This improves the turning operability of the lever.

従来、自動車用ワイヤハーネスに用いる複数のコネクタを収容保持して、電気接続箱や車体パネル等に固定するものとしてコネクタホルダーが用いられている。
近時、コネクタは多極化により大型化し、このようなコネクタは相手方コネクタとの結合に大きな嵌合力を要することより、レバー式コネクタが汎用されている。該レバー式コネクタは、一方のコネクタハウジングにコ字枠状のレバーを設け、該レバーの回動操作で他方のコネクタを引き付けて嵌合させる構成からなる。該レバー式コネクタを前記コネクタホルダーで保持する場合には、レバーを取り付けたコネクタをホルダーのコネクタ収容部に収容保持しておき、レバーを倒した状態でホルダーの壁上面に載置しておき、相手方コネクタを嵌合させる時にレバーを壁上面より回転させコネクタ同士を嵌合結合している。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, connector holders have been used as housing and holding a plurality of connectors used in an automobile wire harness and fixing them to an electrical junction box, a vehicle body panel or the like.
In recent years, connectors have become larger due to the increase in the number of poles, and such connectors require a large fitting force for coupling with a mating connector, so lever-type connectors are widely used. The lever-type connector has a configuration in which a U-shaped frame-shaped lever is provided in one connector housing, and the other connector is attracted and fitted by rotating the lever. When holding the lever-type connector with the connector holder, the connector with the lever attached is stored and held in the connector housing portion of the holder, and placed on the upper surface of the holder wall in a state where the lever is tilted, When the mating connector is fitted, the lever is rotated from the upper surface of the wall to fit and connect the connectors.

本出願人は、特開平１０−４１００５号（特許文献１）において、図９に示すように、レバー式コネクタを収容して電気接続箱等に固定するコネクタホルダー１を提供している。該コネクタホルダー１は、収容部１ａにレバー式コネクタ２を収容し、相手方コネクタ（図示せず）と嵌合するまで一方の側壁１ｂ側にレバー３を倒して仮係止しておき、相手方コネクタとの嵌合の際に、他方の側壁１ｃ側にレバー３を回動させてレバー式コネクタ２と相手方コネクタとを嵌合させている。  In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-41005 (Patent Document 1), the present applicant provides a connector holder 1 that houses a lever-type connector and is fixed to an electrical connection box or the like as shown in FIG. The connector holder 1 accommodates the lever-type connector 2 in the accommodating portion 1a, and tentatively locks the counterpart connector 3 by tilting the lever 3 on one side wall 1b side until it is fitted to the counterpart connector (not shown). At the time of fitting, the lever 3 is turned to the other side wall 1c side to fit the lever connector 2 and the mating connector.

しかしながら、前記コネクタホルダー１であると、仮係止したレバー３とコネクタホルダー１の一方の側壁１ｂとの間に十分なスペースがない場合、レバー３を回動させる際に、レバー３と側壁１ｂとの間に指を入れることができずレバー３の回動操作を行いにくい問題がある。
特開平１０−４１００５号公報 However, in the case of the connector holder 1, when there is not enough space between the temporarily locked lever 3 and one side wall 1b of the connector holder 1, the lever 3 and the side wall 1b are turned when the lever 3 is rotated. There is a problem that it is difficult to turn the lever 3 because the finger cannot be put between the two.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-41005

本発明は前記問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、レバー式コネクタのレバーに指を掛けやすくすることでレバーの回動操作を容易にできるようにすることを課題としている。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to make it easy to turn the lever by making it easy to put a finger on the lever of the lever-type connector.

