実開平02−110792号公報Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 02-110792

配管システムが複雑化するに従い、多くの配管が1つの部材に配管されるようになっている。また、省スペース化の要請などから、配管が格子状に配置されて接続されることも多い。例えば、図11に示したコネクタ部材接続構造の例では、合計4本(4系統)の配管が1つの部材(コネクタハウジング99)に取付けられる。コネクタハウジング99には、コネクタ部材の管状部を挿入するための取付け穴が、4つ(a、b、c、d)、略正方形状に設けられている(図11左側)。 As the piping system becomes more complicated, many pipes are piped into one member. Also, due to demands for space saving, piping is often arranged and connected in a grid pattern. For example, in the example of the connector member connection structure shown in FIG. 11, a total of four (four systems) pipes are attached to one member (connector housing 99). The connector housing 99 is provided with four (a, b, c, d) mounting holes for inserting the tubular portion of the connector member in a substantially square shape (left side in FIG. 11).

この従来技術の例においては、コネクタハウジングには、2種類のコネクタ部材91,92が取付けられる。図12に示すようにコネクタ部材には、それぞれ2つの管状部95,95が設けられている。2つの管状部の間は板状の連結部材でつながれて、コネクタ部材は略H字状に形成されている。コネクタ部材の管状部95、95をコネクタハウジングの穴a、b、c、dに挿入し、コネクタ部材の他端に設けられる接続部a1、b1、c1、d1に配管(ゴムチューブなど)が接続されて、配送システムが構成される。 In this prior art example, two types of connector members 91 and 92 are attached to the connector housing. As shown in FIG. 12, the connector member is provided with two tubular portions 95, 95, respectively. The two tubular portions are connected by a plate-like connecting member, and the connector member is formed in a substantially H shape. Tubular portions 95 and 95 of the connector member are inserted into holes a, b, c and d of the connector housing, and pipes (such as rubber tubes) are connected to connection portions a1, b1, c1 and d1 provided at the other end of the connector member. Thus, a delivery system is configured.

コネクタ部材91,92は、コネクタハウジング99に対して、所定の位置及び姿勢で組み付けられる。この例では、穴aと接続部a1が、穴bと接続部b1が、穴cと接続部c1が、穴dと接続部d1が、それぞれ対応し連絡するように組み付けられるのが、正しい配置である(図11右側)。 The connector members 91 and 92 are assembled to the connector housing 99 at a predetermined position and posture. In this example, the correct arrangement is such that the hole a and the connection part a1, the hole b and the connection part b1, the hole c and the connection part c1, and the hole d and the connection part d1 are in correspondence and communicate with each other. (Right side of FIG. 11).

このようなコネクタ部材の接続において、取付穴の配置が正方形状であり、穴ピッチがほぼ共通しているため、以下に示すように、種々の誤組付けの可能性がある。
(1)正しくは第2コネクタ部材92が取付けられるべき場所に第1コネクタ部材91を取付けてしまうような、部品を取り違える誤組付け(図13(a))
(2)穴aに他端b1を、穴bに他端a1を対応させてしまうような、コネクタ部材91の組付け姿勢を逆にしてしまう誤組付け(図13(b))
(3)穴aと穴bに接続されるべき第1取付部材91の姿勢を間違って、穴aと穴cに接続してしまい、穴cと穴dに接続されるべき第2取付部材92の姿勢を間違って、穴bと穴dに接続してしまう誤組付け(図13(c))
(4)第2取付部材92の姿勢を誤って、穴cと穴dに管状部95、95ではなく他端に設けられた接続部c1、d1を挿入してしまうという、挿入する向きを誤った誤組付け(図13(d))
In such connection of the connector member, the mounting holes are arranged in a square shape and the hole pitch is almost the same, so that there is a possibility of various misassembly as shown below.
(1) Incorrect assembly that misplaces components, such as attaching the first connector member 91 to the place where the second connector member 92 should be attached correctly (FIG. 13A).
(2) Incorrect assembly in which the assembly posture of the connector member 91 is reversed such that the other end b1 corresponds to the hole a and the other end a1 corresponds to the hole b (FIG. 13B).
(3) The first mounting member 91 to be connected to the hole a and the hole b is wrongly connected to the hole a and the hole c, and the second mounting member 92 to be connected to the hole c and the hole d. Wrong assembly that misconnects the holes b and d (Fig. 13 (c))
(4) The orientation of the second mounting member 92 is wrong, and the connecting portions c1 and d1 provided at the other end instead of the tubular portions 95 and 95 are inserted into the holes c and d, and the insertion direction is wrong. Misassembly (Fig. 13 (d))

The present invention is not limited to the individual embodiments shown below, and can be carried out by changing the form. Examples of the liquid delivery system include a system for delivering appropriate amounts of undiluted beverages, water and hot water from beverage vending machines, a collective branch piping system for collecting and distributing liquids, and a hydraulic device including a control valve. . The delivery system may deliver gas.

