本發明係關於一種藉由接合端子使複數個母端子金屬件相互導通連接之接合連接器、及連接器組合裝置。The present invention relates to a joint connector and a connector assembly device in which a plurality of female terminal metal members are electrically connected to each other by a joint terminal.

圖12係表示接合連接器習知之範例者。Figure 12 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional connector.

此接合連接器100係下述專利文獻1所揭示者,其包含接合端子(匯流排)110、複數根母端子金屬件120、第1連接器外殼130、及第2連接器外殼140。The joint connector 100 is disclosed in Patent Document 1 below, and includes a joint terminal (bus bar) 110, a plurality of female terminal metal members 120, a first connector housing 130, and a second connector housing 140.

接合端子110係金屬板之壓製成形品,其包含將母端子金屬件120嵌合連接之複數根接頭片111、與使此等接頭片111導通連接之連結部112。The joint terminal 110 is a press-formed product of a metal plate, and includes a plurality of joint pieces 111 for fitting and connecting the female terminal metal fittings 120, and a joint portion 112 for electrically connecting the joint pieces 111.

母端子金屬件120係金屬板之壓製成形品,其包含嵌合有接頭片111之角筒狀之箱部121、自該箱部121之後端延伸出並壓接電線150之電線壓緊部122、及防脫用之卡合凹部123。The female terminal metal member 120 is a press-formed product of a metal plate, and includes a box portion 121 having a rectangular tubular shape in which the tab piece 111 is fitted, and a wire pressing portion 122 extending from the rear end of the box portion 121 and crimping the electric wire 150. And the engagement recess 123 for preventing the use.

第1連接器外殼130係樹脂之射出成形品,其包含外殼一端部131、與自該外殼一端部131延伸出之筒狀之罩部132。The first connector housing 130 is a resin injection molded article, and includes a housing end portion 131 and a cylindrical cover portion 132 extending from the housing end portion 131.

外殼一端部131係使接頭片111朝向外殼之另一端130a(圖12中之右端)側,而收容保持接合端子110。此外殼一端部131係藉由例如嵌入成形而保持接合端子110。The one end portion 131 of the casing is such that the tab piece 111 faces the other end 130a (the right end in FIG. 12) side of the casing, and accommodates the holding joint terminal 110. The housing end portion 131 holds the joint terminal 110 by, for example, insert molding.

罩部132係嵌合第2連接器外殼140之筒狀部。於此罩部132,設置有用以固定所嵌合之第2連接器外殼140之鎖定孔部134。The cover portion 132 is fitted to the tubular portion of the second connector housing 140. The cover portion 132 is provided with a locking hole portion 134 for fixing the fitted second connector housing 140.

第2連接器外殼140收容保持母端子金屬件120,並嵌合連接於第1連接器外殼130。The second connector housing 140 houses and holds the female terminal metal member 120 and is fitted and coupled to the first connector housing 130.

第2連接器外殼140包含收容母端子金屬件120之複數個母端子收容孔141、防止***於母端子收容孔141內之母端子金屬件120脫落之矛形部142、及鎖定與第1連接器外殼130之結合狀態之鎖定突起143。The second connector housing 140 includes a plurality of female terminal receiving holes 141 for accommodating the female terminal metal member 120, a lance portion 142 for preventing the female terminal metal member 120 inserted into the female terminal receiving hole 141 from coming off, and a locking and first connection. The locking protrusion 143 of the combined state of the housing 130.

矛形部142於沿著母端子收容孔141延伸出之彈性片142a之自由端側,設有朝向母端子收容孔141突出之端子卡止突起142b。此矛形部142係在使母端子金屬件120***母端子收容孔141之途中,藉由母端子金屬件120之箱部121與端子卡止突起142b之干擾,以使端子卡止突起142b退避至母端子收容孔141外側之方式,使彈性片142a彎曲變形而容許母端子金屬件120之***。而且,當母端子金屬件120***至規定位置時,端子卡止突起142b就會因為端子卡止突起142b之彈性恢復力使端子卡止突起142b卡合於母端子金屬件120之卡合凹部123,而防止母端子金屬件120脫落。The lance portion 142 is provided with a terminal locking protrusion 142b that protrudes toward the female terminal receiving hole 141 at a free end side of the elastic piece 142a extending along the female terminal receiving hole 141. The lance portion 142 is in the middle of inserting the female terminal metal member 120 into the female terminal receiving hole 141, and interferes with the terminal locking protrusion 142b by the box portion 121 of the female terminal metal member 120 to retract the terminal locking protrusion 142b. The elastic piece 142a is bent and deformed to allow the insertion of the female terminal metal member 120 so as to be outside the female terminal receiving hole 141. Further, when the female terminal metal member 120 is inserted into the predetermined position, the terminal locking projection 142b engages the terminal locking projection 142b with the engaging recessed portion 123 of the female terminal metal member 120 due to the elastic restoring force of the terminal locking projection 142b. And preventing the female terminal metal member 120 from coming off.

