The restricting protrusion 67 is integrally formed, the outer wall surface of the other connector housing 68 is brought into contact with the surface of the protruding restricting protrusion 67 without any gap, and the rattling of the connectors 63 and 65 in the fitting orthogonal direction is restricted. It is a thing.
[0003]
One connector housing 64 includes a male inner housing 64a and a rectangular cylindrical hood portion 64b outside the female housing 62, and a female terminal 62 is accommodated in the inner housing 64a. The female terminal 62 is double-locked by a synthetic resin front holder 69. A waterproof packing 71 is attached to the base of the inner housing 64a. The rattling restricting projection 67 has a substantially rectangular shape.
[0004]
The other connector housing 68 is inserted between the hood portion 64b and the inner housing 64a. FIG. 7 shows a state immediately before fitting. Simultaneously with the fitting of both connector housings 64, 68, both male and female terminals 62, 70 are connected, the tip of the other connector housing 68 is in close contact with the packing 71, and the lock arm 72 of the hood portion 64b is the other connector housing. The two connectors 63 and 65 are locked by engaging with the engaging protrusions 74 of the connector 68, and at the same time, the hood portion 64a of one connector housing 64 and the ratchet in the connector fitting orthogonal direction between the other connector housing 68 are connected. It is prevented by the restricting projection 67, and the wear of the male and female terminals 62, 70 due to vibration during traveling of the vehicle is reduced.
[0005]
However, in the conventional connector 61, although the rattling in the connector fitting orthogonal direction is restricted, the rattling in the connector fitting direction is not regulated. There is a problem in that both the male and female terminals 62 and 70 are rubbed with each other through the connector 61, resulting in abrasion and abrasion corrosion.
[0006]
Further, since the rattling restricting protrusion 67 protrudes from the inner surface of the hood part 64a, the hood part 64a and the other connector housing 68 come into contact with each other via the restricting protruding part 67, and the rattling is restricted. Although the inner housing 64a which is a terminal accommodating portion of one connector housing 64 and the other connector housing 68 are not in contact with each other, rattling of the inner housing 64a is not directly prevented, There was a concern that rattling occurred on the male / female terminals 62 and 70 and the wear of both terminals 62 and 70 could not be completely eliminated.
[0007]
Furthermore, when used for a long period of time, the rattling restricting projection 67 is worn away by vibration during vehicle travel, and a gap is formed between the hood portion 64b and the outer wall surface of the other connector housing 68. There was also concern that rattling in the direction perpendicular to the fit could occur.

The male connector housing 13 includes an inner housing 15 as a terminal accommodating portion and a hood 25 that covers the outer side.
[0023]
The inner housing 15 has a substantially rectangular cross section, and has a two-pole terminal accommodating chamber 16 partitioned by a partition wall 16 a and an insertion hole 20 (FIG. 3) for the spacer 45. The terminal accommodating chamber 16 is formed with a terminal locking lance 17 (FIG. 5) including a base portion 17a and a free end portion 17b following the base portion 17a. A protrusion 17 c is formed on the tip end side of the terminal locking lance 17, and the female terminal 33 is locked by engaging the protrusion 17 c with the locking hole 33 a of the female terminal 33. . The insertion hole 20 is formed in communication with the bending space 18 of the terminal accommodating chamber 16 and the terminal locking lance 17.

[0025]
As shown in FIG. 2, a locking arm 23 for locking the connector housings 13 and 48 is formed on the upper wall portion of the inner housing 15. The locking arm 23 has a seesaw shape and is supported at two points by a base portion 23a connected to the wall portion (FIG. 1). A vertical locking surface 23b is formed on the distal end side of the locking arm 23, and the locking projections 54 of the female connector housing 48 come into contact with the locking surface 23b. It is designed to be locked.
[0026]
In addition, the top / bottom, left / right, and front / back definitions in this specification are defined as follows for convenience.

The front-rear direction z is defined as the connector fitting direction, with the fitting tip side of both connector housings 13 and 48 being the front and the lead-out side of the terminal 55 or the electric wire 35 being the rear.
[0027]
The hood 25 is an outer wall that surrounds the inner housing 15 from the outside. A protective wall 26a is formed on the upper wall portion 26 of the hood 25 to protect the locking arm 23 from external interference. Guide grooves 27 a and 28 a for the guide ribs 49 a and 49 b of the female connector housing 48 are formed in the lower wall portion 27 and the one side wall 28 of the hood 23, respectively. By forming the guide grooves 27a and 28a at positions orthogonal to each other, the female connector housing 48 is positioned in the vertical direction x and the horizontal direction y so that the connector housings 13 and 48 can be smoothly fitted. It has become.
