The separator 29 integrally includes a cylindrical main body portion 32 and a plurality of partition walls 33 erected from the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 32, and is stacked on the elastic support member 4 so as to overlap the first connector housing. 10.

本体部３２の内径は、ボルト５のネジ部５ａの外径よりも大きく形成されている。複数の仕切り壁３３は、本体部３２の長手方向即ちボルト５の締結方向Ｔに沿って互いに間隔をあけて設けられている。仕切り壁３３は、その両表面が本体部３２の長手方向即ちボルト５の締結方向Ｔに対して直交する平板状に形成されている。図示例では、仕切り壁３３は、等間隔に四つ設けられかつそのうちの二つは本体部３２の両端から立設している。また、複数の仕切り壁３３のうち互いに隣り合う仕切り壁３３は、互いの間に第１及び第２の端子金具用通し孔２１，２２に保持されて電気接触部１９，２７が互いに重なる第１及び第２の端子金具１１，２４を互いの間に位置付けることとなる。   The inner diameter of the main body portion 32 is formed larger than the outer diameter of the screw portion 5 a of the bolt 5. The plurality of partition walls 33 are provided at intervals from each other along the longitudinal direction of the main body 32, that is, the fastening direction T of the bolt 5. The partition wall 33 is formed in a flat plate shape whose both surfaces are orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the main body 32, that is, the fastening direction T of the bolt 5. In the illustrated example, four partition walls 33 are provided at equal intervals, and two of them are erected from both ends of the main body 32. Moreover, the partition walls 33 adjacent to each other among the plurality of partition walls 33 are held in the first and second terminal metal fitting through holes 21 and 22 between each other, and the electrical contact portions 19 and 27 overlap each other. And the 2nd terminal metal fittings 11 and 24 will be positioned between each other.

コイルばね３０は、前述した第１及び第２の端子金具１１，２４と同数設けられている。即ち、図示例では、コイルばね３０は、三つ設けられている。コイルばね３０は、互いの間に第１及び第２の端子金具１１，２４を位置付ける二つの仕切り壁３３のうちボルト５の頭５ｂ寄りの一方即ちセパレータ２９と、当該第１及び第２の端子金具２４との間に設けられている。図示例では、コイルばね３０は、前述した一方の仕切り壁３３と第１の端子金具１１の電気接触部１９との間に設けられている。   The same number of coil springs 30 as the first and second terminal fittings 11 and 24 described above are provided. That is, in the illustrated example, three coil springs 30 are provided. The coil spring 30 includes one of the two partition walls 33 for positioning the first and second terminal fittings 11 and 24 between each other, that is, the separator 29 near the head 5b of the bolt 5, and the first and second terminals. It is provided between the metal fittings 24. In the illustrated example, the coil spring 30 is provided between the aforementioned one partition wall 33 and the electrical contact portion 19 of the first terminal fitting 11.

抜け防止部材３１は、環状に形成されているとともに、第１のコネクタハウジング１０の開口部２０の内縁部即ちセパレータ２９よりもボルト通し孔１４寄りに取り付けられて、セパレータ２９が第１のコネクタハウジング１０から脱落することを防止している。   The disconnection prevention member 31 is formed in an annular shape, and is attached to the inner edge of the opening 20 of the first connector housing 10, that is, closer to the bolt hole 14 than the separator 29, and the separator 29 is attached to the first connector housing. 10 is prevented from falling off.

