<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To cause a charging connector disengagement prevention mechanism to mechanically cooperate with a lock pin in a projecting state to be in a charging connector disengagement prevention state in the course of inserting a charging connector into a charging port.SOLUTION: In the course of inserting a charging connector 2 into a charging port in an arrow direction in battery charging, a lock pin 11 provided projecting inside the charging port is moved through a solid line position inside a tip opening groove 2a of the charging connector 2 and ultimately to a two-dot chain line position. The lock pin 11 at this time rotates a check rotating member 12 by 90° in an arrow direction pushing a piece 12a intersecting the groove 2a. Such rotation of the member 12 causes the tip 13a of a spring plate 13 to engage with a check projection 12f on the adjacent side in the direction of rotation, and thereby disabling the rotation of the check rotating member 12 in the inverse direction from the rotation position. Such check of the rotating member 12 causes a piece 12b to intersect the groove 2a, and the piece 12b holds the lock pin 11 at the two-dot chain line position as it is, and thereby preventing disengagement of the charging connector 2 during battery charge by the cooperation between the piece 12b and the lock pin 11.</p> |
