Along with the turn, an actuator brings each of the plurality of contacts into a state of sliding back and forth on a contact terminal part while abutting on the contact terminal part in a flexible printed wiring board inserted into the housing.

Description

  In the invention described in the claims of the present application, a contact terminal portion provided on a wiring plate member such as a flexible printed wiring board (FPC) or a flexible flat cable (FFC) is a solid printed wiring board or the like. It is related with the connector apparatus provided with the contact which press-contacts to the contact terminal part in a wiring-plate-like member in the state connected to the wiring board in order to make it the state electrically connected to the wiring board.

  Wiring board members such as flexible printed wiring boards and flexible flat cables that are mounted on various electronic devices are electrically connected to the wiring board where various electrical components are mounted. In many cases, this is performed by using a connector device that has been fixed and fixed. The connector device used for attaching the wiring board member to the wiring board has a conductive contact that is contact-connected to a contact terminal portion provided on the wiring board member, and through the contact. Then, the contact terminal portion provided on the wiring plate member is electrically connected to the wiring portion provided on the wiring board.

  For example, a connector device used for attaching a wiring plate-like member, which is a flexible flat-plate cable, to a wiring board, which has been conventionally proposed, is provided with an insertion portion into which the wiring plate-like member is inserted. It is assumed to have a housing formed of an insulating material disposed on the substrate. When the wiring board member is inserted into the housing through the insertion portion, the plurality of contact terminal portions provided on the wiring board member respectively correspond to the plurality of contact terminal portions. A contact and a housing are provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the housing, and engage with each of the plurality of contacts to displace the respective parts of the plurality of contacts when rotated, thereby bringing the plurality of contacts into contact with each other. Actuators are provided to press contact the terminal portions.

  The actuator has an elongated shape that extends along the arrangement direction of a plurality of contacts, and is provided with a cam portion and an operation portion. The cam portion engages with each of the plurality of contacts, and the operation portion is operated. As a result, it is rotated with respect to the housing.

  Each of the plurality of contacts is formed of a conductive elastic material, and has a fixed portion that is a portion fixed to the housing and a movable portion that is a portion that is connected to the fixed portion by the connecting portion and can be displaced. Is done. The fixed portion is electrically connected to a wiring portion such as a printed wiring portion on the wiring board on which the housing is disposed, and the movable portion is in contact with the contact terminal portion provided on the wiring plate member. With the portion provided, it is displaced by the cam portion of the actuator.

  In such a connector device, when the wiring plate member is inserted into the housing disposed on the wiring board through the insertion portion and the actuator is rotated in a predetermined direction, the actuator is connected to each of the plurality of contacts. The movable part is displaced, and the contact part of the movable part is brought into a pressing contact state with respect to a corresponding one of the plurality of contact terminal parts provided on the wiring plate member. Further, the actuator is in a state where the contact portion of the movable portion in each of the plurality of contacts is in press contact with the corresponding one of the plurality of contact terminal portions provided on the wiring plate member. When the actuator is rotated in a direction opposite to the direction, the actuator displaces the movable portion of each of the plurality of contacts, and the contact portion of the movable portion is connected to the plurality of contact terminal portions provided on the wiring plate member. Release from pressing contact with the corresponding one of them.

  In such a conventionally proposed connector device, for example, a plurality of contact terminal portions provided on a wiring board member inserted through the insertion portion into the housing have fine foreign matters such as dust on their surfaces. It is considered that the contact portions of the plurality of contacts arranged in the housing are in press contact with the plurality of contact terminal portions of the wiring plate-like member. It is done. In such a case, the contact portion of each of the plurality of contacts arranged in the housing is pressed into contact with the corresponding one of the plurality of contact terminal portions of the wiring plate member inserted through the insertion portion into the housing. In taking the state to be done, a fine foreign matter is interposed between the contact portion in the contact and the contact terminal portion in the wiring plate member, so that the contact portion in the contact and the contact terminal portion in the wiring plate member are There is a possibility that a situation where the electrical contact resistance between the two becomes remarkably high or a situation where both of them are electrically insulated is imitated, and the proper electrical connection state is not achieved.