鎖定突起143係於第1連接器外殼130與第2連接器外殼140正常地完成嵌合時,卡合於第1連接器外殼130之鎖定孔部134,而鎖定連接器外殼相互之結合狀態。When the first connector housing 130 and the second connector housing 140 are normally fitted, the locking projections 143 are engaged with the locking hole portions 134 of the first connector housing 130, and the locking connector housings are coupled to each other.

於上述接合連接器100中,當裝接於第2連接器外殼140之母端子金屬件120未到達規定位置之半嵌合(不完全***)狀態時,作為檢測上述情況之半嵌合檢測手段,於第1連接器外殼130之外殼一端部131設有半嵌合檢測突起135。In the above-described joint connector 100, when the female terminal metal fitting 120 attached to the second connector housing 140 does not reach the predetermined position (incompletely inserted) state, the half fitting detecting means for detecting the above-described situation A half fitting detecting protrusion 135 is provided at one end portion 131 of the outer casing of the first connector housing 130.

此半嵌合檢測突起135係於使第1連接器外殼130與第2連接器外殼140進行嵌合時,用以***矛形部142之退避用空間145之突起。於母端子金屬件120處於未完全嵌合至母端子收容孔141之半嵌合狀態時,矛形部142係彎曲移位至退避用空間145側。因此,於使外殼相互嵌合時,半嵌合檢測突起135會干擾移位至退避用空間145之矛形部142之前端,而妨礙外殼相互之嵌合。藉此,可檢測到母端子金屬件120為半嵌合狀態。The half fitting detecting projection 135 is a projection for inserting the retracting space 145 of the lance portion 142 when the first connector housing 130 and the second connector housing 140 are fitted. When the female terminal metal fitting 120 is in a half fitting state in which the female terminal fitting 120 is not completely fitted to the female terminal receiving hole 141, the lance portion 142 is bent and displaced to the side of the evacuation space 145. Therefore, when the outer casings are fitted to each other, the half fitting detecting projections 135 interfere with the front ends of the lance portions 142 displaced to the evacuation space 145, thereby preventing the outer casings from being fitted to each other. Thereby, the female terminal metal member 120 can be detected to be in a semi-fitted state.

專利文獻1:日本專利特開平8-250185號公報Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 8-250185

然而,於專利文獻1所記載之接合連接器100中,由於收容保持接合端子110之第1連接器外殼130、與收容保持母端子金屬件120之第2連接器外殼140為分開之個體,因此有零件件數變多之問題。However, in the joint connector 100 described in Patent Document 1, since the first connector housing 130 that houses the holding joint terminal 110 and the second connector housing 140 that houses the holding female terminal metal member 120 are separated from each other, There are problems with the number of parts.

又,為了使接合端子110與母端子金屬件120嵌合連接,需要有將第1連接器外殼130與第2連接器外殼140嵌合連接之步驟,由於組合步驟會變多,因此亦有難以提高組合性之問題。Moreover, in order to fit and connect the joint terminal 110 and the female terminal metal fitting 120, it is necessary to insert and connect the first connector housing 130 and the second connector housing 140, and it is difficult to combine the steps. Improve the problem of composition.

又,於第2連接器外殼140內母端子金屬件120之防脫,係藉由第2連接器外殼140內之矛形部142所達成。然而,矛形部係由與金屬相比強度較低之樹脂所製造,且由第2連接器外殼140中具有可撓性之部分所構成。又,由於很難透過增大矛形部之尺寸而提高強度。因此,亦有難以提高防脫強度之問題。Further, the prevention of the female terminal metal member 120 in the second connector housing 140 is achieved by the lance portion 142 in the second connector housing 140. However, the lance portion is made of a resin having a lower strength than metal, and is composed of a flexible portion of the second connector housing 140. Also, it is difficult to increase the strength by increasing the size of the lance. Therefore, it is also difficult to improve the problem of the anti-off strength.