コネクタ部材は、これら配送システム内において、コントロールバルブなどに各種配管(例えばゴムチューブなど)を接続する箇所に用いられる。図1にも示されるように、コネクタハウジング3(例えばコントロールバルブボディ)に、コネクタ部材1,2の一端(管状部)が挿入され接続される。そして、コネクタ部材の他端側に、ゴムチューブなどの配管(図示せず)が接続されて、コネクタハウジング中の管路と配管とが接続され、一連の液体の配送システムが構成される。 In these delivery systems, the connector member is used at a location where various pipes (for example, rubber tubes) are connected to a control valve or the like. As shown in FIG. 1, one end (tubular portion) of the connector members 1 and 2 is inserted into and connected to the connector housing 3 (for example, a control valve body). And piping (not shown), such as a rubber tube, is connected to the other end side of a connector member, and the pipe line and piping in a connector housing are connected, and a series of liquid delivery systems are comprised.

ここで、コネクタハウジングとは、複数のコネクタ部材が接続される、被接続部材(接続対象物)のことである。コネクタハウジングとしては、例えば、配管の集合・分岐部材や、流れを制御するコントロールバルブやディスペンサなどが例示できる。本実施形態におけるコネクタハウジング3の構造を図2に示す。なお、図1、図2においては、コネクタハウジング3は、コネクタ部材が接続される部位の近くのみを簡略化して示し、他の部分及び詳細な構造の図示は省略している。他の図でも同様である。 Here, the connector housing is a member to be connected (object to be connected) to which a plurality of connector members are connected. Examples of the connector housing include an assembly / branch member of piping, a control valve and a dispenser for controlling the flow, and the like. The structure of the connector housing 3 in this embodiment is shown in FIG. In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the connector housing 3 is shown in a simplified manner only in the vicinity of the portion to which the connector member is connected, and the other parts and detailed structure are not shown. The same applies to other figures.

コネクタハウジング3には、コネクタ部材が挿入される複数の(本実施形態では4つの)取付け穴H1,H2,H3,H4が、格子状に設けられている。本実施形態では、穴H1,H2,H3,H4は正方形状に配置されている。即ち穴H1と穴H2のピッチP1と、穴H3と穴H4のピッチP2と、穴H2と穴H4のピッチP3とは、互いにほぼ同じ寸法とされている。これらの穴は、コネクタハウジングの内部で、液体を送る管路と、それぞれ連通している。 The connector housing 3 is provided with a plurality of (four in this embodiment) mounting holes H1, H2, H3, and H4 into which a connector member is inserted in a lattice shape. In the present embodiment, the holes H1, H2, H3, and H4 are arranged in a square shape. That is, the pitch P1 between the holes H1 and H2, the pitch P2 between the holes H3 and H4, and the pitch P3 between the holes H2 and H4 are substantially the same. Each of these holes communicates with a conduit for sending a liquid inside the connector housing.

また、コネクタハウジング3には、凸部31が設けられている。凸部31は、コネクタ部材1,2が挿入される方向に沿って突出して設けられている。後述するように、凸部31は誤組付けを防止する役割を果たす。本実施形態においては、凸部31は、円柱状(ピン状)に設けられている。凸部はその他角柱状や、板状、筒状、ブロック状であっても良い。 The connector housing 3 is provided with a convex portion 31. The convex portion 31 is provided so as to protrude along the direction in which the connector members 1 and 2 are inserted. As will be described later, the convex portion 31 plays a role of preventing erroneous assembly. In this embodiment, the convex part 31 is provided in the column shape (pin shape). The convex portion may be other prismatic shape, plate shape, cylinder shape, or block shape.

本実施形態においては、コネクタハウジング3に対し、2種類のコネクタ部材、即ち第1コネクタ部材1と第2コネクタ部材2とが接続される。図3に第1コネクタ部材1の形状を、図4に第2コネクタ部材2の形状を示す。コネクタ部材1,2は例えば合成樹脂の射出成形によって形成された部材とすることができる。 In the present embodiment, two types of connector members, that is, the first connector member 1 and the second connector member 2 are connected to the connector housing 3. FIG. 3 shows the shape of the first connector member 1 and FIG. 4 shows the shape of the second connector member 2. For example, the connector members 1 and 2 can be members formed by injection molding of synthetic resin.

