Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correct such a situation that connector housings are fitted mutually in an inclined attitude. <P>SOLUTION: In a lever type connector, a lever 6 is rotatably mounted on a side surface of a female connector housing 8. A cam follower 3 guided along a cam groove 11 of the lever 6 protrudes in an inner surface of a hood 2 of a male connector housing. An idle region for not advancing the fitting of mutual connector housings is provided continuously in a dead end of the cam groove 11. When the lever 6 is operated to be rotated and thereby both connector housings are brought in a fitted state, the female connector housing 8 may be brought in an inclined attitude where an operation part 6B side of the lever 6 is fitted more deeply. However, while the cam follower 3 is displaced in the idle region, an attitude correcting part 12 provided on an opposite side of the operation part 6B is caught in a receiving part 4, so that a slightly floated side of the female connector housing 8 is forcibly pushed. Accordingly, the connector housings are corrected into a regular fitted attitude. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、レバー式コネクタに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a lever type connector.

従来より、雌雄のコネクタハウジング同士を嵌合させる際の操作力を低める手段として、レバーを用いた倍力機構を設定する方式が採用されている。しかし、ハウジングに収容される端子の本数が増えて、コネクタハウジングの幅寸法が長尺化すると、コネクタハウジングの嵌合時に傾斜姿勢となりがちである。すると、コネクタハウジングの嵌合が円滑になされなくなってしまうことから、その対策を講じたものとして、下記特許文献１が知られている。     2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a method of setting a booster mechanism using a lever has been adopted as means for reducing an operation force when fitting male and female connector housings. However, when the number of terminals accommodated in the housing increases and the width of the connector housing becomes longer, the connector tends to be inclined when the connector housing is fitted. Then, since the connector housing cannot be smoothly fitted, Patent Document 1 shown below is known as a countermeasure.

特開平８−３７０５７号公報JP-A-8-37057

上記公報のものは、一方のコネクタハウジングにおいて幅方向に並列して一対のレバーを配し、それぞれ他方側のコネクタハウジングに設けられたカムピンが進入するカム溝を備えている。また、両レバーは相互に噛み合うギヤが形成されていて、レバーの回動が同期するようにしてある。このことによって、カムピンに対する引き込み動作が同期してなされることから、両コネクタハウジングは傾くことなく真っ直ぐに嵌合することができる。   In the above publication, a pair of levers are arranged in parallel in the width direction in one connector housing, and each has a cam groove into which a cam pin provided in the other connector housing enters. The levers are formed with gears that mesh with each other so that the rotation of the levers is synchronized. As a result, the pull-in operation with respect to the cam pins is performed in synchronization, so that both connector housings can be fitted straight without tilting.

しかし、レバーを複数個備えていることから、部品点数が増えてコストアップとなる、という問題があった。   However, since a plurality of levers are provided, there is a problem that the number of parts increases and the cost increases.

本発明は上記のような事情に基づいて完成されたものであって、コストアップを招くことなく嵌合姿勢の矯正を図ることができるレバー式コネクタを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been completed based on the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a lever-type connector capable of correcting the fitting posture without causing an increase in cost.

＜請求項１の発明＞
上記の目的を達成するための手段として、請求項１の発明は、相互に嵌合可能な雌雄コネクタハウジングのうちの一方のコネクタハウジングには単一のレバーが支持部を中心として回動可能に装着され、同レバーと前記他方のコネクタハウジングとに設けられ前記レバーの回動に伴って相互に係合し合うことにより前記両コネクタハウジングの嵌合を助勢する倍力機構を備えたコネクタであって、前記レバーには、同レバーを回動操作するための操作部と、前記他方のコネクタハウジングにおいて前記操作部が前記両コネクタハウジングを嵌合させる方向に操作されたときに、前記操作部が接近する側と反対側の端部に設けられた受け部に引っ掛かる姿勢矯正部とが設けられているところに特徴を有する。 <Invention of Claim 1>
As a means for achieving the above object, the invention of claim 1 is characterized in that a single lever is pivotable around a support portion in one of the male and female connector housings that can be fitted to each other. A connector provided with a booster mechanism that is mounted on the lever and the other connector housing and assists the fitting of the two connector housings by engaging with each other as the lever rotates. The lever includes an operation portion for rotating the lever, and the operation portion when the operation portion is operated in a direction in which the two connector housings are fitted in the other connector housing. It is characterized in that a posture correcting unit that is caught by a receiving unit provided at an end on the side opposite to the approaching side is provided.

