[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description, directions such as front, back, left, right, and up and down are the same as those relative to the holding device in Figure 1 unless otherwise specified. In addition, the symbol FR in each figure indicates the front of the holding device, the symbol UP indicates the top of the holding device, and the symbol LH indicates the left of the holding device.

[0009] [Embodiment Mode] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the holding device 1, showing the entire holding device 1 as viewed from the right front. The holding device 1 holds a plurality of batteries (items) 19. The holding device 1 is configured to be able to charge the batteries 19. The battery 19 of this embodiment can be carried by the user and is configured to be attachable to and detachable from a work machine such as an electric vehicle (four-wheeled vehicle, three-wheeled vehicle, two-wheeled vehicle), a lawn mower, or an agricultural machine. The battery 19 of this embodiment is a MPP (Mobile Power Pack) with a rectangular parallelepiped appearance. The battery 19 has a battery terminal 19b (see FIG. 4) on the opposite side of the handle 19a.

[0010] The holding device 1 includes a housing 10 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The housing 10 has a bottom plate 11 (see FIG. 5), side plates 13, 14, 15, and 16 provided on the front, rear, left, and right sides of the bottom plate 11 (see FIG. 3 for the side plate 14, and FIG. 4 for the side plate 16), and a top plate 12 above the side plates 13, 14, 15, and 16. The front, rear, left, and right side plates 13, 14, 15, and 16 are also referred to as the front plate 13, the rear plate 14 (see FIG. 3), the right plate 15, and the left plate 16 (see FIG. 4). Legs 17 are provided on the underside of the bottom plate 11. The legs 17 are provided at the four corners of the bottom plate 11, respectively.

[0011] Four openings 13a are formed in the front plate portion 13. The four openings 13a are arranged two by two in the left-right direction and two in the up-down direction. In other words, the openings 13a are arranged in two rows and two columns in the front plate portion 13. A slot (receptacle) 20 is arranged in the openings 13a to accommodate a battery 19 in an insertable and removable manner.

[0012] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the slot 20, showing the entire slot 20 as seen from the right front. The slot 20 has a generally cylindrical appearance. The slot 20 is supported by a mounting member 50 (described later) so that the central axis of the slot 20 is tilted downward toward the rear of the housing 10. The battery 19 is inserted into the slot 20 at an angle that tilts downward toward the rear of the housing 10. That is, the insertion / removal direction in this embodiment is a direction that descends toward the rear end of the housing 10, as indicated by arrow B1. In other words, the insertion / removal direction B1 is the direction from the upper front to the lower rear of the housing 10 (see FIG. 1).

[0013] The slot 20 has a main body 21 in the shape of a rectangular cylinder with a bottom and an opening 20a, and a connector unit CU provided on the bottom 21a of the main body 21.

[0014] A drain hole (not shown) is formed in the bottom 21a of the main body 21. The drain hole is formed at a position that communicates with a gutter portion 57, which will be described later, when the slot 20 is set on the mounting member 50.

[0015] The connector unit CU includes a fan, an electronic board, etc. The connector unit CU includes a protrusion 22 that protrudes rearward from the bottom 21a of the slot 20.

[0016] The battery 19 is removably accommodated in the slot 20. The battery 19 is inserted through an opening 20a in the main body 21. When the battery 19 is inserted into the slot 20, the battery terminal 19b is electrically connected to the connector unit CU. This allows the holding device 1 to charge the battery 19 via the connector unit CU.

[0017] Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the holding device 1, showing the holding device 1 of Fig. 1 with the right plate portion 15 removed. Fig. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the holding device 1, showing the holding device 1 as viewed from the right. Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of the main part of the holding device 1, showing the lower part of the holding device 1 as viewed from the right rear.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 4, a middle plate 25 that divides the internal space of the housing 10 is provided at the upper interior side of the housing 10. The interior of the housing 10 is divided by the middle plate 25 into a communication chamber 10a, which is the space above the middle plate 25, and a charging chamber 10b, which is the space below the middle plate 25. Devices related to short-range wireless communication are arranged in the communication chamber 10a. A control board, an electrical box, and the like are arranged in the charging chamber 10b. The control board controls each part of the holding device 1. The devices related to short-range wireless communication, for example, perform short-range wireless communication with an electronic terminal or an IC card to authenticate the user. If authenticated, the control board allows the removal of the battery 19 housed in the slot 20.

