Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wire connector capable of efficiently connecting both wires.SOLUTION: Even when multiple types of wire diameter of first wires 2A and 3A are different, it is set a state of a temporal pressure-welding by a temporal pressure-welding part 26 in a pre-stage of performing a cutting of the first wires 2A and 3A. In the temporal pressure-welding state, the cutting of the first wires 2A and 3A is not performed, and contact members 16 and 17 can be conducted. Therefore, an error in a system side can be prevented. On the other hand, when the first wires 2A and 3A is pressured and contacted, the first wires 2A and 3A are conducted with contact members 16 and 17 and are disconnected by first cutting members 18A and 19A by sandwiching with a press-contact part 27. Therefore, after the first wires 2A and 3A and second wires 2B and 3B are conducted, an extraction length of the first wires 2A and 3A can be cut by performing the press-contact.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 15

In addition, when temporarily fixing the wire so that it does not move, or when temporarily pressing, it is not easy to temporarily fix or temporarily press the wire from the small diameter to the large diameter with the same component. Therefore, there has been a demand for a wire connector that can efficiently connect wires regardless of the wire diameter.

本発明の一形態に係るワイヤ接続器は、所定の第１の方向へ延びる第１のワイヤを配置するための第１のワイヤ配置部、及び当該第１のワイヤ配置部に対して第１の方向と直交する第２の方向へ並設され、第１の方向へ延びる第２のワイヤを配置するための第２のワイヤ配置部を備えるベース部材と、第１のワイヤ配置部に対して取り付けられ、当該第１のワイヤ配置部に配置された第１のワイヤを第１の方向及び第２の方向と直交する第３の方向へ押圧可能な第１のキャップ部材と、第１のキャップ部材と独立して第２のワイヤ配置部に対して取り付けられ、第２のワイヤ配置部に配置された第２のワイヤを第３の方向へ押圧可能な第２のキャップ部材と、を備えるワイヤ接続器であって、ベース部材は、第１のワイヤ配置部に配置された第１のワイヤを挟持する第１の挟持部、及び第２のワイヤ配置部に配置された第２のワイヤを挟持する第２の挟持部を有すると共に、第１のワイヤと第２のワイヤとを導通させるコンタクト部材と、第１の挟持部に対して第１の方向に対向する位置に配置され、第１のワイヤを切断する第１の切断部材と、を備え、少なくとも第１の挟持部は、複数種類の第１のワイヤのワイヤ径に対応するように、第１のキャップ部材の第３の方向に沿って溝幅が複数段階で狭まる仮圧接部と、仮圧接部よりも第３の方向におけるベース部材側に形成される本圧接部と、を備え、第１の挟持部及び第１の切断部材の位置関係は、第１のワイヤの仮圧接時においては、第１のワイヤが仮圧接部で挟持されることでコンタクト部材と導通すると共に第１の切断部材で切断されず、第１のワイヤの本圧接時においては、第１のワイヤが本圧接部で挟持されることでコンタクト部材と導通すると共に第１の切断部材で切断される位置に設定されている。   A wire connector according to an aspect of the present invention includes a first wire placement portion for placing a first wire extending in a predetermined first direction, and a first wire placement portion with respect to the first wire placement portion. A base member including a second wire arrangement portion for arranging a second wire arranged in parallel in a second direction orthogonal to the direction and extending in the first direction, and attached to the first wire arrangement portion A first cap member capable of pressing the first wire arranged in the first wire arrangement portion in a first direction and a third direction orthogonal to the second direction, and the first cap member And a second cap member that is attached to the second wire placement portion independently of the second wire member and can press the second wire placed in the second wire placement portion in the third direction. A base member disposed on the first wire placement portion. A first sandwiching section that sandwiches one wire, and a second sandwiching section that sandwiches a second wire disposed in the second wire placement section, and includes the first wire and the second wire. A contact member that conducts, and a first cutting member that is disposed at a position facing the first holding portion in the first direction and cuts the first wire, wherein at least the first holding portion is A provisional pressure contact portion in which the groove width is narrowed in a plurality of stages along the third direction of the first cap member so as to correspond to the wire diameters of the plurality of types of first wires; A first press-contact portion formed on the base member side in the direction, and the positional relationship between the first clamping portion and the first cutting member is such that the first wire is temporarily in the temporary press-contact of the first wire.

