In order to keep the contact terminal portion electrically connected to another wiring board, the contact connected to the contact terminal portion provided on the mounted wiring board member and the mounted wiring The present invention relates to a connector device provided with a lock portion for locking a plate-like member to prevent the separation thereof.

種々の電子機器に実装される比較的小型なフレキシブル印刷配線基板やフレキシブル平板状ケーブル等の配線板状部材は、各種の電気部品が取り付けられる主配線基板への電気的連結が、当該主配線基板に電気的接続がなされて固定されるコネクタ装置が用いられて行われることが多いものとされる。このような配線板状部材の主配線基板への電気的連結にあたって用いられるコネクタ装置は、配線板状部材に設けられた接触端子部に接触接続される導電性のコンタクトを有していて、そのコンタクトを介して、配線板状部材に設けられた接触端子部を主配線基板に設けられた配線部における端子に電気的に接続する。   Wiring plate-like members such as relatively small flexible printed wiring boards and flexible flat-plate cables mounted on various electronic devices are electrically connected to the main wiring board to which various electric components are attached. In many cases, a connector device that is electrically connected and fixed is used. A connector device used for electrical connection of such a wiring board member to a main wiring board has a conductive contact that is contact-connected to a contact terminal portion provided on the wiring board member, and Via the contact, the contact terminal portion provided on the wiring plate-like member is electrically connected to the terminal in the wiring portion provided on the main wiring board.

従来提案されている、例えば、フレキシブル印刷配線基板とされる配線板状部材の主配線基板への電気的連結に用いられるコネクタ装置は、配線板状部材が差し込まれる板状部材差込み部が設けられたものとされて主配線基板に取り付けられる、例えば、絶縁材料によって形成されたハウジングを有したものとされ、そのハウジングに、配列配置されて設けられて主配線基板に設けられた配線端子に連結され、配線板状部材が板状部材差込み部を通じてハウジングに差し込まれたとき、ハウジング内において差し込まれた配線板状部材における複数の接触端子部に夫々接触接続される複数のコンタクトが備えられる。そして、複数のコンタクトが、配線板状部材に設けられた複数の接触端子部に夫々接触接続された状態におかれることにより、配線板状部材が、コネクタ装置を介して、主配線基板との電気的連結状態におかれる。   Conventionally proposed connector devices, for example, used for electrical connection of a wiring board member, which is a flexible printed wiring board, to a main wiring board are provided with a plate member insertion portion into which the wiring board member is inserted. For example, a housing formed of an insulating material is attached to the main wiring board, and is arranged in the housing and connected to the wiring terminals provided on the main wiring board. When the wiring plate-like member is inserted into the housing through the plate-like member insertion portion, a plurality of contacts that are contact-connected to a plurality of contact terminal portions of the wiring plate-like member inserted in the housing are provided. Then, by placing the plurality of contacts in contact with and connected to the plurality of contact terminal portions provided on the wiring plate-like member, the wiring plate-like member is connected to the main wiring board via the connector device. Placed in electrical connection.

このようなコネクタ装置には、配線板状部材のハウジングへの板状部材差込み部を通じた差込み方向がハウジングが取り付けられた主配線基板に実質的に平行となる水平差込み型のものと、配線板状部材のハウジングへの板状部材差込み部を通じた差込み方向がハウジングが取り付けられた主配線基板に実質的に直交することになる垂直差込み型のものとがある。コネクタ装置のハウジングは、通常、それが主配線基板に取り付けられる際に主配線基板に対接する基板対接端面部を有したものとされるが、水平差込み型のコネクタ装置にあっては、ハウジングに設けられた板状部材差込み部が、配線板状部材のハウジングへの差込みが基板対接端面部に実質的に平行な方向をもって行われるようにするものとされ、また、垂直差込み型のコネクタ装置にあっては、ハウジングに設けられた板状部材差込み部が、配線板状部材のハウジングへの差込みが基板対接端面部に実質的に直交する方向をもって行われるようにするものとされる。   Such a connector device includes a horizontal insertion type in which the insertion direction of the wiring plate member through the plate member insertion portion to the housing is substantially parallel to the main wiring board to which the housing is attached, and the wiring board There is a vertical insertion type in which the insertion direction of the plate-like member through the plate-like member insertion portion into the housing is substantially orthogonal to the main wiring board to which the housing is attached. The housing of the connector device usually has a board contact end face portion that comes into contact with the main wiring board when the housing is attached to the main wiring board. The plate-like member insertion portion provided in the connector is configured so that the insertion of the wiring plate-like member into the housing is performed in a direction substantially parallel to the board contact end surface portion, and a vertical insertion type connector. In the apparatus, the plate-like member insertion portion provided in the housing is configured so that the insertion of the wiring plate-like member into the housing is performed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the board contact end surface portion. .

