Description

本発明は、導体を有する電線への端子の接続構造及び端子の接続方法に関し、更に詳しくは、繊維導体を有する電線への端子の接続構造及び端子の接続方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a terminal connection structure to a wire having a conductor and a terminal connection method, and more particularly to a terminal connection structure to a wire having a fiber conductor and a terminal connection method.

一般に、圧着端子は、バレルに電線の導体を配置させ、バレルを加締めることで導体に圧着接続される。   Generally, a crimp terminal is crimped to a conductor by arranging a conductor of an electric wire in a barrel and crimping the barrel.

このような電線と端子との接続の仕方として、予め複数本のエナメル被覆導線を圧着接続子に挿入した後、機械的加圧手段によって、圧着接続子に仮加締めを加える仮加締め工程を含み、この仮加締めは、圧着接続子のその軸方向と直交する断面の両端又は一端の加圧による広がりを外力で抑えながら両端又は一端の断面積が小さくなるように圧着接続子を仮加締めすることが知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   As a method of connecting such an electric wire and a terminal, a temporary caulking step in which a plurality of enamel-coated conductors are inserted into the crimping connector in advance and then temporarily crimped to the crimping connector by mechanical pressurizing means. In this temporary crimping, the crimping connector is temporarily crimped so that the cross-sectional area of both ends or one end becomes small while suppressing the spread of both ends or one end of the crimping connector perpendicular to the axial direction by pressing with an external force. It is known to tighten (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

また、芯線バレルが、板面が芯線の軸方向に平行な略矩形状の底板と、この底板の両側から上方へ略垂直に連設された少なくとも２つの側板とを備え、２つの側板は底板の両側に芯線の軸方向に沿って千鳥状に配列されている圧着端子を用い、圧着時における端子のクラックを抑制することも知られている（例えば、特許文献２参照）。   The core wire barrel includes a substantially rectangular bottom plate whose plate surface is parallel to the axial direction of the core wire, and at least two side plates that are connected substantially vertically upward from both sides of the bottom plate. It is also known to use a crimp terminal arranged in a zigzag pattern along the axial direction of the core wire on both sides of the wire to suppress cracking of the terminal during crimping (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

一方で、自動車に用いる電線において、車載設備の増加や電子化に伴い車内の配線箇所が急増したことにより、燃費を向上させるべく車内電線の軽量化に対する要請が強く、しかも、限られた空間に配線することができる柔軟性を備えた電線が求められている。そのため、高導電率を有し、軽量性を兼ね備えた電線、ケーブルを得るため、例えば、炭素繊維等の導電性を有する繊維やアラミド繊維等の非導電性の繊維にめっき処理を施して導電性を付与した金属めっき繊維からなる繊維導体を備えた電線が用いられている。この繊維導体は、軽量化、引張強度及び屈曲性に優れるため、超極細電線（例えば、断面積が０．０５（ｓｑ）以下の電線）の導体として期待されている。   On the other hand, in the electric wires used in automobiles, the number of wiring points in the car has increased rapidly due to the increase in in-vehicle equipment and digitization. There is a need for an electric wire with flexibility that can be wired. Therefore, in order to obtain electric wires and cables that have high conductivity and have lightness, for example, a conductive treatment such as carbon fiber or a non-conductive fiber such as aramid fiber is subjected to plating treatment to make it conductive. The electric wire provided with the fiber conductor which consists of a metal plating fiber which provided the metal is used. Since this fiber conductor is excellent in weight reduction, tensile strength, and flexibility, it is expected as a conductor of a super fine wire (for example, a wire having a cross-sectional area of 0.05 (sq) or less).

ところが、この繊維導体は、高い引張強度を有するが、一本の素線となる繊維が極細であるため、耐せん断力が低いものである。   However, this fiber conductor has a high tensile strength, but has a low shear resistance because the fibers that form a single strand are extremely fine.