Therefore, even when the wire diameters of the first wire are different among a plurality of types, the temporary pressure contact portion can be in a temporary pressure contact state before the first wire is cut. it can. In the temporary pressure contact state, the first wire is not cut, but the contact member can be electrically connected. On the other hand, at the time of the main press-contact of the first wire, the first wire is sandwiched by the main press-contact portion, thereby being electrically connected to the contact member and being cut by the first cutting member. Therefore, once the first wire and the second wire are made conductive, the extra length of the first wire can be cut by performing the main pressure contact. As described above, the wires can be efficiently connected regardless of the wire diameter.

In the state of pressure contact (the state of transition from the temporary pressure contact to the main pressure contact), the position is set at a position where it is locked to the upper surfaces of the conductive portions 22 and 24 of the contact members 16 and 17 that are part of the base member 4.

第１のキャップ部材６Ａは、ベース部材４との間で、仮圧接部２６における複数段階の溝幅に応じて嵌合位置が複数段階で設置されるラッチ構造４６，４７を構成している。具体的には、ラッチ構造４６は、第１のキャップ部材６Ａの嵌合部４１のＹ軸方向における外側（Ｙ軸方向正側）の縁部に形成される複数の溝部によって構成される。ラッチ構造４６の複数の溝部は、ベース部材４のキャップ保持部１１のＺ軸方向正側の端部から突出する係止部１１ａが、係止するように構成されている。ラッチ構造４７は、第１のキャップ部材６Ａの嵌合部４２のＹ軸方向における外側（Ｙ軸方向負側）の縁部に形成される複数の溝部によって構成される。ラッチ構造４７の複数の溝部は、ベース部材４のキャップ保持部１２のＺ軸方向正側の端部から突出する係止部１２ａが、係止するように構成されている。   Between the first cap member 6 </ b> A and the base member 4, latch structures 46 and 47 are provided in which fitting positions are installed in a plurality of stages in accordance with a plurality of stages of groove widths in the temporary pressure contact portion 26. Specifically, the latch structure 46 is configured by a plurality of grooves formed at the outer edge in the Y-axis direction (the Y-axis direction positive side) of the fitting portion 41 of the first cap member 6A. The plurality of groove portions of the latch structure 46 are configured such that the locking portions 11 a protruding from the end on the positive side in the Z-axis direction of the cap holding portion 11 of the base member 4 are locked. The latch structure 47 is configured by a plurality of grooves formed at the outer edge in the Y-axis direction (Y-axis direction negative side) of the fitting portion 42 of the first cap member 6A. The plurality of groove portions of the latch structure 47 are configured such that the locking portions 12 a protruding from the end on the Z axis direction positive side of the cap holding portion 12 of the base member 4 are locked.

図１４〜図１８を用いて、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａの状態とラッチ構造４６，４７と係止部１１ａ，１２ａの状態の関係について説明する。図１４（ａ）に示すように、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａを配置する状態では、第１のキャップ部材６Ａはベース部材４に対して開いた状態となり、第１のキャップ部材６Ａがワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａを押圧しない状態となる。このとき、第１のキャップ部材６Ａとベース部材４との間の隙間をＸ軸方向外側から内側（Ｘ軸方向負側から正側）へ向かってワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａを挿入することで、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａを第１のワイヤ配置部７Ａへ配置することができる。この状態では、図１４（ｂ）に示すように、係止部１１ａ，１２ａは、ラッチ構造４６，４７のうち、最もＺ軸方向負側の溝部に係止する。なお、図１４では、設定上、最もワイヤ径の小さいワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａが用いられているが、他のワイヤ径のものであっても同様の状態となる。   The relationship between the state of the wires 2A and 3A, the state of the latch structures 46 and 47, and the state of the locking portions 11a and 12a will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 14A, in a state where the wires 2A and 3A are arranged, the first cap member 6A is in an open state with respect to the base member 4, and the first cap member 6A connects the wires 2A and 3A. It will be in the state which does not press. At this time, the wires 2A and 3A are inserted into the gap between the first cap member 6A and the base member 4 from the outer side in the X-axis direction toward the inner side (from the negative side in the X-axis direction to the positive side). , 3A can be placed on the first wire placement portion 7A. In this state, as shown in FIG. 14 (b), the locking portions 11 a and 12 a are locked to the groove portion on the most negative side in the Z-axis direction among the latch structures 46 and 47. In FIG. 14, the wires 2A and 3A having the smallest wire diameter are used in the setting, but the same state is obtained even if the wires have other wire diameters.

