Description

  The present invention relates to a connector structure.

An LEDLED unit is known in which a wiring board on which an LED (light emitting diode) is mounted is housed in an LED mounting board housing container and a male terminal is provided on the wiring board in order to add a function as a connector (patent) Reference 1 etc.).
As shown in FIG. 6, the LED mounting substrate container (hereinafter referred to as an LED unit) 501 includes an LED element formed by electrically connecting a male terminal 503 to a female terminal (not shown) of the mating connector 505. 507 is turned on. The wiring board 509 has the LED element 507 mounted on the substrate surface. The wiring board 509 is provided with a male terminal 503 on the substrate. The male terminal 503 is inserted into the insertion portion 511 of the mating connector 505 and is electrically connected to the female terminal provided in the insertion portion 511. The male terminal 503 is made of a rod-shaped conductive metal member, and the other end of the linear connection portion 513 inserted into the insertion portion 511 of the mating connector 505 is attached to the wiring board 509. The LED mounting substrate storage container 515 includes a translucent housing 517 and a male terminal position fixing portion 519 provided in the housing 517 so as to be movable in the insertion direction A of the mating connector 505.

  In order to connect the LED unit 501 and the mating connector 505, the connection part 513 of the male terminal 503 is inserted into the insertion hole 521 of the male terminal position fixing part 519, so that the wiring board 509 is attached to the male terminal position fixing part 519. In this state, the male terminal position fixing portion 519 is inserted to the temporary fixing position in the housing 517. Thereafter, the mating connector 505 is inserted from the opening 523 of the housing 517. By inserting the mating connector 505, the male terminal position fixing portion 519 is pressed in the insertion direction A, and moves backward in the housing 517 together with the wiring board 509.

  However, the conventional LED unit 501 described above needs to be newly produced with all components as dedicated components. The LED unit 501 holds the entire wiring board 509 at a contact portion between the male terminal 503 extending from the wiring board 509 and the female terminal of the mating connector 505. Both ends of the wiring board 509 are clamped and fixed by the male terminal position fixing portion 519 and the contact portion 527, but it is assumed that the housing 517 and the mating connector 505 are fitted and locked. Usually, a clearance exists in this type of fitting lock part (engagement part 529, recessed part 531). For this reason, it is considered that the fixing by holding the male terminal position fixing portion 519 and the contact portion 527 is not sufficient and the vibration resistance performance of the wiring board 509 is low.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a connector structure capable of configuring an LED unit without increasing the number of newly manufactured parts and improving vibration resistance. It is in.

The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following configuration.
(1) A lance for locking a female terminal accommodated in a terminal accommodating chamber is released and regulated by insertion of a front holder for a connector, and a female connector housing that can be coupled to a male connector housing, a board holding portion, and the connector A board holding front holder which is inserted into the female connector housing in a manner compatible with the front holder, and is held in the board holding portion and inserted into the female connector housing together with the board holding front holder. An LED board provided with a male terminal for supplying power to the LED mounted and connected to the female terminal, and a light-emitting unit housing space for housing the board holding front holder holding the LED board. A translucent housing coupled to the connector housing. Kuta structure.

According to the connector structure having the above configuration (1), the LED substrate on which the LED is mounted is held by the substrate holding portion of the substrate holding front holder. The board holding front holder holding the LED board is inserted into the female connector housing to restrict the unlocking of the lance that holds the female terminal, and at the same time, the male terminal of the LED board is inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber. Connected to the terminal. By connecting the male terminal to the female terminal in the female connector housing, it is possible to supply power to the LED mounted on the LED board from the female terminal side.
In this connector structure, the board holding front holder, the LED board, and the translucent housing are newly manufactured parts, but the female connector housing and the female terminal can use existing parts. Therefore, compared with the conventional LED unit in which all the component parts of the LED unit are newly manufactured, the female connector housing and the female terminal can be used together with the existing component parts, so that the production is not required.
In other words, the female connector housing can be used in the conventional manner as a normal connector form coupled to the male connector housing for connecting electric wires by using the connector front holder.
In this connector structure, the LED board is held by the board holding portion of the board holding front holder, and the board holding front holder is inserted and fixed to the female connector housing. Thereby, the LED substrate is securely held in the female connector housing, and the vibration resistance performance is enhanced.

