Description
本発明は、チップオンタイプのLEDモジュール基板の電気接続に用いるコネクタに関する。 The present invention relates to a connector used for electrical connection of a chip-on type LED module substrate.
LED素子が基板に実装されたCOB(Chip on board)タイプのLEDモジュール基板が照明等の分野にて採用されている。
この場合に、LEDモジュール基板に給電するためのコネクタが用いられている。
例えば、特許文献1には、カバーに設けた偏向端子をLEDアレイ(LEDモジュール基板)のアノード及びカソードに接触させ、カバーを支持体に固定することでLEDアレイを挟み込むカバーアセンブリを開示する。
しかし、このようにLEDモジュール基板をカバーと支持体等で上下方向挟み込むようにネジ固定する構造にあっては、給電端子のLEDモジュール基板の給電パッドに弾性接触する偏向端子(接続端子)の接触圧がネジの締め付け力により変動する問題がある。
また、予め上カバー部材と下カバー部材とをそれぞれ設け、この上下のカバー部材にてLEDモジュール基板を挟み込む構造が考えられるが、その場合には上カバー部材と下カバー部材とを別々に管理する必要が生じ、輸送時にはそれぞれ梱包することが必要となる。
さらには、上カバー部材に設けた接続端子(コンタクト)に不本意に触れ、変形する恐れもある。
A COB (Chip on board) type LED module substrate in which an LED element is mounted on a substrate is used in the field of lighting and the like.
In this case, a connector for supplying power to the LED module substrate is used.
For example,
However, in such a structure in which the LED module substrate is fixed by screws so as to be sandwiched between the cover and the support in the vertical direction, the contact of the deflection terminal (connection terminal) that elastically contacts the power supply pad of the LED module substrate of the power supply terminal There is a problem that the pressure varies depending on the tightening force of the screw.
Further, a structure in which an upper cover member and a lower cover member are provided in advance and the LED module substrate is sandwiched between the upper and lower cover members is conceivable. In this case, the upper cover member and the lower cover member are managed separately. There will be a need, and it will be necessary to pack each during transportation.
Furthermore, there is a risk of unintentionally touching and deforming a connection terminal (contact) provided on the upper cover member.
本発明は、LEDモジュール基板の保持及び電気接続が容易で電気接続の信頼性が高いコネクタの提供を目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide a connector that can easily hold and electrically connect an LED module substrate and has high reliability of electrical connection.
本発明に係るLEDモジュール基板用コネクタは、LEDモジュール基板を保持及び電気接続するためのコネクタであって、LEDモジュール基板を載置するための下カバー部材と、前記下カバー部材の端部に回動自在に取り付けた上カバー部材とを備え、
前記上カバー部材は前記LEDモジュール基板に有する給電パッドに弾性接触する給電用の2つの接続端子を有し、前記接続端子は前記上カバー部材の回動方向と直交しない方向に延在させてあり、2つの前記接続端子の其々の接点部は前記上カバーと前記下カバーとの回動中心から互いに異なる距離で備えられ、前記上カバー部材を前記下カバー部材に対して回動させながら閉じると、前記接続端子の前記接点部が前記給電パッドの表面に対して前記接続端子の弾性変位方向と前記上カバー部材の回動方向の2方向に摺動しながら弾性接続するものであり、前記回動中心に近い方の前記接点部は、回動の進行に伴い前記LEDモジュール基板の発光部に近づくことを特徴とする。
ここで、上カバー部材を下カバー部材に回動自在に取り付ける構造に制限はなく、例えばヒンジ構造により、上下カバー部材の端部にて相互にヒンジ連結する。
ヒンジ構造も軸着,枢着等その連結構造に制限はない。
The LED module substrate connector according to the present invention is a connector for holding and electrically connecting the LED module substrate, and is provided on a lower cover member for placing the LED module substrate and an end portion of the lower cover member. An upper cover member attached movably,
The upper cover member has two power supply connection terminals that elastically contact a power supply pad provided on the LED module substrate, and the connection terminals extend in a direction not orthogonal to the rotation direction of the upper cover member. The contact portions of the two connection terminals are provided at different distances from the rotation center of the upper cover and the lower cover, and are closed while rotating the upper cover member with respect to the lower cover member. And the contact portion of the connection terminal is elastically connected to the surface of the power supply pad while sliding in two directions of an elastic displacement direction of the connection terminal and a rotation direction of the upper cover member, The contact portion closer to the center of rotation approaches the light emitting portion of the LED module substrate as the rotation proceeds .
Here, there is no restriction | limiting in the structure which attaches an upper cover member to a lower cover member so that rotation is possible, For example, it is hinge-connected by the edge part of an upper-and-lower cover member by hinge structure.
The hinge structure is not limited in its connecting structure such as pivoting and pivoting.
本発明は、下カバー部材にLEDモジュール基板を載置し、上カバー部材を回動させて下カバー部材に向けて閉じることでLEDモジュール基板を上下のカバー部材で保持する。
これにより、上カバー部材に設けた給電用の接続端子は上カバー部材の回動に伴い、LEDモジュール基板の給電パッドの表面を摺動しながら弾性接触するので、接点部にセルフクリーニング作用が働く。
この際に、接続端子は前記上カバー部材の回動方向と直交しない方向に延在させてあり、前記上カバー部材を閉じる方向に回動させると、前記接続端子の接点部が前記給電パッドの表面に対して接続端子の弾性変位方向と上カバー部材の回動方向の2方向に摺動しながら弾性接続するものであると、接点部にさらに強いセルフクリーニング作用が生じる。
ここで、接続端子が上カバー部材の回動方向と直交しない方向に延在するとは、例えば外部電源と接続するために上カバー部材に設けたコンタクトから先端部が接点部となる自由端の弾性片を延在させる場合に、その延在方向が上カバー部材の回動軸方向と直交しない関係にあることをいう。
In the present invention, the LED module substrate is placed on the lower cover member, and the upper cover member is rotated and closed toward the lower cover member, whereby the LED module substrate is held by the upper and lower cover members.
