Description

本発明は、電子機器等の装置内部または外部に接続するケーブルの誤接続を防止することができるケーブル接栓装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a cable plugging device capable of preventing erroneous connection of a cable connected to the inside or the outside of an apparatus such as an electronic device.

従来、電子機器等の装置へ接続する汎用ケーブルは、ケーブルコネクタ部の構造が共通化されており、ケーブル差込口が複数ある場合、どの差込口でも接続できてしまうため誤った電気的接続、つまり誤接続が起こりやすい。
このケーブルの誤接続は、電子機器の故障の原因となりやすく、また内部回路の破壊に繋がることもある。 Conventionally, general-purpose cables that connect to devices such as electronic devices have a common cable connector structure, and if there are multiple cable outlets, any of the outlets can be connected, so incorrect electrical connections That is, misconnection is likely to occur.
The erroneous connection of the cable is likely to cause a failure of the electronic device, and may lead to the destruction of the internal circuit.

そのため、ケーブルの誤接続を防止するために多くの対策がなされている。
例えば、ケーブルの誤接続を防止する技術として、シェル付きケーブルコネクタに突起部を設けると共に、接続先である装置のケーブル差込口に切り欠きを設け、ケーブルコネクタの突起部を係合することで、誤接続を防止するように構成されたコネクタの誤挿入防止構造が知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 Therefore, many countermeasures are taken to prevent erroneous connection of cables.
For example, as a technique to prevent erroneous connection of cables, a protrusion is provided on a cable connector with a shell, and a notch is provided in a cable insertion port of a device to which the cable is connected, and the protrusion of the cable connector is engaged. There is known a structure for preventing erroneous insertion of a connector configured to prevent erroneous connection (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

また、互いに隣り合う太陽電池モジュール間に配されたプラグ側、およびソケット側の両２極コネクタは、正負両極が同極同士となった場合の接続を可能とするが、正負両極が異極となった場合の接続を規制するような構成の太陽電池モジュール用コネクタも知られている（例えば、特許文献２参照）。 In addition, both the plug-side and socket-side two-pole connectors arranged between adjacent solar cell modules allow connection when the positive and negative poles are the same, but the positive and negative poles are different from each other. A connector for a solar cell module having a configuration that restricts connection in the case of becoming (see, for example, Patent Document 2) is also known.

さらに、装置と装置とをケーブルで接続する際に、各コネクタを別形状にして、必要なコネクタ郡のみを外部端子として装置の外部に露出させ、各コネクタ郡間をケーブルで接続することで誤接続を防止するように構成された誤接続防止コネクタが知られている（例えば、特許文献３参照）。 Furthermore, when connecting devices with cables, each connector is shaped differently, only the necessary connector groups are exposed as external terminals and exposed to the outside of the device, and each connector group is connected with a cable. An erroneous connection prevention connector configured to prevent connection is known (for example, see Patent Document 3).

さらにまた、一方のコネクタの鍔体のネジ装着位置と、他方のコネクタが設けられた接続部の蓋体が装着されていない挿入孔の配置位置が一致する場合にのみ、一方のコネクタと他方のコネクタとが接続される構成のネットワーク配線機器が知られている（例えば、特許文献４参照）。 Furthermore, only when the screw mounting position of the housing of one connector matches the placement position of the insertion hole where the lid of the connecting portion provided with the other connector is not mounted, A network wiring device configured to be connected to a connector is known (see, for example, Patent Document 4).

また、一方のコネクタの鍔体のネジ装着位置と、他方のコネクタが設けられた接続部の蓋体が装着されていない挿入孔の配置位置が一致する場合にのみ、一方のコネクタと他方のコネクタとが接続される構成のコネクタの接続構造が知られている（例えば、特許文献５参照）。 Also, one connector and the other connector only when the screw mounting position of the housing of one connector matches the position of the insertion hole in which the lid of the connecting portion provided with the other connector is not mounted There is known a connection structure of a connector configured to be connected to each other (see, for example, Patent Document 5).

