Fixed. For this reason, when the shield connector is attached to the end of the electric wire fixed to the body of the vehicle and the electric wire vibrates greatly with the vibration of the vehicle, this vibration is also transmitted to the shield connector attached to the end of the electric wire, and the shield case The shield connector rattles due to, for example, the fixed piece fixed to the wire being bent. And, due to this rattling, a problem occurs between the terminals.

  The present invention has been completed based on the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to suppress problems that occur between terminals due to vibrations of electric wires and the like.

The present invention is a shield connector that is fitted to a device-side connector provided in a device, one end of which is fitted to a device-side housing provided in the device-side connector, and an electric wire is fitted from the other end side. A housing introduced in a direction intersecting with the wire, connected to the electric wire, connected to a device-side terminal provided on the device-side connector, and has a plate-like mounting piece to cover the housing A shield shell, and the mounting piece is disposed on one end side of the housing and is fixed to a shield case of the device. The shield shell and the housing are disposed on the other end side of the housing. And is fixed by a fastening member that passes through the shield shell and the housing in a direction crossing the direction of introduction of the electric wire and is fastened to the shield case. It has a feature where you are.
According to the shield connector having such a configuration, since both members are fixed not only by the attachment piece but also by a fastening member that penetrates the shield shell and the housing, the attachment piece may be bent and the shield connector may be rattled. Can be prevented. In addition, since the fastening member is fastened in the direction intersecting with the introduction direction of the electric wire on the other end side where the electric wire is introduced into the housing, the vibration can be cut off at an initial position where the vibration of the electric wire is transmitted to the shield connector. . Thereby, the malfunction which arises between terminals due to the vibration of an electric wire etc. can be suppressed.

The following configuration is preferable as an embodiment of the present invention.
A pair of the electric wires arranged in the width direction is introduced into the housing, and a pair of conductive members that extend toward the device side connector are provided at the ends of the pair of electric wires. The relay terminal is provided with a conductive member side connecting portion that is connected to the conductive member at one end, and a wire side connecting portion that is connected to the electric wire at the other end. The pair of relay terminals are bent in the width direction such that the length between the two electric wire side connection portions is larger than the length between the two conductive member side connection portions, The fastening member may be arranged between the pair of electric wires.

According to such a configuration, since the conductive member having elasticity is connected to the end of each electric wire, vibration from the electric wire can be absorbed by the conductive member. Thereby, the malfunction which arises between both terminals resulting from the vibration of an electric wire etc. can be suppressed.
Also, when the conductive member is connected to the end of the electric wire via the relay terminal, for example, the relay terminal connected to the conductive member is bent in the direction in which the electric wire is introduced from the device side connector side, and then the relay terminal And the terminal connected to the wire with a bolt or the like, the portion where the relay terminal is bent in the direction in which the wire is introduced and the portion where the relay terminal and the terminal are connected are aligned in the direction in which the wire is introduced become.

However, according to the above configuration, the pair of relay terminals are bent in the width direction so that the length between the two electric wire side connection portions is larger than the length between the two conductive member side connection portions. Therefore, the portion where the relay terminal and the terminal are connected and the portion where the relay terminal is bent can be arranged side by side in the width direction. As a result, it is possible to prevent the housing from being enlarged in the direction in which the electric wire is introduced, as compared with the case where the portion where the relay terminal and the terminal are connected and the portion where the relay terminal is bent are aligned in the direction in which the electric wire is introduced. it can.
In addition, by bending the relay terminal in the width direction so that the electric wire side connection portions are separated from each other, a dead space is generated between the pair of electric wires, and the fastening member is passed through the housing using the dead space. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a portion for penetrating the fastening member in the housing, and the housing can be prevented from further increasing in size.

The mounting piece may be formed to be horizontally long in the width direction, and a bolt fastening portion to be fastened by a bolt may be provided on both sides of the mounting piece in the width direction.

Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the shield shell from rattling.

The shield shell is configured by combining an upper shell that covers the upper portion of the housing and a lower shell that covers the lower portion of the housing, and the upper shell and the lower shell are fastened together by the fastening member. It is good also as a structure combined together.
According to such a configuration, the upper shell and the lower shell can be combined and fixed by the fastening member that fixes the shield shell to the shield case. For example, the fixing mechanism that fixes the upper shell and the lower shell to each other is provided. There is no need to provide it separately, and the structure of the shield shell can be simplified.