As a result, the power supply connection terminal provided on the upper cover member is elastically contacted while sliding on the surface of the power supply pad of the LED module substrate as the upper cover member rotates, so that a self-cleaning action acts on the contact portion. .
At this time, the connection terminal extends in a direction not orthogonal to the rotation direction of the upper cover member, and when the upper cover member is rotated in the closing direction, the contact portion of the connection terminal is connected to the power supply pad. If it is elastically connected to the surface while sliding in the two directions of the elastic displacement direction of the connection terminal and the rotation direction of the upper cover member, a stronger self-cleaning action is generated at the contact portion.
Here, the connection terminal extends in a direction that is not orthogonal to the rotation direction of the upper cover member, for example, the elasticity of the free end where the tip portion becomes a contact portion from a contact provided on the upper cover member for connection to an external power source. When the piece is extended, it means that the extending direction is not orthogonal to the rotation axis direction of the upper cover member.
本発明に係るコネクタにあっては、下カバー部材に予め上カバー部材を回動自在に取り付けてあるので、上下カバー部材を一体的に管理でき、上カバー部材の内側に設けた接続端子を不本意に触れ、変形させることもない。
また、上カバー部材の接続端子がこの上カバー部材の回動に伴って、LEDモジュール基板の給電パッドに摺動しながら接続されるのでセルフクリーニング作用が生じ、電気接続の信頼性が高い。
In the connector according to the present invention, since the upper cover member is rotatably attached to the lower cover member in advance, the upper and lower cover members can be managed integrally, and the connection terminals provided on the inner side of the upper cover member cannot be used. There is no intention to change it.
Further, since the connection terminal of the upper cover member is slid and connected to the power supply pad of the LED module substrate as the upper cover member rotates, a self-cleaning action occurs, and the reliability of electrical connection is high.
本発明に係るコネクタの構造例を以下図面に基づいて説明するが、本発明はこれに限定されない。 Although the structural example of the connector which concerns on this invention is demonstrated based on drawing below, this invention is not limited to this.
本発明に係るコネクタは、図1,2に示すようにLEDモジュール基板30を載置し、装着するための装着部21を有する下カバー部材20の端部に、ヒンジ構造により回動自在の上カバー部材10を連結してある。
ヒンジ構造に制限はないが、本実施例では図4に示すように下カバー部材20の端部に一対の枢着凸部22を対向配置し、上カバー部材10の対応する端部に一対の枢着凹部12を設けた例になっている。
これにより、上カバー部材10の枢着凹部12に下カバー部材20の枢着凸部22を嵌合枢着することで上カバー部材10が下カバー部材20に対して回動自在となっている。
この枢着軸を図1に回動中心Oとして一点鎖線で示した。
下カバー部材20は、LEDモジュール基板30を載置装着するための装着部21を有し、この部分にLEDモジュール基板30が装着される。
LEDモジュール基板30は、LED素子を実装した発光部31と、この実装したLED素子に給電するための給電パッド32,33を有する。
また、LEDモジュール基板30を下カバー部材20に装着する際に、相互に装着位置が定まるようにLEDモジュール基板のコーナー部に位置決め凹部34a,34bを設け、下カバー部材20の装着部21のコーナー部に位置決めの凸部21a,21bを設けた例になっている。
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the connector according to the present invention has an

上カバー部材10は、LEDモジュール基板30の発光部31から発光する光が外部に向けて発するようにした開口部11と、ケーブル等にて外部電源と接続するためのコンタクト13,14を有する。
本実施例では、図3に示すようにコンタクト13,14は、ケーブルの芯線を差し込み接続するための接続部13b,14bと、コンタクトの本体部から先端部側が自由端となっている板バネ状の弾性片からなる接続端子13a,14aを有する。
接続端子13a,14aは、コンタクト本体部との付け根部から自由端の延在方向が回動中心軸方向(枢着軸方向)と直交しないように、所定の角度(枢着軸方向と平行である場合も含む)で、配置してある。
上カバー部材10を閉じて接続端子13a,14aがLEDモジュール基板30の給電パッド32,33に弾性接触する際の接点部の動きを図1(c)及び図3に示す。
上カバー部材10に装着したコンタクト13,14から自由端となっている接続端子13a,14aが弾性片として延在しているので、本実施例では回動中心O側に近い方の接続端子14aが給電パッド33に弾性接触し始め、次に遠い方の接続端子13aが給電パッド32に弾性接触するようになる。
接続端子13a,14aの接点部113a,114aには、この接続端子の弾性変形に伴って、弾性変位方向の摺動力と、上カバー部材10が閉じる方向に回動することで、回動中心側から上カバー部材10の自由端側に向けて回動方向に変位する摺動力とが作用し、そのベクトル合成として、斜め矢印の方向に摺動する。
これにより、接続端子13a,14aの弾性変位方向以外の回動方向にも摺動するので、接点部のセルフクリーニング作用が高い。
