JP 2011-165428 A

By the way, according to said waterproof connector, the area | region to the fitting direction back of the position where a terminal is bolted to an electric wire side housing is fitted in an apparatus side connector, and the part to which the terminal was fixed is waterproof. Since it becomes the structure by which an electric wire side housing is enlarged in a fitting direction, the fitting stroke of an electric wire side housing and an apparatus side connector will become long.
Moreover, in the electric wire side housing, since it is necessary to accommodate a volt | bolt in the direction orthogonal to a fitting direction, an electric wire side housing will enlarge in the direction orthogonal to a fitting direction.

  For this reason, it has been studied to fix the terminal to the housing by molding the terminal and the terminal portion of the electric wire connected to the terminal with a synthetic resin to form the housing. Here, a method of sealing between the electric wire and the housing by applying a water-stopping material to the outer peripheral surface of the electric wire and then molding with a synthetic resin can be considered. However, when the electric wire becomes long, it becomes difficult to uniformly apply the water-stopping material to the outer peripheral surface of the electric wire.

  In this specification, the technique which aims at size reduction of a housing is disclosed, water-stopping between a housing and an electric wire.

  The technology disclosed in this specification is a waterproof connector attached to a device, a terminal connected to a terminal of an electric wire, a housing in which a portion where the terminal and the electric wire are connected is embedded, and the housing A metal shield shell provided in a cylindrical shape so as to cover, and in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the electric wire housed in the shield shell and drawn backward from the housing, and on the inner peripheral surface of the shield shell It was set as the structure provided with the water stop member which closely_contact | adheres.

According to such a configuration, the terminal can be fixed to the housing by embedding the portion where the terminal and the electric wire are connected with the synthetic resin to form the housing.
That is, there is no need to fasten the fastening member in a direction crossing the fitting direction and fix the terminal to the housing. For example, when fastening the fastening member in the direction crossing the fitting direction and fixing the terminal to the housing As compared with the above, the housing can be reduced in size in the axial direction of the shield shell and in the direction crossing the axial direction, and the number of parts can be reduced.

  Moreover, according to such a structure, since the water stop member adheres to the shield shell and the electric wire, the water between the shield shell and the electric wire is stopped. For example, the water stop member is accommodated in the housing. Compared to the case where water is prevented from entering between the housing and the electric wire, it is possible to prevent water from entering between the housing and the electric wire while suppressing an increase in size of the housing.

The waterproof connector disclosed by this specification is good also as the following structures.
The shield shell is provided with a sealing member for stopping water between the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole provided in the device and the shield shell, and the housing is fastened to be fastened provided in the shield shell. It is good also as a structure provided with the attaching part clamped by the fastening member fastened to the axial direction of the said shield shell with respect to a part and the said to-be-fastened part.

  According to such a configuration, in the water stop region in the shield shell that is stopped by the seal member and the water stop member, the mounting portion of the housing is formed by the fastening member and the fastening portion that are fastened in the axial direction of the shield shell. Since it is clamped and fixed, for example, the housing and the shield shell are increased in size in a direction intersecting with the axial direction of the shield shell as compared with the case where the fastening member is fastened in the direction intersecting with the axial direction of the shield shell. Can be suppressed.

The shield shell is provided with a synthetic resin locking member that prevents the water-stopping member from coming off from behind, and the locking member is disposed between the electric wire and the shield shell. It is good also as the structure currently made.
According to such a configuration, when the electric wire drawn rearward from the housing is bent in a direction intersecting with the drawing direction, the locking member prevents the electric wire from coming into contact with the rear end opening edge of the shield shell and being damaged. Can be prevented.

  According to the technology disclosed in this specification, the housing can be reduced in size while water is stopped between the housing and the electric wire.

  That is, according to the present embodiment, the housing 40 and the shield shell 80 can be firmly fixed to each other without providing a hole penetrating the wall portion of the shell body 81 in the shell body 81.

The present embodiment is configured as described above. Next, the assembly procedure of the waterproof connector 10 will be described, and the operation and effect of the waterproof connector 10 will be described.
In assembling the waterproof connector 10, first, the wire W is passed through the rubber plug retainer 65, the individual rubber plug 60, and the shield shell 80, and the wire connection portion 23 of the terminal 20 is crimped to the core wire W <b> 1 exposed at the end of the wire W. . Thereby, the terminal 20 is electrically connected to the terminal of the electric wire W.
Next, the housing 40 in which the pair of terminals 20 connected to the terminal of the electric wire W is embedded in the embedded portion 41 is formed by insert molding, and the pair of terminals 20 is fixed to the housing 40.

  When the housing 40 is formed, the shield shell 80 passed through is pulled back, and the embedded portion 41 of the housing 40 is fitted into the shell main body 81. When the embedded portion 41 is disposed at a regular position in the shell main body 81, the attachment portion 43 of the housing 40 is accommodated in the attachment portion accommodating recess 90 of the shell main body 81.

  When the mounting portion 43 is received in the mounting portion receiving recess 90, the mounting bolt B is inserted into the metal collar 44 of the mounting portion 43 and tightened into the screw hole 91 of the mounting portion receiving recess 90. The shell 80 is fixed to each other.