そして、上記各特許文献の他に、従来のケーブル接続の一例として、図１１に示すように、作業者の目視によってケーブルの誤接続防止を行うことも知られている。
すなわち、電子機器等の装置１４０の一側面には、同一形状のケーブル差込口１４１が複数設けられている。
これに対して、一方のケーブル１１１は汎用のものであり、各ケーブル１１１の先端にはそれぞれ同一形状のコネクタ１１２が設けられている。そして、各コネクタ１１２は装置１４０の各ケーブル差込口１４１に接続が可能となっている。
作業者は、所定のケーブル差込口１４１に合うコネクタ１１２を目視によって確認しながら両者の接続を進めていく。 In addition to the above patent documents, as an example of a conventional cable connection, as shown in FIG. 11, it is also known to prevent erroneous connection of a cable by visual observation by an operator.
That is, a plurality of cable insertion ports 141 having the same shape are provided on one side surface of the device 140 such as an electronic device.
On the other hand, one cable 111 is a general-purpose one, and a connector 112 having the same shape is provided at the tip of each cable 111. Each connector 112 can be connected to each cable insertion port 141 of the device 140.
The operator advances the connection between the two while confirming the connector 112 matching the predetermined cable insertion port 141 with the naked eye.

しかしながら、前記各特許文献に開示された技術では、ケーブルごとにコネクタの形状を変更して、固有のケーブルを準備する必要があり、また、装置とケーブルコネクタの間に固有のアダプタを挿入するなど、コストの増加や信頼性が低下する等の問題があった。
また、前記図１１に示す従来技術では、複数のケーブル１４１を接続する際、ケーブル接続面の表示が見づらいために誤接続してしまう場合や、装置１４０の部材交換時、ケーブル１４１を取り外して再度取り付ける際等に、確認を怠って誤接続してしまう場合がある。 However, in the techniques disclosed in the above patent documents, it is necessary to prepare a unique cable by changing the shape of the connector for each cable, and to insert a unique adapter between the device and the cable connector. There were problems such as an increase in cost and a decrease in reliability.
In the prior art shown in FIG. 11, when connecting a plurality of cables 141, it is difficult to see the display on the cable connection surface, or when the members of the device 140 are replaced, the cable 141 is removed and then connected again. When attaching, etc., there may be a case of incorrect connection without confirmation.

本発明は、上述した各課題を解決するために提案されたものであり、その目的は、ケーブルごとにコネクタの構造を変更することなく互いに対応するケーブルを確実に接続し、ケーブルの誤接続を確実に防止できるケーブル接栓装置を提供することにある。 The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-described problems.

まず、同一形状のケーブル差込口４１を複数有している装置４０に、ケーブル差込口４１と同数で、且つ異なる形状の穴加工を施した第１〜第４の係合穴１８Ａ〜１８Ｄを有するプレート部材１８を、各ケーブル差込口４１と各係合穴１８Ａ〜１８Ｄを合わせた後、例えば接着やねじ止め等の任意の方法で固定する。 First, first to fourth engagement holes 18A to 18D in which holes 40 having the same number and different shapes as the cable insertion ports 41 are formed in the device 40 having a plurality of cable insertion ports 41 having the same shape. The plate member 18 having the above is fixed by an arbitrary method such as bonding or screwing after the cable insertion ports 41 and the engagement holes 18A to 18D are combined.

次いで、各ケーブル１１のコネクタ１２に、それぞれ第１〜第４のガイド部材１４〜１７を止めねじ１９で固定した後、第１〜第４のガイド部材１４〜１７を、それらのガイド部材１４〜１７と同じ形状をしたプレート部材１８の第１〜第４の係合穴１８Ａ〜１８Ｄに係合させると共に、各コネクタ１２を対応する各ケーブル差込口４１に接続する。 Next, after fixing the first to fourth guide members 14 to 17 to the connector 12 of each cable 11 with the set screw 19, the first to fourth guide members 14 to 17 are connected to the guide members 14 to 14. 17 is engaged with the first to fourth engagement holes 18 A to 18 D of the plate member 18 having the same shape as 17, and each connector 12 is connected to the corresponding cable insertion port 41.

（３）外形形状が異なる第１のガイド部材１４等とプレート部材１８の第２の係合穴１８Ｂ等とでは係合できず、ケーブルの誤接続を防止できる構成となっているので、同一種のケーブル１１を複数接続する場合、生産ラインや出荷先で装置を組み上げる時などに、確実に誤接続を防止することで生産効率の向上を図ることができる。 (3) Since the first guide member 14 and the like having different outer shapes and the second engagement hole 18B and the like of the plate member 18 cannot be engaged, and the cable can be prevented from being erroneously connected, the same type When a plurality of cables 11 are connected, production efficiency can be improved by reliably preventing erroneous connections when assembling the apparatus at the production line or at the shipping destination.

