Description

The present invention relates to a cap used when a connector is transported. Furthermore, it is related with a connector apparatus provided with the said cap. Furthermore, it is related with a circuit module provided with the said connector apparatus. Furthermore, it is related with an electronic device provided with the said circuit module.

  For example, in an electronic apparatus such as a portable computer, it has been proposed to automate the work of attaching a connector to a wiring board in order to improve the efficiency of the assembling work.

  For example, in a SMT (Surface Mount Technology) type connector, a reflow method can be adopted as a method of soldering to a wiring board. Therefore, in the SMT type connector, it is easy to automate the process until the connector is soldered to the wiring board.

  When the operation is automated, the connector is transferred onto the printed wiring board using an automatic insertion machine. The automatic insertion machine includes a suction nozzle. The automatic insertion machine conveys the connector onto the printed wiring board after adsorbing the connector by the suction nozzle. Therefore, the housing of the SMT type connector is often formed so as to have an area where the suction nozzle sucks.

  Even in the case of an SMT type connector, it is difficult to secure an area where the nozzle of the automatic insertion machine is attracted to the housing when the insertion opening into which the mating connector is inserted faces upward with respect to the wiring board. In this case, a conveyance attracting member as a cap is used separately.

This kind of conveyance adsorbing member has an upper flat portion that covers a part of the insertion opening that opens upward with respect to the wiring board. The upper surface of the upper flat part is an area where the suction nozzle sucks. By attaching the suction member formed in this way to the connector, the connector is transported by the automatic insertion machine even if the housing of the connector does not have a suction area (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .)
Registered Utility Model No. 3014608

  On the other hand, the I / O connector is frequently attached and detached. Therefore, the insertion opening of the I / O connector opens in a direction substantially parallel to the surface of the wiring board in consideration of the attachment / detachment work of the mating connector.

  In addition, in the I / O connector, in order to suppress the strength of the joint portion from being lowered by the impact generated when the mating connector is attached / detached, acting on the joint portion by soldering between the wiring board and the connector. DIP (Dual In-line Package) type connectors are employed.

  The DIP connector includes a lead portion and a protrusion that penetrate the wiring board. Therefore, it is difficult to automate the soldering operation of the DIP connector to the wiring board. Therefore, the DIP connector is often manually soldered to the wiring board.

  For the above reasons, the I / O connector does not consider the automation of the transfer operation to the wiring board, and therefore does not consider securing the area where the nozzle of the automatic insertion machine is attracted to the housing. .

  However, the I / O connector is also desired to be automated on the wiring board in order to improve the efficiency of the conveyance work to the printed wiring board.

  The SMT connector is fixed to the wiring board with solder. Therefore, it is not preferable that an impact generated when the mating connector is attached or detached is applied to the joint between the connector and the wiring board.

  Therefore, the SMT type connector is not used for an I / O connector that is frequently attached and detached. Further, the insertion opening often faces upward with respect to the wiring board so that the impact generated when the mating connector is attached does not act in the direction of removing the connector from the wiring board.

  The suction member disclosed in Patent Document 1 also corresponds to a connector in which the insertion opening is directed upward with respect to the wiring board. Therefore, the suction member disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not correspond to a connector whose insertion opening portion is oriented in a direction substantially parallel to the wiring board, such as an I / O connector.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to automate the work of transporting a connector on the wiring board in which the direction from the connector toward the connection partner member to which the connector is connected and the direction in which the insertion opening opens are mutually intersecting.

The direction in which the insertion opening of the connector opens and the direction from the connector toward the connection partner member intersect each other. The cap includes a main body portion and an insertion portion. The main body portion is located on the opposite side of the connector with respect to the connection member, and has a suction area on which the transport portion sucks. The insertion part is inserted into the insertion opening.

  In order to achieve the above object, a connector device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a connector and a cap. The connector has an insertion opening into which a mating connector is inserted and is connected to a connection mating member. The cap is detachably attached to the connector, and is adsorbed by a transport unit that attaches the connector to the connection partner member. The direction in which the insertion opening is opened and the direction from the connector toward the connection partner member intersect each other. The cap includes a main body portion and an insertion portion. The main body portion is located on the opposite side of the connector with respect to the connection member, and has a suction area on which the transport portion sucks. The insertion part is inserted into the insertion opening.

  An electronic apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10, taking a portable computer 10 as an example.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the portable computer 10 includes a computer main body 20 and a display unit 30.

  The computer main body 20 includes a housing 21. The casing 21 has a flat box shape. The housing 21 has an upper wall 22, a lower wall 23, a front wall 24, a rear wall 25, a right wall 26, and a left wall 27. A keyboard 28 is installed on the upper wall 22.