上述のような、水平差込み型のコネクタ装置及び垂直差込み型のコネクタ装置のいずれにあっても、例えば、フレキシブル印刷配線基板とされる配線板状部材が、主配線基板に取り付けられたハウジングに板状部材差込み部を通じて差し込まれて、ハウジングに配された複数のコンタクトが、ハウジング内において配線板状部材における複数の接触端子部に夫々接触接続され、それにより、配線板状部材がコネクタ装置を介して主配線基板との電気的連結状態におかれるにあたり、配線板状部材がハウジングから不所望に離脱するような事態が回避されなくてはならない。当然のことながら、ハウジングに配された複数のコンタクトがハウジング内において配線板状部材における複数の接触端子部に夫々接触接続された状態が適正に維持されるためには、ハウジングに板状部材差込み部を通じて差し込まれた配線板状部材が、その状態を安定に維持することができ、ハウジングから不所望に抜脱されるような事態をまねかないものとされることが必要とされるのである。   In any of the horizontal insertion type connector device and the vertical insertion type connector device as described above, for example, a wiring plate-like member to be a flexible printed wiring board is mounted on a housing attached to the main wiring board. The plurality of contacts inserted into the housing and disposed in the housing are contact-connected to the plurality of contact terminal portions in the wiring plate-like member in the housing, whereby the wiring plate-like member is connected via the connector device. Therefore, when being electrically connected to the main wiring board, a situation in which the wiring plate member is undesirably detached from the housing must be avoided. As a matter of course, in order for the plurality of contacts arranged in the housing to be properly connected in contact with the plurality of contact terminal portions of the wiring plate member in the housing, the plate member is inserted into the housing. It is required that the wiring plate-like member inserted through the part can stably maintain the state and does not cause an undesired removal from the housing.

そのため、例えば、垂直差込み型のコネクタ装置に着目すると、板状部材差込み部が設けられたハウジングに、板状部材差込み部を通じて、ハウジングが取り付けられた主配線基板に実質的に直交する方向をもって差し込まれた配線板状部材を係止し、それにより、配線板状部材のハウジングからの不所望な抜脱を阻止するロック手段を備えたコネクタ装置が、従来提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。   Therefore, for example, when paying attention to the vertical insertion type connector device, the plate-like member insertion portion is inserted into the housing provided with the plate-like member insertion portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to the main wiring board to which the housing is attached. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been proposed a connector device that includes a locking means that locks a printed wiring board member and thereby prevents undesired removal of the wiring board member from the housing (for example, Patent Document 1). reference.).

特許文献1に示される垂直差込み型のコネクタ装置(FPC/FFC用ロック機構付きコネクタ)にあっては、主配線基板(基板B)に取り付けられたハウジング(インシュレータ10)に、主配線基板に直交する方向(鉛直方向)に向けられた板状部材差込み部(FPC/FFC挿入穴11)が設けられており、その板状部材差込み部を通じて、配線板状部材(FPC/FFC20)がハウジングに主配線基板に直交する方向をもって差し込まれる。さらに、ハウジングには、その長手方向の両端部分に、一対の係止手段(ロックレバー15)が回動可能に軸着されている。一対の係止手段の夫々は、そのいずれの部分にも押圧力等の外力が作用していないとき主配線基板に平行に伸びる姿勢及び主配線基板に対して斜め方向に伸びる姿勢を夫々とる、水平部(15a )及び傾斜部(15b )を有している。水平部(15a )及び傾斜部(15b )は、係止手段をハウジングに軸着している軸(14)を挟んで配されており、軸(14)を中心にして一体的に回動できるものとされている。   In the vertical insertion type connector device (connector with FPC / FFC locking mechanism) disclosed in Patent Document 1, the housing (insulator 10) attached to the main wiring board (board B) is orthogonal to the main wiring board. A plate-like member insertion portion (FPC / FFC insertion hole 11) oriented in the direction (vertical direction) is provided, and the wiring plate-like member (FPC / FFC20) is mainly connected to the housing through the plate-like member insertion portion. It is inserted with a direction orthogonal to the wiring board. Furthermore, a pair of locking means (lock lever 15) is pivotally attached to the housing at both end portions in the longitudinal direction. Each of the pair of locking means takes a posture extending parallel to the main wiring board and an posture extending obliquely with respect to the main wiring board when no external force such as a pressing force is applied to any part thereof, respectively. It has a horizontal part (15a) and an inclined part (15b). The horizontal portion (15a) and the inclined portion (15b) are arranged with a shaft (14) on which the locking means is pivotally attached to the housing, and can rotate integrally around the shaft (14). It is supposed to be.

係止手段の傾斜部(15b )は、それに押圧力等の外力が作用していないときには、その先端部分がハウジングに設けられた板状部材差込み部内に置かれるようにされている。それにより、配線板状部材が板状部材差込み部を通じてハウジングに差し込まれる際には、先ず、差し込まれる配線板状部材の端部に設けられた一対の突起部(22)の各々によって係止手段の傾斜部(15b )が押圧され、係止手段の全体が、その傾斜部(15b )における先端部がハウジングに設けられた板状部材差込み部外に押し退けられるように回動せしめられる。   The inclined portion (15b) of the locking means is arranged so that its tip end portion is placed in a plate-like member insertion portion provided in the housing when no external force such as a pressing force is applied thereto. Thus, when the wiring plate-like member is inserted into the housing through the plate-like member insertion portion, first, the locking means is provided by each of the pair of protrusions (22) provided at the end of the inserted wiring plate-like member. The inclined portion (15b) is pressed, and the entire locking means is rotated so that the tip of the inclined portion (15b) is pushed out of the plate member insertion portion provided in the housing.