Further, the partition wall 26 between the pair of cavities 25 in the electric wire introduction part 23 is formed wider than the partition wall 26 of the case fitting part 22 and the connecting part 24.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, electric wires 50 fitted with an annular rubber stopper G and an annular rubber stopper retainer G1 are introduced into the cavities 25 of the electric wire introduction portion 23 from below. The rubber plug G is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the electric wire 50 and the inner peripheral surface of the cavity 25, thereby protecting the rubber 25 from entering the cavity 25 from the electric wire introduction portion 23 while protecting the rubber from entering the cavity 25. It is retained by the stopper G1. In addition, the electric wire 50 introduced from below into the electric wire introduction part 23 extends to the connecting part 24, and the LA terminal 52 of the electric wire 50 is in a state of being introduced into the cavity 25 of the connecting part 24.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 12, a pair of terminal fixing portions 28 arranged side by side in the width direction are provided in the cavity 25 of the connecting portion 24. A fixing nut 29 is press-fitted into each terminal fixing portion 28 from the rear.

By the way, when the conductive member is connected to the end of the electric wire via the relay terminal, for example, the relay terminal connected to the conductive member is bent downward to be introduced with the electric wire, and then connected to the relay terminal and the electric wire. Although a method of fastening the LA terminal with a bolt is also conceivable, in such a method, a portion connecting the relay terminal and the LA terminal and a portion where the relay terminal is bent downward are aligned in the vertical direction. The housing becomes large in the vertical direction, which is disadvantageous in reducing the height of the housing.
However, according to the present embodiment, the pair of relay terminals 43 are bent outward in the width direction so that the electric wire side connection portions 46 are separated from each other, and therefore the portion connecting the relay terminal 43 and the LA terminal 52 and the relay terminal 43 are connected. 43A can be arranged in the width direction. That is, the height of the housing 20 can be reduced as compared with the case where the portion connecting the relay terminal and the LA terminal and the portion where the relay terminal is bent downward are arranged in the vertical direction.

The cover 70 has a seal ring 71 that is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the work hole 30 and seals the inside of the housing 20, and the cover 70 is attached to the work hole 30 after the bolt BT is fastened. The working hole 30 protects the housing 20 from entering water.

  The shield shell 60 is made of a conductive metal plate material such as aluminum or aluminum alloy, and is configured by assembling an upper shell 61 and a lower shell 62 together as shown in FIGS. 5, 10, and 12.

  The upper shell 61 has a box shape that covers the connecting portion 24 of the housing 20 from the rear, and is mounted on the upper front edge of the upper shell 61 on the horizontal surface 103 of the shield case 100 as shown in FIGS. A flat mounting piece 63 is provided so as to protrude to the front side. A pair of bolt fastening portions 64 corresponding to the upper fastening holes 102 of the horizontal surface 103 are provided on both sides in the width direction of the mounting piece 63, and the bolts BT are inserted into the bolt fastening portions 64 from above and the upper fastening holes 102. When the bolt BT is tightened, the attachment piece 63 is fixed to the shield case 100 and the shield shell 60 is electrically connected to the shield case 100 as shown in FIGS. .

As shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 10, the lower shell 62 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape that is horizontally long in the width direction, and is open in the vertical direction. In addition, the wire introduction part 23 can be accommodated in the lower shell 62 from above. When the wire introduction part 23 is accommodated in the lower shell 62, the lower shell 62 is placed around the entire circumference of the wire introduction part 23. It will be in the state covered over. In addition, the shield shell 60 is configured by assembling the upper shell 61 from the rear to the connecting portion 24 after assembling the lower shell 62 to the electric wire introduction portion 23.
A braided wire (not shown) is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the lower shell 62 so that the pair of electric wires 50 introduced into the electric wire introduction portion 23 are shielded collectively.

A bolt insertion hole 31 through which a fastening bolt (an example of a “fastening member”) 32 is inserted is formed in the electric wire introduction portion 23 of the housing 20. The bolt insertion hole 31 is formed so as to penetrate the substantially central portion in the width direction of the electric wire introduction portion 23 in the front-rear direction. In other words, the bolt insertion hole 31 is formed in the electric wire introduction part 23 using the wide partition wall 26 that partitions the pair of cavities 25 through which the electric wires 50 are inserted.
The fastening bolt 32 is set to have a length that is greater than the total length of the length dimension of the electric wire introducing portion 23 in the front-rear direction, the thickness of the upper shell 61, and the thickness of the lower shell 62. The rear surface of the shield case 100 can be fastened to a lower fastening hole 104 provided below the attachment hole 101.