[0019] Support columns 30 are provided at the left and right ends of the bottom plate 11, extending from the bottom plate 11 to the middle plate 25. The support columns 30 include a right front support column 31 (see FIG. 3), a right rear support column 32 (see FIG. 3), a left front support column 33 (see FIG. 4), and a left rear support column 34 (see FIG. 4). The right front support column 31 and the left front support column 33 are arranged in symmetrical positions. The right front support column 31 and the left front support column 33 are arranged closer to the front than the center of the housing 10. The right rear support column 32 and the left rear support column 34 are arranged in symmetrical positions. The right rear support column 32 and the left rear support column 34 are arranged closer to the rear than the center of the housing 10. In this way, by not providing the support column 30 in the center of the housing 10, the support column 30 does not obstruct the space inside the housing 10, and the degree of freedom in the layout inside the housing 10 is improved.

[0020] A mounting member 50 is provided in the charging chamber 10b. The mounting member 50 is fixed by the support pillars 30. The mounting member 50 has two trays 51 that support the slots 20 in the upper row and the slots 20 in the lower row, with respect to the two rows and two columns of slots 20.

[0021] The tray 51 is formed in the shape of a folded plate extending in the insertion / removal direction B1. The tray 51 has a mounting surface 52 formed in a flat shape extending in the insertion / removal direction B1. The mounting surface 52 has a right end 52a and a left end 52b extending along the insertion / removal direction B1. In this embodiment, the right end 52a and the left end 52b are parallel to each other. A rear end 52c is formed between the rear end of the right end 52a and the rear end of the left end 52b.

[0022] The right end 52a is formed with a right wall portion 53 that is bent upward and has a plate-like shape. The left end 52b is formed with a left wall portion 54 that is bent upward and has a plate-like shape. The rear end 52c is formed with a rear wall portion 55 that is bent upward.

[0023] The tray 51 is fixed to the support members 30 in a state in which it protrudes forward beyond the right front support member 31 and the left front support member 33 and is tilted downward toward the rear. Specifically, the mounting member 50 has a middle portion of its right end portion 52a fixed to the right front support member 31. The rear end portion of the right end portion 52a of the mounting member 50 is fixed to the right rear support member 32. The middle portion of the left end portion 52b of the mounting member 50 is fixed to the left front support member 33. The rear end portion of the left end portion 52b of the mounting member 50 is fixed to the left rear support member 34. As a result, the front end of the tray 51 is positioned higher than the rear end in the insertion / removal direction B1. In other words, the mounting surface 52 of the tray 51 has an inclined surface that slopes downward toward the rear end of the housing 10. The mounting surface 52 is inclined so that the height is the same at the same position in the front-to-rear direction. By arranging the slot 20 on the mounting surface 52, the slot 20 can be held in the housing 10 at an incline.

[0024] Fig. 6 is an enlarged view of a main part of the tray 51, showing an enlarged view of the rear part of the tray 51. Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the tray 51 and the slot 20, showing the relationship between a state viewed from above and a state viewed from the side. Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the tray 51 and the slot 20, showing the view from the insertion / removal direction. The view from the insertion / removal direction means looking in the insertion / removal direction B1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the length L1 of the right end 52a in the insertion / removal direction B1 is longer than the length L3 of the left end 52b (which is also the length L3 of the left wall portion 54 in this embodiment). That is, the right end 52a extends further rearward than the left end 52b in a top view. Therefore, in the tray 51 that is inclined in the insertion / removal direction B1, the rear end of the right end 52a is located lower than the rear end of the left end 52b. Therefore, the rear wall portion 55 connecting the rear ends of the right end 52a and the left end 52b is inclined downward toward the right end 52a. Here, the length L1 of the right end 52a is the length from the front end of the tray 51 to the rear end of the right end 52a along the insertion / removal direction B1. The length L3 of the left end 52b is the length from the front end of the tray 51 to the rear end of the left end 52b along the insertion / removal direction B1.

