<Embodiment 1>
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The connector 10 according to the present embodiment includes a housing 20, a retainer 40, and a terminal fitting 60, and the housing 20 can be fitted with a mating connector (not shown). In the following description, in the front-rear direction, the fitting surface side of the housing 20 with respect to the mating connector is the front.

  The housing 20 is made of synthetic resin and has a block shape elongated in the width direction as a whole, and a plurality of cavities 21 are provided along the front-rear direction. A terminal fitting 60 can be inserted into the cavity 21 from behind, and a deflectable lance 22 protruding forward is provided on the inner surface of the cavity 21. The terminal fitting 60 that is normally inserted into the cavity 21 is further prevented from moving forward by the front wall 23 of the housing 20 and is elastically locked to the lance 22 so as to be prevented from coming out rearward. The

  The terminal fitting 60 is integrally formed by bending a conductive metal plate or the like, and as shown in FIG. 2, a cylindrical connecting portion that can receive and connect to a male tab (not shown) of the mating terminal. 61, an open barrel-shaped wire barrel 62 that is positioned behind the connecting portion 61 and crimped to the terminal core wire of the electric wire 90, and an open barrel that is positioned behind the wire barrel 62 and crimped to the terminal coating of the electric wire 90 Insulation barrel 63. Of these, the insulation barrel 63 is arranged on the outermost side. The connecting portion 61 is provided with a lance hole 65 through which the lance 22 is fitted when the terminal fitting 60 is properly inserted. A rear end of the connecting portion 61 is a to-be-prevented portion 64 that is arranged to stand substantially vertically, and a retaining portion 49 (described later) of the retainer 40 can be locked from the rear. A plurality of electric wires 90 connected to the terminal fitting 60 are drawn out from the rear surface of the housing 20.

A mounting hole 24 for the retainer 40 is provided in the housing 20. The mounting hole 24 communicates with each cavity 21 and has a shape that opens over three surfaces of the lower surface and both side surfaces of the housing 20, and the retainer 40 can be inserted from below through the lower surface of the housing 20. At the rear edge of the mounting hole 24 on the lower surface of the housing 20, as shown in FIG. 1, a locking surface 25 that can be locked with a protruding portion 47 (described later) of the retainer 40 is provided. The locking surface 25 is exposed to the first locking surface 26 disposed substantially vertically along the depth direction of the mounting hole 24 (insertion direction of the retainer 40), and is exposed downward in the housing 20 to be substantially horizontal. The second locking surface 27 is arranged, and the lower end of the first locking surface 26 and the front end of the second locking surface 27 are connected to each other to form a jaw shape as a whole.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a lock arm 28 that can be bent in the vertical direction (height direction) is provided on the upper surface of the housing 20. The lock arm 28 plays a role of elastically locking the mating connector normally fitted to the housing 20 and holding the mating connector in a detachment restricted state.

  On both side surfaces of the housing 20, a mounting surface 29 to which both side portions 42 (described later) of the retainer 40 are mounted is provided at a position one step lower than the surroundings, and mounting holes 24 are opened in both the mounting surfaces 29. At the same time, a first locking projection 30 and a second locking projection 31 (second temporary locking portion) are provided vertically above the mounting hole 24. Of these, the first locking projection 30 located below has a lower surface that is inclined upward and has an upper surface that is disposed substantially horizontally. Similarly, the two locking projections 31 have a lower surface that is inclined upward and inclined upward, and an upper surface that is disposed substantially horizontally. Between the first locking protrusion 30 and the second locking protrusion 31, a trapezoidal fitting space 32 in a front view in which a lock claw 44 (described later) of the retainer 40 can be fitted is held. A stepped portion 33 that borders the mounting surface 29 is provided on both side surfaces of the housing 20, and both side portions 42 of the retainer 40 can be accommodated in the stepped portion 33 in a fitted state.