図１５（ａ）に示すように、設定上、最もワイヤ径の大きいワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａを仮圧接する状態では、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａは第１のキャップ部材６ＡにＺ軸方向負側へ押圧された状態となり、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａが挟持部２１Ａ，２３Ａの第１の部分２６ａ（図１３参照）に仮圧接された状態となる。この状態では、図１５（ｂ）に示すように、係止部１１ａ，１２ａは、ラッチ構造４６，４７のうち、Ｚ軸方向負側から二番目の溝部に係止する。   As shown in FIG. 15A, in the setting, the wires 2A and 3A are pressed to the first cap member 6A to the negative side in the Z-axis direction in a state where the wires 2A and 3A having the largest wire diameter are temporarily pressed. Then, the wires 2A and 3A are temporarily pressed against the first portions 26a (see FIG. 13) of the sandwiching portions 21A and 23A. In this state, as shown in FIG. 15B, the locking portions 11 a and 12 a are locked to the second groove portion from the Z-axis direction negative side of the latch structures 46 and 47.

図１６（ａ）に示すように、設定上、二番目にワイヤ径の大きいワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａを仮圧接する状態では、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａは第１のキャップ部材６ＡにＺ軸方向負側へ押圧された状態となり、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａが挟持部２１Ａ，２３Ａの第２の部分２６ｂ（図１３参照）に仮圧接された状態となる。この状態では、図１６（ｂ）に示すように、係止部１１ａ，１２ａは、ラッチ構造４６，４７のうち、Ｚ軸方向負側から三番目の溝部に係止する。   As shown in FIG. 16A, in the state where the wires 2A and 3A having the second largest wire diameter are temporarily pressed in setting, the wires 2A and 3A are pressed against the first cap member 6A toward the negative side in the Z-axis direction. In this state, the wires 2A and 3A are temporarily pressed against the second portions 26b (see FIG. 13) of the sandwiching portions 21A and 23A. In this state, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), the locking portions 11 a and 12 a are locked to the third groove portion of the latch structures 46 and 47 from the negative side in the Z-axis direction.

図１７（ａ）に示すように、設定上、最もワイヤ径の小さいワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａを仮圧接する状態では、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａは第１のキャップ部材６ＡにＺ軸方向負側へ押圧された状態となり、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａが挟持部２１Ａ，２３Ａの第３の部分２６ｃ（図１３参照）に仮圧接された状態となる。この状態では、図１７（ｂ）に示すように、係止部１１ａ，１２ａは、ラッチ構造４６，４７のうち、Ｚ軸方向負側から四番目の溝部に係止する。また、この時、係止部４４，４５は導通部２２，２４の上面と係止する。なお、ワイヤ径の大きなワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａを採用した場合であっても、当該ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａが切断部材１８Ａ，１９Ａに完全に切断されて本圧接の状態へ移行する直前の状態においては、係止部４４，４５が導通部２２，２４の上面と係止する。係合部３４の一部は係合部１５ａの一部と係合することで、接続を安定させる機能をもっている。   As shown in FIG. 17A, in the state where the wires 2A and 3A having the smallest wire diameter are temporarily pressed in setting, the wires 2A and 3A are pressed against the first cap member 6A to the negative side in the Z-axis direction. In this state, the wires 2A and 3A are temporarily pressed against the third portions 26c (see FIG. 13) of the sandwiching portions 21A and 23A. In this state, as shown in FIG. 17B, the locking portions 11 a and 12 a are locked to the fourth groove portion from the Z-axis direction negative side of the latch structures 46 and 47. At this time, the locking portions 44 and 45 are locked with the upper surfaces of the conducting portions 22 and 24. Even when the wires 2A and 3A having a large wire diameter are employed, the wires 2A and 3A are completely cut by the cutting members 18A and 19A, and the state immediately before the transition to the main press contact state is concerned. The stop portions 44 and 45 are engaged with the upper surfaces of the conduction portions 22 and 24. A part of the engaging part 34 has a function of stabilizing the connection by engaging with a part of the engaging part 15a.

