連接器Connector

本發明係有關於一種與如FPC(Flexible Printed Circuit)或FFC(Flexible Flat Cable)之板狀或片狀連接對象物連接之連接器。The present invention relates to a connector that is connected to a plate-like or sheet-like connection object such as an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) or an FFC (Flexible Flat Cable).

此種連接器係例如開示於專利文獻1(日本專利第4098290號公報)、專利文獻2(日本專利第2913156號公報)及專利文獻3(日本特開2008-235272號公報)。Such a connector is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent No. 4098290), Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent No. 2913156), and Patent Document 3 (JP-A-2008-235272).

專利文獻1之連接器具備自致動器分離設置之金屬補強構件，前述金屬補強構件局部設有接地接觸件。因此，接地接觸件不因為致動器之操作而變形及位移。又，訊號接觸件之接點部與接地接觸件之接點部係抵接在被***之FPC/FFC的相同平面上。The connector of Patent Document 1 includes a metal reinforcing member that is provided separately from the actuator, and the metal reinforcing member is partially provided with a ground contact. Therefore, the ground contact is not deformed and displaced due to the operation of the actuator. Further, the contact portion of the signal contact member and the contact portion of the ground contact member abut on the same plane of the inserted FPC/FFC.

專利文獻2之連接器具備被旋轉操作之稼動構件。前述稼動構件一面設有接地部。藉稼動構件之旋轉，接地部壓抵在FPC/FFC之接地層上。The connector of Patent Document 2 is provided with a moving member that is rotatably operated. One side of the aforementioned moving member is provided with a grounding portion. The grounding portion is pressed against the grounding layer of the FPC/FFC by the rotation of the moving member.

專利文獻3之連接器具備直接規定***口局部的金屬補強構件。在金屬補強構件局部形成有略呈L形之接地部。接地部被設置成自致動器分離。***FPC/FFC到***口時，接地部相對在FPC/FFC接地層上滑動以接觸。The connector of Patent Document 3 is provided with a metal reinforcing member that directly defines a part of the insertion port. A ground portion having a slightly L shape is partially formed in the metal reinforcing member. The ground portion is configured to be separated from the actuator.

在專利文獻2之連接器有藉稼動構件之旋轉操作而接地部有切削FPC/FFC接地層之虞的問題。In the connector of Patent Document 2, there is a problem in that the ground portion has a problem of cutting the FPC/FFC ground layer by the rotation operation of the moving member.

在專利文獻3之連接器係在***口設有接地部，所以，當***FPC/FFC到***口時，接地部與FPC/FFC接地層長時間一邊滑動一邊接觸(摩擦)，因此有接地層被切削之虞。In the connector of Patent Document 3, the grounding portion is provided at the insertion port. Therefore, when the FPC/FFC is inserted into the insertion port, the ground portion and the FPC/FFC ground layer are slid and contacted (frictionally) for a long time, so that there is a ground layer. After being cut.

在此，本發明之目的在於提供一種不損傷FPC/FFC接地層，而且能確保接觸穩定性之連接器。Here, it is an object of the present invention to provide a connector which does not damage the FPC/FFC ground layer and which ensures contact stability.

The upper receiving surface 16 defines a plane of the upper surface of the insertion portion 5. The holding portion 14 holds the hole of the contact member 20. The rear end upper portion 15 constitutes the upper side of the holding portion 14. In the insertion port 4 of the present embodiment, the lower portion receiving surface 13 and the metal reinforcing member 40 are partially defined (the portions of the metal reinforcing member 40 that protect the front end upper portion 11 and the upper inner surface 12). In the X direction (front and rear direction), the insertion port 4 is in communication with the holding portion 14.

各接觸件20具有下顎部22、上顎部23、連結部24、被保持部25及訊號端子26。在下顎部22設有第1接點部21。連結部24連結下顎部22與上顎部23。被保持部25藉保持部14保持，彈性支撐連結部24。訊號端子26自被保持部25往後方下側(-Z方向且X方向)延伸。連結部24係連結下顎部22與上顎部23使成音叉狀。訊號端子26連接在電路基板(未圖示)上的對應訊號端子(未圖示)。Each contact 20 has a lower jaw portion 22, an upper jaw portion 23, a coupling portion 24, a held portion 25, and a signal terminal 26. The first contact portion 21 is provided in the lower jaw portion 22. The connecting portion 24 connects the lower jaw portion 22 and the upper jaw portion 23. The held portion 25 is held by the holding portion 14 and elastically supports the connecting portion 24. The signal terminal 26 extends from the holding portion 25 to the lower rear side (the −Z direction and the X direction). The connecting portion 24 connects the lower jaw portion 22 and the upper jaw portion 23 to form a tuning fork. The signal terminal 26 is connected to a corresponding signal terminal (not shown) on a circuit board (not shown).

