Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a charging device.

Background Art

[0002] Conventional charging devices only introduced outside air by isolating only the charging unit with a very high heat generation density to ensure the environmental resistance performance of the charging unit alone, and the other components were mounted in the same compartment isolated from the outside air. In addition, the input unit, output unit, and signal circuit were connected to the charging unit by an integrated composite connector. As a result, it was difficult to ensure a physical distance between the wirings for each of the input, output, and signal. Therefore, it has been required to further improve the countermeasures against EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) and noise. Related techniques are disclosed in Patent Document 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the charging device housing 10 is located above the operation unit housing 10b and has a sealed space 10d in which no components or the like are mounted. Therefore, when there is a customer's desire to install, for example, signage in this sealed space 10d, it is possible to mount a DC power supply, a control circuit board, etc. in the sealed space 10d even later. The advantage of this sealed space 10d is that it is a space isolated from each circuit of the charging device, so it is difficult to be affected by noise from each other, and it is also a thermally independent space, whereby even low heat-resistant components can be mounted.

[0041] According to this embodiment, the charging device housing 10 includes an input / output housing 10a located on the right or left side with respect to the front face 11 and an operation unit housing 10b located above the center in the vertical direction with respect to the front face 11. The control circuit unit 20 is mounted in the operation unit housing 10b, and the main circuit unit 40 having a power input unit 41 and an output unit 42 is mounted in the input / output housing 10a. Therefore, the main circuit unit 40 and the control circuit unit 20 can be structured to be isolated (shielded) by the input / output housing 10a and the operation unit housing 10b. Thereby, it is difficult for the EMI noise generated from the main circuit unit 40 to be received by the control circuit unit 20, and malfunction due to noise can be suppressed.

Thereby, the input terminal 41a and the output terminal 42a can be configured to be separated from each other as much as possible. Thereby, it is difficult for the input terminal 41a and the output terminal 42a to be affected by each other's noise, and EMI countermeasures and noise countermeasures can be further improved. Also, since the operation unit housing 10b and the unit mounting portion 30 are isolated by the housing, it is difficult for the control circuit unit 20 to be affected by the switching noise generated from the charging unit, and malfunction due to noise can be suppressed. Also, since the input / output housing 10a and the unit mounting portion 30 are similarly isolated, it is difficult for the main circuit to be affected by the switching noise generated from the charging unit, and the EMI characteristics can be improved.

[0043] Also, according to the present embodiment, an AC wiring port 51 is disposed below the lower stage of the input / output housing 10a and above the input terminal 41a, and a DC wiring port 53 is disposed above the upper stage of the input / output housing 10a and below the output terminal 42a.

Thereby, the AC wiring 50 and the DC wiring 52 are separated within the input / output housing 10a, the signal wiring 54 is directly drawn into the operation unit housing 10b, and a wiring route is formed in which the signal wiring 54 does not cross. As a result, EMI countermeasures and noise countermeasures can be further improved.

[0044] Also, according to the present embodiment, the input connector 32, the output connector 33, and the signal connector 34 included in the charging unit are separately arranged, the AC wiring 50 is connected to the input connector 32, the DC wiring 52 is connected to the output connector 33, and the signal wiring 54 is connected to the signal connector 34. By thus dividing the connectors of the charging unit into input, output, and signal, a wiring route that does not cross can be obtained. As a result, EMI countermeasures and noise countermeasures can be further improved.

[0048] The above charging device rotates the fan 31 (the first to third fans 31a, 31b, 31c), and the air 61 sucked in from the air intake 151 passes through the back surface of the operation unit housing 10b before cooling the inside of the charging unit.

[0049] According to the present embodiment, a control circuit unit 20 including a display unit 21, a communication control unit 22, and a charging control unit 23 is mounted in the operation unit housing 10b, and components with low heat resistance are mounted on the control circuit unit 20. Then, by rotating the fan 31 arranged above the charging unit and allowing the air 61 sucked in from the air intake 151 to pass through the back surface of the operation unit housing 10b and cool the operation unit housing 10b, it is possible to suppress the temperature rise of the control circuit unit 20 on which components with low heat resistance are mounted.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 5, an air intake 152 for sucking air to cool the control circuit unit 20 is provided above the operation unit housing 10b. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the temperature rise of the control circuit unit 20 having components with low heat resistance in the operation unit housing 10b. Note that a heat sink (not shown) may be disposed inside the charging device housing 10 and on the back surface 11b of the operation unit housing 10b. Thereby, the operation unit housing 10b can be cooled more from the back surface 11b, and as a result, an increase in temperature within the low heat-resistant control circuit unit 20 mounted in the operation unit housing 10b can be suppressed.

[0051] Further, the charging device housing 10 preferably has an air introduction path portion 150 that forms a path for turning the flow of the air 61 sucked from the air inlet 151 upward by the surface facing the air inlet 151 and discharging the air 61 to the back surface 12 side of the charging device housing 10. Each of the upper side and the lower side of the outlet of the air introduction path portion 150 preferably has a water return structure 150a. Thereby, it is possible to prevent rainwater from directly entering the inside of the charging device housing 10 and to efficiently cool the operation unit housing 10b with wind flowing from above the back surface 11b of the operation unit housing 10b.

[0052] Further, an air inlet 152 for sucking air to cool the control circuit unit 20 may be provided at the upper part of the operation unit housing 10b. Thereby, an increase in temperature within the control circuit unit 20 having low heat-resistant components in the operation unit housing 10b can be further suppressed.