図１８（ａ）に示すように、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａを本圧接する状態では、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａは第１のキャップ部材６ＡにＺ軸方向負側へ押圧された状態となると共に、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａが本圧接部２７（図１３参照）に本圧接された状態となる。ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａは切断部材１８Ａ，１９Ａで切断される。この状態では、図１８（ｂ）に示すように、係止部１１ａ，１２ａは、ラッチ構造４６，４７のうち、最もＺ軸方向正側の溝部に係止する。また、この時、係止部４４，４５は導通部２２，２４の上面よりもＺ軸方向負側まで移動する。なお、ワイヤ径の大きさに関わらず、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａを本圧接した場合は、図１８に示す状態となる。なお、第２のキャップ部材６Ｂは、第１のキャップ部材６Ａと同様な構成を有しているため、図１４〜図１８と同趣旨の説明が成り立つ。   As shown in FIG. 18A, in the state in which the wires 2A and 3A are in the main pressure contact, the wires 2A and 3A are pressed to the negative side in the Z-axis direction by the first cap member 6A, and the wires 2A and 3A are pressed. 3A is in a state of being in main pressure contact with the main pressure contact portion 27 (see FIG. 13). The wires 2A and 3A are cut by cutting members 18A and 19A. In this state, as shown in FIG. 18 (b), the locking portions 11 a and 12 a are locked to the groove on the most positive side in the Z-axis direction among the latch structures 46 and 47. At this time, the locking portions 44 and 45 move to the Z axis direction negative side from the upper surfaces of the conducting portions 22 and 24. It should be noted that regardless of the wire diameter, when the wires 2A and 3A are press-contacted, the state shown in FIG. 18 is obtained. Note that the second cap member 6B has the same configuration as the first cap member 6A, and therefore the same meaning as in FIGS.

次に、図１９〜図２１を参照して、上述のように構成されたワイヤ接続器１を用いたワイヤの接続方法について説明する。ここでは、新設のワイヤ２Ｂ，３Ｂと既設のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａの割入れ作業を行う場合の作業を例にして説明を行う。まず、図１９（ａ）に示すように、新設のワイヤ２Ｂ，３Ｂをベース部材４の第２のワイヤ配置部７Ｂに配置する。次に、図１９（ｂ）に示すように、指（又はペンチ）で第２のキャップ部材６Ｂを押圧することで、ワイヤ２Ｂ，３Ｂを第２のワイヤ配置部７Ｂに設けられたコンタクト部材で仮圧接を行う。次に、図２０（ａ）に示すように、ペンチで第２のキャップ部材６Ｂを更に押圧することで、ワイヤ２Ｂ，３Ｂを本圧接して余長部を切断する。なお、新設のワイヤ２Ｂ，３Ｂについては仮圧接の工程を省略してもよい。   Next, with reference to FIGS. 19-21, the wire connection method using the wire connector 1 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated. Here, a description will be given by taking as an example an operation in which an interruption operation of the newly installed wires 2B and 3B and the existing wires 2A and 3A is performed. First, as shown in FIG. 19A, the new wires 2 </ b> B and 3 </ b> B are arranged on the second wire arrangement portion 7 </ b> B of the base member 4. Next, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), the second cap member 6B is pressed with a finger (or pliers) so that the wires 2B and 3B are contact members provided on the second wire placement portion 7B. Temporary pressure welding is performed. Next, as shown in FIG. 20A, the second cap member 6 </ b> B is further pressed with pliers, so that the wires 2 </ b> B and 3 </ b> B are pressed against each other to cut off the extra length portion. Note that the step of temporary press-contact may be omitted for the newly installed wires 2B and 3B.

次に、図２０（ｂ）に示すように、既設のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａをベース部材４の第１のワイヤ配置部７Ａに配置する。次に、図２１（ａ）に示すように、指（又はペンチ）で第１のキャップ部材６Ａを押圧することで、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａを第１のワイヤ配置部７Ａに設けられたコンタクト部材で仮圧接を行う。この状態では、新設のワイヤ２Ｂと既設のワイヤ２Ａが導通し、新設のワイヤ３Ｂと既設のワイヤ３Ａが導通することで、一時的にマルチ接続の状態となる。これによって、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａからワイヤ２Ｂ，３Ｂへの切り替え時に断線状態となることがなく、システム側においてエラーとなることを回避できる。次に、図２１（ｂ）に示すように、ペンチで第１のキャップ部材６Ａを更に押圧することで、ワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａを本圧接して余長部を切断する。以上によって作業が完了する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 20B, the existing wires 2 </ b> A and 3 </ b> A are arranged on the first wire arrangement portion 7 </ b> A of the base member 4. Next, as shown in FIG. 21 (a), the first cap member 6A is pressed with a finger (or pliers) so that the wires 2A and 3A are contact members provided on the first wire placement portion 7A. Temporary pressure welding is performed. In this state, the newly established wire 2B and the existing wire 2A are electrically connected, and the newly established wire 3B and the existing wire 3A are electrically connected, thereby temporarily entering a multi-connection state. As a result, a disconnection state does not occur when switching from the wires 2A and 3A to the wires 2B and 3B, and an error on the system side can be avoided. Next, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), the first cap member 6A is further pressed with pliers, whereby the wires 2A and 3A are pressed against each other to cut off the extra length. This completes the work.