  A mounting seat 33 is formed on the opening edge of the bolt insertion hole 31 on the front surface of the electric wire introducing portion 23 so as to protrude forward. The mounting seat 33 is in close contact with the rear surface of the shield case 100 when the case fitting portion 22 of the housing 20 is fitted into the mounting hole 101 of the shield case 100, so that the shield case 100 and the wire introduction portion 23 are connected. It plays the role of filling in the gaps between them.

On the other hand, a lower side insertion hole 62 </ b> A provided corresponding to the bolt insertion hole 31 of the wire introduction portion 23 is formed at the substantially central portion in the width direction on the rear surface of the lower shell 62. When assembled, the lower side insertion hole 62 </ b> A overlaps behind the bolt insertion hole 31 of the electric wire introduction portion 23.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 10, an extending piece 65 having an upper side insertion hole 65 </ b> A is formed at the substantially central portion in the width direction on the rear surface of the upper shell 61. The extension piece 65 extends downward from the lower end portion of the upper shell 61, and when the upper shell 61 is assembled to the connecting portion 24, the bolt insertion hole 31 of the wire introduction portion 23 and the lower side insertion hole of the lower shell 62. The extension piece 65 is overlapped behind 62A, and the bolt insertion hole 31, the lower side insertion hole 62A, and the upper side insertion hole 65A are continuous.
Then, by continuously inserting the fastening bolt 32 into the upper side insertion hole 65A, the lower side insertion hole 62A, and the bolt insertion hole 31, and tightening the fastening bolt 32 into the lower side fastening hole 104 of the shield case 100, The electric wire introduction part 23, the upper shell 61, and the lower shell 62 are fastened together and fixed to the shield case 100.

That is, the shield connector 10 penetrates not only the position of the pair of bolt fastening portions 64 provided on both sides in the width direction of the attachment piece 63 of the upper shell 61 but also the substantially central portion in the width direction of the shield shell 60 and the wire introduction portion 23. The fixing bolts 32 are fixed in a well-balanced manner at a total of three positions including the position of the fastening bolt 32.
Further, when the fastening bolt 32 is tightened in the lower fastening hole 104, the upper shell 61 and the lower shell 62 are integrally fixed to form the shield shell 60, and the entire housing 20 is covered with the shield shell 60. It has become.

The shield connector 10 of the present embodiment has the above-described configuration. Next, an example of a method for fixing the shield connector 10 to the shield case 100 of the device will be briefly described, and then the operational effects of the shield connector 10 will be described. To do.
First, the pair of electric wires 50 are inserted into the lower shell 62, and the respective electric wires 50 are inserted into the rubber plug G and the rubber plug retainer G1, and the LA terminal 52 is crimped to the end of each electric wire 50.

  Next, when the conductive member 40 is inserted from the working hole 30 in the connecting portion 24 of the housing 20 and the female terminal 42 of the conductive member 40 is inserted to the proper position in the cavity 25 of the housing fitting portion 21, The terminal 42 is held in a state where the terminal 42 is prevented from coming off in the housing fitting portion 21. At this time, the wire-side connecting portion 46 of the relay terminal 43 is placed on the rear surface of the terminal fixing portion 28 in the connecting portion 24.

  Next, the pair of electric wires 50 prepared earlier are inserted into the pair of cavities 25 of the electric wire introduction portion 23 from below, and the electric wire side connection portion 46 of the relay terminal 43 placed on the terminal fixing portion 28 of the connecting portion 24 is inserted. The round connection portion 53 of the LA terminal 52 is overlaid on the rear surface. Then, when the electric wire side connection portion 46 of the relay terminal 43 and the round connection portion 53 of the LA terminal 52 are overlapped on the rear side of the terminal fixing portion 28, the bolt BT inserted from the work hole 30 is connected to the electric wire side connection portion 46. The bolt BT is tightened to the fixing nut 29 of the terminal fixing portion 28 with a tool inserted from the work hole 30. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the relay terminal 43 and the LA terminal 52 are fixed to the housing 20. Thereafter, the cover 70 is attached to the work hole 30 and the work hole 30 is closed, whereby the space between the inner peripheral surface of the work hole 30 and the cover 70 is sealed by the seal ring 71.

