Description

  The present invention is a connector applied to an electrode formed outside an end portion of a tubular EEFL.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a connector into which a fluorescent lamp (fluorescent tube) serving as a backlight for a liquid crystal screen is inserted and fitted is shown in FIG. This connector is applied to CCFL (ColdCathode Fluorescent Lamp), which has a pin-shaped electrode (conductor) protruding from the inside of the glass tube at the end of the lamp. Insert the slider formed between the two ends of the contact and separate from the connector housing (lamp support base) body into the housing, so that the lamp electrodes are clamped at both ends of the contact. The contact pressure is improved. The reason why the contact pressure is improved is that a high voltage is applied to the contact portion. If the contact pressure is insufficient, the contact portion becomes a conductive resistance and heat is generated, which may cause damage.

Under such circumstances, as an next-generation fluorescent lamp, an EEFL (External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp) having an electrode formed outside the glass tube at the end of the lamp has recently attracted attention. Because the shape and structure of the electrode is completely different from the above, the connector as described above cannot be applied. For example, one end of the lead wire is manually soldered to the electrode and the other end is connected to the inverter circuit via the connector. is doing.
JP 2002-367422 A (FIGS. 2A to 2C, paragraph 0023)

  However, since the glass tube constituting the EEFL is elongate with a diameter of 4 mm and a length of 300 mm, for example, when soldering the electrode manually, it takes time, labor and cost, and there is a risk of breakage.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and can be easily and reliably connected to an electrode formed outside the end portion of a tubular EEFL with sufficient contact pressure without damaging the EEFL. The object is to provide a connector that can be downed.

  In order to achieve the above object, an EEFL connector according to a first configuration of the present invention is a connector applied to an electrode formed outside an end portion of a tubular EEFL, and an opening into which the electrode is inserted from above. A base housing that is attached to the base plate, has an elastic contact, has a resilient contact, a cover housing that is attached to the base housing below by being pressed from above, and the cover housing and And a flexible hinge portion that is integrally formed with the base housing and that connects the cover housing to the base housing so as to be movable above the base housing. The cover housing is attached to a base housing having an electrode inserted into the opening, whereby the contact is connected to the electrode with contact pressure.

  According to the EEFL connector of the first configuration, the contact is pressed against the electrode with appropriate elasticity simply by inserting the EEFL electrode into the opening of the base housing and pressing the cover housing from above the base housing. Therefore, the EEFL can be easily and reliably connected to the electrode without damaging the EEFL, and the cost can be reduced.

  The EEFL connector according to the second configuration of the present invention is a connector applied to an electrode formed outside the end portion of a tubular EEFL, and includes a base housing attached to a substrate, and is incorporated into the base housing to provide elasticity. A contact housing having an opening into which the electrode is inserted from the front, and a cover housing mounted on the lower base housing when pressed from above. Then, the cover housing with the electrode inserted into the opening is mounted on the base housing, so that the contact is connected to the electrode with contact pressure.

  According to the EEFL connector of the second configuration, the contact can be brought into contact with the electrode with appropriate elasticity simply by inserting the EEFL electrode into the opening of the cover housing and pressing the cover housing from above the base housing. Since the connection is performed with pressure, the EEFL can be easily and reliably connected to the electrode without damaging the EEFL, and the cost can be reduced.

  The EEFL connector of the third configuration of the present invention is a connector applied to an electrode formed outside the end portion of a tubular EEFL, and includes a base housing attached to a substrate, and is incorporated into the base housing to provide elasticity. A contact housing having an opening into which the electrode is inserted from the front, and a cover housing which is attached to the lower base housing by being pressed from above, and is integrally formed with the cover housing and the base housing. And a flexible hinge portion for connecting the cover housing to the base housing so as to be movable upward of the base housing. Then, the cover housing with the electrode inserted into the opening is mounted on the base housing, so that the contact is connected to the electrode with contact pressure.

  Even with the EEFL connector of the third configuration, the contact is pressed against the electrode with appropriate elasticity simply by inserting the EEFL electrode into the opening of the cover housing and pressing the cover housing from above the base housing. Therefore, the EEFL can be easily and reliably connected to the electrode without damaging the EEFL, and the cost can be reduced.