このため、上記のように圧着端子のバレルを導体に加締めて圧着すると、セレーションやバレルの先端で繊維導体に集中的に荷重が作用し、繊維導体が損傷して引張強度の低下を招くおそれがあった。また、外被を除いた繊維導体はバラバラに分離しやすく、端子に加締めた際に電線同士に間隙ができてしまうと導通性が低下してしまうおそれがあった。   For this reason, if the crimping terminal barrel is crimped to the conductor and crimped as described above, the load is concentrated on the fiber conductor at the serration or the tip of the barrel, and the fiber conductor may be damaged, leading to a decrease in tensile strength. was there. Further, the fiber conductor excluding the outer sheath is easily separated, and there is a possibility that the electrical conductivity may be lowered if a gap is formed between the electric wires when crimped on the terminal.

本発明は、上述した事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、繊維導体を用いた場合であっても高い引張強度及び屈曲性を維持させつつ導体に端子を接続することが可能な端子の接続構造及び端子の接続方法を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and the object thereof is to connect a terminal to a conductor while maintaining high tensile strength and flexibility even when a fiber conductor is used. To provide a terminal connection structure and a terminal connection method.

前記挟持部の前記挟持面は、前記素線と交差する縁部に面取り加工が施されていること。 In order to achieve the above-described object, the terminal connection structure according to the present invention is characterized by the following (1) to (4).

The clamping surface of the clamping part is chamfered at the edge that intersects the element wire.

上記（１）の構成の端子の接続構造では、挟持部がそれぞれ互いに略平行となるように圧着されるので、導体を構成する素線が略均等の厚さで挟持されて保持される。これにより、引張強度及び屈曲性に優れた端子の接続構造を提供することができる。
上記（２）の構成の端子の接続構造では、挟持面同士によって一部が挟持された導体の他部が折り返されて他の挟持面で挟持されているので、この折り返された導体も略均等に挟持して保持することができる。しかも、導体が折り返されて２箇所で挟持されているので、端子との接触面積が約２倍となり、導体と端子との接続箇所における引張強度及び電気性能を向上させることができる。

（第１実施形態）
まず、第１実施形態に係る端子の接続構造について説明する。 (First embodiment)
First, the terminal connection structure according to the first embodiment will be described.

図１は、第１実施形態に係る端子の接続構造を説明する電線と端子との接続箇所の斜視図、図２は、第１実施形態に係る端子の接続構造を説明する端子の固定部における断面図、図３は、接続前における電線の端部及び端子の斜視図である。   FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a connecting portion between an electric wire and a terminal for explaining the terminal connection structure according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a terminal fixing portion for explaining the terminal connection structure according to the first embodiment. Sectional drawing and FIG. 3 are the perspective views of the edge part and terminal of an electric wire before a connection.

図１及び図２に示したように、本実施形態に係る端子の接続構造では、繊維導体１１を有する電線１２に、端子２１が接続されている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the terminal connection structure according to this embodiment, a terminal 21 is connected to an electric wire 12 having a fiber conductor 11.

電線１２は、繊維導体１１の周囲を樹脂からなる外被１３で被覆したもので、繊維導体１１は、複数本の素線１４を撚り合わせて構成されている。   The electric wire 12 is obtained by coating the periphery of the fiber conductor 11 with a jacket 13 made of resin, and the fiber conductor 11 is formed by twisting a plurality of strands 14 together.

素線１４は、例えば、炭素繊維等の導電性を有する繊維やアラミド繊維等の非導電性の繊維に金属めっき処理を施して導電性を付与した金属めっき繊維からなる。繊維導体１１は、この金属めっき繊維からなる素線１４を撚り合わせた構成とすることで、軽量化、引張強度及び屈曲性に優れ、超極細電線の導体として用いることができる。   The strand 14 is made of, for example, a metal-plated fiber obtained by performing metal plating on a conductive fiber such as carbon fiber or a non-conductive fiber such as aramid fiber to impart conductivity. The fiber conductor 11 is excellent in weight reduction, tensile strength, and bendability by twisting the strands 14 made of the metal-plated fibers, and can be used as a conductor of an ultrafine wire.