＜請求項２の発明＞
請求項２の発明は、請求項１に記載のものにおいて、前記倍力機構は、前記レバーに形成されたカム溝と前記他方のコネクタハウジングに設けられ前記カム溝に沿って変位可能なカムフォロアであり、前記カム溝の終端部には、前記支持部から等距離をなす円弧状の遊び領域が形成される一方、前記姿勢矯正部は前記カムフォロアが前記円弧部を変位する間に前記受け部と引っ掛かるところに特徴を有する。 <Invention of Claim 2>
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the booster mechanism is a cam follower provided in the cam groove formed in the lever and the other connector housing and displaceable along the cam groove. An arcuate play area that is equidistant from the support portion is formed at a terminal portion of the cam groove, while the posture correcting portion is connected to the receiving portion while the cam follower displaces the arc portion. It has a feature where it gets caught.

請求項１の発明によれば、レバーを嵌合方向へ回動させると、倍力機構の作用によって、両コネクタハウジングの嵌合が進行する。このとき、他方側のコネクタハウジングに対する一方側のコネクタハウジングの嵌合の深さが両端部において差を生じることがある。すなわち、レバーを嵌合方向へ回動操作すると、操作部に加えられた操作力により一方のコネクタハウジングにおいて操作部が接近する側に位置する端部が、反対側の端部に先行して他方側コネクタハウジングに入り込むことがあり、その結果嵌合姿勢が傾斜してしまうことがありうる。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the lever is rotated in the fitting direction, the fitting of the two connector housings proceeds by the action of the booster mechanism. At this time, the fitting depth of the connector housing on one side with respect to the connector housing on the other side may cause a difference at both ends. That is, when the lever is rotated in the fitting direction, the end located on the side where the operating portion approaches in one connector housing by the operating force applied to the operating portion precedes the other end on the other side. It may enter the side connector housing, and as a result, the fitting posture may be inclined.

請求項２の発明によれば、レバーの回動操作されてカムフォロアがカム溝における遊び領域の入口に至ると、両コネクタハウジングの嵌合が終了する。その状態でさらにレバーが回動操作されると、カムフォロアは遊び領域を進行するため、それ以上に嵌合が進むことはない。したがって、万一、傾斜姿勢のまま嵌合完了状態となっていたとしても、その後に姿勢矯正部が他方のコネクタハウジングに引っ掛かって他方のコネクタハウジングに対する姿勢矯正がなされる。このように、請求項２の発明のように、姿勢矯正が両コネクタハウジングの嵌合完了後になされるようにすれば、姿勢の矯正動作が円滑である。また、通常のレバーの構成をそのまま利用した上で、姿勢矯正のための構成を追加すればよいため、レバーの基本構造をそのまま活用できる分、設計が容易となる。   According to the invention of claim 2, when the lever is turned and the cam follower reaches the entrance of the play area in the cam groove, the fitting of the two connector housings is completed. When the lever is further rotated in this state, the cam follower advances in the play area, so that the fitting does not proceed further. Therefore, even if it is in the fitting completed state with the inclined posture, the posture correcting portion is subsequently hooked on the other connector housing and the posture correction with respect to the other connector housing is performed. Thus, as in the second aspect of the invention, if the posture correction is performed after completion of the fitting of the two connector housings, the posture correction operation is smooth. In addition, since the configuration for correcting the posture may be added while using the configuration of the normal lever as it is, the design becomes easy because the basic structure of the lever can be used as it is.

