  • Publication number: 20230107734
    Abstract: A connector driving structure includes an operating part, a driving part that moves in conjunction with movement of the operating part, a connector elastically supported by the driving part, a damper supported by the connector, and a battery stand. Operating the operating part changes the position of the driving part between a close position where the driving part is close to the battery stand and an away position where the driving part is away from the battery stand. The connector includes a connector terminal and a terminal holding portion holding the connector terminal. The damper is provided such that its first end is supported by the terminal holding portion and its second end abuts against the battery base.
