Charge connector locking apparatus
First Claim
1. A charging connector locking apparatus for locking a state in which a plug latch of a plug connector is coupled to an inlet connector when the inlet connector is coupled to the plug connector for charging, the charging connector locking apparatus comprising:
- a coupling latch configured to be rotated while overcoming a resilient force of a resilient member and located adjacent to the plug latch due to an entry of the plug latch; and
a fixing rod, wherein a tip end of the fixing rod is positioned at one side of the coupling latch such that the coupling latch is configured to be rotated by the plug latch and maintains a state in which the coupling latch is located adjacent to the plug latch to stop an operation of the plug latch.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a charging connector locking apparatus. The apparatus includes a coupling latch installed in an inlet housing of the inlet connector to be supported by a resilient member so as to be rotatable by a predetermined angle, and having an interlocking curved surface by which a tip end of the plug latch is guided; a fixing rod moved to be positioned at a side of the coupling latch facing the plug latch to prevent movement of the plug latch in a release direction; and a driving source for providing driving power for movement of the fixing rod.