次に、図２２を参照して、ワイヤ接続器１を複数収容するための収容体１００について説明する。収容体１００は、ワイヤ接続器１をそれぞれ収容する複数の収容部１０１を備える。複数の収容部１０１は、長手方向に沿って並設されている。収容部１０１は、ワイヤ接続器１の横方向（図では、ワイヤ接続器１の長辺方向）が収容体１００の長手方向に対して傾斜すると共に、一のワイヤ接続器１が横方向において他のワイヤ接続器１と重ならないように設けられている。また、隣り合わせたワイヤ接続器１とワイヤとの干渉を防ぐために、ワイヤ接続器１を傾斜させることもできる。図２３（ａ）は、図２２（ａ）に示す収容体１００に収容された状態のワイヤ接続器１の配列を示す平面拡大図である。図２３（ｂ）は、図２３（ａ）において矢印Ｂで示す方向（ワイヤ接続器１においてキャップ部材６Ａ，６Ｂが並ぶ方向と直交する方向）から見たときの状態を示す図である。図２３（ｂ）に示すように、各ワイヤ接続器１は、キャップ部材６Ｂ側が上側へ配置されるように、水平方向に対して傾斜している。これによって、一のワイヤ接続器１のキャップ部材６Ｂとベース部材４との間の隙間への入口部は、隣り合う他のワイヤ接続器１で（図２３（ｂ）に示す方向から見た状態において）塞がれることなく開放された状態となる。従って、ワイヤ２Ｂ，３Ｂをキャップ部材６Ｂとベース部材４との間の隙間へ挿入する際に、他のワイヤ接続器１と干渉することを防止できる。図２３（ｂ）で示されたワイヤ２Ｂ，３Ｂは、紙面左斜め下へ移動することで、紙面右側のワイヤ接続器１と干渉することなく、紙面左側のワイヤ接続器１のキャップ部材６Ｂとベース部材４の隙間へ入り込むことができる。   Next, with reference to FIG. 22, a container 100 for housing a plurality of wire connectors 1 will be described. The housing body 100 includes a plurality of housing portions 101 each housing the wire connector 1. The some accommodating part 101 is arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction. The container 101 is configured such that the horizontal direction of the wire connector 1 (in the drawing, the long side direction of the wire connector 1) is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the container 100, and one wire connector 1 is the other in the horizontal direction. The wire connector 1 is provided so as not to overlap. Moreover, in order to prevent the interference between the wire connector 1 and the wire adjacent to each other, the wire connector 1 can be inclined. FIG. 23A is an enlarged plan view showing the arrangement of the wire connector 1 accommodated in the container 100 shown in FIG. FIG. 23B is a diagram illustrating a state when viewed from a direction indicated by an arrow B in FIG. 23A (a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the cap members 6A and 6B are arranged in the wire connector 1). As shown in FIG. 23B, each wire connector 1 is inclined with respect to the horizontal direction so that the cap member 6B side is disposed on the upper side. As a result, the entrance to the gap between the cap member 6B and the base member 4 of one wire connector 1 is the state seen from the direction shown in FIG. In the open state without being blocked. Therefore, when the wires 2B and 3B are inserted into the gap between the cap member 6B and the base member 4, it is possible to prevent interference with the other wire connector 1. The wires 2B and 3B shown in FIG. 23 (b) move obliquely downward to the left in the drawing, so that they do not interfere with the wire connector 1 on the right in the drawing and the cap member 6B of the wire connector 1 on the left in the drawing. It can enter into the gap of the base member 4.

