Description

  The present invention relates to a connector device including a connector and a mating connector that is rotatably supported and pivotally supported by the connector.

  As a conventional connector device, a first connection body having a female terminal and a 22nd connection body having a male terminal are pivotally supported, and the first and second connection bodies are rotated and joined. An electric junction box for inserting and connecting male and female terminals is known.

  The first connection body includes a connector that accommodates the female terminal, a protrusion that protrudes from the connector so that the second connection body contacts, and a guide that contacts the guide protrusion.

    At the time of rotational joining of the first and second connecting bodies, the guide portion abuts on the protrusion to swing the connector so that the insertion angle of the male terminal matches the insertion angle of the female terminal (for example, (See Patent Document 1).

Utility Model Registration No. 2575048 (pages 1 and 2, page 3, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3)

  In the connector device in Patent Document 1, since the connector swings, there is a problem that the male and female terminals cannot be multi-core in the swinging direction.

  When inserting and connecting male and female terminals, the guide bar formed as the outer wall hits the protrusion of the connector and rotates the connector to the proper position before the male terminal and female terminal begin to contact. Since the connector is rotated by the competition between the male and female terminals until the mating is completed until the mating ends, an extra load is applied to the male and female terminals, which are electrical contacts, and the male and female terminals There is a problem that it is difficult to arrange them with a reduced pitch by making them smaller.

  Also, if the male terminal and female terminal are inserted and removed while forcibly rotating with the connector in which they are fitted, the fitting surface on the socket connector side will be scraped to the tip of the pin contact, making it impossible for the mold part. Can be overfitted, so safe mating is not possible.

The present invention includes a connector device that includes a connector that is fixed to a fixed member on the fixed side, and a mating connector that is pivotally supported with respect to the fixed member and is fitted to the connector in a fitting direction by a rotating operation. The connector has a rear insulator fixed to the fixing member, and a front insulator held by the rear insulator,
In the rear insulator, the front insulator is slidably held in a sliding direction orthogonal to the fitting direction, the front insulator is provided with a plurality of conductive contacts, and the mating connector is A conductive mating contact connected to the contact when mated with the connector and a mating insulator holding the mating contact, and the front insulator is fitted with the mating connector A connector having a chamfered portion formed on one outer surface on the rotation fulcrum side of the mating connector so as to guide the mating of the mating connector and facing in the sliding direction at the initial mating time. It is the most important feature.

  According to the connector device of the present invention, since the front insulator rotates with respect to the rear insulator and fits while moving the front insulator in the sliding direction, the function of the front insulator is not all electrical contact portions. Since the front insulator is used, it is possible to reduce the size of the multi-core contacts and the mating contacts and arrange them with a narrow pitch.

  Further, the front insulator moves as the mating contact is inserted into the contact while the chamfered portion is pressed and slid by the mating connector, so that the mating contact always comes to the front of the contact insertion hole on the fitting surface. . As a result, the connector can be safely inserted and removed without scraping the fitting portion of the connector at the tip of the contact and without applying an excessive load to the mold portion.

  Furthermore, since the number of parts is small and a complicated mechanism is not used, there is an advantage that it can be easily manufactured.

  The connector device of the present invention includes a connector fixed to a fixing member on the fixed side, and a mating connector that is pivotally supported with respect to the fixing member and is fitted to the connector in a fitting direction by a rotation operation. In the connector device including the connector, the connector includes a rear insulator fixed to the fixing member, and a front insulator held by the rear insulator, and the rear insulator has the sliding direction orthogonal to the fitting direction. A front insulator is slidably held, the front insulator is provided with a plurality of conductive contacts, and the mating connector is connected to the contacts when fitted to the connector. A mating contact and a mating insulator holding the mating contact; The outer insulator has one outer surface on the side of the rotation fulcrum of the mating connector and facing the sliding direction at the initial stage of mating so as to guide the mating of the mating connector when mating with the mating connector. This is realized by forming a chamfered portion on the surface.

  FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a connector device according to the present invention, and shows a state before the connector and the mating connector are fitted together. FIG. 2 shows the connector and the mating connector of the connector device shown in FIG. FIG. 3 shows the connector of the connector device shown in FIG. 2 together with the mating connector in a disassembled state.

