The one shown in FIG. 11 is known. On the upper surface of the male connector 1 fixed on the substrate 2, a slot-shaped engaging portion 1a is formed. On the other hand, on the upper surface of the female connector 5 fitted and connected to the male connector 1, a flexible lock piece having a projection 7a which is locked by the engagement portion 1a when the connectors 1 and 5 are connected is provided. It is formed integrally. Male connector 1
As shown in FIG. 12, a pair of lock detection electrodes 4a and 4b are provided on both sides of a positioning piece 3 having an inverted T-shaped cross section. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12, a short-circuit electrode 6 having a U-shape that sandwiches the positioning piece 3 from both sides is provided inside the female connector 5.

ものと判断される。In such a configuration, when the flexible locking piece 7 of the female connector 5 is inserted into the male connector 1 while being elastically deformed, in the initial stage, the short-circuit electrode 6 becomes a partition wall of the positioning projection 3. As shown in FIG. 13, the guide projections 3b project from the portions 3a and are elastically deformed upward to be separated from the detection electrodes 4a and 4b. When the female connector 5 is inserted to the normal position of the male connector 1,
The protrusions 7a of the flexible lock pieces 7 are locked to the engagement portions 1a, so that the connectors 1 and 5 are locked undetachably.
As shown in (1), the short-circuit electrode 6 comes off the guide projection 3b and comes into contact with the lock detection electrodes 4a and 4b. The lock detection electrodes 4a and 4b are connected to a detection circuit (not shown). When the lock detection electrodes 4a and 4b are short-circuited, it is determined that both connectors 1 and 5 are connected in a locked state.

た。In the above-described conventional lock detection structure, the short-circuiting electrode 6 is provided inside the female connector 5, but by adopting such a structure, foreign substances such as dust and dirt are short-circuited. Although it is possible to prevent the detection electrodes 4a and 4b from being insulated by foreign matter when the detection electrodes 4a and 4b come into contact with the short-circuiting electrode 6 to prevent short-circuiting, the state of the short-circuiting electrode 6 is reduced. Since it cannot be confirmed visually, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of quality control that the short-circuit electrode 6 is kept hidden.
Therefore, a short-circuit electrode is provided on the outer surface of the connector so that the entire connector is covered with a cover when not connected to the mating connector, and when the state of the short-circuit electrode is visually checked or connected to the mating connector. In such a case, it is conceivable to remove the cover to expose the short-circuit electrode. However, in such a method, it is necessary to perform a separate process of removing the cover prior to performing the connection work when connecting the two connectors, and this lowers the work efficiency of the entire work process. There was a disadvantage.

When the female connector 10 is fitted into the hood portion 31 of the male connector 30 at the time of connection with the male connector 30 at the initial stage of the fitting, as shown in FIG. The joint portion 35 contacts the upper surface of the short-circuit electrode 16 and pushes it downward together with the flexible lock piece 12 to elastically deform the electrode. The detection electrodes 33 and 33 are kept separated from the short-circuit electrode 16. As the fitting progresses, as shown in FIG. 9, the tip of the engaging portion 35 comes into contact with the front end of the protection plate portion 21 of the cover 20, and as the fitting further progresses, the detection electrodes 33, 33 are formed.

5, the pressing of the flexible lock piece 12 and the short-circuit electrode 16 is released. As a result, the flexible lock piece 12 and the short-circuit electrode 16 are restored upward by their elastic restoring force, and are moved upward as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 0, the engagement portion 35 is fitted into the engagement hole 17, and the tips 33 a, 33 a of the detection electrodes 33, 33 abut on the contacts 16 a, 16 a of the short-circuit electrode 16. When the engagement portion 35 is fitted into the engagement hole 17, the rear end of the engagement portion 35 can be engaged with the front end of the engagement hole 17.
Movements 0 and 30 are prevented from moving in the disengagement direction and locked in the connected state. In addition, the short-circuit electrode 16 and the detection electrode 33,
When the contact 33 comes into contact, the detection electrodes 33, 33 are short-circuited, and this is detected by the detection circuit, and it is determined that the connectors 10, 30 are locked.

知構造。When a pair of connected connectors reach a locked state in which they cannot be disengaged by engagement of a flexible locking piece and an engagement portion, the two electrodes are connected by contact between a short-circuit electrode and a detection electrode. A lock detection structure of a connector configured to detect that the lock is detected, wherein the short-circuit electrode is provided so as to be exposed on an outer surface of one of the connectors, and the detection electrode is provided on the other connector. An outer surface of one connector is provided with a cover slidable between a protection position for covering the short-circuit electrode and an open position for exposing the short-circuit electrode when the other connector is not connected. Connector lock detection structure.