第1コネクタ部材1は、管状部12、12を有する。管状部12はコネクタハウジングの穴に挿入される部分である。本実施形態では、第1コネクタ部材1に管状部は2つ設けられており、2つの管路を接続することができる。管状部12,12は、コネクタハウジング3に設けられた穴のピッチP1に対応する間隔で設けられる。管状部の反対側には、接続部13a、13bが設けられている。管状部と接続部とは、その内部が管路としてつながっている。第1コネクタ部材1に配管を接続する際には、接続部13a、13bに接続する。 The first connector member 1 has tubular portions 12 and 12. The tubular portion 12 is a portion inserted into the hole of the connector housing. In the present embodiment, the first connector member 1 is provided with two tubular portions, and two pipe lines can be connected. The tubular portions 12, 12 are provided at intervals corresponding to the pitch P1 of the holes provided in the connector housing 3. Connection portions 13a and 13b are provided on the opposite side of the tubular portion. The inside of the tubular part and the connection part are connected as a pipe line. When connecting a pipe to the first connector member 1, it is connected to the connecting portions 13 a and 13 b.

これら管状部12,12や接続部13a、13bの間をつなぐように延出部11が設けられ、第1コネクタ部材1は略H字状に形成されている。延出部11は、管状部12の外周から、管状部の半径方向外側に向かって延出する部分である。本実施形態においては、延出部は、管状部の軸と直交するような板状に設けられている。 An extending portion 11 is provided so as to connect the tubular portions 12 and 12 and the connecting portions 13a and 13b, and the first connector member 1 is formed in a substantially H shape. The extending portion 11 is a portion that extends from the outer periphery of the tubular portion 12 toward the radially outer side of the tubular portion. In the present embodiment, the extending portion is provided in a plate shape that is orthogonal to the axis of the tubular portion.

第2コネクタ部材2も、第1コネクタ部材1と同様に、2つの管状部22,22と接続部23a、23b、延出部21を有し、略H字状に形成されている。 Similarly to the first connector member 1, the second connector member 2 has two tubular portions 22 and 22, connection portions 23 a and 23 b, and an extension portion 21, and is formed in a substantially H shape.

図1に示すように、第1コネクタ部材1と第2コネクタ部材2とは、並んだ状態でコネクタハウジング3に接続される。そして、これら隣接配置されるコネクタ部材1,2では、それぞれの延出部11,21の一部が互いに嵌合可能な嵌合部とされている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the first connector member 1 and the second connector member 2 are connected to the connector housing 3 in a state where they are aligned. And in these connector members 1 and 2 arrange | positioned adjacently, a part of each extension part 11 and 21 is made into the fitting part which can mutually be fitted.

即ち、本実施形態では、第1コネクタ部材1の延出部11の1つの側縁(図3正面図の右側の側縁)には、嵌合凸片11aが外側に向かって突出するように設けられると共に、嵌合凹所11cが設けられており、この部分が嵌合部となっている。一方、第2コネクタ部材2の延出部21の1つの側縁(図4正面図の左側の側縁)には、嵌合凹所21bと嵌合凸片21aが設けられており、この部分が嵌合部である。 That is, in this embodiment, the fitting convex piece 11a protrudes outward on one side edge (the right side edge in FIG. 3 front view) of the extending portion 11 of the first connector member 1. In addition to being provided, a fitting recess 11c is provided, and this portion is a fitting portion. On the other hand, a fitting recess 21b and a fitting convex piece 21a are provided on one side edge (the left side edge in the front view of FIG. 4) of the extending portion 21 of the second connector member 2, and this portion. Is a fitting part.

コネクタ部材1,2が隣接配置され、接続される際には、嵌合凸片11aと嵌合凹所21bが、嵌合凹所11cと嵌合凸片21aが、それぞれ嵌合して、第1コネクタ部材1の管状部12と第2コネクタ部材2の管状部22の間のピッチが所定の間隔(P3)となって、コネクタハウジング3に組付け可能となる。 When the connector members 1 and 2 are arranged adjacent to each other and connected, the fitting convex piece 11a and the fitting concave part 21b are fitted, and the fitting concave part 11c and the fitting convex piece 21a are fitted, respectively. The pitch between the tubular portion 12 of the first connector member 1 and the tubular portion 22 of the second connector member 2 becomes a predetermined interval (P3), and the connector housing 3 can be assembled.

延出部に設けられる嵌合部(本実施形態では嵌合凸片や嵌合凹所を有する嵌合部)は、第1コネクタ部材1と第2コネクタ部材の部材の種類及び姿勢が正しい場合に嵌合し、種類が間違っている場合や、姿勢が間違っているような場合には、嵌合しないように設けられる。 When the fitting part provided in the extension part (the fitting part having a fitting convex piece or a fitting recess in this embodiment) is the correct type and posture of the first connector member 1 and the second connector member. When the type is wrong or the posture is wrong, it is provided so as not to be fitted.

