図1に示すように、本発明のコネクタ1は、第1のコネクタ2、第2のコネクタ3より構成されている。
第1のコネクタ2は、一端部を、第1のインサート部材4を挿入するための開口とし、他端部を、ピン6を先端に有する複数のケーブル7を内部に束ねた被覆ケーブル14に接続された形状としている。
第2のコネクタ3は、一端部を、第2のインサート部材5を挿入するための開口とし、他端部を、被覆ケーブル14を保持した形状としている。
また、第1のコネクタ2、第2のコネクタ3とも、樹脂によって形成されており、特に、被覆ケーブル14とコネクタの接続口9付近は、一体成型によって、図1のように保護されている。
As shown in FIG. 1, the connector 1 of the present invention includes a first connector 2 and a second connector 3.
The first connector 2 has one end as an opening for inserting the first insert member 4 and the other end connected to a covered cable 14 in which a plurality of cables 7 having pins 6 at their ends are bundled inside. The shape is made.
The second connector 3 has a shape in which one end is an opening for inserting the second insert member 5 and the other end is a shape that holds the covered cable 14.
Further, both the first connector 2 and the second connector 3 are made of resin, and in particular, the vicinity of the connection cable 14 and the connection port 9 of the connector is protected by integral molding as shown in FIG.
第1のコネクタ2に収容される第1のインサート部材4は、内部に、複数のケーブルの先端のピン6を挿通させてなり、第1のインサート部材4の、第2のコネクタ3に収容される側の端部に円環状の鍔部10を有し、且つ該鍔部10には、図4に示すように、第1の固定部材15の端面側に向かって突出した、例えば略三角形状の凸部11を設けている。この鍔部10は、第1のコネクタ2と第2のコネクタ3とを結合したときには、その凸部11が第1の固定部材15の端面に押しつけられる状態となる。
第2のコネクタ3に収容される第2のインサート部材5は、前記第1のインサート部材4の複数のピン6を嵌合する嵌合穴(ソケット)8を有する。
また、第1のインサート部材4、第2のインサート部材5とも、樹脂によってインサート成型されている。
The first insert member 4 accommodated in the first connector 2 has a pin 6 at the tip of a plurality of cables inserted therein, and is accommodated in the second connector 3 of the first insert member 4. 4 has an annular flange 10 at its end, and the flange 10 protrudes toward the end face of the first fixing member 15 as shown in FIG. The convex part 11 is provided. When the first connector 2 and the second connector 3 are coupled to each other, the flange 10 is in a state where the convex portion 11 is pressed against the end surface of the first fixing member 15.
The second insert member 5 accommodated in the second connector 3 has a fitting hole (socket) 8 into which the plurality of pins 6 of the first insert member 4 are fitted.
Both the first insert member 4 and the second insert member 5 are insert-molded with resin.
第1の固定部材15は、第1のインサート部材4に外嵌するように内部に空間15aを有してなり、外部には、第2の固定部材16と螺合するようにねじ山17がきられている。また、第1の固定部材15は、図4のように、前記第1のインサート部材の、第2のコネクタに収容される側の端部に、第1のインサート部材4の鍔部10の凸部11が嵌り落ちるように(嵌合するように)複数の凹部12を有している。 The first fixing member 15 has a space 15 a inside so as to be externally fitted to the first insert member 4, and a thread 17 is provided on the outside so as to be screwed with the second fixing member 16. It has been. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the first fixing member 15 has a convex portion of the flange portion 10 of the first insert member 4 at the end of the first insert member that is accommodated in the second connector. A plurality of recesses 12 are provided so that the portion 11 fits (fits).
凹部12は、図4のように、凹部の角度を左右均等にせずに、例えばねじの締め方向に従って、一片の角度を80度等の浅い角度、緩み方向である他片を60度等の急な角度とすることによって、締めるときは角度が浅いため軽い力で締めることができ、緩もうとするときには角度が急なため緩みにくくなる。
また、第1のインサート部材4の凸部11の高さを凹部12の深さよりも大きくすることによって、凸部11先端が摩耗した場合にも大きくした分が摩耗するまで緩み止めの効果がなくならず、寿命が延びる。
As shown in FIG. 4, the recess 12 does not make the recess angle equal to the left and right, but according to, for example, the screw tightening direction, the angle of one piece is a shallow angle such as 80 degrees, and the other piece that is the loosening direction is abruptly 60 degrees. By making the angle small, the angle is shallow when tightening, so that it can be tightened with a light force, and when trying to loosen, the angle is steep and it is difficult to loosen.
Further, by making the height of the convex portion 11 of the first insert member 4 larger than the depth of the concave portion 12, even when the tip of the convex portion 11 is worn, there is no effect of preventing the loosening until the larger portion is worn. In other words, the service life is extended.