  When the conductive member 40 and the electric wire 50 are fixed in the housing 20, the case fitting portion 22 is fitted into the mounting hole 101 of the shield case 100, and the housing fitting portion 21 is connected to the device side connector in the shield case 100. 110 is fitted. At this time, the space between the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole 101 and the outer peripheral surface of the case fitting portion 22 is sealed by the seal ring 27 fitted on the case fitting portion 22. Further, by fitting the housing fitting portion 21 to the device-side connector 110, the female terminal 42 is electrically connected to the device-side terminal 112 of the device-side connector 110. Further, the mounting seat 33 of the electric wire introduction part 23 is in close contact with the rear surface of the shield case 100, and the gap between the shield case 100 and the electric wire introduction part 23 is filled. Thereby, it can suppress that the electric wire introduction part 23 rattles in the front-back direction compared with the case where the electric wire introduction part is separated back from the rear surface of the shield case.

  Next, the lower shell 62 is attached to the electric wire introducing portion 23 from below, and the upper shell 61 is subsequently attached to the connecting portion 24 from the rear, whereby the shield shell 60 is configured, and the entire housing 20 is covered by the shield shell 60. . At this time, the lower side insertion hole 62A of the lower shell 62 is overlapped behind the bolt insertion hole 31 of the electric wire introduction part 23, and the extension piece 65 is overlapped, and the bolt insertion hole 31, the lower side insertion hole 62A and the upper are overlapped. The side insertion hole 65A is in a continuous state. Then, the fastening bolt 32 is continuously inserted through the upper side insertion hole 65A, the lower side insertion hole 62A, and the bolt insertion hole 31, and the fastening bolt 32 is tightened into the lower side fastening hole 104 of the shield case 100. The shield member 10 is fixed to the shield case 100 by fastening the three members of the introduction portion 23, the upper shell 61, and the lower shell 62 together. As a result, the upper shell 61 and the lower shell 62 are fixed together, and the lower portion of the shield connector 10 at the substantially central portion in the width direction is fixed by the fastening bolt 32.

  Finally, the bolt BT is inserted into a pair of bolt fastening portions 64 provided on both sides in the width direction of the mounting piece 63 of the upper shell 61 and the bolts BT are fastened to the pair of upper fastening holes 102, respectively. As shown in FIG. 9, the attachment piece 63 is fixed to the shield case 100 in the upper part of the shield connector 10, and the shield shell 60 is electrically connected to the shield case 100.

That is, according to this embodiment, since the fastening bolt 32 is fastened in the front-rear direction at the wire introduction portion 23 where the wire 50 is introduced into the housing 20, even if the wire 50 vibrates greatly with the vibration of the vehicle, The vibration can be blocked at the initial position where the vibration is transmitted to the shield connector 10. Further, the position of the pair of bolt fastening portions 64 provided on both sides in the width direction of the mounting piece 63 positioned on the upper side in the shield connector 10 and the substantially central portion in the width direction of the electric wire introduction portion 23 positioned on the lower side in the shield connector 10. Since the shield connector 10 is fixed in a well-balanced manner to the shield case 100 at three positions including the fastening bolts 32 penetrating the shield bolt 100, it is ensured that the shield connector 10 is rattled due to bending of the mounting piece 63 or the like. Can be prevented. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a problem between the device-side terminal 112 and the female terminal 42 due to the vibration of the electric wire 50 or the like.
In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the conductive member 40 is connected to the end of the electric wire 50, even if the vibration of the electric wire 50 is transmitted to the conductive member 40, the vibration is the elastic conductor of the conductive member 40. It is possible to reliably suppress the occurrence of a problem between the two terminals 112 and 42 by being absorbed by the terminal 41.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, in order to reduce the height of the housing 20, the length in the width direction between the two electric wire side connection portions 46 is made larger than the length in the width direction between the two conductive member side connection portions 47. In this way, by bending the pair of relay terminals 43 outward in the width direction, a so-called dead space in which the partition wall 26 between the pair of wires 50 in the wire introduction portion 23 becomes wide is generated in the wire introduction portion 23. . However, since the dead bolt (the wide partition wall 26) can be used to allow the fastening bolt 32 to pass through the electric wire introduction portion 23, there is no need to provide a space for passing the fastening bolt 32 in the housing 20 separately. Can be prevented from further increasing in size.
Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the upper shell 61 and the lower shell 62 can be integrally combined and fixed by the fastening bolt 32 that fixes the housing 20 and the shield shell 60 to the shield case 100. For example, the upper shell 61 There is no need to separately provide a fixing mechanism for fixing the two to the lower shell 62, and the structure of the shield shell 60 can be simplified.
