Definitions
- This invention relates to electrical connectors and a connector to which a cam member is attached.
- it relates to connectors with cam members whose housings can be completely engaged by little force with the housing of a mating connector by manipulating the slide-type cam member.
- This sort of connector with a slide-type cam member is configured like the connectors disclosed in Japanese UM Publication No. 6-11275 and No. 6-54255, for example, so that the housing can be completely engaged with the housing of a mating connector by sliding or moving the cam member from a first and open position, from which the cam member can be connected with the housing of the mating connector, that is in a temporarily engaged position to the closed position, whereby the cam member is moved into a position at which it completely engages with the housing of the mating connector.
- Japanese UM Publication No. 6-11275 discloses a connector with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- the object of this invention is to provide a connector with a cam member that enables the worker to quickly and correctly verify that the slide-type cam member was moved to the completely closed or connected position and that the connection with the mating connector was properly made.
- An electrical connector assembly is disclosed in US-A-4586771 and comprises first and second connector housings and a camming slide for mating and unmating the housings.
- the first housing has flanges extending from the mating face thereof and has slots in the flanges which receive cam followers on the cam slide.
- the second housing has cam tracks in its sidewalls which also receive the cam follows.
- the camming slide has a web which is spaced from the rear face of the second housing and arms which extend from the web across the sidewalls of the second housing and which overlap the flanges on the first housing.
- the cam followers project from the internal surfaces of the arms and extend through the slots and are dimensioned to be received in the camming slots on the second housing.
- Recessed surfaces are located on the inner surfaces of the arms and projections are provided at left hand ends of the recesses which ride over projections on the flanges thereby retaining the camming slide in position when the housings are at a mated condition.
- An electrical connector housing assembly is also disclosed in US-A-5244400 which comprises a male housing, a female housing in which the male housing is movably fitted, a cam member is movably fitted on the female housing so that the cam member can be moved relative thereto in order to fasten both housings together, and a detecting member being provided on the cam member and the female housing for detecting whether both housings are completed mated to each other.
- a connector assembly with a cam member of the present invention comprises connectors whose housings can be completely engaged by sliding a slide-type cam member attached to one of the housings from a first position to a closed position, wherein the cam member is provided with a resilient latch, which is positioned outside of the housing.
- the latch member When the cam member has been moved to the closed position, the latch member has a first surface that extends in a direction nearly parallel to the direction in which the cam member slides and is resiliently deformable in a direction nearly perpendicular to the direction of sliding.
- the housing is also provided with a latch section, which has a second surface that extends in a direction nearly parallel to the direction of sliding.
- the resilient latch member is provided with a protrusion, and it bends and deforms in a direction nearly perpendicular to the resilient latch member as it engages against the latch section when the cam member is slid from the first position to the closed position; the latch section is provided with a hole or aperture that receives the protrusion when the cam member is moved to the closed position, thereby causing the resilient latch member to be restored to its original state.
- the second surface of the latch section preferably is provided at a position where it will produce an audible sound when it comes in contact with the first surface of the resilient latch member when it has been restored to its original state.
- Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of a disassembled connector with cam member and a mating connector.
- Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing the assembled connectors and the connector with the cam member in a first position.
- Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 showing the connector with the cam member in the closed position.
- Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 4-4 of Figure 2.
- Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along 5-5 of Figure 3.
- Figure 6 is an exploded perspective view of another embodiment of a disassembled connector with cam member.
- Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the resilient member the contact section of the connector of Figure 6 when they are connected together.
- Figure 8 is a view similar to Figure 6 showing a further embodiment of a disassembled connector with cam member.
- Connector 10 shown in Figure 1 is provided with a female-type housing 12 that has a recessed section 11 into which the male-type housing 21 of mating connector 20 is inserted.
- a female-type housing 12 that has a recessed section 11 into which the male-type housing 21 of mating connector 20 is inserted.
- insertion openings 14 and 23 are located on the upper sides of housing 12 and housing 21 of the mating connector 20, insertion openings 14 and 23 are located.
- the insertion openings 14 and 23 are for insertion of double lock members 13 and 22, which prevent backing out of the terminals (not shown in the drawing) that are inserted into the housings 12 and 21.
- a sliding cam member 30, which can slide along the housing 12 (directions shown by arrows A and B in the drawing) within the recessed section 11, is attached to the housing 12.
- This cam member 30 has an upper wall section 31 and a lower wall section 32 that extend parallel from a side wall section 33 that joins the upper and lower wall sections.
- Two cam grooves 34 are located in both the upper wall section 31 and lower wall section 32. The depictions of the cam grooves 34 are simplified.