(2) The connector structure according to (1) above, wherein an electric wire connected to the female terminal and the terminal accommodating chamber are sealed in a watertight manner by a terminal water-stopping member, and the translucent housing The connector structure is characterized in that the female connector housing and the female connector housing are watertightly sealed by a water fitting member for housing fitting.

  According to the connector structure having the configuration (2), the female terminal is sealed in a watertight manner by the terminal water-stopping member with respect to the female connector housing. Further, the translucent housing and the female connector housing are sealed in a watertight manner by a housing fitting water stop member. The translucent housing is formed in substantially the same outer shape as the male connector housing. Therefore, a waterproof LED unit can be easily obtained.

(3) In the connector structure according to the above (1) or (2), the front holder for holding the board protrudes from an upright wall with which the board end face of the LED board on which the male terminal protrudes contacts. The connector structure is characterized in that the standing wall has an insertion stopper surface abutting against a mating tip end surface of the female connector housing on a surface opposite to the substrate seat surface with which the substrate end surface abuts.

  According to the connector structure configured as described in (3) above, the LED board held by the board holding portion of the board holding front holder is such that the board end surface on the side from which the male terminal protrudes contacts the board seating surface of the standing wall. Thus, it is positioned with respect to the substrate holding front holder, and the male terminal becomes a predetermined position. When the front holder for holding the substrate on which the LED board is positioned is inserted into the female connector housing, the insertion stopper surface of the upright wall abuts on the mating front end surface of the female connector housing, and further insertion is prevented. Installation to the female connector housing is completed at the insertion position. In other words, the LED board and the substrate holding front holder, and the substrate holding front holder and the female connector housing are positioned using the substrate seat surface and the insertion stopper surface on both surfaces of the standing wall. As a result, the LED substrate and the substrate holding front holder can be assembled to the female connector housing with high accuracy with a simple structure.

  According to the connector structure of the present invention, an LED unit can be configured without increasing the number of newly manufactured parts, and vibration resistance can be improved.

  The present invention has been briefly described above. Further, the details of the present invention will be further clarified by reading through a mode for carrying out the invention described below (hereinafter referred to as “embodiment”) with reference to the accompanying drawings. .

Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The connector structure according to one embodiment of the present invention is suitable for use in the LED unit 11.
The LED unit 11 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 includes a female connector housing 13, a substrate holding front holder 15, an LED substrate 17, and a translucent housing 19.

The female connector housing 13 is used for an existing female connector to be connected to a male connector 21 (see FIG. 5) that has been conventionally used. As shown in FIG. 2, the female connector housing 13 has a lance 25 that locks the female terminal 23 accommodated in the terminal accommodating chamber 31, the release of which is restricted by the insertion of the connector front holder 27 (see FIG. 4), and the male connector housing 13. The connector 21 is configured to be connectable to a male connector housing 91 (see FIG. 5).
The lance 25 provided in the terminal accommodating chamber 31 of the female connector housing 13 is formed as an elastic piece that is cantilevered. Then, the free end side of the lance 25 protrudes into the terminal accommodating chamber 31 to lock the female terminal 23 inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber 31, thereby restricting the detachment of the female terminal 23 from the terminal accommodating chamber 31. On the opposite side of the lance 25 to the female terminal 23, a lance retracting space 33 is provided for enabling movement when the lock is released.

  The female terminal 23 has a box-shaped electrical contact portion 35 on the distal end side, and a lance locking portion 37, a conductor crimping portion 39, and a covering crimping portion 41 are continuously provided toward the rear side. In the electrical contact portion 35, an elastic contact piece (not shown) that elastically contacts a later-described male terminal is provided. Each of these parts is formed by pressing a conductive metal plate. The conductor of the electric wire 43 is crimped to the conductor crimping portion 39. The electric wire 43 to which the conductor is crimped is fixed to the female terminal 23 by crimping the outer periphery of the jacket by the covering crimping portion 41.

  A terminal water stop member 45 is externally inserted on the outer periphery of the electric wire 43 connected to the cover crimping portion 41. The terminal water stop member 45 is made of, for example, a rubber material, and a plurality of annular outer peripheral protrusions are arranged in the axial direction on the outer periphery, and a plurality of annular inner peripheral protrusions are also arranged in the axial direction on the inner periphery. The terminal water stop member 45 is extrapolated to the electric wire 43 and inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber 31, thereby closely contacting the outer periphery of the electric wire 43 and the inner periphery of the terminal accommodating chamber 31. That is, the terminal water stop member 45 seals between the electric wire 43 connected to the female terminal 23 and the terminal accommodating chamber 31 in a watertight manner.

