DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] (Outline of this embodiment) (1) The mounting structure for a switch component disclosed herein is a mounting structure for a switch component to be mounted on a fixed wall, the mounting structure comprising: a switch component having an operating portion and a terminal connection portion connected to a terminal; and a mounting part for mounting the switch component to the fixed wall, the mounting part comprising: a fixed part mounted on the fixed wall, a movable part to which the switch component is attached, and a connecting part for movably connecting the movable part to the fixed part, the movable part being movable between a first position in which the operating portion is farther away from the fixed wall than the terminal connection portion is, and a second position in which the terminal connection portion is farther away from the fixed wall than the operating portion is, and when the movable part moves from the first position to the second position, at least one of the operating portion and the movable part comes into contact with at least one of the fixed wall and the fixed part, so that the movable part is held in the second position against a force from a first direction, which is a direction approaching the fixed wall.

[0010] When connecting a terminal to the terminal connection part of the switch component, the movable part is moved from the first position to the second position. At that time, at least one of the operating part and the movable part contacts at least one of the fixed wall and the fixed part, so that the movable part is held in the second position against a force from the first direction. In this manner, the terminal can be connected to the terminal connection part while applying a force in the first direction, which makes it easier to connect the terminal. Here, if the first direction is the horizontal direction, for example, the terminal can be connected to the terminal connection part while applying a force in the horizontal direction using a tool.

[0011] (2) The mounting structure for a switch component disclosed herein is a mounting structure for a switch component to be mounted on a fixed wall, comprising: a switch component having an operating portion and a terminal connection portion connected to a terminal; and a mounting part for mounting the switch component to the fixed wall, the mounting part comprising: a fixed portion attached to the fixed wall, a movable portion to which the switch component is attached, and a connecting portion for movably connecting the movable portion to the fixed portion, the movable portion being movable between a first position in which the operating portion is farther away from the fixed wall than the terminal connection portion is, and a second position in which the terminal connection portion is farther away from the fixed wall than the operating portion is, the connecting portion comprising: a fixing unit fixed to the fixed portion and a movable unit fixed to the movable portion,

[0012] When connecting a terminal to the terminal connection part of the switch component, the movable part is moved from the first position to the second position. At that time, the movable unit comes into contact with the fixed unit, so that the movable part is held in the second position against the force from the first direction.

[0013] (3) In the mounting structure for a switch component according to (1) or (2), it is preferable to further include an electric wire connected to the terminal. When connecting a terminal to a terminal connection part, it is necessary to confirm that there is no problem with the electric wire connected to the terminal. For this reason, for example, the electric wire, the terminal connection part, etc. may be colored with a pen to show that the electric wire is correctly connected to the terminal connection part via the terminal. In such a case, since the movable part is held in the second position against the force from the first direction, the work of coloring the electric wire, the terminal connection part, etc. with a pen can be easily performed.

[0014] (4) In the mounting structure for a switch component described in any one of (1) to (3), it is preferable that the movable portion holds the terminal connection portion at a position spaced apart from the fixed wall when in the second position. Since other components or electric wires may be arranged close to the fixed wall, these components and electric wires may get in the way and make it difficult to connect the terminal to the terminal connection part. In this regard, in the above configuration, the terminal connection part is held in a position separated from the fixed wall when in the second position, so that the terminal connection work can be performed without being hindered by other components or electric wires.

[0015] (5) In the mounting structure of a switch component described in any one of (1) to (4), it is preferable that the operating unit is movable between an OFF position in which no current is applied and an ON position in which current is applied, and that when the operating unit is in the OFF position, it comes into contact with the fixed wall, so that the movable unit is held in the second position against the force from the first direction. When connecting the terminal to the terminal connection part, it is necessary to perform the connection work with the operation part in the OFF position. According to the above configuration, the operation part in the OFF position comes into contact with the fixed wall to hold the movable part in the second position, so that it is possible to confirm that the operation part is in the OFF position by the movable part being held in the second position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connection work from being performed by mistake with the operation part in the ON position.

[0016] (6) In the mounting structure for a switch component described in (5), it is preferable that the switch component is a switch component for a main power source. In the case of a main power switch component, it is essential that the connection work be performed in a non-energized state with the operation unit in the OFF position. As described above, since the connection work can be prevented from being performed in a powered state with the operation unit in the ON position, the connection work can be reliably performed in a non-energized state with the operation unit in the OFF position.