前記課題を解決するため、本発明は、コネクタハウジングよりコ字枠状のレバーを回動可能に軸支しているレバー式コネクタを収容する複数のコネクタ収容部を備えたコネクタホルダーであって、
前記コネクタ収容部を囲む壁を前記レバー式コネクタのレバーの中央連結部を載置するレバー載置部としていると共に、該レバー載置部の中央部にあたる壁上面から外側面にかけて切り欠いた指入れ用凹部を設け、前記コネクタ収容部に収容保持されている前記レバー式コネクタに相手方コネクタを嵌合して前記レバーを回動操作する際に、前記指入れ用凹部に指を入れて前記レバーの中央連結部を回動操作できる構成としていることを特徴とするコネクタホルダーを提供している。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention is a connector holder comprising a plurality of connector housing portions for housing a lever-type connector that pivotally supports a U-shaped frame-shaped lever from a connector housing,
The wall surrounding the connector housing portion is used as a lever mounting portion for mounting the central coupling portion of the lever of the lever-type connector, and the finger holder is cut out from the upper surface of the wall corresponding to the central portion of the lever mounting portion to the outer surface. When the other connector is fitted to the lever-type connector that is housed and held in the connector housing portion and the lever is operated to rotate, the finger is placed in the finger insertion recess and the lever There is provided a connector holder characterized in that the central connecting portion can be rotated.

前記構成によれば、レバー式コネクタのレバーの中央連結部を載置しているレバー載置部の中央部に指入れ用凹部を設けているため、レバーを回動操作する際に指入れ用凹部に指を入れてレバーに指を簡単に掛けることができ回動操作を容易にできる。
また、指入れ用凹部はコネクタ収容部を囲む壁の下端まで設けず、指入れができる程度の凹部として下方に壁を残している。よって、該壁によりレバー式コネクタに接続した電線とレバーとが遮ぎられるため、電線がレバーに引っ掛ってレバーの回動操作が行いにくくなったり、レバーに電線が干渉して仮係止位置から外れ、相手方コネクタとの嵌合の際にレバーを仮係止位置に戻さなければならなくなる問題もなく、レバー式コネクタと相手方コネクタとの嵌合の作業性が低下することがない。また、指入れ用凹部の下方に壁を残すことにより、コネクタホルダーの強度を保つことができる利点もある。 According to the above configuration, since the concave portion for finger insertion is provided in the central portion of the lever mounting portion on which the central coupling portion of the lever of the lever-type connector is mounted, when the lever is operated to rotate, A finger can be easily put on the lever by putting the finger in the recess, and the turning operation can be facilitated.
Moreover, the recessed part for finger insertion does not provide to the lower end of the wall surrounding a connector accommodating part, but leaves the wall below as a recessed part which can be inserted into a finger. Therefore, since the electric wire connected to the lever-type connector and the lever are blocked by the wall, it becomes difficult for the electric wire to be caught by the lever and the lever to be rotated, or the electric wire interferes with the lever and the temporary locking position. Thus, there is no problem that the lever must be returned to the temporary locking position when mating with the mating connector, and the workability of mating between the lever-type connector and the mating connector is not reduced. Moreover, there is also an advantage that the strength of the connector holder can be maintained by leaving a wall below the finger insertion recess.

前記少なくとも１つのレバー載置部は、前記指入れ用凹部を挟む壁外面の両側位置に、該壁上面に載置する前記レバーよりも突出する保護壁を設けていることが好ましい。
前記構成によれば、保護壁でレバーの側面を囲っているため、上方以外からレバーに外部干渉材が干渉するのを防止でき、レバーが仮係止状態から外れるのを確実に防止することができる。また、保護壁を設けることにより、コネクタホルダーの強度を保つことができる利点もある。 It is preferable that the at least one lever placing portion is provided with a protective wall protruding from the lever placed on the upper surface of the wall on both sides of the outer wall surface sandwiching the finger insertion recess.
According to the above configuration, since the side wall of the lever is surrounded by the protective wall, it is possible to prevent the external interference material from interfering with the lever from other than the upper side, and to reliably prevent the lever from coming off from the temporarily locked state. it can. Moreover, there is an advantage that the strength of the connector holder can be maintained by providing the protective wall.