  The EEFL connector having the first to third configurations can be suitably used for EEFL in which the electrode has a circular or rectangular shape (a rectangle including a square). Further, a contact may be connected to the electrode with a plurality of tangents or contacts with contact pressure.

  First, the EEFL connector according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the connector 3A is applied to an electrode 1a formed on the outer side of the end of a tubular EEFL 1 having a circular shape, ie, a circular longitudinal section. Although only the end portion of the EEFL 1 is illustrated, for example, the diameter is 4 mm and the length is as long as 300 mm, and the electrode 1a is formed by providing a coating such as a metal coating or a conductive paint on the outside of both ends. . The connector 3A includes a base housing 4A, a contact 7A, a cover housing 5A, and a hinge portion 6A described below. Regarding the material, the base housing 4A, the cover housing 5A and the hinge portion 6A are made of an insulating material such as PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), and the contact 7A is made of a copper alloy such as MAX251C.

  The base housing 4A has an opening 8A into which the electrode 1a is inserted from above. As shown in FIG. 2 which is a front view, the base housing 4A extends downward and has a pair of flexible claws. Each of the protrusions 9 and 10 is positioned with respect to the substrate 2 by being inserted into the holes 2a and 2b provided in the substrate 2 which is the printed wiring board shown in FIG. Installed and secured. On the outside of the left and right side walls of the base housing 4A, there is provided an engaging portion 11A (only the front side is shown in FIG. 1), which is a step portion for engaging with an engaging means 12A of a cover housing 5A described later. Yes. In each figure, the substrate 2 only shows a portion to which the connector 3 is attached, but actually, the substrate 2 spreads forward, backward, left and right.

  The contact 7A has a plate shape and has elasticity, and as shown in the side view of FIG. 6, the contact 7A extends rearward from the front end portion contacting the electrode 1a to the upper rear end portion, and the rear end portion bends and faces downward. The contact portion 7Aa, a mounting portion 7Ab extending downward from the rear end of the contact portion 7Aa, and a lead portion 7Ac that is bent from the lower end of the mounting portion 7Ab and extends rearward are incorporated in the base housing 4A. Although most of the lead portion 7Ac is exposed from the base housing 4A, it is soldered so that it is connected to an inverter circuit or the like. In the contact 7A incorporated in the base housing 4A, the tip of the contact portion 7Aa is in the foremost (right direction in FIG. 6), and is flexible in the front-rear direction (axial direction of the EEFL1, that is, the longitudinal direction).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the cover housing 5A has a pair of plate-like engaging means 12A that faces upward in a state before being attached to the base housing 4A and extends upward in that state. . As shown in the front view of FIG. 2, a claw 12Aa is provided inside the engaging means 12A, and the engaging means 12A is flexible in the left-right direction. As shown by the arrow in FIG. 3, when the cover housing 5A is turned downward above the base housing 4A and pressed from above, the front end of the engaging means 12A opens outward, and the claw 12Aa is attached to the base housing 4A. The base member 4A is attached to the base housing 4A by moving downward while contacting the engaging portion 11A, the claw 12Aa getting over the engaging portion 11A of the base housing 4A, and the tip of the engaging means 12A returning inward. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the tip 7Aa of the contact 7A is appropriately connected to the end face of the electrode 1a with a contact pressure.

  In FIG. 1, a pair of belt-like hinge portions 6A arranged in parallel in the left-right direction are formed integrally with the cover housing 5A and the base housing 4A, and the cover housing 5A is movable to the upper side of the base housing 4A. It is connected to 4A.

  Next, a procedure for applying the connector 3A of the first embodiment to the electrode 1a of the EEFL 1 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 5, the worker attaches the pair of connectors 3A1 and 3A2 to the board 2 in the manner described above so as to face each other at an appropriate interval according to the length of the EEFL1. The appropriate interval is the state before the electrode 1a of the EEFL1 is inserted, and the distance between the tip portions 7Aa of the contacts 7A in FIG. 6 is slightly shorter than the length of the EEFL1, and the cover housing 5A is the base when the EEFL1 is inserted. The spacing is such that the tip 7Aa of the contact 7A is appropriately connected to the end surface of the electrode 1a with contact pressure in a state of being mounted on the housing 4A.