＜実施形態１＞
本発明の実施形態１を図１ないし図５によって説明する。図１において、１は雄コネクタハウジングであり、合成樹脂材によって一体に形成されている。雄コネクタハウジング１は角筒状に形成されたフード部２を有しており、図示では上方へ開口するようにして形成されている。フード部２の底壁面からは複数のタブ状端子（図示しない）が上向きに突出している。フード部２の側面部は、それぞれ一対ずつ備えられた長辺側壁面２Ａと短辺側壁面２Ｂとによって構成されている。両長辺側壁面２Ａにおける内面側には、ピン軸形状をなすカムフォロア３が対をなして突出形成されている。両カムフォロア３はフード部２の幅方向に関する中心軸線上に位置し、かつ途中の高さ位置に配されている。また、両長辺側壁面２Ａにおいてカムフォロア３に対し幅方向の一方側（図１等においては左側）へ偏位し、かつ高さ方向に関してはカムフォロア３より高い位置には、一対の受け部４が内方へ向けて突出形成されている。 <Embodiment 1>
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a male connector housing, which is integrally formed of a synthetic resin material. The male connector housing 1 has a hood portion 2 formed in a rectangular tube shape, and is formed so as to open upward in the drawing. A plurality of tab-like terminals (not shown) protrude upward from the bottom wall surface of the hood portion 2. The side surface portion of the hood portion 2 is constituted by a long side wall surface 2A and a short side wall surface 2B provided in pairs. A cam follower 3 having a pin shaft shape is formed in a protruding manner on the inner surface side of both long side wall surfaces 2A. Both cam followers 3 are located on the central axis in the width direction of the hood portion 2 and are disposed at a height position in the middle. Further, the pair of receiving portions 4 are located at positions higher than the cam follower 3 with respect to the cam follower 3 with respect to the cam follower 3 on both long side wall surfaces 2A. Projecting inward.

一方、フード部２の一方（図１では右方）の短辺側壁面２Ｂの上端縁の中央部にはロック爪５が内向きに突出形成されており、後述するレバー６が嵌合完了位置にまで回動操作されたときに、レバー６に設けられたロック部７と係止可能である。   On the other hand, a lock claw 5 protrudes inwardly at the center of the upper edge of the short side wall surface 2B of one of the hood parts 2 (right side in FIG. 1), and a lever 6 described later is in a fitting completion position. Can be engaged with the lock portion 7 provided on the lever 6.

雌コネクタハウジング８も合成樹脂材によって一体に形成され、フード部２に対して嵌合可能に形成されている。雌コネクタハウジング８には複数のキャビティが形成され、それぞれの内部には雌端子金具（共に図示しない）が収容されている。雌雄コネクタハウジング１，８が正規深さまで嵌合されると、雌端子金具は対応するタブ状端子と電気的に導通した状態で接続がなされる。雌コネクタハウジング８における両長辺側の外面には一対の支持ピン９（支持部）が突出形成され、両支持ピン９によってレバー６が抜け止めされた状態で回動可能に装着されている。両支持ピン９は、雌コネクタハウジング８の幅方向に関する中心軸線上に配置されている。   The female connector housing 8 is also integrally formed of a synthetic resin material and is formed so as to be fitted to the hood portion 2. A plurality of cavities are formed in the female connector housing 8, and female terminal fittings (both not shown) are accommodated in the respective cavities. When the male and female connector housings 1 and 8 are fitted to the normal depth, the female terminal fitting is connected in a state of being electrically connected to the corresponding tab-like terminal. A pair of support pins 9 (support portions) project from the outer surfaces of both long sides of the female connector housing 8, and are mounted rotatably in a state where the lever 6 is prevented from coming off by the both support pins 9. Both support pins 9 are disposed on the central axis in the width direction of the female connector housing 8.

レバー６は、雌コネクタハウジング８の両長辺側の外面にほぼ密着して対向する一対の側板６Ａを有する。両側板６Ａは雌コネクタハウジング８における嵌合面とは反対側の外方へ向けて突出し、その突出端部同士は操作部６Ｂによって連結されている。操作部６Ｂには撓み可能なロック部７が設けられている。   The lever 6 has a pair of side plates 6A that are in close contact with and opposed to the outer surfaces of the female connector housing 8 on both long sides. Both side plates 6A protrude outwardly from the female connector housing 8 on the side opposite to the fitting surface, and the protruding ends are connected by an operation portion 6B. The operation portion 6B is provided with a lock portion 7 that can be bent.

