透過カバー22、照明カバー23、基板固定部材24,コネクタ27などを備えている。図2は図1中のII−II断面を、図3は図1中のIII−III断面を、それぞれ示す断面図である。

照明本体部20は、光源部21、光透過カバー22、照明カバー23、基板固定部材24等を備え、充電用コネクタ13に光を照射する。 The illumination main body unit 20 includes a light source unit 21, a light transmission cover 22, an illumination cover 23, a substrate fixing member 24 and the like, and emits light to the charging connector 13 .

光源部21は、光を発するLED210と、LED210が組み付けられる基板211と、を備える。LED210は、充電用コネクタ13に照射される光を発する。光源部21を構成するLED210及び基板211は、従来の照明装置と同様とすることができる。LED210は、一つであっても複数個を設置しても、いずれでもよい。LED210は、充電用コネクタ13以外に照射される光を発してもよい。充電用コネクタ13以外とは、例えば、差込プラグを差し込もうとする操作者の足下周辺を挙げることができる。   The light source unit 21 includes an LED 210 that emits light, and a substrate 211 on which the LED 210 is assembled. The LED 210 emits light to be applied to the charging connector 13. The LEDs 210 and the substrate 211 that constitute the light source unit 21 can be similar to those of the conventional lighting device. The number of LEDs 210 may be one or plural. The LED 210 may emit light to be emitted to other than the charging connector 13. The parts other than the charging connector 13 can include, for example, the area around the foot of the operator who tries to insert the plug-in plug.

光透過カバー22は、LED210が発した光を透過する透明樹脂よりなる。光透過カバー22は、基板固定部材24と組み付けられて、光源部21を内部に収容する空間を区画する。光透過カバー22は、略槽状の形状を備える。光透過カバー22と基板固定部材24とは、係止ツメで係止(固定)される。   The light transmission cover 22 is made of a transparent resin that transmits the light emitted from the LED 210. The light transmission cover 22 is assembled with the substrate fixing member 24 to define a space for accommodating the light source unit 21 therein. The light transmission cover 22 has a substantially tank shape. The light transmission cover 22 and the substrate fixing member 24 are locked (fixed) by the locking claws.

基板固定部材24は、基板211を支持・固定する基板固定部240を備えた略板状の部材である。基板固定部材24は、充電装置1に組み付けられたときに、その底面24aが凹部内壁12の表面12aと当接する。   The substrate fixing member 24 is a substantially plate-like member provided with a substrate fixing portion 240 for supporting and fixing the substrate 211. When the substrate fixing member 24 is assembled to the charging device 1, the bottom surface 24 a abuts on the surface 12 a of the recess inner wall 12.

基板固定部240は、基板211を支持可能な形態で設けられる。基板固定部240は、基板固定部材24の板状の広がる方向に対し、立設した状態で設けられる。基板固定部240は、基板211を厚さ方向や幅方向(基板の広がる方向)の両端に設けられ、基板211を支持(挟持)する。この形態では、一対の基板固定部240の間に基板211を差し込むことで、基板211の組み付けを行うことができる。   The substrate fixing unit 240 is provided in a form capable of supporting the substrate 211. The substrate fixing portion 240 is provided upright in the plate-like spreading direction of the substrate fixing member 24. The substrate fixing portion 240 is provided at both ends of the substrate 211 in the thickness direction and the width direction (direction in which the substrate spreads), and supports (holds) the substrate 211. In this embodiment, by inserting the substrate 211 between the pair of substrate fixing parts 240, the substrate 211 can be assembled.

基板固定部材24は、固定部ネジ25が貫通する貫通孔26が開口する。固定部ネジ25は、貫通孔26を貫通した状態で凹部内壁12に係止(具体的には、螺合)し、基板固定部材24が凹部内壁12に圧接した状態(密着した状態)で固定される。   The substrate fixing member 24 has a through hole 26 through which the fixing portion screw 25 passes. The fixing portion screw 25 is locked (specifically, screwed) to the recess inner wall 12 in a state of penetrating the through hole 26 and fixed in a state where the substrate fixing member 24 is in pressure contact with the recess inner wall 12 Be done.

固定部ネジ25により基板固定部材24を凹部内壁12に係止する構成は、係止部に相当する。そして、固定部ネジ25は、ネジ部材に相当する。なお、本形態では係止部として固定部ネジ25を用いたが、基板固定部材24を凹部内壁12に付勢する(圧接状態に保持する)クリップ部材を用いてもよい。   The configuration in which the substrate fixing member 24 is locked to the recess inner wall 12 by the fixing portion screw 25 corresponds to the locking portion. The fixing portion screw 25 corresponds to a screw member. Although the fixing portion screw 25 is used as the locking portion in the present embodiment, a clip member may be used which biases the substrate fixing member 24 against the inner wall 12 of the recess (held in a pressure contact state).

光透過カバー22の基板固定部材24との当接端部であって、LED210が発した光の照射方向での光透過カバー22の端部は、その厚さが変化する段部220を有する。この段部220に、基板固定部材24の端部が嵌合する。段部220の先端面220aは、基板固定部材24の底面24aと一致するように形成されている。
さらに、段部220を有することで、LED210が発した光の一部が段部220の先端まで導光される。この導光により、段部220が形成されていない場合と比較して、発光面積を広げることができる。
An end of the light transmission cover 22 in contact with the substrate fixing member 24 and an end of the light transmission cover 22 in the irradiation direction of the light emitted from the LED 210 has a stepped portion 220 whose thickness changes. The end of the substrate fixing member 24 is fitted to the step 220. The tip end surface 220 a of the stepped portion 220 is formed to coincide with the bottom surface 24 a of the substrate fixing member 24.
Furthermore, by having the step portion 220, a part of the light emitted from the LED 210 is guided to the tip of the step portion 220. By this light guiding, the light emitting area can be expanded as compared with the case where the step portion 220 is not formed.

(Double-sided adhesive tape)
The double-sided adhesive tape 3 joins and fixes the bottom surface 24 a of the substrate fixing member 24 of the illumination unit 2 to the surface 12 a of the recess inner wall 12. The double-sided adhesive tape 3 has adhesive surfaces on both sides in the thickness direction. The double-sided adhesive tape 3 is formed so as to be elastically deformable in the thickness direction. The double-sided adhesive tape 3 has a configuration in which an adhesive surface is formed on both sides of the foamed resin. The double-sided adhesive tape 3 corresponds to a joint.

両面接着テープ3は、段差部15の深さよりも厚いことで、照明部2が凹部内壁12に組み付けられたときに、圧縮された状態となる。このとき、両面接着テープ3は、段差部15の表面15aと基板固定部材24の底面24aとを互いに離反する方向(圧縮状態が開放する方向)に応力を付与する。両面接着テープ3は、この反発力により、表面15aと底面24aとの間のシール性も発揮する。すなわち、径方向外方から内方に向かって進む異物が貫通孔14に到達することを防止する。   Since the double-sided adhesive tape 3 is thicker than the depth of the step portion 15, the double-sided adhesive tape 3 is in a compressed state when the illumination portion 2 is assembled to the recess inner wall 12. At this time, the double-sided adhesive tape 3 applies stress in the direction in which the surface 15 a of the step portion 15 and the bottom surface 24 a of the substrate fixing member 24 are separated from each other (the direction in which the compressed state is released). The double-sided adhesive tape 3 also exhibits a sealing property between the surface 15a and the bottom surface 24a due to the repulsive force. That is, it prevents that the foreign substance advancing inward from the radial direction outward reaches the through hole 14.