  1 to 4 and FIG. 6, only 3A1 on the left side of FIG. 5 is described as 3A among the pair of connectors 3A1 and 3A2, but both connectors 3A1 and 3A2 are described below unless otherwise specified. On the other hand, it is assumed that the same operation (a symmetrical operation in FIG. 5) is performed simultaneously. The same applies to other embodiments described later.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the electrode 1a is inserted from above into the opening 8A of the base housing 4A. At this stage, the lower edge of the electrode 1a is placed on the contact portion 7Aa (FIG. 6) of the contact 7A and is prevented from falling off in the left-right direction by both side walls of the base housing 4A.

  Then, the operator holds one cover housing 5A of the connector 3A in each of both hands, and rotates the cover housing 5A around the base housing 4A side of the hinge portion 6A as a support shaft as shown by an arrow in FIG. Then, the base housing 4A is positioned downward and pressed from above. It is particularly important that this pressing be performed simultaneously on the pair of connectors 3A. Then, as described above, the engaging means 12A of the cover housing 5A engages with the engaging portion 11A of the base housing 4A, and the cover housing 5A is attached to the base housing 4A, resulting in the state shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the tip 7Aa of the contact 7A is appropriately connected to the end face of the electrode 1a with a contact pressure.

  In EEFL1 using an elongated glass tube, when one end, that is, the electrode 1a is fixed and the other electrode 1a is not supported, a hand or object hits the unsupported electrode 1a. If shaken, it is easy to cause damage, and should be avoided as much as possible. If the connector 3A of the first embodiment is used, such a state can be avoided. That is, using a pair of connectors 3A, both electrodes 1a of EEFL1 are inserted into the openings 8A (FIG. 3) of both base housings 4A, and both cover housings 5A are pressed simultaneously from above the base housing 4A to be mounted. As a result, the contact portion 7Aa of the contact 7A is connected to the electrode 1a with an appropriate elasticity with a contact pressure. Therefore, the EEFL 1 can be easily and reliably connected to the electrode 1a without damaging the EEFL 1, and the cost can be reduced. We can plan down.

  In the connector 3A of the first embodiment, the contact portion 7Aa of the contact 7A is connected to the end face of the electrode 1a of the EEFL1 with a contact pressure in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the EEFL1, so that, for example, like a straight pipe, Suitable for EEFL with a shape that allows a pair of connectors 3A to face each other and attach to the board 2, but attaches to the board 2 with the pair of connectors facing in the same direction, such as a U-tube This is not suitable for the EEFL having a shape that cannot be handled without it because the contact pressure cannot be secured.

  Next, an EEFL connector according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 7, the connector 3B includes a base housing 4B attached to the board 2, a contact 7B having elasticity incorporated in the base housing 4B, and an electrode 1a (FIG. 9) inserted from the front. A cover housing 5B that is attached to the lower base housing 4B by being pressed from above, and in which the electrode 1a is inserted into the opening 8B as shown in FIG. By attaching 5B to the base housing 4B as shown in FIG. 10, the contact 7B is an EEFL connector that is connected to the electrode 1a with contact pressure as shown in the side view of FIG.

  Compared with the connector 3A (FIG. 3 etc.) of the first embodiment, the connector 3B of the second embodiment does not have a hinge part 6A (FIG. 1) as shown in FIG. The cover housing 5B is not integrated, the cover housing 5B has an opening 8B into which the electrode 1a is inserted from the front as shown in FIG. 9, and the contact 7B is an electrode 1a of the EEFL1 as shown in FIG. Since the only difference is that the EEFL1 is connected to the side surface in the radial direction of the EEFL 1 with a contact pressure, the other parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

  The contact 7B of the connector 3B of the second embodiment will be described in more detail. As shown in the side view of FIG. 8, the contact 7 </ b> B has a plate-like elasticity and is bent into a substantially triangular shape with a rear end extending horizontally forward, and downward from the rear end of the contact 7 </ b> Ba. And a lead portion 7Bc extending horizontally rearward from the rear end of the attachment portion 7Bb, and is incorporated in the base housing 4B. A part of the lead portion 7Bc is exposed from the base housing 4B, and is soldered so as to be connected to an inverter circuit or the like. In the base housing 4B incorporating the contact 7B, one apex of the triangle is located at the highest position from the substrate 2 in a side view formed by bending at the contact portion 7Ba and is flexible in the vertical direction.