電線１２に接続される端子２１は、例えば、純銅、黄銅あるいは銅金属などの金属材料から形成されたもので、図３に示したように、相手方の端子等に導通接続されるタブ部２２と、電線１２に固定される固定部２３Ａとを有している。   The terminal 21 connected to the electric wire 12 is made of a metal material such as pure copper, brass, or copper metal, for example, and as shown in FIG. And a fixing portion 23 </ b> A fixed to the electric wire 12.

固定部２３Ａは、平板状に形成された平板部（挟持部）２５と、この平板部２５の長手方向の一方の側部から該平板部２５に対して略垂直に設けられた挟持板部（挟持部）２６と、平板部２５の挟持板部２６と相対する側部から同じく該平板部２５に対して略垂直に設けられた押圧板部２７とで断面視略Ｕ字状に形成されている。   The fixing portion 23A includes a flat plate portion (clamping portion) 25 formed in a flat plate shape, and a clamping plate portion (provided substantially perpendicular to the flat plate portion 25 from one side portion in the longitudinal direction of the flat plate portion 25). The holding plate 26 is formed in a substantially U shape in sectional view with a pressing plate portion 27 provided substantially perpendicular to the flat plate portion 25 from a side portion of the flat plate portion 25 facing the holding plate portion 26. Yes.

電線１２を端子２１に接続する際に、図２に示したように、平板部２５の上面、すなわち挟持面２５ａと、挟持板部２６の内面、すなわち挟持面２６ａとで繊維導体１１を挟持して、繊維導体１１に端子２１が導通した状態に取り付ける。その際、挟持板部２６は、平板部２５に対して繊維導体１１を介して略平行となるように圧着される。   When the electric wire 12 is connected to the terminal 21, as shown in FIG. 2, the fiber conductor 11 is held between the upper surface of the flat plate portion 25, that is, the holding surface 25a, and the inner surface of the holding plate portion 26, that is, the holding surface 26a. The terminal 21 is attached to the fiber conductor 11 in a conductive state. At that time, the sandwiching plate portion 26 is pressure-bonded so as to be substantially parallel to the flat plate portion 25 via the fiber conductor 11.

繊維導体１１は、平板部２５と挟持板部２６との間で、これらの対向面である挟持面２５ａ，２６ａに沿って素線１４が幅方向へ略同じ厚みとなるように並列される。これにより、平板部２５と挟持板部２６とによる挟持力が、各素線１４に略均等に付与され、よって、繊維導体１１の素線１４が偏りなく挟持されて保持された状態で、電線１２に端子２１が接続される。   The fiber conductor 11 is juxtaposed between the flat plate portion 25 and the sandwiching plate portion 26 so that the strands 14 have substantially the same thickness in the width direction along the sandwiching surfaces 25a and 26a which are the opposing surfaces. As a result, the clamping force by the flat plate portion 25 and the clamping plate portion 26 is applied to each of the strands 14 substantially evenly, so that the wires 14 of the fiber conductor 11 are clamped and held without being biased. 12 is connected to a terminal 21.

また、押圧板部２７は、平板部２５に対して繊維導体１１及び挟持板部２６を介して略平行に屈曲される。これにより、挟持板部２６の外面、すなわち挟持面２６ａの反対側の面が押圧板部２７によって押さえられ、平板部２５及び挟持板部２６の繊維導体１１の挟持状態が良好な状態に維持される。   Further, the pressing plate portion 27 is bent substantially parallel to the flat plate portion 25 via the fiber conductor 11 and the sandwiching plate portion 26. Thereby, the outer surface of the clamping plate portion 26, that is, the surface opposite to the clamping surface 26a is pressed by the pressing plate portion 27, and the holding state of the fiber conductor 11 of the flat plate portion 25 and the clamping plate portion 26 is maintained in a good state. The

次に、電線１２に第１実施形態に係る端子２１を接続する接続方法について説明する。   Next, the connection method which connects the terminal 21 which concerns on 1st Embodiment to the electric wire 12 is demonstrated.

