JP-A-6-111883

  However, in such a connector, as shown by reference numeral 8 in FIG. 3 of Patent Document 1, the spring piece for contact of the elastic terminal facing the surface contact terminal is removed from the outer contour of the housing of the male connector. Since the form which makes it protrude is employ | adopted, the following problems arise.

  For example, when an electronic device includes an operation unit and a display unit, the operation unit and the display unit are separated and detachable from each other. The connection is made by a connector. In this configuration, when the display unit is detached from the operation unit, an unintended external force is applied to the elastic terminal, and the durability of the elastic terminal and the connector is thus lowered.

  This problem also occurs when a plurality of parts included in an electronic device can be detached or divided and electrical connection between the parts is performed by a connector.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a connector that can prevent a decrease in durability.

In order to solve the above problem, the connector according to the present invention is
Including a first connection part including one or more first contacts, and a second connection part to which the first connection part is connected including a second contact corresponding to the first contact;
The second contact includes a contact that contacts the first contact;
The first connection part includes a protrusion protruding in a direction directed to the second connection part,
Said second connecting portion, seen including a biasing means for biasing the contact on the basis of pressing by said projection in a direction toward to the first contact,
The second contactor is constituted by an elastic member having one or more bent portions, a free end, and a fixed end,
In the connecting step of connecting the first connecting portion to the second connecting portion, the biasing means includes a force point pressed by the protrusion and a lever including an action point that presses and biases the free end. To be composed,
Including a plurality of pairs of the first contact and the second contact, including one insulator corresponding to the plurality of the second contacts;
The protrusion is formed by bending a part of the first contact, and the portion pressed by the protrusion of the urging means is formed by a partially spherical convex surface .

  According to the connector, the contact of the second contactor is in a state where the first connection portion is not connected to the second connection portion, that is, a connection in which the first connection portion is connected to the second connection portion. In a state where the process is not performed and the pressing by the protrusion is not input to the urging means, it is not allowed to protrude outside the plane that forms the outer contour of the casing that constitutes the second connection portion. it can. As a precondition, it is necessary to position the initial position of the contact inside the outer ring angle when the urging force is not applied to the contact from the urging means.

  Further, in the connecting step of connecting the first connecting portion to the second connecting portion, the biasing means attaches the contact in a direction approaching the first contact based on the pressing by the protrusion. Only when it is energized, it can be energized to the outside of the casing constituting the second connection part and toward the first contact.

  According to this, since the contact of the second contactor cannot be protruded outside the plane that forms the outer contour of the housing of the second connection part except in the connection step, the connection Outside the process, it is possible to prevent and protect other objects from contacting the contact.

  In the connection step, the contact is urged in a direction approaching the first contact based on the urging force of the urging means, but at the end of the connection step, the first The contact point is held at a plane position forming the outer contour by the restraining force of the contact.

  More specifically, for example, when the electronic device is a mobile phone, the display unit and the operation unit can be separated, and electrical connection is performed by the connector, the following advantageous effects can be obtained. it can.

  In other words, for example, when the display unit and the operation unit are stored in clothes or a bag in a state where the mobile phone is separated, there occurs a situation in which other items in the clothes or bag come into contact with the contact points without the intention of the user. Thus, it is possible to prevent the durability from deteriorating due to unintended deformation or fouling of the contact and thus the second contactor. Thereby, durability and electrical connectivity of the connector itself can be enhanced. Note that it is possible to appropriately select whether the first connection portion is disposed on one of the display portion and the operation portion and the second connection portion is disposed on the other.

  Further, the connector is applied even when the power source included in the electronic device is separable from the main body and is electrically connected by the connector, or when the electronic device is installed in a charger and charged. I can. Even in this case, the contact can be protected in a state where the main body and the power source are separated and in a state where the electronic device and the charger are separated.

Here, in the connector,
The second contactor is constituted by an elastic member having one or more bent portions, a free end, and a fixed end, thereby obtaining the following effects.

  According to this, the contact included in the second contact can be relatively easily configured by the bent portion. Further, the bent portion other than the portion constituting the contact has a function of urging the contact in a direction away from the first contact, so that when the pressing by the protrusion is not input, The housing can be quickly accommodated inside the plane forming the outer contour of the housing. In addition, the second contact can be formed integrally with the one elastic member.

  The urging means may be any means as long as it can convert the pressing by the protrusion into a force that urges the free end in the approaching direction. For example, a push lock releasing mechanism that is unlocked by pressing the protruding portion and protrudes by the spring action in the approaching direction and presses the free end may be used, or a simpler mechanism as described below An insulator may be used.