  Next, the retainer 40 will be described. The retainer 40 is made of synthetic resin, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, a block-shaped main body portion 41 and plates positioned at both ends in the width direction with the main body portion 41 interposed therebetween. It is comprised by a pair of both-sides part 42 of shape. Both side portions 42 are arranged so as to cover both mounting surfaces 29 in the stepped portion 33, and a lock piece 43 (second temporary locking portion) that can be bent inward and outward is provided at an upper end portion thereof. A lock claw 44 is provided at the tip of the lock piece 43 so as to protrude inward. The lock claw 44 has a lower surface that is disposed substantially horizontally and an upper surface that is inclined upwardly toward the outside.

  The retainer 40 is mounted to the mounting hole 24 of the housing 20 so as to be movable in the vertical direction (direction orthogonal to the insertion direction of the terminal fitting 60) between the temporary locking position and the main locking position. The retainer 40 is held at the temporary locking position by the lower surface of the locking claw 44 contacting the upper surface of the first locking projection 30 and the upper surface of the locking claw 44 contacting the lower surface of the second locking projection 31. On the other hand, when the lower surface of the lock claw 44 comes into contact with the upper surface of the second locking projection 31, the locking claw 44 is held at the final locking position. Further, when the upper surface of the lock claw 44 slides on the lower surface of the first locking projection 30, the lock piece 43 is bent and deformed to guide the assembly operation of the retainer 40 to the temporary locking position. When the upper surface of the retainer slides on the lower surface of the second locking projection 31, the lock piece 43 is bent and deformed to guide the assembly operation of the retainer 40 to the main locking position.

  The main body 41 includes a block-shaped retaining main body 45, an extending portion 46 extending rearward from the rear end of the retaining main body 45, and a protruding portion extending upward from the rear end portion of the extending portion 46. 47 (temporary locking portion on the retainer 40 side). The front end surface of the retaining main body 45 is a stepped surface 48 whose lower end protrudes forward, and this stepped surface 48 is fitted into a stepped receiving surface 35 provided in the housing 20 at the final locking position. As a result, the further upward pushing operation of the retainer 40 at the main locking position is restricted. Further, the upper end portion of the front end surface of the retaining main body 45 is retracted and arranged outside the cavity 21 at the temporary locking position, and allows the terminal fitting 60 to be inserted into the cavity 21 and the terminal fitting 60 to be removed from the cavity 21. On the other hand, at the final locking position, the terminal fitting 60 of the terminal fitting 60 that has been inserted into the cavity 21 and is normally inserted is arranged in parallel with the rear portion 64 so that the terminal fitting 60 comes out of the cavity 21. It is set as the retaining part 49 which regulates the above.

  The extending portion 46 is disposed substantially horizontally, and the projecting portion 47 is disposed so as to stand substantially vertically, and the extending portion 46 and the projecting portion 47 as a whole form a substantially L shape or a substantially T shape in a side view. The projecting portion 47 is elastically swingable and displaceable forward (can be tilted and displaceable) forward with a connection portion (curved portion 51 described later) with the extending portion 46 as a fulcrum. Between 41 and the protrusion 47, a bending space 50 that allows the protrusion 47 to be displaced is retained. The fulcrum of the projecting portion 47 is a curved portion 51 that turns forward in a substantially semicircular arc shape, and the projecting portion 47 is always urged in the standing direction by the elastic force of the curved portion 51.