両側板６Ａには支持ピン９を挿通させる差込み孔が貫通している。支持ピン９は、雌コネクタハウジング８における両長辺側の外面の幅方向中央部に配されている。両側板６Ａにはカム溝１１が板厚方向に貫通して形成され、その長さ方向の一端は側板６Ａの外周縁に開口している。カム溝１１は入口側からその終端近くに至るまでの間（この間の領域を作動領域という。図１に示すＡの領域）、徐々に支持ピン９に接近するように形成されている。このカム溝１１は、カムフォロア３をカム溝１１に沿って案内することで、雌雄両コネクタハウジングを完全嵌合状態に至らしめることができる。カム溝１１における上記作動領域Ａより終端に至るまでの間は、レバー６を回動操作しても雌雄コネクタハウジング１，８の嵌合を進行させない遊び領域（図１に示すＢ領域）となっている。遊び領域Ｂは作動領域Ａの終端部から延長して形成され、支持ピン９の中心からの距離が等しい円弧状に形成されている。なお、カムフォロア３をカム溝１１の入口に嵌め込んだだけの図２の状態のときには、雌雄の端子金具同士がまだ接触を開始していない状態にしてある。   The insertion holes through which the support pins 9 are inserted pass through the both side plates 6A. The support pin 9 is disposed at the center in the width direction of the outer surface of the female connector housing 8 on both long sides. Cam grooves 11 are formed in both side plates 6A so as to penetrate in the plate thickness direction, and one end in the length direction is open to the outer peripheral edge of the side plate 6A. The cam groove 11 is formed so as to gradually approach the support pin 9 from the inlet side to the vicinity of the end thereof (the region between these is called the operation region, region A shown in FIG. 1). The cam groove 11 can guide the cam follower 3 along the cam groove 11 to bring the male and female connector housings into a completely fitted state. In the cam groove 11, the play area (B area shown in FIG. 1) in which the fitting of the male and female connector housings 1 and 8 does not proceed even when the lever 6 is rotated is performed from the operation area A to the end. ing. The play area B is formed to extend from the end portion of the operation area A, and is formed in an arc shape having the same distance from the center of the support pin 9. Note that when the cam follower 3 is merely fitted into the inlet of the cam groove 11, the male and female terminal fittings are not yet in contact with each other.

両側板６Ａにおいて支持ピン９を挟んで前記操作部６Ｂが設けられているのと反対側には、姿勢矯正部１２が外方へ向けて突出形成されている。この実施形態では、カム溝１１の内周縁側に隣接した位置に設けられている。そして、カムフォロア３がカム溝１１の作動領域の終端部に至った時点、つまり雌雄コネクタハウジング１，８の嵌合が完了した時点（カムフォロア３が遊び領域Ｂの直前位置にあるとき）で姿勢矯正部１２が雄コネクタハウジング１側の受け部４に引っ掛かるようにしてある。   On the opposite side of the side plate 6A where the operation portion 6B is provided with the support pin 9 interposed therebetween, a posture correcting portion 12 is formed to project outward. In this embodiment, the cam groove 11 is provided at a position adjacent to the inner peripheral edge side. At the time when the cam follower 3 reaches the end of the operating region of the cam groove 11, that is, when the fitting of the male and female connector housings 1 and 8 is completed (when the cam follower 3 is immediately before the play region B), the posture is corrected. The portion 12 is hooked on the receiving portion 4 on the male connector housing 1 side.

