Description

この発明は、メモリーカード、ＩＣカード等のカード状媒体と、プリント回路基板等の回路基板を接続する部分で使用されるカード用コネクタに関する。   The present invention relates to a card connector used at a portion connecting a card-like medium such as a memory card or an IC card and a circuit board such as a printed circuit board.

従来、この種のカード用コネクタには種々の構成のものが知られているが、特に、携帯電話機その他の携帯用小型機器では、ハートカムの構造を利用した、いわゆるプッシュ／プッシュ形式のカード排出機構を備えたカード用コネクタ（例えば、特許文献１、２参照）が多用されている。   Conventionally, there are various types of card connectors of this type, and so-called push / push type card ejection mechanisms that use the heart cam structure, especially in portable telephones and other small portable devices. A card connector (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2) including

プッシュ／プッシュ形式のカード排出機構を備えた従来のカード用コネクタは、概ね図８のように構成されていた。図において、８１がカードである。このカード８１のためのカード挿入部８２が、端子やシェルカバー（これらは図に表れていない）を支持するハウジング８３の底壁上に形成されて、カード８１が矢示８４の方向に挿入でき、そして矢示８５の方向に排出できるようにされている。また、カード挿入部８２の一側にスライド部材８６が設けられていると共に、このスライド部材８６のスライドによって圧縮するコイルスプリング８７が設けられている。   A conventional card connector provided with a push / push-type card ejection mechanism is generally configured as shown in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 81 denotes a card. A card insertion portion 82 for the card 81 is formed on the bottom wall of the housing 83 that supports a terminal and a shell cover (these are not shown in the figure) so that the card 81 can be inserted in the direction of the arrow 84. , And can be discharged in the direction of arrow 85. In addition, a slide member 86 is provided on one side of the card insertion portion 82, and a coil spring 87 that is compressed by sliding of the slide member 86 is provided.

スライド部材８６はカード８１の挿入、排出方向でスライド可能となっており、カード挿入部８２にカード８１を挿入すると、スライド部材８６がカード８１の側縁部と係合して、カード８１と一体となってスライドする。また、カード８１の挿入によってスライド部材８６がカード８１の挿入方向（矢示８４）にスライドすると、コイルスプリング８７が圧縮され、その弾発力がスライド部材８６をカード８１の排出方向（矢示８５）に付勢するようにされている。   The slide member 86 is slidable in the insertion and ejection directions of the card 81. When the card 81 is inserted into the card insertion portion 82, the slide member 86 engages with the side edge portion of the card 81 and is integrated with the card 81. And slide. Further, when the slide member 86 slides in the insertion direction (arrow 84) of the card 81 by inserting the card 81, the coil spring 87 is compressed, and the elastic force of the slide member 86 causes the card 81 to be ejected (arrow 85). ).

プッシュ／プッシュ形式のカード排出機構は、前記スライド部材８６を介して構成され、スライド部材８６の一面に形成したハートカム溝８８に、ハウジング８３側にピボット軸支されて延びているピン部材８９の係合ピンを係合している。   The push / push type card ejecting mechanism is configured through the slide member 86, and a heart cam groove 88 formed on one surface of the slide member 86 is engaged with a pin member 89 extending pivotally on the housing 83 side. The mating pin is engaged.

特開２００１−３６１７３５号公報（図１、２）JP 2001-361735 A (FIGS. 1 and 2) 特開２００３−２４３０９０号公報（図１、２）JP 2003-243090 A (FIGS. 1 and 2)

上記のように、カード８１の挿入によってコイルスプリング８７を圧縮し、その弾発力をカード８１の排出力とするものにおいては、コイルスプリング８７を圧縮する際に、コイルスプリング８７が蛇行若しくは屈曲するという、いわゆる暴れる傾向がある。このため、従来のカード用コネクタでは、コイルスプリング８７の一側をハウジング８３の外側壁やハウジング８３に被嵌されるシェルカバー（図示されていない）の側板と対向させると共に、他側は図８に表れているように、スライド部材８６に延設されたガイド壁９０と対向させてコイルスプリング８７を挟み、コイルスプリング８７が挿入、排出方向に沿って真直ぐに圧縮できるようにしている。尚、コイルスプリング８７の上側及び下側は、ハウジング８３の底壁とシェルカバーの頂板にそれぞれ対向しており、上下方向では暴れない構造となっている。   As described above, when the coil spring 87 is compressed by inserting the card 81 and the elastic force is used as the discharging force of the card 81, the coil spring 87 meanders or bends when the coil spring 87 is compressed. There is a so-called rampage. Therefore, in the conventional card connector, one side of the coil spring 87 is opposed to the outer wall of the housing 83 and the side plate of a shell cover (not shown) fitted to the housing 83, and the other side is shown in FIG. As shown, the coil spring 87 is sandwiched between the guide wall 90 extending on the slide member 86 so that the coil spring 87 can be compressed straight along the insertion and discharge directions. Note that the upper and lower sides of the coil spring 87 are opposed to the bottom wall of the housing 83 and the top plate of the shell cover, respectively, so that the coil spring 87 is not disturbed in the vertical direction.

