The outer cylinder part 48 protrudes outward from the insertion hole 46 in the second direction. In the present embodiment, the second direction is a direction orthogonal to the first direction, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the second direction may be a direction oblique to the first direction. . That is, the second direction may be a direction that intersects the first direction.

  The fitting portion 10 is attached to the end portion 40 of the cable housing 30, and is therefore located in the first direction (on the + Z side) when viewed from the end space 50. A part of the cable 300 connected to the fitting portion 10 is housed in the end space 50, the connection space 52, and the housing space 54, and the cable 300 passes through the insertion hole 46 and the outer cylinder portion 48 in the second direction. Along the outer side of the cable housing 30. The inner diameter of the insertion hole 46 according to the present embodiment is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the cable 300. That is, the insertion hole 46 of the present embodiment is configured so that the cable 300 can be lightly press-fitted.

  As understood from FIG. 3 in particular, in the present embodiment, the fitting portion 10 is formed between the two insertion holes 46 in the third direction (+ Y direction) orthogonal to both the first direction and the second direction. Is located. The two cables 300 inserted into the two insertion holes 46 are collectively connected to the fitting portion 10 provided with only one cable.

The spring 20 is provided to return the operation unit 18 clockwise when the operation unit 18 is rotated counterclockwise in accordance with the latter arrow.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the cable housing 30 according to the present embodiment includes a main portion 70 and a lid portion 80. The main part 70 is open in the reverse direction (-Z direction) of the first direction, and the lid part 80 closes the opening. As can be understood from FIGS. 3 and 4, the lid 80 has a substantially flat plate shape, and therefore the end space 50, the connection space 52, and the accommodation space 54 are substantially formed by the shape of the main portion 70. It has been decided. As can be understood from FIG. 3, the lid 80 is attached to the main portion 70 using a fixing screw 98. However, since the shape of the lid portion 80 is simple, the lid portion 80 can be attached to the main portion 70 by means other than the fixing screw 98.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the fitting portion 10 is attached to the main portion 70, and the insertion hole 46 and the outer cylinder portion 48 are also formed in the main portion 70.

  Here, in consideration of the stress applied to the connecting portion between the internal electric wire 302 and the contact 12 after the assembly of the connector 100, the distance in the first direction from the end surface 16 facing the end space 50 of the holding member 14 to the connecting portion 42. Is preferably equal to or larger than the diameter of the internal electric wire 302. In the present embodiment, the contact 12 is positioned in the first direction (that is, on the + Z side) when viewed from the end surface 16, but the contact 12 protrudes into the end space 50 beyond the end surface 16. In this case, instead of the distance in the first direction from the end face 16 of the holding member 14 to the connection portion 42, the distance in the first direction from the contact 12 to the connection portion 42 should be compared with the diameter of the internal electric wire 302. is there. In such a case, it is preferable that the distance in the first direction from the contact 12 to the connection portion 42 is equal to or greater than the diameter of the internal electric wire 302.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the main portion 70 has a bottom wall 60, a first side wall 62, two second side walls 64, two third side walls 66, and a fourth side wall 68. . The first side wall 62 is a side wall that is closest to the fitting portion 10 in the second direction (+ X direction), and extends mainly in the YZ plane in the present embodiment. In other words, the first side wall 62 extends from the connection portion 42 along the first direction (+ Z direction) (see FIG. 4). The second side wall 64 extends from the first side wall 62 so as to move away from the fitting portion 10 along a direction oblique to the second direction. The third side wall 66 extends from the second side wall 64 in the second direction. The third side wall 66 of the present embodiment extends mainly in the XZ plane. As understood from this, the second side wall 64 of the present embodiment connects the first side wall 62 and the third side wall 66 and crosses both the XY plane and the XZ plane. The fourth side wall 68 connects the third side walls 66 to each other. As understood from FIG. 4, the insertion hole 46 is formed in the fourth side wall 68, and the outer cylinder portion 48 projects from the fourth side wall 68 in the second direction. The bottom wall 60 closes the first direction side end (+ Z side end) of the accommodation space 54 surrounded by the first side wall 62 to the fourth side wall 68. As shown in FIG. 2, since the second side wall 64 extends from the first side wall 62 along the direction oblique to the second direction, there is an operation of the fitting unit 10 in the vicinity of the fitting unit 10. A sufficient operation space 56 is formed so as to facilitate the operation when the part 18 is rotated.