再者,防止第2連接器外殼140脫落之矛形部142由於在將母端子金屬件120***第2連接器外殼140時會成為阻礙,因此亦有母端子金屬件120之裝接會耗費工夫之問題。Further, since the lance portion 142 for preventing the second connector housing 140 from coming off is hindered when the female terminal metal member 120 is inserted into the second connector housing 140, it is also time consuming to attach the female terminal metal member 120. The problem.

又,作為母端子金屬件120之半嵌合檢測手段,於接合端子110形成半嵌合檢測突起135,為了裝備半嵌合檢測突起135,亦有會使第1連接器外殼130之構造複雜化之問題。Further, as the half fitting detecting means of the female terminal metal member 120, the half fitting detecting projection 135 is formed in the joint terminal 110, and the structure of the first connector housing 130 may be complicated in order to equip the half fitting detecting projection 135. The problem.

因此,為解決上述問題,本發明之目的在於提供一種可實現零件件數之削減與組合性之提升的接合連接器、及提供一種防止裝接於上述接合連接器之母端子金屬件脫落的連接器組合裝置。Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a joint connector capable of reducing the number of parts and improving the combination, and providing a joint for preventing the metal member attached to the joint terminal from coming off. Combination device.

本發明之上述目的係藉由下述構成所達成。The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following constitution.

(1)一種接合連接器,其具備:複數根母端子金屬件;接合端子,其具備將上述母端子金屬件嵌合連接之複數根接頭片與使此等接頭片導通連接之連結部;及樹脂製之連接器外殼,其具備:外殼一端部,其使上述接頭片朝向外殼之另一端側而收容保持上述接合端子;及外殼另一端部,其排列有藉由將上述母端子金屬件***至規定位置為止而使上述母端子金屬件與上述接頭片成為嵌合狀態之母端子收容孔;上述母端子金屬件具備沿著朝向上述母端子收容孔之***方向延伸存在之***導引用突片,上述連接器外殼具備:複數個治具插通孔,其以使***至上述規定位置為止之上述母端子金屬件之上述***導引用突片及其周緣露出外表面之方式貫通形成於外殼外壁;及防脫用卡止面,其形成於***至上述規定位置為止之上述母端子金屬件之上述***導引用突片之側方;且***至上述規定位置為止之上述母端子金屬件之上述***導引用突片,係藉由自上述治具插通孔***之治具而朝上述防脫用卡止面側彎折,並藉由上述***導引用突片之彎曲部與上述防脫用卡止面之卡合而防止上述母端子金屬件脫落。(1) A joint connector comprising: a plurality of female terminal metal members; and a joint terminal having a plurality of joint pieces for fitting and fitting the female terminal metal pieces to a joint portion for electrically connecting the joint pieces; and a connector housing made of resin, comprising: one end portion of the housing, wherein the tab is oriented to face the other end side of the housing to receive and hold the joint terminal; and the other end portion of the housing is arranged by inserting the female terminal metal member a female terminal receiving hole in which the female terminal metal member and the tab are fitted to each other until the predetermined position; the female terminal metal member includes an insertion guide tab extending in an insertion direction of the female terminal receiving hole The connector housing includes: a plurality of jig insertion holes formed in the outer wall of the outer casing such that the insertion guide tab of the female terminal metal member inserted into the predetermined position and the peripheral edge thereof are exposed to the outer surface And a locking preventing surface formed on the insertion guide protrusion of the female terminal metal member inserted into the predetermined position And the insertion guide tab of the female terminal metal member inserted into the predetermined position is bent toward the retaining engagement surface by a jig inserted from the jig insertion hole The folding and the bending of the insertion guide tab are prevented from coming into contact with the retaining engagement surface to prevent the female terminal metal from falling off.

(2)如上述(1)之接合連接器,其中,上述連接器外殼具備在上述母端子金屬件朝母端子收容孔***時可滑動地收容上述***導引用突片而將上述母端子金屬件導引至上述規定位置之導引溝,上述防脫用卡止面係構成上述導引溝之溝側壁之終端面,上述溝側壁之終端係於上述母端子金屬件未到達上述規定位置時,以阻止因上述治具所導致上述***導引用突片之彎曲的方式設定終端位置。(2) The joint connector according to the above (1), wherein the connector housing is provided to slidably receive the insertion guide tab when the female terminal metal member is inserted into the female terminal receiving hole, and to connect the female terminal metal member a guiding groove guided to the predetermined position, wherein the locking preventing surface forms a terminal surface of the groove side wall of the guiding groove, and the end of the groove side wall is when the female terminal metal member does not reach the predetermined position; The terminal position is set so as to prevent the above-described insertion guide tab from being bent by the jig.

