the output terminal unit further comprises a lever coupled to the terminal cover and that is selectively hooked with the terminal body, and

the lever is rotated by the pressing rib passing through the rib penetration part while the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit which causes the hooked state of the lever with respect to the terminal body to be released.

2. The charging device according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal cover comprises a terminal penetration part through which the output terminal passes.

3. The charging device according to claim 2 , wherein, before the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit, the output terminal is spaced apart from the terminal penetration part inside the terminal cover.

4. The charging device according to claim 3 , wherein the output terminal unit further comprises an elastic member that elastically supports the terminal cover to maintain the state in which the output terminal is spaced apart from the terminal penetration part before the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit.

5. The charging device according to claim 1 , further comprising a holding unit on which the battery pack is seated, and the output terminal unit is disposed,

wherein the terminal body passes through the holding unit within the holding unit to protrude to the outside of the holding unit, and

the terminal cover covers the output terminal of the terminal body protruding to the outside of the holding unit.

6. The charging device according to claim 1 , wherein the lever comprises:

a rotational shaft rotatably coupled to the terminal cover;

a first rib extending from the rotational shaft and hooked with the terminal body; and

a second rib extending from at least one of the rotational shaft and the first rib and pressed by the pressing rib while the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit.

7. The charging device according to claim 6 , wherein the terminal body further comprises:

a frame to which the output terminal is fixed;

a hook part disposed on the frame and hooked with the first rib; and

an insertion part defined in one side of the hook part.

8. The charging device according to claim 7 , wherein the first rib is hooked with the hook part before the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit, and

the lever is rotated by the pressing rib to allow the first rib to be inserted into the insertion part while the input terminal unit of the battery pack is connected to the output terminal unit.

9. The charging device according to claim 7 , wherein the insertion part comprises:

a first insertion part into which the first rib is inserted; and

a second insertion part which extends from the first insertion part and into which the second rib is inserted,

wherein the hook part is disposed on each of both edges of the second insertion part.

10. A charging device comprising:

an output terminal unit connected to an input terminal unit of a battery pack,

wherein the output terminal unit comprises:

a terminal cover with a terminal penetration part;

a terminal body comprising a frame to which the output terminal passing through the terminal penetration part is fixed; and

a moving mechanism that is moved by the battery pack while the battery pack is mounted which moves the terminal body which causes the output terminal to pass through the terminal penetration part to selectively protrude to the outside of the terminal cover,

wherein the moving mechanism comprises:

a lever connected to the frame; and

a link pressed by the battery pack which operates the lever,

wherein the charging device further comprises a fixing unit comprising a link support part guiding vertical movement of the link and a lever fixing part to which the lever is rotatably coupled.

11. The charging device according to claim 10 , wherein, in a state in which the battery pack is not mounted, the output terminal is spaced apart from the terminal penetration part.

12. The charging device according to claim 11 , wherein the moving mechanism moves the terminal body upward while the battery pack is mounted which causes the output terminal to pass through the terminal penetration part to protrude upward from the terminal cover.

13. The charging device according to claim 10 , wherein the frame comprises a guide part guiding vertical movement of the frame, and

the fixing unit comprises a terminal body support part disposed to correspond to the guide part and comprising a rib inserted into the guide part.

14. The charging device according to claim 10 , wherein the link comprises:

a link body movable in a vertical direction; and

a guide part disposed on one surface of the link body,

wherein the link support part further comprises a sliding hole into which the guide part is inserted.

15. The charging device according to claim 10 , wherein the lever comprises:

a main body comprising a rotational shaft;

a pressing part extending from the main body in one direction; and

an elevation part extending from the main body in the other direction and connected to the frame.

16. The charging device according to claim 15 , wherein the frame comprises a lever coupling part to which the elevation part is rotatably connected, and

the lever coupling part comprises a curved portion having the same shape as a moving trajectory of the elevation part while the lever rotates which causes the frame to ascend without an interference between the elevation part and the frame while the lever rotates.

17. The charging device according to claim 15 , wherein the link comprises:

a lever accommodation part in which the pressing part is accommodated; and

a pressing rib support part disposed on one side of the lever accommodation part to support a pressing rib of the battery pack.

18. The charging device according to claim 17 , further comprising an elastic member elastically supporting the link and moving the frame downward when the battery pack is separated.