次に、上記のように構成された本実施形態の作用効果を具体的に説明する。雌雄のコネクタハウジングの嵌合を行う場合には、レバー６を所定の角度姿勢に保持しつつ、雌雄のコネクタハウジングを緩く嵌合させ、カムフォロア３をカム溝１１の入口に進入させる（図２状態）。この状態で、操作部６Ｂを操作してレバー６を図示時計回りに回動させる。これに伴い、カムフォロア３がカム溝１１に沿って変位するため、雌コネクタハウジング８は雄コネクタハウジングのフード部２内に徐々に嵌り込んでゆく。カムフォロア３がカム溝１１の作動領域の終端に至ると、雌雄コネクタハウジング１，８は嵌合が完了し、図示しない雌雄の端子金具同士は正規の接続状態となる。   Next, the effect of this embodiment comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated concretely. When the male and female connector housings are fitted, the male and female connector housings are loosely fitted while the lever 6 is held at a predetermined angle, and the cam follower 3 enters the inlet of the cam groove 11 (state in FIG. 2). ). In this state, the operation unit 6B is operated to rotate the lever 6 clockwise in the figure. Accordingly, since the cam follower 3 is displaced along the cam groove 11, the female connector housing 8 is gradually fitted into the hood portion 2 of the male connector housing. When the cam follower 3 reaches the end of the operation region of the cam groove 11, the male and female connector housings 1 and 8 are completely fitted, and the male and female terminal fittings (not shown) are in a normal connection state.

ところで、雌雄コネクタハウジング１，８の嵌合のために操作部６Ｂに押圧力を加えると、雌コネクタハウジング８はカムフォロア３を支点として、支持ピン９に嵌合力が作用する。支持ピン９は雌雄コネクタハウジング１，８の嵌合の際、幅方向の中心線上に位置する設定ではあるが、嵌め合いのために設定されたコネクタハウジング１，８間のクリアランス等が原因で、雌コネクタハウジング８は操作部６Ｂが接近する側の端部が反対側の端部に先行してフード部２内に嵌り込むことがある。その場合には、カムフォロア３がカム溝１１の作動領域の終端に至って雌雄コネクタハウジング１，８の嵌合が完了しても、雌コネクタハウジング８は先行して嵌った側の端部の奥部がフード部２の底面に突き当たり、反対側の端部はフード部２の底面から浮いた状態となっていることが起こり得る。つまり、嵌合が完了していても、なお傾斜姿勢となっていることがありうる（図３状態）。   By the way, when a pressing force is applied to the operation portion 6B for fitting the male and female connector housings 1 and 8, the female connector housing 8 acts on the support pins 9 with the cam follower 3 as a fulcrum. The support pin 9 is set on the center line in the width direction when the male and female connector housings 1 and 8 are fitted, but due to the clearance between the connector housings 1 and 8 set for fitting, The female connector housing 8 may be fitted into the hood portion 2 with the end portion on the side where the operation portion 6B approaches approaching the end portion on the opposite side. In that case, even if the cam follower 3 reaches the end of the operation region of the cam groove 11 and the fitting of the male and female connector housings 1 and 8 is completed, the female connector housing 8 is the back of the end portion on the side where the female connector housing 8 is fitted in advance. May hit the bottom surface of the hood portion 2 and the opposite end may be lifted from the bottom surface of the hood portion 2. That is, even if the fitting is completed, it may still be in an inclined posture (state in FIG. 3).

前述したように、カムフォロア３がカム溝１１の作動領域の終端に至ると、姿勢矯正部１２が受け部４に引っ掛かった状態となる。この状態で、レバー６をさらに図示時計周りに回動させると、カムフォロア３は遊び領域Ｂに沿って変位する。遊び領域Ｂは支持ピン９の中心から等距離にあるため、カムフォロア３がここを変位する過程では雌雄コネクタハウジング１，８の嵌合が進むことはない。一方、姿勢矯正部１２が受け部４に内側から引っ掛かった状態でレバー６が回動するときには、この引っ掛かり箇所を支点として支持ピン９に押し下げ力が作用する。これにより、雌コネクタハウジング８全体は、操作部６Ｂ側の端部とフード部２の底面との突き当て箇所を中心に図示半時計周りに回動する結果、雌雄コネクタハウジング１，８は正規の姿勢に矯正されて嵌合がなされる。また、レバー６の回動によってロック部７がロック爪５に対して弾性的に係止するため、レバー６が戻り止めされる。   As described above, when the cam follower 3 reaches the end of the operation region of the cam groove 11, the posture correcting unit 12 is caught by the receiving unit 4. In this state, when the lever 6 is further rotated clockwise in the figure, the cam follower 3 is displaced along the play area B. Since the play area B is equidistant from the center of the support pin 9, the fitting of the male and female connector housings 1 and 8 does not proceed in the process in which the cam follower 3 is displaced. On the other hand, when the lever 6 rotates in a state where the posture correction unit 12 is hooked on the receiving unit 4 from the inside, a pressing force acts on the support pin 9 with the hooked portion as a fulcrum. As a result, the entire female connector housing 8 rotates counterclockwise in the figure around the abutting portion between the end portion on the operation portion 6B side and the bottom surface of the hood portion 2. As a result, the male and female connector housings 1 and 8 are The posture is corrected and mating is performed. Further, since the lock portion 7 is elastically locked to the lock claw 5 by the rotation of the lever 6, the lever 6 is prevented from returning.