  Therefore, as described above, the connector device includes a plurality of contacts arranged in the housing and an actuator that is rotatable with respect to the housing, and the contact at each of the plurality of contacts. When the part is in contact with the contact terminal part of the wiring plate member inserted through the insertion part into the housing, contact is made by removing fine foreign matters such as dust adhering to the surface of the contact terminal part. In order to avoid a situation in which the contact portion in the above and the contact terminal portion in the wiring plate-like member are not properly connected to each other have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the connector device (connector (10)) disclosed in Patent Document 1, a plurality of contacts (20B; 20B ′) are arranged in a housing (11) provided with an insertion portion (cavity (30)). In addition, an actuator (12) that is rotatable with respect to the housing has a cam portion (cam shaft portion (40B)) that engages with a plurality of contacts. A wiring plate member (flat cable (200)) is inserted into the housing in a direction orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the plurality of contacts through the insertion portion. And a some contact press-contacts the contact terminal part (conductor pattern part) in the wiring board-shaped member inserted in the housing through the insertion part. Further, if necessary, the wiring plate member is extracted from the housing through the insertion portion. Hereinafter, the insertion direction of the wiring plate member with respect to the housing is referred to as a plate member insertion direction.

  Each of the plurality of contacts includes a fixed part (base part (22)) fixed to the housing, a movable part (contact beam (23)) that can be displaced relative to the housing, and a movable part connected to the fixed part. A connecting portion (spring portion (24)) that can be displaced together with the movable portion, and a contact portion (tip portion (23a)) that contacts the contact terminal portion of the wiring plate-like member at the distal end of the movable portion. Is formed. The connecting portion is in a state where the cam portion of the actuator is pressed and engaged with the connecting portion.

  In such a connector device shown in Patent Document 1, with the wiring plate member inserted into the housing through the insertion portion, a plurality of contacts can be brought into a pressing contact state with respect to the contact terminal portion in the wiring plate member. When the actuator is rotated with respect to the housing, the cam portion of the actuator presses the connecting portion in each of the plurality of contacts, and displaces the connecting portion in the direction opposite to the plate member insertion direction. With such displacement of the connecting portion, the movable portion of each of the plurality of contacts is displaced in a direction opposite to the plate-like member insertion direction and a direction orthogonal to the plate-like member insertion direction. Thereby, the contact part formed in the movable part in each of the plurality of contacts is pressed against the contact terminal part in the wiring plate member inserted into the housing and in the direction opposite to the direction in which the plate member is inserted. It is supposed to slide.

  In this way, the contact portion of the contact is pressed against and contacted with the contact terminal portion of the wiring board member, so that the surface of the contact terminal portion of the wiring board member has fine dust or the like on the surface. If a foreign object is attached, the contact part of the contact sliding against the contact terminal part removes the fine foreign substance attached to the surface of the contact terminal part. It is expected that a situation in which the contact terminal portion of the member is not properly connected is avoided.

In the state of pressing and contacting the contact terminal portion of the wiring board member inserted through, it is intended to remove fine foreign matters such as dust adhering to the surface of the plurality of contact terminal portions provided on the wiring board member. In the conventional connector device, the space required for displacing the connecting portion and the movable portion of each of the plurality of contacts in the direction opposite to the insertion direction of the plate-like member by the cam portion of the actuator is provided in the housing. When it sees from the insertion part in, it has to prepare in the site | part which becomes the back of the connection part in several contacts. The provision of such a space in the housing leads to an increase in the dimension in the insertion direction of the plate-like member in the housing, that is, the depth dimension as viewed from the insertion portion provided in the housing. This has the disadvantage of hindering the miniaturization of the entire connector device including the housing.

  In view of such points, the invention described in the claims of the present application is provided with a plate-like member insertion portion that is used, for example, for mounting a wiring plate-like member such as a flexible printed wiring board to the wiring board.

