Definitions

  • This invention relates to a connector, in particular, to a connector which is changeable, by turning a lever, between a mated state that the connector is mated with a mating connector and a removable state that the connector is removable from the mating connector.
  • JP 2006-331991 A and EP 0 665 799 A1 disclose a connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • US 2003/017026 A1 discloses a connector having a connector housing with supporting walls and support shafts projecting in from the inner side surfaces of supporting walls.
  • the connector further comprises a lever having arms disposed inwardly of the supporting walls. Bearing holes formed in the arms are mounted rotatably on the support shafts. The arms try to move wider apart upon the engagement of cam grooves on the arms with cam pins on a mating connector. However, the arms are displaced in directions to move the bearing holes from the projecting ends toward the base ends of the support shafts.
  • GB 2 318 925 A discloses a lever-type connector including a lever and slides which are attached to a cap housing.
  • the lever has gears, and the slides have racks and cam grooves through that engage with cam followers of the mating connectors.
  • the racks are driven by the gears of the lever.
  • These racks and the cam grooves are respectively formed on opposite sides of the slides.
  • a connector 900 disclosed in JPA2015-122182 has a housing 910, a cover 920, a lever 930 and sliders 940.
  • the cover 920 is attached to the housing 910.
  • the lever 930 is attached to the cover 920 to be rotatable within a predetermined range.
  • the sliders 940 are accommodated in the housing 910 at least in part to be movable in a front-rear direction.
  • the lever 930 and the sliders 940 are combined with each other to be interlocked with each other.
  • the lever 930 and the sliders 940 are combined so that turning the lever 930 in a rotational direction moves the sliders 940 in the front-rear direction.
  • the sliders 940 are formed with a plurality of cam grooves 942 (one of them is shown in Fig. 17 ).
  • a mating connector 950 is formed with a plurality of bosses 952.
  • the cam grooves 942 correspond to the bosses 952, respectively.
  • the mating connector 950 is drawn toward the connector 900 and mated with the connector 900. Furthermore, turning the lever 930 in an opposite direction opposite to the predetermined direction along the rotational direction moves the sliders 940 in the other direction of the front-rear direction and moves the bosses 952 downward. Thus, the mating connector 950 is pushed in a direction away from the connector 900 and becomes removable from the connector 900.
  • the lever 930 is attached to the cover 920 while the sliders 940 are accommodated in the housing 910. Accordingly, attaching the cover 920 to the housing 910 must be executed so that the lever 930 and the sliders 940 are correctly interlocked with each other. Therefore, the connector 900 described in Patent Literature 1 requires that the cover 920 has a structure to maintain the lever 930 in a predetermined lever position and that the housing 910 has a structure to accommodate the sliders 940 in predetermined slider positions. However, in a case where those structures do not correspond to each other with high accuracy, the lever 930 and the sliders 940 cannot be interlocked with each other when the cover 920 is attached to the housing 910. Accordingly, the connector 900 has a possibility that the lever 930 cannot be turned.
  • a connector 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is provided with a housing 100, a lever 200 and a slider 300.
  • the connector 10 further has a plurality of contacts not shown.
  • the connector 10 is a connector that is mateable with and removable from a mating connector, which is not shown, along an up-down direction.
  • the connector 10 is attached with a cover 400 when used.
  • the up-down direction is a Z-direction. A positive Z-direction is upward while a negative Z-direction is downward.
  • the housing 100 has a contact holding portion 110 and a wall portion 120 surrounding a periphery of the contact holding portion 110.
  • the contact holding portion 110 has an approximately rectangular parallelepiped shape which is long in a front-rear direction orthogonal to the up-down direction.
  • the front-rear direction is an X-direction.
  • a positive X-direction is forward while a negative X-direction is rearward.
  • the contact holding portion 110 is further provided with a plurality of holding holes 112. As shown in Fig.
  • the holding holes 112 pierce the contact holding portion 110 and open in both of an upper surface 116 and a lower surface 118 of the contact holding portion 110.
  • the holding holes 112 are used for holding the contacts not shown.
  • the contacts are held in the holding holes 112 of the contact holding portion 110, respectively.
  • the contacts are connected with wirings not shown, respectively. The wirings are routed upward from above the upper surface 116 of the contact holding portion 110. The contacts are visible from under the lower surface 118 of the contact holding portion 110.
  • the connector 10 is a socket connector.
  • the wall portion 120 has a front wall 130, a rear wall 140, a pair of inner sidewalls 150 and a pair of outer sidewalls 160.

