  • Patent number: 9515418
    Abstract: Technical problem to be solved is to provide an energy receiving port device 3 which makes movement of a supply gun 10 to a removing direction during energy supplying impossible only by a lid 5 for opening and closing a receiving port part 4, and improve a situation in which the receiving port part 5 is widely opened during the supplying. The lid 5 for opening and closing the receiving port part 4 comprises a first lid 5a and a second lid 5b that form a plane lid when the lids are closed. An opening and closing device 6a of the first lid 5a and an opening and closing device 6b of the second lid 5b are provided. The supply gun 10 connected to the receiving port 8 is pinched by the first lid 5a and the second lid 5b to make a movement in a removing direction of the supply gun 10 impossible.
