以下、本発明を実施するための最良の形態を、実施例に基づいて詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail based on examples.

図１には、本発明の一実施例のＵＳＢコネクタを適用した電源アダプタの外観が示されている。同図に示すように、電源アダプタ１０は、コンセント（図示せず）に差し込まれる電源プラグ１２を備えており、商用電源のＡＣ１００ＶからＵＳＢ規格の電圧ＤＣ５Ｖを得る機能を備えている。電圧変換を行う回路が組み込まれた回路基板１４には、適宜位置に取付基板１６が設けられており、本実施例のＵＳＢコネクタ１００が取り付けられている。図１(B-1)は、取付基板１６とＵＳＢコネクタ１００の部分が取り出して示されており、同図のＵＳＢコネクタ１００の開口側から見た様子が同図(B-2)に示されており、平面から見た様子が同図(B-3)に示されている。なお、以下の説明では、取付基板１６側を背面側とし、ＵＳＢコネクタ１００の開口側を正面側として説明する。 FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a power adapter to which the USB connector of one embodiment of the present invention is applied. As shown in the figure, the power adapter 10 includes a power plug 12 that is inserted into an outlet (not shown), and has a function of obtaining a USB standard voltage DC5V from AC100V of a commercial power source. A mounting board 16 is provided at an appropriate position on the circuit board 14 in which a circuit for performing voltage conversion is incorporated, and the USB connector 100 of this embodiment is mounted. FIG. 1 (B-1) shows the mounting board 16 and the USB connector 100 taken out, and the view from the opening side of the USB connector 100 in the figure is shown in FIG. 1 (B-2). The view from the plane is shown in the figure (B-3). In the following description, the mounting board 16 side will be the back side, and the opening side of the USB connector 100 will be the front side.

次に、取付基板１６に対するＵＳＢコネクタ１００の取り付け手順を説明すると、まず、同図(C)に示すように、取付基板１６に対して、電極端子を有するＵＳＢレセプタクル１１０を取り付ける。図示の例では、取付基板１６に設けたスリット１８に、ＵＳＢレセプタクル１１０の後ろ側の足１１２を差し込むことで、取付けが行われる。ＵＳＢレセプタクル１１０には、ピン端子１１４が設けられている。 Next, the procedure for attaching the USB connector 100 to the mounting board 16 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3C, the USB receptacle 110 having an electrode terminal is attached to the mounting board 16. In the illustrated example, mounting is performed by inserting the foot 112 on the rear side of the USB receptacle 110 into the slit 18 provided in the mounting board 16. The USB receptacle 110 is provided with a pin terminal 114.

ＵＳＢレセプタクル１１０の開口側には、内枠１２０が取り付けられる。内枠１２０は、ＵＳＢレセプタクル１１０の開口を覆う形状となっており、後ろ側にフランジ１２２を備えており、適宜個所に強度を高めるためのリブ１２４が設けられている。側面には、突起１２６がそれぞれ設けられており、これら突起１２６には、ねじりコイルバネ１２８がそれぞれ設けれている。更に、内枠１２０の正面側には、ＵＳＢプラグが挿入される開口１３０が設けられており、この開口１３０を挟んで上側に、２つのガイド溝１３２，１３２が並列に設けられており、下側にも、２つのガイド溝１３４，１３４が並列に設けられている。 An inner frame 120 is attached to the opening side of the USB receptacle 110. The inner frame 120 has a shape that covers the opening of the USB receptacle 110, is provided with a flange 122 on the rear side, and is provided with ribs 124 for increasing strength at appropriate points. Each of the protrusions 126 is provided on the side surface, and each of these protrusions 126 is provided with a torsion coil spring 128. Further, an opening 130 into which a USB plug is inserted is provided on the front side of the inner frame 120, and two guide grooves 132 and 132 are provided in parallel on the upper side of the opening 130. Two guide grooves 134 and 134 are also provided in parallel on the side.