（４）ケーブルの誤接続を防止できる構成となっているので、装置の部品交換やケーブル１１の交換などを行う場合に、複数のケーブル１１を取り外し再度取り付ける際などに手際よく行えるようになり、作業効率の向上を図ることができ、また、装置組み立てや部品交換時にやり直しの工数が削減でき、品質やコストの改善を図ることができる。 (4) Since it is configured to prevent erroneous connection of cables, when replacing parts of the device or replacement of the cable 11, it becomes possible to perform it neatly when removing and reattaching the plurality of cables 11. It is possible to improve work efficiency, reduce the number of man-hours for redoing at the time of device assembly and component replacement, and improve quality and cost.

（５）一方のコネクタ１２の外周が第１〜第４のガイド部材１４〜１７で覆われた状態となっており、また、ケーブル差込口４１の外周一部がプレート部材１８で覆われた状態となっているので、コネクタ１２およびケーブル差込口４１を落下物等から保護することができ、それらの部品の長寿命化を図ることができる。 (5) The outer periphery of one connector 12 is covered with the first to fourth guide members 14 to 17, and the outer peripheral part of the cable insertion port 41 is covered with the plate member 18. Since it is in a state, the connector 12 and the cable insertion port 41 can be protected from falling objects and the like, and the life of those components can be extended.

（６）第１〜第４のガイド部材１４〜１７が、それぞれ一方部材１４Ａ等と他方部材１４Ｂ等とからなる二つ割構造となっており、各一方部材１４Ａ等と他方部材１４Ｂ等とでコネクタ１２を挟み込み、止めねじ１９を取付けたり取外したりすることで、各ガイド部材１４〜１７をコネクタ１２に着脱することができるので、着脱作業が容易であり、作業効率の向上を図ることができる。 (6) The first to fourth guide members 14 to 17 each have a split structure composed of one member 14A and the like and the other member 14B and the like, and each of the one member 14A and the other member 14B etc. Each of the guide members 14 to 17 can be attached to and detached from the connector 12 by sandwiching the connector 12 and attaching or removing the set screw 19, so that the attachment / detachment work is easy and the work efficiency can be improved. .

The second guide member 25 is provided with convex numbers 25s, and concave numbers 29s corresponding to the convex numbers 25 are provided on the left and right flanges of the second engagement hole 28B of the plate member 28.

ここで、第１のガイド部材２４とコネクタ１２との取付け位置関係を説明すると、図５に組立てた状態を詳細に示すように、コネクタ１２の装置４０側先端部が、第１のガイド部材２４の装置４０側先端部から突出し、さらにプレート部材２８の第１の係合孔２８Ａを超えた状態となるように、お互いの寸法が設定されている。 Here, the mounting position relationship between the first guide member 24 and the connector 12 will be described. As shown in detail in the assembled state in FIG. 5, the distal end portion of the connector 40 on the device 40 side is the first guide member 24. The dimensions of the plate member 28 are set so as to protrude from the front end of the device 40 and beyond the first engagement hole 28A of the plate member 28.

前記装置４０のケーブル差込口４１は、装置４０の前面奥側に凹んだ状態で設けられている。
そして、このケーブル差込口４１はＦＣ（ファイバーチャネル）や、ＬＡＮポート等として用いられている。 The cable insertion port 41 of the device 40 is provided in a recessed state on the back side of the front surface of the device 40.
The cable insertion port 41 is used as an FC (fiber channel), a LAN port, or the like.

プレート部材２８と装置４０との取付け位置関係は、図５、図６に示すように、プレート部材２８を装置４０の前面に取付けたとき、装置４０のケーブル差込口４１がプレート部材２８の係合孔２４Ａと同列上に配置されている。
そして、一方のコネクタ１２の第１のガイド部材２４から突出した部位が、プレート部材２８の係合孔２４Ａを越えて装置４０のケーブル差込口４１に接続される。このとき、ガイド部材２３等の裏面の凸数字２４ｓと、プレート部材２８の表面の凹数字２８ｓとが係合して、第１のガイド部材２４とプレート部材２８との接合が行われ、さらに一方のコネクタ１２をケーブル差込口４１に差込むことで両者１２，４１が接続され、これによりケーブル１１と装置４０とが接続される。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the attachment position relationship between the plate member 28 and the device 40 is such that when the plate member 28 is attached to the front surface of the device 40, the cable insertion port 41 of the device 40 is connected to the plate member 28. It is arranged on the same line as the joint hole 24A.
Then, a portion protruding from the first guide member 24 of one connector 12 is connected to the cable insertion port 41 of the device 40 beyond the engagement hole 24 A of the plate member 28. At this time, the convex numerals 24 s on the back surface of the guide member 23 and the like and the concave numerals 28 s on the front surface of the plate member 28 are engaged, and the first guide member 24 and the plate member 28 are joined.