続いて、配線板状部材がさらにハウジングに差し込まれて、配線板状部材の端部がハウジング内における正規の位置に到達するときには、配線板状部材の端部に設けられた突起部(22)が係止手段の傾斜部(15b )における先端部に対応する位置を通り越しており、係止手段の傾斜部(15b )が配線板状部材における突起部(22)による押圧を受ける状態から解放される。それにより、係止手段が、ハウジングに設けられた板状部材差込み部外に配されていた係止手段の傾斜部(15b )における先端部をハウジングに設けられた板状部材差込み部内に置くように復元回動して、その水平部(15a )及び傾斜部(15b )が夫々配線基板に平行に伸びる姿勢及び配線基板に対して斜め方向に伸びる姿勢をとる状態に戻る。   Subsequently, when the wiring plate member is further inserted into the housing and the end of the wiring plate member reaches a proper position in the housing, the protrusion (22) provided at the end of the wiring plate member Passes through the position corresponding to the tip of the inclined portion (15b) of the locking means, and the inclined portion (15b) of the locking means is released from the state of being pressed by the protrusion (22) of the wiring board member. The As a result, the locking means places the tip of the inclined portion (15b) of the locking means arranged outside the plate-like member insertion portion provided in the housing in the plate-like member insertion portion provided in the housing. Then, the horizontal portion (15a) and the inclined portion (15b) return to a state in which the posture extends parallel to the wiring substrate and the posture extends obliquely with respect to the wiring substrate.

このようにして、配線板状部材が板状部材差込み部を通じてハウジングに差し込まれたもとにあっては、ハウジングに設けられた板状部材差込み部内に置かれた係止手段の傾斜部(15b )における先端部が、ハウジングに差し込まれた配線板状部材における突起部(22)が形成する段部(23)に係合する状態に置かれる。そのため、ハウジングに差し込まれた配線板状部材に、それをハウジングから抜脱させる方向の不所望な外力が作用するときには、一対の係止手段の夫々の傾斜部(15b )における先端部が差し込まれた配線板状部材における一対の段部(23)の夫々を係止して、配線板状部材のハウジングからの不所望な抜脱を阻止する。   In this way, when the wiring plate member is inserted into the housing through the plate member insertion portion, in the inclined portion (15b) of the locking means placed in the plate member insertion portion provided in the housing. The distal end portion is placed in a state of engaging with a step portion (23) formed by the projection portion (22) in the wiring plate-like member inserted into the housing. Therefore, when an undesired external force is applied to the wiring plate member inserted into the housing in a direction in which the wiring plate member is removed from the housing, the tip end portions of the inclined portions (15b) of the pair of locking means are inserted. Each of the pair of steps (23) in the wiring board member is locked to prevent undesired removal of the wiring board member from the housing.

上述のような、ハウジングに差し込まれたフレキシブル印刷配線基板等とされる配線板状部材のハウジングからの不所望な抜脱の阻止に関与する係止手段を備えた垂直差込み型のコネクタ装置として、従来提案されているものにあっては、一対の係止手段を成すロックレバーが、ハウジングとは別体のものとして、ハウジングに回動可能に設けられており、各ロックレバーは、配線板状部材のハウジングへの差込みに応じて回動する。また、場合によっては、配線板状部材のハウジングへの差込みに応じたロックレバーの回動をより確実なものとするため、ロックレバーに強制的な付勢力を与える付勢リブがハウジングに設けられる。   As described above, as a vertical plug-in type connector device having locking means involved in preventing undesired removal from the housing of the wiring plate-like member to be a flexible printed wiring board or the like inserted into the housing, In what has been proposed in the past, the lock levers that form a pair of locking means are provided separately from the housing, and are rotatably provided in the housing. It rotates according to the insertion of the member into the housing. In some cases, the housing is provided with an urging rib for forcibly urging the lock lever in order to ensure the rotation of the lock lever according to the insertion of the wiring plate member into the housing. .

それゆえ、このような従来提案されている垂直差込み型のコネクタ装置にあっては、それを構成する部品点数が増加し、組立て作業工程の複雑化がまねかれ、さらに、製造コストが嵩むことになるという問題があった。   Therefore, in such a conventionally proposed vertical insertion type connector device, the number of components constituting it is increased, the assembly work process is complicated, and the manufacturing cost is increased.

A plug-in type connector device, which is disposed on a wiring board and provided with a plate-like member insertion portion that opens to the other end surface portion that faces the one end surface portion that contacts the wiring substrate, and is arranged in the housing. Provided with a plurality of contacts that electrically connect the wiring plate-like member to the wiring board, it is not necessary to provide a separate member that can be rotated with respect to the housing, and the number of components is relatively small. In addition, it is possible to simplify the assembly work process, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost, and the plate-like portion in the housing. Provided that the wiring board-like member inserted through the insertion part can be easily and reliably prevented from undesirably being pulled out of the housing and released from the prevention.
