Definitions

  • Document EP 1 355 368 A2, October 22, 2003 relates to a terminal with a nut-positioning device.
  • the case 2 is provided with a concave portion 2d to store the nut 7.
  • a major portion of the case 2 relevant to the invention alone is shown for ease of description, and other wiring conductors and structure bodies are omitted.
  • the case 2 in which is embedded the wiring conductor 3 is shown by dividing the case 2 to the resin 2a in an upper part and the resin 2b in a lower part for ease of description.
  • the case 2 is actually formed in such a manner that the resins 2a and 2b wrap the wiring conductor 3 by insert-molding and the resins 2a and 2b are indistinguishable.
  • the wiring terminal surface 3a of the wiring conductor 3 is stored in the concave portion 2c of the case 2 with a clearance in between.
  • the wiring terminal surface 3a may be of a structure by which the wiring terminal surface 3a is fixed by insert-molding using resin except for a portion bonded to the wiring terminal surface 4a of the outside wiring terminal 4.
  • the concave portion 2d provided to the case 2 so as to store the nut 7 therein has a clearance large enough to insert and move the nut 7.
  • it is sufficient that the hook-like protrusion 3b can press the nut 7 softly so that the nut 7 does not come out of the concave portion 2d and strength is not required.
  • notch portions 3k are provided to the edge of the wiring terminal surface 3a at the bottom where the hook-like protrusion 3b is formed. Owing to this configuration, there can be achieved an advantage that not only is the hook-like protrusion 3b bent easily, but also the occurrence of strain in the wiring terminal surface 3a and the hook-like protrusion 3b is prevented during the processing.
  • this embodiment is particularly effective when applied to a wiring conductor in a power-supply system, which is thick because of a need to flow a large current.
  • connection structure of the wiring conductor of the first embodiment for the connection between the wiring terminal of the wiring conductor and the outside wiring terminal to which the flexible wiring is press-fit, by providing the hook-like protrusion to the edge of the wiring terminal surface of the wiring conductor and by pressing and locking the nut, which is the fastening member, with the hook-like protrusion, the need for positioning accuracy of the nut can be eliminated when the bolt is inserted and screwed into the nut. A fastening and bonding work therefore becomes easier. Hence, there can be achieved a significant advantage that work efficiency is enhanced and component costs and operational costs can be reduced.
  • Fig. 6 is a schematic perspective view showing a major portion of a connection structure of a wiring conductor of a second embodiment.
  • Fig. 7 is a top view with a cross section taken along the line B-B of the connection structure of the wiring conductor.
  • a difference from the connection structure of the wiring conductor of the first embodiment above is that in contrast to the first embodiment above in which one wiring terminal is a wiring terminal provided to the case or the wiring conductor on the wiring board and the other wiring terminal is a wiring terminal of the outside wiring terminal to which the flexible wiring is connected and these wiring terminals are interconnected, wiring terminals provided to wiring conductors on two wiring boards are interconnected in the second embodiment.
  • a connection structure 40 of a wiring conductor has wiring terminal surfaces 43a and 53a formed in a convex shape by bending to be parallel to wiring conductors 43 and 53, respectively.
  • the wiring terminal surface 43a of the wiring conductor 43 on the wiring board 42 and the wiring terminal surface 53a of the wiring conductor 53 on the wiring board 52 are connected.
  • Two hook-like protrusions 43b are provided to an edge of the wiring terminal surface 43a and the nut 7 is pressed softly by one hook-like protrusion 43b.
  • the wiring terminal surface 53a is pressed and locked as the other hook-like protrusion 43b and the edge of the wiring terminal surface 53a come into contact with each other.
  • the wiring terminal surface 53a is thus substantially positioned and fixed. Then, by fastening the bolt 6 with nut 7 by screwing the former into the latter, the wiring conductor 43 on the wiring board 42 and the wiring conductor 53 on the wiring board 52 are electrically connected.
  • connection structure of the wiring conductor of the second embodiment is for a case where wiring conductors provided to the case of the electronic device or on the wiring boards are interconnected, and by providing the hook-like protrusions to the edge of the wiring terminal surface of the wiring conductor, and by pressing and locking the other wiring terminal surface by the hook-like protrusions, the bolt is screwed into the nut, both of which are a fastening member.
  • positional accuracy of the wiring terminal surfaces with respect to each other is not required, and a fastening and bonding work becomes easier. Accordingly, there can be achieved a significant advantage that work efficiency is enhanced and component costs and operational costs can be reduced.