前述したように、本発明によれば、レバー式コネクタを収容するコネクタホルダーにおいて、レバー式コネクタのレバーの中央連結部を載置しているレバー載置部の中央部に指入れ用凹部を設けているため、レバーを回動操作する際に指入れ用凹部に指を入れてレバーに指を簡単に掛けることができ回動操作を容易にできる。
また、指入れ用凹部は収容部を囲む壁の下端まで設けず、指入れ用凹部の下方に壁を残して、該壁によりレバー式コネクタに接続した電線とレバーとを遮っているため、電線がレバーに引っ掛ったり、レバーに電線が干渉して仮係止位置から外れる問題もなく、レバー式コネクタと相手方コネクタとの嵌合の作業性が低下することがない。 As described above, according to the present invention, in the connector holder that accommodates the lever type connector, the finger insertion recess is provided in the central portion of the lever mounting portion on which the central coupling portion of the lever of the lever type connector is mounted. Therefore, when turning the lever, the finger can be easily put on the lever by placing the finger in the finger insertion recess and the turning operation can be facilitated.
In addition, the recess for finger insertion is not provided up to the lower end of the wall surrounding the housing portion, leaving a wall below the recess for finger insertion and blocking the wire and lever connected to the lever-type connector by the wall. There is no problem that the lever is caught on the lever, or the electric wire interferes with the lever and is not released from the temporary locking position, and the workability of the fitting between the lever-type connector and the mating connector does not deteriorate.

Similarly, finger insertion recesses 15A and 15C are cut out at the center of the lever placement portions 14A and 14C, respectively.
These finger insertion recesses 15A, 15B, and 15C are set to such a depth that a finger of an operator who rotates the lever 22 of the lever-type connector 20 can sufficiently enter.

また、コネクタ収容部１１Ａと１１Ｂ、１１Ｃと１１Ｂを仕切っている壁１３に設けたレバー載置部１４Ａ、１４Ｃは、コネクタホルダー１０の外周壁に設けたレバー載置部１４Ｂよりも高い位置に設けて、収容部１１Ｂにレバー式コネクタ２０を収容した状態でも収容部１１Ａ、１１Ｃに収容したレバー式コネクタ２０のレバー２２に指を掛けて回動できるようにしている。
コネクタホルダー１０には、所要箇所に車体パネル等へ位置決め固定するためのクランプ１６を設けている。 The lever mounting portions 14A and 14C provided on the wall 13 partitioning the connector housing portions 11A and 11B and 11C and 11B are provided at a position higher than the lever mounting portion 14B provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connector holder 10. Thus, even when the lever-type connector 20 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 11B, the lever 22 of the lever-type connector 20 accommodated in the accommodating portions 11A and 11C can be turned by turning a finger.
The connector holder 10 is provided with a clamp 16 for positioning and fixing to a vehicle body panel or the like at a required location.

