Next, the function of present embodiment is described.
When lever 40 being assemblied on first shell 10, lever 40 is arranged so that another (right side) projection 51R is positioned at the front end place, and nearer from the top and first shell 10.Like this, as shown in accompanying drawing 1, lever main body part 41 to small part is assembled to laterally in the space between (left side and right) pressing part 22R, 22L; Another (right side) projection 51R is assembled in the notch 16 to small part; One or more, preferably a pair of direction protrusion 55 to small part is assembled in the recess 23; And dead eye 42 cooperates with bolster 19, makes the maintenance projection 19a of bolster 19 pass gap between a pair of maintenance edge 42a of dead eye 42 simultaneously.Resulting position is the installation site MP of lever 40.In this state, pushing of lower surface by being subjected to lever main body 41, flexible locking piece 20 downward strains, and the lateral part of operation part 44 but (preferably being right half part substantially) be at least partially housed in the spatial accommodation 26, but and the relative part of operation part 33 (preferably being left-half substantially) is outstanding backward from the rear end surface of first shell 10.Lever main body 41 best near small parts be placed on tubulose assembled portion 13 laterally (on) outer surface of wall 13W, first horizontal (left side) bearing 17L and central authorities or intermediate support 17C or horizontal (on) on the surface, but be not placed on the upper surface of second horizontal (right side) bearing 17R.
In this state, but the horizontal promotion (left) that (left side) finger part 46 of operation part 44 is subjected to or can be pointed, thus lever 40 preferably turns clockwise around bolster 19 or rotates about 45 degree, will move to holding fix SP.In rotation process, the external peripheral surface of lever main body 41 is (left side and/or right) curved edge part 22La substantially transversely, 22Ra slides, simultaneously lever main body 41 preferably not only be placed on substantially tubulose assembled portion 13 laterally (on) wall 13W, first (left side) bearing 17L and central authorities or intermediate support 17C outer (on) on the surface, and be placed on second (right side) bearing 17R outer (on) on the surface, and flexible locking piece 20 slides into substantially with the lower surface of lever main body 41 and contacts substantially, simultaneously outwards basic or down to the small part strain, as shown in accompanying drawing 19 (a).When lever 40 arrives holding fix SP, the returning of lever 40 prevents that part 52 is basic and cooperates with the locking projection 20a of flexible locking piece 20 of elastic return on (Return-ing direction) in the counterclockwise direction, as shown in accompanying drawing 2 and 19 (B), and this cooperation prevents that the lever 40 that is positioned at holding fix SP place from returning towards installation site MP (counter clockwise direction or Return-ing direction) with respect to first shell 10.At holding fix SP place, the extending end of elastic locking spare 54 (cooperates direction) in the clockwise direction with the holding portion 18 of first shell 10 and goes up cooperation, as shown in accompanying drawing 2 and 18 (a), and this cooperation prevents that preferably the lever 40 that is positioned at holding fix SP place from rotating towards link position CP (clockwise direction or cooperation direction) with respect to first shell 10.In this way, preferably lever 40 can be remained on holding fix SP place, prevent from simultaneously rotating forward with on the rightabout.
Similarly, remain at lever 40 under the situation at holding fix SP place, the front portion of operation part 44 but (preferably being right first half substantially) is at least partially housed in the spatial accommodation 26, and the rear end surface of its rear portion (preferably being that a left side is latter half of substantially) to small part from first shell 10 is outstanding backward, as shown in accompanying drawing 2.And, the maintenance edge 42a of dead eye 42 is from following or inboardly cooperate with the maintenance projection 19a of bolster 19 substantially, and horizontal (a right and/or left side) projection 51R, 51L is assembled to laterally among (a right and/or left side) direction recess 24R, 24L to small part respectively, thereby pressing part 22R, 22L cooperate with the upper surface of projection 51R, 51L.These cooperations can prevent lever 40 with respect to upwards the relatively moving of first shell 10 (perhaps moving along the rotation axis of lever 40) substantially, and promptly it breaks away from from first shell 10.And the inlet 43a basic side that has formed cam groove 43 forward, with the state of basic side to notch 16, promptly allows cam follower 64 to enter the state of cam groove 43 from the front to small part.
Under this state SP, second shell 60 is connected with first shell 10 from the front.After connecting, socket 62 slightly is assembled in the assembling recess 14.Like this, cam follower 64 is by the gap between the direction protrusion 55, so that small part enters among the inlet 43a of cam groove 43, as shown in accompanying drawing 4, and the cancellation part that enters notch 16 to small part contacts with the lower surface of elastic locking spare 54 substantially, to make progress or outside resilient movement elastic locking spare 54, as shown in accompanying drawing 18 (b).The resilient movement of elastic locking spare 54 is the interlocking state of elastic locking spare 54 and holding portion 18, prevents that promptly lever 40 (cooperating on the direction) from cancelling substantially from the state that holding fix SP turns to link position CP.
