Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a connector used for connecting electrical equipment, and more particularly to a connector used for connecting a floor heating seat heater arranged on a floor of a building.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the temperature of a building has been adjusted by various kinds of cooling equipment and heating equipment. Due to divergence, more air conditioning equipment is operating than in the past. For this reason, the room temperature tends to be too low for a person using a building, and it is particularly noticeable that the room temperature is lower, such as near the feet. In order to prevent this problem, a floor heating seat heater is arranged on the floor to heat only the feet. In general households, the room temperature is adjusted by arranging a floor heating facility integrally with the house or arranging a floor heating seat heater or the like on the floor.

By the way, it is desirable that the appearance of the floor heating seat heater used in this way satisfies some conditions in consideration of the function of arranging it on the floor surface. Desirable external conditions include, for example, that the surface shape is flat, that the thickness of the floor heating seat heater is as thin as possible, and the like.

Most floor heating seat heaters basically have a structure in which a linear or planar heater is covered with a film or the like, and a connector for connecting to a power source is arranged at an end portion. With respect to the main body of the floor heating seat heater having such a configuration, it is possible to relatively easily achieve the above desirable external condition. However, FIG.
As for the part where the conventional socket type connector shown in Fig. 2 is used, it is difficult to achieve desirable external appearance conditions such as forming the above-mentioned surface shape to be flat or forming a thin film thickness. The surface of the heating seat heater has a shape with protruding ends. Since the floor heating seat heater is arranged on the floor surface, the step formed on the surface interferes with the movement in the room.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and the surface thereof is formed thin, and a step is prevented from being generated between the heat generating portion of the floor heating seat heater and the connecting portion of the connector. .

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention crimps a male hook body obtained by crimping a male fitting body and a male crimp body, and a female fitting body and a female crimp body. The female hook body is formed, and the male hook body and the female hook body are fitted to each other to establish an electrical connection.

As described above, by forming the connector by the male hook body and the female hook body for the electrical connection of the floor heating seat heater, the size can be reduced as compared with the conventional socket type connector. .

When the connector of the present invention is used at the end portion of the floor heating seat heater, as compared with the conventional floor heating seat heater using the socket type connector,
Since there is no step formed between the surface of the floor heating seat heater and the connector connection portion, it is possible to form a uniform and thin film thickness over the floor heating seat heater. It is possible to move without feeling a step even when walking, and it is possible to move a chair or the like without any trouble.

Further, the hook button type connector of the present invention requires a prototype hook button for clothing,
The purpose of conventional hook buttons for clothing is to lock the cuffs of clothes. As shown in FIG. 8, a constriction 112 is formed at the center of the side surface of the protrusion 1120 of the male hook body 100.
1 is formed, and when the male hook body 100 and the female hook body 200 are fitted to each other, the fitting hole 2120 of the female hook body 200 is positioned at the constricted portion 1121 to prevent detachment and attachment.
It is loosely fitted so as to have appropriate mobility.

However, according to the present invention, not only physical connection must be achieved, but also the floor heating seat heater and the power source or another floor heating seat heater must be electrically connected. Therefore, the projection 112 of the male hook body 100, like the conventional hook button for clothes shown in FIG. 7, is formed.
When the constricted portion 1121 is provided at the center of the side surface of 0, the constricted portion 1121 is loosely fitted, and it is difficult to establish an electrically stable connection.

In order to solve this problem, in the hook button type connector of the present invention, the side surface of the protrusion formed on the base body of the male fitting body is made smooth. Thus, when the male fitting body and the female fitting body of the present invention are fitted, the protrusions of the male fitting body and the fitting holes of the female fitting body are fitted together without a gap, and the space between the floor heating seat heaters is reduced. It is possible to achieve a stable electrical connection.

Further, a male hook body in a conventional hook button for clothes is composed of the male fitting body and the male crimp body, and the male crimp body is formed by a base body and a tubular portion protruding from the base body. The diameter of the cylindrical portion is formed to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the protruding portion of the male fitting body. The male crimp body and the male fitting body having such a configuration are crimped with the tubular portion of the male crimp body inserted into the protrusion of the male fitting body and a film or the like being sandwiched between both parts. The hook button is formed by engaging with each other and is attached to clothes or the like. However, when crimping is performed with the tubular portion inserted in the protrusion, the tubular portion is pressed to the inner wall of the protrusion and deformed inward even though it is formed slightly smaller than the diameter of the protrusion. However, it becomes impossible to support the inside of the protrusion, and the engagement strength between the male fitting body and the male crimp body deteriorates.

In order to solve this problem, the male hook body of the hook button type connector of the present invention has a cylindrical portion of the male crimp body when the male fitting body and the male crimp body forming the male hook body are crimped. It is formed by crimping with solder inside. As described above, when the male fitting body and the male crimp body are crimped, the inner wall of the protrusion portion presses the tubular portion to deform inward, but the solder loaded inside the tubular portion is Since the tubular portion is supported from the inner side, the inward deformation of the tubular portion is prevented.

As shown in FIG. 11, a floor heating seat heater using the hook button type connector having the above-described structure has a male hook body of the floor heating seat heater and a female hook body of the floor heating seat heater. By fitting, it lays on the floor. At this time, by connecting each floor heating sheet heater using a desired film type adapter having a hook button type connector, it is possible to avoid laying or bending office supplies such as desks placed indoors, or to bend. It is possible to lay a seat heater for floor heating in conformity with a corridor such as a corridor.