図４（ａ）に示すように、まず、端子２１の固定部２３Ａを、平面状に形成された下型３１の上面部３１ａに載置させ、この固定部２３Ａにおける平板部２５の上面である挟持面２５ａ上に電線１２の繊維導体１１を配置させる。   As shown in FIG. 4A, first, the fixing portion 23A of the terminal 21 is placed on the upper surface portion 31a of the lower mold 31 formed in a planar shape, and is the upper surface of the flat plate portion 25 in the fixing portion 23A. The fiber conductor 11 of the electric wire 12 is arranged on the clamping surface 25a.

この状態で、第１上型３２を下降させる。この第１上型３２は、平面部３２ａと、この平面部３２ａに連続する内側が円弧状に湾曲した曲面部３２ｂとを有し、曲面部３２ｂは、挟持板部２６側に配置されている。   In this state, the first upper mold 32 is lowered. The first upper mold 32 has a flat surface portion 32a and a curved surface portion 32b whose inner side that is continuous with the flat surface portion 32a is curved in an arc shape, and the curved surface portion 32b is disposed on the sandwiching plate portion 26 side. .

この第１上型３２を下降させると、第１上型３２の曲面部３２ｂが挟持板部２６の端部に接触し、これにより、挟持板部２６の端部が曲面部３２ｂに沿って変位し、平板部２５側へ徐々に押し倒される。挟持板部２６が第１上型３２の降下によって傾倒すると、平板部２５上の繊維導体１１を構成する素線１４が平板部２５上で次第に略同じ厚みに並列される。   When the first upper mold 32 is lowered, the curved surface portion 32b of the first upper mold 32 comes into contact with the end portion of the sandwiching plate portion 26, whereby the end portion of the sandwiching plate portion 26 is displaced along the curved surface portion 32b. Then, it is gradually pushed down to the flat plate portion 25 side.

これにより、繊維導体１１は、図１４に示したように、平板部２５の挟持面２５ａと挟持板部２６の挟持面２６ａで挟持されるとともに、挟持板部２６の挟持面２６ｂと押圧板部２７の挟持面２７ａとでも挟持されることとなり、端子２１との接触面積が約２倍となる。これにより、繊維導体１１と端子２１との接続箇所における引張強度及び電気性能が向上される。   Thereby, as shown in FIG. 14, the fiber conductor 11 is sandwiched between the sandwiching surface 25 a of the flat plate portion 25 and the sandwiching surface 26 a of the sandwiching plate portion 26, and the sandwiching surface 26 b of the sandwiching plate portion 26 and the pressing plate portion. 27, the contact area with the terminal 21 is approximately doubled. Thereby, the tensile strength and electrical performance in the connection location of the fiber conductor 11 and the terminal 21 are improved.

また、このように折り返して接続すれば、厚さ寸法が多少嵩張るものの、幅寸法を抑えることが可能となる。   In addition, when folded and connected in this manner, the width dimension can be suppressed although the thickness dimension is somewhat bulky.

しかも、押圧板部２７は、平板部２５に対して繊維導体１１及び挟持板部２６を介して略平行に屈曲される。これにより、挟持板部２６の挟持面２６ｂが素線１４を介して押圧板部２７によって押さえられ、平板部２５及び挟持板部２６の繊維導体１１の挟持状態が良好な状態に維持される。   Moreover, the pressing plate portion 27 is bent substantially parallel to the flat plate portion 25 via the fiber conductor 11 and the sandwiching plate portion 26. Thereby, the clamping surface 26b of the clamping plate part 26 is pressed by the pressing plate part 27 through the strand 14, and the clamping state of the fiber conductor 11 of the flat plate part 25 and the clamping plate part 26 is maintained in a favorable state.