[0017] (7) In the mounting structure of the switch component described in (2), it is preferable that the fixing unit includes a fixing fastening member and a fixing connecting portion fastened to the fixed portion by the fixing fastening member, the movable unit includes a movable fastening member and a movable connecting portion fastened to the movable portion by the movable fastening member, and when the movable portion moves from the first posture to the second posture, the movable fastening member comes into contact with the fixing fastening member, so that the movable portion is held in the second posture against the force from the first direction.

[0018] When a terminal is connected to the terminal connection portion of the switch component, the movable part is moved from the first position to the second position. At that time, the movable fastening member comes into contact with the fixing fastening member, so that the movable part is held in the second position against the force from the first direction.

[0019] (8) The power supply device of the present disclosure includes a mounting structure for a switch component described in any one of (1) to (7), a housing having an opening in the first direction and housing a panel body therein, an outer door that closes the opening and hides the panel body from being seen from the first direction, and an inner door that is arranged inside the housing relative to the outer door and hides the panel body from being seen from the first direction, wherein the fixed wall is formed by the inner door, and the switch component is attached to an inner surface of the inner door that is not visible from the outside when the inner door is closed.

[0020] Power supplies are devices that affect the functioning of public facilities and the like, and often require special consideration in their operation, maintenance, and management. In the above power supply device, the panel is doubly hidden by an inner door and an outer door so that it cannot be seen from the first direction, so measures can be taken to prevent easy access to the panel. In addition, the switch parts are not visible to the outside when the outer door is opened, and are only visible when the inner door is opened, so the switch parts can be tightly protected so that the operating part is not easily operated. In addition, some power supplies handle high voltages that can affect the human body, and the inner and outer doors can prevent accidental electric shock.

[0021] In the power supply device described in (9) and (8), it is preferable that the outer door is provided with a display device capable of displaying information representing the status of the power supply device. By looking at the display device on the outer door, information indicating the status of the power supply unit can be obtained, making it easier to grasp the status of the power supply unit.

[0022] <Embodiment 1> 1. Overall configuration of power supply device 10 A first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings of Figs. 1 to 10. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the power supply device 10 includes a housing 11 having an opening 11A that opens forward. The housing 11 includes an outer door 15 that closes the opening 11A. The outer door 15 is configured to be openable and closable, and includes a display device 16 that can display information indicating the state of the power supply device 10. The power supply device 10 is used by being connected to a commercial power source, and includes a DC power supply device. The power supply device 10 converts AC current supplied from the commercial power source into DC current by the DC power supply device, and drives a load (not shown) with the converted DC current. The "forward" refers to the direction from the front to the back of the paper in Figs. 2 and 3, and corresponds to the "first direction" of the present disclosure.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a plurality of power supply panels 12, a control panel 13, and an inner door 14 are housed inside the housing 11. The inner door 14 can be opened and closed, and when closed, the power supply panel 12 is hidden from view from the front. The outer door 15 can be opened and closed, and when closed, the opening 11A is closed to hide the power supply panel 12 from view from the front. In other words, the power supply panel 12 is doubly hidden from the front by the inner door 14 and the outer door 15. The control panel 13, the switch component 30, and the like are attached to the inner surface of the inner door 14, which cannot be seen from the outside, in the closed state. The control panel 13 controls the operation of the power supply panel 12, and the switch component 30 is the switch component 30 of the main power source of the control panel 13. The switch component 30 is configured to be able to switch between a power supply circuit of the control panel 13 and a non-power supply state. The power supply panel 12 is an example of a "panel body" in this disclosure.

[0024] The switch part 30 includes a part body 31, an operating part 32 disposed on the front side of the part body 31, and a terminal connection part 33 disposed on the rear side of the part body 31. As shown in FIG. 6, the operating part 32 has a plate-shaped knob 32A that can be held from both sides with the thumb and index finger and rotated in a rotational direction. The knob 32A can be rotated between an OFF position where no current is applied and an ON position where current is applied. For example, the position of the knob 32A shown in FIG. 6 is the OFF position, and the ON position may be a position rotated a predetermined angle clockwise from the OFF position shown in FIG. 6. When the knob 32A is in the OFF position, the power circuit of the control panel 13 is in a non-energized state, and when the knob 32A is rotated from the OFF position to the ON position, the power circuit of the control panel 13 is switched from a non-energized state to a conductive state.

