Title:
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CONNECTOR AND POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM USING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/029342
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of making it hard to release the lock even if the supply of power from a power conversion device is stopped during charging or discharging. An electrical connection connector (1) comprises a connection portion (11) and a lock mechanism portion (17). The connection portion (11) is connected so as to be freely inserted into and removed from an inlet (21) of an electric vehicle (2) mounted with a storage battery (23). The lock mechanism portion (17) mechanically locks the connection portion (11) so that the connection portion (11) is not unlocked from the inlet (21). The lock mechanism portion (17) also has a movable portion and a drive portion. The movable portion moves between a position where the connection portion (11) is locked and a position where the connection portion (11) is not locked. The drive portion drives the movable portion by the power supplied from a power conversion device (3) to which the drive portion is electrically connected through a cable (15) and maintains the position of the movable portion even if the supply of power from the power conversion device (3) is stopped.