  The female connector housing 13 includes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped fitting portion 47 and a hood portion 51 that covers the outer periphery of the fitting portion 47 and has a predetermined annular gap 49 on the front side that is a fitting side with the male connector housing. It is formed. On the upper wall of the hood portion 51, a lock piece portion 53 that is elastically displaceable by being cut is formed. A lock engagement hole 55 is formed in the lock piece portion 53. The male connector housing 91 or the translucent housing 19 is inserted into the annular gap 49.

  In the fitting portion 47, a plurality (three in this embodiment) of male terminal receiving ports 59 are opened on the fitting tip surface 57. The male terminal receiving port 59 receives a male terminal (not shown) of the male connector 21. The male terminal entering from the male terminal receiving port 59 is connected to the female terminal 23 accommodated in the terminal accommodating chamber 31.

A holder insertion port 61 is opened on the fitting front end surface 57 below the male terminal receiving port 59. The holder insertion opening 61 communicates linearly with the lance retracting space 33.
When the female connector housing 13 is connected to the conventional male connector 21, the connector front holder 27 shown in FIG. 4B is inserted into the holder insertion opening 61. A stopper wall 63 is provided on the rear side in the insertion direction of the connector front holder 27. Although not shown, the connector front holder 27 is inserted into the holder insertion port 61, and the stopper wall 63 comes into contact with the fitting front end surface 57 and stops at a predetermined insertion position. At this time, in the connector front holder 27, a plurality of restricting portions 65 provided on the insertion distal end side are arranged in the lance retracting space 33. The restricting portion 65 disposed in the lance retracting space 33 prevents the lance 25 from moving in the unlocking direction. That is, the connector front holder 27 prevents the lance 25 from being unlocked with respect to the female terminal 23.

  The male connector 21 is coupled to the female connector housing 13 to which the connector front holder 27 is attached, as shown in FIG. When the male connector 21 is coupled, the lock protrusion 67 protruding from the upper surface of the male connector housing 91 pushes up the lock piece 53 of the hood 51 and is locked in the lock locking hole 55. As a result, the male terminal accommodated in the male connector 21 is connected to the female terminal 23. The connector front holder 27 is held by a stopper wall 63 sandwiched between a female connector housing 13 and a male connector housing 91 that are locked so as not to be detached. As a result, the displacement of the lance 25 is restricted, and the female terminal 23 is reliably locked.

By the way, this female connector housing 13 can be mounted with a substrate holding front holder 15 in place of the existing connector front holder 27.
The board holding front holder 15 is inserted into the female connector housing 13 in which a board holding portion 69 is formed and is compatible with the connector front holder 27. That is, the connector front holder 27 or the board holding front holder 15 can be selectively mounted on the female connector housing 13.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the substrate holding front holder 15 is formed with a plurality of restricting portions 65 on the distal end side in the insertion direction. The restricting portion 65 is disposed in the lance retreat space 33. The restricting portion 65 disposed in the lance retracting space 33 prevents the lance 25 from moving in the unlocking direction. That is, the substrate holding front holder 15 prevents the lance 25 from being unlocked with respect to the female terminal 23. The substrate holding front holder 15 is elastically brought into contact with the lance 25, thereby suppressing backlash.

  The substrate holding portion 69 formed on the substrate holding front holder 15 has a pair of elastic clamping plates 71. In the substrate holding front holder 15, an upright wall 75 is erected at the center in the longitudinal direction of a base portion 73 formed in a rectangular plate shape. A pair of holder side wall portions 77 sandwiching the standing wall 75 are formed on one end side of the base portion 73 in the longitudinal direction. The pair of elastic clamping plates 71 protrudes in parallel with the base portion 73 from the respective holder side wall portions 77. That is, the pair of elastic clamping plates 71 can elastically hold the LED substrate 17 between the base portion 73. A holding projection 79 is suspended from the protruding tip side of the elastic clamping plate 71. The elastic clamping plate 71 holds the LED substrate 17 between the base portion 73 by pressing the holding projection 79 against the substrate surface by an elastic restoring force.