また、本実施形態においては、第1コネクタ部材1の延出部11には、嵌合凸片11aと嵌合凹所11cが設けられる側とは反対側に、凸片11bが外側に突出するように設けられている。また、第2コネクタ部材2の延出部21の嵌合凸片21aと嵌合凹所21bが設けられる側と反対側には、凸片も凹所も設けられず、延出部は略直線状とされている。 Further, in the present embodiment, the projecting piece 11b protrudes outward from the extending portion 11 of the first connector member 1 on the side opposite to the side where the fitting projecting piece 11a and the fitting recess 11c are provided. It is provided as follows. Further, on the opposite side of the extending portion 21 of the second connector member 2 where the fitting convex piece 21a and the fitting concave portion 21b are provided, neither the convex piece nor the concave portion is provided, and the extending portion is substantially straight. It is made into a shape.

コネクタ部材の延出部11,21がこのように形成されていることによって、例えば、図5に示すように、第2コネクタ部材の姿勢を正しい姿勢とは反対に(管状部軸線周りに反対に、即ち図5において上下さかさまに)取り付けようとしても、嵌合凸片11aが干渉して、第1コネクタ部材1の管状部12と第2コネクタ部材2の管状部22との間の間隔PFが大きくなってしまい、取付け穴のピッチがP3とされたコネクタハウジング3には組付けることができなくなって、誤組付けが防止される。同様に、他の姿勢間違いが起ころうとすると、嵌合凸片11aや嵌合凸片21aや凸片11bが干渉し、組付けを阻害する。 By forming the extending portions 11 and 21 of the connector member in this way, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the posture of the second connector member is opposite to the correct posture (opposite around the axis of the tubular portion). That is, even if it is going to be attached upside down in FIG. 5, the gap PF between the tubular portion 12 of the first connector member 1 and the tubular portion 22 of the second connector member 2 is interfered by the fitting convex piece 11a. Becomes larger and cannot be assembled to the connector housing 3 in which the pitch of the mounting holes is set to P3, thereby preventing erroneous assembly. Similarly, when another posture error is about to occur, the fitting convex piece 11a, the fitting convex piece 21a, and the convex piece 11b interfere with each other and inhibit assembly.

嵌合部の具体的形状は特に限定されない。嵌合凸片や嵌合凹所を設ける位置や間隔などによって、嵌合部の嵌合可能/不可能を設定できる。あるいは、嵌合凸片や嵌合凹所の形状(三角形状、四角形状、半円状など)によって、あるいは、嵌合凸片や嵌合凹所の大きさや数によって、嵌合部の嵌合可能/不可能を設定できる。これらを適宜組み合わせて、隣接するコネクタ部材の種類及び姿勢が正しい場合には嵌合可能であるが、隣接するコネクタ部材の種類及び/または姿勢が正しくない場合には、嵌合しないようにすればよい。 The specific shape of the fitting part is not particularly limited. Whether or not the fitting portion can be fitted can be set according to the position or interval at which the fitting convex piece or fitting recess is provided. Alternatively, the fitting part can be fitted according to the shape of the fitting convex piece or fitting recess (triangular, quadrangular, semicircular shape, etc.) or according to the size or number of the fitting convex piece or fitting concave. Possible / impossible can be set. These can be combined as appropriate so that they can be fitted when the type and orientation of the adjacent connector members are correct, but should not be fitted when the type and / or posture of the adjacent connector members are incorrect. Good.

また、さらに、本実施形態では、コネクタハウジング3に設けられた凸部31に対応して、コネクタ部材延出部(本実施形態では第2コネクタ部材2の延出部21)に、凹部21xが設けられている。 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the concave portion 21x is formed in the connector member extending portion (in the present embodiment, the extending portion 21 of the second connector member 2) corresponding to the convex portion 31 provided in the connector housing 3. Is provided.

凸部31と凹部21xとは、図1に示すように、コネクタ部材1,2が正しい配置・姿勢でコネクタハウジング3に組付けられる場合には、こられが対応して干渉しなくなるように、対をなして設けられている。一方、図6に示すように、嵌合し組み合わせられたコネクタ部材1,2が、管状部軸線周りに90度回転(右回り)した誤った姿勢でコネクタハウジング3に組みつけられようとすると、凸部31と、第1コネクタ部材の延出部11とが干渉して、第1コネクタ部材1を奥まで挿入できなくなり、組付けが阻害されて、誤組付けであることがわかって、誤組付けを予防できる。 As shown in FIG. 1, when the connector members 1 and 2 are assembled to the connector housing 3 with the correct arrangement and posture as shown in FIG. It is provided in pairs. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when the connector members 1 and 2 that are fitted and combined are rotated by 90 degrees around the axis of the tubular portion (clockwise) and are about to be assembled to the connector housing 3, The protrusion 31 and the extension portion 11 of the first connector member interfere with each other, and the first connector member 1 cannot be inserted all the way into the back. Assembly can be prevented.