前述した構成の押圧部１２は、ボルト５がナット１３にねじ込まれる前即ち締結される前では、図５に示すように、弾性支持部材４の弾性復元力及びコイルばね３０の弾性復元力により、前述した一方の仕切り壁３３が第１及び第２の端子金具１１，２４から離れている。そして、ボルト５がナット１３にねじ込まれると、当該ボルト５の頭５ｂからセパレータ２９の最も頭５ｂ寄りの仕切り壁３３がナット１３に向かって押圧される。即ち、前述した一方の仕切り壁３３が、互いに重なる第１及び第２の端子金具１１，２４に向かって押圧される。   Before the bolt 5 is screwed into the nut 13, that is, before being tightened, the pressing portion 12 having the above-described configuration is caused by the elastic restoring force of the elastic support member 4 and the elastic restoring force of the coil spring 30 as shown in FIG. One partition wall 33 described above is separated from the first and second terminal fittings 11, 24. When the bolt 5 is screwed into the nut 13, the partition wall 33 closest to the head 5 b of the separator 29 is pressed toward the nut 13 from the head 5 b of the bolt 5. That is, the one partition wall 33 described above is pressed toward the first and second terminal fittings 11 and 24 that overlap each other.

そして、弾性支持部材４及びコイルばね３０が仕切り壁３３などにより圧縮されて、コイルばね３０が互いに重なる第１の端子金具１１の電気接触部１９を第２の端子金具２４の電気接触部２７に向かって押圧する。こうして、押圧部１２は、ボルト５が締結されると、図６に示すように、当該ボルト５から押圧されて互いに重なる第１の端子金具１１と第２の端子金具２４とが互いに密着する方向に、これらのうち一方の第１の端子金具１１を押圧する。   Then, the elastic support member 4 and the coil spring 30 are compressed by the partition wall 33 or the like, so that the electrical contact portion 19 of the first terminal fitting 11 where the coil spring 30 overlaps the electrical contact portion 27 of the second terminal fitting 24. Press towards. Thus, when the bolt 5 is fastened, the pressing portion 12 is in a direction in which the first terminal fitting 11 and the second terminal fitting 24 which are pressed from the bolt 5 and overlap each other as shown in FIG. Then, one of the first terminal fittings 11 is pressed.

ボルト５は、ボルト通し孔１４内に通されてケース９内に収容される。そして、ボルト５は、そのネジ部５ａがセパレータ２９の本体部３２及び弾性支持部材４内に通されて、第１のコネクタハウジング１０の底板部１６に埋設されたナット１３にねじ込まれる（締結される）。このように、ボルト５は、ネジ部５ａがナット１３にねじ込まれることで、第１のコネクタハウジング１０に締結される。ボルト５は、ナット１３にねじ込まれる際に、当該ボルト５のネジ部５ａの長手方向に沿って移動する。このボルト５のねじ込まれる際即ち締結される際の移動方向を、本発明では、締結方向と記し矢印Ｔで示す。ボルト５は、ナット１３にねじ込まれると、その頭５ｂがナット１３との間にセパレータ２９及び弾性支持部材４を挟みこんで、当該弾性支持部材４を軸芯に沿って圧縮する。   The bolt 5 is passed through the bolt through hole 14 and accommodated in the case 9. Then, the bolt 5 is threaded (fastened) into the nut 13 embedded in the bottom plate portion 16 of the first connector housing 10 with the screw portion 5 a being passed through the main body portion 32 of the separator 29 and the elastic support member 4. ) In this manner, the bolt 5 is fastened to the first connector housing 10 by the screw portion 5 a being screwed into the nut 13. When the bolt 5 is screwed into the nut 13, the bolt 5 moves along the longitudinal direction of the threaded portion 5 a of the bolt 5. In the present invention, the direction of movement when the bolt 5 is screwed, that is, when it is fastened, is denoted as the fastening direction and indicated by an arrow T. When the bolt 5 is screwed into the nut 13, the head 5 b sandwiches the separator 29 and the elastic support member 4 between the nut 5 and compresses the elastic support member 4 along the axis.