また、挟持面２５ａ，２６ａ，２６ｂ，２７ａの素線１４と交差する縁部が面取り加工されているので、挟持板部２６及び押圧板部２７を圧着して挟持面２５ａ，２６ａ，２６ｂ，２７ａで素線１４を挟持した際の挟持面２５ａ，２６ａ，２６ｂ，２７ａの縁部における素線１４への挟持力の集中が抑えられる。これにより、素線１４へのダメージをなくし、繊維導体１１を断線などの不具合なく良好に挟持し、接続信頼性を高めることが可能となる。   In addition, since the edges of the clamping surfaces 25a, 26a, 26b, and 27a that intersect the strands 14 are chamfered, the clamping plate portions 26 and the pressing plate portion 27 are pressure-bonded to hold the clamping surfaces 25a, 26a, 26b, and 27a. Thus, the concentration of the clamping force on the strands 14 at the edges of the clamping surfaces 25a, 26a, 26b, 27a when the strands 14 are clamped can be suppressed. Thereby, damage to the strand 14 can be eliminated, the fiber conductor 11 can be clamped satisfactorily without problems such as disconnection, and connection reliability can be improved.

なお、挟持面２５ａ，２６ａ，２６ｂ，２７ａの素線１４と交差する縁部の面取り加工としては、図１８に示すように、Ｒ面取りを施すことにより、円弧面２９を形成しても良い。このように、挟持面２５ａ，２６ａ，２６ｂ，２７ａの素線１４と交差する縁部を円弧状に面取りした場合も、挟持板部２６及び押圧板部２７を圧着して挟持面２５ａ，２６ａ，２６ｂ，２７ａで素線１４を挟持した際の挟持面２５ａ，２６ａ，２６ｂ，２７ａの縁部における素線１４への挟持力の集中が抑えられる。これにより、素線１４へのダメージをなくし、繊維導体１１を断線などの不具合なく良好に挟持し、接続信頼性を高めることが可能となる。   In addition, as chamfering of the edge part which cross | intersects the strand 14 of clamping surface 25a, 26a, 26b, 27a, as shown in FIG. 18, you may form the circular arc surface 29 by giving R chamfering. As described above, even when the edges of the clamping surfaces 25a, 26a, 26b, and 27a intersecting the strands 14 are chamfered in an arc shape, the clamping plates 25a and 26a, Concentration of clamping force on the strands 14 at the edges of the clamping surfaces 25a, 26a, 26b, and 27a when the strands 14 are clamped by 26b and 27a can be suppressed. Thereby, damage to the strand 14 can be eliminated, the fiber conductor 11 can be clamped satisfactorily without problems such as disconnection, and connection reliability can be improved.

特に、素線１４の折り返し部分の内側に位置する挟持板部２６の挟持面２６ａ，２６ｂのタブ部２２側の縁部を連続する円弧状に形成するのが望ましい。このようにすると、電線１２に引張力が生じて繊維導体１１の折り返し部分が挟持板部２６に押し付けられたとしても、引張力による挟持板部２６への押し付け力の集中を防ぎ、繊維導体１１を構成する素線１４の破断が抑えられる。   In particular, it is desirable to form the edges on the tab portion 22 side of the clamping surfaces 26a and 26b of the clamping plate portion 26 located inside the folded portion of the wire 14 in a continuous arc shape. In this way, even if a tensile force is generated in the electric wire 12 and the folded portion of the fiber conductor 11 is pressed against the clamping plate portion 26, concentration of the pressing force on the clamping plate portion 26 due to the tensile force is prevented, and the fiber conductor 11 Can be prevented from breaking.

なお、Ｒ面取りを施すことにより形成する円弧面２９は、その円弧の半径を０．４５ｍｍ以上とするのが望ましく、円弧の半径を０．４５ｍｍ以上とすれば、電線１２の引張による繊維導体１１の素線１４の破断防止効果が高められる。   In addition, it is desirable that the arc surface 29 formed by performing the R chamfering has a radius of the arc of 0.45 mm or more. The effect of preventing breakage of the wire 14 is enhanced.

次に、電線１２に第２実施形態に係る端子２１を接続する接続方法について説明する。   Next, the connection method which connects the terminal 21 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment to the electric wire 12 is demonstrated.