  A substrate end surface 83 on the side from which the male terminal 81 (see FIG. 1) of the LED substrate 17 protrudes comes into contact with the standing wall 75 of the substrate holding front holder 15. That is, in the standing wall 75, the surface on which the substrate end surface 83 abuts becomes the substrate seat surface 85. In the LED substrate 17 in which the substrate end surface 83 is in contact with the substrate seat surface 85, the male terminal 81 is placed on the upper surface of the standing wall 75 (see FIG. 2). The surface of the standing wall 75 opposite to the board seating surface 85 with which the board end face 83 abuts is an insertion stopper face 87 (see FIG. 2) that abuts against the fitting front end face 57 of the female connector housing 13. The substrate holding front holder 15 is locked to the female connector housing 13 by a locking structure (not shown) including an elastic locking claw and a locking portion (for example, a locking concave portion or a locking convex portion).

An LED 89 is mounted on the LED substrate 17. The LED board 17 is held by the board holding portion 69 of the board holding front holder 15 and inserted into the female connector housing 13 together with the board holding front holder 15. A plurality (three in this embodiment) of male terminals 81 project from the LED substrate 17, and the male terminals 81 are electrically connected to the LEDs 89 by a printed circuit.
When the LED board 17 mounted on the board holding front holder 15 is inserted into the female connector housing 13, the male terminal 81 is inserted into the male terminal receiving port 59 and connected to the female terminal 23 to supply power to the LED 89. It becomes. The male terminal 81 is elastically brought into contact with the elastic contact piece of the female terminal 23, thereby suppressing rattling.

  The translucent housing 19 can be coupled to the annular gap 49 formed inside the hood portion 51 of the female connector housing 13 instead of the male connector housing 91 (see FIG. 5). The translucent housing 19 is formed in substantially the same outer shape as the male connector housing 91 by a transparent or translucent material. A light emitting unit accommodating space 93 (see FIG. 2) is formed inside the translucent housing 19. The translucent housing 19 is coupled to the female connector housing 13 so that a part of the substrate holding front holder 15 protruding from the fitting front end surface 57 and the LED substrate 17 are accommodated in the light emitting portion accommodating space 93. A lock protrusion 67 is provided on the upper surface of the translucent housing 19, and the lock protrusion 67 is locked in a lock locking hole 55 formed in the lock piece 53 of the hood 51.

  An annular housing fitting water stop member 95 is mounted on the base end side (the back side of the annular gap 49) of the fitting section 47 surrounded by the annular gap 49 around the hood 51 (see FIG. 2). The housing fitting water stop member 95 is made of, for example, a rubber material, and a plurality of annular outer peripheral protrusions are disposed in the axial direction on the outer peripheral surface, and a plurality of annular inner peripheral protrusions are also disposed in the axial direction on the inner peripheral surface. The terminal water stop member 45 is externally inserted into the fitting portion 47. Then, by inserting the translucent housing 19, the translucent housing 19 is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 47 and the inner peripheral surface of the translucent housing 19. That is, the water fitting member 95 for housing fitting seals between the fitting portion 47 and the translucent housing 19 in a watertight manner.

A procedure for assembling the LED unit 11 having the connector structure will be described.
When assembling the LED unit 11 having the connector structure according to the present embodiment, an LED substrate 17, a substrate holding front holder 15, and a translucent housing 19 are used with respect to an existing female connector housing 13. . That is, the connector front holder 27 and the male connector 21 are not used.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the LED unit 11, first, the LED substrate 17 is mounted on the substrate holding front holder 15. The LED board 17 mounted on the board holding front holder 15 is held by the board holding unit 69, and the male terminal 81 protrudes toward the female connector housing 13.
In this state, the board holding front holder 15 is attached to the female connector housing 13. The substrate holding front holder 15 inserts the male terminal 81 into the male terminal receiving port 59 while inserting the restricting portion 65 into the holder insertion port 61. When the substrate holding front holder 15 is inserted to a predetermined position, the insertion stopper surface 87 of the standing wall 75 comes into contact with the fitting front end surface 57 to complete the insertion into the predetermined position.