  As is clear from FIG. 4, the bottom wall 60 of the housing portion 44 is located away from the connection portion 42 and the insertion hole 46 in the first direction (+ Z direction). In other words, the accommodating portion 44 has a shape that swells in the first direction from the connecting portion 42 or the insertion hole 46. For this reason, the cable housing 30 according to the present embodiment can obtain a sufficiently large accommodation space 54.

  Here, considering the stress applied to the internal electric wire 302 that is bent when the internal electric wire 302 is accommodated in the accommodating space 54, the shortest distance from the insertion hole 46 to the bottom wall 60 in the first direction is that of the insertion hole 46. It is preferably at least half of the inner diameter (that is, slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the cable 300), and more preferably at least equal to the inner diameter of the insertion hole 46.

  Referring to FIG. 13, the bottom wall 60 of the accommodating portion 44 of the present embodiment is located considerably on the + Z side. Specifically, the illustrated bottom wall 60 is in contact with the mounting surface 402 of the object 400 on which the mounted portion 220 of the mating connector 200 is mounted. That is, in the connector assembly formed by fitting the connector 100 and the mating connector 200, the bottom wall 60 is in contact with the object 400. For this reason, even if the force which goes to a 1st direction (+ Z direction) or its reverse direction (-Z direction) is applied with respect to the cable 300, since the bottom wall 60 is contacting the target object 400, it is a fitting part. Excessive stress can be avoided at the boundary between 10 and the end 40. The present invention is not limited to this, but when the same kind of effect is desired, the bottom wall 60 and the mounting surface 402 of the object 400 are mounted when the connector assembly is attached and fixed to the object 400. Is preferably within 1 mm. That is, as understood from FIGS. 12 and 13, the distance between the mounted portion 220 and the bottom wall 60 is preferably within 1 mm in the first direction.

  Referring to FIG. 3, a groove 72 for receiving the seal member 90 is further formed in the main portion 70. As can be understood from having the seal member 90, the connector 100 according to the present embodiment also has a waterproof function. Therefore, for example, as understood from FIG. 4, O-rings are also attached around the holding member 14 and around the end portion 40.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the groove 72 extends in a virtual plane (XY plane) orthogonal to the first direction (+ Z direction). Therefore, the shape of the seal member 90 is simple as a loop formed of an elastic body having a single cross section. When the sealing member 90 is partially received in the groove 72 and the opening of the main portion 70 is blocked by the lid portion 80, the sealing member 90 is pressed by the lid portion 80 to seal between the main portion 70 and the lid portion 80. To do. Since the seal member 90 has a simple shape, for example, even if the relative positional relationship between the main portion 70 and the lid portion 80 is slightly deviated due to manufacturing variations or the like, it is possible to reliably seal between the two. That is, according to the present embodiment, a stable sealing effect can be obtained. In order to obtain the shape of the seal member 90 and a stable sealing effect, the virtual plane may not be orthogonal to the first direction. That is, the groove 72 may extend in a virtual plane that is oblique to the first direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3, two first cable holding portions 74 located in the accommodation space 54 are formed in the main portion 70. The first cable holding portions 74 correspond to the insertion holes 46, respectively. As shown in FIG. 4, a second cable holding portion 84 is formed in the lid portion 80 so as to correspond to the first cable holding portion 74. As shown in FIG. 4, when the lid portion 80 is combined with the main portion 70, the jacket 306 of the cable 300 is sandwiched between the first cable holding portion 74 and the second cable holding portion 84, thereby The cable 300 is held by the cable housing 30. That is, the clamp position of the cable 300 is determined by the first cable holding portion 74 and the second cable holding portion 84.