蓋部材６は、厚手の平板状に形成され、ボルト通し孔１４を塞いだ格好でケース９に取り付けられる。固定用ボルト７のうち一方の固定用ボルト７は、蓋部材６とシールドシェル２５とを貫通してケース９にねじ込まれる。この一方の固定用ボルト７は、蓋部材６とシールドシェル２５即ち第２のコネクタ３をケース９に固定する。他方の固定用ボルト７は、シールドシェル２５を貫通して、ケース９にねじ込まれる。この他方の固定用ボルト７は、シールドシェル２５即ち第２のコネクタ３をケース９に固定する。   The lid member 6 is formed in a thick flat plate shape, and is attached to the case 9 so as to close the bolt through hole 14. One of the fixing bolts 7 passes through the lid member 6 and the shield shell 25 and is screwed into the case 9. The one fixing bolt 7 fixes the lid member 6 and the shield shell 25, that is, the second connector 3 to the case 9. The other fixing bolt 7 passes through the shield shell 25 and is screwed into the case 9. The other fixing bolt 7 fixes the shield shell 25, that is, the second connector 3 to the case 9.

前述したコネクタユニット１は、以下のように組み立てられる。まず、第２のコネクタ３が組み立てられるとともに、ナット１３を埋設した第１のコネクタハウジング１０内に弾性支持部材４とコイルばね３０付きのセパレータ２９が順に挿入されて当該第１のコネクタハウジング１０に抜け防止部材３１が取り付けられる。そして、第１の端子金具１１の電気接触部１９と前述した一方の仕切り壁３３との間にコイルばね３０が位置するように、当該第１の端子金具１１を第１の端子金具用通し孔２１内に挿入して、当該第１の端子金具１１を第１のコネクタハウジング１０に取り付けて、第１のコネクタ２を組み立てる。   The connector unit 1 described above is assembled as follows. First, the second connector 3 is assembled, and the elastic support member 4 and the separator 29 with the coil spring 30 are sequentially inserted into the first connector housing 10 in which the nut 13 is embedded. A slip prevention member 31 is attached. Then, the first terminal fitting 11 is connected to the first terminal fitting through hole so that the coil spring 30 is positioned between the electrical contact portion 19 of the first terminal fitting 11 and the one partition wall 33 described above. Then, the first terminal fitting 11 is attached to the first connector housing 10 to assemble the first connector 2.

そして、この第１のコネクタハウジング１０をケース９の内面に固定する。そして、第２のコネクタ３の第２の端子金具２４の電気接触部２７をコネクタ通し孔１５内に通して、更に、第１のコネクタハウジング１０に設けられた第２の端子金具用通し孔２２内に挿入する。そして、図５に示すように、ボルト５をボルト通し孔１４内に通して、そのネジ部５ａをセパレータ２９の本体部３２内に通してナット１３にねじ込む。すると、ボルト５をねじ込む前では、コイルばね３０が殆ど第１の端子金具１１を押圧していない又は全く押圧していない状態であるが、ボルト５をナット１３にねじ込むと、頭５ｂが仕切り壁３３を締結方向Ｔに押圧して、仕切り壁３３によりコイルばね３０及び弾性支持部材４が圧縮される。   Then, the first connector housing 10 is fixed to the inner surface of the case 9. Then, the electrical contact portion 27 of the second terminal fitting 24 of the second connector 3 is passed through the connector through hole 15, and further, the second terminal fitting through hole 22 provided in the first connector housing 10. Insert inside. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the bolt 5 is passed through the bolt passage hole 14, and the screw portion 5 a is passed through the main body portion 32 of the separator 29 and screwed into the nut 13. Then, before the bolt 5 is screwed in, the coil spring 30 hardly presses the first terminal fitting 11 or does not press at all. However, when the bolt 5 is screwed into the nut 13, the head 5b is separated from the partition wall. 33 is pressed in the fastening direction T, and the coil spring 30 and the elastic support member 4 are compressed by the partition wall 33.

