Description

本発明は、コネクタ組立体に、より詳しくは、コネクタ位置保証（ＣＰＡ）部材を有するコネクタ組立体に、関する。   The present invention relates to a connector assembly, and more particularly to a connector assembly having a connector position assurance (CPA) member.

近年、さまざまな種類の電気部品が自動車で利用されている。このため、複数の電気コネクタを自動車に搭載している。自動車産業では、主要な問題の１つは、自動車の燃料消費を低減することである。そのため、自動車部品で使用する電気コネクタのサイズ及び重量を低減する努力がなされている。   In recent years, various types of electrical components have been used in automobiles. For this reason, a plurality of electrical connectors are mounted on the automobile. In the automotive industry, one of the major problems is reducing automobile fuel consumption. For this reason, efforts are being made to reduce the size and weight of electrical connectors used in automotive parts.

特に、車両エアバッグシステムで利用される電気コネクタは、シートベルトのような限定された空間領域に設置されている。このため、電気コネクタのサイズを低減することに強い要請がある。しかしながら、電気コネクタのサイズを低減すると、電気コネクタを正確に連結したか判断することが難しくなってくる。以前は、電気コネクタの連結処理中に発生する触知や音は、電気コネクタを正確に連結したことを作業者に知らせるための表示手段として使用することができた。しかしながら、電気コネクタのサイズをさらに低減すると、触知及び音は、連結処理中に十分には発生せず、したがって、正確な連結が発生しているか判断する信頼性のある根拠にならない。これは、正確に連結されていない電気コネクタを作業者が容易に把持できないので、問題を引き起こす。   In particular, an electrical connector used in a vehicle airbag system is installed in a limited space area such as a seat belt. For this reason, there is a strong demand for reducing the size of the electrical connector. However, when the size of the electrical connector is reduced, it becomes difficult to determine whether the electrical connector is correctly connected. Previously, tactile sounds and sounds generated during the electrical connector connection process could be used as a display means to inform the operator that the electrical connector was correctly connected. However, when the size of the electrical connector is further reduced, tactile and sound are not fully generated during the connection process, and thus are not a reliable basis for determining whether an accurate connection has occurred. This causes problems because the operator cannot easily grip electrical connectors that are not correctly connected.

上記問題に鑑みて、本発明は、コネクタ位置保証部材を有するコネクタ組立体を提供することを目的とする。   In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a connector assembly having a connector position assurance member.

ＣＰＡ部材２００は、可撓性ＣＰＡ脚２０１及びノブ２０２を有する。図６に示すように、ＣＰＡ部材２００は、挿入チャネル２５０に挿入され、阻止解除部材２１０は、ＣＰＡ脚２０１とノブ２０２との間に配設され、これらＣＰＡ脚及びノブは、挿入チャネル２５０内に位置する。阻止解除部材２１０は、第１方向に延在する。ＣＰＡ部材２００は、レール２６０に沿って軸方向に移動可能である。弾性部材２３０は、ＣＰＡ部材２００と第２コネクタ２０との間に介装されており、これにより、ＣＰＡ部材２００は、第１方向に付勢されている。弾性部材２３０は、好ましくは、所定の弾性を有するバネで形成されている。ＣＰＡ脚２０１は、一端部で曲げられており、それにより、ＣＰＡ脚の第１方向端部分は、上方に屈曲し得る。しかしながら、本発明は、これに限定されない。ＣＰＡ脚２０１の第１方向端部分は、下方に屈曲さ得る。可撓性腕２２０は、第１方向に延在しており、可撓性腕の一端部に形成された下方に突出するラッチ２２１を有し、挿入チャネル２５０と挿入孔２４０との間に設置されている。   The CPA member 200 has a flexible CPA leg 201 and a knob 202. As shown in FIG. 6, the CPA member 200 is inserted into the insertion channel 250, and the deblocking member 210 is disposed between the CPA leg 201 and the knob 202, and the CPA leg and knob are located in the insertion channel 250. Located in. The blocking release member 210 extends in the first direction. The CPA member 200 is movable in the axial direction along the rail 260. The elastic member 230 is interposed between the CPA member 200 and the second connector 20, whereby the CPA member 200 is urged in the first direction. The elastic member 230 is preferably formed of a spring having a predetermined elasticity. The CPA leg 201 is bent at one end, whereby the first direction end portion of the CPA leg can be bent upward. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The first direction end portion of the CPA leg 201 may be bent downward. The flexible arm 220 extends in the first direction, has a downwardly protruding latch 221 formed at one end of the flexible arm, and is installed between the insertion channel 250 and the insertion hole 240. Has been.

