Promptly, put the mobile process to clamping coordination from half latched position at slide block 150, the base end part 172 of stop pin 170 slides according to the order of bottom surface 182a, inclined plane 182b, bottom surface 182c, bottom surface 182d, bottom surface 182e.When arriving bottom surface 182d, can not return bottom surface 182c.And then to become ladder poor if surpass bottom surface 182d, becomes the bottom surface 182e with plane lower than bottom surface 182.
Bottom surface 182e by to card insert opening 102 side-prominent overlook the time be V word shape inwall form V-shaped valley.Put the mobile process to clamping coordination from half latched position (card insert opening side position) at slide block 150, the base end part 172 of stop pin 170 can not return bottom surface 182d under the situation that has arrived bottom surface 182e.The state that base end part 172 has arrived the bottom surface 182e of V-shaped valley 34 becomes the lock-out state or the confined state of card 200.Like this, the track of base end part 172 from bottom surface 182a to bottom surface 182e becomes the journey track.
It is poor to form ladder between bottom surface 182e and bottom surface 182f, and bottom surface 182f is the face lower than bottom surface 182e.With with this bottom surface 182f continuously and to form to the oblique inclined-plane of card insertion direction inclination from the mode that bottom surface 182f erects be bottom surface (inclined plane) 182g.Insertion oral-lateral at this inclined plane 182g forms the bottom surface 182h with plane higher than inclined plane 182g.Card insert opening 102 sides at this bottom surface 182h dispose the bottom surface 182a that forms the ladder difference and have the plane lower than bottom surface 182h.
Therefore, if overcome the active force of helical spring 160 and will block 200 inboards that further are inserted into connector 100 rear side just, then the base end part 172 of stop pin 170 discharges from V-shaped valley 34, and slide according to the order of bottom surface 182e, bottom surface 182f, inclined plane 182g, bottom surface 182h, turn back on the 182a of bottom surface.
Like this, heart-shaped cam slot part 180 contact point that forms the stop pin 170 that slides on the bottom surface is described in the heart-shaped planar obit simulation on short transverse the part and is described irreversible track.
In addition, heart-shaped cam slot part 180 in connector 100, be configured in the card leading section that is contained in the accommodation section 104 and along the side side (being the side on right side during top view card insert opening 102) of connector 100 between the helical spring 160 that direction of insertion is extended.
Just, in connector 100, folding and unfolding accommodation section 104 and comprise and dispose more rationally on housing 110 to the locking mechanism portion 140 of the helical spring 160 of slide block 150 reinforcings and heart-shaped cam slot part 180.
Therefore, in connector 100, the approximate length of width that the transverse width of this connector 100 forms the length that the transverse width and the transverse width of locking mechanism portion 140 with card 200 self are lumped together has realized miniaturization, and has realized the save spaceization of installing space.
Be configured in slide block 150 on the base plate 112 of housing 110 of said structure by top plate portion 121 (with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) from the shell 120 of top covering shell 110, the mobile of direction is restricted up and down, and only the horizontal direction on the leading section 117a of fore-and-aft direction and slit 117 moves freely.
Fig. 8 represents the stereogram of the connector shell of present embodiment.
At the top plate portion 121 of shell 120, form otch 122a (with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 8) at the position relative of the slide block 150 that is positioned at half latched position with slider body 152, in this otch 122a, be provided with the tongue piece 122 of evening up with top plate portion 121.
In addition, at the top plate portion 121 of shell 120, relative with heart-shaped cam slot part 180 up position is formed with pin compressing piece 124,126.124,126 pairs of stop pins 170 (with reference to Fig. 2) that move with slide block 150 interlocks of pin compressing piece are exerted pressure from the top, and stop pin 170 is pressed into heart-shaped cam slot part 180, and it is slided on the bottom surface of this heart-shaped cam groove 180.Also have, pawl pressing tablet 128 is elastomeric elements (leaf spring) of the long size band shape that processes of the part to the side surface part of shell 120, and in half latched position, the slide block 150 that helical spring 160 is forwards pushed is pressed into accommodation section 104 sides.
Promptly, the slide block 150 that is positioned at half latched position makes locking claw 155 under the outstanding state in accommodation section 104, become the pressing force that overcomes pawl pressing tablet 128 and swing the state that freely disposes.Therefore, as shown in Figure 1, be positioned at slide block 150 under the state of half latched position, insert accommodation section 104 if will block 200, then the jag of the locking claw 155 of strain cooperates with the cooperating recesses 220 of card 200 freely to cooperate or freely to remove the mode that cooperates, and can plug maintenance freely (half locking) card 200.
In the card connector 100 that constitutes like this, in order to assemble or half locking card 200 and at movable part, on helical spring 160, apply lubricant here.
Lubricant is semisolid lubricants (lubricating grease) preferably, is applied to the moving part that the sliding part that comprises helical spring 160 grades.Decay the thus active force of helical spring 160 reduces by the active force of helical spring 160 to the translational speed of discharging the mobile slide block 150 of direction (B direction shown in Figure 1).Specifically, in the telescopic spring zone, apply lubricant at the whole face of the helical spring 160 of extended configuration.
Lubricant has when because of viscosity the card that flicks (to direction of insertion) lock-out state at card 200 At time of eject, with finger tip being unlocked, because the viscosity that the active force of helical spring 160 reduces to the force of mobile slide block 150 of card pull-off direction (discharge direction) and card 200.Thus, can not stay and push vestige and can prevent flying out of this card 200 on surface from connector card 200.Also have, lubricant also can be applied to the following position of sliding of the following and slide block 150 of slide block 150 on base plate 112.The translational speed of slide block 150 self can be reduced thus, flying out of card 200 can be prevented more effectively.