Without imitation, the contact portions of the multiple contacts and the contact terminal portions of the wiring board member are not properly connected. To provide what it is possible to avoid the situation.

  A connector device according to any one of claims 1 to 8 in the claims of the present application (hereinafter referred to as the present invention) includes a housing provided with a plate-like member insertion portion, a housing A plurality of contacts that are arranged at positions corresponding to the plurality of contact terminal portions of the wiring plate-like member inserted into the housing through the plate-like member insertion portion, and are rotatable with respect to the housing The first stationary position and the second stationary position are selectively arranged, and the wiring plate member is inserted into the housing through the plate member insertion portion, so that the first stationary position is changed to the second stationary position. When the transition is made, the plurality of contacts are brought into a pressing contact state with respect to the plurality of contact terminal portions in the wiring plate-like member, and the transition is made from the second stationary position to the first stationary position. And an actuator for releasing the plurality of contacts from the pressed contact state with respect to the plurality of contact terminal portions in the wiring plate-like member when each of the plurality of contacts is engaged, and the engagement portion and the wiring plate-like member each engaging with the actuator. A contact portion that presses and contacts the contact terminal portion, and an actuator is provided with a cam portion, a first pressing portion, and a second pressing portion that exert a pressing action on the engaging portion of the contact, and a wiring board And the cam portion presses the contact engaging portion in the first direction at the time of transition from the first stationary position to the second stationary position when the shaped member is inserted into the housing through the plate-like member insertion portion, The first and second pressing portions sequentially press the contact engaging portions in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and a third direction opposite to the second direction, thereby providing a plurality of contacts. Are those wherein the assume a state in which slide reciprocally in the contact portion of the respective transfected into contact terminal provided on the flat circuit member against the contact terminal while in contact.

  In particular, in the connector device according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the actuator includes a plurality of first pressing portions respectively corresponding to the engagement portions of the plurality of contacts. A plurality of second pressing portions respectively corresponding to the engaging portions of the plurality of contacts, and each of the plurality of first pressing portions and the plurality of second pressing portions is along the arrangement direction of the plurality of contacts. It is arranged in an array.

  When the connector device according to the present invention configured as described above is actually used, the housing is arranged on the wiring board. In the connector device according to the present invention, the actuator is moved from the first stationary position to the second stationary position when the wiring plate-like member is inserted into the housing arranged on the wiring board through the plate-like member insertion portion. When the transition is made, each of the plurality of contacts with which the actuator engages takes a pressing contact state with respect to a corresponding one of the plurality of contact terminal portions in the wiring plate-like member inserted into the housing.

  At that time, in the process in which the actuator is moved from the first stationary position to the second stationary position, the cam portion provided in the actuator defines the engagement portion of the corresponding contact, for example, the wiring plate-like member with respect to the housing. For example, the first pressing portion provided in the actuator presses in the first direction which is the direction orthogonal to the insertion direction, that is, the direction perpendicular to the plate member insertion direction, Pressing in the second direction perpendicular to both the plate member insertion direction and the first direction, and then the second pressing portion provided on the actuator moves the corresponding contact engaging portion in the second direction.

Thereby, each of the plurality of contacts is pressed in the first direction by the cam portion provided in the actuator, so that the contact portion is a contact terminal in the wiring plate member inserted into the housing. The engaging portion is inserted into the housing by being sequentially pressed in the second direction and the third direction by the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion provided in the actuator. The contact portion that is in pressure contact with the contact terminal portion of the wiring board member is reciprocated with respect to the contact terminal portion.

  In this way, each contact portion of the plurality of contacts is slid back and forth with respect to the contact terminal portion of the wiring plate-like member, so that dust or the like is formed on the surface of the contact terminal portion of the wiring plate-like member. If fine foreign matter is attached, the fine foreign matter attached to the surface of the contact terminal portion is removed.

  Then, after the actuator is moved to the second stationary position, each of the plurality of contacts is a contact terminal in the wiring plate member whose contact portion is inserted into the housing by a cam portion provided in the actuator. It is maintained in a state where it is pressed against the part.

