DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] An embodiment of the invention is described below. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 4 , an electric vehicle charging stand 1 according to the embodiment has a charging device 2 mounted on a self-standing stand 3, the charging device 2 being capable of charging an electric vehicle. The electric vehicle charging stand 1 has a first opening 11 on its bottom surface through which an incoming cable IC can be inserted. The charging device 2 is mounted on the self-standing stand 3 so that the first opening 11 is positioned on the front and outer side of the self-standing stand 3, and the self-standing stand 3 is equipped with a cover 4 that can be attached to and detached from the self-standing stand 3. The cover 4 is attached to the self-standing stand 3 so that a space for the incoming cable IC to pass through can be secured below the charging device 2 and behind the cover 4, and the path for the incoming cable IC can be secured directly above the cover 4. This reduces the effort required to attach or detach an incoming cable IC to or from the charging device 2 mounted on the self-standing stand 3.

[0015] The electric vehicle charging stand 1 of the present invention includes a freestanding stand 3, a charging device 2 attached to the freestanding stand 3, and a cover 4 attached to the freestanding stand 3. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3 , the freestanding stand 3 of the embodiment includes vertical frames 31 extending vertically and horizontal frames 32 extending horizontally, forming a rectangular frame-like portion. Note that spaces are provided between the vertical frames 31 and the horizontal frames 32 for cable routing. However, in this embodiment, a plate 33 is attached to the rectangular frame-like portion formed by the vertical frames 31 and the horizontal frames 32 to prevent animals and other objects from passing through the inside of the rectangular frame-like portion in the forward and backward directions. Furthermore, this plate 33 can protect the incoming cable IC from external environmental factors such as animals, rain, and sunlight.

[0016] The bottom of the freestanding stand 3 is provided with a base 34 to make it easier to support the vertical frame 31 and other components. The base 34 is configured to be longer than the longitudinal length of the vertical frame 31, preventing the freestanding stand 3 from tipping over when placed on the floor. The base 34 is preferably configured to have a cable entry port on part of its bottom surface so that an incoming cable IC can be passed through from directly below. The cable entry port may be an opening that is always open, or may be configured to have a portion that can be opened when necessary.

[0017] At least one charging device 2 is attached to the self-standing stand 3. At least one of the charging devices 2 attached to the front side of the self-standing stand 3 has a first opening 11 on the bottom surface through which an incoming cable IC can be inserted (see FIG. 4). When multiple charging devices 2 are attached to the self-standing stand 3, the other charging devices 2 may not have an opening on the bottom surface through which an incoming cable IC can be inserted, but it is preferable that all charging devices 2 attached to the self-standing stand 3 have a first opening 11 on the bottom surface through which an incoming cable IC can be inserted.

[0018] Furthermore, one of the charging devices 2 provided on the front side of the self-standing stand 3 is attached so that the first opening 11 is located on the front side and outside of the self-standing stand 3. Therefore, the work of connecting the incoming cable IC to the charging device 2 can be performed outside the self-standing stand 3.

[0019] In addition to the first opening 11 provided on the bottom surface, the charging device 2 of the embodiment is provided with a second opening 12 on the back side, and an incoming cable IC can also be inserted through this second opening 12. Therefore, it is also possible to supply electricity to the charging device 2 by inserting an incoming cable IC through the second opening 12 instead of the first opening 11.

[0020] The electric vehicle charging stand 1 of the present invention is provided with a cover 4 attached to the self-standing stand 3. This cover 4 serves to protect the incoming cable IC that is wired from the lower side of the self-standing stand 3 to the first opening 11 provided on the bottom surface of the charging device 2, and makes it possible to protect the incoming cable IC from the external environment, such as animals, rain, and sunlight.

[0021] Furthermore, the cover 4 of the embodiment is designed to be easily attached and detached while the incoming cable IC is inserted through the first opening 11, thereby enhancing convenience. More specifically, the cover 4 is designed to ensure a path for the incoming cable IC directly above the cover 4.

[0022] Furthermore, the cover 4 of the embodiment can protect the incoming cable IC from near the bottom of the stand 3 to near the charging device 2. To make this possible, the cover 4 of the embodiment is configured so that the length in the vertical direction is longer than the length in the horizontal direction.