そして、互いに対応する凸数字２４ｓ等と凹数字２８ｓ等とのみが係合するようになっている。逆に言えば、第１のガイド部材２４の凸数字２４ｓとプレート部材２８の第２の係合孔２８Ｂとは異なった数字なので、第１のガイド部材２４と第２の係合孔２８Ｂとでは係合できず、これにより、誤接合を防止できるようになっている。
なお、凸数字をプレート部材２８に設け、凹数字を第１のガイド部材２４等に設けてもよい。また、凸数字２４ｓ等と凹数字２８ｓ等とに変えて、例えばＡ、Ｂ等のローマ字を用いてもよく、凹数字２８ｓは、打ち抜き数字でもよい。さらに、対応する凸数字２４ｓおよび凹数字２８ｓ等ごとに異なる色彩のペイントを施してもよく、この場合より一層識別がし易くなり、より確実に誤接合の防止ができる。 As described above, the left and right sides of the convex number 24s of the first guide member 24 and the convex number 25s of the second guide member 25, the first engagement hole 28B of the plate member 28, and the second engagement hole 28B. Recessed numbers 29s and the like provided in the parts are different numbers.
Only convex numbers 24s and the like corresponding to each other and concave numbers 28s and the like are engaged with each other. In other words, the convex number 24s of the first guide member 24 and the second engagement hole 28B of the plate member 28 are different numbers, so that the first guide member 24 and the second engagement hole 28B have different numbers. It is not possible to engage, thereby preventing erroneous joining.
Convex numerals may be provided on the plate member 28 and concave numerals may be provided on the first guide member 24 and the like. Further, instead of the convex number 24s and the like and the concave number 28s and the like, for example, Roman letters such as A and B may be used, and the concave number 28s may be a punched number. Furthermore, different colors of paint may be applied to the corresponding convex numerals 24s and concave numerals 28s. In this case, it becomes easier to discriminate, and erroneous joining can be prevented more reliably.

以上のように構成された第２実施形態のケーブル接栓装置２０によれば、前記（１）、（４）〜（６）と略同様の効果の他、次のような効果が得られる。 According to the cable plugging device 20 of the second embodiment configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects substantially similar to the above (1) and (4) to (6).

（７）複数のケーブル１１を装置４０のケーブル差込口４１に接続する際、第１のガイド部材２４の凸数字２４ｓ等とプレート部材２８の凹数字２８ｓ等を確認することで、容易にケーブル差込口４１の場所を特定することが可能となる。その結果、誤接続を防止することはもとより、ケーブル接続時間の短縮も図れ、作業効率の向上を図ることができる。 (7) When connecting the plurality of cables 11 to the cable insertion port 41 of the device 40, the cable numbers can be easily checked by confirming the convex numerals 24s of the first guide member 24 and the concave numerals 28s of the plate member 28. The location of the insertion port 41 can be specified. As a result, it is possible not only to prevent erroneous connection, but also to shorten the cable connection time, thereby improving work efficiency.

（８）第１のガイド部材２４の凸数字２４ｓと、プレート部材２８の凹数字２８ｓ等ごとに異なる色彩のペイントを施した場合、より一層識別がし易くなるので、誤接続を防止することはもとより、より短時間で且つ確実にケーブルの接続が可能となり、作業効率の向上を図ることができる。 (8) When different colors of paint are applied to the convex numbers 24 s of the first guide member 24 and the concave numbers 28 s of the plate member 28, etc., it becomes easier to discriminate, so that it is possible to prevent erroneous connection. Of course, it is possible to connect the cables in a shorter time and more reliably, and work efficiency can be improved.

その後、一方のコネクタ１２と他方のコネクタ４１とを接続し、これにより、一対のケーブル１２，４３が電気的にも接続されるようになっている。 Accordingly, the guide member 34 of the first guide mechanism 33 is engaged with the inner peripheral portions of the one member 39A and the other member 39B of the second guide mechanism 38, and the flange portion 39h of the other member 39B is engaged. The set screw 19 is inserted from the screw through hole, and the set screw 19 is screwed into the screw hole of the flange portion 39h of the one member 39A, whereby the engaging member 39 of the second guide mechanism 38 is fitted to the outer periphery of the guide member 34. Are engaged, and both 34 and 39 are integrally connected.
Thereafter, one connector 12 and the other connector 41 are connected, whereby the pair of cables 12 and 43 are also electrically connected.