[0025] 2. Conventional mounting structure 120 for switch component 30 4 is a perspective view showing a conventional mounting structure 120 for a switch component 30. The conventional mounting structure 120 for a switch component 30 includes a switch component 30 and a fixing component 140 that fixes the switch component 30 to the inner door 14. The conventional switch component 30 has the same configuration as the switch component 30 of the first embodiment.

[0026] The fixing part 140 includes a pair of mounting parts 141 fastened to the inner door 14 with screws 144, a pair of standing parts 142 rising forward from the pair of mounting parts 141, and a base part 143 connecting the front ends of the pair of standing parts 142. The base part 143 is disposed parallel to the inner door 14 and spaced apart from the inner door 14. The screws 144 are fastened to one mounting part 141 at two locations, for a total of four locations on the fixing part 140.

[0027] The component body 31 is disposed in a manner penetrating the base 143 in the front-rear direction. A portion of the component body 31 rearward of the base 143 is located within a space surrounded by the base 143, the pair of upright portions 142, and the inner door 14.

[0028] A terminal 50 is connected to the terminal connection portion 33, and an electric wire 60 is connected to this terminal 50. When connecting the terminal 50 to the terminal connection portion 33, and when performing an inspection work of coloring the electric wire 60, the terminal connection portion 33, etc. with a pen, it is necessary to remove all the screws 144 and remove the fixing part 140 from the inner door 14. Then, after connecting the terminal 50 to the terminal connection portion 33, all the screws 144 are fastened again to attach the fixing part 140 to the inner door 14. Since it is very time-consuming to remove all the screws 144 and fasten them again in this manner, there has been a strong demand for an improvement in workability.

[0029] 3. Mounting structure 20 for switch component 30 of the present disclosure The mounting structure 20 for the switch component 30 includes the switch component 30 and a mounting component 40 for mounting the switch component 30 to the inner door 14. As shown in Fig. 10, a terminal 50 is connected to the terminal connection portion 33 of the switch component 30, and a core wire of an electric wire 60 is connected to the terminal 50 by crimping or the like. The terminal 50 is, for example, a round terminal, and the electric wire 60 is, for example, a coated electric wire whose core wire is covered with an insulating coating.

[0030] The mounting part 40 includes a fixed part 41 attached to the inner door 14, a movable part 42 to which the switch part 30 is attached, and a hinge part 43 connecting the fixed part 41 and the movable part 42. The hinge part 43 is a torque hinge, and includes a fixing connection part 43A fastened to the fixed part 41 by a fixing fastening member 44, a movable connection part 43B fastened to the movable part 42 by a movable fastening member 45, and a hinge shaft 43C connecting the movable connection part 43B to the fixing connection part 43A so as to be rotatable. The fixing fastening member 44 and the fixing connection part 43A form a fixing unit 48, and the movable fastening member 45 and the movable connection part 43B form a movable unit 49. That is, the fixing unit 48 is fixed to the fixed part 41, and the movable unit 49 is fixed to the movable part 42.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 10, the fixing portion 41 includes a fixing mounting base 41A extending vertically along the inner door 14, and a fixing receiving portion 41B extending forward from an upper end of the fixing mounting base 41A.

[0032] As shown in Figure 10, the movable part 42 includes a movable receiving part 42A connected to the fixed part 41 via a hinge part 43, a switch component mounting seat 42B extending upward from the front end of the movable receiving part 42A, a leg part 42C extending rearward from the upper end of the switch component mounting seat 42B, and a movable mounting seat 42D extending upward along the inner door 14 from the rear end of the leg part 42C.

[0033] The fixed connecting part 43A and the fixed receiving part 41B are fastened by a fixing fastening member 44. The movable connecting part 43B and the movable receiving part 42A are fastened by a movable fastening member 45. As a result, the movable receiving part 42A is connected by the hinge part 43 to the fixed receiving part 41B so as to be rotatable.