このようにして、第1実施形態のコネクタ部材接続構造によれば、コネクタハウジング3の取付け穴H1,H2,H3,H4に対し、それぞれ接続部13a、13b、23a、23bが対応するように接続するという、正しいコネクタ部材の接続が実現される。それ以外の誤った組付けが行われようとしても、そのような組付けは阻害されて、誤組付けが予防される。 Thus, according to the connector member connection structure of the first embodiment, the connection portions 13a, 13b, 23a, and 23b are connected to the mounting holes H1, H2, H3, and H4 of the connector housing 3, respectively. The correct connector member connection is realized. If any other wrong assembly is attempted, such assembly is hindered and misassembly is prevented.

凸部と凹部とは、正しい位置及び姿勢の場合に干渉せずに組付けでき、誤った位置または姿勢の場合には、凸部が干渉して、組付けを阻害し、誤組付けを検知可能なものであれば、その具体的形態は特に限定されない。例えば、上記実施形態では、凸部31をコネクタハウジング3に、凹部21xを第2コネクタ部材2の延出部21に設けた例を示したが、凸部をコネクタ部材延出部の側に設け、凹部をコネクタハウジングの側に設けても良い。また、凸部や凹部は、一部のコネクタ部材にのみ設けられ、他のコネクタ部材には設けられていなくても良い。 The convex part and concave part can be assembled without interference in the case of the correct position and posture, and in the case of the wrong position or posture, the convex part interferes and obstructs the assembly and detects misassembly. If possible, the specific form is not particularly limited. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the convex portion 31 is provided in the connector housing 3 and the concave portion 21x is provided in the extending portion 21 of the second connector member 2 has been described, but the convex portion is provided on the connector member extending portion side. A recess may be provided on the connector housing side. Moreover, a convex part and a recessed part are provided only in the one part connector member, and do not need to be provided in the other connector member.

凸部の具体的形態は、前述したように、ピン状、柱上、筒状、板状、ブロック状などとすすることができる。また、凹部の具体的形態は、上記実施形態のように、延出部の周縁を切り欠いた形態であってもよく、貫通穴や、所定の深さを有する穴(有底穴)、溝などであってもよい。また、コネクタ部材の延出部を、凸部と干渉しうる程度に外側に延出して形成された部分と、凸部とは干渉しない程度にしか外側に延出していない部分とによって構成し、後者の凸部とは干渉しない程度にしか外側に延出していない部分を前記凹部とすることもできる(例えば後述する図9の例)。 As described above, the specific form of the convex portion can be a pin shape, a pillar, a cylinder shape, a plate shape, a block shape, or the like. The specific form of the recess may be a form in which the peripheral edge of the extension part is cut out as in the above embodiment, and a through hole, a hole having a predetermined depth (bottomed hole), a groove It may be. Further, the extending portion of the connector member is constituted by a portion formed to extend outward to the extent that it can interfere with the convex portion, and a portion that extends outward only to the extent that it does not interfere with the convex portion, A portion that extends outward only to the extent that it does not interfere with the latter convex portion can be used as the concave portion (for example, an example of FIG. 9 described later).

上記実施形態が有する作用及び効果について説明する。
第1コネクタ部材と第2コネクタ部材とは、それぞれの延出部11,21の一部が互いに嵌合可能な形状を有する嵌合部とされている。そして、嵌合部は、隣接するコネクタ部材の種類及び姿勢が正しい場合には嵌合可能であるが、隣接するコネクタ部材の種類及び/または姿勢が正しくない場合には、嵌合しないように形成されているので、コネクタ部品間の順序や向きの誤りが生ずる可能性の大部分を排除できる。
The operation and effect of the above embodiment will be described.
The 1st connector member and the 2nd connector member are made into the fitting part which has a shape which a part of each extension part 11 and 21 can mutually fit. The fitting portion can be fitted when the type and posture of the adjacent connector member is correct, but is not fitted when the type and / or posture of the adjacent connector member is incorrect. As a result, most of the possibility of errors in the order and orientation between the connector parts can be eliminated.

そして、少なくとも1つのコネクタ部材の延出部とコネクタハウジングとには、互いに対をなすように凸部と凹部が設けられているので、組み合わされた第1コネクタ部材1と第2コネクタ部材2が、誤った姿勢で取付けられる可能性の大部分を排除できる。
従って、上記実施形態のコネクタ部材接続構造によれば、嵌合部、凸部凹部といった、簡単な構成を追加するだけで、コネクタ部材の誤組付けを効果的に抑制・予防できる。
And since the extension part and connector housing of the at least 1 connector member are provided with the convex part and the recessed part which make a pair mutually, the 1st connector member 1 and the 2nd connector member 2 which were combined together are provided. , Most of the possibility of mounting in the wrong posture can be eliminated.
Therefore, according to the connector member connection structure of the above-described embodiment, erroneous assembly of the connector member can be effectively suppressed / prevented only by adding simple configurations such as a fitting portion and a convex concave portion.

