Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simultaneously connect units and form a continuous bus line without using a mother board by providing connectors on both faces of substrates in respective units, connecting them and forming the continuous bus line. SOLUTION: The first - fourth connectors 16-19 are provided for the first - fourth substrates 12-15 in the units 3-7 in a controller 10. The connectors 16-19 are constituted of the first - fourth female connectors 16a-19a on the side of one face 12a-15a in the substrates 12-15 and the first - fourth male connectors 16b-19b on the side of the other faces 12b-15b. The female connectors 16a-19a and the male connectors 16b-19b are provided in a state where they are dislocated on both faces of the substrates 12-15 if viewed in terms of plane. When the units 3-7 are mutually connected, the female connectors 17a-19a and the male connectors 16b-18b are connected. The connectors 16-19 are electrically connected through the substrates 12-15 so as to construct the bus line 2.

2. Description of the Related Art As a unit type control device of this type which has been conventionally used, the configuration shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 has been adopted. That is, in FIG.
What is indicated by is a motherboard, and a bus line 2 is provided on this motherboard 1, and a partition-like connector portion 6 corresponding to the number of a plurality of units 3, 4, 5 is provided on this bus line 2. There is. Each of these units 3,
By inserting 4 and 5 between each connector part 6,
The units 3, 4, and 5 are integrally connected to the mother board 1 via the connector portions 6 and also connected to the bus line 2, and are configured as shown in FIG.

[0003]

Since the conventional unit type control device is configured as described above, the following problems exist. That is, in order to connect a unit to a motherboard provided with a bus line and a connector section, if there are several types of units, it is necessary to prepare several types of motherboards having a length corresponding to the number of units. It took a lot of time to manage.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and in particular, without using a mother board, connectors provided on both sides of a board can be used to connect each unit to each other and to connect a continuous bus line. It is an object of the present invention to provide a unit-type control device that simultaneously performs the formation of and.

[0005]

A unit type control device according to the present invention is a unit type control device in which a plurality of units are connected to each other via a bus line. It has a connector provided on both sides, and by connecting the respective connectors, the continuous bus line is formed and the respective units are integrally connected.

More specifically, the connector comprises a male connector and a female connector, the male connector is provided on one surface of the both surfaces, and the female connector is provided on the other surface of the both surfaces. This is the configuration provided.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Preferred embodiments of a unit type control device according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The same or equivalent parts as those in the conventional example will be described using the same reference numerals. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a unit type control device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view from the front side. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a control device, and the control device 1
0 is, for example, four box-shaped first to fourth units 3,
It is composed of 4, 5, and 7.

First to fourth substrates 12, 13 having various electronic components 11 such as electronic circuits in each of the units 3 to 7,
14 and 15 are provided inside, and the first to fourth connectors 16, 17, 18, and 19 are provided on the respective boards 12 to 15. Each of the connectors 16 to 19 includes a board 12 to
First to fourth female connectors 16a to 19a provided on one side 12a to 15a of the first side 15 and the other side 12 of the boards 12 to 15
First to fourth male connectors 16b provided on the b to 15b side
.About.19b. The female connectors 16a to 19a and the male connectors 16b to 19b
Are provided in a state where they are displaced from each other in plan view on both sides of each substrate 12 to 15. When the units 3 to 7 are coupled to each other, the female connectors 17a to 19a are provided.
a and the male connectors 16b to 18b are coupled to each other. Although each of the female connectors 16a to 19a described above has a well-known concave pin, the male connectors 16b to 19b are not shown,
It has a well-known protruding pin.

When the above-mentioned units 3, 4, 5 and 7 are integrally formed by connecting the connectors 16 to 19 to each other (shown in FIG. 2), the connectors 16 to 19 are connected to the board 12 respectively.
To 15 and are electrically coupled to each connector 16 to 1.
9 constitutes a bus line 2 similar to the conventional one.
In addition, in the above-mentioned structure, although four pieces were described, an arbitrary number of units can be combined.

[0010]

Since the unit type control device according to the present invention is constructed as described above, the following effects can be obtained. That is, by connecting the female connector and the male connector provided in each unit, the units are integrally connected, and the bus line is formed by the connection of the connectors. Therefore, a conventional motherboard is used. Instead, an arbitrary number of units can be freely combined. In addition, since the bus line is formed by the connector, it is possible to reduce the influence of the disturbance as compared with the conventional bus line.