具体的には、収容体１００は、長手方向に延びる縁部１００ａと、縁部１００ａの両端部から長手方向と直交する短手方向へ延びる縁部１００ｂ，１００ｃと、を備えている。また、収容体１００は、縁部１００ａと対向する縁部１００ｄ側に、一定のパターンで複数の山を形成する構成を有している。縁部１００ｄは、ワイヤ接続器１の短手方向の辺と平行な第１の縁部１０２と、ワイヤ接続器１の長手方向の辺と平行な第２の縁部１０３と、を有している。第２の縁部１０３は、縁部１００ａ側へ向かって傾斜して延びている。当該第１の縁部１０２及び第２の縁部１０３のパターンが繰り返されて構成される。このとき、ワイヤ接続器１を横から見たとき、他のワイヤ接続器１と重ならないように設けられている。これにより、図２２（ｂ）に示すように、他のワイヤ接続器１と干渉することなく、ペンチＰで一のワイヤ接続器１を押圧することができる。このとき、各ワイヤ接続器１に新設のワイヤ２Ｂ，３Ｂを配置して束ねておいてよい。以上より、収容体１００にワイヤ接続器１を収容したままの状態で、キャップ部材６を介してワイヤを押圧するための工具での作業が行いやすくなるため、効率よくワイヤの接続を行うことができる。なお、縁部１００ａ、又は縁部１００ｃにカバーを設けてもよい。   Specifically, the container 100 includes an edge portion 100a extending in the longitudinal direction, and edge portions 100b and 100c extending from both end portions of the edge portion 100a in the short direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. In addition, the container 100 has a configuration in which a plurality of peaks are formed in a fixed pattern on the edge 100d side facing the edge 100a. The edge portion 100d includes a first edge portion 102 that is parallel to the short side of the wire connector 1 and a second edge 103 that is parallel to the long side of the wire connector 1. Yes. The second edge portion 103 is inclined and extended toward the edge portion 100a. The pattern of the said 1st edge part 102 and the 2nd edge part 103 is repeated, and is comprised. At this time, when the wire connector 1 is viewed from the side, it is provided so as not to overlap with the other wire connectors 1. Thereby, as shown in FIG.22 (b), the one wire connector 1 can be pressed with pliers P, without interfering with the other wire connector 1. FIG. At this time, new wires 2B and 3B may be arranged and bundled on each wire connector 1. As described above, since it becomes easy to work with the tool for pressing the wire through the cap member 6 while the wire connector 1 is housed in the container 100, the wires can be efficiently connected. it can. Note that a cover may be provided on the edge portion 100a or the edge portion 100c.

次に、本実施形態に係るワイヤ接続器１及び収容体１００の作用・効果について説明する。   Next, operations and effects of the wire connector 1 and the container 100 according to the present embodiment will be described.

第１の挟持部２１Ａ，２３Ａは、複数種類の第１のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａのワイヤ径に対応するように、第１のキャップ部材６Ａの第３の方向に沿って溝幅が複数段階で狭まる仮圧接部２６と、仮圧接部２６よりも第３の方向におけるベース部材４側（Ｚ軸方向負側）に形成される本圧接部２７と、を備えている。また、第１のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａの仮圧接時においては、第１のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａが仮圧接部２６で挟持されることでコンタクト部材１６，１７と導通すると共に第１の切断部材１８Ａ，１９Ａで切断されない。従って、第１のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａのワイヤ径が複数種類で異なるものであった場合であっても、当該第１のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａの切断を行う前段階にて、仮圧接部２６によって仮圧接の状態とすることができる。当該仮圧接状態では、第１のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａの切断は行われないが、コンタクト部材１６，１７との導通はなされた状態とすることができる。従って、システム側においてエラーとなることを回避できる。一方、第１のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａの本圧接時においては、第１のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａが本圧接部２７で挟持されることでコンタクト部材１６，１７と導通すると共に第１の切断部材１８Ａ，１９Ａで切断される。従って、一旦、第１のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａと第２のワイヤ２Ｂ，３Ｂとを導通させた後は、本圧接を行うことで、第１のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａの余長分を切断することができる。以上により、ワイヤのワイヤ径によらず、効率よくワイヤ同士の接続を行うことができる。   The first sandwiching portions 21A and 23A have a groove width that decreases in a plurality of stages along the third direction of the first cap member 6A so as to correspond to the wire diameters of the plurality of types of first wires 2A and 3A. The temporary pressure contact portion 26 and a main pressure contact portion 27 formed on the base member 4 side (Z-axis direction negative side) in the third direction from the temporary pressure contact portion 26 are provided. When the first wires 2A and 3A are temporarily pressed, the first wires 2A and 3A are sandwiched by the temporary pressure contact portion 26 so as to be electrically connected to the contact members 16 and 17 and the first cutting members 18A and 18A. Not cut at 19A. Therefore, even if the wire diameters of the first wires 2A and 3A are different among a plurality of types, the temporary pressure contact portion 26 temporarily prevents the first wires 2A and 3A from being cut. It can be in the state of pressure contact. In the temporary pressure contact state, the first wires 2A and 3A are not cut, but the contact members 16 and 17 can be electrically connected. Therefore, it is possible to avoid an error on the system side. On the other hand, at the time of the main press contact of the first wires 2A and 3A, the first wires 2A and 3A are sandwiched by the main press contact portion 27 so as to be electrically connected to the contact members 16 and 17 and the first cutting members 18A and 18A. Cut at 19A. Therefore, once the first wires 2A, 3A and the second wires 2B, 3B are made conductive, the extra length of the first wires 2A, 3A can be cut by performing the main pressure contact. it can. As described above, the wires can be efficiently connected regardless of the wire diameter.