そして、コイルばねが、その弾性復元力により互いに重なる第１及び第２の端子金具２４の電気接触部１９，２７が互いに密着する方向に、第１の端子金具１１の電気接触部１９を押圧する。すると、図６に示すように、第１及び第２の端子金具１１，２４の電気接触部１９，２７が密に接触して、端子金具１１，２４同士が電気的に接続する。そして、蓋部材６を取り付け、固定用ボルト７で蓋部材６及び第２のコネクタ３をケース９に固定する。こうして、第１のコネクタ２と第２のコネクタ３が互いに取り付けられて、端子金具１１，２４が互いに接続する。   And a coil spring presses the electrical contact part 19 of the 1st terminal metal fitting 11 in the direction which the electrical contact parts 19 and 27 of the 1st and 2nd terminal metal fitting 24 which mutually overlap with the elastic restoring force contact | adhere mutually. . Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the electrical contact portions 19 and 27 of the first and second terminal fittings 11 and 24 come into close contact with each other, and the terminal fittings 11 and 24 are electrically connected to each other. Then, the lid member 6 is attached, and the lid member 6 and the second connector 3 are fixed to the case 9 with fixing bolts 7. Thus, the first connector 2 and the second connector 3 are attached to each other, and the terminal fittings 11 and 24 are connected to each other.

本実施形態によれば、ボルト５が締結されると、押圧部１２が、互いに重なる第１の端子金具１１と第２の端子金具２４とを互いに密着する方向に第１の端子金具１１を押圧するため、押圧部１２が、ボルト５が締結されると、互いに重なる第１の端子金具１１と第２の端子金具２４とを互いに密着させることとなる。このために、複数の第１及び第２の端子金具２４をボルト５の締結方向Ｔに沿って互いに間隔をあけて配置することで、一つのボルト５により複数組の端子金具１１，２４の着脱を行うことができるとともに、ボルト５を締結することで端子金具１１，２４同士を確実に接続することができる。   According to this embodiment, when the bolt 5 is fastened, the pressing portion 12 presses the first terminal fitting 11 in a direction in which the first terminal fitting 11 and the second terminal fitting 24 that overlap each other are in close contact with each other. For this reason, when the bolt 5 is fastened, the pressing portion 12 brings the first terminal fitting 11 and the second terminal fitting 24 that overlap each other into close contact with each other. For this purpose, a plurality of first and second terminal fittings 24 are arranged at intervals along the fastening direction T of the bolt 5, so that a plurality of sets of terminal fittings 11, 24 can be attached and detached with one bolt 5. The terminal fittings 11 and 24 can be reliably connected to each other by fastening the bolt 5.

したがって、大電流を流すために必要とされる程度に端子金具１１，２４同士を確実に接続することを可能とできるとともに、ボルト５の締結及び締結の解除などの端子金具１１，２４同士の着脱作業を簡便な作業で行うことができる。   Therefore, it is possible to reliably connect the terminal fittings 11 and 24 to the extent required for flowing a large current, and to attach and detach the terminal fittings 11 and 24 such as fastening of the bolt 5 and release of fastening. Work can be done with simple work.

押圧部１２が、ボルト５により押圧されるセパレータ２９と、このセパレータ２９と互いに重なる端子金具１１，２４との間に設けられたコイルばね３０とを備えているので、ボルト５が締結されてセパレータ２９が当該ボルト５により押圧されると、コイルばね３０が弾性変形して、弾性復元力により互いに重なる端子金具１１，２４が互いに密着する方向に押圧することとなる。このために、ボルト５を締結することで、押圧部１２が端子金具１１，２４同士を密着させることができる。よって、端子金具１１，２４同士を大電流を流すために必要とされる程度に確実に接続することができる。   Since the pressing portion 12 includes a separator 29 pressed by the bolt 5 and a coil spring 30 provided between the terminal fittings 11 and 24 that overlap with the separator 29, the bolt 5 is fastened to the separator. When 29 is pressed by the bolt 5, the coil spring 30 is elastically deformed, and the terminal fittings 11 and 24 that are overlapped with each other are pressed in the direction in which they are in close contact with each other due to the elastic restoring force. For this reason, by fastening the bolt 5, the pressing portion 12 can bring the terminal fittings 11 and 24 into close contact with each other. Therefore, the terminal fittings 11 and 24 can be reliably connected to the extent necessary for flowing a large current.

