本発明の実施形態を図1乃至図8によって説明する。説明中において、図1における上方を雌コネクタ2の前方、下方を雄コネクタ4の前方とする。コネクタ装置1を構成する雌コネクタ2は本発明の一側のコネクタに該当し、図示しない端子金具を内部に有する雌ハウジング3を備えている。雌ハウジング3は合成樹脂材料にて一体に形成されており、後方に端子金具が装着される端子収容部31を有し、その前方には、後述する雄コネクタ4を受け入れるフード部32を備えている。図2に示すように、フード部32の内周面の側部には、後述する雄ハウジング5の突条54と係合する一対のガイド溝32aが形成されている。端子収容部31には、雌雄のコネクタ2、4の嵌合時に、雄コネクタ4の図示しない端子金具が挿入される一対の端子挿入孔33が形成されている。端子収容部31の図示しない雌キャビティには、端子金具の抜け止めのために、撓み可能なランス34が下方より突出している。   An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the description, the upper side in FIG. 1 is the front side of the female connector 2, and the lower side is the front side of the male connector 4. The female connector 2 constituting the connector device 1 corresponds to a connector on one side of the present invention, and includes a female housing 3 having a terminal fitting (not shown) inside. The female housing 3 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin material, has a terminal accommodating portion 31 to which a terminal fitting is attached at the rear, and a hood portion 32 for receiving a male connector 4 described later at the front thereof. Yes. As shown in FIG. 2, a pair of guide grooves 32 a that engage with protrusions 54 of the male housing 5 described later are formed on the side of the inner peripheral surface of the hood portion 32. The terminal accommodating portion 31 is formed with a pair of terminal insertion holes 33 into which terminal fittings (not shown) of the male connector 4 are inserted when the male and female connectors 2 and 4 are fitted. In a female cavity (not shown) of the terminal accommodating portion 31, a lance 34 that can be bent protrudes from below to prevent the terminal fitting from coming off.

図2に示すように、雌ハウジング3の上面には、後述する雄ハウジング5のロック突部55と係合する撓み可能なロックレバー35が形成されている。ロックレバー35は片持ち状のものであってもよいし、両持ち状のものであってもよい。ロックレバー35の後方には、ロック突部55との係合を解除するために操作される操作部35aが一体に設けられている。また、操作部35aの上方には、操作部35aが他部材に当接することにより、誤ってロックレバー35が解除されることを防止するロックカバー36が、操作部35aを覆うように形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, a bendable lock lever 35 that engages with a lock protrusion 55 of the male housing 5 described later is formed on the upper surface of the female housing 3. The lock lever 35 may be cantilevered or may be both-sided. On the rear side of the lock lever 35, an operation portion 35a that is operated to release the engagement with the lock protrusion 55 is integrally provided. Also, a lock cover 36 is formed above the operation unit 35a so as to cover the operation unit 35a to prevent the lock lever 35 from being accidentally released by the operation unit 35a coming into contact with another member. Yes.

図2に示すように、フード部32の下面には、下方への突出部37が一体に形成され、その内方には一対の撓み片38が設けられている。一対の撓み片38は、突出部37の立壁部37aから互いに対向するように横方向に突出している。撓み片38は、それぞれ立壁部37aへの取付位置を基点に、雌コネクタ2の嵌合方向である前後方向(図1の状態から上下方向)に撓み可能とされている。各々の撓み片38の先端部近傍には、前方に突出した当接点38aが形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, a downward projecting portion 37 is integrally formed on the lower surface of the hood portion 32, and a pair of flexure pieces 38 are provided on the inside thereof. The pair of flexure pieces 38 project in the lateral direction so as to face each other from the standing wall portion 37 a of the projecting portion 37. Each of the bending pieces 38 can be bent in the front-rear direction (the vertical direction from the state of FIG. 1), which is the fitting direction of the female connector 2, with the attachment position to the standing wall portion 37a as a base point. A contact point 38 a that protrudes forward is formed in the vicinity of the tip of each bending piece 38.