在本實施形態中，連結部24藉被保持部25而被彈性支撐。藉此，上顎部23及下顎部22將連結部24中之被被保持部25保持之部分當作中心以進行旋轉或類似旋轉之動作。當使用這種構成時，當舉起上顎部23到上方時，下顎部22也同時被舉起，第1接點部21也移動到上方。In the present embodiment, the connecting portion 24 is elastically supported by the holding portion 25. Thereby, the upper jaw portion 23 and the lower jaw portion 22 take the portion of the coupling portion 24 held by the holding portion 25 as a center to perform a rotation or the like. When such a configuration is used, when the upper jaw portion 23 is lifted up, the lower jaw portion 22 is simultaneously lifted, and the first contact portion 21 is also moved upward.

致動器30被套殼10保持，使得可在打開位置(參照第1圖~第3圖)與關閉位置(參照第4圖及第5圖)間旋轉。The actuator 30 is held by the casing 10 so as to be rotatable between an open position (see FIGS. 1 to 3) and a closed position (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

當參照第6圖~第8圖時，詳細說來，致動器30係具備軸部32、收容部34、舉起部36及包圍部38。軸部32係在左右兩端部(Y方向兩端部)前端中往外側凸出。收容部34係對應接觸件20以形成。舉起部36設於收容部34內。包圍部38構成致動器30之後部。Referring to FIGS. 6 to 8 in detail, the actuator 30 includes a shaft portion 32, a housing portion 34, a lift portion 36, and a surrounding portion 38. The shaft portion 32 is convex outward at the front ends of the left and right end portions (the both end portions in the Y direction). The accommodating portion 34 is formed corresponding to the contact member 20. The lift portion 36 is provided in the housing portion 34. The surrounding portion 38 constitutes a rear portion of the actuator 30.

本實施形態之軸部32係被套殼10保持，使得可旋轉且可在上下方向(Z方向)移動。The shaft portion 32 of the present embodiment is held by the casing 10 so as to be rotatable and movable in the vertical direction (Z direction).

當參照第7圖及第8圖時，收容部34形成平行於XZ平面之狹縫狀。在本實施形態中，收容部34之中的對應接地接觸件50之收容部34g具有與其他收容部(不對應接地接觸件之收容部)34不同之構造。When referring to Figs. 7 and 8, the accommodating portion 34 is formed in a slit shape parallel to the XZ plane. In the present embodiment, the accommodating portion 34g of the corresponding ground contact 50 in the accommodating portion 34 has a structure different from that of the other accommodating portion (the accommodating portion not corresponding to the ground contact) 34.

詳述說來，如第8圖所示，對應接地接觸件50之收容部34g具有上側收容部34a及下側收容部34b。另外，其他收容部34具有上側收容部34a及下側收容部34c。More specifically, as shown in Fig. 8, the accommodating portion 34g corresponding to the ground contact 50 has an upper accommodating portion 34a and a lower accommodating portion 34b. Further, the other housing portion 34 has an upper housing portion 34a and a lower housing portion 34c.

由第8圖可以理解：對應接地接觸件50之收容部34g上側收容部34a與其他收容部34之上側收容部34a係概略相同尺寸，當致動器30在關閉位置時，主要收容接觸件20上顎部23局部。另外，對應接地接觸件50之收容部34g下側收容部34b係比其他收容部34之下側收容部34c在Y方向中較寬些許，當致動器30在關閉位置時，主要收容接地接觸件50。藉此，不會阻礙接地接觸件50之變形或位移。It can be understood from FIG. 8 that the upper receiving portion 34a of the receiving portion 34g corresponding to the grounding contact member 50 is substantially the same size as the upper receiving portion 34a of the other receiving portion 34. When the actuator 30 is in the closed position, the contact member 20 is mainly accommodated. Part of the upper jaw 23 is partial. In addition, the lower receiving portion 34b of the receiving portion 34g corresponding to the ground contact member 50 is slightly wider in the Y direction than the lower receiving portion 34c of the other receiving portion 34, and the main receiving ground contact is when the actuator 30 is in the closed position. Item 50. Thereby, the deformation or position of the ground contact 50 is not hindered. shift.