また、複数の端子金具１１，２４を締結方向Ｔに沿って互いに間隔をあけて設け、セパレータ２９が互いに重なる端子金具１１，２４との間にコイルばね３０を設けた仕切り壁３３を備えているので、一つのボルト５を締結することにより、互いに重なる複数組の端子金具１１，２４同士をコイルばね３０の弾性復元力により互いに密着させることができる。したがって、端子金具１１，２４同士即ちコネクタ２，３同士を容易に着脱することができる。さらに、端子金具１１，２４が、これらの端子金具１１，２４の厚み方向に互いに間隔をあけて設けられているので、これらの端子金具１１，２２を幅方向に並べる場合よりも、互いに隣り合う端子金具１１，２４間の間隔を同じにしたとしても、コネクタハウジング１０，２３即ちコネクタ２，３の小型化を図ることができる。   A plurality of terminal fittings 11 and 24 are provided at intervals along the fastening direction T, and a partition wall 33 provided with a coil spring 30 between the terminal fittings 11 and 24 where the separator 29 overlaps each other is provided. Therefore, by fastening one bolt 5, a plurality of sets of terminal fittings 11, 24 that overlap each other can be brought into close contact with each other by the elastic restoring force of the coil spring 30. Therefore, the terminal fittings 11 and 24, that is, the connectors 2 and 3 can be easily attached and detached. Furthermore, since the terminal fittings 11 and 24 are provided at intervals in the thickness direction of the terminal fittings 11 and 24, they are adjacent to each other as compared with the case where the terminal fittings 11 and 22 are arranged in the width direction. Even if the distance between the terminal fittings 11 and 24 is the same, the connector housings 10 and 23, that is, the connectors 2 and 3 can be reduced in size.

押圧部１２を第１のコネクタハウジング１０に弾性支持する弾性支持部材４を備えているので、当該弾性支持部材４が弾性変形することで、締結されるボルト５により押圧される押圧部１２を当該ボルト５の締結方向Ｔに確実に移動させることができ、互いに重なる端子金具１１，２４同士を確実に密着させることができる。よって、端子金具１１，２４同士を大電流を流すために必要とされる程度に確実に接続することができる。   Since the elastic support member 4 that elastically supports the pressing portion 12 on the first connector housing 10 is provided, the elastic supporting member 4 is elastically deformed, so that the pressing portion 12 pressed by the bolt 5 to be fastened is The bolts 5 can be reliably moved in the fastening direction T, and the terminal fittings 11 and 24 that overlap each other can be reliably brought into close contact with each other. Therefore, the terminal fittings 11 and 24 can be reliably connected to the extent necessary for flowing a large current.

また、ボルト５の締結を解除すると、弾性支持部材４の弾性復元力により、押圧部１２が端子金具１１，２４同士が密着する方向に押圧することを解除することができる。このために、ボルト５の締結を解除することにより、端子金具１１，２４同士が密に接触しなくなる。よって、ボルト５の締結及び締結の解除などの端子金具１１，２４同士の着脱作業を簡便な作業で行うことができる。   When the fastening of the bolt 5 is released, the pressing portion 12 can be released from pressing in the direction in which the terminal fittings 11 and 24 are in close contact with each other by the elastic restoring force of the elastic support member 4. For this reason, by releasing the fastening of the bolt 5, the terminal fittings 11 and 24 do not come into close contact with each other. Therefore, the attachment / detachment work between the terminal fittings 11 and 24 such as fastening of the bolt 5 and release of the fastening can be performed with a simple work.

However, in the present invention, the nut 13 is attached to the second connector housing 23. The nut 13 may be embedded and fastened to the second connector housing 23. In the present invention, the coil spring 30 may bias the second terminal fitting 24 among the first and second terminal fittings 11 and 24 that overlap each other. In the present invention, not only the coil spring 30 but also various members may be used as the elastic member, and various members may be used as the elastic support member. Further, in the present invention, the elastic support member 4 may be attached to the second connector housing 23 so that the pressing portion 12 can be moved to the second connector housing 23.