図１９（ａ）に示すように、まず、端子２１の固定部２３Ｈを、平面状に形成された下型３１の上面部３１ａに載置させ、図２０（ａ）に示すように、固定部２３Ｈにおける平板部２５の上面である挟持面２５ａ上に電線１２の繊維導体１１の基端部を配置させる。なお、電線１２の端部では、繊維導体１１を長めに露出させておく。   As shown in FIG. 19A, first, the fixing portion 23H of the terminal 21 is placed on the upper surface portion 31a of the lower mold 31 formed in a planar shape, and as shown in FIG. The base end portion of the fiber conductor 11 of the electric wire 12 is disposed on the clamping surface 25a that is the upper surface of the flat plate portion 25 at 23H. It should be noted that the fiber conductor 11 is exposed longer at the end of the electric wire 12.

この状態で、第１上型３２を下降させる。この第１上型３２は、平面部３２ａと、この平面部３２ａに連続する内側が円弧状に湾曲した曲面部３２ｂとを有し、曲面部３２ｂは、挟持板部２６側に配置されている。   In this state, the first upper mold 32 is lowered. The first upper mold 32 has a flat surface portion 32a and a curved surface portion 32b whose inner side that is continuous with the flat surface portion 32a is curved in an arc shape, and the curved surface portion 32b is disposed on the sandwiching plate portion 26 side. .

この第１上型３２を下降させると、第１上型３２の曲面部３２ｂが挟持板部２６の端部に接触し、これにより、挟持板部２６の端部が曲面部３２ｂに沿って変位し、平板部２５側へ徐々に押し倒される。挟持板部２６が第１上型３２の降下によって傾倒すると、平板部２５上の繊維導体１１を構成する素線１４が平板部２５上で次第に略同じ厚みに並列される。   When the first upper mold 32 is lowered, the curved surface portion 32b of the first upper mold 32 comes into contact with the end portion of the sandwiching plate portion 26, whereby the end portion of the sandwiching plate portion 26 is displaced along the curved surface portion 32b. Then, it is gradually pushed down to the flat plate portion 25 side. When the sandwiching plate portion 26 is tilted by the lowering of the first upper mold 32, the strands 14 constituting the fiber conductor 11 on the flat plate portion 25 are gradually juxtaposed on the flat plate portion 25 with substantially the same thickness.

第１上型３２が完全に降下すると、図１９（ｂ）および図２０（ｂ）に示すように、挟持板部２６の全体が第１上型３２の平面部３２ａに接触し、この平面部３２ａによって平板部２５側へ押圧され、平板部２５と挟持板部２６とが略平行になる。これにより、平板部２５の挟持面２５ａ上で略同じ厚みに整列された繊維導体１１の素線１４が、挟持板部２６の挟持面２６ａによって平板部２５へ押し付けられ、平板部２５の挟持面２５ａと挟持板部２６の挟持面２６ａとで挟持される。   When the first upper mold 32 is completely lowered, as shown in FIGS. 19 (b) and 20 (b), the entire clamping plate portion 26 comes into contact with the flat portion 32a of the first upper mold 32, and this flat portion The flat plate portion 25 and the sandwiching plate portion 26 become substantially parallel by being pressed toward the flat plate portion 25 side by 32a. As a result, the strands 14 of the fiber conductors 11 aligned on the clamping surface 25a of the flat plate portion 25 are pressed to the flat plate portion 25 by the clamping surface 26a of the clamping plate portion 26, so that the clamping surface of the flat plate portion 25 is held. 25a and the clamping surface 26a of the clamping plate part 26 are clamped.