[0028]
As shown in FIG. 3, a substantially annular gap 29 is formed between the inner housing 15 and the hood 25. The gap 29 accommodates the spring packing 31, the inner ring 38, and the outer ring 42, and allows the peripheral wall 49 of the female connector housing 48 to enter. Since the outer ring 42 is assembled in a state of protruding from the front end surface 15 a of the inner housing 15, the front end surface 43 c of the outer ring 42 is attached to the inner wall 52 a of the female connector housing 48 when both the connector housings 13 and 48 are fitted. The inner ring 38 and the outer ring 42 are united with each other by being pushed in.
[0029]
The spring packing 31 (FIG. 1) is a waterproof packing, and is provided along the outer peripheral surface of the inner housing 15 using synthetic rubber or the like as a constituent material. Two protrusions 31 a and 31 a are formed on the outer surface of the spring packing 31 so as to be in close contact with the inner surface of the peripheral wall 49 of the female connector housing 48. The rear end surface 31 b of the spring packing 31 is in contact with the inner wall 15 of the inner housing 15, and the front end surface 31 c is in contact with the rear end surface 39 c of the inner ring 38.
[0030]
Each of the inner ring 38 and the outer ring 42 as the rattling regulating members is resin-molded. Both the rings 38 and 42 are movable along the outer peripheral surface of the inner housing 15, but are protrusions (locking portions) 43 f (FIG. 2) protruding from the inscribed surface 43 e of the outer ring 42 located on the opening side. 4) prevents the inner housing 15 from coming out. The inner ring 38 is positioned between the spring packing 31 and the outer ring 42 and is assembled so as to be elastically supported by the spring packing 31. The outer ring 42 is located outside the inner ring 38, and is assembled in a state in which the front end side protrudes from the front end surface of the inner housing 15.
[0031]
The inner ring 38 is formed by connecting a plurality of contact portions 39 each having an upward inclined surface 39 a by a connecting band 40. One contact portion 39 is formed on each of the upper and lower portions, and two contact portions 39 are formed on each of the left and right sides. The contact portion 39 has a trapezoidal cross section, and includes a front outward inclined surface 39a, a circumscribed surface 39b following the inclined surface 39a, a vertical rear end surface 39c continuing across the circumscribed surface 39b, and both side surfaces 39d, 39d and an inscribed surface 39e. The outward inclined surface 39a is an inclined surface on which the outer ring 42 rides when the connector housings 13 and 48 are fitted together. The circumscribed surface 39 b is curved and formed in a shape that follows the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 49 of the female connector housing 48. The rear end surface 39 c abuts on the front end surface 31 c of the spring packing 31. A connecting band 40 is connected to both side surfaces 39d and 39d. The inscribed surface 39 e is a curved surface that comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the inner housing 15.
[0032]
The connection band 40 is formed thinner than the contact portion 39 so that the inner ring 38 can be elastically deformed. For this reason, the abutting portion 39 is easily adhered to the outer peripheral surface of the inner housing 15. Moreover, it becomes easy to assemble the inner ring 38 to the male connector housing 13, and it is possible to prevent a dropout during the assembly.
[0033]
Similarly to the inner ring 38, the outer ring 42 is formed by connecting a plurality of abutting portions 43 having inclined surfaces 43 a by a connecting band 44. The contact portion 43 is formed at a position corresponding to the contact portion 39 of the inner ring 38. An inwardly inclined surface 43 a that contacts the outwardly inclined surface 39 a of the inner ring 38 is formed on the rear side of the contact part 43. An inscribed surface 43e is formed following the inwardly inclined surface 43a, and a vertical front end surface 43c is formed so as to intersect the inscribed surface 43e. The outer surface 43 b of the contact portion is curved and contacts the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 49 of the female connector housing 48.
[0034]
The outer ring 42 is preferably formed of a soft material that is more easily elastically deformed than the inner ring 38, such as synthetic rubber or elastomer resin, so that the outer ring 42 can easily get on the inclined surface 39a of the inner ring 38. When formed of such a material, even if there is an error in the inclination angle between the inclined surfaces 39a and 43a that are in contact with each other, the error is absorbed and the inner ring 38 and the outer ring 42 are in close contact with each other. In addition, a dimensional error in the radial direction is absorbed, and curved deformation follows the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 49 of the female connector housing 48, thereby improving the adhesion. The vibration absorption with respect to the vehicle body vibration while the vehicle is running is also improved.
[0035]
Thus, both the connector housings 13 and 48 are fitted, the inner wall 38 and the outer ring 42 are united with each other, the inner wall 38 and the outer ring 42 are brought into contact with the front end surface 43c of the outer ring 42. By partially overlapping both rings 38 and 43 in the radial direction (plate thickness direction), both connector housings 13 and 48 are in close contact with each other in the connector fitting direction and the fitting orthogonal direction without any gap. As a result, rattling of the two connector housings 13 and 48 in two directions perpendicular to each other is restricted, and wear of the male and female terminals 33 and 55 due to vibration is prevented.
[0036]
Further, since the rattling regulating member is constituted by the inner ring 38 and the outer ring 42, it is not necessary to make a design change such as a shape change to the female connector housing 48, and the female connector housing 48 is made common. It is also possible to reduce the cost of parts.