- two follower pins 24, which go into the cam grooves 34 of the cam member 30, are located on both the top and bottom of the front edge of the housing 21 of the mating connector 20 (the bottom part is omitted from the drawing).
- two guide grooves 15, which are for guiding the follower pins 24 within the cam grooves 34 of the cam member 30, are located at both the top and bottom of the front edge of the housing 12.
- Figures 2 and 3 depict the action of the cam member 30.
- Figure 2 shows the cam member when it is in a first position
- Figure 3 shows the cam member when it is moved into the closed position.
- Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the main parts of the cam member 30 at the first position;
- Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the cam member at the closed position.
- the sliding cam member 30 is attached to the housing 12 in such a way that the cam member can slide in the A and B directions shown in the drawings, i.e. between the first position shown in Figure 2 and the closed position as shown in Figure 3.
- Latch member 40 which extends in the B direction from the upper end of the side wall section 33 and extends from a position above the upper wall section 31 in a direction nearly parallel to the upper wall section 31, is located on the cam member 30, as shown clearly in Figure 1, and forms a unit with the cam member 30.
- Latch member 40 has a first surface 41 that faces upwards, a protrusion 42, which has a bevelled surface 42a formed on the edge of that first surface 41, and a protrusion 43 formed at the back of the first surface 41.
- a plate-shaped latch section 50 that extends in a direction nearly parallel to the upper surface 12a of the housing 12 is located on the upper part of the housing 12 and forms a unit with the housing 12.
- This latch section 50 is joined to the housing 12 on three of the four surrounding sides by the front wall 51, which extends upwards from the front edge of the housing 12; the back wall 52, which faces to front wall 51; and the joining wall 53, which joins the front wall 51 and the back wall 52.
- a hole or aperture 54 is located in the central part of the latch section 50 and receives the protrusion 42 on the latch member 40 of the cam member 30.
- a second surface 55 is located on the latch section 50. Second surface 55 comes into contact with the first surface 41 of the latch member 40 and makes an audible sound when the protrusion 42 of the latch member 40 and the aperture 54 are engaged as shown in Figure 5.
- the cam member 30 that has moved into the closed position can be slid in the A direction to return it back to the first position by pushing the protrusion 43 of latch member 40 down thereby bending the latch member 40 downward and undoing the connection between the protrusion 41 of the latch member 40 and the aperture 54 of the latch section 50; and with that movement the two completely engaged connectors 10 and 20 can be disconnected.
- the only differences between connector 10A of this embodiment and the aforementioned first embodiment are the configuration of the latch member 40A of the cam member 30A, and the latch section 50A of the housing 12A.
- the latch member 40A of the cam member 30A extends in the B direction from the upper edge of the side wall section 33 of the cam member 30A and extends in a position above the upper wall section 31 in a direction nearly parallel to the upper wall section 31.
- the latch member 40A has its first surface 41 on the side facing the upper wall section 31; a protrusion 42 that has a bevelled surface 42a and protrudes downward is formed on the first surface 41.
- the latch section 50A of the housing 12A is configured so that it can resiliently move in such a way that it will bend a great deal up or down, a point that differs from the first embodiment.
- an aperture 54 is formed in the central part of the latch section 50A, and aperture 54 receives the protrusion 42 of the latch member 40A to connect with it, but the second surface 55, which makes an audible sound when contact is made with the first surface 41 of latch member 40A, is formed on the upper side of the latch section 50A.
- the latch member 40 enters the latch section 50 from the lower side, and protrusion 42 engages the aperture 54 from the lower side.
- the latch member 40A overlaps the upper side of the latch section 50A, and protrusion 42 is formed in such a way that it engages the aperture 54 from the upper side.
- a detailed explanation of the functions of the latch member 40A and the latch section 50A are omitted because they are the same as in the first embodiment.
- the latch section 50A is configured so that it is resilient, there is an advantage in that the audible sound is easily produced when the first surface 41 of the latch member 40A and the second surface 55 of the latch section 50A come into contact with each other.
- the protrusion 42 of the latch member 40A may be detached from the aperture 54 by pressing down on the latch member 40A from above and bending both the latch member 40A and the latch section 50A downward.
- the latch member 40B of the cam member 30B is formed at a position that is shifted toward the rear of the upper wall section 31 of the cam member 30B
- the latch section 50B of the housing 12B is formed at a position that is shifted toward the rear of the upper surface 12a of the housing 12B so that it will accommodate the latch member 40B.
- the protrusion is formed on the latch member, and the aperture is formed on the latch section; however, the aperture may also be formed on the latch member and the protrusion on the latch section.
- the aperture may also be a recessed cavity.
- the resilient latch member may also be formed on the housing and the latch section on the cam member.