(3)一種連接器組合裝置,其具備:感測器部,其將上述(1)或(2)所記載之連接器外殼之一端部定位,並於將上述母端子金屬件朝上述母端子收容孔***時,藉由在上述母端子金屬件突抵於上述規定位置時作用於上述連接器外殼之負荷之變動,檢測上述母端子金屬件已到達上述規定位置;及治具驅動部,其朝向上述連接器外殼之治具插通孔可進退地支撐上述治具,當上述感測器部檢測到上述母端子金屬件已到達上述規定位置時,將上述治具***上述治具插通孔,使上述***導引用突片彎曲成形。(3) A connector assembly device comprising: a sensor portion that positions one end portion of the connector housing described in (1) or (2), and places the female terminal metal member toward the female terminal When the receiving hole is inserted, the female terminal metal member is detected to have reached the predetermined position by the fluctuation of the load acting on the connector housing when the female terminal metal member protrudes from the predetermined position; and the jig driving portion is The jig insertion hole facing the connector housing supports the jig for advancing and retracting, and when the sensor portion detects that the female terminal metal member has reached the predetermined position, inserting the jig into the jig insertion hole The above-described insertion guide tab is bent and formed.

根據上述(1)之構成,接合端子與母端子金屬件之嵌合連接係藉由於一端收容保持接合端子而於另一端***有母端子金屬件的單一連接器外殼所進行,因此若與使一對連接器外殼相互嵌合連接之習知之接合連接器相比,可削減零件之件數。According to the configuration of the above (1), the fitting connection between the joint terminal and the female terminal metal member is performed by a single connector housing in which the female terminal member is inserted at the other end by the one end receiving and holding the joint terminal, and therefore The number of parts can be reduced as compared with a conventional joint connector in which the connector housings are fitted to each other.

又,母端子金屬件自連接器外殼之防脫,係藉由使裝備於母端子金屬件之***導引用突片彎折而卡合於連接器外殼之防脫用卡止面所進行。因此,於連接器外殼可不需裝備用以防止母端子金屬件脫落之矛形部。換言之,於將母端子金屬件***連接器外殼時,因為由矛形部所造成之阻礙未發生作用,因此母端子金屬件之***操作會變得容易,可實現組合性之提升。Further, the female terminal metal member is prevented from coming off the connector housing by being bent by the insertion guide tab provided on the female terminal metal member to be engaged with the retaining engagement surface of the connector housing. Therefore, the connector housing does not need to be equipped with a lance to prevent the female terminal metal from falling off. In other words, when the female terminal metal member is inserted into the connector housing, since the obstruction caused by the lance portion does not act, the insertion operation of the female terminal metal member becomes easy, and the combination can be improved.

又,藉由與連接器外殼中不具有可撓性之防脫用卡止面之卡合而防止母端子金屬件脫落的***導引用突片由於係金屬板製,因此若與藉由樹脂製之矛形部防止母端子金屬件脫落之習知之接合連接器相比,可提高對於母端子金屬件防止脫落之強度。Moreover, the insertion guide tab for preventing the female terminal metal member from falling off by the engagement with the retaining preventing surface of the connector housing which is not flexible, is made of a resin, and therefore is made of resin. The spear-shaped portion can improve the strength against the female terminal metal member from falling off in comparison with the conventional joint connector in which the female terminal metal member is detached.

根據上述(2)之構成,藉由彎折***導引用突片而防止母端子金屬件脫落之***導引用突片,於母端子金屬件未到達母端子收容孔之規定位置即在不完全***之狀態下,因為使***導引用突片滑動之導引溝之溝側壁會阻止彎曲,而使***導引用突片無法彎折。According to the configuration of the above (2), the insertion guide tab is prevented from being bent by inserting the guide tab, and the female terminal metal member is not fully inserted at a predetermined position where the female terminal metal member does not reach the female terminal receiving hole. In the state in which the side wall of the groove of the guide groove for sliding the insertion guide tab is prevented from being bent, the insertion guide tab cannot be bent.

因此,可根據治具能否使***導引用突片彎折,而檢測到母端子金屬件是否為半嵌合狀態。因此,由於不需要將專用之半嵌合檢測構造裝備於連接器外殼,故可簡化連接器外殼之構造。Therefore, whether or not the female terminal metal member is in a semi-fitted state can be detected depending on whether or not the jig can bend the insertion guide tab. Therefore, since it is not necessary to equip the dedicated half-fit detection structure to the connector housing, the configuration of the connector housing can be simplified.