一方、雄コネクタ4は本発明の他側のコネクタに該当し、図示しない端子金具を内部に有する雄ハウジング5を備えている。雄ハウジング5は、雌ハウジング3と同様に合成樹脂材料にて一体に形成され、その後方には端子金具が収容される端子収容部51が設けられている。端子収容部51には、装着された端子金具が前方に突出する一対の端子孔52が形成されている(図3示)。図示しない雄キャビティには、各々の端子金具の抜け止めのためのランス53が撓み可能に設けられている。雄ハウジング5の側部外周面には、雌ハウジング3のガイド溝32aと係合する突条54が前後方向に延在している。また、雄ハウジング5の図3において下面には、雌雄のコネクタ2、4の嵌合時にロックレバー35と係合するロック突部55(本発明のロック部に該当する)が突出している。   On the other hand, the male connector 4 corresponds to the connector on the other side of the present invention, and includes a male housing 5 having a terminal fitting (not shown) inside. The male housing 5 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin material like the female housing 3, and a terminal accommodating portion 51 for accommodating a terminal fitting is provided behind the male housing 5. The terminal accommodating part 51 is formed with a pair of terminal holes 52 through which the attached terminal fitting protrudes forward (shown in FIG. 3). In a male cavity (not shown), a lance 53 for preventing the terminal fittings from coming off is provided so as to be bent. On the outer peripheral surface of the side portion of the male housing 5, a protrusion 54 that engages with the guide groove 32a of the female housing 3 extends in the front-rear direction. Further, a lock protrusion 55 (corresponding to the lock portion of the present invention) that engages with the lock lever 35 when the male and female connectors 2 and 4 are fitted protrudes on the lower surface of the male housing 5 in FIG.

雄ハウジング5の図3において上面には、その前端面に面するように一対の押圧部56が立設されている。一対の押圧部56は、雄ハウジング5の幅方向中央部に所定間隔を有するように並置され、それぞれ後面には外向きの傾斜面56aが形成されている(図1示)。雄ハウジング5の押圧部56の所定距離だけ後方には、やはり一対の衝突部57が形成されている。一対の衝突部57は、雄ハウジング5の外周面から、図3において上方に延びるように壁状に設けられ、互いに所定間隔を有して並置されている。雌ハウジング3に形成された撓み片38、雄ハウジング5に設けられた押圧部56および衝突部57によって、ロックレバー35およびロック突部55とは別の、嵌合音発生機構を構成している。   A pair of pressing portions 56 are erected on the upper surface of the male housing 5 in FIG. 3 so as to face the front end surface thereof. The pair of pressing portions 56 are juxtaposed at a central portion in the width direction of the male housing 5 so as to have a predetermined interval, and an outwardly inclined surface 56a is formed on each rear surface (shown in FIG. 1). A pair of collision portions 57 are also formed behind the pressing portion 56 of the male housing 5 by a predetermined distance. The pair of collision parts 57 are provided in a wall shape so as to extend upward in FIG. 3 from the outer peripheral surface of the male housing 5, and are juxtaposed with each other at a predetermined interval. The bending piece 38 formed on the female housing 3, the pressing portion 56 and the collision portion 57 provided on the male housing 5 constitute a fitting sound generating mechanism different from the lock lever 35 and the lock projection 55. .

次に、本実施形態によるコネクタ装置1の嵌合方法について説明する。それぞれ端子金具を内蔵した雌雄のコネクタ2、4を対向させ(図1示)、雌ハウジング3のフード部32内に、雄コネクタ4を進入させていくと、雄コネクタ4の端子金具が雌ハウジング3の端子挿入孔33内に進入して、雌コネクタ2の端子金具と係合する。それとともに、雄ハウジング5の前端に形成された押圧部56が、それぞれ雌ハウジング3の一対の撓み片38の前方部に当接する(図4示)。更に、雌雄のコネクタ2、4の嵌合を進行させると、押圧部56がそれぞれ撓み片38を押圧して、雌ハウジング3の後方へ撓ませる(図5示)。   Next, a method for fitting the connector device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. When the male and female connectors 2 and 4 each having a built-in terminal fitting are opposed to each other (shown in FIG. 1) and the male connector 4 is inserted into the hood portion 32 of the female housing 3, the terminal fitting of the male connector 4 becomes the female housing. 3 enters the terminal insertion hole 33 and engages with the terminal fitting of the female connector 2. At the same time, the pressing portions 56 formed at the front end of the male housing 5 abut against the front portions of the pair of flexure pieces 38 of the female housing 3 (shown in FIG. 4). When the male and female connectors 2 and 4 are further fitted, the pressing portions 56 respectively press the bending pieces 38 to be bent rearward of the female housing 3 (shown in FIG. 5).