コネクタホルダー１０の収容部１１に収容するレバー式コネクタ２０は、図２に示すように、電線ｗ１の端末に接続されているものであり、コネクタハウジング２１よりコ字枠状のレバー２２を回動可能に軸支している。レバー２２は、左右両枠部２２ｂの先端を中央連結部２２ａにより連結し、該中央連結部２２ａを回動操作用の把持部としている。また、レバー２２の左右両枠部２２ｂの内面に凹部（図示せず）を設けると共に、コネクタハウジング２１の外面の所要箇所に前記凹部に係止する凸部（図示せず）を設けており、該凹部と凸部が係合することによりレバー２２は仮係止位置で保持されている。
コネクタハウジング２１の上面側には、相手方コネクタ３０を収容する嵌合凹部２３を設け、該嵌合凹部２３の底壁２３ａにレバー式コネクタ２０の端子（図示せず）を突出させる端子孔２４を穿設している。
一方、レバー式コネクタ２０に嵌合する相手方コネクタ３０は電線ｗ２の端末に接続されており、レバー式コネクタ２０の嵌合凹部２３に収容した後、レバー２２を図２に示す仮係止位置から他方側へと回動させることによりレバー式コネクタ２０に嵌合されるものである。 As shown in FIG. 2, the lever-type connector 20 accommodated in the accommodating portion 11 of the connector holder 10 is connected to the end of the electric wire w <b> 1, and the U-shaped frame-shaped lever 22 is rotated from the connector housing 21. It is pivotally supported. The lever 22 connects the distal ends of both the left and right frame portions 22b with a central connecting portion 22a, and the central connecting portion 22a serves as a gripping portion for a rotating operation. Moreover, while providing the recessed part (not shown) in the inner surface of both the right-and-left both frame parts 22b of the lever 22, the convex part (not shown) latched to the said recessed part is provided in the required location of the outer surface of the connector housing 21, The lever 22 is held in the temporary locking position by engaging the concave portion and the convex portion.
A fitting recess 23 for receiving the mating connector 30 is provided on the upper surface side of the connector housing 21, and a terminal hole 24 for projecting a terminal (not shown) of the lever-type connector 20 on the bottom wall 23 a of the fitting recess 23. It is drilled.
On the other hand, the mating connector 30 fitted to the lever type connector 20 is connected to the end of the electric wire w2, and after being accommodated in the fitting recess 23 of the lever type connector 20, the lever 22 is moved from the temporary locking position shown in FIG. The lever-type connector 20 is fitted by turning to the other side.

次に、レバー式コネクタ２０のコネクタホルダー１０への固定方法及びレバー式コネクタ２０と相手方コネクタ３０との嵌合方法について説明する。
先ず、コネクタホルダー１０のコネクタ収容部１１Ａ〜１１Ｃにそれぞれレバー式コネクタ２０を挿入して係止する。このとき、レバー式コネクタ２０のレバー２２は仮係止位置から少し他方側へ回動させておき、挿入作業の邪魔にならないようにしている。そして、レバー式コネクタ２０をコネクタホルダー１０のコネクタ収容部１１に係止した後、レバー２２を仮係止位置に戻すと、図３及び図４に示すように、レバー２２の中央連結部２２ａがコネクタホルダー１０のレバー載置部１４上に載置される。 Next, a method for fixing the lever-type connector 20 to the connector holder 10 and a method for fitting the lever-type connector 20 and the counterpart connector 30 will be described.
First, the lever-type connector 20 is inserted and locked in the connector accommodating portions 11A to 11C of the connector holder 10, respectively. At this time, the lever 22 of the lever-type connector 20 is slightly rotated from the temporary locking position to the other side so as not to obstruct the insertion operation. When the lever connector 20 is locked to the connector housing portion 11 of the connector holder 10 and then the lever 22 is returned to the temporary locking position, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the central connecting portion 22a of the lever 22 is moved. It is mounted on the lever mounting portion 14 of the connector holder 10.

このようにしてレバー式コネクタ２０を固定したコネクタホルダー１０を相手方コネクタ３０との嵌合作業を行う位置まで搬送する。
そして、図５に示すように、コネクタホルダー１０のコネクタ収容部１１Ａに係止したレバー式コネクタ２０の嵌合凹部２３に相手方コネクタ２０を収容し、指入れ用凹部１５Ａに指を入れて、コネクタ収容部１１Ａに収容しているレバー式コネクタ２０のレバー２２の中央連結部２２ａに指を引っ掛け、該レバー２２を仮係止位置から他方側へ回動させ、レバー式コネクタ２０と相手方コネクタ３０とを嵌合する。このとき、コネクタ収容部１１Ｂに収容したレバー式コネクタ２０のレバー２２が指入れ用凹部１５Ａに対向する位置に配置されていないため、指入れ凹部１５Ａに指を簡単に入れることができ、レバー２２の回動操作を行なうことができる。 In this way, the connector holder 10 to which the lever-type connector 20 is fixed is conveyed to a position where the mating operation with the counterpart connector 30 is performed.
Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the mating connector 20 is accommodated in the fitting recess 23 of the lever-type connector 20 locked to the connector accommodating portion 11A of the connector holder 10, and the finger is inserted into the finger insertion recess 15A. A finger is hooked on the central coupling portion 22a of the lever 22 of the lever-type connector 20 housed in the housing portion 11A, and the lever 22 is rotated from the temporary locking position to the other side, so that the lever-type connector 20 and the mating connector 30 Mating. At this time, since the lever 22 of the lever-type connector 20 accommodated in the connector accommodating portion 11B is not disposed at a position facing the finger insertion recess 15A, the finger can be easily inserted into the finger insertion recess 15A. Can be rotated.