根據上述(3)之構成,若母端子金屬件***至母端子收容孔之規定位置為止,則感測器會檢測到上述情況,就會使根據感測器之檢測信號進行動作之治具驅動部自動地將治具***治具插通孔內,而使母端子金屬件之***導引用突片成形為既定之彎折形狀,從而防止母端子金屬件之脫落。According to the configuration of the above (3), if the female terminal metal member is inserted into the predetermined position of the female terminal receiving hole, the sensor detects the above situation, and the jig is driven to operate according to the detection signal of the sensor. The portion is automatically inserted into the jig insertion hole, and the insertion guide tab of the female terminal metal member is formed into a predetermined bent shape, thereby preventing the female terminal metal member from coming off.

因此,可不需進行特別之操作便可防止裝接於連接器外殼之母端子金屬件脫落,從而提升接合連接器之組合性。Therefore, the female terminal metal member attached to the connector housing can be prevented from coming off without special operations, thereby improving the combination of the joint connectors.

根據本發明之接合連接器,接合端子與母端子金屬件之嵌合連接係藉由於一端收容保持接合端子而於另一端***有母端子金屬件的單一連接器外殼所進行,因此若與使一對連接器外殼相互嵌合連接之習知之接合連接器相比,可削減零件之件數。According to the joint connector of the present invention, the fitting connection between the joint terminal and the female terminal metal member is performed by a single connector housing in which the female terminal metal member is inserted at the other end by the one end receiving and holding the joint terminal, and therefore The number of parts can be reduced as compared with a conventional joint connector in which the connector housings are fitted to each other.

又,母端子金屬件自連接器外殼之防脫,係藉由使裝備於母端子金屬件之***導引用突片彎折並卡合於連接器外殼之防脫用卡止面所進行。因此,不需要於連接器外殼裝備用以防止母端子金屬件脫落之矛形部。換言之,於將母端子金屬件***連接器外殼時,因為由矛形部所造成之阻礙未發生作用,因此母端子金屬件之***操作會變得容易,可實現組合性之提升。Further, the female terminal metal member is prevented from coming off the connector housing by bending the insertion guide tab provided on the female terminal metal member and engaging the retaining locking surface of the connector housing. Therefore, it is not necessary to equip the connector housing with a lance that prevents the female terminal metal from falling off. In other words, when the female terminal metal member is inserted into the connector housing, since the obstruction caused by the lance portion does not act, the insertion operation of the female terminal metal member becomes easy, and the combination can be improved.

又,藉由與連接器外殼之防脫用卡止面之卡合而防止母端子金屬件脫落的***導引用突片由於係金屬板製,因此若與藉由樹脂製之矛形部而防止母端子金屬件脫落之習知之接合連接器相比,可提高對於母端子金屬件之防脫強度。Moreover, since the insertion guide tab for preventing the female terminal metal member from coming off by the engagement with the retaining engagement surface of the connector housing is made of a metal plate, it is prevented from being formed by a resin-made lance portion.

The plurality of female terminal receiving holes 34 are holes in which the female terminal metal fitting 20 and the tab piece 11 are fitted in a state in which the female terminal metal fitting 20 is inserted into a predetermined position. Here, the predetermined position refers to a position at which the joint piece 11 and the box portion 21 are required to have a sufficient contact length for electrical connection.

於本實施形態之情形時,母端子收容孔34可利用低***力實施母端子金屬件20之***操作之方式,形成可供母端子金屬件20遊嵌之剖面形狀。In the case of the present embodiment, the female terminal accommodating hole 34 can be inserted into the female terminal metal member 20 by a low insertion force, and the cross-sectional shape of the female terminal metal member 20 can be formed.

如圖7所示,於母端子收容孔34設置有導引溝35與導引肋36。As shown in FIG. 7, the guide groove 35 and the guide rib 36 are provided in the female terminal receiving hole 34.

導引溝35係於將母端子金屬件20朝母端子收容孔34***時,可滑動地收容***導引用突片24,而將母端子金屬件20導引至規定位置。The guide groove 35 is configured to slidably receive the insertion guide tab 24 when the female terminal metal member 20 is inserted into the female terminal receiving hole 34, and guide the female terminal metal member 20 to a predetermined position.