[0023] Furthermore, the cover 4 is connected to both vertical frames 31 located on the left and right sides of the self-standing stand 3 so as to be able to protect the incoming cable IC located below the charging device 2. The cover 4 shown in Figures 1 to 3 can be partially inserted into a cover mounting hole 35 provided in the self-standing stand 3, making it easy to appropriately position the cover 4.

[0024] 1 to 3, the cover 4, with a portion thereof inserted into the cover mounting hole 35, is slid slightly upward and then screwed to the horizontal frame 32 together with the cover portion 36, which is adjacent to the base portion 34. Therefore, the work of fixing the cover 4 and the work of covering the base portion 34 with the cover portion 36 can be performed simultaneously.

[0025] Furthermore, the cover 4 of the embodiment is configured so that it can be attached to the self-standing stand 3 even when upside down, and the top end of the cover 4 has a different shape when it is upside down. In the example shown in FIG. 5, when the cover 4 is attached to the self-standing stand 3 in the upside-down relationship shown in FIG. 5, it can be attached in the manner shown in FIG. 6. On the other hand, when the cover 4 is attached to the self-standing stand 3 upside down, it can be attached in the manner shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. In this case, the top end of the cover 4 can be attached horizontally, so the cover 4 can be positioned adjacent to the bottom surface of the charging device 2.

[0026] 6, the upper end of the cover 4 is not adjacent to the bottom surface of the charging device 2, but in this embodiment, components such as the cable holding member 5 can be disposed below the bottom surface of the charging device 2. Note that even when the cable holding member 5 or the like is attached to the charging device 2 or the self-standing stand 3 so as to be positioned directly below the charging device 2, it is possible to ensure that the incoming cable IC can be inserted through the first opening 11. Furthermore, if the cable holding member 5 or the like is used to protect the portion that cannot be protected by the cover 4 alone, the protection of the incoming cable IC can be extended up to the vicinity of the first opening 11.

[0027] 9 and 10 show an example in which the portion that cannot be protected by the cover 4 alone is protected by a cable holding member 5 around which the excess outgoing cable OC can be wound, and the protection of the incoming cable IC extends up to the vicinity of the first opening 11. In this example, the lower portion of the cable holding member 5 attached to the charging device 2 is configured to be separated from the self-standing stand 3, and part of the cover 4 is interposed between the cable holding member 5 and the self-standing stand 3.

[0028] As can be seen from this example, the electric vehicle charging stand 1 is preferably equipped with a cable holding member 5 capable of holding the outgoing cable OC coming out from the charging device 2, and is configured such that a portion of the cover 4 is positioned in the space between the cable holding member 5 and the freestanding stand 3.

[0029] In this example, the lower part of the cable holding member 5 is configured so that the distance from the free-standing stand 3 increases as it goes downward. In order to accommodate the cover 4 to the structure of this cable holding member 5, the left and right portions of the upper end of the cover 4 are configured so that the length in the front-to-rear direction becomes shorter as it goes upward.

[0030] More specifically, the left and right portions of the upper end of the cover 4 have tapered portions 41 that taper when viewed from the side, and these tapered portions 41 can prevent animals and the like from entering from the left and right directions directly behind the cable holding member 5.

[0031] As can be understood from these descriptions, the electric vehicle charging stand 1 is preferably configured such that a portion of the cable holding member 5 is spaced further away from the freestanding stand 3 as it goes downward, and the cover 4 is provided with a tapered portion 41 at a location adjacent to that portion that corresponds to that portion.

[0032] The cover 4 of the example shown in Fig. 3 is configured to have a portion whose horizontal cross section is approximately M-shaped. This portion whose horizontal cross section is approximately M-shaped is attached so that it has one recess on the front side and two recesses on the back side (see Fig. 11). The front-side recess 42 extends in the vertical direction and allows the outlet cable OC used to send electricity from the charging device 2 to the vehicle to pass through. By allowing the outlet cable OC to pass through the front-side recess 42, the outlet cable OC can be protected near the first opening 11.

[0033] It is also possible to provide the front recess 42 on the front surface side, but not provide any recess on the back surface side. Also, the back surface may be provided with only one recess, back recess 43, or may be provided with three or more back recesses 43. In any case, it is preferable to provide the back surface of cover 4 with a back recess 43 through which an incoming cable IC can be passed.

