Description

에어백용 커넥터{Connector in Air Bag}Connector for Air Bag {Connector in Air Bag}

본 발명은 커넥터에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 차량의 에어백용 커넥터에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a connector, and more particularly to an airbag connector of a vehicle.

일반적으로, 자동차의 접촉사고시 운전자나 탑승자는 자동차 실내에서 발생되는 충격에 의하여 부상을 당하거나 생명을 잃게 되는데, 이와 같은 자동차의 접촉사고시 인명을 보호하기 위한 장치로서 에어백이 장착되어 사용되고 있다.In general, in the event of a contact accident of a vehicle, a driver or a passenger is injured or loses life by an impact generated in a vehicle interior, and an airbag is used as a device for protecting a human life during such a contact accident of a vehicle.

이와 같이 에어백을 비롯한 고가장비에는 커넥터가 설치되어 있는바, 자동차 충돌여부를 검출하기 위한 충격센서와 에어백 및 배터리 전원, 그리고 전자 제어장치 등을 전기적으로 연결시키기 위한 것이고, 암 커넥터와 수 커넥터로서 한 쌍을 이루는 것이 일반적이다.In this way, airbags and other expensive equipment are equipped with connectors. They are used to electrically connect impact sensors, airbags, battery power, and electronic control devices to detect vehicle collisions. Pairing is common.

도 1은 종래의 에어백용 커넥터를 나타낸 도면으로서, 숫 커넥터(110)를 화살표 방향으로 암 커넥터(120) 내부에 밀어넣고, 이때 암 커넥터(120) 내부의 스프링(미도시)의 수축 및 복원에 의해 숫 커넥터(110)가 암 커넥터(120)에 체결되게 된다.1 is a view showing a conventional airbag connector, the male connector 110 is pushed into the female connector 120 in the direction of the arrow, at this time to the contraction and restoration of the spring (not shown) inside the female connector 120 By doing so, the male connector 110 is fastened to the female connector 120.

하지만, 종래의 에어백용 커넥터에서 숫 커넥터(110)와 암 커넥터(120)의 분리시 숫 커넥터(110)의 슬라이딩 되는 부분의 면적이 작아서 손으로 누르기 어렵고 암 커넥터(120)로부터 숫 커넥터(110)를 분리해내는 데 상당한 어려움이 있었다.However, in the conventional airbag connector, when the male connector 110 and the female connector 120 are separated, the area of the sliding portion of the male connector 110 is small and difficult to press by hand. There was a significant difficulty in separating them.

본 발명은 상기한 바와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로서, 분리 및 체결이 용이한 에어백용 커넥터를 제공하는 데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the problems as described above, and an object thereof is to provide a connector for an airbag that can be easily separated and fastened.

이와 같은 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명은, 전면에 락킹돌기가 형성된 숫 커넥터와; 서로 대향되어 내부 스프링에 의해 수축 및 복원되는 제1, 제2 하우징을 포함하고, 상기 제1 하우징의 측면에는 상기 락킹돌기와 교차되는 방향으로 상기 락킹돌기가 안착되는 락킹홈 및 상기 숫 커넥터의 체결시 상기 락킹돌기가 상기 락킹홈에 안착되도록 안내하는 락킹가이드가 형성된 암 커넥터를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 하는 에어백용 커넥터를 제공한다.The present invention for achieving the above object, the male connector with a locking projection formed on the front; A first and second housings opposed to each other and contracted and restored by an inner spring, and the locking grooves on which the locking protrusions are seated in a direction intersecting the locking protrusions on the side of the first housing and the male connector It provides an airbag connector, characterized in that it comprises a female connector with a locking guide for guiding the locking projection is seated in the locking groove.

이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명에 의하면, 에어백용 커넥터의 체결 및 분리시 눌러지는 면적을 크게 함으로써, 에어백용 커넥터의 암 커넥터와 숫 커넥터를 손쉽게 체결 및 분리할 수 있고, 이에 따라 사용자의 작업성을 개선하는 효과가 있다.As described above, according to the present invention, by increasing the area to be pressed when the airbag connector is fastened and detached, the female connector and the male connector of the airbag connector can be easily fastened and separated, thereby improving the user's workability. There is an effect to improve.