If card 200 is inserted into card connector 100, then with regard to the slide block 150 of half latched position, locking claw 155 is in the side slip of card 200, thereby enters cooperating recesses 220 and cooperate with cooperating recesses 220 from blocking 200 jut 230.Thus, card 200 self keeps being maintained at locking claw 155 (with reference to Fig. 1) with plug half lock state freely.
Card 200 is further inserted the card connector 100 of the state of partly locking shown in Figure 1 along the direction shown in the arrow A among the figure.So slide block 150 overcomes the active force of helical spring 160 under locking claw 155 and the state that cooperating recesses 220 cooperates and is guided by slit 117 and move to direction of insertion making.If slide block 150 reaches and clamps coordination and put, then base end part 172 fastenings of stop pin 170 are on V-shaped valley 34, and the electrode below the front in the card 200 contacts with a plurality of contacts (cantilever contact) 130, blocks 200 and is assembled.And at this moment, the rearward end of slide block 150 is positioned at the stretching region of helical spring 160.
Block under 200 the state having assembled like this, insert to direction of insertion again, blocked then that 200 slide blocks of pushing 150 overcome helical spring active force and side shifting inwards if further will block 200.Thus, the base end part 172 (bending axle) of following the stop pin 170 that slide block 150 moves breaks away from from V-shaped valley 34, describes the backhaul track by the active force of helical spring 160, and slide block 150 moves to the pull-off direction by the active force of helical spring 160.Thus, slide block 150 usefulness bearing surfaces will block 200 jut 230 to be pushed to the pull-off direction, and with locking claw 155 side of cooperating recesses 220 is pushed to the pull-off direction, and card 200 self moves to the pull-off direction.
Like this, the active force of slide block 150 by helical spring 160 put and moved to half latched position from clamping coordination, but this moment, its translational acceleration is suppressing mobile for lubricated dose.
In addition,, just resist the power of pull-off direction, so the mobile acceleration of pull-off direction is further suppressed (with reference to Fig. 1) owing on slide block 150, apply by the pressing force of pawl pressing tablet 128 to card 200 sides.Like this, in card connector 100, the locomotivity decay of the slide block 150 when pawl pressing tablet 128 makes the active force of the helical spring 160 of having decayed by lubricant and slide block 150 put the locomotivity of the occasion of returning half latched position and just block discharging operation from clamping coordination.
In this card connector 100, the assembling action by repeating card 200 and block 200 discharging operation, slide block 150 is in half latched position and clamp coordination and move between putting, and follows this to move, and helical spring 160 stretches.Follow the flexible of helical spring 160, be coated in the stretching region that lubricant on the helical spring 160 spreads to helical spring 160, come in and gone out and pushes in the slide block 150 of this stretching region.Thus, lubricant is pushed out into the top plate portion 121 that covers stretching region and attached to this top plate portion 121.
Here, in the base plate 112 of housing 110, at the position that slide block 150 slides, part (stretching region of helical spring 160) that helical spring 160 stretches and the part that constitutes accommodation section 104 are cut apart by slit 117 (with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5).
Therefore, lubricant is stretched and attached on below the slide block 150 from the stretching region of helical spring 160, by capillarity can from the slipper of slide block 150 (below) stretch to accommodation section 104 sides, but separated by slit 117.Thus, lubricant can't arrive accommodation section 104.Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, can not stretch from flexible part (stretching region of helical spring 160) side direction accommodation section 104 sides of helical spring 160 (direction of representing with arrow C).
Fig. 9 is that moving of slide block passed through in expression, attached to the figure that stretches of the lubricant F on the top plate portion 121.Also have, same with direction and Fig. 1 that arrow A, B represent, arrow A is represented card insertion direction, and arrow B is represented card discharge direction.
As shown in Figure 9, on the slider body 152 of slide block 150, slide block 150 is accompanied by moving of slide block 150 in the stretching region of helical spring 160 attached to the lubricant on the top plate portion 121, shown in arrow F1 like that attached on the slide block 150.And lubricant flows in the grooving portion 154 (reference arrow F2), is separated and is directed into grooving portion 154 by divider wall parts 157, and be stored in the grooving portion 154.
Therefore, attached to even the lubricant slide block 150 on the top plate portion 121 moves in this position above attached to slide block 150, can between top plate portion 121 and the slide block 150 that moves capillarity not take place, therefore can not expand, but the direction to arrow F4 is expanded in grooving portion 154 to the direction of arrow F3.
Therefore, lubricant is stretched to accommodation section 104 sides between can be above top plate portion 121 and slide block 150.
Like this, even repeat card 200 is inserted in the accommodation section 104 of card connector 100, maybe will be assemblied in the action that the cards 200 in the accommodation section 104 are discharged from the accommodation section, lubricant can be attached on the card 200 that is plugged yet.
In addition, top plate portion 121 is split into the stretching region side and accommodation section 104 sides of helical spring 160 at the moving area of slide block 150 by otch 122a when overlooking.Therefore, though lubricant from helical spring 160 sides attached to top plate portion 121, also can prevent to expand to accommodation section 104 sides.
Connector of the present invention is not limited to the respective embodiments described above, can carry out various changes and enforcement.Also have, the invention described above only otherwise breaking away from aim of the present invention just can carry out various changes, and is certain, the invention of the present invention after comprising this change.
