The heat of the primary coil 32 is also removed through the primary cider case 33, and the primary coil 32 is discharged outward from the insertion hole 26A. on the other hand,
The cooling air passing through the gap 36A between the primary core 31 and the primary coil 32 removes heat from the cylindrical leg 31B of the primary core 31 and the inner peripheral surface of the primary coil 32, and enters the primary shield case 33. Then, the heat enters the back surface of the vertical plate portion 31A of the primary core 31 and is discharged to the outside through an exhaust port (not shown).

The cooling air from the cooling unit 9 can forcibly cool both the coil units 20 and 30, and the cooling air from which heat has been taken is released to the outside of the receiving part 12, so that the heat does not stay inside the receiving part 12 and the temperature rises. Can be suppressed. Moreover, the fan 2 is located on the back side of the receiving portion 12 in the insertion direction of the primary coil 32.
9, the cooling air can flow stably from one end of the coils 22 and 32 to the other end, and can discharge heat to the outside.
Good cooling efficiency. In addition, since there are gaps 28A and 36A for allowing cooling air to flow on the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the primary coil 32 inserted inside the secondary coil 22, heat is generally stored in the inner portion of the inner coil having poor heat radiation. Further, since the gaps 28A and 36A are formed by the spacer pieces 28 and the ridges 36, the gaps 28A and 36A can be stably secured without being closed.

In addition to the following, various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. (1) In the above-described embodiment, a cooling air supply unit using a fan has been exemplified. However, for example, a configuration in which compressed air from a compressor is guided to an air outlet 27A by a hose and compressed air is discharged therefrom. Is also good. (2) In the above embodiment, the charging connector 1
By providing a suction fan on the exhaust port side (not shown) of 3, the exhaust efficiency of the cooling air can be increased. (3) In the above embodiment, the ridge 3 provided on the primary core 31
The gap 36A is formed by 6 (spacer portion). For example, the gap 36A is formed between the coil 32 and the core 31 only by the support by each shield case 33 without providing the core 31 with the spacer portion. May be done. (4) For example, as shown in FIG.
1 and a through hole 41 penetrating the circular base 21C back and forth, and the primary core 31 corresponding to the through hole 41 is formed.
Forming a through hole 42 penetrating in the axial direction of the cylindrical leg 31B,
If cooling air flows through these through holes 41 and 42 to cool the cores 21 and 31 from the cores, the cooling efficiency is improved. (5) Further, if a plurality of projections are formed on the inner peripheral surfaces of the through holes 41 and 42 shown in FIG. 11, the contact area between the cooling air and the core is increased, and the cooling air becomes turbulent. Through hole 4
Since the cooling air flowing on the surfaces of the first and second surfaces and the cooling air flowing on the central portion are easily exchanged, the cooling efficiency is further improved. (6) To increase the contact area between the core and the cooling air, as shown in FIG.
A configuration in which a plurality of through holes 43 and 44 are formed in parallel with C and the columnar leg 31B of the primary core may be employed.