  Next, a procedure for applying the connector 3B of the second embodiment to the electrode 1a of the EEFL 1 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 5 for the connectors 3A1 and 3A2 of the first embodiment, the operator described above so that the pair of connectors 3B face each other at an appropriate interval according to the length of the EEFL1. Attach to the substrate 2 in the same way. However, the appropriate distance here means that the cover housing 5B in which the electrode 1a of the EEFL1 is inserted is mounted on the base housing 4B as shown in FIG. 11, and the EEFL1 is between the pair of connectors 3B in the axial direction. It is an interval that fits in with some margin.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the electrode 1a is inserted into the opening 8B of the cover housing 5B from the front, and is positioned above the base housing 4B. That is, the operator holds the two electrodes 1a of the EEFL 1 with the cover housing 5B, one for each hand, and positions each cover housing 5B above the corresponding base housing 4B.

  Then, the operator presses the cover housing 5B against the base housing 4B from above. It is particularly important that this pressing be performed simultaneously on the pair of connectors 3B. Then, as described above with the connector 3A of the first embodiment, the engaging means 12B of the cover housing 5B engages with the engaging portion 11B of the base housing 4B, and the cover housing 5B is attached to the base housing 4B. The state shown in FIG. 10 is obtained. At this time, as shown in FIG. 11, the tip 7Ba of the contact 7B is appropriately connected to the side surface of the electrode 1a with a contact pressure.

  Even when the connector 3B of the second embodiment is used, a state in which the EEFL 1 is damaged can be avoided. That is, using a pair of connectors 3B, both electrodes 1a of EEFL1 are inserted into openings 8B (FIG. 9) of both cover housings 4B, and both cover housings 5B are pressed from above the base housing 4B at the same time. The contact portion 7Ba of the contact 7B is connected to the electrode 1a with an appropriate elasticity with a contact pressure. Therefore, the EEFL 1 can be easily and reliably connected to the electrode 1a without damaging the EEFL 1, and the cost can be reduced. We can plan down.

  In the connector 3B of the second embodiment, the contact portion 7Ba of the contact 7B is connected to the side surface of the electrode 1a of the EEFL1 with a contact pressure in the radial direction of the EEFL1, so that, for example, a pair of U-tubes. EEFL having a shape that cannot be handled unless the connector is attached to the board 2 in the same direction can be applied because the contact pressure can be secured.

  Next, an EEFL connector according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 12, the connector 3C has a base housing 4C attached to the substrate 2, a contact 7C having elasticity incorporated in the base housing 4C, and an electrode 1a (FIG. 13) inserted from the front. A cover housing 5C that is attached to the lower base housing 4C by being pressed from above, and is formed integrally with the cover housing 5C and the base housing 4C, and above the base housing 4C. FIG. 14 shows a cover housing 5C having a flexible hinge portion 6C for connecting the cover housing 5C to the base housing 4C so that the electrode 1a is inserted into the opening 8C as shown in FIG. By attaching the base housing 4C to the case of the second embodiment (FIG. 11), Contact 7C of FIG. 13 as it is EEFL connector for connecting with a contact pressure to the electrode 1a.

  The connector 3C according to the third embodiment is provided with a hinge portion 6C in the configuration similar to the connector 3A according to the first embodiment (such as FIG. 1) compared to the connector 3B (such as FIG. 7) according to the second embodiment. Therefore, the only difference is that the base housing 4C and the cover housing 5C are integrated with each other. However, the hinge portion 6C of the connector 3C of the third embodiment is provided on one side of the connector 3C.

  The procedure for applying the connector 3C of the third embodiment to the electrode 1a of the EEFL 1 is also the same as that described for the connector 3B of the second embodiment. However, when each cover housing 5C is positioned above the corresponding base housing 4C, the operator holds one cover housing 5C of the connector 3C in each of both hands and covers the cover as shown by arrows in FIG. The difference is that the housing 5C is rotated about the base housing 4C side of the hinge portion 6C as a support shaft and positioned downward above the base housing 4C.

  Even when the connector 3C of the third embodiment is used, it is possible to avoid a state in which the EEFL 1 is damaged. In other words, by using a pair of connectors 3C, simply inserting both electrodes 1a of EEFL1 into the openings 8C of both cover housings 4C and pressing both cover housings 5C simultaneously from above the base housing 4C, Since the contact portion 7Ca of the contact 7C is connected to the electrode 1a with an appropriate elasticity by contact pressure, the EEFL 1 can be easily and reliably connected to the electrode 1a without damaging the EEFL 1, thereby reducing costs.

