Abstract
A charging device is provided. The charging device includes an output terminal unit connected to an input terminal unit of a battery pack. The output terminal unit includes a terminal body including an output terminal connected to the input terminal unit and a terminal cover which covers the output terminal before the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit and through which the output terminal passes while the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit.
Claims20
A charging device comprising:
- an output terminal unit connected to an input terminal unit of a battery pack,
- wherein the output terminal unit comprises:
- a terminal body comprising an output terminal connected to the input terminal unit;
- and
- a terminal cover which covers the output terminal before the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit and through which the output terminal passes while the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit,
- wherein a rib penetration part through which a pressing rib extending from the battery pack passes is defined in the terminal cover,
- the output terminal unit further comprises a lever coupled to the terminal cover and selectively hooked with the terminal body, and
- the lever is rotated by the pressing rib passing through the rib penetration part while the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit so that the hooked state of the lever with respect to the terminal body is released.
A charging device comprising:
- an output terminal unit connected to an input terminal unit of a battery pack;
- and
- a micro switch applying power to the output terminal unit,
- wherein the output terminal unit comprises:
- a terminal body comprising an output terminal connected to the input terminal unit;
- a terminal cover which covers the output terminal before the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit and through which the output terminal passes while the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit;
- and
- a lever rotatably connected to the terminal cover,
- wherein a rib penetration part through which a pressing rib extending from the battery pack passes is defined in the terminal cover, and
- the lever is rotated by the pressing rib passing through the rib penetration part to press the micro switch, thereby turning on the micro switch.
A charging device comprising:
- an output terminal unit connected to an input terminal unit of a battery pack,
- wherein the output terminal unit comprises:
- a terminal cover having a terminal penetration part;
- a terminal body comprising a frame to which the output terminal passing through the terminal penetration part is fixed;
- and
- a moving mechanism moving by the battery pack while the battery pack is mounted to move the terminal body so that the output terminal passes through the terminal penetration part to selectively protrude to the outside of the terminal cover,
- wherein the moving mechanism comprises:
- a lever connected to the frame;
- and
- a link pressed by the battery pack to operate the lever,
- wherein the charging device further comprises a fixing unit comprising a link support part guiding vertical movement of the link and a lever fixing part to which the lever is rotatably coupled.