なお、第１のガイド機構３３のガイド部材３４と第２のガイド機構３８とが複数ある場合は、それぞれの外形および内形は全て異なる形状に加工されている。そして、第２のガイド機構３８は、一方のケーブル１２と対をなす他方のケーブル４３に、例えばテープで固定しておくなど予めセッティングされている。
そのため、一方のケーブル１２と他方のケーブル４３とを接続する場合、第１のガイド機構３３の複数のガイド部材３４等と、複数の第２のガイド機構３８等とが係合する組み合わせは唯一のため、ケーブルの誤接続を防止することができる。 When there are a plurality of guide members 34 and second guide mechanisms 38 of the first guide mechanism 33, the outer shape and the inner shape are all processed into different shapes. The second guide mechanism 38 is set in advance, for example, fixed to the other cable 43 paired with one cable 12 with a tape, for example.
Therefore, when one cable 12 and the other cable 43 are connected, there is only one combination in which the plurality of guide members 34 of the first guide mechanism 33 and the plurality of second guide mechanisms 38 are engaged. Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous connection of the cables.

以上のように構成された第３実施形態のケーブル接栓装置３０によれば、前記（１）、（４）〜（６）と略同様の効果の他、次のような効果が得られる。 According to the cable plugging device 30 of the third embodiment configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects substantially similar to the above (1) and (4) to (6).

（９）一方のケーブル１２に係合されたガイド部材３４の外形形状と、第２のガイド機構３８のガイド部材３９の内周とが同一形状となっており、第２のガイド機構３８のガイド部材３９が他方のケーブル４３側に予め配置されているので、第１のガイド機構３３のガイド部材３４と第２のガイド機構３８のガイド部材３９とを係合するだけで、両部材３４，３８を接続することができる。その結果、一方のケーブル１２と他方のケーブル４３との誤接続を防止し、且つ容易に接続を行うことができる。 (9) The outer shape of the guide member 34 engaged with one cable 12 and the inner periphery of the guide member 39 of the second guide mechanism 38 have the same shape, and the guide of the second guide mechanism 38 Since the member 39 is preliminarily arranged on the other cable 43 side, both the members 34 and 38 are simply engaged with the guide member 34 of the first guide mechanism 33 and the guide member 39 of the second guide mechanism 38. Can be connected. As a result, erroneous connection between one cable 12 and the other cable 43 can be prevented and connection can be easily performed.

以上、上記各実施形態を参照して本発明を説明したが、本発明は上記各実施形態に限定されるものではない。本発明の構成や詳細については、当業者が理解し得るさまざまな変更を加えることができる。また、本発明には、上記各実施形態の構成の一部又は全部を相互に適宜組み合わせたものも含まれる。 Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes that can be understood by those skilled in the art can be made to the configuration and details of the present invention. Further, the present invention includes a combination of some or all of the configurations of the above-described embodiments as appropriate.

例えば、前記第２実施形態では、第１のガイド部材２４の凸数字２４ｓ等とプレート部材２８の凹数字２８ｓ等のみが係合するように構成したが、これに限らない。プレート部材２８の第１の係合穴２８Ａの淵部の上方、または下方に、例えば数字の１をペイントし、または１のマークを貼付し、これに対して、第１のガイド部材２４等の一方のケーブル１２側の表面に、上記数字の１に対応する数字の１をペイントし、またはマークを貼付するようにしてもよい。 For example, in the second embodiment, only the convex numerals 24 s of the first guide member 24 and the concave numerals 28 s of the plate member 28 are engaged, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the numeral 1 is painted or a mark of 1 is applied above or below the flange portion of the first engagement hole 28A of the plate member 28. The number 1 corresponding to the number 1 may be painted or a mark may be affixed to the surface of one cable 12 side.

このようにすると、凸数字２４ｓと凹数字２８ｓとを形成する手間が省けることもあって、制作費を安くすることができる。
また、前記第２実施形態では、第１のガイド部材２４等の凸数字２４ｓ等を確認するために、第１のガイド部材２４等を裏返さなければならないので面倒であるが、第１のガイド部材２４等の表面の数字を正面から確認できるので、確認がより容易であり、作業効率の効率を向上させることができる。 In this way, the labor for forming the convex numerals 24s and the concave numerals 28s can be saved, and the production cost can be reduced.
In the second embodiment, since the first guide member 24 and the like must be turned over to confirm the convex numerals 24s and the like of the first guide member 24 and the like, the first guide is troublesome. Since the numbers on the surface of the member 24 and the like can be confirmed from the front, confirmation is easier, and the efficiency of work efficiency can be improved.