又,於連接器外殼30之內部,在***至規定位置為止之母端子金屬件20之***導引用突片24之側方,如圖9所示,包含防脫用卡止面39。防脫用卡止面39係構成導引溝35之溝側壁35a之終端面。溝側壁35a之終端係於母端子金屬件20未到達規定位置時,以阻止由後述治具所導致***導引用突片24彎曲的方式設定終端位置。Further, inside the connector housing 30, the side of the insertion guide tab 24 of the female terminal metal fitting 20 inserted into the predetermined position is provided with a retaining engagement surface 39 as shown in FIG. The retaining engagement surface 39 constitutes a terminal surface of the groove side wall 35a of the guide groove 35. When the female terminal metal fitting 20 does not reach the predetermined position, the end of the groove side wall 35a prevents the insertion guide tab 24 from being bent by the jig to be described later.

導引肋36如圖5所示,係於接頭片11之前端附近***形成於母端子收容孔34底部的凸條。此導引肋36包含具備使***母端子收容孔34之箱部21之前端部爬上傾斜面36a的突起36b。As shown in FIG. 5, the guide rib 36 is embossed at the bottom of the female terminal receiving hole 34 in the vicinity of the front end of the tab 11. The guide rib 36 includes a projection 36b having a front end portion of the box portion 21 inserted into the female terminal receiving hole 34 to climb up the inclined surface 36a.

導引肋36之傾斜面36a及突起36b,係使***母端子收容孔34之箱部21之前端比既定位置後退,用以防止箱部21之前端之周緣部碰撞接頭片11之前端。即,導引肋36係為使***母端子收容孔34之母端子金屬件20之箱部21可順利地嵌合於接頭片11,而用以修正箱部21之前端之高度位置的位置對準構件。The inclined surface 36a and the projection 36b of the guide rib 36 are such that the front end of the box portion 21 inserted into the female terminal receiving hole 34 is retracted from a predetermined position to prevent the peripheral portion of the front end of the box portion 21 from colliding with the front end of the tab piece 11. That is, the guide rib 36 is such that the box portion 21 of the female terminal metal member 20 inserted into the female terminal receiving hole 34 can be smoothly fitted to the tab 11 to correct the positional position of the front end of the box portion 21 Quasi-components.

再者,於本實施形態之情形時,如圖5及圖6所示,於連接器外殼30之下表面壁,以與各母端子收容孔34連通之方式,對應於各母端子收容孔34之位置而具備有接頭片視認用窗部37、與治具插通孔38。Further, in the case of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the lower surface walls of the connector housing 30 correspond to the respective female terminal receiving holes 34 so as to communicate with the respective female terminal receiving holes 34. The position of the tab viewing window portion 37 and the jig insertion hole 38 are provided at the position.

接頭片視認用窗部37係於可目視接頭片11之前端部之位置開口,而可目視箱部21嵌合於接頭片11之狀態。The tab viewing window portion 37 is opened at a position before the front end of the viewable tab 11, and the visible box portion 21 is fitted to the tab 11 .

治具插通孔38係以使***至規定位置為止之母端子金屬件20之***導引用突片24及其周緣露出外表面之方式,貫通形成於外殼外壁之開口。The jig insertion hole 38 penetrates the opening formed in the outer wall of the casing so that the insertion guide tab 24 of the female terminal metal member 20 inserted into the predetermined position and the peripheral edge thereof are exposed to the outer surface.

***至規定位置為止之母端子金屬件20之***導引用突片24,係如圖9之箭頭R所示,藉由自治具插通孔38所***之治具41而朝防脫用卡止面39側彎折。藉由使因治具41而朝防脫用卡止面39側彎曲之***導引用突片24之彎曲部24a與防脫用卡止面39卡合,可防止母端子金屬件20脫落。The insertion guide tab 24 of the female terminal metal member 20 inserted into the predetermined position is locked by the jig 41 inserted by the autonomous device insertion hole 38 as indicated by an arrow R in FIG. The side of the face 39 is bent. By the engagement of the curved portion 24a of the insertion guide tab 24 that is bent toward the retaining engagement surface 39 by the jig 41 and the retaining engagement surface 39, the female terminal metal member 20 can be prevented from coming off.

於本實施形態之情形時,將治具41朝向治具插通孔38之***動作,係藉由圖8所示之連接器組合裝置40所進行。In the case of the present embodiment, the insertion operation of the jig 41 toward the jig insertion hole 38 is performed by the connector assembly device 40 shown in Fig. 8.

連接器組合裝置40包含感測器部42與未圖示之治具驅動部。The connector assembly device 40 includes a sensor unit 42 and a jig driving unit (not shown).

