  In the above, if the second connector housing is attempted to be tampered with by taking an incorrect posture inclined from the fitting axis with respect to the connector housing space of the first connector housing, the second connector housing is By abutting the male terminal protection member, it is possible to prevent the tab portion of the male terminal from being damaged or buckled. However, when an excessive collision force is applied to the male terminal protection member from the second connector housing in an incorrect posture, the male terminal protection member falls carelessly, and the second connector housing is attached to the tab portion of the male terminal. There is a risk of interference.

  The present invention has been completed based on the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a highly reliable connector which prevents a prying fit.

A connector according to the present invention supports a body portion of a male terminal fitting, and has a housing for projecting a tab of the male terminal fitting forwardly.
It has the hood which encloses the tab and inserts the mating housing inside, and the protective wall which the tab penetrates in the state of positioning and faces the mating housing, and the protective wall is located on the tip side of the tab And a frame that is movable relative to the housing from an initial position to a mating position located proximal to the tab.

  With the mating housing inserted in the hood and facing the protective wall, when both housings are brought close to each other, the protective wall is in the fitting position located on the proximal end of the tab from the initial position where the distal end of the tab is located. The frame can move relative to the housing. When the frame is in the relative initial position, the distance from the end face of the housing to the tip of the hood (the depth of the entire hood portion) by the distance the frame moves relative to the housing than in the engaged position It can be secured for a long time. Therefore, even if the mating housing in the incorrect posture is inserted into the hood, it can be prevented from coming into contact with the protective wall, and the reliability for preventing the prying fit can be enhanced.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown below.
It is preferable to be provided with a lever which is displaceably provided in either one of the housing and the mating housing, and is cam-engaged with the other to draw or pull the two housings away from each other. According to this, based on the displacement operation of the lever, both housings can be smoothly moved in and out, and the relative position of the frame to the housing can be displaced to the initial position and the fitting position.

  The lever may be provided on the mating housing side. Since the housing and the frame can be moved relative to each other to form an overlapping portion, it is difficult to provide an installation space for the lever in the housing. In that respect, the mating housing can easily provide the installation space for the lever, and can increase the freedom of installation of the lever.

  The housing may have a cam shaft cam-engaged with a cam groove of the lever at a forwardly projecting position, and the hood may have a relief space for releasing the cam shaft. According to this, for example, when assembling the frame to the housing, it is possible to prevent the camshaft from being released into the escape space and interfering with the frame.

  The housing may be configured by stacking a plurality of divided housings. Thus, when the housing is composed of a plurality of divided housings, the housing and the hood have to be separated, and when trying to protect the tab of the male terminal fitting, the related art has further described in the background art. A moving plate corresponding to the male terminal protection member had to be provided separately from the hood. In that respect, in the case of this configuration, since the hood and the protective wall can be integrally provided on the frame, the number of parts can be reduced compared to the conventional case in which the hood and the moving plate are separate. The troublesomeness of parts management can be eliminated.

The above is the configuration of the connector of the first embodiment, and subsequently, the operation and effect of the first embodiment will be described.
When assembling the male connector C1, first, the divided housings 11 are held in a stacked state while holding the respective male terminal fittings 100, whereby the housing 10 is configured. Subsequently, the housing 10 is inserted into the housing space 43 of the hood 41 of the frame 40 from the rear. As shown in FIG. 7, each forward movement restricting portion 19 is disposed to be able to abut on each front side stopper 49, and as shown in FIG. 6, each reverse movement restricting portion 21 can be resiliently engaged with each rear side stopper 51. As a result, the frame 40 is held in the initial position in a state in which the movement relative to the housing 10 is restricted. In the initial position, the front surface of the housing 10 is spaced rearwardly of the protective wall 42. In the initial position, each cam shaft 17 passes through the relief space 46 of each bulging portion 45, and the tip end portion of the extending portion 16 enters the entry groove 47 on the insertion space 44 side of the hood 41 and is disposed. Be done. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 5-7, each cam shaft 17 is protruded and arrange | positioned from the upper and lower surface of the insertion space part 44 side of the food | hood 41 outside.

  Furthermore, in the initial position, as shown in FIG. 2, the tip end side of the tab 102 of each male terminal fitting 100 is inserted into each positioning hole 53 of the protective wall 42 in a positioned state. The front end (front end) of the tab 102 of each male terminal fitting 100 is located inside each positioning hole 53 and does not protrude from the front surface of the protective wall 42. Therefore, each male terminal fitting 100 is protected by the protective wall 42 from external foreign matter.

  Prior to the fitting of the male connector C1 and the female connector C2, as shown in FIG. 13, the lever 80 is held at the temporary locking position with respect to the mating housing 60. In this state, the female connector C2 is shallowly fitted in the insertion space 44 of the male connector C1. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the front portion of the hood 41 of the frame 40 is inserted between the mating housing main body 61 and the frame portion 62, and each cam shaft 17 passes through the inlet 68 and the corresponding cam groove 83 Enter the entrance. Further, the mating housing main body 61 is disposed to face the protection wall 42 so as to be abuttable. In this state, the operating portion 81 is pressed, and the lever 80 is slid relative to the mating housing 60 toward the full locking position.