That is, in the connector,
In the connecting step of connecting the first connecting portion to the second connecting portion, the biasing means includes a force point pressed by the protrusion and a lever including an action point that presses and biases the free end. By being configured, the following effects can be obtained.

  According to this, the biasing means can be configured relatively easily without a spring or engagement means. In addition, the fulcrum of the said insulator is rotatably supported by the appropriate location inside the housing | casing which said 2nd connection part contains, for example.

  Further, if the second contactor is constituted by an elastic member having the bent portion, and the urging means is constituted by the lever, the bent portion has an action point of the lever as a fulcrum. It will have the form bent in the direction of inclusion as seen from the parallel fulcrum direction.

  That is, when the free end of the second contactor is urged in the direction approaching the first contactor by the action point of the lever, the bent portion is a link that is displaced in the direction in which the bending angle is opened. By configuring, the contact point of the second contactor can be displaced in the direction from the fulcrum of the lever toward the action point by the link action of the free end and the contact point.

  Based on this, in the connecting step, the contact of the second contact can be slid in the sliding contact direction perpendicular to the surface contact direction coinciding with the approaching direction with respect to the first contact. Thereby, both the surface of said 1st contact and the surface of the said contact of said 2nd contact can be wiped. By this wiping, foreign matters such as rust, oxide film, flux, dust and moisture on the surface can be removed, the electrical connection of the connector can be made more reliable, and the contact reliability can be improved. .

  Furthermore, since the amount of displacement of the contact when realizing the wiping can be adjusted as appropriate according to the mutual positional relationship between the protrusion and the insulator and the insulator ratio of the insulator, the degree of freedom in design can be increased. it can.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the durability of the second contactor from being lowered, and thus the durability of the entire connector can be improved.

  Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 and 2 are schematic perspective views showing an embodiment of the connector 1 according to the present invention as viewed from a direction inclined with respect to the approach direction T, the sliding contact direction S, and the fulcrum direction F. FIG. FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the connector 1 shown in FIG. 1 viewed from the back side.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the connector 1 includes a plug 3 including four contacts 2 and a jack 5 including contacts 4 corresponding to the contacts 2. The jack 5 is configured so that the plug 3 can be connected thereto.

  The contact 4 includes a contact 4 a that contacts the contact 2, and the plug 3 includes an insulator 6 that is formed by insert molding synthetic resin in a state where the four contacts 2 are arranged in parallel in the fulcrum direction F. The insulator 6 has a function of fixing the fixed ends 4 e of the four contacts 4. A boss 6a oriented toward the opposite side of the approaching direction T is formed at the opposite end of the insulator 6 in the sliding contact direction S. The boss 6 a constitutes a protrusion that protrudes in a direction directed to the jack 5.

  The jack 5 includes a hinge 7 that urges the contact 4 a toward the first contact 2 based on the pressing by the protrusion 6. As shown in FIG. 2, the hinge 7 has a force point 7 a pressed by the boss 6 a and an action point 7 b that presses and urges the free end 4 d of the contact 4 in the connection step of connecting the plug 3 to the jack 5. It is comprised with the insulator formed with the insulating member containing.

  Here, one hinge 7 is provided for the four contact points 4a and the four free ends 4d, and the length in the fulcrum direction F is a length that can contact the entire free ends 4d of the four parallel contacts 4. Yes. A cylindrical fulcrum 7c protruding in the fulcrum direction F is formed at an intermediate portion in the sliding contact direction S of the hinge 7, and is rotatably supported by a guide 8a formed on the insulator 8. The insulator 8 is fixed to, for example, an operation unit of a mobile phone by a peg 9 and a screw (not shown).

  FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the connector 1 shown in FIG. 1 in a cross section perpendicular to the fulcrum direction F and including the contact 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the contact 4 has one or more bent portions 4a, 4b, 4c, a free end 4d, and a fixed end 4e. The contact 4 is configured by appropriately pressing and bending a single bar-like elastic member having conductivity and elasticity such as a copper alloy.

  According to the connector 1 of the first embodiment described above, the following operational effects can be obtained. Hereinafter, the function and effect of the connector 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the connection mode and operational effects of the connector 1 of the first embodiment in the same cross section as in FIG. 3 and in the initial and final states of the connection process.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the state where the contact 4 a of the contact 4 is not connected to the plug 5, the connection process of connecting the plug 3 to the contact 4 is not performed, and the pressing by the boss 6 a is the force point of the hinge 7. The state not input to 7a is selected. In this case, it is possible not to project outside the flat surface 8b forming the outer contour of the insulator 8 constituting the jack 5, that is, in the approaching direction T side.

