Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle-side connector fitted to a charging connector.

For example, a vehicle such as a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle is equipped with a battery for supplying electric power to the motor. This battery can be charged from the outside of the vehicle when the amount of charge decreases. Therefore, for example, a vehicle-side connector described in Patent Document 1 is attached to the body panel.
Since this vehicle-side connector handles high-voltage power, a lid that covers the fitting surface with the charging connector is provided on the connector housing so as to be openable and closable when charging is not performed. The opening / closing mechanism having the lid portion has a lid portion from a closed position that covers the fitting surface when the charging connector is not fitted to an open position where the fitting surface is exposed when the charging connector is fitted. An urging member for urging and a pressing member for locking the lid portion and holding it in the closed position are provided. When the charging connector is fitted into the connector housing, the latching state between the lid and the pressing member is released, and the lid is displaced from the closed position to the open position by the biasing force of the biasing member. The mating surface is exposed to the outside.
By the way, in the lid opening / closing mechanism, if the urging force of the urging member is strong, the lid is opened with force, so that the burden on the lid is large, and there is a risk of causing damage to the opening / closing mechanism and the periphery of the lid. Therefore, the lid is gently operated using a rotary oil damper. As such a technique, the thing of patent document 2 and patent document 3 is known, for example.

However, since the price of the oil damper member is expensive, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost increases. However, if the urging force of the urging member is too weak, the lid portion stops halfway, and the fitting surface of the connector housing may not be completely exposed.
The present invention has been completed based on the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to gently operate the lid by an inexpensive member that replaces the oil damper.

As means for achieving the above object, the present invention provides a vehicle-side connector to which a charging connector is fitted when charging a vehicle battery, and a fitting surface to which the charging connector is fitted. A connector housing, a lid that is cantilevered on the connector housing, and is capable of rotating between a closed position that covers the fitting surface and an open position that exposes the fitting surface, and the connector housing A biasing member that is interposed in the lid portion and biases the lid portion from the closed position to the open position, and one of the connector housing and the lid portion has a rotation shaft of the lid portion. A receiving portion is provided in the passing position to house the elastic member inside, and on the other side, a pressing portion is provided at a position facing the inner surface of the receiving portion, and the lid portion is moved from the closed position to the open position. When displaced to The inner surface and the pressing portion of the volume portion having characterized in that displaces in opposite direction while compressing the elastic member.

Thereby, the force which rotates a cover part is relieve | moderated by the frictional force which arises between any one of the inner surface of an accommodating part or a press part, and an elastic member, and can operate | move a cover part gently. Thus, the manufacturing cost of the vehicle-side connector can be reduced by using an inexpensive elastic member as a damper without using an expensive oil damper.
Moreover, since it is not necessary to assemble an oil damper, which is a separate part, to the vehicle-side connector, the housing portion and the pressing portion can be configured as a part of the damper. Thereby, a vehicle side connector can be reduced in size.
Furthermore, by providing the accommodating portion and the pressing portion at a position where the rotation axis of the lid portion passes, the distance that either the accommodating portion or the pressing portion slides with the elastic member can be reduced. This is suitable for downsizing the side connector. Further, since the elastic member is used between the accommodating portion and the pressing portion, rattling between the connector housing and the lid portion can be absorbed by the elastic member, and the lid portion can be gently rotated.

The following configuration is desirable as an embodiment of the present invention.
The pressing portion is disposed at a position through which the rotation axis of the lid portion passes in the housing portion, and the elastic member is arranged in an axial direction of the rotation axis of the lid portion by the pressing portion and the inner surface of the housing portion. It is good also as a structure compressed in the orthogonal radial direction.

Thereby, the force which rotates a cover part is relieve | moderated and a cover part can be rotated gently.

The pressing portion is a metal support shaft disposed on the rotation shaft of the lid portion in the housing portion, and the support shaft rotatably supports the lid portion, The accommodating portion is made of synthetic resin and has an inner peripheral surface that is provided to face the outer peripheral surface of the support shaft, and the elastic member includes an inner peripheral surface that is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the support shaft, and the It is good also as a structure provided in the cylindrical shape which has an outer peripheral surface closely_contact | adhered to the inner peripheral surface of an accommodating part.
The surface of the metal support shaft is generally polished smoothly and is more slippery than the resin. According to such a configuration, in addition to the metal support shaft formed more smoothly and slippery than the resin presses the elastic member, the contact area between the outer peripheral surface of the support shaft and the elastic member is set to the inner periphery of the housing portion. Since the contact area between the surface and the elastic member can be made smaller, the elastic member rotates around the support shaft together with the lid. Accordingly, the lid can be operated smoothly by selectively sliding the support shaft and the elastic member from the closed position to the open position.

The accommodating portion has an opening that opens to one of the axial directions of the rotation axis of the lid, and the pressing portion is exposed to the opening by being attached to the opening of the accommodating portion. It is good also as a structure which has compressed the edge part of the said elastic member in the axial direction of the rotating shaft of the said cover part.
According to such a configuration, the elastic member is compressed in the axial direction of the rotation axis of the lid portion by the back wall and the pressing portion of the housing portion, so that a frictional force is generated between the back wall of the housing portion and the pressing portion. Can be generated. Thereby, the force which rotates a cover part is relieve | moderated and a cover part can be rotated gently.

One of the accommodating portion and the elastic member may be provided with an engaging protrusion, and the other may be provided with an engaging recess that engages with the engaging protrusion.
According to such a configuration, since the elastic member is fixed to the housing portion, the inner surface of the housing portion and the elastic member do not slide, and the elastic member and the pressing portion always slide. . Thereby, for example, even when the elastic member and the pressing portion slide to generate shavings, the shavings can be discharged to the outside from the opening of the housing portion, and the shavings accumulate in the housing portion. Can be prevented.
The back wall of the housing portion is provided to be inclined so as not to be orthogonal to the rotation axis of the lid portion, and the elastic member is located on the opposite side of the end portion of the elastic member and the back wall It is good also as a structure which has the inclination contact surface which carries out surface contact.
According to such a configuration, in addition to the engagement between the engagement protrusion and the engagement recess, the back wall and the inclined contact surface are brought into close contact with each other, so that the elastic member can be reliably fixed to the lid portion. it can.

  According to the present invention, the lid can be gently operated by an inexpensive member that replaces the oil damper.