  Next, the individual rubber plug 60 and the rubber plug retainer 65 that have been passed through are pulled back. First, the individual rubber plug 60 is inserted into the rubber plug housing portion 88 in the shell body 81 of the shield shell 80 from the rear. Then, the individual rubber plug 60 comes to a front stop by coming into contact with the rear end surface 41B of the embedded portion 41 accommodated in the shell body 81 from the rear, and the individual rubber plug 60 is attached to the front half of the rubber plug accommodating portion 88. The

  Next, when the individual rubber plug 60 is attached to the rubber plug housing portion 88, the rubber plug presser 65 is inserted into the rubber plug housing portion 88 from the rear. Then, when the front end surface of the rubber plug retainer 65 comes into contact with the rear end surface of the individual rubber plug 60, the pair of locking projections 66 of the rubber plug retainer 65 are fitted into the locking holes 89 of the rubber plug housing portion 88. The rubber plug retainer 65 is prevented from coming off in the rubber stopper housing portion 88, so that the individual rubber plug 60 is also prevented from coming back backward. Thereby, the shell main body 81 and the electric wire W are maintained in a sealed state, and the waterproof connector 10 is completed.

  That is, according to the present embodiment, the portion where the terminal 20 and the electric wire W are connected is embedded by the embedded portion 41 to form the housing 40, thereby fixing the pair of terminals 20 to the housing 40. Since it is not necessary to fix the terminal 20 to the housing 40 with bolts, for example, the housing 40 is moved in the vertical direction by an amount corresponding to the region where the bolts are fastened, compared to the case where the terminals are fixed to the housing by fastening the bolts in the vertical direction. The number of parts of the waterproof connector 10 can be reduced.

  The waterproof connector 10 completed as described above is assembled to the case C by fitting the fitting portion 83 of the shield shell 80 into the mounting hole C1 provided in the case C of the device. A ring 84 seals between the case C and the shield shell 80. Then, the waterproof connector 10 is fixed to the case C by inserting the fixing bolts into the through holes 82A of the fixing pieces 82 of the shield shell 80 and tightening them into the case C, respectively.

  That is, according to this embodiment, when the waterproof connector 10 is fixed to the case C, the waterproof ring 10 is provided at the seal ring 84 of the fitting portion 83 provided at the front end portion of the shell main body 81 and at the rear end portion of the shell main body 81. A water stop region can be formed in the shell main body 81 of the shield shell 80 by the individual rubber plugs 60 attached to the rubber plug housing portion 88.

  Therefore, for example, when the terminal and the housing are bolted, the area where the bolt is fixed also needs to be stopped, so that the housing protrudes far ahead of the position of the seal ring provided on the shell body. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, there is no need to fix the pair of terminals 20 to the housing 40 with bolts. Thus, the fitting stroke with the mating connector can be shortened.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the rubber plug accommodating portion 88 that accommodates the individual rubber plug 60 is provided at the rear end portion of the shell main body 81, thereby stopping water between the electric wire W and the shield shell 80, Since water can be prevented from entering the housing, for example, the housing 40 can be further downsized as compared with the case where the rubber plug housing portion for housing the individual rubber plug is provided in the housing.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the individual rubber plug 60 is attached to the rubber stopper accommodating portion 88 provided at the rear end portion of the shell main body 81 and the rubber stopper holder 65 for preventing the individual rubber stopper 60 from being detached is attached. Since the rubber plug retainer 65 is disposed between the rear end opening edge 88A of the rubber plug housing portion 88 and the electric wire W, when the electric wire W drawn backward from the shield shell 80 is bent, the electric wire W can be prevented from coming into contact with the rear end opening edge 88A of the rubber plug housing portion 88.

  As a result, for example, by providing a rubber plug housing part for housing individual rubber plugs or rubber plug pressers in the housing, the rubber plug presser is not disposed between the rear end opening edge of the shield shell and the electric wire. The rubber plug retainer 65 can be reduced in size compared to the case where the wire is extended in the front-rear direction to the space between the rear end opening edge of the shield shell and the electric wire, and the rear end opening edge 88A of the shield shell 80 can be reduced. Can be prevented from being damaged by touching.

By the way, as a means for fixing the housing and the shield shell, a through hole that penetrates the wall portion of the shell body is provided, and a locking piece that can be fitted into the through hole is provided in the housing, or a front end portion of the shell body. A method of providing a bolt fastening portion that can be fastened in the vertical direction is also conceivable.
However, in either case, the shield shell needs to be enlarged in the front-rear direction because it is necessary to provide a locking hole and a bolt fastening portion at a position that becomes a water-stop region in front of the seal ring attached to the shell body. End up.

  However, according to the present embodiment, the mounting portion receiving recess 90 is provided inside the fitting portion 83 to which the seal ring 84 is mounted, and the mounting bolt B is fastened in the front-rear direction in the mounting portion receiving recess 90 for mounting. Since the portion 43 is fixed to the shell body 81, for example, the shield shell 80 is provided in comparison with the case where a through hole is provided in the wall portion of the shell body or the case where the bolt is fastened in the vertical direction at the front end portion of the shell body. The size can be reduced in the front-rear direction.
