しかしながら上記文献1のカバー付きUSBコネクタは、USBプラグを抜差しする度に該カバーを使用者の手で開閉しなくてはならず、取り扱いが煩雑である課題があった。その課題を解決した上記文献2のカバー付きUSBコネクタの考案は、前面パネル開口部が大きく、USBプラグ先端を適正にガイドできないため、カバーの匡体からの突出部でガイドしていた。そのため、USBプラグ挿入の際、カバーが揺動し安定したガイドができず、スムーズに挿入できない課題があった。また、埃等の異物は侵入は防止できるが、1対のカバーが前面パネル開口部の中央部で接合しているため、その部分からの水等の液体異物の浸入は防止できなかった。  However, the USB connector with a cover described in the above-mentioned document 1 has to be opened and closed by a user's hand every time a USB plug is inserted and removed, and there is a problem that handling is complicated. The invented USB connector with cover disclosed in the above-mentioned document 2 that solves the problem has a large opening on the front panel and cannot properly guide the end of the USB plug. Therefore, the USB connector is guided by the protrusion of the cover from the housing. Therefore, when inserting a USB plug, there is a problem that the cover swings and a stable guide cannot be provided, and the insertion cannot be performed smoothly. In addition, foreign matter such as dust can be prevented from entering, but since a pair of covers are joined at the center of the front panel opening, penetration of liquid foreign matter such as water from the portion cannot be prevented.

本考案は上記の課題に鑑みなされたもので、その目的は、使用者が開閉しなくともUSBプラグの挿入に伴って開き、該USBプラグを抜くと自動的に閉鎖されるものであって、スムーズにUSBプラグを挿入できるものである。さらには、水等の液体異物の浸入を防止できるカバー付きUSBコネクタを提供することである。  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to open with the insertion of a USB plug without opening and closing by a user, and to be automatically closed when the USB plug is removed, A USB plug can be inserted smoothly. Another object of the present invention is to provide a USB connector with a cover that can prevent intrusion of liquid foreign matter such as water.

上記目的を達するために、本考案は次のとおりの構成としている。  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration.

本考案のカバー付きUSBコネクタは、USBプラグが挿通可能な開口部を有する前面パネルと、前記前面パネルの背後に、受口が前記開口部よりも後退した位置となるように配設されたUSBレセプタクルと、前記USBレセプタクルの長辺に沿ってカバー部が該USBレセプタクル受口に開閉可能となるよう揺動自在に配設され、該カバー部が前記開口部方向に揺動することにより前記受口を閉鎖し、該カバー部が該開口部から後退することにより該受口を開放するコネクタカバーと、前記コネクタカバーをそのカバー部が常に該開口部に向かう方向に付勢する付勢手段と、前記USBプラグの先端をガイド可能な矩形穴を有し、該USBプラグの挿脱方向に摺動自在なプラグガイドとを備えていることを特徴としている。  The USB connector with a cover according to the present invention includes a front panel having an opening through which a USB plug can be inserted, and a USB disposed behind the front panel such that a receptacle is located at a position retracted from the opening. A receptacle and a cover portion are provided along the long side of the USB receptacle so as to be swingable so as to be openable and closable at the USB receptacle receptacle. A connector cover that closes a mouth and opens the receiving port by retreating the cover from the opening, and urging means for urging the connector cover in a direction in which the cover always faces the opening. And a plug guide that has a rectangular hole that can guide the end of the USB plug and that is slidable in the insertion / removal direction of the USB plug.

この構成によれば、USBプラグの先端部をプラグガイドの矩形穴に合わせ押し入れることで、該先端部がコネクタカバーを押し、それに伴い、コネクタカバーが付勢手段の付勢力に逆らって揺動することによってUSBレセプタクルの受口が開放されるため、USBレセプタクルにUSBプラグを挿入することができる。その際、プラグガイドの矩形穴がUSBプラグを適正な位置にガイドできるため、スムーズな挿入が可能となる。また、USBプラグを引き抜くと、付勢手段の付勢力によりコネクタカバーが自動的に開口部に向かい揺動し、同時にプラグガイドも戻り、コネクターカバーはプラグガイドの係合部まで付勢され、該受口が閉鎖されるため、USBプラグを抜いた後に受口部が開いたままになることがなく、コネクタカバーの閉め忘れに起因する埃等の異物の侵入を確実に防止することができる。  According to this configuration, the front end of the USB plug is pushed into the rectangular hole of the plug guide by pushing the front end of the plug into the rectangular hole of the plug guide, whereby the connector cover swings against the urging force of the urging means. By doing so, the receptacle of the USB receptacle is opened, so that the USB plug can be inserted into the USB receptacle. At that time, the rectangular hole of the plug guide can guide the USB plug to an appropriate position, so that smooth insertion is possible. Also, when the USB plug is pulled out, the connector cover automatically swings toward the opening by the urging force of the urging means, and at the same time, the plug guide also returns, and the connector cover is urged to the engagement portion of the plug guide. Since the receptacle is closed, the receptacle does not remain open after the USB plug is unplugged, and it is possible to reliably prevent foreign matter such as dust from entering due to forgetting to close the connector cover.