感測器部42包含:一端部抵接部44,其用以定位連接器外殼30之一端部31;彈簧部45,其當朝母端子金屬件20之***方向作用於連接器外殼30之負荷達到一定值以上時,可朝上述***方向(圖8之箭頭X1方向)移位地支撐該一端部抵接部44;及開關46,其藉由朝上述***方向移位之一端部抵接部44所按下。The sensor portion 42 includes an end portion abutting portion 44 for positioning one end portion 31 of the connector housing 30, and a spring portion 45 acting on the load of the connector housing 30 in the insertion direction of the female terminal metal member 20. When reaching a certain value or more, the one end abutting portion 44 can be displaceably displaced in the insertion direction (the direction of the arrow X1 in FIG. 8); and the switch 46 can be displaced in the insertion direction by one end abutting portion. 44 pressed.

以上所說明之感測器部42係如圖8所示,藉由一端部抵接部44使連接器外殼30之一端部31定位。而且,於將母端子金屬件20***母端子收容孔34時,藉由母端子金屬件20突抵到規定位置時所作用於連接器外殼30之負荷之變動而使一端部抵接部44朝向箭頭X1方向之移動並藉此將開關46按下。藉此,感測器部42可檢測到母端子金屬件20已到達規定位置。As described above, the sensor portion 42 is configured such that one end portion 31 of the connector housing 30 is positioned by the one end abutting portion 44. Further, when the female terminal metal fitting 20 is inserted into the female terminal accommodating hole 34, the one end abutting portion 44 is oriented by the variation of the load for the connector housing 30 when the female terminal metal member 20 protrudes to a predetermined position. Movement in the direction of arrow X1 and thereby pressing switch 46. Thereby, the sensor portion 42 can detect that the female terminal metal member 20 has reached the prescribed position.

構成連接器組合裝置40之未圖示之治具驅動部,使治具41可朝向連接器外殼30之治具插通孔38進退地被支撐,並於上述感測器部42檢測到母端子金屬件20已到達規定位置時,將治具41***治具插通孔38,使***導引用突片24彎曲成形。The jig driving unit (not shown) constituting the connector assembly device 40 allows the jig 41 to be supported forward and backward toward the jig insertion hole 38 of the connector housing 30, and the female terminal is detected at the sensor portion 42. When the metal member 20 has reached the predetermined position, the jig 41 is inserted into the jig insertion hole 38, and the insertion guide tab 24 is bent and formed.

根據以上所說明一實施形態之接合連接器1之構成,接合端子10與母端子金屬件20之嵌合連接,由於係藉由於一端收容保持接合端子10而於另一端***有母端子金屬件20的單一連接器外殼30所進行,因此若與使一對連接器外殼相互嵌合連接之習知之接合連接器相比,可削減零件之件數。According to the configuration of the joint connector 1 of the above-described embodiment, the joint terminal 10 is fitted to the female terminal metal member 20, and the female terminal metal member 20 is inserted at the other end by the one end receiving and holding the joint terminal 10 Since the single connector housing 30 is carried out, the number of parts can be reduced as compared with a conventional joint connector in which a pair of connector housings are fitted to each other.

又,母端子金屬件20自連接器外殼30之防脫,係藉由使裝備於母端子金屬件20之***導引用突片24彎折並卡合於連接器外殼30之防脫用卡止面39所進行。因此,可不需要於連接器外殼30裝備用以防止母端子金屬件20脫落之矛形部。換言之,於將母端子金屬件20***連接器外殼30時,因為由矛形部所造成之阻礙未發生作用,因此母端子金屬件20之***操作會變得容易,可實現組合性之提升。Further, the female terminal metal member 20 is prevented from coming off the connector housing 30 by bending the insertion guide tab 24 provided on the female terminal metal member 20 and engaging the connector housing 30. Face 39 is performed. Therefore, it is not necessary to equip the connector housing 30 with a lance that prevents the female terminal metal member 20 from coming off. In other words, when the female terminal metal member 20 is inserted into the connector housing 30, since the obstruction caused by the lance portion does not act, the insertion operation of the female terminal metal member 20 becomes easy, and the improvement in combination can be achieved.