Subsequently, can operate obliquely or but horizontal (left side) that promote operation part 44 pointed and to be prevented part 46L to the left front with finger, but thereby by will operation part 44 around bolster 19 preferably clockwise (cooperation direction) rotate about 45 degree, make lever 40 on the cooperation direction, move or move to link position CP towards link position CP.Along with the rotation of lever 40, second shell 60 is pushed in first shell 10 by the cam action that cooperation caused (the extraordinarily action of power) of cam groove 43 and cam follower 64.When lever 40 arrived the link position places, two shells 10,60 arrived correct connection status, and tongue piece 63a enters rectangular tube part 31 to small part, to be electrically connected male terminal joint 63 and female terminal fitting 30.In other words, but can realize or help the connection of two shells 10,60 as the operation of the lever 40 of preferred control member.
In the process of rotating lever 40, elastic locking spare 54 (to the right) transversely slantingly backward moves, and contacts with the upper surface slide of cancellation part 65 and holding portion 18, makes progress simultaneously or outside resilient movement.When lever 40 is basic when arriving link position CP, elastic locking spare 54 is to the small part elastic return, so that small part falls into or enter and withdraw from recess 21, as shown in accompanying drawing 20.And another (right side) projection 51R is retained to small part and is assembled among (right side) direction recess 24R, and (right side) direction protrusion 55 a to small part is assembled among (right side) direction recess 24R, is assembled among the direction recess 24L of another (left side) thereby (left side) projection 51L is retained to small part.In this way, prevent that preferably the periphery of lever 40 from rising (upwards separating from first shell 10), thereby can stably rotate or operation or actuating linkage 40.
Similarly, in the process of link position CP rotating lever 40, locking projection 20a relatively moves towards lock arm 47 in withdrawing from groove 53 on cooperating direction, and flexible locking piece 20 is not carried out resilient movement.Preferably just before lever 40 arrives link position CP, the front end of locking projection 20a and lock arm 47 is interfering with each other.At this moment, owing to the front end that is assembled to the upper wall that assembles the socket 62 in the recess 14 to small part contacts with flexible locking piece 20 substantially from following, so prevented the downward or outside resilient movement of flexible locking piece 20.Therefore, the front end of lock arm 47 moves past locking projection 20a, and lock arm 47 resilient movement upwards.
When lever 40 basic arrival link position CP places, flexible locking piece 20 makes locking projection 20a contact with lock hole 49 substantially with lock arm 47 strains, as shown in accompanying drawing 3 and 21.At this moment, the edge of lock hole 49 contacts on (release direction) in the counterclockwise direction with locking projection 20a substantially, and this cooperation prevents that the lever 40 that is positioned at link position CP place is back to holding fix SP (counter clockwise direction or release direction) backward with respect to first shell 10.At this moment and since socket 62 from following contact preventing with it downwards basic the or resilient movement that outwards (breaks away from the direction that cooperates) of flexible locking piece 20 with lock hole 49, so locking projection 20a and lock hole 49 can unexpectedly each other not break away from cooperation.And corresponding (left side) end of horizontal (left side) finger placement part 46L and supporting part 45 (cooperation direction) in the clockwise direction upward cooperates with the rear end surface of first horizontal (left side) bearing 17L substantially.In this way, lever 40 is locked in link position CP place substantially, prevents that simultaneously it from rotating forward with on the rightabout.Similarly, be positioned at lever 40 under the situation at link position CP place, but preferably whole substantially operation part 44 is contained in the spatial accommodation 26, but and the rear end surface of operation part 44 (supporting part 45 and laterally (left side and right) finger placement part 46L, 46R) concordant with the rear end surface of the seal tower part 25 of first shell 10 substantially.
For two shells 10,60 connected to one another are separated, with the finger from the outside or the top finger contact portion 50 of lock arm 47 is pushed downwards or inwardly, thereby lock arm 47 makes progress or outside resilient movement, so that breaking away from locking projection 20a, lock hole 49 cooperates, make lock arm 47 distortion in complex way, shown in the platform in the accompanying drawing 21.So, allow lever 40 to move, and can rotate or rotation towards holding fix SP in this state towards holding fix SP (Return-ing direction).In rotation or rotary course, the cam action that cooperation caused of cam follower 64 and cam groove 43 promotes second shell 60 forward with respect to first shell 10, thereby makes two shells 10,60 separate, and perhaps helps to separate.
As mentioned above, because in the present embodiment, the flexibility or the elastic locking spare 20 that are arranged on first shell 10 cooperate or can cooperate with it with the lock arm 47 of lever 40, with with lever 40 locking be positioned at link position CP place or its near, so except flexible locking piece 20, first shell 10 does not need to be provided with the locking device of special use.So, be provided with the anti-locking apparatus of returning of special use with first shell and compare with the situation of the special locking device that uses, can simplify the shape of first shell 10 in the present embodiment.
And, under first shell 10 and situation that second shell 60 is connected, second shell 60 and flexible locking piece 20 contact or cooperation or interaction prevent or hindered flexible locking piece 20 breaking away from mobile on the direction that cooperates with lock arm 47.Therefore, the reliability of the lock function of the cooperation of flexible locking piece and lock arm 47 is higher.