このとき、挟持面２５ａ，２６ａの素線１４と交差する縁部に面取り加工が施されているので、挟持板部２６を加締めて挟持面２５ａ，２６ａで素線１４を挟持した際の挟持面２５ａ，２６ａの縁部における素線１４への挟持力の集中が抑えられて素線１４の破断が防がれる。   At this time, since chamfering is performed on the edges of the clamping surfaces 25a and 26a intersecting with the strands 14, clamping is performed when the strands 14 are clamped by clamping the clamping plate portion 26 and clamped the strands 14 with the clamping surfaces 25a and 26a. Concentration of the clamping force on the strands 14 at the edges of the surfaces 25a and 26a is suppressed, so that the strands 14 are prevented from being broken.

次に、図１９（ｃ）及び図２０（ｃ）に示すように、繊維導体１１の先端側（固定部２３Ｈから突出した部分）を折り返して挟持板部２６の外面からなる挟持面２６ｂ上に配置させる。   Next, as shown in FIGS. 19 (c) and 20 (c), the tip end side (portion protruding from the fixing portion 23 </ b> H) of the fiber conductor 11 is folded back onto the holding surface 26 b that is the outer surface of the holding plate portion 26. Arrange.

この状態で、第２上型３３を下降させる。この第２上型３３は、平面部３３ａと、この平面部３３ａに連続する内側が円弧状に湾曲した曲面部３３ｂとを有し、曲面部３３ｂは、押圧板部２７側に配置されている。   In this state, the second upper mold 33 is lowered. The second upper mold 33 has a flat surface portion 33a and a curved surface portion 33b whose inner side that is continuous with the flat surface portion 33a is curved in an arc shape, and the curved surface portion 33b is disposed on the pressing plate portion 27 side. .

この第２上型３３を下降させると、第２上型３３の曲面部３３ｂが押圧板部２７の端部に接触し、これにより、押圧板部２７の端部が曲面部３３ｂに沿って変位し、平板部２５に重ね合わされた挟持板部２６側へ徐々に押し倒される。   When the second upper mold 33 is lowered, the curved surface portion 33b of the second upper mold 33 comes into contact with the end portion of the pressing plate portion 27, whereby the end portion of the pressing plate portion 27 is displaced along the curved surface portion 33b. Then, it is gradually pushed down to the side of the sandwiching plate portion 26 superimposed on the flat plate portion 25.

第２上型３３が完全に降下すると、図１９（ｄ）および図２０（ｄ）に示すように、押圧板部２７の全体が第２上型３３の平面部３３ａに接触し、この平面部３３ａによって挟持板部２６側へ押圧され、挟持板部２６と押圧板部２７とが略平行になる。これにより、挟持板部２６の挟持面２６ｂ上で略同じ厚みに整列された繊維導体１１の素線１４が、押圧板部２７の挟持面２７ａによって挟持板部２６へ押し付けられ、挟持板部２６の挟持面２６ｂと押圧板部２７の挟持面２７ａとで挟持される。   When the second upper die 33 is completely lowered, as shown in FIGS. 19D and 20D, the entire pressing plate portion 27 comes into contact with the flat portion 33a of the second upper die 33. 33a is pressed toward the clamping plate portion 26, and the clamping plate portion 26 and the pressing plate portion 27 become substantially parallel. As a result, the strands 14 of the fiber conductors 11 aligned on the sandwiching surface 26 b of the sandwiching plate portion 26 with substantially the same thickness are pressed against the sandwiching plate portion 26 by the sandwiching surface 27 a of the pressing plate portion 27. Are sandwiched between the sandwiching surface 26b of the press plate 27 and the sandwiching surface 27a of the pressing plate portion 27.

このとき、挟持面２６ｂ，２７ａの素線１４と交差する縁部に面取り加工が施されているので、押圧板部２７を加締めて挟持面２６ｂ，２７ａで素線１４を挟持した際の挟持面２６ｂ，２７ａの縁部における素線１４への挟持力の集中が抑えられて素線１４の破断が防がれる。   At this time, since chamfering is performed on the edges of the clamping surfaces 26b and 27a that intersect the strands 14, clamping is performed when the pressing plate 27 is crimped and the strands 14 are clamped by the clamping surfaces 26b and 27a. Concentration of the clamping force on the strands 14 at the edges of the surfaces 26b and 27a is suppressed, and the strands 14 are prevented from breaking.