さらに、上記実施形態においては、第1コネクタ部材1の延出部11の一方の端縁には凸片11bも設けられ、他方の端縁には、嵌合凸片11aと嵌合凹所11cが設けられていて、両端縁は互いに嵌合しない異なる形状とされている。そして、第1コネクタ部材1の延出部の嵌合部の形態も、第1コネクタ部材の嵌合部同士では、嵌合しないように形成されている。このようにすれば、第1コネクタ部材同士を組みつけてしまうという誤組付けも予防できる。
Furthermore, in the said embodiment, the convex piece 11b is also provided in one edge of the extension part 11 of the 1st connector member 1, and the fitting convex piece 11a and the fitting recess 11c are provided in the other edge. Are provided, and both end edges have different shapes that do not fit each other. And the form of the fitting part of the extension part of the 1st connector member 1 is also formed so that it may not fit in the fitting parts of the 1st connector member. If it does in this way, the incorrect assembly | attachment which will assemble | attach 1st connector members can also be prevented.

本発明は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、種々の改変をして実施することができる。以下に本発明の他の実施形態について説明するが、以下の説明においては、上記実施形態と異なる部分を中心に説明し、同様である部分についてはその詳細な説明を省略する。また、以下に示す実施形態は、その一部を互いに組み合わせて、あるいは、その一部を置き換えて実施することもできる。 The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be implemented with various modifications. Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. However, in the following description, portions different from the above embodiment will be mainly described, and detailed descriptions of the same portions will be omitted. In addition, the embodiments described below can be implemented by combining some of them or replacing some of them.

図7には、コネクタ部材延出部に設けられる嵌合部の変形例を示す。上記第1実施形態においては、嵌合部は、管状部12、22の軸方向と平行なまっすぐな端面を有するように設けられていたが、図7に示す変形例では、嵌合部は異なる端面形状を有している。 In FIG. 7, the modification of the fitting part provided in a connector member extension part is shown. In the said 1st Embodiment, although the fitting part was provided so that it might have a straight end surface parallel to the axial direction of the tubular parts 12 and 22, a fitting part differs in the modification shown in FIG. It has an end face shape.

図7(a)に示す変形例では、第1コネクタ部材4の延出部41と第2コネクタ部材5の延出部51とが、隣接配置される際に互いに嵌合する嵌合部において、嵌合部が、管状部42,52の軸方向に対して傾斜した傾斜面同士で嵌合するようにされている。また、図7(b)に示す変形例では、第1コネクタ部材6の延出部61と第2コネクタ部材7の延出部71とが、隣接配置される際に互いに嵌合する嵌合部において、嵌合部が、階段状に形成された段差を有する面同士で嵌合するようにされている。 In the modification shown in FIG. 7 (a), in the fitting portion where the extended portion 41 of the first connector member 4 and the extended portion 51 of the second connector member 5 are fitted to each other when they are arranged adjacent to each other, The fitting portion is fitted between the inclined surfaces inclined with respect to the axial direction of the tubular portions 42 and 52. Moreover, in the modification shown in FIG.7 (b), when the extension part 61 of the 1st connector member 6 and the extension part 71 of the 2nd connector member 7 are arrange | positioned adjacently, the fitting part which mutually fits In the above, the fitting part is fitted between the surfaces having steps formed in a stepped shape.

嵌合部がこのような形態とされていると、コネクタ部材のいずれか一方の管状部が反対向き(図7において下側に管状部があるべきところを上側に管状部がある状態)となった場合には、嵌合部が嵌合しない。そして、その場合には、第1コネクタ部材と第2コネクタ部材の間隔が所期の間隔よりも広くなるので、両者をコネクタハウジングに組付けることができなくなり、誤組付けが予防される。 When the fitting portion has such a configuration, one of the tubular portions of the connector member is in the opposite direction (where the tubular portion should be on the lower side in FIG. 7 and the tubular portion is on the upper side). In this case, the fitting part does not fit. In this case, since the distance between the first connector member and the second connector member is wider than the expected distance, both cannot be assembled to the connector housing, and erroneous assembly is prevented.