  In the process of the lever 80 moving toward the full locking position, each cam shaft 17 slides on the groove surface of the corresponding cam groove 83, and a cam mechanism acts between the lever 80 and the housing 10. On the other hand, no cam mechanism acts between the lever 80 and the frame 40. A pressing force is applied to the protective wall 42 from the mating housing main body 61, and the contact state between the forward movement restricting portion 19 and the front stopper 49 is elastically released, whereby the housing 10 leaves the frame 40 and the hood 41 I will be drawn inside.

  While the lever 80 is slid toward the full locking position, the frame 40 is retracted relative to the housing 10 from the initial position toward the fitting position, and the protective wall 42 is on the front side of the housing 10 It gradually approaches. As a result, the tabs 102 of each male terminal fitting 100 project forward from the protective wall 42, and the amount of projection of the tabs 102 gradually increases. In the process of moving the lever 80, the flange portion 16 of each cam shaft 17 can slide on the outer surface side of the cam plate portion 82.

  When the lever 80 reaches the full locking position, each camshaft 17 moves to the back side of the corresponding cam groove 83, and the frame 40 is brought to the fitting position relative to the housing 10. As shown in FIG. 3, in the fitting position, the mating housing main body 61 is deeply inserted into substantially the entire area of the insertion space 44, and the protective wall 42 substantially contacts the front side of the housing 10 so that the housing 10 and the mating housing It is sandwiched in the thickness direction between itself and the main body 61. Then, the base end side of the tab 102 of each male terminal fitting 100 is inserted into each positioning hole 53 of the protective wall 42, and the tip end side of the tab 102 of each male terminal fitting 100 is properly inserted into the connection portion 201 of the corresponding female terminal fitting 200. It is inserted in depth and is electrically connected. Further, in the fitting position, each lock projection 52 is elastically locked to each lock portion 71, and the male connector C1 and the female connector C2 are held in the fitted state.

  When the male connector C1 and the female connector C2 are detached due to maintenance or the like, the locking between each locking projection 52 and each locking portion 71 is released, the operation portion 81 is pulled, and the lever 80 is temporarily locked. Slide back to position. In the process of the lever 80 moving toward the temporary locking position, each cam shaft 17 slides on the groove surface of the corresponding cam groove 83 (the groove surface on the opposite side to that at the time of fitting), and between the lever 80 and the housing 10 The cam mechanism acts on the Thereby, the housing 10 is pulled away from the hood 41 leaving the frame 40 and brought to the original initial position shown in FIG. When the male connector C1 and the female connector C2 are disengaged from each other, a cam mechanism acts between the lever 80 and the housing 10, so that the relative position between the mating housing 60 and the frame 40 is kept substantially constant. The state in which the mating housing body 61 faces the protective wall 42 is maintained.

  In the case of the first embodiment, when the frame 40 is in the initial position relative to the housing 10, the distance (the depth of the entire hood portion) from the front surface of the housing 10 to the front end (front end) of the hood 41 is sufficient. It is set to be long. For this reason, even when the mating housing 60 is in a pinching posture inclined from the fitting axis with respect to the housing 10 when the male connector C1 and the female connector C2 are fitted, the mating housing 60 abuts on the protective wall 42 Or the collision force with which the mating housing 60 abuts on the protective wall 42 can be reduced. For this reason, the protective function which the protective wall 42 protects the tab 102 of each male terminal fitting 100 is exhibited appropriately, and the reliability which prevents prying fit can be improved. Further, when the frame 40 is in the fitting position relative to the housing 10, the distance from the front surface of the housing 10 to the tip of the hood 41 is shorter than the initial position, and the total length of the male connector C1 is smaller. The male connector C1 can be handled compactly.

  Further, in the case of the first embodiment, since the housing 10 is constituted by the plurality of divided housings 11, there is a circumstance that it is difficult to provide the frame 40 integrally with the housing 10 in the first place. Therefore, if the frame 40 and the housing 10 are separated, and further the hood 41 and the protective wall 42 are separated, the number of parts increases, and assembly work and parts management become complicated. In that respect, according to the above, since the hood 41 and the protective wall 42 are integrally provided on the frame 40, it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of parts and eliminate the complexity of the assembly work and the parts management. be able to.

  Further, the movement of the frame 40 relative to the housing 10 relative to the initial position and the fitting position is interlocked with the movement of the lever 80 relative to the mating housing 60 between the temporary locking position and the full locking position. Therefore, there is no need to perform special work, and the work load can be reduced.

  Furthermore, since the lever 80 is provided on the mating housing 60 side, the degree of freedom in design of the housing 10 can be increased, and the housing space portion 43 of the housing 10 can be provided on the frame 40 without any problem. Moreover, since the escape space portion 46 for escaping the cam shaft 17 is provided in the frame 40, interference of the housing 10 including the cam shaft 17 with the frame 40 in the assembly process can be reliably avoided.