このように、コイルスプリング８７が真直ぐに圧縮するように、スライド部材８６にガイド壁９０を延設した従来のカード用コネクタは、ガイド壁９０がコネクタの小型化の障害となっていた。この発明はこのような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、小型化が可能な構造のカード用コネクタを提供することを目的としている。   Thus, in the conventional card connector in which the guide wall 90 is extended on the slide member 86 so that the coil spring 87 is compressed straight, the guide wall 90 is an obstacle to miniaturization of the connector. The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a card connector having a structure that can be miniaturized.

上記の目的は、カード挿入部の一側に設けられたスライド部材と、スライド部材のスライドによって圧縮するコイルスプリングとを備え、前記スライド部材が、カード挿入部に挿入されたカードの側縁部と係合してカードと一体となってカードの挿入、排出方向でスライド可能とされ、前記コイルスプリングが、スライド部材がカードの挿入方向にスライドした際に圧縮され、その弾発力がスライド部材をカードの排出方向に付勢するようにされているカード用コネクタにおいて、前記コイルスプリングは、長手方向の一側面がスライド部材のカード側の壁面と直接対向し、他側面がカードのスライド部材側の側端面と直接対向するように配置され、圧縮される際の蛇行若しくは屈曲変形がスライド部材のカード側の壁面とカードのスライド部材側の側端面で防止されていることを特徴とするカード用コネクタによって達成される。   The above object includes a slide member provided on one side of the card insertion portion, and a coil spring that is compressed by sliding of the slide member, and the slide member includes a side edge portion of the card inserted into the card insertion portion, The coil spring can be slid in the card insertion / ejection direction as a unit with the card, and the coil spring is compressed when the slide member slides in the card insertion direction. In the card connector adapted to be urged in the card ejection direction, the coil spring has one side surface in the longitudinal direction directly facing the wall surface on the card side of the slide member and the other side surface on the slide member side of the card. The card side wall and the slide of the card are arranged so as to directly face the side end face, and meandering or bending deformation when compressed It is achieved by a card connector according to claim being prevented by the side end face of the timber side.

この発明のカード用コネクタによれば、カードの挿入によって圧縮されるコイルスプリングは、長手方向の一側面がスライド部材のカード側の壁面と直接対向し、他側面がカードのスライド部材側の側端面と直接対向するように配置され、圧縮される際の蛇行若しくは屈曲変形がスライド部材のカード側の壁面とカードのスライド部材側の側端面で防止されている構成としたので、スライド部材にガイド壁を延設しない構造となって、コネクタの幅方向（図８において左右の方向）の小型化の障害を除くことができる。また、コイルスプリングはスライド部材の延長上には配置されない構造でもあるので、コネクタの長手方向（カードの挿入、排出方向、図８において上下の方向）の小型化にも資することができる。   According to the card connector of the present invention, the coil spring compressed by insertion of the card has one side surface in the longitudinal direction directly opposed to the wall surface on the card side of the slide member, and the other side surface on the side end surface on the card slide member side. Are arranged so as to face each other directly, and meandering or bending deformation at the time of compression is prevented on the card-side wall surface of the slide member and the side end surface of the card on the slide member side. Thus, it is possible to eliminate the obstacle to miniaturization in the width direction of the connector (left and right direction in FIG. 8). In addition, since the coil spring has a structure that is not disposed on the extension of the slide member, it can contribute to miniaturization in the longitudinal direction of the connector (card insertion and ejection direction, up and down direction in FIG. 8).