  The display unit 30 includes a display unit housing 31 and a liquid crystal display panel 32. The liquid crystal display panel 32 is accommodated in the display unit housing 31. The liquid crystal display panel 32 has a screen 32a for displaying an image. The screen 32 a is exposed to the outside of the display unit housing 31 through an opening 31 a formed on the front surface of the display unit housing 31.

  The display unit 30 is connected to the computer main body 20. FIG. 2 is a plan view of a state in which a part of the housing 21 is cut out from above when the display unit 30 is opened until it is substantially parallel to the computer main body 20. FIG. 2 shows a connection structure between the computer main body 20 and the display unit housing 31. As shown in FIG. 2, the display unit housing 31 is supported on the rear end portion of the housing 21 via a hinge shaft 33.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the display unit 30 is freely rotatable between a closed state and an open state. The closed state is a state in which the display unit 30 lies on the computer main body 20 so as to cover the keyboard 28 from above. The open state is a state in which the display unit 30 stands up with respect to the computer main body 20 so as to expose the keyboard 28 and the screen 32a.

  As shown in FIG. 2, components such as the circuit module 40 are accommodated in the housing 21.

  The circuit module 40 includes a wiring board 41 and a USB connector device 50. The USB connector device 50 includes a USB connector 51 and a cap 60 described later. The USB connector device 50 is an example of a connector device referred to in the present invention. The wiring board 41 is an example of a connection partner member referred to in the present invention.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view showing a range surrounded by F3 in FIG. FIG. 3 shows a state where the USB connector 51 is attached to the wiring board 41.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the USB connector 51 is attached on the wiring board 41, for example, at a position facing the rear wall 25 of the housing 21.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the portable computer 10 as viewed from the rear. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a through hole 25 a through which the counterpart USB connector 100 connected to the USB connector 51 passes is formed at a position facing the USB connector 51 on the rear wall 25. The counterpart USB connector 100 is inserted into the USB connector 51 through the through hole 25a.

  The arrangement of the USB connector 51 and the position of the through hole 25a are not limited to this. For example, when the USB connector 51 is disposed at a position facing the right wall 26, the through hole 25 a is formed in the right wall 26.

  FIG. 5 shows a state where the USB connector 51 and the wiring board 41 are disassembled. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the USB connector 51 includes a housing 52, four contacts 53, and a resin portion 54.

  The housing 52 is formed of, for example, a thin metal plate and has a substantially rectangular tubular shape with both ends opened. One of the openings of the housing 52 is an insertion opening 55a into which the counterpart USB connector 100 is inserted.

  The USB connector 51 is disposed on the wiring board 41 so that the insertion opening 55a faces the through hole 25a. The insertion opening 55 a is opened substantially along the direction C parallel to the surface of the wiring board 41. That is, the opening direction of the insertion opening 55 a is parallel to the wiring board 41.

  The USB connector device 50 is an example of an I / O connector. The counterpart USB connector 100 is frequently attached to and detached from the USB connector 51. Therefore, a pair of spring portions 56 are provided on the upper wall 52a of the housing 52 in order to prevent the counterpart USB connector 100 from being easily detached from the USB connector 51 by repeating the attaching / detaching operation. Similarly, spring portions 57 are provided on both side walls 52 b of the housing 52.

  Since the structures of the spring portions 56 and 57 may be the same, the structure of the spring portion 56 will be described as a representative. A cutout 58a is formed in the upper wall 52a. The cut 58a penetrates the upper wall 52a. A range surrounded by the notch 58 a is the spring portion 56. The spring portion 56 is formed integrally with the upper wall 52a. The pair of spring portions 56 occupies most of the upper wall 52a.

  Similar to the spring portion 56, the spring portion 57 is defined in a range surrounded by a cut 58b formed in the side wall 52b. The cut 58b penetrates the side wall 52b.

  When the mating USB connector 100 is inserted into the insertion opening 55a, the mating USB connector 100 is held by the leaf springs 56 and 57.

  As shown in FIG. 5, protrusions 59 are formed on the side of the other opening 55 b on both side walls 52 b of the housing 52. The protrusion 59 extends toward the wiring board 41. The wiring board 41 is formed with a fitting hole 42 into which each protrusion 59 of the USB connector 51 formed as described above is fitted. The fitting hole 42 penetrates the wiring board 41. The protrusion 59 is fitted into the fitting hole 42 and penetrates the wiring board 41.

  Each contact 53 is accommodated in the housing 52. Each contact 53 is arranged along the direction from the insertion opening 55a toward the other opening 55b. The contact 53 has a contact portion 53a and a lead portion 53b.

  The contact portion 53 a is a portion that is electrically connected to the counterpart USB connector 100 at the contact 53. As shown in FIG. 3, the contact portion 53 a is located on the insertion opening 55 a side in the contact 53.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the contact 53, the opposite side of the contact portion 53a protrudes from the opening 55b. A portion of the contact 53 that protrudes from the opening 55 b is bent and extends in the direction B from the housing 52 toward the wiring board 41. A direction B from the housing 52 toward the wiring board 41 is a direction substantially perpendicular to the wiring board 41. Therefore, direction B and direction C intersect each other.