[0037]
The female connector 47 is directly attached to the device, and is fixed to the device (not shown) or is integrated with the flange portion 50, the terminal fixing portion 51 following the flange portion 50, and the terminal fixing portion 1. A female connector housing 48 is composed of a substantially rectangular annular peripheral wall 49. A female connector 47 is constituted by the male terminal 55 and the female connector housing 48 protruding into the connector fitting chamber 52 on the front side of the peripheral wall 49.
[0038]
A locking projection 54 that abuts on the locking surface 23 b of the locking arm 23 is formed on the upper wall portion of the peripheral wall 49. The locking projection 54 has an inclined surface 54a and a vertical locking surface 54b following the inclined surface 54a (FIG. 4). Since the vertical locking surface 54b abuts on the locking surface 23b of the locking arm 23, both the connector housings 13 and 48 are locked.
[0039]
A connector fitting chamber 52 exists inside the peripheral wall 49, and the inner housing 15 of the male connector housing 13 is fitted therein (FIG. 4). The inner wall 52 a of the connector fitting chamber 52 is in contact with the front end surface 43 c of the outer ring 42 that protrudes from the front end surface 15 a of the inner housing 15.
[0040]
Below, the assembly and fitting method of the vibration-proof connector 10 are demonstrated in order.
First, as shown in FIG. 2, the spring packing 31, the inner ring 38, and the outer ring 42 are assembled in order from the flange on the outer peripheral surface of the inner housing 15 of the male connector housing 13. The spring packing 31 may be fixed by two-color molding or the like when the male connector housing 13 is molded with resin. The inner ring 38 and the outer ring 42 are assembled so as to slide along the outer peripheral surface of the inner housing 15.
[0041]
Next, the spacer 45 (FIGS. 3 and 5) is assembled from the front end side of the inner housing 15 in which the female terminal 33 with electric wire is accommodated. The spacer 45 includes a horizontal wall portion 45a and a vertical wall portion 45b, and has a T shape. When the spacer 45 is assembled, the horizontal wall 45a enters the bending space 18 of the terminal locking lance 17, the bending of the terminal locking lance 17 is prevented, and the female terminal 33 is reliably prevented from coming off. ing. A locking hole 45c is formed in the vertical wall portion 45b, and engages with a protrusion protruding from the wall portion in the insertion hole 20 to prevent the spacer 45 from coming off.
[0042]
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when both the connector housings 13 and 48 are fitted, the inner housing 15 of the male connector housing 13 is fitted into the connector fitting chamber 52 of the female connector housing 48 and the female type. A peripheral wall 49 of the connector housing 48 enters a substantially annular gap 29 between the inner housing 15 and the hood 25. Then, the inner wall 52a of the connector fitting chamber 52 abuts against the front end face 43c of the outer ring 42, the outer ring 42 is pushed in the connector fitting direction, rides on the outward inclined surface 39a of the inner ring 38, and both rings 38 , 42 are united, and both male and female terminals 33, 55 are connected to each other. Both the connector housings 13 and 48 are maintained in the locked state by engaging the locking projections 54 of the female connector housing 48 with the locking arms 23 of the male connector housing 13.
[0043]
When both the connector housings 13 and 48 are locked, the inner ring 15 is elastically supported by the spring packing 31, and the front end side of the outer ring 42 rides on the inner ring 38 and overlaps in the radial direction. When the rear wall 52a of the connector fitting chamber 52 contacts the surface 43c, there is no gap in the connector fitting direction and the fitting orthogonal direction of both the connector housings 13, 48, and the two connector housings 13, 48 are caused by vibration. The backlash in the two orthogonal directions is restricted, and wear of both the male and female terminals 33 and 55 is prevented. By using a soft material that is easily elastically deformed for the spring packing 31 and the outer ring 42, the adhesion, vibration absorption, and waterproofing of the connector housings 13 and 48 are improved, and the wear of the male and female terminals 33 and 55 is reduced. Corrosion is effectively prevented.
[0044]
In the present embodiment, a device direct-attached connector is used as the female connector 47, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a normal wire harness connector can also be used. Further, an upward inclined surface 39a is formed on the inner ring 38, and an inward inclined surface 43a is formed on the outer ring 42. On the contrary, an inward inclined surface is formed on the inner ring 38, and An upward inclined surface may be formed.
[0045]
Moreover, it does not restrict | limit to forming a rattling regulating member in a ring shape, It can form in various shapes. Further, the inner ring 38 can be formed of a soft material without providing the spring packing 31 to provide a waterproof function. The inner ring 38 and the outer ring 42 are assembled to the inner housing 15 of the male connector housing 13, but may be provided inside the female connector housing 48. Both the inner ring 38 and the outer ring 42 are formed with inclined surfaces 39a and 43a that are in contact with each other, but an inclined surface may be formed on either one of them.
[0046]