  1 to 3, the connector device includes a connector 11 and a mating connector 31 that is pivotally supported with respect to the connector 11 and is fitted to the connector 11 in the fitting direction G by a turning operation. And.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the connector 11 is held by a fixing member 51 on the fixed side. The fixing member 51 in the first embodiment is, for example, a casing panel attached to a device (not shown). The mating connector 31 is held by the mating fixing member 61. The counterpart fixing member 61 is, for example, a counterpart panel that is pivotally supported with respect to the panel of the casing.

  An arm portion 53 is formed at one end portion of the fixing member 51, and a shaft hole 55 is formed in the arm portion 53. A mating arm 63 is formed at one end of the mating fixing member 61, and a shaft 65 is provided on the mating arm portion 63. The shaft portion 65 of the counterpart arm portion 63 is rotatably engaged with the shaft hole 55 of the arm portion 53.

  The connector 11 includes a rear insulator 13 that is attached and fixed to a fixing member 51, and a front insulator 23 that is held by the rear insulator 13.

  The rear insulator 13 is formed in a substantially long box shape with a long dimension in the sliding direction S by molding a resin material. The rear insulator 13 holds a front insulator 23 slidable in the sliding direction S in a sliding direction S perpendicular to the fitting direction G. Here, the slide direction S is a direction that moves in parallel to the rear insulator 13.

  The rear insulator 13 includes a holding receiving portion 15 having a large rectangular hole shape penetrating from a front surface 13a into which the front insulator 23 is inserted and assembled to a rear surface 13b facing the front surface 13a, and a sliding direction S. And a pair of flange portions 17 and 17 formed on both sides.

  A pair of engagement receiving portions 15b, 15b is formed on the pair of wall portions 15a, 15a parallel to the sliding direction S among the four wall portions constituting the holding receiving portion 15. The pair of wall portions 15a and 15a are portions that serve as guides for restricting and moving the slide when the front insulator 23 is moved in the slide direction S.

  Attachment holes 17a and 17a are formed in the pair of flange portions 17 and 17, respectively. The screw 18 is inserted into each of the mounting holes 17 a and 17 a, and the rear insulator 13 is fixed to the holding member 51 by screwing the holding member 51 with the screw 18.

  Further, the rear insulator 13 is formed with a pressing portion 19 that presses the front insulator 23 in one direction S1 in the sliding direction S. The pressing portion 19 has a front surface 13a along the one wall surface 15c of one wall portion 15d from the rear surface side of the one wall portion 15d orthogonal to the sliding direction S of the four wall portions constituting the holding receiving portion 15. It extends upward.

  The pressing portion 19 has one end connected to the rear surface side of the one wall portion 15d, and has a spring property because it has a shape extending from the one end to the front surface 15f along the one wall surface 15c. . The pressing portion 19 serves to always shift the front insulator 23 in one direction S1 before the front insulator 23 is fitted to the mating connector 31.

  The front insulator 23 is formed in a substantially long box shape with a long dimension in the sliding direction S by molding a resin material. Inside the front insulator 23, a conductive contact 25 (see FIG. 1) is incorporated and held. In addition, the contact 25 in Example 1 is a socket contact.

  Further, the front insulator 23 has a fitting part 27 in which the mating connector 31 rotates and fits in the fitting direction G, and a holding part 28 extending from the fitting part 27 in the fitting direction G. On the pair of outer surfaces 28a, 28a of the holding portion 28, a pair of protrusions (engaging portions) 29a, 29a are provided on one outer surface 28a. A contact accommodating portion (not shown) for accommodating the contact 25 is formed inside the fitting portion 27, and a plurality of contacts 25 are arranged at a predetermined interval in the sliding direction S.

  In the fitting portion 27, a chamfered portion 29 is formed on one outer surface of the fitting portion 27 that faces in the sliding direction S when the mating connector 31 rotates in the rotation direction R toward the connector 11. The chamfered portion 29 is a surface inclined from the fitting surface 27a of the fitting portion 27 to the side surface 27d. When the chamfered portion 29 rotates so as to guide the mating with the mating connector 31 when the connector 11 and the mating connector 31 are mated, the chamfered portion 29 is on the side of the rotation fulcrum 65a of the shaft portion 65 of the mating holding member 61. One side of the mating connector 31 in the sliding direction S abuts initially.