また、上記カバー付きUSBコネクタは、前記プラグガイドの矩形穴部およびコネクターカバーとプラグガイドの係合部にゴムパッキンを設けても良い。  In the USB connector with a cover, rubber packing may be provided in a rectangular hole of the plug guide and an engaging portion between the connector cover and the plug guide.

この構成によれば、USBプラグを挿入した際、USBプラグとプラグガイド間の隙間をゴムパッキンで密閉することで水等の液体異物の浸入を防ぐことができる。  According to this configuration, when the USB plug is inserted, the gap between the USB plug and the plug guide is sealed with rubber packing, so that intrusion of liquid foreign matter such as water can be prevented.

また、本考案のカバー付きUSBコネクタは、前記コネクタカバーが付勢された状態のコネクタカバーとプラグガイドとの係合部にゴムパッキンを設けても良い。  In the USB connector with a cover of the present invention, a rubber packing may be provided at an engagement portion between the connector cover and the plug guide in a state where the connector cover is urged.

この構成によれば、USBプラグを引き抜いた際、コネクタカバーとプラグガイドとの係合部の隙間をゴムパッキンで密閉することで水等の液体異物の浸入を防ぐことができる。  According to this configuration, when the USB plug is pulled out, the gap between the engaging portion between the connector cover and the plug guide is sealed with the rubber packing, so that intrusion of liquid foreign matter such as water can be prevented.

本考案によれば、USBプラグをスムーズに挿入ができ、水等の液体異物の浸入を防止可能な、USBプラグの挿脱で自動的に開閉されるカバー付きUSBコネクタを提供することができる。  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a USB connector with a cover that can be inserted and removed automatically by inserting and removing the USB plug, which can smoothly insert the USB plug and prevent liquid foreign matter such as water from entering.

上記のように構成されるカバー付きUSBコネクタ1にUSBプラグ10を挿入する際には、該USBプラグ10の先端部10aを上記プラグガイド挿通部54(ゴムパッキン挿通部81)に、押し入れることで該先端部10aがカバー部40を開く。それに伴い、図6に示すようにカバー部40が各ネジリコイルバネ11、12の付勢力に逆らって揺動基部31,31を中心に付勢位置から筐体3内部に揺動することによってUSBレセプタクル6の受口6aが開放されるため、USBプラグ10の先端部10aを筐体3内のUSBレセプタクル4に挿入することができる。
-How to use USB connector 1 with cover-
When inserting the USB plug 10 into the USB connector with cover 1 configured as described above, the distal end portion 10a of the USB plug 10 is pushed into the plug guide insertion portion 54 (rubber packing insertion portion 81). Then, the tip 10a opens the cover 40. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6, the cover portion 40 swings from the biasing position to the inside of the housing 3 around the swinging base portions 31, 31 against the biasing force of each of the torsion coil springs 11, 12, so that the USB receptacle is provided. Since the receiving port 6 a of the USB plug 6 is opened, the distal end 10 a of the USB plug 10 can be inserted into the USB receptacle 4 in the housing 3.

このとき、図7で示すように、USBプラグ先端10aが直接コネクタカバー4を押し開いた後、USBプラグ10の本体部10bがゴムパッキン8を介しプラグガイド5を押し、プラグガイド5が移動することにより、コネクターカバー4を最終位置まで押し込むことになる。そして、ゴムパッキン8とUSBプラグ10の本体10bが密閉され、USBレセプタクル6への水等の液体異物の浸入を防ぐことができる。  At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, after the USB plug tip 10a directly pushes and opens the connector cover 4, the main body 10b of the USB plug 10 pushes the plug guide 5 via the rubber packing 8, and the plug guide 5 moves. As a result, the connector cover 4 is pushed to the final position. Then, the rubber packing 8 and the main body 10b of the USB plug 10 are hermetically closed, so that intrusion of liquid foreign matter such as water into the USB receptacle 6 can be prevented.

上記のようにUSBプラグ10が挿入されたカバー付きUSBコネクタ1からUSBプラグ10を引き抜くと、各ネジリコイルバネ11、12の付勢力によりコネクタカバー4が自動的に開口部21方向に戻り、USBレセプタクル6の受口6aをコネクタカバー4のカバー部40で閉鎖される。そして、同時にプラグガイド5もコネクタカバー4に追従し、元の付勢位置へ戻る。  When the USB plug 10 is pulled out from the USB connector with cover 1 into which the USB plug 10 is inserted as described above, the connector cover 4 automatically returns to the opening 21 by the urging force of the torsion coil springs 11 and 12, and the USB receptacle 6 is closed by the cover portion 40 of the connector cover 4. At the same time, the plug guide 5 also follows the connector cover 4 and returns to the original urging position.
