Plug and
Socket,
A plug-side guide attached to the plug;
A ring member attached to the body part of the plug-side guide so that a gap of an arbitrary size is formed between the inner peripheral part of the ring and the body part of the plug-side guide;
A socket-side guide attached to the socket;
The plug-side guide includes an axial direction restricting portion that restricts an axial movement range of the ring member,
The socket side guide comprises an opening into which the plug and the tip of the plug side guide are inserted when the plug is inserted into the socket.
The opening is formed in a funnel shape around the socket,
The plug-side guide and the socket-side guide include an axial direction positioning portion that aligns the plug and the distal end portion of the plug-side guide with a predetermined position in the axial direction when the plug is inserted into the socket. A featured connector guide mechanism. The connector guide mechanism according to claim 1,
The radial cross section of the body portion of the plug-side guide is formed in a non-circular shape,
When the ring member is rotated in the axial direction, the gap comes into contact with a part of the body portion of the plug-side guide in which a part of the inner peripheral part of the ring is formed in a non-circular shape. It is set to a size that restricts rotation around the axis of the member,

The axial direction positioning part is formed in the opening part of the socket side guide so that the protruding part is formed in the tip part of the plug side guide so as to protrude in the radial direction, and the protruding part enters the inside. It is constituted by the formed guide groove,
The guide groove is formed to extend along the axial direction of the socket, and the opposing surface of the inlet portion is symmetrical so that at least the inlet portion into which the protrusion enters is widened toward the inlet side. A connector guide mechanism characterized in that the connector guide mechanism is inclined. The connector guide mechanism according to claim 4,
A connector guide mechanism, wherein three or more sets of the protrusion and the guide groove are formed. In the connector guide mechanism according to claim 5,
3. A connector guide mechanism, wherein the projection and the guide groove are formed in three sets in a T shape as viewed in the axial direction. The connector guide mechanism according to any one of claims 1 to 6,
Said axial restriction portion includes a contact portion formed on the side closer to the cable of the body portion of the plug-side guide so as to be in contact with the side portions of the rear side of the ring member, the front side of the ring member A connector guide mechanism comprising: a contact portion formed on a side of the body of the plug-side guide that is close to the socket so as to contact the side surface portion. The connector guide mechanism according to any one of claims 1 to 7,
The plug guide is provided with a marking as a mark for identifying the direction of the plug guide. The connector guide mechanism according to any one of claims 1 to 8,
The plug-side guide and the socket-side guide each include a line serving as a mark for identifying a fitting position when the plug is inserted into the socket.