  Furthermore, the fitting portion 27 has a contact insertion hole 27f that is inserted from the fitting surface 27a that faces when the mating connector 31 rotates in the rotation direction R into the internal contact accommodating portion. The contact insertion holes 27f have the same number as the number of contacts 25. A cable 81 is connected to the contact 25. The cable 81 is pulled out from the rear insulator 13.

  Note that the dimension interval in the sliding direction S of the holding receiving portion 15 of the rear insulator 13 is set to a dimension interval slightly larger than the dimension interval in the sliding direction S of the holding portion 28 of the front insulator 23.

  Therefore, when the holding portion 28 is inserted into the holding receiving portion 15 and incorporated, the front insulator 23 can move in the sliding direction S within the holding receiving portion 15.

  Further, when the holding portion 28 is inserted into the holding receiving portion 15 and incorporated, the protrusion 29a enters the engaging portion 15b one-on-one and engages. The engaging portion 15b is set such that the dimension interval in the sliding direction S is slightly larger than the dimension interval in the sliding direction S of the protrusion 29a. Therefore, when the front insulator 23 moves in the sliding direction S within the holding receiving portion 15, the protrusion 29a can move in the sliding direction S within the engaging portion 15b.

  The mating connector 31 is formed by molding a resin material into the mating insulator 33 which is formed in a substantially long box shape with a long dimension in the sliding direction S, and the mating insulator 33 so as to be connected to the contact 25 when fitted. It has a conductive mating contact 35 incorporated and held. The counterpart contact 35 is held by the counterpart insulator 33.

  The mating insulator 33 is formed so as to extend from both sides in the sliding direction S to the mating mating section 37 formed in a large groove shape so that the mating section 27 of the front insulator 23 can be inserted. A pair of mating flange portions 38, 38 are provided.

  The mating fitting portion 37 is provided with a plurality of mating contacts 35 so as to correspond one-to-one with the number of cores of the contact 25 when fitted. In the partner insulator 33, the partner contact 35 is connected to the partner cable 91. The mating cable 91 is drawn out of the mating insulator 33. Note that the mating contact 35 in the first embodiment is a pin contact.

  In each of the pair of mating flange portions 38, 38, mating mounting holes 38a, 38a are formed. A mating screw 39 is inserted into the mating mounting holes 38 a, 38 a and the mating connector 31 is fixed to the mating holding member 61 by tightening the mating screw 39 to the mating holding member 61. Further, the inner surface on the opening end side of the mating fitting portion 37 is a mating chamfered portion 37f whose surface abutting on the chamfered portion 29 is inclined in a tapered shape from the mating fitting surface 37c of the mating fitting portion 37 inward. It has become.

  FIG. 4 shows a state immediately before the connector 11 and the mating connector 31 are fitted in the connector device shown in FIG. The front insulator 23 in FIG. 4 is in a state of being biased to a lower position in the direction shown in the drawing of FIG.

  The connector 11 after being attached to the holding member 51 is in a so-called floating state in which the front insulator 23 accommodating the contact 25 moves in the sliding direction S with respect to the rear insulator 13 from the state before fitting shown in FIG. It is possible to move.

  When the front insulator 23 is shifted to the lower position in the orientation shown in the drawing of FIG. 4, the gap dimension A between the front wall 23e of the holding insulator 15 of the front insulator 23 and the rear insulator 13 is It is getting bigger. The tip of the pressing portion 19 is in contact with one side surface of the holding portion 28 (the lower side surface in FIG. 4).

  As shown in FIG. 5, the mating connector 31 is attached to the mating holding member 61 and then rotated in the initial state when it is inserted into the front insulator 23 by rotating around the pivot fulcrum 65 a of the shaft portion 65. The insulator 23 contacts the chamfered portion 29 on the fitting surface 27a side.

  The mating fitting portion 37 that is in contact with the chamfered portion 29 continues to rotate, presses the front insulator 23 and moves in one direction S1 in the sliding direction S, and the contact 25 has a contact insertion hole 27f into which the mating contact 35 can be inserted. Inserted while rotating to be in the proper position. At this time, when the front insulator 23 moves upward as shown in FIG. 6 by the chamfered portion 29 on the connector 11 side coming into contact with the mating chamfered portion 37f of the mating fitting portion 37, the gap dimension A shown in FIG. A narrow gap dimension B (see FIG. 6) is obtained.