Lever 40 is being moved to the process of holding fix SP from installation site MP, and flexible locking piece 20 prevents part 52 by returning, simultaneously strain.When lever 40 is basic when arriving holding fix SP places, flexible locking piece 20 is to the small part elastic return, returns with cooperation and prevents part 52, thereby prevent that lever 40 is back to installation site MP (release direction or Return-ing direction) from holding fix SP.Owing to lever 40 is being moved in the process at holding fix SP place, first shell 10 and lever 40 do not need to relatively move, with separated from one another, so because first shell 10 and lever 40 relatively moving on detaching direction, this has prevented the distortion of coupling part of first shell 10 and lever 40.
At lever is basic U-shaped, and shell is remained on wherein and be bearing under the situation on the shell by axle support structure, lever is installed on the shell, simultaneously two arms all strain to widen spacing therebetween.So assembly manipulation is relatively poor.In contrast, because lever 40 be a plate shape substantially in the present embodiment, thereby an outer surface just to small part along first shell extends, thus elasticity of demand distortion lever 40, thus installation and assembly manipulation are better.
Cam follower 64 to small part is entered in the process in the cam groove 43, and the cancellation part 65 of second shell 60 makes elastic locking spare 54 strains that connect anti-locking apparatus, thereby allows lever 40 to move or move to link position CP towards link position CP.Therefore, the anti-locking apparatus of connection can not be cancelled this and prevent state, has caused operability preferably.
In the process of shift lever 40, projection 51L, 51R assemble or are inserted among direction recess 24L, the 24R to small part, move from first shell 10 on detaching direction to prevent lever 40.So, can stablize moving of lever 40.
Because lock arm 47 and flexible locking piece 20 are arranged near the office, auxiliary section of (left side) projection 51L and another (left side) direction recess 24L or its, so near (left side) projection 51L of lock arm 47 and flexible locking piece 20 and the cooperation of another (left side) direction recess 24L prevent that safely the lever 40 and first shell 10 from relatively moving on detaching direction.Therefore, lock arm 47 and flexible locking piece 20 can stably cooperate, and lever 40 can be locked in link position CP place safely.
And, note the following fact, shell comprises that terminal-containing section 11 and seal tower part 25 have the height shorter than terminal-containing section 11, and seal tower part 25 moves with respect to terminal-containing section 11 horizontal or downward (towards set maybe with the relative substantially side, side that is provided with lever 40), spatial accommodation 26 is limited to seal tower part 25 tops, and in the present embodiment, but thicker operation part 44 be at least partially housed in this spatial accommodation 26.Adopt this structure, partly be arranged on the situation on the terminal-containing section equal height with seal tower and compare, can guarantee that spatial accommodation 26 has bigger height, but and by will operation part 44 horizontal (on) surface alignment is in lower or inside position, can reduce the height of whole lever-type connector.
And, because the basic side of seal tower part 25 is made thinlyyer than other zone to the upper area of spatial accommodation 26, so but the position that can reduce operation part 44, to realize further reducing of whole lever-type connector height.
Lever 40 is being remained under the situation of link position CP substantially, but operation part 44 be at least partially housed in the spatial accommodation 26, but and the outer surface of operation part 44 (rear end surface) preferably basic concordant with the outer surface (rear end surface) of first shell 10.So, but exterior materials can not be disturbed operation part 44, for example from following, but and can prevent that disturbing operation part 44 because of exterior materials causes lever 40 to break away from from first shell 10.
Therefore, in order to simplify the shape of lever-type connector, be provided with and return anti-locking apparatus (preferably flexible locking piece 20 and/or put back to prevent part 52) and locking or positioner (preferably flexible locking piece 20 and/or lock arm 47), this returns anti-locking apparatus and is used to prevent that lever 40 from turning back to installation site MP from holding fix SP, and this locking or positioner are used for lever 40 lockings or are positioned at link position CP place.The flexible locking piece 20 of first shell 10 (returning anti-locking apparatus, locking device) (member) cooperates or can cooperate with it with the lock arm 47 (another member) of lever 40, thereby lever 40 is locked in link position CP place.Because except flexible locking piece 20, shell 10 does not need to be provided with the locking device of special use, so can simplify the shape of first shell 10.
In addition, in order to reduce the height of lever-type connector, should be noted that the following fact, shell 10 comprises terminal-containing section 11 and has than the terminal-containing section 11 seal tower part 25 of low height more, sealing tower section 25 moves downwards or away from lever 40 with respect to terminal-containing section 11, with spatial accommodation 26 is limited to seal tower part 25 tops or side the place, but and thicker operation part 44 can be at least partially housed in this spatial accommodation 26.Adopt this structure, partly be arranged on the situation on the terminal-containing section equal height with seal tower and compare, can guarantee that spatial accommodation 26 has big height, but and by will operation part 44 horizontal (on) surface alignment is in lower or more inside position or away from the position of the set side of lever 40, can reduce the height of whole lever-type connector.