如上所述，藉僅使對應接地接觸件50之收容部34g與其他收容部34不同構成，能使接觸件20之節距維持在最小，而且，能使接地接觸件50滑順地變形及移動。As described above, by merely making the accommodating portion 34g of the corresponding ground contact member 50 different from the other accommodating portions 34, the pitch of the contact member 20 can be kept to a minimum, and the ground contact member 50 can be smoothly deformed and moved. .

當參照第3圖、第5圖、第7圖及第8圖時，舉起部36具有偏心形狀。又，舉起部36係在各收容部34內於Y方向中連結構成收容部34之內壁們。亦即，舉起部36位於收容部34內。舉起部36係對應自打開位置往關閉位置以旋轉致動器30之旋轉操作，如第5圖所示，舉起接觸件20之上顎部23。當舉起部36舉起上顎部23時，如上所述，使設於下顎部22之第1接點部21往上方位移。當第1接點部21往上方位移時，以第1接點部21及***部5上部承受面16夾持FPC/FFC 80，而且，與FPC/FFC 80連接。When referring to FIGS. 3, 5, 7, and 8, the lift portion 36 has an eccentric shape. Further, the lift portion 36 connects the inner walls constituting the accommodating portion 34 in the Y direction in the respective accommodating portions 34. That is, the lift portion 36 is located in the housing portion 34. The lift portion 36 corresponds to the rotation operation of the rotary actuator 30 from the open position to the closed position, and as shown in Fig. 5, the upper portion 23 of the contact member 20 is lifted. When the lifting portion 36 lifts the upper jaw portion 23, the first contact portion 21 provided on the lower jaw portion 22 is displaced upward as described above. When the first contact portion 21 is displaced upward, the FPC/FFC 80 is sandwiched between the first contact portion 21 and the upper receiving surface 16 of the insertion portion 5, and is connected to the FPC/FFC 80.

當參照第5圖時，包圍部38係當致動器30在關閉位置時，包圍套殼10之後端上部15。藉此包圍，接觸件20之被保持部25也被保護及包圍。When referring to Fig. 5, the enclosure 38 encloses the rear upper portion 15 of the casing 10 when the actuator 30 is in the closed position. By this, the held portion 25 of the contact 20 is also protected and surrounded.

當參照第1圖及第4圖時，金屬補強構件40被安裝在套殼10，使得局部保護及補強套殼10。尤其，金屬補強構件40在與YZ平面平行之平面內，位於包圍***口4之位置。具體說來，本實施形態之金屬補強構件40局部係規定***口4，其他部分在離開***口4之位置中，包圍***口4。When referring to Figs. 1 and 4, the metal reinforcing member 40 is mounted to the casing 10 to partially protect and reinforce the casing 10. In particular, the metal reinforcing member 40 is located at a position surrounding the insertion port 4 in a plane parallel to the YZ plane. Specifically, the metal reinforcing member 40 of the present embodiment partially defines the insertion port 4, and the other portion surrounds the insertion port 4 at a position apart from the insertion port 4.