  Therefore, the contact insertion hole 27 f of the front insulator 23 comes to the tip of the mating contact 35. Therefore, the front insulator 23 moves as the mating contact 35 is inserted while the position of the fitting surface 27a slides upward.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the front insulator 23 is now pushed by the weight of the front insulator 23 or the loose outer surface portion of the fitting portion 27 by the mating chamfered portion 37f on the mating fitting portion 37 side. Move down. By this operation, the contact insertion hole 27f for inserting the mating contact 35 of the front insulator 23 and the contact 25 can always be inserted at the same position, and are fitted and contacted as shown in FIG.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the front insulator 23 may be offset upward in the paper surface of FIG. At this time, the tip of the pressing portion 19 is not in contact with one side surface of the holding portion 28. As shown in FIG. 11, when the mating connector 31 is inserted into the fitting portion 27 while rotating, the mating chamfered portion 37 f of the mating connector 31 is positioned on the outer surface of the fitting portion 27 as shown in FIG. 12. As a result, the front insulator 23 is pushed downward and moves.

  Therefore, when the tip of the contact 25 comes close to the contact insertion hole 27f of the front insulator 23, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the weight of the front insulator 23 or the fitting portion 27 is changed from the position shown in FIG. When the loose outer surface portion is pushed by the mating chamfered portion 37f on the mating fitting portion 37 side, the front insulator 23 is now moved downward. By this operation, the contact insertion hole 27f for inserting the mating contact 35 of the front insulator 23 and the contact 25 can always be inserted at the same position, and are fitted and contacted as shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the connector 11 having the pressing portion 19, when the connector 11 is offset from the fixing member 51, the counterpart connector 31 may be offset upward, or is offset downward. Even in this case, the pressing portion 19 is lowered and the front insulator 23 is lowered, so that unnecessary stress is not applied to the connector 11 and the fitting cannot be prevented. As such, the presence of the pressing portion 19 also serves to absorb mounting displacement of the connector 11.

  FIG. 13 shows a second embodiment of the connector device shown in FIG. 1 and shows a state immediately before the connector 11 and the mating connector 31 are fitted together.

  The rear insulator 13 according to the second embodiment is formed with a pressing portion 19 ′ that presses the front insulator 23 in a direction S 2 opposite to the one direction S 1 in the sliding direction S. The pressing portion 19 ′ is one wall surface above the holding receiving portion 15 of the rear insulator 13 from the rear surface side of the other wall portion 15 g orthogonal to the sliding direction S among the four wall portions constituting the holding receiving portion 15. It extends on the front surface 15f along 15e.

  The pressing portion 19 ′ has one end connected on the rear surface side of the other wall portion 15 g and has a spring property because it has a shape extending from the one end to the front surface 13 a. The pressing portion 19 ′ serves to keep the front insulator 23 in a direction S 2 opposite to the one direction S 1 before the front insulator 23 is fitted to the mating connector 31.

  The connector 11 after being attached to the holding member 51 is in a so-called floating state in which the front insulator 23 accommodating the contact 25 moves in the sliding direction S with respect to the rear insulator 13 from the state before fitting shown in FIG. It is possible to move.

  The front insulator 23 is shifted to the lower position in the direction shown in the drawing of FIG. In this case, similarly to the state shown in FIG. 4, the gap dimension A between the one wall surface 15 e on the upper side of the holding receiving portion 15 of the front insulator 23 and the rear insulator 13 is large. The tip of the pressing portion 19 is in contact with one side surface (lower side surface in FIG. 4) of the holding portion 28.

  After the mating connector 31 is attached to the mating holding member 61, the mating surface 27a of the front insulator 23 is in an initial state when the mating connector 31 is inserted into the front insulator 23 by rotating around the pivot fulcrum 65a of the shaft portion 65. It abuts on the side chamfer 29.

  Hereinafter, the fitting with the mating connector 31 is the same as the state described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9 and will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9.