[0034] 6, the fixed mounting base 41A is fixed to the inner door 14 by a pair of screws 46, and the movable mounting base 42D is fixed to the inner door 14 by a pair of screws 46. In this way, the mounting part 40 is fixed to the inner door 14.

[0035] The movable part 42 is rotatable about the hinge shaft 43C of the hinge part 43 between a first position shown in Fig. 10 and a second position shown in Fig. 9. In the first position, the operation part 32 of the switch part 30 faces forward, and in the second position, the terminal connection part 33 of the switch part 30 faces backward. When in the second position, the movable part 42 holds the terminal connection part 33 at a position separated from the inner door 14.

[0036] In the first position, the fixed receiving portion 41B and the movable receiving portion 42A are arranged on the same plane. In addition, a front end of the fixed receiving portion 41B and a rear end of the movable receiving portion 42A are formed with mating portions 47 that are in surface contact with each other and extend upward. As shown in Fig. 10, the movable mounting seat 42D is in surface contact with the inner door 14 and the pair of mating portions 47 are in surface contact with each other, so that the movable portion 42 can be prevented from rotating further in the clockwise direction beyond the first position.

[0037] 6, a pair of electric wires 60 are pulled out to the right from between the switch component mounting base 42B of the mounting part 40 and the inner door 14. The pair of electric wires 60 are connected to the power supply circuit of the control panel 13, and cut off the power supplied to the control panel 13 when the knob 32A is in the OFF position, and supply power to the control panel 13 when the knob 32A is in the ON position.

[0038] The switch component 30 is attached in a form penetrating the switch component mounting seat 42B in the plate thickness direction. In the first position, the operation portion 32 is disposed in front of the switch component mounting seat 42B, and the terminal connection portion 33 is disposed behind the switch component mounting seat 42B.

[0039] 4. Connecting the terminal 50 to the terminal connection portion 33 To connect the terminal 50 to the terminal connection part 33, a pair of screws 46 fastened to the movable mounting seat 42D are removed. This allows the movable part 42 to rotate around the hinge part 43. Next, when the movable part 42 is rotated from the first position to the second position, as shown in FIG. 9, the knob part 32A in the off position comes into contact with the inner door 14, so that the movable part 42 is held in the second position. In the second position, the terminal connection part 33 faces forward, i.e., horizontally, and is held at a position separated from the inner door 14. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, when a force is applied to the terminal connection part 33 from the front using the tool T, the terminal connection part 33 is not tilted by this force, and the terminal connection part 33 is held in the second position against this force, so that the bolt B can be easily fastened to the terminal connection part 33. Simultaneously with this connection work, it is checked whether the electric wire 60 is correctly connected to the terminal connection part 33 via the terminal 50, and if it is confirmed that the connection is correct, i.e., that there is no problem, the electric wire 60, the terminal connection part 33, etc. may be colored with a pen. In this case, the movable part 42 still receives a force from the front, but since the movable part 42 is not tilted by the force from the front and is held in the second position, the work of coloring the electric wire 60, the terminal connection part 33, etc. with a pen becomes easy.

[0040] 5.Effects In the above-mentioned embodiment 1, when the movable part 42 is rotated from the first position to the second position, the knob part 32A of the operation part 32 comes into contact with the inner door 14, so that the movable part 42 is held in the second position against the force from the front. In this way, the terminal 50 can be connected to the terminal connection part 33 while applying a force from the front using the tool T, which makes it easy to connect the terminal 50.

[0041] When connecting the terminal 50 to the terminal connection part 33, it is necessary to confirm that there is no problem with the electric wire 60 connected to the terminal 50. For this reason, the electric wire 60, the terminal connection part 33, etc. may be colored with a pen to indicate that the electric wire 60 is correctly connected to the terminal connection part 33 via the terminal 50. In such a case, since the movable part 42 is held in the second position against the force from the front, the electric wire 60, the terminal connection part 33, etc. can be easily colored with a pen.

[0042] Other parts, electric wires, etc. may be arranged in a position close to the inner door 14, and these parts and electric wires may get in the way and make it difficult to connect the terminal 50 to the terminal connection part 33. In this regard, in the first embodiment, the terminal connection part 33 is held in a position separated from the inner door 14 when in the second position, so that the connection work of the terminal 50 can be performed without being hindered by other parts or electric wires.

