Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a jig for inserting a flat flexible cable (so-called FFC or FPC) into an FPC connector provided on a printed circuit board.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a jig for inserting a flat flexible cable into an FPC connector provided on a printed circuit board has a U-shaped cross-section that can be mounted by sliding from the side of the flat flexible cable. A jig having an elastic member and having a structure in which the flat flexible cable is curved in the longitudinal direction has been known (Actual Publication No. 2-5899).

The flat flexible cable is sandwiched by the fingers inside the elastic member having a U-shaped cross section, and the tip of the flat flexible cable is inserted into the insertion port of the FPC connector.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the conventional insertion jig is of a type in which the flat flexible cable is sandwiched by fingers, the flat flexible cable is clamped by one side, and the cable is inserted by one side into the FPC connector. There was a problem that there was a difference and the insertion situation varied, resulting in inefficient insertion work.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the insertion of the flat flexible cable into the FPC connector on the printed circuit board is substantially uniform without causing individual differences among workers. The objective is to provide a jig that can be used under various conditions.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention, which achieves the above-mentioned object, is a jig for inserting a flat flexible cable into an FPC connector on a printed circuit board, which can be attached to and detached from a receiving plate at an angle. The flat flexible cable insertion jig is characterized in that the flat flexible cable can be held between the receiving plate and the tip of the push plate.

Further, the jig is for inserting the flat flexible cable into the FPC connector on the printed circuit board, and the receiving plate forms an angle with the grip part through the fixing plate at the tip of the bar-shaped grip part. The push plate is provided so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the grip portion, and the tip of the push plate is opposed to the receiving plate, and the pushing plate is biased in a direction away from the receiving plate via a spring. The flat type flexible cable insertion tool is characterized in that it can be brought close to the receiving plate side against the spring by a push button provided on the proximal end side of the grip portion.

In the present invention as described above, it is preferable that the backing plate has a thickness substantially equal to the height of the insertion port of the FPC connector on the printed circuit board.

[0009]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, the flat type flexible cable can be clamped between the receiving plate and the pressing plate with an even force without being biased, so that the FPC connector can be inserted into the FPC connector under substantially constant conditions, and there is no variation among workers. can do.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is an insertion jig for a flat type flexible cable of an embodiment, and a fixing plate 3 is continuously provided at the tip of a rod-shaped grip portion 2 formed of a cylindrical body. A rising piece 4a of the L-shaped plate 4 is attached and fixed to the side surface of the tip, and a receiving plate 5 composed of a horizontal piece 4b of the L-shaped plate 4 is provided at an angle (about 60 degrees) with the grip portion 2. The front edge of the fixed plate 3 is V-shaped in cross section, and has a horizontal surface 3a parallel to the receiving plate 5 and a vertical surface 3b.

As shown in FIG. 2, a shaft 6 is fitted to the grip portion 2, and a push plate 7 connected to the tip of the shaft 6 is provided along the fixed plate 3, and the push plate 7 is provided. The tip of the is opposed to the receiving plate 5. The tip of the push plate 7 is also V-shaped in cross section to form a horizontal surface 7a and a vertical surface 7b, and the horizontal surface 7a is kept parallel to the receiving plate 5.

A spring chamber 8 is formed along the shaft 6 at the base end of the cylinder of the grip portion 2, and a coil spring 9 fitted to the shaft 6 is attached to the base end of the shaft 6 to form a push button 10. The push plate 7 is urged in a direction away from the receiving plate 5 by pushing outward.

A usage state of the flat flexible cable insertion jig 1 of the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, 11 is a printed circuit board, 12 is an FPC connector, and 13 is a flat flexible cable. To insert the flat flexible cable 13 into the FPC connector 12, the flat flexible cable 13 is placed on the receiving plate 5 and the push button 10 on the proximal end side of the grip portion 2 is pushed. By pushing the push button 10, the push plate 7 moves toward the receiving plate 5 side against the coil spring 9 and approaches, and the flat flexible cable 13 is sandwiched between the receiving plate 5 and the pressing plate 7. . At this time, the position of the flat flexible cable 13 is adjusted so that the vertical surface 7b of the push plate 7 contacts the inner edge 14a of the auxiliary plate 14 attached to the edge of the flat flexible cable 13. In this state, the insertion end 15 of the flat flexible cable 13 is supported in front of the receiving plate 5, so that the receiving plate 5 is slid on the printed circuit board 11 and moved to the FPC connector 12 side. Then, the push plate 7 pushes the auxiliary plate 14 and the insertion end 15 can be smoothly inserted into the FPC connector 12. If the thickness L of the receiving plate 5 and the height H of the insertion port 12a of the FPC connector 12 are made substantially equal to each other, the insertion can be further smoothed.

Since the flat flexible cable 13 is sandwiched between the receiving plate 5 and the pressing plate 7, it is supported by the uniform force over the front surface of the cable, and it can be grasped by one side or can be attached to the insertion port of the FPC connector by one side. The insertion work can be performed efficiently under certain insertion conditions without being inserted.