可撓性腕２２０を図４を参照しながら説明する。可撓性腕２２０は、右腕２２３及び左腕２２２を有し、これら右腕及び左腕は、両横方向側に配設されており、これら右腕及び左腕間に所定の空間を有して互いに間隔をあけている。右腕２２３及び左腕２２２の第１方向端部分は、ラッチ２２１によって相互接続されている。ＣＰＡ部材２００を挿入チャネル２５０に挿入すると、ＣＰＡ脚２０１は、右腕２２３及び左腕２２２間に延在する空間に位置する。   The flexible arm 220 will be described with reference to FIG. The flexible arm 220 includes a right arm 223 and a left arm 222. The right arm and the left arm are disposed on both lateral sides, and a predetermined space is provided between the right arm and the left arm so as to be spaced from each other. ing. The first direction end portions of the right arm 223 and the left arm 222 are interconnected by a latch 221. When the CPA member 200 is inserted into the insertion channel 250, the CPA leg 201 is positioned in the space extending between the right arm 223 and the left arm 222.

ここで、第１コネクタ１０及び第２コネクタ２０の連結処理を図７から図１１を参照しながら説明する。   Here, the connection process of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 will be described with reference to FIGS.

図７は、第１コネクタ１０及び第２コネクタ２０を連結する初期状態を示す。第１コネクタ１０の本体１００を第２コネクタ２０の挿入孔２４０に挿入すると、ＣＰＡ脚２０１は、阻止部材１２０によって阻止される。この状態で、ＣＰＡ脚２０１は、弾性部材２３０によって第１方向に付勢されている。このとき、可撓性腕２２０のラッチ２２１の端部分は、ＣＰＡ脚２０１と同じ軸方向位置に位置する。   FIG. 7 shows an initial state of connecting the first connector 10 and the second connector 20. When the main body 100 of the first connector 10 is inserted into the insertion hole 240 of the second connector 20, the CPA leg 201 is blocked by the blocking member 120. In this state, the CPA leg 201 is urged in the first direction by the elastic member 230. At this time, the end portion of the latch 221 of the flexible arm 220 is located at the same axial position as the CPA leg 201.

図８を参照すると、ＣＰＡ脚２０１が阻止部材１２０によって阻止されている状態にある第１コネクタ１０に向けて第２コネクタ２０を押すと、阻止部材１２０は、ＣＰＡ脚２０１の一端部を押す。このため、ＣＰＡ部材２００は、第１方向とは反対の第２方向に移動され、これにより、ＣＰＡ脚２０１の一端部は、阻止解除部材２１０に接近する。   Referring to FIG. 8, when the second connector 20 is pushed toward the first connector 10 in a state where the CPA leg 201 is blocked by the blocking member 120, the blocking member 120 presses one end of the CPA leg 201. For this reason, the CPA member 200 is moved in the second direction opposite to the first direction, whereby one end portion of the CPA leg 201 approaches the blocking release member 210.

図９を参照すると、ＣＰＡ脚２０１及び阻止部材１２０が互いに接触している阻止状態にある第１コネクタ１０に向けて第２コネクタ２０をさらに押すと、可撓性腕２２０のラッチ２２１は、係合突起１１０に乗り上がる。この状態で、第２コネクタ２０及び第１コネクタ１０を連結するための力を除去すると、ＣＰＡ部材２００は、弾性部材２３０によって第１方向に移動される。このため、第１コネクタ１０及び第２コネクタ２０は、互いに連結されない。上述のように、本実施形態によれば、第１コネクタ１０と第２コネクタ２０とが安定しないで連結されることを防止できる。これにより、第１コネクタ１０と第２コネクタ２０とを安定して接続することを保証できるようになる。   Referring to FIG. 9, when the second connector 20 is further pushed toward the first connector 10 in the blocked state where the CPA leg 201 and the blocking member 120 are in contact with each other, the latch 221 of the flexible arm 220 is engaged. It rides on the joint 110. When the force for connecting the second connector 20 and the first connector 10 is removed in this state, the CPA member 200 is moved in the first direction by the elastic member 230. For this reason, the 1st connector 10 and the 2nd connector 20 are not connected mutually. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 can be prevented from being connected without being stabilized. Thereby, it becomes possible to ensure that the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are stably connected.

