Abstract
When a power plug locking device moves a plate to a lock position or unlock position, the plate is rotated toward an operational end position with a power plug lock motor while the current of the motor is detected. When the plate comes into contact with a switching piece of a switching mechanism, the switching piece applies a load to the plate. When the current flowing through the motor becomes greater than or equal to a threshold, the supply of power to the power plug lock motor is stopped. Then, switching load of the switching mechanismpushes and moves the disk to an operational end position (lock position or unlock position).
