Description

  The present invention relates to a plug structure that can be inserted into a plurality of holes in a connector.

There are standard harness connectors and optional harness connectors. The standard harness connector has plugs connected to all holes, but the optional harness connector has holes that are not connected to plugs. There is a possibility that water or the like may enter the vacant holes of the connectors to which the plugs are not connected. In order to prevent this possibility, plugs are inserted into the vacant holes (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP-A-11-135191 (page 3-4, FIG. 1-2)

  However, when there are many vacant holes in the connector to which the plug is not connected, it is not easy to insert the plugs in all the vacant holes because it takes a long time, and work defects are likely to occur.

  In addition, the number of vacant holes in the connector to which the plug is not connected is not fixed, and there are cases in which it is not possible to cope with it simply by integrating a plurality of plugs.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a point, and it aims at providing the plug structure which has several embedding plugs which can respond to the arbitrary number of vacant holes of a connector.

  The invention described in claim 1 is a head plate that can be divided into a plurality of head portions, and a plurality of plugs that are integrally projected from each head portion of the head plate and can be inserted into a plurality of vacant holes of the connector. And a plug structure.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the plug structure according to the first aspect of the present invention, a split groove is provided on the head plate and defines a plurality of head portions.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, a plurality of head portions and plugs in the plug structure according to the first or second aspect are arranged in a matrix.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the plurality of plugs that can be inserted into the plurality of vacant holes of the connector protrude from the head portions of the head plate that can be divided into the plurality of head portions, the plug is By dividing a plurality of head portions with a plurality of plugs according to the number of vacant holes in a connector that is not connected, it is possible to simultaneously block a plurality of vacant holes in the connector with a plurality of plugs, It can deal with any number of holes in the connector reliably in a short time.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the divided groove portion for partitioning and forming the plurality of head portions is provided on the head plate, any number of head portions can be easily and integrally divided along the divided groove portion. .

  According to the invention described in claim 3, by arranging a plurality of head portions and plugs in a matrix shape, even when a vacant hole of a connector to which a plug is not connected is arranged in a partially chipped state, Can be easily handled.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and usage examples shown in FIGS.

  1 to 3 show a plug structure 10, 11 is a head plate made of synthetic resin or rubber, and this head plate 11 is provided with divided groove portions 13 for defining a plurality of head portions 12. .

  A plurality of plugs 16 that can be inserted into a plurality of vacant holes 15 of the connector 14 are integrally projected from each head portion 12 of the head plate 11 that can be divided into a plurality of head portions 12. That is, each plug 16 is also molded from synthetic resin or rubber.

  The plurality of head portions 12 and the plugs 16 are arranged in a matrix via divided groove portions 13 formed in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of head portions 12 with a plurality of plugs 16 corresponding to the number of vacant holes 15 of the connector 14 to which no plug is connected are separated from the head plate 11 into divided groove portions 13. Then, chop it up by hand or split it into one piece, and insert multiple plugs 16 into the multiple holes 15 in the connector 14 at the same time. Sealing the holes 15 prevents water, dirt, etc. from entering these empty holes 15.

  4 is a diagram in which two head portions 12 and a plug 16 are divided from the head plate 11, and FIG. 5 is a diagram in which five head portions 12 and a plug 16 are divided from the head plate 11. FIG. 7 is a diagram in which the six head portions 12 and the plugs 16 are divided from the head plate 11, and FIG. 7 is a diagram in which the seven head portions 12 and the plugs 16 are divided from the head plate 11.

  As shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 7, when the odd-numbered head portions 12 and the plugs 16 are divided, the cutters are inserted along the dividing grooves 13 in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the head portions are arranged in a matrix. A part of 12 and plug 16 may be cut off.

  According to the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of plugs 16 that can be inserted into a plurality of vacant holes 15 of the connector 14 protrude from each head portion 12 of the head plate 11 that can be divided into a plurality of head portions 12. Therefore, by dividing the plurality of head portions 12 with a plurality of plugs 16 according to the number of vacant holes 15 of the connector 14 to which the plugs are not connected, the plurality of plugs 16 allows the connector 14 to be A plurality of vacant holes 15 can be closed at the same time, and an arbitrary number of vacant holes 15 of the connector 14 can be reliably handled in a short time.

  In addition, since the divided groove portions 13 for partitioning and forming the plurality of head portions 12 are provided on the head plate 11, any number of head portions 12 can be easily divided integrally along the divided groove portions 13.

  Furthermore, by arranging the plurality of head portions 12 and the plugs 16 in a matrix, it is possible to easily cope with the case where the vacant holes 15 of the connector 14 to which no plug is connected are arranged in a partially chipped state.

  The present invention can be used for a plug structure that can be inserted into the plurality of vacant holes 15 of the connector 14.

It is a perspective view showing one embodiment of a plug structure concerning the present invention. It is a top view of a plug structure same as the above. It is a front view of a structure same as the above. It is a perspective view of the example which divided | segmented two head parts and a plug from the structure same as the above. It is a perspective view of the example which divided | segmented five head parts and a plug from the structure same as the above. It is a perspective view of the example which divided | segmented six head parts and a plug from the structure same as the above. It is a perspective view of the example which divided | segmented seven head parts and a plug from the structure same as the above.