第２コネクタ２０を阻止状態にある第１コネクタ１０をさらに押すと、図１０に示すように、阻止解除部材２１０は、ＣＰＡ脚２０１と阻止部材１２０との間の接触を解除する。より具体的には、ＣＰＡ部材２００を阻止状態において第２方向で所定距離移動させると、阻止解除部材２１０は、ＣＰＡ脚２０１の一端部を押す。その結果、ＣＰＡ脚２０１の一端部は、変形され、それにより、下方へ移動し、これにより、阻止部材１２０とＣＰＡ脚２０１との間の接触を解除する。接触を解除すると、可撓性腕２２０のラッチ２２１は、第１方向で移動され、係合突起１１０を通り過ぎる。   When the first connector 10 that is in the blocking state of the second connector 20 is further pressed, the blocking release member 210 releases the contact between the CPA leg 201 and the blocking member 120 as shown in FIG. More specifically, when the CPA member 200 is moved a predetermined distance in the second direction in the blocking state, the blocking releasing member 210 presses one end of the CPA leg 201. As a result, one end of the CPA leg 201 is deformed and thereby moves downward, thereby releasing the contact between the blocking member 120 and the CPA leg 201. When the contact is released, the latch 221 of the flexible arm 220 is moved in the first direction and passes through the engagement protrusion 110.

最後に、第１コネクタ１０と第２コネクタ２０との完全結合状態を図１１を参照しながら説明する。阻止解除部材２１０によって阻止部材１２０とＣＰＡ脚２０１との間の接触を解除すると、ＣＰＡ部材２００は、直ちに、弾性部材２３０の付勢力によって第１方向で移動される。このとき、ＣＰＡ部材２００が弾性部材２３０によって第１方向で瞬間的に移動されるので、ＣＰＡ部材２００の一部は、阻止部材１２０と接触する。したがって、所定デシベル（ｄＢ）の音を発生させる。これにより、作業者は、第１コネクタ１０と第２コネクタ２０とを互いに連結したことをすぐに知ることができる。係合突起１１０と阻止部材１２０との間に存在する空間を通ってＣＰＡ脚２０１を第１方向で通過させると、ラッチ２２１は、係合突起１１０と係合し、それにより、第１コネクタ１０と第２コネクタ２０との間の連結（ロック）状態を維持する。作業者が連結（ロック）状態において第１コネクタ１０と第２コネクタ２０とを互いから離間するように移動させようとしても、ＣＰＡ脚２０１が係合突起１１０と阻止部材１２０との間に存在する空間を占め、これにより、ラッチ２２１が係合突起１１０から係合解除されることを防止しているので、第１コネクタ１０及び第２コネクタ２０は、互いから離間しない。   Finally, a complete coupling state of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 will be described with reference to FIG. When the contact between the blocking member 120 and the CPA leg 201 is released by the blocking release member 210, the CPA member 200 is immediately moved in the first direction by the urging force of the elastic member 230. At this time, since the CPA member 200 is instantaneously moved in the first direction by the elastic member 230, a part of the CPA member 200 comes into contact with the blocking member 120. Therefore, a sound of a predetermined decibel (dB) is generated. Thereby, the operator can know immediately that the 1st connector 10 and the 2nd connector 20 were connected mutually. When the CPA leg 201 is passed in the first direction through the space existing between the engaging protrusion 110 and the blocking member 120, the latch 221 is engaged with the engaging protrusion 110, thereby the first connector 10. And the second connector 20 are maintained in a connected (locked) state. Even if the operator tries to move the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 away from each other in the connected (locked) state, the CPA leg 201 exists between the engaging protrusion 110 and the blocking member 120. The first connector 10 and the second connector 20 do not separate from each other because they occupy space and thereby prevent the latch 221 from being disengaged from the engagement protrusion 110.

第１コネクタ１０と第２コネクタ２０との連結を解除するため、ＣＰＡ部材２００のノブ２０２は、第２方向で押され、ＣＰＡ脚２０１を係合突起１１０と阻止部材１２０との間に存在する空間から取り除く。その後、第１コネクタ１０及び第２コネクタ２０は、互いから離間され得る。   In order to release the connection between the first connector 10 and the second connector 20, the knob 202 of the CPA member 200 is pushed in the second direction, and the CPA leg 201 exists between the engaging protrusion 110 and the blocking member 120. Remove from space. Thereafter, the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 may be spaced apart from each other.