  The lead portion 53 b is a portion that is electrically connected to the wiring board 41 at the contact 53. The lead portion 53b is formed in a portion of the contact 53 that protrudes from the opening portion 55b.

  The USB connector 51 is a DIP (Dual In-line Package) type connector. Therefore, the lead portion 53 b extends toward the wiring board 41 from the housing 52. The wiring board 41 is formed with a connecting portion 43 in which each lead portion 53b is fitted and electrically connected to the lead portion 53b. For example, solder is applied to the connection portion 43.

  The resin portion 54 is accommodated in the housing 52. The resin portion 54 supports each contact 53.

  The USB connector device 50 includes a cap 60 for transporting the DIP type USB connector 51 formed as described above onto the wiring board 41 by an automatic insertion machine (not shown).

  FIG. 6 shows a USB connector device 50 of the present invention. FIG. 6 shows a state where the cap 60 is attached to the USB connector 51. FIG. 7 shows a state where the cap 60 and the USB connector 51 are disassembled. FIG. 8 is a side view of the state where the USB connector device 50 is attached to the wiring board 41. FIG. 9 is a front view of the state in which the USB connector device 50 is attached to the wiring board 41, as viewed from the lead portion 53b side.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the cap 60 can be attached to and detached from the USB connector 51. The cap 60 has a main body portion 61, an insertion portion 62, and a protrusion 63. The cap 60 is made of resin. The cap 60 of the present embodiment is made of, for example, polyoxymethylene (polyoxymethylene).

  The main body 61 covers the upper wall 52 a of the housing 52 in a state where the cap 60 is attached to the USB connector 51. Therefore, the main body 61 is located on the opposite side of the housing 52 with the USB connector 51 in between with the cap 60 attached to the USB connector 51.

  The main body 61 has a size that covers substantially the entire area of the upper wall 52a. That is, the main body portion 61 covers the pair of spring portions 56. The main body 61 of the cap 60 has a size that can be sucked by a suction nozzle 201 of an automatic insertion machine, which will be described later, and has a suction area A for suction by the suction nozzle 201.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the insertion portion 62 is formed at the end of the main body portion 61 on the insertion opening 55 a side. The insertion portion 62 is bent from the end on the insertion opening 55 a side and extends toward the inside of the housing 52 so as to be accommodated in the insertion opening 55 a in a state where the cap 60 is attached to the USB connector 51.

  When the insertion portion 62 is inserted into the insertion opening 55 a, the insertion portion 62 is sandwiched between the resin portion 54 and the spring portion 56 and is firmly supported by the elasticity of the spring portion 56.

  The protrusion 63 is formed on the end portion 300 on the opening 55 b side in the main body portion 61. The protrusion 63 extends toward the housing 52. The protrusion 63 is formed between the main body 61 of the cap 60 and the upper wall 52a of the housing 52 so that the main body 61 does not contact the upper wall 52a of the housing 52 when the cap 60 is attached to the USB connector 51. A gap S is formed between them. As a result, the cap 60 does not interfere with the spring portion 56.

  Further, the protrusion 63 adjusts the inclination of the main body 61 with respect to the upper surface 52 c of the housing 52 so that the upper surface 61 a of the main body 61 is substantially parallel to the wiring board 41. Therefore, the wiring board 41 and the upper surface 61a of the main body 61 of the cap 60 are substantially parallel.

  Next, a transport method for transporting the USB connector device 50 onto the wiring board 41 will be described. FIG. 10 shows how the USB connector device 50 is transported onto the wiring board 41 by the automatic insertion machine. The automatic insertion machine includes a suction nozzle 201. The suction nozzle is an example of a transport unit referred to in the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 10, first, the cap 60 is attached to the USB connector 51. Next, the suction nozzle 201 sucks the suction area A on the upper surface 61 a of the cap 60. When the suction nozzle 201 is attracted to the upper surface 61 a of the cap 60, the automatic insertion machine transports the USB connector device 50 to a place where the USB connector 51 is to be disposed on the wiring board 41.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the USB connector device 50 is transported to the wiring board 41 along a direction substantially perpendicular to the wiring board 41. However, it is not limited to this. The conveyance path of the USB connector device 50 to the wiring board 41 is not limited.

  After the USB connector device 50 is mounted on the wiring board 41 by the automatic insertion machine, the wiring board 41 advances into a reflow tank (not shown). The solder provided in the connection portion 43 in the reflow bath melts, whereby the lead portion 53b and the connection portion 43 are electrically connected. When the USB connector 51 is connected to the wiring board 41, the cap 60 is removed. The removed cap 60 is used again for another USB connector 51.