  On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), in the initial state where the connection process for connecting the plug 3 to the jack 5 is started, the hinge 7 is contacted based on the pressing of the force point 7a by the boss 6a. When 4a is urged in the direction approaching the contact 2, the hinge 7 rotates around the fulcrum 7c, that is, the fulcrum, around the fulcrum direction F and counterclockwise, and the connecting process proceeds to increase the pressing stroke. When it increases, the state shifts to the state shown in FIG. Thus, only when the force point 7a is pressed by the boss 6a, it is biased toward the outside of the plane 8b forming the outer contour of the insulator 8 constituting the jack 5 and toward the contact 2. can do.

  As described above, the contact 4a of the contact 4 can be prevented from projecting outside the plane 8b that forms the outer contour of the insulator 8 of the jack 5 except in the connection step. It is possible to protect the contacts 4a by preventing unintentional contact with other objects including clothes and human hands.

  More specifically, for example, an electronic device to which the connector 1 is applied is a mobile phone, and a display unit including a TFT liquid crystal display or an organic EL display can be separated from an operation unit including a key. In performing the connection, the following advantageous effects can be obtained.

  That is, for example, when the display unit and the operation unit are stored in clothes or a bag in a state in which the display unit is separated from the operation unit in a mobile phone, the contact 4a provided in the jack 5 of the connector 1 Occurrence of a situation where an object comes into contact without the intention of the user can be prevented by preventing the contact point 4a from protruding from the outer contour.

  As a result, the external force generated by the contact acts on the contact point 4a, thereby preventing the contact point 4a and hence the contact 4 from being unintentionally deformed or fouled, thereby reducing the durability. In addition, by preventing the external force from acting on the contact 4, the external force transmitted from the contact 4 to the insulator 8 can be cut off, and the durability and electrical connectivity of the connector 1 itself can be improved. it can.

  Further, by preventing contact of the user's hand or clothes with the contact 4, it is possible to prevent static electricity from being applied to the contact 4, whereby the durability of the electronic device to which the connector 1, and thus the connector 1 is applied, can be prevented. And reliability can be improved.

  In addition, the present invention can be implemented even when a power source such as a battery included in the electronic device is separable from the main body and is electrically connected by the connector 1 or when the electronic device is installed in a charger and charged. A connector 1 as shown in Example 1 can be applied. Even in this case, the contact 4a and the contact 4 of the jack 5 included in the connector 1 can be protected in a state in which the main body and the power source are separated, and in a state in which the electronic device and the charger are separated.

  In addition, in the connector 1 according to the first embodiment, the contact 4 is formed of an elastic member having one or more bent portions, a free end 4d, and a fixed end 4e. Therefore, it can be configured relatively easily. Further, the bent portions 4 b and 4 c have a function of urging the contact 4 a in a direction away from the contact 2 when the free end 4 d is urged in the approach direction T by the action point 7 b of the hinge 7. For this reason, when the pressure by the boss 6 a is not input to the force point 7 a of the hinge 7, the contact 4 a can be quickly stored inside the plane 8 b that forms the outer contour of the insulator 8. Furthermore, the contact 4 can be integrally formed relatively easily by bending with one elastic member.

  Further, in the connector 1 according to the first embodiment, the hinge 7 as the biasing means is constituted by a lever, so that the biasing means may be constituted by a single insulating member having no spring or engagement means. And a relatively easy configuration.

  Furthermore, if the contact 4 is formed of an elastic member having bent portions 4b and 4c and the biasing means is formed of a hinge 7, the bent portions 4b and 4c are hinges 7 as shown in FIG. The action point 7b is bent in a direction including the fulcrum direction F parallel to the fulcrum 7c.

  That is, when the free end 4d of the contact 4 is biased in the direction approaching the contact 2 by the action point 7b of the hinge 7, the bent portions 4b and 4c form a link that is displaced in the direction in which the bent angle is opened. That is, the free end 4d and the contact 4a of the contact 4 are linked in a direction from the fulcrum 7c of the hinge 7 to the action point 7b, that is, in a direction from left to right in the plane 8b in FIG. The contact 4a can be displaced.

  Based on the displacement of the contact 4a to the right in FIG. 4, in the connecting step, the contact 4a of the contact 4 is slid with respect to the contact 2 in the sliding contact direction S perpendicular to the surface contact direction coincident with the approach direction T. Can be made. By this sliding, both the surface of the contact 2 and the surface of the contact 4a of the contact 4 can be wiped. By this wiping, foreign matters such as rust, oxide film, flux, dust and moisture on the surface can be removed, the electrical connection of the connector 1 can be made more reliable, and the contact reliability can be enhanced.