當參照第9圖及第10圖時，詳細說來，金屬補強構件40具有：上側補強構件41，在Y方向延伸；前端補強部43，自上側補強構件41前端往下側延伸；下側補強構件44，在Z方向中，相向上側補強構件41；連結部45，連結上側補強構件41與下側補強構件44；以及側部補強部46，自上側補強構件41之Y方向兩端延伸。上側補強構件41呈細長板狀，與YX平面概略平行而延伸。在上側補強構件41後緣設有往後方凸出之被固定部42a。前述被固定部42a被套殼10固定。前端補強部43係也呈細長板狀，在兩個連結部45之間與YZ平面略成平行而延伸。下側補強構件44呈細長板狀，且具有字狀，與XY平面概略平行而延伸。在下側補強構件44後緣設有往後方凸出之被固定部42b。前述被固定部42b係被固定在套殼10之部位。又，自下側補強構件44前緣(ㄈ字形之內側)，接地端子49往前方(-X方向)凸出。前述接地端子49連接在設於搭載有連接器1之電路基板(未圖示)上之接地部(未圖示)。連結部45具有概略平行YZ平面之表面。在側部補強部46設有壓入部47及按住部48。壓入部47被壓入套殼10。按住部48係用於使連接器1相對於電路基板(未圖示)連接固定。在本實施形態中，按住部48係藉軟銲連接在電路基板(未圖示)。藉使具備這種構成之金屬補強構件40安裝在套殼10，套殼10前端上部11藉上側補強構件41及前側補強構件43保護及補強。此時，連結部45係位於***口4之左右兩側。又，下側補強構件44保護及補強套殼10之底部側。Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, in detail, the metal reinforcing member 40 has an upper reinforcing member 41 extending in the Y direction, and a distal end reinforcing portion 43 extending from the front end of the upper reinforcing member 41 to the lower side; The member 44 has a phase-upward reinforcing member 41 in the Z direction, a coupling portion 45 that connects the upper reinforcing member 41 and the lower reinforcing member 44, and a side reinforcing portion 46 that extends from both ends of the upper reinforcing member 41 in the Y direction. The upper reinforcing member 41 has an elongated plate shape and extends substantially in parallel with the YX plane. A fixed portion 42a that protrudes rearward is provided at a rear edge of the upper reinforcing member 41. The fixed portion 42a is fixed by the casing 10. The distal end reinforcing portion 43 also has an elongated plate shape, and extends between the two connecting portions 45 in a direction slightly parallel to the YZ plane. The lower reinforcing member 44 has an elongated plate shape and has The shape of the word extends in parallel with the XY plane. A fixed portion 42b that protrudes rearward is provided at a rear edge of the lower reinforcing member 44. The fixed portion 42b is fixed to a portion of the casing 10. Further, from the front edge of the lower reinforcing member 44 (inside of the U-shape), the ground terminal 49 protrudes forward (-X direction). The ground terminal 49 is connected to a ground portion (not shown) provided on a circuit board (not shown) on which the connector 1 is mounted. The connecting portion 45 has a surface that is substantially parallel to the YZ plane. The press portion 47 and the press portion 48 are provided in the side reinforcing portion 46. The press-in portion 47 is pressed into the casing 10. The pressing portion 48 is for connecting and fixing the connector 1 to a circuit board (not shown). In the present embodiment, the pressing portion 48 is connected to a circuit board (not shown) by soldering. When the metal reinforcing member 40 having such a configuration is attached to the casing 10, the front end portion 11 of the casing 10 is protected and reinforced by the upper reinforcing member 41 and the front reinforcing member 43. At this time, the connecting portion 45 is located on the left and right sides of the insertion port 4. Further, the lower reinforcing member 44 protects and reinforces the bottom side of the casing 10.

在本實施形態之金屬補強構件40一體形成有接地接觸件50。換言之，本實施形態之接地接觸件50形成金屬補強構件40之局部。但是，本發明並不侷限於此，金屬補強構件40與接地接觸件50也可以設為分別個體。The ground contact member 50 is integrally formed in the metal reinforcing member 40 of the present embodiment. In other words, the ground contact 50 of the present embodiment forms part of the metal reinforcing member 40. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the metal reinforcing member 40 and the ground contact 50 may be individually provided.

如第3圖及第5圖所示，接地接觸件50係自連接器1前端2往***部5內延伸。詳細說來，接地接觸件50具有接點支撐部51及第2接點部52。接點支撐部51在與金屬補強構件40前側補強構件43之下緣後方(+X方向)及下方(-Z方向)兩者斜交方向上延伸。第2接點部52被接點支撐部51彈性支撐。第2接點部52係位於自***口4進入之深側，與FPC/FFC 80接地層84電性連接之部位。而且第2接點部52係與***部5下部承受面13一齊夾持被******部5之FPC/FFC 80之部位。As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the ground contact 50 extends from the front end 2 of the connector 1 into the insertion portion 5. In detail, the ground contact 50 has a contact support portion 51 and a second contact portion 52. The contact support portion 51 extends in a direction oblique to both the rear (+X direction) and the lower (-Z direction) of the lower edge of the front reinforcing member 43 of the metal reinforcing member 40. The second contact portion 52 is elastically supported by the contact supporting portion 51. The second contact portion 52 is located at a portion deep from the entrance of the insertion port 4 and electrically connected to the FPC/FFC 80 ground layer 84. Further, the second contact portion 52 is sandwiched between the lower receiving surface 13 of the insertion portion 5 and the portion of the FPC/FFC 80 inserted into the insertion portion 5.