また、挟持板部２６に押圧板部２７が重ね合わされることにより、挟持板部２６の平板部２５と対峙する面の反対側の挟持面２６ｂが押圧板部２７によって押さえられ、平板部２５と挟持板部２６との繊維導体１１の挟持状態が良好な状態に維持される。   Further, the pressing plate portion 27 is superimposed on the clamping plate portion 26, whereby the clamping surface 26 b on the opposite side of the surface facing the flat plate portion 25 of the clamping plate portion 26 is pressed by the pressing plate portion 27, and The clamping state of the fiber conductor 11 with the clamping plate part 26 is maintained in a good state.

このように、上記第２実施形態に係る端子の接続構造によれば、繊維導体１１を構成する素線１４の一部（基端部）が、平板部２５及び挟持板部２６のそれぞれの挟持面２５ａ，２６ａによって略同じ厚みに並列された状態で挟持されているので、各素線１４が略均等に挟持されて保持される。さらに、素線１４の他部（先端部）が折り返されて挟持板部２６の挟持面２６ｂと押圧板部２７の挟持面２７ａとで略同じ厚みに並列された状態で挟持されているので、この折り返された素線１４も略均等に挟持して保持することができる。   Thus, according to the terminal connection structure according to the second embodiment, a part (base end portion) of the strand 14 constituting the fiber conductor 11 is sandwiched between the flat plate portion 25 and the sandwiching plate portion 26. Since the surfaces 25a and 26a are sandwiched in a state of being arranged in parallel with substantially the same thickness, the strands 14 are sandwiched and held substantially evenly. Furthermore, since the other part (tip part) of the wire 14 is folded back and held between the clamping surface 26b of the clamping plate part 26 and the clamping surface 27a of the pressing plate part 27 in parallel with substantially the same thickness, The folded wire 14 can also be held and held substantially evenly.

しかも、素線１４が折り返されて２箇所で挟持されているので、端子２１との接触面積が約２倍となり、繊維導体１１と端子２１との接続箇所における引張強度及び電気性能を向上させることができる。   Moreover, since the element wire 14 is folded and held at two locations, the contact area with the terminal 21 is approximately doubled, and the tensile strength and electrical performance at the connection location between the fiber conductor 11 and the terminal 21 are improved. Can do.

また、挟持面２５ａ，２６ａ，２６ｂ，２７ａの素線１４と交差する縁部に面取り加工が施されているので、挟持板部２６及び押圧板部２７を加締めて挟持面２５ａ，２６ａ，２６ｂ，２７ａで素線１４を挟持した際の挟持面２５ａ，２６ａ，２６ｂ，２７ａの縁部における素線１４への挟持力の集中を抑えることができる。これにより、素線１４へのダメージをなくし、繊維導体１１を断線などの不具合なく良好に挟持し、接続信頼性を高めることができる。   Further, since the chamfering process is applied to the edges of the clamping surfaces 25a, 26a, 26b, and 27a that intersect the strands 14, the clamping plate portions 26 and the pressing plate portion 27 are crimped to sandwich the clamping surfaces 25a, 26a, and 26b. 27a, it is possible to suppress the concentration of the clamping force on the strands 14 at the edges of the clamping surfaces 25a, 26a, 26b, 27a when the strands 14 are clamped. Thereby, damage to the strand 14 can be eliminated, the fiber conductor 11 can be clamped satisfactorily without problems such as disconnection, and connection reliability can be improved.

これにより、軽量化、引張強度及び屈曲性に優れる反面、耐せん断力が低い繊維導体１１を損傷させて引張強度を低下させるようなことなく、確実に端子２１を接続して良好な機械的・電気的性能を得ることができる。   This makes it possible to connect the terminal 21 reliably without damaging the fiber conductor 11 having a low shear resistance and lowering the tensile strength, while being excellent in weight reduction, tensile strength and flexibility. Electrical performance can be obtained.