以下、この発明の実施の形態を添付の図を参照して説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

図１は、実施形態のカード用コネクタを、シェルカバー（図４）を取り外した状態で、カード１と共に示した平面図である。カード用コネクタは、ハウジング１０と、ハウジング１０に並列して装着された複数の端子２０と、ハウジング１０に被せるようにして組み付けられるシェルカバー３０とで構成されている。   FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the card connector of the embodiment together with the card 1 with the shell cover (FIG. 4) removed. The card connector includes a housing 10, a plurality of terminals 20 mounted in parallel to the housing 10, and a shell cover 30 that is assembled so as to cover the housing 10.

ハウジング１０は、プラスチック等の絶縁性部材で図のように成形したもので、底壁１１を備え、底壁１１に形成した端子装着溝１２に端子２０が装着されている。端子２０は、薄金属板を打ち抜いて成形したもので、端子装着溝１２に係合する装着部２１からコンタクト片２２が片持ち梁状に延びていると共に、コンタクト片２２と反対の方向にテール部２３が延びている。端子２０を１本づつ各端子装着溝１２に、コンタクト片２２側から装着すると、各コンタクト片２２は、先端側に行くほど底壁１１から離れるように、斜め上方に延び、反対側のテール部２３は底壁１１の下面よりやや下側のレベルで整列するようになっている。   The housing 10 is formed of an insulating member such as plastic as shown in the figure. The housing 10 includes a bottom wall 11, and terminals 20 are mounted in terminal mounting grooves 12 formed in the bottom wall 11. The terminal 20 is formed by punching a thin metal plate. A contact piece 22 extends in a cantilever shape from a mounting portion 21 that engages with the terminal mounting groove 12, and a tail in a direction opposite to the contact piece 22. The part 23 extends. When the terminals 20 are mounted one by one in each terminal mounting groove 12 from the contact piece 22 side, each contact piece 22 extends obliquely upward so as to move away from the bottom wall 11 toward the distal end side, and the tail portion on the opposite side. 23 are arranged at a level slightly below the lower surface of the bottom wall 11.

シェルカバー３０は、図４に示したように、ステンレス板などの金属板を成形したもので、ハウジング１０の底壁１１を略覆う大きさの方形の頂板３１と、頂板３１の両側縁から略直角に垂下している側板３２、３３とを備えている。側板３２、３３には係合窓３４、３４が複数、開口しており、ハウジング１０の立ち上がり側壁１３（図５参照）の外面及び、立ち上がり側壁１３と反対側の側壁１４の外面に、それぞれ設けられている係合突部１５、１５と係合して、シェルカバー３０をハウジング１０に一体に組み付けられるようにしてある。   As shown in FIG. 4, the shell cover 30 is formed by molding a metal plate such as a stainless steel plate, and has a rectangular top plate 31 of a size that substantially covers the bottom wall 11 of the housing 10, and substantially from both side edges of the top plate 31. And side plates 32 and 33 hanging at right angles. A plurality of engagement windows 34, 34 are opened in the side plates 32, 33, and provided on the outer surface of the rising side wall 13 (see FIG. 5) of the housing 10 and the outer surface of the side wall 14 opposite to the rising side wall 13, respectively. The shell cover 30 can be assembled integrally with the housing 10 by engaging with the engaging protrusions 15, 15.

端子２０を装着したハウジング１０にシェルカバー３０を組み付けると、端子２０を装着した部分に、ハウジング１０の底壁１１とシェルカバー３０の頂板３１で上下を仕切られたカード挿入部４０が形成され、このカード挿入部４０にカード１を矢示２の方向で挿入し、そして矢示３の方向で排出できるようになっている。   When the shell cover 30 is assembled to the housing 10 to which the terminals 20 are attached, a card insertion portion 40 that is vertically partitioned by a bottom wall 11 of the housing 10 and a top plate 31 of the shell cover 30 is formed in the portion to which the terminals 20 are attached. The card 1 can be inserted into the card insertion portion 40 in the direction of arrow 2 and can be ejected in the direction of arrow 3.

プッシュ／プッシュ形式のカード排出機構５０がカード挿入部４０の一側に設けられている。カード排出機構５０は、カード挿入部４０の一側に配置されたスライド部材５１と、コイルスプリング５２と、図示されていないピン部材（図８参照）とで構成されている。   A push / push type card ejection mechanism 50 is provided on one side of the card insertion portion 40. The card ejection mechanism 50 includes a slide member 51 disposed on one side of the card insertion portion 40, a coil spring 52, and a pin member (not shown) (see FIG. 8).