  In the portable computer 10 formed in this way, the USB connector device 50 includes a cap 60. The cap 60 has an insertion portion 62 that is inserted and held in the insertion opening 55a, and a main body portion 61 that can attract the suction nozzle 201.

  Therefore, since the USB connector 51 has an area where the suction nozzle 201 can be sucked by attaching the cap 60, the USB connector 51 is conveyed onto the wiring board 41 by the automatic insertion machine.

  That is, even an connector having an insertion opening 55a that opens in a direction C substantially parallel to the wiring board 41, such as an I / O connector such as the USB connector 51, is conveyed onto the wiring board 41 by the automatic insertion machine. become.

  Further, even when the suction nozzle 201 cannot be attracted to the upper wall 52a by forming the spring portion 56 on the upper wall 52a of the housing 52 like the USB connector device 50, the suction nozzle 201 is attracted by the cap 60. A suction area A to be secured is secured. Therefore, even if the connector does not secure the suction area A by having the spring portion 56, it is conveyed onto the wiring board 41 by the automatic insertion machine.

  Further, since the insertion portion 62 is inserted into the insertion opening 55a, it is possible to prevent the cap 60 from being forgotten from the USB connector 51 after the USB connector device 50 is attached to the wiring board 41.

  This point will be specifically described. In the circuit module 40, after components such as the USB connector 51 are connected on the wiring board 41, a continuity test of these components is performed. At this time, if the cap 60 remains attached to the USB connector 51, the insertion opening 55 a is blocked by the cap 60.

  Therefore, when conducting a continuity test, it becomes impossible to insert a test connector into the insertion opening 55a. That is, when the cap 60 is attached to the USB connector 51, the continuity test cannot be performed.

  As a result, even if the cap 60 is forgotten to be removed, this forgetting is detected during the continuity test. Therefore, when the portable computer 10 is completed, forgetting to remove the cap 60 from the USB connector 51 is suppressed.

  The cap 60 has a protrusion 63. Therefore, the main body portion 61 is suppressed from interfering with the spring portion 56. As a result, the insertion portion 62 is firmly supported by the spring portion 56. Therefore, the USB connector 51 is prevented from being detached from the cap 60 while the USB connector device 50 is being transported.

  Furthermore, the USB connector 51 can be attached to the wiring board 41 with the upper surface 52c being substantially parallel to the wiring board 41 simply by making the suction nozzle 201 substantially perpendicular to the wiring board 41 by the protrusion 63. become.

  Therefore, when the USB connector 51 is placed on the wiring board 41, the protrusion 59 and the lead portion 53 b are fitted in the corresponding fitting hole 42 and the connecting portion 43 without adjusting the posture of the USB connector device 50. Become full.

  That is, since the work of adjusting the posture of the USB connector device 50 is not necessary, the efficiency of the work of placing the USB connector device 50 on the wiring board 41 is improved.

  Next, a portable computer 10 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the structure which has a function similar to 1st Embodiment attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits description.

  In the present embodiment, the circuit module 40 includes an IEEE 1394 connector device 70 as an example of a connector having an insertion opening 55 a that opens in a direction C substantially parallel to the surface of the wiring board 41. The IEEE 1394 connector device 70 includes an IEEE 1394 connector 71 and a cap 60. The shape of the IEEE 1394 connector 71 is different from that of the USB connector 51. Therefore, the cap 60 of this embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment. This point will be specifically described.

  FIG. 11 shows the IEEE 1394 connector 71 attached to the wiring board 41. FIG. 12 shows a state where the cap 60 is attached to the IEEE 1394 connector 71. FIG. 13 shows a state where the cap 60 and the IEEE 1394 connector 71 are disassembled.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the IEEE 1394 connector 71 includes a housing 72. The upper surface 72a of the housing 72 is relatively narrow. Therefore, the upper surface 61a of the main body 61 of the cap 60 has an area sufficient for the suction nozzle 201 of the automatic insertion machine to suck. The cap 60 of the present embodiment is made of, for example, polybutylene phthalate (polybutylene terephthalate).

  FIG. 14 shows the inside of the cap 60. The inside of the cap 60 faces the IEEE 1394 connector 71. As shown in FIG. 14, the protrusion 63 of this embodiment is formed on the inner surface of the main body 61. A pair of protrusions 63 are formed. Each protrusion 63 extends from the insertion portion 62 side toward the opposite side of the insertion portion 62.

  In the present embodiment, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, the cap 60 has a suction area A. Therefore, even if the upper surface 72a of the housing 72 is smaller than the suction nozzle 201 as in the IEEE 1394 connector device 70 described in the present embodiment, the suction nozzle 201 attracts the upper surface 72a onto the wiring board 41. It is conveyed by the automatic insertion machine.