  In addition, regarding the amount of displacement of the contact point 4a in realizing surface wiping, the protrusion amount of the boss 6a from the insulator 6, the mutual positional relationship between the boss 6a and the fulcrum 7c of the hinge 7, and the lever ratio of the hinge 7 Therefore, the degree of freedom of design and the degree of freedom of design change can be increased.

  In addition, since the force in the direction approaching the contact 2 is urged against the four contacts 4 by one hinge 7 having a long length in the fulcrum direction F, the number of movable parts is reduced, The connector 1 can be configured at a lower cost.

  Further, in the conventional connector disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the elastic terminal is slid in the sliding contact direction with respect to the surface contact terminal, the entire housing of the male connector with respect to the female connector is connected to the inclined groove of the cam groove. In order to move based on the guide action with respect to the engaging pin, in the housing on the female connector side, a structure that absorbs movement in the sliding contact direction of the male connector housing is required, resulting in a complicated structure and an increase in external dimensions, There was a problem of incurring a cost increase.

  On the other hand, in the connector 1 of the first embodiment, the plug 3 or the jack 5 corresponding to the housing does not need to be moved in the sliding contact direction S when performing the sliding contact operation, that is, wiping. And the structure which absorbs the mutual movement in the sliding contact direction S of the jack 5 becomes unnecessary, it can prevent the complication of a structure and the increase in an external dimension, and can prevent a cost increase.

  In addition, in the conventional connector, when the male connector housing is moved in the sliding direction S while being inserted in the approach direction T with respect to the female connector housing, a cam groove is provided in the male connector housing, It is necessary to provide a mating pin in the housing of the female connector. In particular, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the housing of the male connector in order to ensure the strength in the portion where the cam groove is provided, which also increases the cost. was there.

  On the other hand, in the connector 1 of the first embodiment, since it is not necessary to provide a cam groove in the insulator 6 and the insulator 8 when performing the sliding contact operation, the strength of the insulator 6 and the insulator 8 is increased. The deterioration can be prevented and the durability can be improved. Further, in the connector 1 of the first embodiment, it is possible to prevent the insulator 6 and the insulator 8 from being thickened in consideration of strength reduction, and to prevent an increase in cost. .

  In the connector 1 of the first embodiment described above, the intermediate portion and the fulcrum 7c in the sliding contact direction S between the force point 7a and the action point 7b of the hinge 7 are exposed for convenience of description of the structure and function. A cover can also be provided for the purpose of enhancing the aesthetic appearance, enhancing the holding performance of the hinge 7, and avoiding the exposure of the movable part to enhance the durability. 5 and 6 are schematic perspective views showing a form in which a cover is added to the jack 5 of the connector 1 shown in FIG.

  In the jack 5 shown in FIG. 5, the cover 10 which covers the intermediate part in the sliding contact direction S other than the force point 7a and the action point 7b of the hinge 7 is provided. A notch portion 10 a that penetrates in the approach direction T and extends in the fulcrum direction F is provided at the opposite end portion of the cover 10 in the sliding contact direction S, and is opposite to the sliding contact direction S of the force point 7 a of the hinge 7. A protruding portion 7aa having the same protruding amount as the thickness of the cover 10 is provided on the end portion in the approaching direction T side. As shown in FIG. 6, corners 8 c that support the four corners of the cover 10 are provided at the four corners of the insulator 8.

  The direction of pressing the force point 7a of the hinge 7 by the boss 6a may be a direction perpendicular to the approach direction T in addition to the approach direction T. In the latter, the protrusion may be formed by bending a part of the contact 2, and the force point 7a that is a portion pressed by the protrusion of the urging means, that is, the hinge 7, may be formed by a partially spherical convex surface. This is effective in effectively transmitting the pressing force from the protrusion to the urging means. The second embodiment will be described below.

  7 to 9 are schematic perspective views showing other embodiments of the connector according to the present invention. FIG. 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the connector shown in FIG. Since the configuration other than the boss is the same as that shown in the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a portion of the contact 2 located on the approaching direction T side of the force point 7a of the hinge 7 is bent in a U shape so as to protrude in the direction opposite to the approaching direction T, and the bent portion 2a is formed. The insulator 6 is formed by insert molding in a state where four contacts 2 including the bent portion 2a are arranged in parallel in the fulcrum direction F.

  Along with this, as shown in FIG. 8, the hinge 7 is also a partially spherical convex surface at four positions located at equal intervals in the fulcrum direction F facing the bent portion 2 a on the surface constituting the force point 7 a. A portion 7ab is provided.