次に、内枠１２０の開口１３０には、更に開閉カバー１４０が取り付けられる。開閉カバー１４０は、上カバー１５０と、下カバー１６０によって構成されている。上カバー１５０の後ろ側には、上述した内枠１２０の上側のガイド溝１３２，１３２にそれぞれ入り込む突起１５２，１５２が設けられている。下カバー１６０の後ろ側には、上述した内枠１２０の下側のガイド溝１３４，１３４にそれぞれスライド可能に入り込む突起１６２，１６２が設けられている（後述する図３参照）。これらガイド溝１３２と突起１５２，ガイド溝１３４と突起１６２とによって、上カバー１５０，下カバー１６０のスライド方向が規制されている。 Next, an opening / closing cover 140 is further attached to the opening 130 of the inner frame 120. The opening / closing cover 140 is composed of an upper cover 150 and a lower cover 160. On the rear side of the upper cover 150, protrusions 152 and 152 that enter the guide grooves 132 and 132 on the upper side of the inner frame 120 described above are provided. On the rear side of the lower cover 160, protrusions 162 and 162 that slide into the guide grooves 134 and 134 on the lower side of the inner frame 120 described above are provided (see FIG. 3 to be described later). The slide directions of the upper cover 150 and the lower cover 160 are regulated by the guide groove 132 and the protrusion 152, and the guide groove 134 and the protrusion 162.

次に、上カバー１５０，下カバー１６０の側面には、左右一対のバネ受け１５４，１６４がそれぞれ設けられている。バネ受け１５４，１６４は、上カバー１５０と下カバー１６０の当接面側に向かって傾斜している。一方、上述したねじりコイルバネ１２８は、先端側が内側に多少曲折しており、これら曲折部１２８Ａ，１２８Ｂが、前記バネ受け１５４，１６４にそれぞれ当接するようになっている。 Next, a pair of left and right spring receivers 154 and 164 are provided on the side surfaces of the upper cover 150 and the lower cover 160, respectively. The spring receivers 154 and 164 are inclined toward the contact surface side of the upper cover 150 and the lower cover 160. On the other hand, the above-mentioned torsion coil spring 128 is slightly bent inward on the tip side, and these bent portions 128A and 128B are in contact with the spring receivers 154 and 164, respectively.

図２(A)には、内枠１２０の開口１３０に、上カバー１５０と下カバー１６０を取り付けた状態が示されている。内枠１２０の上側のガイド溝１３２，１３２に、上カバー１５０の突起１５２，１５２がスライド可能に入り込んでおり、内枠１２０の下側のガイド溝１３４，１３４に、下カバー１６０の突起１６２，１６２がスライド可能に入り込んでいる。更に、上カバー１５０，下カバー１６０のバネ受け１５４，１６４に、ねじりコイルバネ１２８の曲折部１２８Ａ，１２８Ｂが当接する。これにより、上カバー１５０が下方に、下カバー１６０が上方に付勢され、上カバー１５０，下カバー１６０が閉じた状態で保持されるようになる。 FIG. 2A shows a state in which the upper cover 150 and the lower cover 160 are attached to the opening 130 of the inner frame 120. The protrusions 152 and 152 of the upper cover 150 are slidably inserted into the guide grooves 132 and 132 on the upper side of the inner frame 120, and the protrusions 162 and 162 of the lower cover 160 are inserted into the guide grooves 134 and 134 on the lower side of the inner frame 120. 162 is slippery. Further, the bent portions 128A and 128B of the torsion coil spring 128 come into contact with the spring receivers 154 and 164 of the upper cover 150 and the lower cover 160. As a result, the upper cover 150 is urged downward and the lower cover 160 is urged upward, and the upper cover 150 and the lower cover 160 are held in a closed state.

上カバー１５０，下カバー１６０の正面側には、それらの当接面側に向かって奥まるように傾斜面１５６，１６６が形成されている。このため、外部からＵＳＢプラグ５０が挿入されると、図２(B)に示すように、ＵＳＢプラグ５０によって、上カバー１５０がねじりコイルバネ１２８の付勢力に抗して押し上げられ、下カバー１６０がねじりコイルバネ１２８の付勢力に抗して押し下げられるようになる。これにより、上カバー１５０，下カバー１６０が上下方向に開くようになる。 Inclined surfaces 156 and 166 are formed on the front side of the upper cover 150 and the lower cover 160 so as to be recessed toward the contact surface side thereof. Therefore, when the USB plug 50 is inserted from the outside, as shown in FIG. 2B, the upper cover 150 is pushed up against the urging force of the torsion coil spring 128 by the USB plug 50, and the lower cover 160 is pushed up. It will be pushed down against the urging force of the torsion coil spring 128. As a result, the upper cover 150 and the lower cover 160 are opened in the vertical direction.