[0034] As can be understood from these descriptions, it is preferable that the front surface of the cover 4 is provided with a front recess 42, which is a recess through which the outgoing cable OC coming out from the bottom surface of the charging device 2 can be passed, and that the back surface of the cover 4, outside the self-standing stand 3, is provided with a back recess 43, which is a recess through which the incoming cable IC can be passed.

[0035] Furthermore, it is preferable that the rear recess 43 on the rear side of the cover 4 is configured to extend in the vertical direction so that incoming cable ICs can be wired. Furthermore, if multiple rear recesses 43 are provided, it is possible to prevent incoming cable ICs from being placed adjacent to each other. In the example shown in Fig. 11, two rear recesses 43 are provided on the rear side of the cover 4, and different incoming cable ICs are allowed to pass through each rear recess 43.

[0036] In this example, an incoming cable IC used to supply power is wired to one of the rear recesses 43 on the back side of the cover 4, and an incoming cable IC used to send and receive signals is wired to the other rear recess 43, but combinations other than this example may also be used.

[0037] It is also preferable that the front recess 42 provided on the front surface side of the cover 4 is located between the two rear recesses 43 provided on the rear surface side of the cover 4. This allows the rear recesses 43 to be spaced apart, making it easier to organize the incoming cable ICs and allowing for effective use of space.

[0038] Furthermore, if the incoming cable IC used to supply power is wired to one of the rear recesses 43 and the incoming cable IC used to transmit and receive signals is wired to the other rear recess 43, the possibility of the incoming cable IC used to supply power causing noise in the incoming cable IC used to transmit and receive signals can be reduced.

[0039] Furthermore, if incoming cable ICs are adversely affected by noise, the voltage rises and performance drops. In some cases, the incoming cable IC's performance may drop significantly from its original level. This type of noise can be suppressed by using noise filters or noise sheets, but by increasing the distance between each incoming cable IC, it is possible to reduce the amount of noise filters required, and in some cases, noise filters may not even be necessary.

[0040] 12, the incoming cable IC is wired so as to extend in the vertical direction in front of the vertical frames 31, but this is not a limitation. For example, the incoming cable IC may be sandwiched between the vertical frames 31 up to near the center of the freestanding stand 3, and then wired forward of the vertical frames 31 from there to the charging device 2.

[0041] In addition, when the second opening 12 is used, as shown in Figure 13, an example is to wire the incoming cable IC so that it is sandwiched between the vertical frames 31 from the lower end of the self-standing stand 3 to the charging device 2, but it is also possible to wire the incoming cable IC so that it extends in the vertical direction forward of the vertical frames 31 until near the center of the self-standing stand 3, and then wire the incoming cable IC so that it is sandwiched between the vertical frames 31 from there to the charging device 2.

[0042] In the above example, the space between the vertical frames 31 and the back side of the cover 4 is integrated and provided as a wiring space in which the incoming cable IC can be wired, but the space between the vertical frames 31 and the space located directly behind the cover 4 may be separated. In this case, the incoming cable IC can be wired so as to extend vertically from the bottom of the freestanding stand 3 to the vicinity of the charging device 2 in the space between the vertical frames 31 or the space located directly behind the cover 4.

[0043] The cover 4 may also be substantially planar (see FIG. 14). In this case, the incoming cable IC can be extended vertically between the vertical frames 31, rather than extending vertically in front of the vertical frames 31 (see FIG. 15). As can be seen from FIG. 16, in this example, the incoming cable IC is located above the cover 4 and extends from the space between the vertical frames 31 into the space in front of the vertical frames 31, and in this state the incoming cable IC is inserted into the first opening 11. In this case, the incoming cable IC is inserted into the first opening 11 of the charging device 2, but the incoming cable IC may also be inserted into the second opening 12 as needed (see FIG. 17).

[0044] In the examples so far, the charging device 2 has been provided only on the front side of the self-standing stand 3, but next we will explain an example in which a charging device 2 is also provided on the rear side of the self-standing stand 3. In the example shown in Fig. 18, the rear charging device 2 also has a first opening 11 on the bottom surface through which the incoming cable IC can be inserted.