スライド部材５１は、ハウジング１０の立ち上がり側壁１３の内面に沿うように配置される直方体状の本体部５１１と、カード１の挿入方向前端側縁部に形成されている極性決め用切欠部４の斜切縁５に対応させて平面直角三角形状とした係合部５１２とを有している。このようなスライド部材５１が、ハウジング１０の底壁１１上に、本体部５１１を立ち上がり側壁１３の内面に沿わせて設置され、前記矢示２、３のカード１の挿入、排出方向にスライド可能とされている。   The slide member 51 includes a rectangular parallelepiped main body portion 511 arranged along the inner surface of the rising side wall 13 of the housing 10 and a slant of the polarity determining notch portion 4 formed on the front end side edge portion of the card 1 in the insertion direction. The engaging portion 512 has a planar right triangle shape corresponding to the cut edge 5. Such a slide member 51 is installed on the bottom wall 11 of the housing 10 with the main body portion 511 rising along the inner surface of the side wall 13, and can slide in the insertion and ejection directions of the cards 1 indicated by the arrows 2 and 3. It is said that.

コイルスプリング５２は、上記のようにスライド可能に設置されたスライド部材５１とハウジング１０間に、カード１の挿入、排出方向に向けて設置されている。即ち、ハウジング１０の後壁１６に、スライド部材５１の係合部５１２と対向するように円柱状のボス１６１が設けられると共に、係合部５１２にもこのボス１６１と対向するようにボス５１３が設けられており、コイルスプリング５２の一方の端部がボス１６１に嵌められ、他方の端部がボス５１３に嵌められて、ボス１６１、５１３の間でコイルスプリング５２が伸縮できるようにされている。   The coil spring 52 is installed between the slide member 51 slidably installed as described above and the housing 10 in the insertion / ejection direction of the card 1. That is, a cylindrical boss 161 is provided on the rear wall 16 of the housing 10 so as to face the engaging portion 512 of the slide member 51, and the boss 513 is also provided on the engaging portion 512 so as to face the boss 161. One end of the coil spring 52 is fitted to the boss 161 and the other end is fitted to the boss 513 so that the coil spring 52 can be expanded and contracted between the bosses 161 and 513. .

コイルスプリング５２の周囲について説明すると、ハウジング１０の立ち上がり側壁１３側の一側面は、スライド部材５１の本体部５１１のカード１側の壁面５１４に隙間５１５（図５参照）を介して直接対向すると共に、反対側の他側面は、図２、３、５に表れているように、カード挿入部４０に挿入されたカード１の、スライド部材５１側の側端面６に隙間５１６（図５参照）を介して直接対向するようにされている。コイルスプリング５２の上側面は、シェルカバー３０の頂板３１下面に直接対向し、下側面はハウジング１０の底壁１１上面に直接対向するのは言うまでもない。   The circumference of the coil spring 52 will be described. One side surface of the housing 10 on the rising side wall 13 side directly faces the wall surface 514 on the card 1 side of the main body 511 of the slide member 51 via a gap 515 (see FIG. 5). As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 5, the other side surface on the opposite side is provided with a gap 516 (see FIG. 5) on the side end surface 6 on the slide member 51 side of the card 1 inserted in the card insertion portion 40. It is made to oppose directly. Needless to say, the upper surface of the coil spring 52 directly faces the lower surface of the top plate 31 of the shell cover 30, and the lower surface directly faces the upper surface of the bottom wall 11 of the housing 10.

コイルスプリング５２の弾発力でスライドするスライド部材５１のスライドを停止できるように、ハウジング１０の底壁１１上の、スライド部材５１のスライド経路上にブロック状のストッパ部１７が設けられている。底壁１１と立ち上がり側壁１３と一体で設けられている。このストッパ部１７にピン部材（図示せず）の一端をピボット軸支するための軸受孔１７１が設けられ、この軸受孔１７１にピボット軸支されたピン部材の自由端が、前記スライド部材５１を構成した直方体状の本体部５１１の上面に形成されているハートカム溝５１７に係合している。   A block-like stopper portion 17 is provided on the slide path of the slide member 51 on the bottom wall 11 of the housing 10 so that the slide of the slide member 51 that is slid by the elastic force of the coil spring 52 can be stopped. The bottom wall 11 and the rising side wall 13 are integrally provided. A bearing hole 171 for pivotally supporting one end of a pin member (not shown) is provided in the stopper portion 17, and the free end of the pin member pivotally supported in the bearing hole 171 causes the slide member 51 to be supported. It engages with a heart cam groove 517 formed on the upper surface of the configured rectangular parallelepiped main body 511.