[0026] FIG. 9 shows a development view of the tray 51 and a view showing the tray 51 in an assembled state. The tray 51 is formed by bending a flat plate. The right wall portion 53 is formed along the insertion / removal direction B1 of the right end portion 52a. The rear end of the right wall portion 53 is formed away from the rear wall portion 55. In other words, the rear end of the right wall portion 53 is formed closer to the front than the rear end of the right end portion 52a in a top view. The left wall 54 is disposed along the insertion / removal direction B1 of the left end portion 52b. The left wall 54 is disposed over the entire left end portion 52b, and the rear end of the left wall 54 is connected to the left end of the rear wall 55. The rear end of the left wall 54 is connected to the left end of the rear wall 55, for example, by welding. As a result, no gap is created between the rear end of the left wall 54 and the left end of the rear wall 55. Therefore, water flowing along the left wall 54 flows along the rear wall 55 without flowing out of the tray 51. Therefore, in this embodiment, the length L1 of the right end portion 52a is longer than the length L2 of the right wall portion 53. Also, the length L1 of the right end portion 52a is longer than the length L3 of the left wall portion 54. In this embodiment, the length L2 of the right wall portion 53 is formed to be equal to or longer than the length L3 of the left wall portion 54.

[0027] A forward-extending eaves portion 56 is formed at the upper end of the rear wall portion 55. The eaves portion 56 is connected to the upper rear end of the right wall portion 53 and the upper rear end of the left wall portion 54. The eaves portion 56 in this embodiment is formed in a trapezoidal shape with its left and right ends parallel to each other when viewed from the direction of arrow B2 in FIG.

[0028] In the tray 51, a gutter portion 57 is formed by the rear end of the placing surface 52, the rear wall portion 55, and the eaves portion 56. An open drainage portion 58 is formed at the right end of the gutter portion 57. The drainage portion 58 is formed in an enclosed shape by the rear end of the placing surface 52, the rear end of the right wall portion 53, the right end of the rear wall portion 55, and the right end of the eaves portion 56. The drainage portion 58 is close to the right rear support column 32. In this embodiment, the drainage portion 58 at least partially overlaps with the right rear support column 32 in a side view.

[0029] The right rear support column (flow path forming member) 32 is a square pipe having a drainage channel 32a inside. The right rear support column 32 is provided with a water receiving hole 32b at a position corresponding to the drainage section 58. The water receiving hole 32b is in communication with the drainage channel 32a. In addition, the right rear support column 32 is formed with a drainage hole (not shown) at its lower end that is in communication with the drainage channel 32a.

[0030] The bottom plate 11 is provided with a funnel-shaped drainage portion (not shown) that connects the inside and outside of the housing 10. This drainage portion is provided adjacent to a drainage hole formed in the right rear support pillar 32.

[0031] Next, drainage of liquid that has entered the holding device will be described. In this embodiment, liquid such as rainwater that has entered the slot 20 can be drained.

[0032] When the holding device 1 is installed outdoors, rainwater enters the slot 20 through the opening. Because the slot 20 is arranged at an angle, the entering rainwater flows to the bottom 21 a of the slot 20. The rainwater that flows to the bottom 21 a of the slot 20 is then drained out of the slot 20 through the drainage holes in the bottom 21 a.

[0033] Rainwater drained outside the slot 20 is received by the mounting surface 52 of the mounting member 50 and flows into the gutter 57. The rainwater that flows into the gutter 57 flows into the drainage section 58, which is a predetermined position, due to the inclination of the mounting surface 52 and the rear wall 55. Therefore, the rainwater is drained from the drainage section 58 to the right rear support column 32.

[0034] Rainwater drained from the drainage section 58 of the gutter section 57 flows from the water receiving hole 32b through the drainage channel 32a inside the right rear support section 32, and is then drained from the drainage hole formed at the lower end of the right rear support section 32. The rainwater drained from the right rear support section 32 is received by the drainage section of the bottom plate section 11 and is then drained outside the housing 10 of the holding device 1.

[0035] There is a concern that the holding device 1 may be placed higher on either the right or left side of the holding device 1 due to the inclination of the installation surface, etc. In such a case, there is a concern that water may accumulate in the drainage path, causing corrosion.