  Thereafter, each of the plurality of contacts is maintained in a state in which the contact portion is pressed and brought into contact with the contact terminal portion of the wiring plate member inserted into the housing, so that the actuator is moved from the second stationary position to the first stationary position. When the transition is made, each of the plurality of contacts with which the actuator engages is released from the pressing contact state with respect to the corresponding one of the plurality of contact terminal portions of the wiring plate-like member inserted into the housing. At that time, in the process of moving the actuator from the second stationary position to the first stationary position, the cam portion provided in the actuator releases the pressure in the first direction against the engaging portion of the corresponding contact, Accordingly, each of the plurality of contacts releases the contact portion from the pressing contact with respect to the contact terminal portion in the wiring plate member inserted into the housing. Moreover, the 1st press part provided in the actuator presses the engaging part of the contact corresponding to it to a 2nd direction temporarily. Thereby, each contact portion of the plurality of contacts is temporarily displaced in a direction orthogonal to the first direction, and then restored to the original position by, for example, the elasticity of the contact itself.

  In particular, in the connector device according to the invention described in claim 4 in the scope of claims of the present application of the present invention, the actuator includes a plurality of first pressing portions and a plurality of second pressing portions. The second direction and the third direction in which the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion sequentially press the contact engaging portions, respectively, are arranged along the arrangement direction of the plurality of contacts. Is a direction along the arrangement direction of the plurality of contacts.

  In the connector device according to the present invention, as described above, the process in which the actuator is moved from the first stationary position to the second stationary position when the wiring plate-like member is inserted into the housing through the plate-like member insertion portion. In the above, each of the plurality of contacts arranged in the housing is brought into press contact with the contact terminal portion of the wiring plate member inserted into the housing, and is pressed into contact with the contact terminal portion of the wiring plate member. After the contact portion is slid back and forth with respect to the contact terminal portion, and then the actuator is moved to the second stationary position, each of the plurality of contacts is moved to the housing. The contact terminal portion of the inserted wiring board member is kept pressed. In this way, each contact portion of the plurality of contacts is slid back and forth with respect to the contact terminal portion of the wiring plate-like member, so that dust or the like is formed on the surface of the contact terminal portion of the wiring plate-like member. When fine foreign matter has adhered, the fine foreign matter attached to the surface of the contact terminal portion is removed, and for the contact terminal portion of the wiring board member from which the fine foreign matter attached to the surface has been removed, Each contact part of a some contact is put in the state which press-contacts.

  Further, in the connector device according to the present invention, when a fine foreign matter such as dust adheres to the surface of the contact terminal portion of the wiring plate member inserted into the housing, the fine foreign matter is removed. However, when the wiring plate-like member is inserted into the housing through the plate-like member insertion portion, the cam portion provided in the actuator corresponds to the process in which the actuator is moved from the first stationary position to the second stationary position. The contact engaging portion is pressed in, for example, a first direction that is orthogonal to the plate member insertion direction, and the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion provided on the actuator are The corresponding contact engaging portions are sequentially pressed in a second direction orthogonal to both the plate member insertion direction and the first direction and in a third direction opposite to the second direction. Thus, each of the plurality of contacts makes the contact portion press-contact with the contact terminal portion of the wiring plate member inserted into the housing, and the contact portion pressed against the contact terminal portion is contacted with the contact terminal portion. It is obtained by reciprocating sliding. Therefore, according to the connector device of the present invention, when fine foreign matter such as dust adheres to the surface of the contact terminal portion of the wiring board member inserted into the housing, the fine foreign matter is removed. Thus, the space in the housing is limited and the dimension of the housing in the direction of inserting the plate-like member is not increased.

  Therefore, according to the connector device according to the present invention, the contact portions of the plurality of contacts and the contact terminal portions of the wiring plate-like member are properly connected without increasing the dimension of the housing in the plate-like member insertion direction. It is possible to avoid a situation in which the user is no longer connected to the target connection.