由第3圖、第5圖及第7圖可以理解：接地接觸件50係相對安裝於套殼10，被收容部34g較寬之下側收容部34b局部收容。第2接點部52係在收容部34g內，相對接觸被******部5之FPC/FFC 80的接地層84之物件。具體說來，第2接點部52位於上顎部23之下側(-Z方向)。亦即，第2接點部52被配置於舉起部36附近。因此，當以***部5下部承受面13與第2接點部52夾持被******部5之FPC/FFC 80時，極端之剪斷應力不會施加在FPC/FFC 80上。又，本實施形態之第2接點部52係與接觸件20第1接點部21在X方向(前後方向)中，被配置於概略相同位置。因此，不會藉來自接地接觸件50之反作用力而致動器30打開。而且，接地層84與第2接點部52之滑動量(接觸同時之相對移動)很少，所以，接地層84之切削很少，而且可盡量減少上述剪斷應力。It can be understood from FIGS. 3, 5, and 7 that the ground contact member 50 is relatively mounted to the casing 10, and is partially housed by the lower side receiving portion 34b of the accommodating portion 34g. The second contact portion 52 is in the accommodating portion 34g and is in contact with the object inserted into the ground layer 84 of the FPC/FFC 80 of the insertion portion 5. Specifically, the second contact portion 52 is located on the lower side (-Z direction) of the upper jaw portion 23. In other words, the second contact portion 52 is disposed in the vicinity of the lift portion 36. Therefore, when the FPC/FFC 80 inserted into the insertion portion 5 is sandwiched by the lower receiving surface 13 of the insertion portion 5 and the second contact portion 52, the extreme shear stress is not applied to the FPC/FFC 80. Further, the second contact portion 52 of the present embodiment is disposed at substantially the same position in the X direction (front-rear direction) as the first contact portion 21 of the contact 20 . Therefore, the actuator 30 is not opened by the reaction force from the ground contact 50. Further, since the amount of sliding of the ground layer 84 and the second contact portion 52 (relative movement at the same time of contact) is small, the grounding layer 84 has little cutting and the shear stress can be minimized.

在本實施形態中，即使致動器30自打開位置往關閉位置旋轉操作，接地接觸件50之第2接點部52也不會位移。換言之，本實施形態之接地接觸件50不會被進行上述旋轉操作之致動器30按壓。如此一來，在本實施形態中，對應致動器30旋轉之接觸件20第1接點部21之位移與接地接觸件50第2接點部52之位移係相互獨立。藉此，在致動器30旋轉時，接地層84不會被第2接點部52損傷。In the present embodiment, even if the actuator 30 is rotated from the open position to the closed position, the second contact portion 52 of the ground contact 50 is not displaced. In other words, the ground contact 50 of the present embodiment is not pressed by the actuator 30 that performs the above-described rotation operation. As described above, in the present embodiment, the displacement of the first contact portion 21 of the contact 20 corresponding to the rotation of the actuator 30 is independent of the displacement of the second contact portion 52 of the ground contact 50. Thereby, the ground layer 84 is not damaged by the second contact portion 52 when the actuator 30 rotates.

在本實施形態之連接器1中，當未***FPC/FFC 80，而且致動器30在打開位置時，套殼10下部承受面13與接地接觸件50第2接點部52間之Z方向(上下方向)中之距離，比FPC/FFC 80之厚度還要窄。因此，在致動器30於打開位置之狀態中，當***FPC/FFC 80到***部5時，能使FPC/FFC 80暫時保持在連接器1。In the connector 1 of the present embodiment, when the FPC/FFC 80 is not inserted and the actuator 30 is in the open position, the Z direction between the lower receiving surface 13 of the casing 10 and the second contact portion 52 of the ground contact 50 is The distance in the (up and down direction) is narrower than the thickness of the FPC/FFC 80. Therefore, in the state where the actuator 30 is in the open position, when the FPC/FFC 80 is inserted into the insertion portion 5, the FPC/FFC 80 can be temporarily held at the connector 1.

雖然說明過本發明之最佳實施形態，但是，該行業之業者可知，在不脫逸本發明精神之範圍中，可有實施形態之變形，這種實施形態也屬於本發明之範圍。While the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the invention may be practiced without departing from the scope of the invention.