  The mating fitting portion 37 that is in contact with the chamfered portion 29 continues to rotate, presses the front insulator 23 and moves in one direction S1 in the sliding direction S, and the contact 25 has a contact insertion hole 27f into which the mating contact 35 can be inserted. Inserted while rotating to be in the proper position. At this time, when the front insulator 23 moves upward as shown in FIG. 6 by the chamfered portion 29 on the connector 11 side coming into contact with the mating chamfered portion 37f of the mating fitting portion 37, the clearance dimension A shown in FIG. Becomes a narrow gap B (see FIG. 6).

  Therefore, the contact insertion hole 27 f of the front insulator 23 comes to the tip of the mating contact 35. The front insulator 23 moves as the mating contact 35 is inserted while the position of the fitting surface 27a slides upward.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the front insulator 23 is now pushed by the weight of the front insulator 23 or the loose outer surface portion of the fitting portion 27 by the mating chamfered portion 37f on the mating fitting portion 37 side. Move down. By this operation, the contact insertion hole 27f for inserting the mating contact 35 of the front insulator 23 and the contact 25 can always be inserted at the same position, and are fitted and contacted as shown in FIG.

  14 shows a third embodiment of the connector device shown in FIG. 1, and shows a state immediately before the connector 11 and the mating connector 31 are fitted.

  The rear insulator 13 in the third embodiment is formed with a pressing portion 19 that presses the front insulator 23 in one direction S1 in the sliding direction S. The pressing portion 19 includes a front surface 15f along the one wall surface 15c of the one wall portion 15d from the rear surface side of the one wall portion 15d orthogonal to the sliding direction S among the four wall portions constituting the holding receiving portion 15. It extends upward.

  The pressing portion 19 has one end connected to the rear surface side of the one wall portion 15d, and has a spring property because it has a shape extending from the one end to the front surface 13a along the one wall surface 15c. . Further, a pressing portion 19 ′ that presses the front insulator 23 in a direction S 2 opposite to the one direction S 1 in the sliding direction S is formed. The pressing portion 19 ′ is one wall surface above the holding receiving portion 15 of the rear insulator 13 from the rear surface side of the other wall portion 15 g orthogonal to the sliding direction S among the four wall portions constituting the holding receiving portion 15. It extends on the front surface 13a along 15e.

  The pressing portion 19 ′ has one end connected on the rear surface side of the other wall portion 15 g and has a spring property because it has a shape extending from the one end to the front surface 13 a. The pressing portions 19 and 19 ′ serve to hold the front insulator 23 at a constant position before the front insulator 23 is fitted to the mating connector 31.

  Accordingly, the mating fitting portion 37 is inserted while rotating so that the contact 25 is positioned at an appropriate position of the contact insertion hole 27 f into which the mating contact 35 can be inserted, and the contact insertion hole 27 f of the front insulator 23 is inserted into the tip of the mating contact 35. Come to come. By this operation, the contact insertion hole 27f for inserting the mating contact 35 of the front insulator 23 and the contact 25 can always be inserted at the same position, and are fitted and contacted as shown in FIG.

  15 shows a third embodiment of the connector device shown in FIG. 1, and shows a state immediately before the connector 11 and the mating connector 31 are fitted together.

  The rear insulator 13 according to the fourth embodiment has a shape without the pressing portion 19 that presses the front insulator 23 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 in one direction S1 in the sliding direction S.

  As described above, even if the pressing portion 19 is not provided, the mating of the front insulator 23 is always performed in a state before the front insulator 23 is fitted to the mating connector 31. The part 37 is inserted while rotating so that the contact 25 is positioned at an appropriate position of the contact insertion hole 27 f into which the mating contact 35 can be inserted, and the contact insertion hole 27 f of the front insulator 23 comes to the tip of the mating contact 35. . By this operation, the contact insertion hole 27f for inserting the mating contact 35 of the front insulator 23 and the contact 25 can always be inserted at the same position, and are fitted and contacted as shown in FIG.

  In the first embodiment, the mating contact 35 is connected to the mating cable 91. However, the mating holding member 61 is directly used as a SMT component or DIP component as a printed wiring board. You may make it connect to a circuit.

  Further, the engagement receiving portion (hole shape) 15b and the protrusion (engaging portion) 29a may be in an opposite relationship, and the relationship between the engagement receiving portion 15b and the protrusion 29a is the relationship between the groove and the protrusion. It may be a joint relationship. Further, the chamfered portion 29 may be an inclined plane or curved surface.