内枠１２０には、図２(A)に示すように、上カバー１５０，下カバー１６０を挟んで、外枠１７０が被せられる。外枠１７０には、前記内枠１２０の開口１３０に連通する開口１７２が設けられている。ＵＳＢプラグ５０は、この外枠１７０の開口１７２から、開閉カバー１４０を上下に開いて、内枠１２０の開口１３０内に挿入されるようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 2A, the inner frame 120 is covered with the outer frame 170 with the upper cover 150 and the lower cover 160 interposed therebetween. The outer frame 170 is provided with an opening 172 that communicates with the opening 130 of the inner frame 120. The USB plug 50 is inserted into the opening 130 of the inner frame 120 by opening the opening / closing cover 140 vertically from the opening 172 of the outer frame 170.

次に、図３の主要断面図も参照しながら、本実施例の動作を説明する。まず、ＵＳＢコネクタ１００に対して、ＵＳＢプラグ５０が挿入されていない状態では、図３(A)に示すように、ねじりコイルバネ１２８に付勢されて開閉カバー１４０が閉じた状態となっている。この状態で、開閉カバー１４０にＵＳＢプラグ５０を、外枠１７０の開口１７２に挿入すると、ＵＳＢプラグ５０の先端が上カバー１５０，下カバー１６０の傾斜面１５６，１６６に当たるようになる。すると、上カバー１５０の背面側の突起１５２，１５２が、内枠１２０のガイド溝１３２，１３２に沿ってスライドし、上カバー１５０は、ねじりコイルバネ１２８の付勢力に抗して押し上げられる。同様に、下カバー１６０の背面側の突起１６２，１６２が、内枠１２０のガイド溝１３４，１３４に沿ってスライドし、下カバー１６０は、ねじりコイルバネ１２８の付勢力に抗して押し下げられる。これにより、図３(B)に示すように、開閉カバー１４０が上下方向に開くようになる。 Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the main sectional view of FIG. First, when the USB plug 50 is not inserted into the USB connector 100, the opening / closing cover 140 is closed by being urged by the torsion coil spring 128 as shown in FIG. 3A. In this state, when the USB plug 50 is inserted into the opening 172 of the outer frame 170 into the open / close cover 140, the tip of the USB plug 50 comes into contact with the inclined surfaces 156 and 166 of the upper cover 150 and the lower cover 160. Then, the protrusions 152 and 152 on the back surface side of the upper cover 150 slide along the guide grooves 132 and 132 of the inner frame 120, and the upper cover 150 is pushed up against the urging force of the torsion coil spring 128. Similarly, the protrusions 162 and 162 on the back surface side of the lower cover 160 slide along the guide grooves 134 and 134 of the inner frame 120, and the lower cover 160 is pushed down against the urging force of the torsion coil spring 128. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3B, the open / close cover 140 opens in the vertical direction.

そして、更に、ＵＳＢコネクタ１００に対してＵＳＢプラグ５０を挿入すると、図３(C)に示すように、ＵＳＢプラグ５０のピン端子５２が、ＵＳＢレセプタクル１１０のピン端子１１４と接触する。これにより、ＵＳＢコネクタ１００にＵＳＢプラグ５０が機械的・電気的に結合する。逆に、ＵＳＢコネクタ１００からＵＳＢプラグ５０を引き抜くと、図３(B)→同図(A)に示すように、上カバー１５０，下カバー１６０がねじりコイルバネ１２８に付勢されて閉じるようになる。 Further, when the USB plug 50 is further inserted into the USB connector 100, the pin terminal 52 of the USB plug 50 comes into contact with the pin terminal 114 of the USB receptacle 110, as shown in FIG. 3 (C). As a result, the USB plug 50 is mechanically and electrically coupled to the USB connector 100. On the contrary, when the USB plug 50 is pulled out from the USB connector 100, the upper cover 150 and the lower cover 160 are urged by the torsion coil spring 128 to close as shown in FIG. 3 (B) → FIG. 3 (A). ..

以上のように、本実施例によれば、開閉カバー１４０が取り付けられる。開閉カバー１４０を、上カバー１５０と下カバー１６０で構成して、プラグ非接続時は閉じた状態となるようにねじりコイルバネ１２８で付勢する。そして、プラグ挿入時は、ねじりコイルバネ１２８の付勢力に抗して開閉カバー１４０を開くこととしたので、構造が簡略化され、カバー付きＵＳＢコネクタの小型化・軽量化を図ることができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the opening / closing cover 140 is attached. The opening / closing cover 140 is composed of an upper cover 150 and a lower cover 160, and is urged by a torsion coil spring 128 so as to be in a closed state when the plug is not connected. When the plug is inserted, the opening / closing cover 140 is opened against the urging force of the torsion coil spring 128, so that the structure can be simplified and the USB connector with a cover can be made smaller and lighter.