前記スライド部材５１には、更に係合フック５３が設けられている。この係合フック５３は、係合部５１２からカード１の排出方向に片持ち梁状に延びている。係合フック５３の先端には、図６に示されているように、テーパ面５３１を備えたフック部５３２が設けられている。カード１を挿入すると、図６に鎖線で示したように、係合フック５３が下側に弾性変形した後復帰して、フック部５３２がカード１の側端部中間部分に形成した切欠部７に係合して、カード１をスライド部材５１にロックできるようになっている。   The slide member 51 is further provided with an engagement hook 53. The engagement hook 53 extends in a cantilever shape from the engagement portion 512 in the card 1 ejection direction. As shown in FIG. 6, a hook portion 532 having a tapered surface 531 is provided at the tip of the engagement hook 53. When the card 1 is inserted, as shown by a chain line in FIG. 6, the engagement hook 53 is elastically deformed downward and then returned, and the hook portion 532 is formed in the middle portion of the side end portion of the card 1. And the card 1 can be locked to the slide member 51.

上記のように構成したカード用コネクタのカード挿入部４０にカード１を挿入すると、先ず、カード１の斜切縁５がスライド部材５１の係合部５１２に係合すると同時に、係合フック５３のフック部５３２がカード１の切欠部７に係合して、カード１とスライド部材５１が一体となる。そして更に挿入を続けると、図２、３に示したように、カード１と共にスライド部材５１がコイルスプリング５２を圧縮しながらカード１の挿入方向にスライドする。このようなコイルスプリング５２の圧縮に際しては、コイルスプリング５２の一側面がスライド部材５１の本体部５１１のカード１側の壁面５１４に直接対向し、他側面はカード１のスライド部材５１側の側端面６に直接対向しているために、コイルスプリング５２の蛇行若しくは屈曲といった暴れる挙動が、スライド部材５１の本体部５１１の壁面５１４またはカード１の側端面６によって防止される。コイルスプリング５２は、その長手方向に沿って真直ぐに変形する。   When the card 1 is inserted into the card insertion portion 40 of the card connector configured as described above, first, the oblique cutting edge 5 of the card 1 is engaged with the engagement portion 512 of the slide member 51 and at the same time, The hook portion 532 engages with the cutout portion 7 of the card 1 so that the card 1 and the slide member 51 are integrated. When the insertion is further continued, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the slide member 51 slides in the insertion direction of the card 1 while compressing the coil spring 52 together with the card 1. When the coil spring 52 is compressed, one side surface of the coil spring 52 directly faces the wall surface 514 of the main body 511 of the slide member 51 on the card 1 side, and the other side surface is a side end surface of the card 1 on the slide member 51 side. 6, the ramping behavior of the coil spring 52 such as meandering or bending is prevented by the wall surface 514 of the main body 511 of the slide member 51 or the side end face 6 of the card 1. The coil spring 52 is deformed straight along its longitudinal direction.

斯くして、コイルスプリング５２とカード一との間には隙間５１６のみが介在する構造として、コイルスプリング５２の暴れる挙動を防止するためのガイド壁の如くの構造物は存在しないようにしたので、それだけコネクタの幅方向（図１において左右の方向）の小型化の障害をなくすることができる。コネクタの長手方向（図１において上下の方向）についても、コイルスプリング５２がスライド部材５１の本体部５１１の延長方向ではなく、本体部５１１の横方向に隣接するように配置される構造となるので、カード１の挿入完了状態を表している図３において、カード１の前端面８からハウジング１０の後壁１６までの距離Ｘを可及的に短くすることが可能で、コネクタの長手方向の小型化にも寄与することができる。   Thus, as a structure in which only the gap 516 is interposed between the coil spring 52 and the card 1, there is no structure such as a guide wall for preventing the coil spring 52 from violating. Accordingly, it is possible to eliminate the obstacle to miniaturization in the width direction of the connector (left and right direction in FIG. 1). Also in the longitudinal direction of the connector (vertical direction in FIG. 1), the coil spring 52 is arranged so as to be adjacent to the lateral direction of the main body 511, not the extension direction of the main body 511 of the slide member 51. In FIG. 3 showing the insertion completion state of the card 1, the distance X from the front end face 8 of the card 1 to the rear wall 16 of the housing 10 can be made as short as possible, and the connector in the longitudinal direction can be reduced. It can also contribute to the conversion.