[0036] However, in this embodiment, the right end 52a is lower than the left end 52b on the side of the mounting member 50 that is lower in height in the insertion / removal direction B1, so that the right end 52a side can be easily made lowest even when the slot 20 is arranged at an angle while maintaining the inclination of the mounting surface 52 along the insertion / removal direction B1. In other words, water can be guided to the right end 52a side.

[0037] In addition, since the right rear support portion 32 is provided on the right end portion 52a side, water that enters the right end portion 52a side flows to the right rear support portion 32 without stagnating, and can be drained outside the holding device 1 along the drainage channel 32a.

[0038] 10 and 11 are enlarged views of the rear part of the holding device 1. FIG. The overhanging portion 56 is a surface facing the placement surface 52. The protruding portion 22 of the slot 20 enters between the overhanging portion 56 and the placement surface 52. By providing the overhanging portion 56, when an operator inserts the slot 20 onto the tray 51 along the insertion / removal direction B1 and places it in the holding device 1, the protruding portion 22 can be held down by the overhanging portion 56, and the slot 20 can be assembled without flapping.

[0039] An inclined portion 59 is formed at the front end of the eaves portion 56. The inclined portion 59 extends forward and upward at a steeper slope than the eaves portion 56 as it moves away from the eaves portion 56. The inclined portion 59 forms an inclined surface that is inclined relative to the eaves portion 56. As a result, when the slot 20 is placed on the mounting member 50 and the protruding portion 22 of the slot 20 abuts against the inclined portion 59, the inclined shape of the inclined portion 59 guides the slot 20 toward the inside of the gutter portion 57, making it easy to insert the protruding portion 22 of the slot 20.

[0040] The eave portion 56 is provided with a notch 60. The notch 60 allows the eave portion 56 to avoid the protrusions 22 of the connector unit CU and other components provided on the bottom 21 a of the slot 20, allowing the slot 20 to be installed on the mounting member 50. This allows the slot 20 to be arranged compactly within the holding device 1.

[0041] As described above, according to this embodiment to which the present invention is applied, the holding device 1, in which the battery 19 is held so as to be insertable and removable, is provided with a mounting member 50 that extends along the insertion / removal direction B1 and on whose upper surface the battery 19 is placed, the mounting member 50 is arranged so as to have a height difference along the insertion / removal direction B1, the mounting member 50 has a right end 52a and a left end 52b that are located at both ends in a direction perpendicular to the insertion / removal direction B1 when viewed from above and extend along the insertion / removal direction B1, and the right end 52a has a longer length L1 in the insertion / removal direction B1 than the left end 52b. According to this configuration, of the right end 52a and the left end 52b, the right end 52a, which is longer in the insertion / removal direction B1, is lower in height in the up-down direction than the left end 52b on the lower side in the insertion / removal direction B1. Therefore, even if the holder 1 is installed in a state inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, the right end 52a can be kept low above the mounting member 50, making it easier for water that has entered the holder 1 and reached the mounting member 50 to flow toward the right end 52a. Therefore, it is possible to provide a holder 1 that makes it easier for water to flow toward a predetermined position.

[0042] In this embodiment, a right wall portion 53 and a left wall portion 54 are provided on the right end portion 52a and the left end portion 52b, respectively, so as to stand on the mounting surface 52 of the mounting member 50. This configuration can prevent water that has reached the top of the mounting member 50 from leaking out of the mounting member 50 from the right end 52a side or the left end 52b side.

[0043] In addition, in this embodiment, the mounting member 50 has a rear end portion 52c located at the lower end in the insertion / removal direction B1, and the rear end portion 52c has a rear wall portion 55 that stands upright from the mounting surface 52 of the mounting member 50. This configuration can prevent water that has reached the top of the mounting member 50 from leaking out of the mounting member 50 from the rear end portion 52c side.

[0044] In this embodiment, the mounting member 50 is provided with a drainage portion 58 at a position where the rear end portion 52c intersects with the right end portion 52a and the left end portion 52b. According to this configuration, water that has reached the top of the mounting member 50 can be drained.

[0045] In this embodiment, the right rear support column 32 is provided, which extends in the vertical direction, and the drainage section 58 is in communication with the right rear support column 32 . According to this configuration, water that reaches the top of the mounting member 50 can be drained through the right rear support column 32.

