The piece 12B and the first standing piece 14B of the second surrounding body 14 are tightened and assembled, whereby the connector 106 is locked while being inserted into the insertion port 104.

  The operation of inserting the connector 106 of the PC 101 into the insertion port 104 in a normal state (that is, in a state where the lock assembly 10 of this embodiment is not used) will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. I do.

  FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the connector 106 and the insertion port 104. First, a latch flapper 110 is attached to the upper surface 106A of the connector 106 so as to be elastically pushed in and biased. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the tip of the latch flapper 110 is connected to the front end of the upper surface 106A of the connector 106. It is integrally attached to the rim.

  Here, the base end 110A of the latch flapper 110 is set wide, and the front end 110B following the base end 110A is set narrower than the base end 110A. That is, the latch flapper 110 has a two-stage structure in the width direction, and is formed at a substantially middle portion with a step.

  FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the insertion port of the PC 101. As shown in FIG. 8, the insertion port 104 has a first groove portion 104A at the upper edge of the opening, into which the wide base end portion 110A of the latch flapper 110 can be inserted. A second groove portion 104B is formed on the upper bottom surface of the groove portion 104A, through which the wide base end portion 110A of the latch flapper 110 cannot be inserted and only the narrow end portion 110B can be inserted. Note that the thickness of the second groove 104B along the axial direction is set to be thin, and a so-called locking shoulder is defined.

  Since the insertion port 104 has such a structure, as shown in FIG. 7 again, when the connector 106 is inserted into the insertion port 104, the wide base end 110A of the latch flapper 110 becomes While being passed through the first groove 104A, it is gradually pushed down on the upper bottom surface thereof. Then, when the stepped portion that shifts to the tip portion 110B of the latch flapper 110 passes through the above-described shoulder portion, the narrow tip portion 110B falls into the second groove portion 104B by its own elastic force. As a result, the step of the latch flapper 110 is locked to the shoulder of the insertion port 104. Due to such a latching relationship between the step portion and the shoulder portion, the state of insertion of the connector 106 into the insertion port 104 is latched so that it cannot be pulled out.

  On the other hand, when removing the connector 106 from the inserted state, the latch flapper 110 is pressed down against its own elastic force. By this pressing down, the above-described locked state between the step portion and the shoulder portion is released, and the connector 106 is brought out of the insertion port 104. That is, the latch state of the connector 106 to the insertion port 104 is released. By pulling out the connector 106 from the insertion port 104 in this released state, the connector 106 is pulled out from the insertion port 104.

  In the configuration of the connector 106 and the insertion port 104 configured as described above, by using the lock assembly 10 of the present embodiment, the second surrounding body 14 of the assembled lock assembly 10 is integrally formed. The formed restriction piece 12D hinders the pushing-down movement of the latch flapper 110, thereby preventing the latch from being released by pushing down the latch flapper 110. As a result, the state in which the connector 106 is inserted into the insertion port 104 is maintained (that is, locked), and removal of the connector 106 from the insertion port 104 is reliably prohibited.

  Hereinafter, a procedure for assembling the first surrounding body 12 and the second surrounding body 14 with each other will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 13 is a front view when the first surrounding body 12 and the second surrounding body 14 are assembled to each other. The first surrounding body 12 is assembled so that the second surrounding body 14 assembled from above and the respective standing pieces partially overlap. That is, the projection 12G of the first upright piece 12C of the first surrounding body 12 is fitted into the through hole 14G of the second upright piece 14C of the second surrounding body 14. Next, the set screw 12H of the first upright piece 12B of the first surrounding body 12 and the screw hole 14H of the first upright piece 14B of the second surrounding body 14 are aligned so as to be at the same position. At 108, the first upright piece 12B of the first surrounding body 12 and the first upright piece 14B of the second surrounding body 14 are tightened and assembled.

  Thereafter, with the connector 106 inserted into the insertion port 104, the first upright portion of the first surrounding body 12 is placed such that the bottom 12A of the first surrounding body 12 contacts the upper surface 106A of the connector 106. The piece 12B and the second standing piece 12C are configured to be located below the connector 106. In this case, the locking pieces 12F provided on the first surrounding body 12 are in a state of cutting into the upper surface groove 106C at the base of the connector 106. Further, the restriction piece 12D is inserted under the latch flapper 110 so as to be in contact with and along the upper surface 106A of the connector 106 with the connector 106 being inserted into the insertion port 104. Further, the locking piece 14F of the second surrounding body 14 is in a state of biting into the bottom groove 106D at the root of the connector 106. In this state, the first surrounding body 12 and the second surrounding body 14 constituting the lock assembly 10 have a structure as shown in FIG. 6, and the first surrounding body 12 is first raised by the push screw 108. The piece 12B and the first standing piece 14B of the second surrounding body 14 are tightened and assembled, whereby the connector 106 is locked while being inserted into the insertion port 104.