雌雄のコネクタ2、4の嵌合が進んで、やがて、撓み片38が押圧部56を水平方向に乗越えて、押圧部56との係合が外れると、それぞれの撓み片38が雌ハウジング3の前方に撓んで形状復帰し、その当接点38aが衝突部57の前面に当接する(図6示)。この時、撓み片38は相当の勢いで形状復帰するため、当接点38aと衝突部57との間で音が発生し、雌雄のコネクタ2、4の嵌合が完了したことを知らせる。各々の当接点38aは、たとえ衝突部57に対して撓み片38が傾いて当接しても、双方の当接状態を安定させることにより、雌雄のコネクタ2、4の嵌合が完了したことを知らせる音を確実に発生させることができる。一方、雌コネクタ2のロックレバー35は、雌雄のコネクタ2、4の嵌合が進むにつれ、撓んで雄コネクタ4のロック突部55を上方に乗越えた後、コネクタ2、4の嵌合が完了した状態で、形状復帰してロック突部55と係合する。これにより、雌雄のコネクタ2、4がロック状態となり、その抜け止めを行うことができる。   When the fitting of the male and female connectors 2, 4 progresses, and eventually the bending piece 38 gets over the pressing portion 56 in the horizontal direction and is disengaged from the pressing portion 56, the respective bending piece 38 is attached to the female housing 3. The shape bends forward and returns to its shape, and its contact point 38a contacts the front surface of the collision portion 57 (shown in FIG. 6). At this time, since the shape of the bending piece 38 is restored with a considerable momentum, a sound is generated between the contact point 38a and the collision portion 57 to notify that the fitting of the male and female connectors 2 and 4 is completed. Each contact point 38a indicates that even if the bending piece 38 is tilted and contacted with the collision portion 57, the contact state of both is stabilized, thereby completing the fitting of the male and female connectors 2 and 4. The sound to inform can be generated reliably. On the other hand, the lock lever 35 of the female connector 2 is bent as the fitting of the male and female connectors 2 and 4 progresses, and after the lock projections 55 of the male connector 4 are climbed upward, the fitting of the connectors 2 and 4 is completed. In this state, the shape is restored and engaged with the lock projection 55. As a result, the male and female connectors 2 and 4 are locked, and can be prevented from coming off.

コネクタ2、4の嵌合を解除する場合、まず、操作部35aを押し下げてロックレバー35とロック突部55との係合を解除しながら、ハウジング3、5を互いに引き離す。図7に示すように、更に、双方のハウジング3、5が離されると、雌ハウジング3の撓み片38の後面が、押圧部56の傾斜面56aに当接した後、押圧部56により雌ハウジング3の前方に撓まされる(図8示)。やがて、押圧部56との係合が外れて、撓み片38は形状復帰し、雌雄のコネクタ2、4の嵌合が解除される。尚、押圧部56の後面に形成された傾斜面56aは、コネクタ2、4の嵌合を解除する場合に、その塑性変形を防止して撓み片38を保護するために、押圧部56の後面に当接した撓み片38の撓み量を低減している。   When the fitting of the connectors 2 and 4 is released, first, the housings 3 and 5 are pulled apart from each other while releasing the operation portion 35a to release the engagement between the lock lever 35 and the lock projection 55. As shown in FIG. 7, when both the housings 3 and 5 are further separated, the rear surface of the flexible piece 38 of the female housing 3 comes into contact with the inclined surface 56 a of the pressing portion 56, and then the female portion is pressed by the pressing portion 56. 3 is bent forward (shown in FIG. 8). Eventually, the engagement with the pressing portion 56 is released, the flexure piece 38 returns to its shape, and the fitting of the male and female connectors 2 and 4 is released. The inclined surface 56a formed on the rear surface of the pressing portion 56 is provided on the rear surface of the pressing portion 56 in order to prevent the plastic deformation and protect the bending piece 38 when the fitting of the connectors 2 and 4 is released. The amount of bending of the bending piece 38 that is in contact with is reduced.

本実施形態によれば、雌ハウジング3の撓み片38と雄ハウジング5の衝突部57とが当接することにより、簡単な構成で、コネクタ2、4嵌合時に、ロックレバー35以外に音を発生させることができ、ロックレバー35を操作して嵌合させても、コネクタ2、4同士が嵌合したことを知らせる音を発生させることができ、コネクタ2、4が嵌合したことが作業者に分かる。また、衝突部57は雄ハウジング5において、押圧部56の後方に形成されたことにより、嵌合したハウジング3、5を互いに引き離すと、衝突部57が撓み片38から離れるため、撓み片38が衝突部57と干渉することなく、嵌合時と反対方向に撓むことができ、コネクタ2、4の嵌合解除に何ら支障がない。また、撓み片38と押圧部56との係合により、コネクタ2、4の嵌合作業に節度感をもたせることができ、コネクタ2、4の不完全嵌合を防止できる。   According to the present embodiment, the bending piece 38 of the female housing 3 and the collision portion 57 of the male housing 5 come into contact with each other, thereby generating a sound other than the lock lever 35 when the connectors 2 and 4 are fitted with a simple configuration. Even if the lock lever 35 is operated and fitted, a sound can be generated to notify that the connectors 2 and 4 are fitted together. I understand. Further, since the collision part 57 is formed behind the pressing part 56 in the male housing 5, when the fitted housings 3 and 5 are pulled apart from each other, the collision part 57 is separated from the bending piece 38. Without interfering with the collision part 57, it can bend in the direction opposite to that at the time of fitting, and there is no problem in releasing the fitting of the connectors 2 and 4. Further, the engagement between the bending piece 38 and the pressing portion 56 can give a feeling of moderation to the fitting work of the connectors 2 and 4, and can prevent the incomplete fitting of the connectors 2 and 4.