  • the front wall 130 covers a front surface 113 of the contact holding portion 110 and connects front ends of the inner sidewalls 150 and front ends of the outer sidewalls 160 with one another.
  • the rear wall 140 covers a back surface 115 of the contact holding portion 110 and connects rear ends of the inner sidewalls 150 with each other.
  • the inner sidewalls 150 cover side surfaces 114 of the contact holding portion 110 at least in part. As shown in Figs.

  • the pair of the inner sidewalls 150 is connected to the contact holding portion 110 at an upper side than a middle of the contact holding portion 110 in the up-down direction.
  • the front wall 130 and the rear wall 140 are connected to the contact holding portion 110.
  • a receiving portion 122 is formed between the contact holding portion 110 and the surrounding walls, i.e. the front wall 130, the rear wall 140 and the pair of the inner sidewalls 150, and is positioned below connecting parts between the contact holding portion 110 and surrounding walls.
  • the receiving portion 122 receives a mating housing (not shown) of the mating connector in part when the connector is mated with the mating connector.
  • lever accommodation portions 124 and slider accommodation portions 126 are formed between the inner sidewalls 150 and the outer sidewalls 160.
  • Each of the lever accommodation portions 124 accommodates the lever 200 in part so that the lever 200 is rotatable.
  • Each of the slider accommodation portions 126 accommodates the slider 300 in part so that the slider 300 is movable in the front-rear direction.
  • the lever accommodation portions 124 and the slider accommodation portions 126 communicate with each other in the up-down direction except for some parts.
  • each of the bottom plates 170 connects a lower end of the inner sidewall 150 to a lower end of the outer sidewall 160 adjacent thereto.
  • the bottom plates 170 function as guides when the slider 300 accommodated in the slider accommodation portions 126 in part is moved in the front-rear direction.
  • each of the connection portions 180 is located on a boundary between the lever accommodation portion 124 and the slider accommodation portion 126 and connects between the inner sidewall 150 and the outer sidewall 160 which are adjacent to each other.

  • the operation portion 210, the arm portions 220, the pinion portions 230 and the plate-like members 234 are integrally molded using a resin (a first resin). This is for reducing the number of parts, simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing a manufacturing cost.
  • the first resin may be same as or different from the third resin.
  • the slider 300 has a pair of side plate portions 310 and a connection plate portion 320.
  • the side plate portions 310 extend in the front-rear direction.

  • each of the guide grooves 224 is provided with a slope portion 226.
  • the slope portion 226 is formed so that the guide groove 224 becomes shallower towards the shaft hole 222. Consequently, upon attaching the lever 200 to the housing 100, the rotational shafts 152 enlarge gradually the arm portions 220 of the lever 200 in the right-left direction and thereby deforming elastically the lever 200 and the housing 100. As a result, the rotational shafts 152 are inserted in the shaft holes 222. Once the rotational shafts 152 are inserted into the shaft holes 222, the lever 200 and the housing 100 return to original shapes. Accordingly, the rotational shafts 152 cannot come out from the shaft holes 222 easily.

  • the pinion portions 230 of the lever 200 and the rack portions 314 of the slider 300 are engaged with each other and thereby forming a relation that turn of the lever 200 and front-rear direction movement of the slider 300 are exchanged with each other.
  • the slider 300 is attached to the housing 100 to be movable in the front-rear direction.
  • one of the teeth 316 forming the rack portion 314 is used as the press portion 317 while one of the teeth 232 forming the pinion portion 230 is used as the pressed portion 233.

  • the lever 200 is put in the second position as shown in Figs. 9 and 11 .
  • This situation can be achieved by either moving the slider 300 more forward or turning the lever 200 to the second position after the lever 200 and the slider 300 are changed into the state that they are interlocked with each other. Since the side plate portion 310 of the slider 300 is brought into abutment with the front wall 130 of the housing 100, the lever 200 is stopped in the second position.

In this state, the lever 200 is rotatable between the third position and the second position.
  • the cover 400 (or the regulation portions 402) regulates the turn of the lever 200 from the third position to the first position, and thereby the lever 200 is prevented from coming into contact with the wires connected to the connector 10.