The board holding front holder 15 inserted in a predetermined position connects the male terminal 81 of the mounted LED board 17 to the female terminal 23. Further, the restricting portion 65 is disposed in the lance retreat space 33 of each lance 25. In this state, the substrate holding front holder 15 is restricted from being detached from the female connector housing 13 by a locking structure (not shown).
Finally, the distal end side of the translucent housing 19 is inserted into the annular gap 49 between the hood portion 51 and the fitting portion 47. The translucent housing 19 inserted in the annular gap 49 is watertightly sealed on the inner peripheral surface by a housing fitting water stop member 95. In this state, in the translucent housing 19, the lock protrusion 67 is locked in the lock locking hole 55 of the hood portion 51, and the separation from the female connector housing 13 is restricted. That is, the translucent housing 19 is sealed in a watertight manner, and the mounting to the female connector housing 13 is completed.

Next, the operation of the connector structure having the above configuration will be described.
According to the connector structure according to the present embodiment, the LED substrate 17 on which the LEDs 89 are mounted is held by the substrate holding portion 69 of the substrate holding front holder 15. The board holding front holder 15 holding the LED board 17 is inserted into the female connector housing 13.
The board holding front holder 15 inserted into the female connector housing 13 has the male terminal 81 inserted into the male terminal receiving port 59 while the restricting portion 65 is inserted into the holder insertion port 61.
The restricting portion 65 is disposed in the lance retracting space 33 and restricts the unlocking of the lance 25 that locks the female terminal 23. At the same time, the male terminal 81 is inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber 31 and is in contact with and connected to the female terminal 23.
By connecting the male terminal 81 to the female terminal 23 in the female connector housing 13, it is possible to supply power to the LED 89 mounted on the LED substrate 17 from the female terminal 23 side.

  A translucent housing 19 is attached to the female connector housing 13. The translucent housing 19 attached to the female connector housing 13 accommodates and covers a part of the substrate holding front holder 15 protruding from the female connector housing 13 and the LED substrate 17 in the light emitting portion accommodating space 93.

  The male terminal 81 connected to the female terminal 23 causes the LED 89 to emit light by being fed from the female terminal 23. The light emitted from the LED 89 passes through the wall of the translucent housing 19 and is emitted to the outside of the translucent housing 19.

  In the connector structure of this embodiment, the board holding front holder 15, the LED board 17, and the translucent housing 19 are newly manufactured parts, but the female connector housing 13 and the female terminal 23 are existing parts. Can be used. Therefore, in comparison with the conventional LED unit 501 (see FIG. 6) in which all the components of the LED unit are newly manufactured, the LED unit 11 of the present embodiment has the existing configuration of the female connector housing 13 and the female terminal 23. It can also be used as a component, making it unnecessary to make it.

That is, by using the connector front holder 27, the female connector housing 13 can be used in a conventional manner as a normal connector form coupled to the male connector housing 91 for connecting wires.
In the connector structure of this embodiment, the LED board 17 is held by the board holding portion 69 of the board holding front holder 15, and the board holding front holder 15 is inserted and fixed in the female connector housing 29. As a result, the LED substrate 17 is securely held by the female connector housing 13, and the vibration resistance performance is enhanced.

  Furthermore, according to the connector structure of the present embodiment, the female terminal 23 is watertightly sealed by the terminal water stop member 45 with respect to the female connector housing 13. Further, the translucent housing 19 and the female connector housing 13 are sealed in a watertight manner by a housing fitting water stop member 95. The translucent housing 19 is formed in substantially the same outer shape as the male connector housing 91. Therefore, the waterproof LED unit 11 can be easily obtained.

  Furthermore, according to the connector structure of the present embodiment, the LED board 17 held by the board holding portion 69 of the board holding front holder 15 has a board end surface 83 on the side from which the male terminal 81 protrudes. By abutting on the surface 85, the substrate terminal is positioned with respect to the substrate holding front holder 15, and the male terminal 81 becomes a predetermined position. When the front holder 15 for holding the substrate on which the LED board 17 is positioned is inserted into the female connector housing 13, the insertion stopper surface 87 of the standing wall 75 abuts on the fitting front end surface 57 of the female connector housing 13 and beyond. Insertion is prevented, and attachment to the female connector housing 13 is completed at a predetermined insertion position. That is, the LED board 17 and the board holding front holder 15, and the board holding front holder 15 and the female connector housing 13 are positioned using the board seat surface 85 and the insertion stopper surface 84 on both surfaces of the standing wall 75. . As a result, the LED board 17 and the board holding front holder 15 can be assembled to the female connector housing 13 with high accuracy with a simple structure.