[0046] In addition, in this embodiment, there is provided a slot 20 in which the battery 19 is inserted and removed, and the slot 20 has a protrusion 22 on the lower side of the insertion / removal direction B1 that protrudes in the insertion / removal direction B1, and a eaves portion 56 is formed on the rear wall portion 55 so as to face the mounting surface 52 of the mounting member 50, and the protrusion 22 is arranged between the eaves portion 56 and the mounting member 50. According to this configuration, when the slot 20 is assembled to the holding device 1, it is possible to assemble the slot 20 while suppressing flapping of the slot 20. Furthermore, it is possible to position the slot 20 on the mounting member 50.

[0047] In this embodiment, the tip of the eaves portion 56 is formed with an inclined portion 59 that moves away from the placement surface 52 as it moves away from the rear wall portion 55 . According to this configuration, when the slot 20 is inserted and installed on the mounting member 50, the inclined portion 59 guides the slot 20 to a predetermined position, making it easy to position the slot 20.

[0048] In this embodiment, the slot 20 has a protrusion 22 that protrudes in the insertion / removal direction B1 on the lower side in the insertion / removal direction B1, and the eaves portion 56 is provided with a notch 60 into which the protrusion 22 can enter. According to this configuration, the slot 20 can be installed on the mounting member 50 while avoiding the protruding portion 22 of the slot 20. Therefore, the slot 20 can be arranged compactly.

[0049] [Other embodiments] The above-described embodiment merely shows one aspect of the present invention, and any modifications and applications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0050] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the right end 52a of the mounting member 50 is formed longer than the left end 52b, so that the right end 52a is positioned lower than the left end 52b in the up-down direction. However, by making the left end 52b longer than the right end 52a, the left end 52b may be positioned lower than the right end 52a in the vertical direction. As a result, the gutter 57 is formed to be inclined to the left side of the mounting surface 52, and water can be guided toward the left end 52b. In this case, the water receiving hole 32b, the drainage channel 32a, and the drainage hole are formed in the left rear support column 34 instead of the right rear support column 32. In other words, the left rear support column 34 serves as a flow path forming member to drain water from the mounting member 50. In this way, the position of the flow path forming member can be changed as appropriate depending on the shape of the mounting member.

[0051] In the above-described embodiment, the configuration has been described in which the right end 52a corresponding to the first end and the left end 52b corresponding to the second end of the mounting surface 52 of the mounting member 50 are provided with the end of the right wall 53 corresponding to the first wall and the end of the left wall 54 corresponding to the second wall, respectively. However, the positions at which the first wall and the second wall are provided are not limited to the ends. That is, the right wall 53 corresponding to the first wall, the left wall 54 corresponding to the second wall, and the rear wall 55 corresponding to the third wall may be provided from the end of the mounting surface 52 toward the inside of the mounting surface 52. That is, the terms first end, second end, and third end are used to mean the peripheral portions of the end of the mounting surface 52.

[0052] [Configuration supported by the above embodiment] The above embodiment supports the following configurations.

[0053] (Configuration 1) A holding device in which an item is held so that it can be inserted and removed, comprising a placing member that extends along the insertion / removal direction and on which the item is placed, the placing member being arranged so as to have a height difference along the insertion / removal direction, the placing member having a first end and a second end that are located at both ends in a direction perpendicular to the insertion / removal direction when viewed from above and extend along the insertion / removal direction, one of the first end and the second end being longer in the insertion / removal direction than the other. According to this configuration, the one of the first end and the second end, which has a longer length in the insertion / removal direction, is lower than the other on the lower side in the insertion / removal direction. Therefore, even if the holding device is installed in a tilted state with respect to the horizontal plane, the predetermined position on the mounting member can be kept low, and water that enters the holding device and reaches the mounting member can be easily flowed toward one of the first end and the second end. Therefore, a holding device that easily flows water toward the predetermined position can be provided.

[0054] (Configuration 2) The holding device according to configuration 1, characterized in that the first end and the second end are provided with a first wall portion and a second wall portion, respectively, standing upright from the upper surface of the mounting member.