第2の固定部材16は、第2のインサート部材5に外嵌するように内部に空間16aを有してなり、さらに、該内部には、第1の固定部材15のねじ山17に螺合するように内ねじ溝18が形成されている。 The second fixing member 16 has a space 16a inside so as to be fitted on the second insert member 5, and is screwed into the thread 17 of the first fixing member 15 inside. Thus, an internal thread groove 18 is formed.
第1のインサート部材4の鍔部10に設けた凸部11、第1の固定部材15の凹部12の数は、凹凸が同時に嵌合するように配置すればよく、第1の固定部材15を第2の固定部材16に締め付けるときに凸部11、凹部12間に生じる負荷を減らすためになるべく数は増やした方がよい。 The number of the convex portions 11 provided on the flange portion 10 of the first insert member 4 and the number of the concave portions 12 of the first fixing member 15 may be arranged so that the concave and convex portions are simultaneously fitted. It is better to increase the number as much as possible in order to reduce the load generated between the convex portion 11 and the concave portion 12 when tightening to the second fixing member 16.
凸部11と凹部12を、第1のインサート部材4の鍔部10と、第1の固定部材15に設けるのみでなく、図5のように第2の固定部材16と第2のインサート部材5の嵌合して接触する部分に、凸部11と凹部12を設けることにより、より一層振動によるねじの緩みを防止し、シールド性および防水性の低下を防止することができる。 The protrusion 11 and the recess 12 are not only provided on the flange 10 and the first fixing member 15 of the first insert member 4, but also the second fixing member 16 and the second insert member 5 as shown in FIG. By providing the convex part 11 and the concave part 12 in the part that is fitted and contacted, it is possible to further prevent the screws from loosening due to vibrations and to prevent the shielding property and the waterproofing from being lowered.
本発明における緩み止め機構は、コネクタの形態・材質に関わらず使用することができる。例えば、図6に示すような別の形態のコネクタにおいても、本発明の緩み止め機構を用いることができる。
固定部材19とインサート部材20の嵌合して接触する部分に、凸部11と凹部12を設けることにより、図1乃至図5における実施例と同様に、振動によるねじの緩みを防止するとともに、シールド性および防水性の低下を防止することができる。
The locking mechanism according to the present invention can be used regardless of the form and material of the connector. For example, the locking mechanism of the present invention can also be used in another form of connector as shown in FIG.
By providing the convex portion 11 and the concave portion 12 in the portion where the fixing member 19 and the insert member 20 are fitted and in contact with each other, as in the embodiment in FIGS. A decrease in shielding properties and waterproofness can be prevented.
第1のコネクタ2と第2のコネクタ3とを結合するにあたっては、まず、第1のインサート部材4のピン6を第2のインサート部材5の所定の嵌合穴8に差し込み、次いで第1の固定部材15のねじ山17に対して第2の固定部材16の内ネジ溝18を第2の固定部材16および/または第1の固定部材15を数回回すことにより螺合し締め付け、この際、前述したように第1のインサート部材4の鍔部10の凸部11が第1の固定部材15の凹部12に嵌合する。 In connecting the first connector 2 and the second connector 3, first, the pin 6 of the first insert member 4 is inserted into the predetermined fitting hole 8 of the second insert member 5, and then the first The inner thread groove 18 of the second fixing member 16 is screwed into the screw thread 17 of the fixing member 15 by turning the second fixing member 16 and / or the first fixing member 15 several times. As described above, the convex portion 11 of the flange portion 10 of the first insert member 4 is fitted into the concave portion 12 of the first fixing member 15.
なお、図1に示すように、第1のインサート部材4の鍔部10と第2のインサート部材5の鍔部5aとの間には、Oリング13が設けられていて、締め付け時に防水のためのOリング13をコネクタ先端で圧縮するが、Oリング13の弾性力により、凹部12の深さの分だけOリング13の圧縮が戻ってしまうため、凹部12の深さは圧縮が戻っても防水性が保てる寸法にする。 As shown in FIG. 1, an O-ring 13 is provided between the flange portion 10 of the first insert member 4 and the flange portion 5a of the second insert member 5, and is waterproof when tightened. The O-ring 13 is compressed by the tip of the connector. However, the elastic force of the O-ring 13 returns the compression of the O-ring 13 by the depth of the recess 12, so that the depth of the recess 12 can be reduced even after the compression is restored. Make the dimensions waterproof.
以上の構成により、ねじ式コネクタにおいて、第1のコネクタ2と第2のコネクタ3の
接続部分に、凹凸部を設けることにより、振動によるねじの緩みを防止し、シールド性および防水性の低下を防止することができる。
With the above configuration, in the screw connector, by providing an uneven portion at the connection portion between the first connector 2 and the second connector 3, the screw is prevented from loosening due to vibration, and the shielding performance and waterproofness are reduced. Can be prevented.