[0043] When connecting the terminal 50 to the terminal connection portion 33, it is necessary to perform the connection work with the operation unit 32 in the OFF position. According to the first embodiment, the operation unit 32 in the OFF position comes into contact with the inner door 14, so that the movable unit 42 is held in the second position, and therefore it is possible to confirm that the operation unit 32 is in the OFF position by the movable unit 42 being held in the second position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connection work from being performed by mistake with the operation unit 32 in the ON position.

[0044] In the case of the main power supply switch component 30, it is essential that the connection work be performed in a non-energized state with the operation unit 32 in the OFF position. As described above, since the connection work can be prevented from being performed in a powered state with the operation unit 32 in the ON position, the connection work can be reliably performed in a non-energized state with the operation unit 32 in the OFF position.

[0045] According to the first embodiment, the power panel 12 is doubly hidden by the inner door 14 and the outer door 15 so that it cannot be seen from the front, and measures can be taken to prevent easy access to the power panel 12. In addition, the switch component 30 is not exposed to the outside when the outer door 15 is merely opened, and the switch component 30 is exposed to the outside only when the inner door 14 is opened, so that the switch component 30 can be tightly protected so that the operating unit 32 is not easily operated. In addition, some power supply devices 10 handle high voltages that may affect the human body, and the inner door 14 and the outer door 15 can prevent inadvertent electric shock.

[0046] By looking at the display device 16 on the outer door 15, information showing the state of the power supply device 10 can be obtained, making it easier to grasp the state of the power supply device 10.

[0047] <Embodiment 2> Next, a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawing in Fig. 11. The mounting structure 220 for the switch component 30 of the second embodiment is different from the mounting structure 20 for the switch component 30 of the first embodiment in the configuration for holding the movable part 42 in the second position, but the other configurations are the same. The same reference numerals as in the first embodiment are used for the same configurations as in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0048] In the mounting structure 220 of the switch component 30 of this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 11, the movable fastening member 245 comes into contact with the fixing fastening member 244, so that the movable part 42 is held in the second position against a force from the front. Therefore, in the second position, the knob part 32A of the operating part 32 is not in contact with the inner door 14.

[0049] <Embodiment 3> Next, a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawing in Fig. 12. An attachment structure 320 for a switch component 330 of the third embodiment differs from the attachment structure 20 for a switch component 30 of the first embodiment in the configuration for holding the movable part 42 in the second position, but the other configurations are the same. The same reference numerals as in the first embodiment are used for the same configurations as in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0050] In the switch part 330 of this embodiment, the operation part 332 and the knob part 332A are smaller than the operation part 32 and the knob part 32A of the first embodiment, respectively. On the other hand, the part main body part 331 and the terminal connection part 333 are the same in size as the part main body part 31 and the terminal connection part 33 of the first embodiment.

[0051] 12, in the mounting structure 320 for the switch component 330 of this embodiment, a corner 42E between the movable receiving portion 42A and the switch component mounting seat 42B in the movable part 42 comes into contact with the inner door 14, so that the movable part 42 is held in the second position against a force from the front. Therefore, in the second position, the knob portion 332A of the operation part 332 does not come into contact with the inner door 14, and the movable fastening member 45 does not come into contact with the fixed fastening member 44.

[0052] In the second position of this embodiment, the front end of the terminal connection portion 333 is tilted slightly downward compared to the second position of embodiment 1. However, when force is applied from the front using tool T, the movable portion 42 is held in the second position against this force, so that it is similar to embodiment 1 in that it is easier to tighten the bolt B.

[0053] <Embodiment 4> Next, a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawing in Fig. 13. The mounting structure 420 of the switch component 330 of the fourth embodiment differs from the mounting structure 220 of the switch component 30 of the second embodiment in the configuration for holding the movable part 42 in the second position, but the other configurations are the same. The same reference numerals as in the second embodiment are used for the same configurations as in the second embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0054] The mounting part 440 of this embodiment includes a fixed part 441 attached to the inner door 14, a movable part 42 to which the switch part 30 is attached, and a hinge part 43 connecting the fixed part 441 and the movable part 42. The fixed part 441 includes a fixing mounting base 441A extending vertically along the inner door 14, a fixing receiving part 441B extending forward from the upper end of the fixing mounting base 441A, and a fixing wall part 441C extending slightly diagonally forward from the lower end of the fixing mounting base 441A and then extending downward. The fixing connecting part 43A and the fixing receiving part 441B are fastened by a fixing fastening member 44. As a result, the movable receiving part 42A is rotatably connected to the fixing receiving part 441B by the hinge part 43.