以上のようにして、雌雄コネクタハウジング１，８が傾斜姿勢で嵌合しても、姿勢矯正部１２と受け部４との引っ掛かりによって、雌コネクタハウジング８は正規姿勢に矯正される。したがって、雌雄の端子金具同士が正規の接続状態に矯正されるため、接続部位に不正な方向の応力が生じることを回避することができる。傾斜して嵌合する傾向はコネクタが多極化する程顕著になるため、本実施形態は多極コネクタにとってとりわけ有意義である。また、姿勢矯正は単一のレバー６に対する操作によって行われるため、従来のように一対のレバー６による形式に比べて姿勢矯正のための構造が簡単である。   As described above, even if the male and female connector housings 1 and 8 are fitted in an inclined posture, the female connector housing 8 is corrected to a normal posture by the catch between the posture correcting portion 12 and the receiving portion 4. Therefore, since the male and female terminal fittings are corrected to a regular connection state, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of stress in an incorrect direction at the connection site. This tendency is particularly significant for a multi-pole connector because the tendency to incline and fit becomes more prominent as the connector becomes multi-pole. Moreover, since posture correction is performed by operation with respect to the single lever 6, the structure for posture correction is simple compared with the type | formula by a pair of lever 6 like the past.

＜実施形態２＞
図６は実施形態２を示している。実施形態１では、レバー６において姿勢矯正部１２が操作部６Ｂと反対側に配置されていたが、本実施形態では同じ側に配置した形態としている。このため、レバー１３は側面視において全体が略Ｌ字形状をなしている。 <Embodiment 2>
FIG. 6 shows the second embodiment. In the first embodiment, the posture correcting unit 12 is arranged on the lever 6 on the side opposite to the operation unit 6B. In the present embodiment, the posture correcting unit 12 is arranged on the same side. For this reason, the lever 13 is substantially L-shaped as a whole in a side view.

実施形態２のレバー１３は、雌雄コネクタハウジング１，８の嵌合を行う際の操作方向が実施形態１とは逆に図示反時計周り方向である。したがって、雌コネクタハウジング８において、レバー１３を嵌合方向に回動したときに、操作部１４が接近する側の端部と反対側の端部は、図６において右側の端部であり、レバー１３はこの側に姿勢矯正部１５が形成されている。これに伴い、受け部１６は雄コネクタハウジング１におけるフード部２の図示右端開口縁に形成されている。また、レバーの回動方向が実施形態１と逆であるから、支持ピン９回りのカム溝１１の配置も実施形態１とは対称的である。   In the lever 13 of the second embodiment, the operation direction when the male and female connector housings 1 and 8 are fitted is the counterclockwise direction shown in the drawing, contrary to the first embodiment. Therefore, in the female connector housing 8, when the lever 13 is rotated in the fitting direction, the end opposite to the end close to the operation portion 14 is the right end in FIG. 13 has a posture correcting portion 15 formed on this side. Accordingly, the receiving portion 16 is formed at the opening edge of the right end of the hood portion 2 in the male connector housing 1. Further, since the lever rotating direction is opposite to that of the first embodiment, the arrangement of the cam groove 11 around the support pin 9 is also symmetric with the first embodiment.

他の構成は実施形態１と同様であり、図面中に同一符号を付すことによって説明は省略する。また、実施形態２においても実施形態１と同様の作用効果を発揮することができる。   Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted by giving the same reference numerals in the drawings. In the second embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be exhibited.