  Referring to FIG. 4, a bushing receiving portion 76 that receives the bushing 92 is formed in the outer cylinder portion 48. As is apparent from the positional relationship among the outer cylinder portion 48, the insertion hole 46, and the first cable holding portion 74, the insertion hole 46 is located between the bushing receiving portion 76 and the first cable holding portion 74. A gland nut 94 is attached to the outside of the outer cylinder portion 48. Specifically, a screw groove (not shown) is cut on the outer periphery of the outer cylinder portion 48, and similarly, a screw groove (not shown) is also cut on the inner periphery of the ground nut 94. When the ground nut 94 is assembled to the outside of the outer cylinder portion 48 with the bushing 92 received in the bushing receiving portion 76, the bushing 92 is held by the outer cylinder portion 48 and the ground nut 94.

  Hereinafter, the assembly process of the connector 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 6, the two cables 300 are passed through the ground nut 94 and the bushing 92, and then passed from the outer cylinder portion 48 into the main portion 70. At this time, as understood from FIG. 7, the cable 300 passes through the insertion hole 46.

  Next, the outer sheath 306 of the cable 300 is peeled off by a predetermined length to expose the internal electric wire 302. Furthermore, the conducting wire 304 is exposed at the tip of the internal electric wire 302, and the conducting wire 304 and the contact 12 are connected.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, the contact 12 and the internal electric wire 302 are passed through the end portion 40 and further passed through the assembly nut 25. Then, the contact 12 is inserted into the holding member 14 and held.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, after the holding member 14 and the end portion 40 are fitted together, the holding member 14 and the end portion 40 are fixed to each other using the assembly nut 25.

  During the operation so far, the longer the internal wire 302 is, the easier it is to work. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the plurality of internal electric wires 302 respectively included in the two cables 300 are all connected to one fitting portion 10, it is preferable that the internal electric wires 302 are longer. On the other hand, after the holding member 14 is fixed to the end portion 40 as shown in FIG. However, in the present embodiment, since the accommodating space 54 having a wide and high accommodating capacity is provided, the inner electric wires 302 are accommodated in the accommodating portion 44 without applying excessive stress to the remaining numerous inner electric wires 302. Can be accommodated.

  In the present embodiment, the fitting portion 10 is attached to the main portion 70, and the insertion hole 46 and the outer cylinder portion 48 are also formed in the main portion 70. After confirming the state of the internal electric wire 302 and the state of the internal electric wire 302 accommodated in the accommodating space 54, the lid 80 can be closed.

  Thereafter, the lid 80 is fixed to the main portion 70 using the fixing screw 98 in a state where the end portion 40 of the outer jacket 306 is made to correspond to the first cable holding portion 74. Accordingly, the outer cover 306 of the cable 300 is sandwiched between the second cable holding portion 84 and the first cable holding portion 74 of the lid portion 80, and a part of the cable 300 is fixed to the cable housing 30. Thereafter, the bushing 92 on the cable 300 is moved and received in the bushing receiving portion 76, the ground nut 94 is moved, and the ground nut 94 is attached to the outer cylinder portion 48. Thereby, the bushing 92 is fixed, and the connector 100 as shown in FIG. 4 is obtained. In this embodiment, since the bushing 92 is fixed after the clamp position of the cable 300 is determined, the position of the cable 300 moves during assembly, that is, when the bushing 92 is inserted into the bushing receiving portion 76. Can be prevented.

  Although the present invention has been specifically described above with reference to the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications and applications are possible.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the number of the insertion holes 46 is two, but may be one or three or more. That is, the number of insertion holes 46 may be any number.

  Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the second side wall 64 connects the first side wall 62 and the third side wall 66 in a plane and obliquely intersects with the second direction. It is not limited. The second side wall 64 may have a concave surface or a convex surface as long as it intersects the second direction. Further, the second side wall 64 may be configured to form the same plane together with the first side wall 62. However, in consideration of the operability of the operation unit 18, it is preferable that the second side wall 64 intersects the second direction.

  Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, although the connector 100 which connects the cable 300 which has the internal electric wire 302 was demonstrated, the concept of this invention connects the optical fiber cable which has an optical fiber core wire instead of an internal electric wire. It can also be applied to connectors.

  The present invention is applicable to, for example, an interface connector for a servo motor mounted on a machine tool.
