摘要:
An electric vehicle charging connector used for charging a power battery of an electric vehicle includes connector holder and a display section mounted in an upper portion of the connector holder. The display section includes red and green light-emitting diodes and a seven-segment two-digit numeric display including light-emitting diodes. The red light-emitting diode is turned on while the power battery is being charged. The green light-emitting diode is turned on instead of the red light-emitting diode when charging has been completed. Either the time elapsed after the charging operation has been initiated or the remaining capacity of the power battery is displayed by the numeric display.

To prevent increase in stress on a soldered join between a terminal pin and a circuit board in the event of thermal expansion, a support (22) with a larger diameter and a recess (21) with a smaller diameter are formed on a terminal pin (20). An alignment plate (30) is arranged to be movable with respect to a connector housing (11) between a support position in which the support member (22) is a close fit in a position fixing hole (31), and a release position in which the recess (21) is a loose fit. This eliminates the increase in stress on the soldered portion (M) due to differing rates of thermal expansion and contraction of the circuit board (P) and alignment plate (30).

Groups of magnets are respectively provided on the joint surfaces of a vehicle-side connector and a power-supply-side connector in such a way that the N and S poles of a plurality of permanent magnets are alternately arranged in a circle. When charging is carried out, the magnetic attraction generated by placing the heteropolar magnets in both groups of magnets opposite to one another is utilized for bringing the vehicle-side connector and the power-supply-side connector into engagement with each other. After the charging, the group of magnets of the power-supply-side connector are turned by one pitch to place the homopolar magnets in both groups of magnets opposite to one another, whereby both connectors are easily separated from each other because of the magnetic repulsive force generated therebetween.

To facilitate the charging of an electric automotive vehicle, a primary coil 31 connected with a charging power source is so provided as to project from a wall surface W of a parking space. An electric automotive vehicle E is advanced toward the wall surface W and parked in a position where the primary coil 31 is accommodated in a receptacle 11 provided below a front bumper B of the vehicle E. Then, a pressure switch 40 provided in a shock absorbing material 39 operates to detect the presence of the vehicle E, and the primary coil 31 is excited. A secondary coil 14 is provided above the receptacle 11. A voltage is generated in the secondary coil 14 by action of electromagnetic induction, thereby charging a battery 19.

A breaker device is provided to prevent an insufficient engagement of electrodes. The device, according to the invention, is excellent in safety because of its construction in which a conductive path is located inside the casing 1 and is allowed to have a compact configuration of particularly low height because a handle 40 can be inclined to its resting position. When the handle 40 is inclined to the resting position while a movable electrode 31 is insufficiently engaged, engaging portions 77 come into contact with receiving portions 75 and a lever action works with the contact positions of the engaging portions 77 and the receiving portions 75 as a fulcrum. As a result, a rotating force applied to an operable portion 40A is translated into a downward acting engaging force applied to the movable electrode 31 via rotation center shafts 45 and a mount body 35. In other words, since the movable electrode 31 is brought into its properly engaged state by inclining the handle 40 to the resting position, the insufficient engagement of the movable electrode 31 can be prevented.

An illumination apparatus can enhance brightness of illumination while minimizing the number of dot-like light sources. The illumination apparatus includes a light guide plate having side surfaces and a plurality of LEDs disposed on a substrate to direct light to the side surfaces. Incident lights from the LEDs illuminate a front surface of the light guide plate substantially uniformly. The illumination apparatus further includes a holder disposed between the side surface of the light guide plate and the substrate for surrounding the respective LEDs and their light paths together and filler blocks disposed on the substrate to close gaps between adjacent LEDs. The filler blocks reflect a part of the reflected light at least from the light guide plate or the holder.

A connector for a printed circuit board which minimizes the deformation of the positioning member for aligning terminals. The engaging members are located at the outside of guide surfaces formed on the outer surfaces of the housing of the connector. The spacing between the engaging members is longer than if they were located inwardly of the guide walls projecting from the front surface of the housing. Accordingly, the deformation per unit length of the positioning member is small. Such a small deformation of the positioning member minimizes the misalignment of the holes into which the terminals are to enter. Thus, the terminals can be aligned with great accuracy.

In a magnetic coupling device for charging an electric vehicle which is used for charging a power storage device of the electric vehicle by means of a charging power source, a primary coil unit is inserted into a receiving unit which is on an electric vehicle and in which a secondary coil unit is disposed. In the device, junction faces of primary and secondary cores are formed in the insertion direction of the primary coil unit, and primary and secondary coils are disposed at positions where, when the primary coil unit 30 is inserted, the primary and secondary coils do not interfere with each other. Wiping members which wipe the junction faces are disposed. The insertion direction of the primary coil unit is in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the unit.