次いで、同様に、図６に示すように、コネクタホルダー１０のコネクタ収容部１１Ｂに係止したレバー式コネクタ２０の嵌合凹部２３に相手方コネクタ３０を収容し、指入れ用凹部１５Ｂからレバー２２の中央連結部２２ａに指を引っ掛け、該レバー２２を回動させて、レバー式コネクタ２０と相手方コネクタ３０とを嵌合する。
次いで、図７に示すように、コネクタホルダー１０のコネクタ収容部１１Ｃに係止したレバー式コネクタ２０の嵌合凹部２３に相手方コネクタ２０を収容し、指入れ用凹部１５Ｃからレバー２２の中央連結部２２ａに指を引っ掛け、該レバー２２を回動させて、レバー式コネクタ２０と相手方コネクタ３０とを嵌合する。このとき、コネクタ収容部１１Ｂに収容したレバー式コネクタ２０のレバー２２が既に回動され、指入れ用凹部１５Ｃに対向する位置に配置されていないため、指入れ凹部１５Ｃに指を簡単に入れることができる。前記した態様で全てのレバー式コネクタ２０と相手方コネクタ３０が順次嵌合される。 Next, similarly, as shown in FIG. 6, the mating connector 30 is accommodated in the fitting recess 23 of the lever-type connector 20 locked to the connector accommodating portion 11B of the connector holder 10, and the lever 22 is moved from the finger insertion recess 15B. A finger is hooked on the central connecting portion 22a, and the lever 22 is rotated to fit the lever connector 20 and the mating connector 30 together.
Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the mating connector 20 is accommodated in the fitting recess 23 of the lever-type connector 20 locked to the connector accommodating portion 11 </ b> C of the connector holder 10, and the central connecting portion of the lever 22 from the finger insertion recess 15 </ b> C. The lever 22 is rotated by hooking a finger on 22 a and the lever connector 20 and the mating connector 30 are fitted. At this time, since the lever 22 of the lever-type connector 20 accommodated in the connector accommodating portion 11B has already been rotated and is not disposed at a position facing the finger insertion recess 15C, it is easy to put a finger into the finger insertion recess 15C. Can do. All lever type connectors 20 and mating connectors 30 are sequentially fitted in the above-described manner.

このようにしてレバー式コネクタ２０と相手方コネクタ３０が組み付けられたコネクタホルダー１０を車両に配索する際、車体係止用のクランプ１６を車体パネルに設けた貫通孔に挿入し、コネクタホルダー１０を車体パネルに固定している。   When the connector holder 10 with the lever-type connector 20 and the counterpart connector 30 assembled in this way is routed to the vehicle, the clamp 16 for locking the vehicle body is inserted into the through hole provided in the vehicle body panel, and the connector holder 10 is It is fixed to the body panel.