図8には、さらに他の変形例を示す。図8に示す実施形態においては、コネクタハウジングには、6個の取付け穴が格子状に設けられている。
このような場合には、図8(a)に示すように、管状部と接続部をそれぞれ2つずつ有する3種類のコネクタ部材81,82,83を用いて、第1実施形態と同様なコネクタ部材接続構造とすることができる。即ち、第1コネクタ部材81と第2コネクタ部材82の延出部の一部を第1嵌合部とし、第2コネクタ部材82と第3コネクタ部材83の延出部の一部を第2嵌合部とし、第1嵌合部と第2嵌合部がうまく嵌合した場合に限り、3つのコネクタ部材が正しい順序及び間隔で相対的に配置されるようにできる。好ましくは、本実施形態に示すように、第1嵌合部と第2嵌合部の嵌合形状を変えることが好ましい。なお、本実施形態においては、コネクタハウジングにピン状の凸部31を設け、コネクタ部材81の延出部に凸部31に対応した凹部(貫通穴81x)を設けて、組み合わされたコネクタ部材81,82,83の姿勢が正しく組み付けられるようにされている。
FIG. 8 shows still another modification. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the connector housing is provided with six mounting holes in a lattice shape.
In such a case, as shown in FIG. 8A, a connector similar to the first embodiment is used by using three types of connector members 81, 82, 83 each having two tubular portions and two connecting portions. It can be set as a member connection structure. That is, a part of the extending part of the first connector member 81 and the second connector member 82 is a first fitting part, and a part of the extending part of the second connector member 82 and the third connector member 83 is a second fitting part. Only when the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion are well fitted, the three connector members can be relatively arranged in the correct order and interval. Preferably, as shown in the present embodiment, it is preferable to change the fitting shapes of the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion. In the present embodiment, the connector housing 81 is provided with a pin-like convex portion 31, and a concave portion (through hole 81 x) corresponding to the convex portion 31 is provided in the extending portion of the connector member 81. , 82 and 83 are assembled correctly.

また、ピン状の凸部31によって、コネクタ部材82,83が、コネクタ部材81が取付けられるべき位置に誤って取付けられようとしても、その取付が阻害されて、誤組付けであることが検知できる。 Moreover, even if the connector members 82 and 83 are erroneously attached to the position where the connector member 81 is to be attached by the pin-shaped convex portion 31, the attachment is hindered and it can be detected that the assembly is incorrect. .

また、図8(b)に示すように、管状部と接続部をそれぞれ3つずつ有する2種類のコネクタ部材84,85を用いて、第1実施形態と同様なコネクタ部材接続構造とすることもできる。隣接する第1コネクタ部材84と第2コネクタ部材85の延出部の一部は嵌合部とされて、嵌合部がうまく勘合した場合に、2つのコネクタ部材84,85が正しい組み合わせ及び間隔で相対的に配置されるようにできる。なお、本実施形態においては、コネクタハウジングに円筒状の凸部32を設け、コネクタ部材84の延出部に凸部32に対応した凹部(切り欠き84x)を設けている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, a connector member connection structure similar to that of the first embodiment can be obtained by using two types of connector members 84 and 85 each having three tubular portions and three connection portions. it can. When a part of the extension part of the adjacent first connector member 84 and the second connector member 85 is a fitting part and the fitting part fits well, the two connector members 84 and 85 are correctly combined and spaced apart. Can be arranged relatively. In the present embodiment, a cylindrical convex portion 32 is provided in the connector housing, and a concave portion (notch 84 x) corresponding to the convex portion 32 is provided in the extending portion of the connector member 84.

図9には、さらに他の実施形態の例を示す。本実施形態は、第1実施形態と比べ、延出部の形状が異なっている。本実施形態においては、コネクタ部材86,87の延出部は、管状部の外側への張り出しが小さい部分(相対的に引っ込んだ部分)と、管状部の外側への張り出しが大きな部分(相対的に張り出した部分861,862,871)とを有する。そして、コネクタハウジングには、ピン状の凸部31が、コネクタ部材延出部の相対的に引っ込んだ部分よりも外側となる領域に設けられている。また、延出部の相対的に張り出した部分861,862,871は、組み合わされたコネクタ部材86,87が、管状部軸方向周りに回転して誤組付けされるような場合に、凸部31と干渉するような位置に設けられている。このような構成によっても、コネクタ部材の誤組付けが予防される。本実施形態においては、延出部の相対的に引っ込んだ部分が、第1実施形態における凹部21xに相当する。 FIG. 9 shows another example of the embodiment. This embodiment differs in the shape of the extension part compared with 1st Embodiment. In the present embodiment, the extending portions of the connector members 86 and 87 have a portion that projects outwardly from the tubular portion (a relatively retracted portion) and a portion that projects outwardly from the tubular portion (relative). Projecting portions 861, 862, 871). And the pin-shaped convex part 31 is provided in the area | region which becomes an outer side rather than the relatively retracted part of the connector member extension part in the connector housing. Further, the relatively projecting portions 861, 862, 871 of the extension portions are projected when the combined connector members 86, 87 are misassembled by rotating around the axial direction of the tubular portion. It is provided at a position where it interferes with 31. Such a configuration also prevents erroneous assembly of the connector member. In the present embodiment, the relatively retracted portion of the extending portion corresponds to the recess 21x in the first embodiment.