[0045] In this example, a plate 33 that functions as a partition is attached to one side of the freestanding stand 3, and the incoming cable IC connected to the charging device 2 provided on the front side is wired in the space on one side of this plate 33, and the incoming cable IC connected to the charging device 2 provided on the rear side is wired in the space on the other side of the plate 33 (see FIG. 19). In this way, incoming cable ICs connected to different charging devices 2 can be prevented from crossing each other, making wiring work easier.

[0046] The partition formed by the plate 33 or the like may be positioned between the cover 4 located on the front side of the self-standing stand 3 and the second cover 4a located on the rear side of the self-standing stand 3, and may be arranged to divide the space between the vertical frames 31 into front and rear. However, it is preferable to position the partition along the front or rear end of the vertical frames 31. In any case, it is preferable that the partition divides the space in the front-to-rear direction so that the paths of the incoming cables IC connected to each of the charging devices 2 located in the front and rear can be roughly divided for each charging device 2.

[0047] That is, it is preferable to provide a configuration in which a charging device 2 is provided on the front side of the stand 3 and another charging device 2 is provided on the rear side, a partition is provided between the first cover 4 located on the front side of the stand 3 and the second cover 4a located on the rear side of the stand 3, and a wiring space is provided between the partition and the first cover 4 and between the partition and the second cover 4a. When charging devices 2 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the stand 3, it is preferable that at least one of the cover 4 and the second cover 4a has a back-side recess 43. In this way, it is easy to ensure a wiring space regardless of the position of the partition.

[0048] In this example, as can be seen from Figure 20, both the incoming cable IC connected to the charging device 2 provided on the front side of the freestanding stand 3 and the incoming cable IC connected to the charging device 2 provided on the rear side of the freestanding stand 3 are each wired through the outside of the freestanding stand 3 from the bottom of the freestanding stand 3 to the charging device 2, but this example does not have to be limited to this.

[0049] In addition, in the example shown in Figure 19, each cover 4 has a portion with an approximately M-shaped cross section, and the output cable OC of each charging device 2 can be passed through the front-side recess portion 42 provided in each cover 4, but this example does not have to be limited to this.

[0050] 18, a cable holding member 5 is attached to the bottom of both the charging device 2 located on the front side of the stand 3 and the charging device 2 located on the rear side, but in the example shown in Fig. 21, a cable holding member 5 is attached to the bottom of the charging device 2 located on the front side of the stand 3, but not to the bottom of the charging device 2 located on the rear side. Of course, a configuration in which no cable holding member is attached to the bottom of each charging device 2 is also possible.

[0051] In the example shown in Figure 22, the charging device 2 located at the front has the incoming cable IC inserted into the first opening 11, while the charging device 2 located at the rear has the incoming cable IC inserted into the second opening 12.

[0052] In the embodiment, the relationship between the charging device 2, the incoming cable IC, and the outgoing cable OC is such that the incoming cable IC is located on both sides of the outgoing cable OC in a front view (see FIGS. 23 and 24).

[0053] 23 and 24, in this embodiment, first openings 11 are provided at the end of the bottom surface of the charging device 2. Also, outlet openings 14, through which the outlet cable OC can be inserted, are provided near the center of the bottom surface of the charging device 2 when viewed from the front. More specifically, the outlet openings 14 are provided between the first openings 11 provided on the bottom surface of the charging device 2.

[0054] It is not always necessary to provide two or more first openings 11, and it is also possible to have one first opening 11 and one output wire opening 14. In this case, it is preferable to configure the first opening 11 and the output wire opening 14 so that they are adjacent to each other.

[0055] In this embodiment, the incoming cable IC is arranged to pass through the first opening 11 and the rear recess 43, and the first opening 11 and the rear recess 43 are configured to be positioned in correspondence with each other in the vertical direction. Also, the outgoing cable OC is arranged to pass through the outgoing cable opening 14 and the front recess 42, and the outgoing cable opening 14 and the front recess 42 are configured to be positioned in correspondence with each other in the vertical direction. Therefore, the incoming cable IC and the outgoing cable OC can be wired in a straight line from the cover 4 to the charging device 2 (see FIG. 24).

[0056] While the present invention has been described above using the embodiments as examples, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be embodied in various forms. For example, the charging device does not have to be mounted on only one or two freestanding stands. [Explanation of symbols]