  The upper end portion of the projecting portion 47 is disposed so as to project into the cavity 21 at the temporary locking position, and intersects the insertion path of the terminal fitting 60 at a substantially right angle. The upper end of the projecting portion 47 is arranged below the upper end of the main body portion 41, but the lower surface of the cavity 21 located rearward across the mounting hole 24 is located lower than the lower surface of the cavity 21 located forward. Therefore, in the temporary locking position, even if the upper end of the main body 41 is not located in the cavity 21, the upper end of the protruding portion 47 is located in the cavity 21.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a jaw-shaped regulating surface 52 that faces the locking surface 25 is provided at the upper end portion of the rear surface of the protruding portion 47. The restricting surface 52 is a first restricting surface 53 facing substantially parallel to the first locking surface 26 at the temporary locking position, and a second facing substantially parallel to the second locking surface 27 at the temporary locking position. It consists of a regulation surface 54. The first restricting surface 53 and the first locking surface 26 can be contacted in the insertion direction of the terminal fitting 60, and the second restricting surface 54 and the second locking surface 27 can be contacted in the moving direction of the retainer 40. It is said that. Specifically, the locking direction of the first locking surface 26 with respect to the first regulating surface 53 is set to the insertion direction of the terminal fitting 60, and the locking direction of the second locking surface 27 with respect to the second regulating surface 54 is temporary. The direction of movement of the retainer 40 from the locking position toward the main locking position is set in the opposite direction. The substantially lower half of the first restricting surface 53 is engaged with the first engaging surface 26, while the substantially upper half of the first restricting surface 53 is disposed in the cavity 21 in an exposed state and interferes with the terminal fitting 60. It is possible. Note that, in a state where the retainer 40 is mounted on the housing 20, the protruding portion 47, the first locking projection 30, and the second locking projection 31 are arranged at positions that overlap with each other in the front-rear direction.

Next, the function and effect of the connector 10 according to this embodiment will be described.
The retainer 40 is inserted into the mounting hole 24 of the housing 20 from below. In the process of insertion, the lock claw 44 elastically climbs over the first locking projection 30 while the locking piece 43 is bent, and the lock claw 44 is moved to the temporary locking position as the retainer 40 reaches the temporary locking position. As shown in FIG. 1, the second restricting surface 54 of the projecting portion 47 is formed on the second engaging surface 27 of the housing 20. It hits from below, and the retainer 40 is held in the movement restricted state at the temporary locking position. In this case, the movement operation of the retainer 40 to the main locking position is regulated by the lock claw 44 coming into contact with the lower surface of the second locking projection 31, and the second regulating surface 54 of the protrusion 47 is By being in contact with the second locking surface 27 of the housing 20, the housing 20 is more firmly regulated.

  In the above state, the terminal fitting 60 is inserted into the cavity 21 of the housing 20 from the rear. In the process of insertion, as shown in FIG. 2, the connecting portion 61 and the wire barrel 62 pass through the projecting portion 47 facing into the cavity 21 without interfering with it. Just before reaching the position), the front end (thickness portion) of the insulation barrel 63 interferes with the upper end of the projecting portion 47, so that the projecting portion 47 tilts into the bending space 50 with the curved portion 51 as a fulcrum. Insertion of the terminal fitting 60 is allowed. When the terminal fitting 60 is normally inserted into the cavity 21 in this way, the terminal fitting 60 is temporarily retained and locked by the lance 22. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the protruding portion 47 is disposed away from the locking surface 25 of the housing 20 to release the locking state with the housing 20, and at the front end of the insulation barrel 63. It keeps contacting.

  Subsequently, the retainer 40 is pushed toward the main locking position. If there is a terminal fitting 60 that is not normally inserted into the cavity 21 and is in a half-inserted state, the retainer 40 interferes with the terminal fitting 60 and further movement operation of the retainer 40 is restricted. It can be seen that the terminal fitting 60 is in a half-inserted state. In that case, the terminal fitting 60 in the half-insertion state may be pushed deeply to reach the regular insertion position, and the retainer 40 may be moved again.

  In the moving process of the retainer 40, the lock claw 44 slides on the lower surface of the second locking projection 31 and the lock piece 43 is opened and deformed. As a result, assembly resistance is generated, but the protrusion 47, the housing 20, Since the locked state is already released, the overall resistance does not increase significantly. When the retainer 40 reaches the final locking position, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the lock claw 44 elastically locks the upper surface of the second locking protrusion 31 to the temporary locking position of the retainer 40. The return operation of the retainer 40 is restricted, and the stepped surface 48 abuts the stepped receiving surface 35 from below so that the upward movement of the retainer 40 is restricted, so that the retainer 40 moves to the full locking position. Maintained in a regulated state. Further, when the retainer 40 reaches the final locking position, the retaining portion 49 of the main body 41 is arranged so as to be able to latch the to-be-removed retaining portion 64 of the terminal fitting 60 from the rear, and the terminal fitting 60 is secondary by the retainer 40. It is locked in place. At this time, the protruding portion 47 keeps its forward tilted state in contact with the front end of the covering of the electric wire 90.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the protruding portion 47 of the retainer 40 in the temporarily locked state is disposed so as to be locked to the locking surface 25 of the housing 20 and face the cavity 21, and this protruding Since the portion 47 interferes with the terminal fitting 60 inserted into the cavity 21 and releases the locked state with the locking surface 25 of the housing 20, the locked state between the locking surface 25 of the housing 20 and the protruding portion 47. There is no need to manually release. For this reason, even if the protrusion part 47 is not a semi-lock structure, the operating force to the full locking position of the retainer 40 does not become excessive.

