<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charge connector for detecting breaking failure, and the like of a lock pin for preventing the charge connector from coming off from a charge port.SOLUTION: An elasticity means 12 elastically supports a lock pin 11 through a link member 17 at an advanced position shown in the figure. An edge surface of a lock pin tip part 11a which proceeds into a charge port 7 at the advanced position, is tapered, and the lock pin 11 is moved back against the elasticity means 12 by the charge connector 2, when the charge connector 2 is inserted thereto. When completing the insertion of the charge connector 2, the lock pin tip part 11a recesses a lock hole 2a to prevent the charge connector 2 from coming off from it. A switch 13 detects a retraction of the lock pin 11 during a process of inserting the charge connector, when the switch 13 is not switched during an insertion of the charge connector 2, assuming that breaking failure, and the like of a lock pin 11 has occurred, the charging is inhibited. When the charge connector 2 is removed from the charge port 7, a member 19 is rotated by a motor 20, and the lock pin 11 is retracted by a cam groove 19a.</p> |