また、ワイヤ接続器１において、第１のキャップ部材６Ａは、ベース部材４との間で、仮圧接部２６における複数段階の溝幅に応じて嵌合位置が複数段階で設置されるラッチ構造４６，４７を構成していている。これによって、仮圧接状態において、キャップ部材をベース部材にしっかりと固定することが可能となり、仮圧接状態を維持することができる。   Further, in the wire connector 1, the first cap member 6 </ b> A is latched with the base member 4 in a latch structure 46 in which fitting positions are set in a plurality of stages according to a plurality of stages of groove widths in the temporary pressure contact portion 26. , 47 are configured. Accordingly, in the temporary pressure contact state, the cap member can be firmly fixed to the base member, and the temporary pressure contact state can be maintained.

また、ワイヤ接続器１において、第１のキャップ部材６Ａ及び第２のキャップ部材６Ｂは、ベース部材４と対向する押圧部３１Ａ，３１Ｂ、及び押圧部３１Ａ，３１Ｂからベース部材４側へ延びる取付部３２Ａ，３２Ｂを有する。これにより、第１のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａ及び第２のワイヤ２Ｂ，３Ｂが延びる第１の方向から見て、Ｌ字状をなしている。また、第１のワイヤ２Ａ，３Ａ及び第２のワイヤ２Ｂ，３Ｂは、ベース部材４と押圧部３１Ａ，３１Ｂとの間の隙間へ、第３の方向と直行する第２の方向から挿入されることで、第１のワイヤ配置部７Ａ及び第２のワイヤ配置部７Ｂへ配置されてよい。これにより、ワイヤのワイヤ配置部７Ａ，７Ｂへの配置を行い易くなるため、効率よくワイヤ同士の接続を行うことができる。   In the wire connector 1, the first cap member 6 </ b> A and the second cap member 6 </ b> B are the pressing portions 31 </ b> A and 31 </ b> B that face the base member 4, and the mounting portions that extend from the pressing portions 31 </ b> A and 31 </ b> B to the base member 4 side. 32A and 32B. Thus, the first wire 2A, 3A and the second wire 2B, 3B are L-shaped when viewed from the first direction. Further, the first wires 2A, 3A and the second wires 2B, 3B are inserted into the gap between the base member 4 and the pressing portions 31A, 31B from the second direction perpendicular to the third direction. Thus, it may be arranged on the first wire arrangement part 7A and the second wire arrangement part 7B. Thereby, since it becomes easy to arrange | position to the wire arrangement | positioning part 7A, 7B of a wire, a wire can be connected efficiently.

また、ワイヤ接続器１において、第１のキャップ部材６Ａは、仮圧接から本圧接へ移行する状態において、ベース部材４の一部と係止する係止部４４，４５を有していている。これにより、仮圧接状態を維持する場合に、誤って本圧接へ移行することを抑制することができる。   Further, in the wire connector 1, the first cap member 6 </ b> A has locking portions 44 and 45 that are locked to a part of the base member 4 in a state in which the first pressure member is shifted from the temporary pressure contact to the main pressure contact. Thereby, when maintaining a temporary pressure contact state, it can suppress shifting to this pressure contact accidentally.

本発明は上述の実施形態に限定されるものではない。   The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