  After the hinge 7 configured in this way is installed on the insulator 8, as shown in FIG. 9, a cover 10 is provided in the same manner as that shown in FIG. The convex surface portion 7ab protrudes from the portion 10a. In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the connector 1 in the plane perpendicular to the fulcrum direction F in FIG. 9 and including the convex surface portion 7ab has the form shown in FIG.

  In the connector 1 thus configured, for example, the display unit and the operation unit of the mobile phone are separately fitted (not shown) in a direction perpendicular to the plane direction parallel to the plane formed by the display unit and the plane formed by the operation unit. It is not the form shown in Example 1 fitted by the structure, but a form having a fitting structure that is fitted by sliding in a direction parallel to the plane direction or fitted by being rotated in the plane. In some cases, the following advantageous effects can be obtained.

  That is, since the bent portion 2a constituting the protrusion approaches the fulcrum direction F or the opposite direction with respect to the convex surface portion 7ab, the contact surface between the bent portion 2a and the convex surface portion 7ab is in the fulcrum direction F. By this inclined surface, the force in the fulcrum direction F is converted into a pressing force directed in the direction opposite to the approach direction T, and this pressing force is input to the convex surface portion 7ab and the force point 7a. In 7 b, the force toward the approach direction T is transmitted to the free end 4 d of the contact 4.

  Accordingly, even when the display unit and the operation unit of the mobile phone are slid and fitted in a direction parallel to the plane direction, or are rotated and fitted in the plane, the contact by the hinge 7 The approaching displacement and the sliding displacement of the contact 4a to the contact 2 and the separation displacement of the contact 4a by the bent portions 4b and 4c of the contact 4 can be executed more smoothly.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above, one hinge 7 is provided for the four contacts 4 and is configured to be advantageous mainly in reducing the number of parts. A hinge 7 can also be provided. The third embodiment will be described below.

  FIG. 11 is a schematic perspective view showing another embodiment of the connector according to the present invention. Since the configuration other than the point in which the hinge 7 is provided corresponding to each of the contacts 4 is the same as that shown in the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted. Omit.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the connector 1 of the third embodiment has a hinge 7 corresponding to the four contacts 2 and has a shorter length in the fulcrum direction F than the hinge 7 shown in the first embodiment. Four contacts 4 are arranged in parallel in the direction of the fulcrum so as to match the length in the fulcrum direction F of the contact 2. That is, the connector 1 includes a plurality of pairs of contacts 2 and 4, includes four insulators constituting the hinge 7 corresponding to the four contacts 4, and four bosses 6 a independently corresponding to the four hinges 7. Including.

  According to this, the connector 1 can be provided with an additional function based on a simple change as described below. First, although detailed illustration is omitted, in the connector 1, the protruding length in the approaching direction T of the boss 6 a that presses the hinge 7 is set to an individual length for each combination of the contact 2 and the contact 4.

  According to this, when connecting the plug 3 to the jack 5, the contact timing between the contact 2 and the contact 4 can be made different between the respective combinations.

  This can be replaced in the connector 1 by setting the lever ratio of the lever 7 constituting the lever, that is, the lever ratio, to an individual ratio for each combination of the contact 2 and the contact 4.

  Also by this, when connecting the plug 3 to the jack 5, the contact timing between the contact 2 and the contact 4 can be made different between the combinations.

  As described above, by making the timing of contact between the plurality of pairs of contacts 2 and the contacts 4 different from each other between any two of the combinations of the plurality of pairs, for example, When the display unit is configured to be separable, when the display unit is mounted on the operation unit, user-specific information or information specific to each store is set by a signal based on a combination of timings, and the signal is set in the connection step. Input can be made to an electronic device.

  In the connector 1, the length of the boss 6 a corresponding to the predetermined combination of the contact 2 and the contact 4 can be set so as not to contact the force point 7 a of the hinge 7. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the contact 2 and the contact 4 in a predetermined combination from contacting each other in the connection process.

  That is, for example, a predetermined combination of a plurality of pairs of contacts 2 and contacts 4 included in the connector 1 that connects the display unit and the operation unit of the mobile phone must not be brought into contact with a certain model or grade. When there is a certain or a predetermined combination itself, it can be dealt with only by setting the length of the corresponding boss 6 a so as not to contact the force point 7 a of the hinge 7. Thereby, the connector 1 can be used in common between a certain model or grade and other different models or grades, and the versatility of the connector 1 can be improved.

  Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and substitutions are made to the above-described embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. be able to.

  The present invention relates to a connector that can prevent deterioration in durability, and a desired effect can be obtained by relatively minor changes. Therefore, the present invention relates to electronic devices for home use, office use, and industrial use. It is useful when applied to equipment.