  14 and 15, the operation in which the connector 106 of the hub 102 is inserted into the insertion port 104 in a normal state (ie, in a state where the lock assembly 10 of this embodiment is not used) is described. explain.

  FIG. 14 is a sectional view of the connector 106 and the insertion port 104. First, a latch flapper 110 is attached to the upper surface 106A of the connector 106 so as to be elastically pushed in and biased. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the tip of the latch flapper 110 is connected to the front end of the upper surface 106A of the connector 106. It is integrally attached to the rim.

  Here, the base end 110A of the latch flapper 110 is set wide, and the front end 110B following the base end 110A is set narrower than the base end 110A. That is, the latch flapper 110 has a two-stage structure in the width direction, and is formed at a substantially middle portion with a step.

  FIG. 15 is a perspective view showing an insertion port of the hub 102. As shown in FIG. 15, the plurality of insertion ports 104 have a first groove 104 </ b> A formed at the upper edge of the opening, through which the wide base end 110 </ b> A of the latch flapper 110 can be inserted. On the upper bottom surface of the first groove portion 104A, a second groove portion 104B is formed, through which the wide base end portion 110A of the latch flapper 110 cannot be inserted and only the narrow end portion 110B can be inserted. Note that the thickness of the second groove 104B along the axial direction is set to be thin, and a so-called locking shoulder is defined.

  Since the insertion port 104 has such a structure, as shown in FIG. 7 again, when the connector 106 is inserted into the insertion port 104, the wide base end 110A of the latch flapper 110 becomes While being passed through the first groove 104A, it is gradually pushed down on the upper bottom surface thereof. Then, when the stepped portion that shifts to the tip portion 110B of the latch flapper 110 passes through the above-described shoulder portion, the narrow tip portion 110B falls into the second groove portion 104B by its own elastic force. As a result, the step of the latch flapper 110 is locked to the shoulder of the insertion port 104. Due to such a latching relationship between the step portion and the shoulder portion, the state of insertion of the connector 106 into the insertion port 104 is latched so that it cannot be pulled out.

  On the other hand, when removing the connector 106 from the inserted state, the latch flapper 110 is pressed down against its own elastic force. By this pressing down, the above-described locked state between the step portion and the shoulder portion is released, and the connector 106 is brought out of the insertion port 104. That is, the latch state of the connector 106 to the insertion port 104 is released. By pulling out the connector 106 from the insertion port 104 in this released state, the connector 106 is pulled out from the insertion port 104.

  In the configuration of the connector 106 and the insertion port 104 configured as described above, by using the lock assembly 10 of the present embodiment, the second surrounding body 14 of the assembled lock assembly 10 is integrally formed. The formed restriction piece 12D hinders the pushing-down movement of the latch flapper 110, thereby preventing the latch from being released by pushing down the latch flapper 110. As a result, the state in which the connector 106 is inserted into the insertion port 104 is maintained (that is, locked), and removal of the connector 106 from the insertion port 104 is reliably prohibited.

  As described in detail above, using the lock assembly 10 according to this embodiment, the state of the connector 106 inserted into the insertion port 104 of the PC 101 or the hub 102 is inserted into the insertion port 104. By locking, the LAN cable 100 can be effectively locked to the PC 101 or the hub 102. As a result, it is possible to effectively prevent theft, including easily moving the PC to another place. That is, in this embodiment, compared to the conventional method in which the PC is stopped at the installation place using a connecting tool such as a wire for locking, any other member is bonded to the housing of the PC. Without the need to lock (prohibit) the removal of the connector 106 already connected to the PC 101 or the hub 102, the effect of preventing theft of the PC can be obtained, and its usefulness is extremely high. is there.

  In particular, in the state where the lock assembly 10 according to this embodiment is used, a person who intends to take the PC 101 away (forcibly move it from the installation location) has no choice but to disconnect the LAN cable 100. It is. However, once the LAN cable 100 is cut, for example, a metal cutter blade contacts the cord in the LAN cable 100 and short-circuits, and this short-circuit phenomenon occurs when the LAN cable 100 is connected. Is detected by the server, and an unintended disconnection of the LAN cable 100 can be recognized in this server. Further, even when the short phenomenon is not detected, the cord is in an open state in the LAN cable 100 after the disconnection, and the open state is detected by the server. In this state, an unintended disconnection of the LAN cable 100 is recognized.

  That is, by using the lock assembly 10 of this embodiment, not only the theft of the PC 101 can be prevented, but also in the event that the PC 101 is stolen, the fact that the PC 101 has been stolen can be immediately detected. It is possible to improve so-called security.