図10には、さらに他の実施形態の例を示す。本実施形態では、第1実施形態と比べ、延出部に設けられる凹部が所定の深さを有する穴(有底穴)である点が異なっている。本実施形態でも、コネクタ部材88,89が正しい配置及び姿勢で組み付けられる場合には、コネクタハウジングに設けられたピン状の凸部31と、コネクタ部材89の延出部891に設けられた有底穴とが対応してうまくはまりあって、組みつけがうまくいく。 FIG. 10 shows still another embodiment example. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the concave portion provided in the extending portion is a hole (bottomed hole) having a predetermined depth. Also in the present embodiment, when the connector members 88 and 89 are assembled in the correct arrangement and posture, the pin-like convex portion 31 provided in the connector housing and the bottomed portion provided in the extending portion 891 of the connector member 89 are provided. The holes fit and fit together, and the assembly is successful.

一方、本実施形態において、コネクタ部材89を、管状部892が反対向きに(図10で本来は下側に管状部892が来るべきところを、上側に来るように)取付けようとすると、延出部に設けられた凹部が有底穴であるために、凸部31が延出部891と干渉して、組付けが阻害され、誤組付けであることが検知でき、誤組付けを予防できる。即ち、コネクタ部材の延出部に凹部を設ける場合には、貫通していない形態の凹部(例えば溝や有底穴)とすると、コネクタ部材を管状部が反対向きになるように組みつけてしまう誤組付けをより効果的に予防できる。 On the other hand, in this embodiment, the connector member 89 is extended when the tubular portion 892 is attached in the opposite direction (in FIG. 10, the portion where the tubular portion 892 should originally be on the lower side is on the upper side). Since the concave portion provided in the portion is a bottomed hole, the convex portion 31 interferes with the extending portion 891, the assembly is inhibited, it can be detected that the assembly is incorrect, and the erroneous assembly can be prevented. . That is, when providing a recessed part in the extension part of a connector member, if it is set as the recessed part (for example, groove | channel or bottomed hole) of the form which is not penetrated, a connector member will be assembled | attached so that a tubular part may become the opposite direction. Misassembly can be prevented more effectively.

コネクタ部材が有する管状部や接続部の数は、上記実施形態に示したように、2つまたは3つであっても良いが、特にこれには限定されず、1つまたは4つ以上であっても良い。複数の管状部や接続部がコネクタ部材に設けられる場合には、それら管状部や接続部が1つの平面に沿って配置されるようにすることが好ましい。 The number of tubular portions and connection portions of the connector member may be two or three as shown in the above embodiment, but is not particularly limited thereto, and may be one or four or more. May be. When a plurality of tubular portions and connection portions are provided on the connector member, it is preferable that the tubular portions and connection portions are arranged along one plane.

コネクタハウジングとコネクタ部材とに、対をなすように設けられる凸部と凹部は、上記実施形態に示したように、1つの凸部を有するように設けても良いが、凸部を2つ以上有するようにしても良い。すなわち、凸部は、少なくとも1つ設けられればよい。 The convex portion and the concave portion provided in a pair on the connector housing and the connector member may be provided so as to have one convex portion as shown in the above embodiment, but two or more convex portions are provided. You may make it have. That is, it is sufficient that at least one convex portion is provided.

コネクタハウジングに挿入されるコネクタ部材の管状部の具体的形状には、特に制限はなく、必要に応じ、固定するためのリング部や、爪、ノッチ、あるいは、シール部材やロック機構などを適宜備えさせても良い。また、コネクタ部材の管状部とは反対側の接続部の具体的形状も、接続部に接続すべき配管にあわせた形状とすればよい。 The specific shape of the tubular portion of the connector member inserted into the connector housing is not particularly limited, and appropriately includes a ring portion for fixing, a claw, a notch, a seal member, a lock mechanism, or the like. You may let them. Moreover, what is necessary is just to make the specific shape of the connection part on the opposite side to the tubular part of a connector member into the shape matched with piping which should be connected to a connection part.

また、本発明は、上記実施形態で説明した技術分野に限定されるものではなく、ガスを送る配管システムや、圧力伝達システムなど、多様な技術分野に応用できる。
The present invention is not limited to the technical field described in the above embodiment, and can be applied to various technical fields such as a piping system for sending gas and a pressure transmission system.

本発明のコネクタ部材接続構造は、例えば液体の配送システムに使用でき、コネクタ部材の誤組付けを予防できて産業上の利用価値が高い。 The connector member connection structure of the present invention can be used, for example, in a liquid delivery system, can prevent erroneous assembly of the connector member, and has high industrial utility value.