[0055] In the mounting structure 420 of the switch component 30 of this embodiment, a corner 42E between the movable receiving portion 42A and the switch component mounting seat 42B in the movable part 42 contacts the fixed wall 441C, so that the movable part 42 is held in the second position against a force from the front. Therefore, in the second position, the knob portion 32A of the operation part 32 is not in contact with the inner door 14, and the movable fastening member 45 is not in contact with the fixed fastening member 44.

[0056] <Embodiment 5> Next, a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawing in Fig. 14. The mounting structure 520 of the switch component 30 of the fifth embodiment is different from the mounting structure 220 of the switch component 30 of the second embodiment in the configuration for holding the movable part 42 in the second position, but the other configurations are the same. The same reference numerals as in the second embodiment are used for the same configurations as in the second embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0057] In this embodiment, a bottom wall 17 is provided below the switch component 30. The bottom wall 17 may be formed integrally with the housing 11 and protrude forward from the housing 11, or may be formed separately from the housing 11 and attached to the inner door 14 so as to protrude rearward.

[0058] In the mounting structure 520 of the switch component 330 of this embodiment, the corner 42F between the leg 42C and the switch component mounting seat 42B of the movable part 42 contacts the bottom wall 17, so that the movable part 42 is held in the second position against the force from the front. Therefore, in the second position, the knob 32A of the operation part 32 is not in contact with the inner door 14, and the movable fastening member 45 is not in contact with the fixed fastening member 44.

[0059] <Other embodiments> The present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above and illustrated in the drawings, but is intended to include all modifications within the scope of the claims and their equivalent meanings. The technical scope of the present disclosure also includes, for example, the following embodiments.

[0060] In the above first to fifth embodiments, a rotary type operating unit is exemplified as the operating unit 32, but the operating unit may be a push type operating unit.

[0061] In the above embodiments 1, 2, 4, and 5, the terminal connection portion 33 faces horizontally in the second position. However, it is not necessary for the terminal connection portion 33 to face strictly horizontally as long as the terminal connection portion 33 faces in a direction that makes it easy to connect the terminal 50.

[0062] In the above first to third embodiments, the inner door 14 is exemplified as a fixed wall. However, a wall of the housing 11 that faces the closed inner door 14 may be used as the fixed wall.

[0063] In the above first to fifth embodiments, the hinge portion 43 is exemplified as a connecting portion. However, the connecting portion is not limited to the hinge portion 43 as long as the movable portion is configured to be movable between the first position and the second position.

[0064] In the above first to fifth embodiments, both the terminal 50 and the electric wire 60 are provided, but it is also possible to provide only the terminal 50.

[0065] In the above embodiments 1 to 5, the terminal connection portion 33 is held in a position spaced apart from the inner door 14 when in the second position, but the terminal connection portion 33 may be positioned along the inner door 14 when in the second position.

[0066] Although the above first to fifth embodiments have been described with reference to the fastening members used to fix the connecting parts to the receiving parts, the connecting parts may be fixed to the receiving parts by welding. Also, the connecting parts may be fixed to the receiving parts by forming a protrusion on each receiving part, forming a hole in each connecting part, and inserting the protrusion into the hole.

[0067] In the above embodiment 1, the knob portion 32A of the operating unit 32 contacts the inner door 14, but a fixed wall portion similar to the fixed wall portion 441C of embodiment 4 may be formed and the knob portion 32A may contact this fixed wall portion.

[0068] In the above first to fifth embodiments, the example has been described in which only one of the operating part and the movable part contacts the fixed part or the fixed wall, but both the operating part and the movable part may contact the fixed part or the fixed wall.

[0069] In the above first to third embodiments, the mounting structure for the switch component is applied to the power supply device 10, but it may also be applied to, for example, an electricity storage device having a battery management device. [Explanation of symbols]
