<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lock mechanism for locking a first member (induction coupler for charging) to be inserted into a second member (charging port). SOLUTION: An induction coupler for charging is prevented from being removed before completion of charging by means of a lock mechanism 20. Before insertion of the induction coupler, the lock mechanism is set by the charging port 11 with the lock mechanism. A link 26 is rotated by an actuator 25 for locking and a first pin 21 thereof is coupled with the link 26. The hole provided on the induction coupler is engaged with the first pin for locking with the charging port. A spring actuated release mechanism is coupled with the first pin and thereby the first pin slides within the hole. With movement of a cable 24 and the spring release mechanism, the first pin is released and it is then locked to the first pin, or when the first pin draws back from the hole, the lock mechanism 20 is locked or released.</p> |