  In addition, since the locking direction of the second locking surface 27 of the housing 20 with respect to the protruding portion 47 is set in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the retainer 40 to the main locking position, the protruding portion 47 is the book of the retainer 40. Compared with the case of adopting a semi-lock structure along the moving direction to the locking position, the holding force of the retainer 40 at the temporary locking position is enhanced. Further, the locking operation of the retainer 40 at the temporary locking position to the final locking position is also restricted by the locking pieces 43 and the second locking protrusions 31 being locked together. The holding power of 40 is further increased.

  Further, since the housing 20 only needs to be provided with the locking surface 25 as a locking partner of the protruding portion 47, it is possible to avoid the complicated structure of the mold used when the housing 20 is molded.

  Further, since the protruding portion 47 interferes with the insulation barrel 63 located on the outermost side of the terminal fitting 60 and releases the locking state with the locking surface 25 of the housing 20, the protruding portion 47 protrudes into the cavity 21. The amount is kept small.

<Embodiment 2>
Next, a connector 10 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure similar to Embodiment 1. FIG.
In the second embodiment, the housing 20 is provided with a protruding portion 39 disposed so as to face the cavity 21. The protrusion 39 has a shape that rises substantially vertically upward in the mounting hole 24 of the retainer 40, and the retainer 40 at the temporary locking position can be contacted from below on the lower surface thereof, and the rear surface of the upper end portion thereof The terminal fitting 60 inserted into the cavity 21 can be abutted on the surface.

  The retainer 40 is provided with a block portion 59 disposed below the protruding portion 39 when mounted on the housing 20, and the upper surface of the block portion 59 is disposed in a substantially horizontal direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the retainer 40. The engaging surface 58 is capable of contacting the lower surface of the projecting portion 39.

  When the retainer 40 is brought to the temporary locking position, the locking surface 58 of the retainer 40 comes into contact with the lower surface of the projecting portion 39 and the further upward movement (the main locking position side) is restricted, and the first locking is performed. The retainer 40 is retained at the temporary locking position by the locking action of the protrusion 30 and the lock piece 43. In this state, the terminal fitting 60 is inserted into the cavity 21 of the housing 20 from the rear. Then, in the process of insertion, the front end (plate thickness portion) of the insulation barrel 63 of the terminal fitting 60 interferes with the protruding portion 39 protruding into the cavity 21, and accordingly, the protruding portion 39 bends with its root as a fulcrum. It tilts forward with the space 50 </ b> A and is separated from the locking surface 58 of the retainer 40 to release the locked state with the retainer 40. Next, when the retainer 40 is pushed into the main locking position, the lock piece 43 gets over the second locking protrusion 31 and elastically locks the upper surface of the second locking protrusion 31 and the stepped surface 48 is stepped. The retainer 40 is held in the final locking position in contact with the receiving surface 35.

  As in the first embodiment, when the retainer 40 is moved to the full locking position, the locking state between the locking surface 58 and the protrusion 39 of the retainer 40 has already been released, and assembly resistance is generated from here. The operating force of the retainer 40 will not be excessive even if the protruding portion 39 does not have a semi-lock structure. Further, according to the second embodiment, the retainer 40 only needs to be provided with a locking surface 58 as a locking partner of the protruding portion 39, so that it is not necessary to make this a protruding shape. Breakage / breakage of the stop surface 58 is prevented.