前記構成とすると、レバー式コネクタ２０のレバー２２の中央連結部２２ａを載置しているレバー載置部１４の中央部に指入れ用凹部１５を設けているため、レバー２２を回動操作する際に指入れ用凹部１５に指を入れてレバー２２に指を簡単に掛けることができ回動操作を容易にできる。
また、指入れ用凹部１５は収容部１１を囲む壁の下端まで設けず、指入れ用凹部１５の下方に壁を残して、該壁によりレバー式コネクタ２０に接続した電線ｗ１とレバー２２とを遮っているため、電線ｗ１がレバー２２に引っ掛って回動操作が行いにくくなったり、レバー２２に電線ｗ１が干渉して仮係止位置から外れ、相手方コネクタ３０との嵌合の際にレバー２２を仮係止位置に戻さなければならなくなる問題もなく、レバー式コネクタ２０と相手方コネクタ３０との嵌合の作業性が低下することがない。 With the above configuration, the finger insertion recess 15 is provided in the central portion of the lever mounting portion 14 on which the central coupling portion 22a of the lever 22 of the lever connector 20 is mounted. At this time, the finger can be easily put on the lever 22 by putting the finger in the finger insertion recess 15 and the turning operation can be facilitated.
Further, the finger insertion recess 15 is not provided to the lower end of the wall surrounding the housing portion 11, leaving a wall below the finger insertion recess 15, and connecting the electric wire w 1 and the lever 22 connected to the lever connector 20 by the wall. Since it is obstructed, the electric wire w1 is caught on the lever 22 so that it is difficult to perform the rotation operation, or the electric wire w1 interferes with the lever 22 and comes off from the temporary locking position. There is no problem that 22 has to be returned to the temporary locking position, and the workability of fitting between the lever-type connector 20 and the mating connector 30 does not deteriorate.

さらに、本実施形態のコネクタホルダー１０では、収容部１１Ａ、１１Ｃに収容しているレバー式コネクタ２０の仮係止位置のレバー２２の近傍に収容部１１Ｂに収容した他のレバー式コネクタ２０と相手方コネクタ３０が配置されているが、前記のように指入れ用凹部１４Ａ、１４Ｃを設けているため、前記レバー２２と他のレバー式コネクタ２０との間隔を小さくできコネクタホルダー１０を小型化できる。   Further, in the connector holder 10 of the present embodiment, the other lever-type connector 20 accommodated in the accommodating portion 11B and the other party in the vicinity of the lever 22 at the temporary locking position of the lever-type connector 20 accommodated in the accommodating portions 11A and 11C. Although the connector 30 is disposed, since the finger insertion recesses 14A and 14C are provided as described above, the distance between the lever 22 and the other lever-type connector 20 can be reduced, and the connector holder 10 can be reduced in size.

図８は、本発明の第２実施形態を示し、コネクタホルダー１０’の指入れ用凹部１５’を挟む両側位置に、レバー載置部１４’に載置するレバー２２の外周面側にレバー２２よりも突出する保護壁１８を突設している。該保護壁１８は、コネクタホルダー１０’の外周位置にあるレバー載置部１４Ｂ’にのみ設けており、コネクタ収容部１１Ｂ’と対向する位置、即ち、コネクタホルダー１０’の外周以外の位置にあるレバー載置部１４Ａ’、１４Ｃ’には保護壁１８を設けていない。   FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the lever 22 is provided on the outer peripheral surface side of the lever 22 placed on the lever placing portion 14 ′ on both sides of the connector holder 10 ′ across the finger insertion recess 15 ′. A protective wall 18 that protrudes further is provided. The protective wall 18 is provided only on the lever mounting portion 14B ′ at the outer peripheral position of the connector holder 10 ′, and is located at a position facing the connector housing portion 11B ′, that is, at a position other than the outer periphery of the connector holder 10 ′. The lever mounting portions 14A ′ and 14C ′ are not provided with the protective wall 18.

前記構成によれば、保護壁１８でレバー２２の外面を囲っているため、上方以外からレバー２２に外部干渉材が干渉するのを防止でき、レバー２２が仮係止状態から外れるのを確実に防止することができる。
なお、他の構成及び作用効果は第１実施形態と同様のため、同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。 According to the above configuration, since the outer surface of the lever 22 is surrounded by the protective wall 18, it is possible to prevent the external interference material from interfering with the lever 22 from other than above, and to ensure that the lever 22 is released from the temporarily locked state. Can be prevented.
In addition, since another structure and effect are the same as that of 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.