  In the connector 3C of the third embodiment, the contact portion 7Ca of the contact 7C is connected to the side surface of the electrode 1a of the EEFL1 with a contact pressure in the radial direction of the EEFL1, so that, for example, a pair of U-tubes. EEFL having a shape that cannot be handled unless the connector is attached to the board 2 in the same direction can be applied because the contact pressure can be secured.

  Next, an EEFL connector according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 15, this connector 3D is an electrode whose longitudinal section is rectangular (a rectangle including a square), for example, a square here, as compared with the connector 3A of the first embodiment (such as FIG. 1). Since the only difference is that it is configured to be applicable to 1a, the other parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. The procedure for applying the connector 3D of the fourth embodiment to the electrode 1a of the EEFL 1 is also the same as that described for the connector 3A of the first embodiment as shown in FIGS.

  Even when the connector 3D of the fourth embodiment is used, it is possible to avoid a state in which the EEFL 1 is damaged. That is, using a pair of connectors 3D, both electrodes 1a of EEFL1 are inserted into the openings 8D (FIG. 16) of both base housings 4D, and both cover housings 5D are pressed from above the base housing 4D at the same time. The contact portion 7Da of the contact 7D is connected to the electrode 1a with a suitable elasticity with a contact pressure. Therefore, the EEFL 1 can be easily and reliably connected to the electrode 1a without damaging the EEFL1, and the cost can be reduced. We can plan down.

  In the connector 3D of the fourth embodiment, the contact portion 7Da of the contact 7D is connected to the end surface of the electrode 1a of the EEFL1 with a contact pressure in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the EEFL1, so that, for example, like a straight pipe, Suitable for EEFL with a shape that allows a pair of connectors 3D to face each other and attach to the board 2, but attaches the pair of connectors to the board 2 in the same direction, such as a U-tube This is not suitable for the EEFL having a shape that cannot be handled without it because the contact pressure cannot be secured. Further, as a modification of the fourth embodiment, it may be configured to be applicable to an electrode whose longitudinal section is a circle, an ellipse other than a rectangle, an oval, a polygon, or the like.

  In the connectors 3A to 3D of the first to fourth embodiments described above, each contact 7A to 7D is connected to each electrode 1a with a single tangent or contact with a contact pressure. As shown in FIG. 18, the connector 3E for the EEFL according to the embodiment is provided with one contact 7E on each of the left and right side portions (in FIG. 18, it is on the right side as viewed from the front). If only one connector 3E is seen, two contacts 7E are combined with one electrode 1a (FIG. 19) and connected with two tangential lines with contact pressure. Since the configuration of the other parts is the same as that of the connector 3A of the first embodiment (FIG. 1 and the like), the numerals are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. The procedure for applying the connector 3E of the fifth embodiment to the electrode 1a of the EEFL 1 is also the same as that described for the connector 3A of the first embodiment as shown in FIGS.

  Even when the connector 3E of the fifth embodiment is used, a state in which the EEFL 1 is damaged can be avoided. In other words, using a pair of connectors 3E, both electrodes 1a of EEFL1 are inserted into the openings 8E (FIG. 19) of both base housings 4E, and both cover housings 5E are pressed from above the base housing 4E at the same time. As a result, each of the contact portions 7Ea of the pair of contacts 7E facing left and right is connected to the electrode 1a with an appropriate elasticity with a contact pressure, so that the EEFL1 can be easily and sufficiently contacted with a sufficient contact pressure. It can be reliably connected to the electrode 1a, and the cost can be reduced.

  In the connector 3E of the fifth embodiment, the contact portion 7Ea of the contact 7E is connected to the side surface of the electrode 1a of the EEFL1 with a contact pressure in the radial direction of the EEFL1, so that, for example, a pair of U-tubes. EEFL having a shape that cannot be handled unless the connector is attached to the board 2 in the same direction can be applied because the contact pressure can be secured. As a modification of the fifth embodiment, one connector may include three or more contacts, and one contact may be connected to the electrode with a plurality of tangents or contacts with contact pressure.
