【考案の詳細な説明】この考案は、自動車などの電気配線に用いられ
るコネクタの検査装置に関するものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an inspection device for connectors used for electrical wiring in automobiles and the like.

従来、自動車などの電気配線に用いられるコネ
クタとして、例えば第１図に示すものが知られて
いる（但し、ここでは雄コネクタのみを示してあ
る）。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a connector used for electrical wiring in automobiles and the like, for example, the connector shown in FIG. 1 is known (however, only a male connector is shown here).

このコネクタは、ハウジング１内に、内部に弾
性変形可能なランス２を有する貫通孔３が形成さ
れ、この貫通孔３内に挿入した端子金具４を前記
ランス２によつて固定する構成となつている。 In this connector, a through hole 3 having an elastically deformable lance 2 inside is formed in a housing 1, and a terminal fitting 4 inserted into the through hole 3 is fixed by the lance 2. There is.

この詳細について説明すると、前記ランス２は

には雌コネクタが嵌合させられる嵌合孔１ａが形
成され、また、外側壁には雌コネクタが連結され
る係合突部１ｂが形成されている。 To explain this in detail, the lance 2 is provided so as to protrude from the upper wall 3a (upper side in FIG. 1) of the through hole 3 toward the opening surface 3b on the front end side (left side in FIG. 1) of the through hole 3. There is a gap G between the protruding end 2a and the upper wall 3a of the through hole 3.
is formed. Further, a fitting hole 1a into which a female connector is fitted is formed in the front part of the housing 1, and an engaging protrusion 1b into which a female connector is connected is formed in the outer wall.

一方、前記端子金具４の中間部には、前記ラン

が接続されている。 On the other hand, a fitting hole 4a into which the lower part of the protruding end 2a of the lance 2 is fitted is formed in the middle part of the terminal fitting 4, and an electric wire C is formed in the rear part.
is connected.

そしてこのように構成されたコネクタを組み立
てるには、端子金具４をその先端側から貫通孔３
内へ挿入する。このようにして端子金具４が挿入
されると、ランス２が端子金具４の先端で押し上

同時にランス２の突出側端部２ａが弾性により嵌
合孔４ａに入り込む。この結果ランス２と端子金
具４との係合がなされて端子金具４がしつかりと
固定される（第１図の上側の端子金具４を参照）。 To assemble the connector configured in this way, insert the terminal fitting 4 into the through hole 3 from the tip side.
Insert inside. When the terminal fitting 4 is inserted in this manner, the lance 2 is pushed up by the tip of the terminal fitting 4 and then aligned with the fitting hole 4a, and at the same time the protruding end 2a of the lance 2 is elastically fitted. It enters the matching hole 4a. As a result, the lance 2 and the terminal fitting 4 are engaged with each other, and the terminal fitting 4 is firmly fixed (see the upper terminal fitting 4 in FIG. 1).

ところで、第１図の下側の端子金具４のよう
に、所定の位置まで挿入されていない場合（すな
わち組み立て不良の場合）には、ランス２と端子
金具４との係合が行なわれていないために、端子
金具４を挿入方向と逆の方向に引くと抜けるおそ
れがあり、その検査が必要である。 By the way, if the terminal fitting 4 on the lower side of Fig. 1 is not inserted to the predetermined position (that is, if the assembly is defective), the lance 2 and the terminal fitting 4 are not engaged. Therefore, if the terminal fitting 4 is pulled in the direction opposite to the insertion direction, there is a risk that it may come off, and it is necessary to inspect it.

そこで従来では、人手により貫通孔３の開口面
３ｂ，３ｃからランス２や端子金具４の位置を確
認したり、端子金具４を引つ張つてみて抜けるか
否かを確認することによつてコネクタの組み立て
の良否を検査していた。 Therefore, in the past, the connector was removed by manually checking the positions of the lance 2 and the terminal fitting 4 from the opening surfaces 3b and 3c of the through hole 3, or by pulling the terminal fitting 4 and checking whether it could be pulled out. The assembly was inspected to see if it was properly assembled.

しかしながら、このような方法では、組み立て
の良否にかかわらず検査を行なわなければなら
ず、特に多数のコネクタを検査する場合には、そ
の作業が煩雑になる問題点を有している。 However, this method has the problem that inspection must be performed regardless of whether the assembly is good or bad, and the work becomes complicated, especially when inspecting a large number of connectors.

この考案は前述した背景のもとになされたもの

コネクタの検査装置の提供を目的とするものであ
る。 This idea was made against the above-mentioned background, and if even one of the terminal fittings is not installed in the specified position, the connector will be prevented from detaching.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a connector inspection device that allows the connector to be removed when all the terminal fittings are assembled in the predetermined positions, thereby reliably and easily inspecting the quality of the assembly. be.

る。 Next, to explain the case where a connector is inspected using the inspection device shown in this embodiment, first, the housing 1 in which the terminal fitting 4 is not assembled is
into the guide 6. Through this mating operation,
After the engaging protrusion 1b of the housing 1 enters the vertical groove 11 of the side base 5b and comes into contact with the upper end of the locking member 8, the locking member 8 is moved in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5A. Then, it is rotated against the elastic body 10 and positioned between the contact surface 7a of the stopper 7 and the engagement surface 8a of the locking member 8 (see FIGS. 5A to 5C). Therefore, in this state, the housing 1 is clamped and fixed from above and below by the stopper 7 and the locking member 8, and the lance 2 and the upper wall 3a
A gap G between the test pin 9 and the test pin 9 is fixed opposite to each other.

動させる。 If all of the terminal fittings 4 are installed in the predetermined positions (that is, if they are non-defective products), the operating member 15 is operated so that the contact surface 7a of the stopper 7 is assembled.
When the housing 1 is lowered toward the bottom base 5a after releasing the contact between the engaging protrusion 1b and the engaging protrusion 1b,
The inspection pins 9, 9, . . . enter into the gap G, and the housing 1 can be lowered to a predetermined position as shown in FIG. 6A. When the housing 1 is lowered to a predetermined position in this manner, the engaging protrusion 1b comes into contact with the unlocking part 8b of the locking member 8, and cooperates with the locking part 8b to release the locking member 8. Rotate counterclockwise as shown in FIG. 6A.

As a result, housing 1
The engaging protrusion 1b of the locking member 8 and the unlocking portion 8b of the locking member 8
The locking member 8 is prevented from making contact with the locking member 8, and the locking member 8 is not rotated. Therefore, the housing 1 is the test pin 9
The movement is restricted by the locking member 8 and the locking member 8, and separation from the inspection device is prevented.