又,藉由與連接器外殼30中不具有可撓性之防脫用卡止面39之卡合而防止母端子金屬件20脫落的***導引用突片24由於係金屬板製,因此若與藉由樹脂製之矛形部而防止母端子金屬件脫落的習知之接合連接器相比,可提高對於母端子金屬件20防止脫落之強度。Moreover, the insertion guide tab 24 for preventing the female terminal metal member 20 from coming off by the engagement with the retaining preventing surface 39 having no flexibility in the connector housing 30 is made of a metal plate, so The strength of the female terminal metal member 20 against falling off can be improved as compared with the conventional joint connector in which the female terminal metal member is prevented from coming off by the resin-made lance portion.

又,根據以上所說明一實施形態之接合連接器1之構成,藉由彎折而防止母端子金屬件20脫落之***導引用突片24,係於母端子金屬件20未到達母端子收容孔34之規定位置即在不完全***之狀態下,因為使***導引用突片24滑動之導引溝35之溝側壁35a會阻止彎曲,而使***導引用突片24無法彎折。Further, according to the configuration of the joint connector 1 of the above-described embodiment, the insertion guide tab 24 for preventing the female terminal metal member 20 from coming off by bending is attached to the female terminal metal member 20 without reaching the female terminal receiving hole. The predetermined position of 34 is in a state of not being fully inserted, because the groove side wall 35a of the guide groove 35 which slides the insertion guide tab 24 prevents bending, and the insertion guide tab 24 cannot be bent.

因此,可根據治具41能否使***導引用突片24彎折,檢測母端子金屬件20是否為半嵌合狀態。因此,由於可不需將專用之半嵌合檢測構造裝備於連接器外殼30,故可簡化連接器外殼30之構造。Therefore, whether or not the female lead metal fitting 20 can be half-fitted can be detected depending on whether or not the jig 41 can be bent by the jig 41. Therefore, since it is not necessary to equip the dedicated half-fit detection structure to the connector housing 30, the configuration of the connector housing 30 can be simplified.

又,根據以上所說明一實施形態所示之連接器組合裝置40之構成,若母端子金屬件20***至母端子收容孔34之規定位置為止,則感測器部42會檢測到上述情況,根據感測器部42之檢測信號進行動作之未圖示之治具驅動部會自動地將治具41***治具插通孔38,使母端子金屬件20之***導引用突片24成形為既定之彎折形狀,從而防止母端子金屬件20之脫落。Further, according to the configuration of the connector assembly device 40 of the above-described embodiment, when the female terminal metal member 20 is inserted into the predetermined position of the female terminal receiving hole 34, the sensor portion 42 detects the above. The jig driving unit (not shown) that operates based on the detection signal of the sensor unit 42 automatically inserts the jig 41 into the jig insertion hole 38, and the insertion guide tab 24 of the female terminal metal member 20 is formed into The bent shape is formed to prevent the female terminal metal member 20 from coming off.

因此,不需進行特別地操作便可防止裝接於連接器外殼30之母端子金屬件20脫落,從而提高接合連接器1之組合性。Therefore, the female terminal metal member 20 attached to the connector housing 30 can be prevented from coming off without special operation, thereby improving the combination of the joint connector 1.

再者,本發明之接合連接器1或連接器組合裝置40並不限定於上述各實施形態,可進行適當之變形、改良等。Further, the joint connector 1 or the connector assembly device 40 of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be appropriately modified, improved, and the like.

例如,於連接器組合裝置40中,使***至規定位置為止之***導引用突片24彎折之治具41亦可為以手動進行進退操作之構造。For example, in the connector assembly device 40, the jig 41 in which the insertion guide tab 24 inserted into the predetermined position is bent may be configured to be manually advanced and retracted.

雖然已參照特定之實施態樣詳細地說明本發明,但熟悉本技藝者應明白可在不脫離本發明之精神與範圍之狀態下施加各種變更或修正。Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

本申請案係基於2011年2月15日所申請之日本專利申請案(日本專利特願2011-030098)者,其內容係以參照之形式寫入此文中。The present application is based on a Japanese patent application filed on Feb. 15, 2011 (Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-030098), the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.

(產業上之可利用性)(industrial availability)

根據本發明之接合連接器,由於接合端子與母端子金屬件之嵌合連接,係藉由於一端收容保持接合端子而於另一端***有母端子金屬件的單一連接器外殼所進行,因此若與使一對連接器外殼相互嵌合連接之習知之接合連接器相比,可削減零件之件數。According to the joint connector of the present invention, since the mating connection of the joint terminal and the female terminal metal member is performed by a single connector housing in which the female terminal member is inserted at the other end and the female terminal member is inserted at the other end, The number of parts can be reduced as compared with a conventional joint connector in which a pair of connector housings are fitted to each other.