이하, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 첨부된 도면들을 참조하여 상세히 설명한다. 또한, 본 발명을 설명함에 있어, 관련된 공지 구성 또는 기능에 대한 구체적인 설명이 본 발명의 요지를 흐릴 수 있다고 판단되는 경우에는 그 상세한 설명은 생략한다.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, in describing the present invention, when it is determined that the detailed description of the related well-known configuration or function may obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

실시예Example

도 2는 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 따른 에어백용 커넥터를 나타낸 사시도이다.2 is a perspective view showing an airbag connector according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

도 2를 참조하면, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 따른 에어백용 커넥터는 전면에 락킹돌기(212)가 형성된 숫 커넥터(210)와; 서로 대향되어 내부 스프링(30)에 의해 수축 및 복원되는 제1, 제2 하우징(10, 20)을 포함하고, 제1 하우징(10)의 측면에는 락킹돌기(212)와 교차되는 방향으로 락킹돌기(212)가 안착되는 락킹홈(12) 및 숫 커넥터(210)의 체결시 락킹돌기(212)가 락킹홈(12)에 안착되도록 안내하는 락킹가이드(14)가 형성된 암 커넥터(220)를 포함한다.Referring to Figure 2, the airbag connector according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is a male connector 210 formed with a locking protrusion 212 on the front; The first and second housings 10 and 20 are opposed to each other and contracted and restored by the inner spring 30, and the locking protrusions in a direction intersecting with the locking protrusions 212 on the side of the first housing 10. And a female connector 220 having a locking guide 14 for guiding the locking protrusion 212 to be seated in the locking groove 12 when the locking groove 12 and the male connector 210 are seated. do.

본 발명에 따른 암 커넥터(220)의 제1 하우징(10)의 측면에는 숫 커넥터(210)의 체결 및 분리시 락킹돌기(212)가 락킹홈(12)으로부터 결합 또는 분리되는 걸림턱(16)이 형성되어 있다. 이때, 암 커넥터(220)의 내부 스프링(30)이 최대로 수축됨으로써, 숫 커넥터(210)의 체결시에는 암 커넥터(220)에 숫 커넥터(210)를 확실히 고정시킬 수 있고, 숫 커넥터(210)의 분리시에는 암 커넥터(220)로부터 숫 커넥터(210)를 손쉽게 분리할 수 있다.On the side of the first housing 10 of the female connector 220 according to the present invention, the locking projection 16 is coupled or separated from the locking groove 12 when the locking projection 212 when the male connector 210 is fastened and separated. Is formed. At this time, since the inner spring 30 of the female connector 220 is contracted to the maximum, the male connector 210 can be firmly fixed to the female connector 220 when the male connector 210 is fastened, and the male connector 210 can be secured. ), The male connector 210 can be easily separated from the female connector 220.

도 3은 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 따른 에어백용 커넥터의 암 커넥터와 숫 커넥터의 체결 과정을 설명하기 위한 도면이다.3 is a view for explaining the fastening process of the female connector and the male connector of the airbag connector according to an embodiment of the present invention.

도 3을 참조하면, 숫 커넥터(210)가 암 커넥터(220) 내부에 삽입된다(S310).Referring to FIG. 3, the male connector 210 is inserted into the female connector 220 (S310).

암 커넥터(220)를 위에서 아랫방향으로 누르면, 숫 커넥터(210)의 락킹돌 기(212)와 암 커넥터(220)의 락킹가이드(14)가 접촉하면서 락킹돌기(212)가 락킹가이드(14)를 따라 슬라이딩된다(S320).When the female connector 220 is pushed downward, the locking protrusion 212 of the male connector 210 and the locking guide 14 of the female connector 220 come into contact with each other while the locking protrusion 212 is locked. Slid along the (S320).

이어서, 암 커넥터(220)의 걸림턱(16)까지 암 커넥터(220)가 아래로 내려오고 암 커넥터(220)의 내부 스프링(30)은 최대로 수축된다(S330).Subsequently, the female connector 220 descends to the locking projection 16 of the female connector 220 and the inner spring 30 of the female connector 220 is contracted to the maximum (S330).

끝으로, 암 커넥터(220)의 내부 스프링(30)이 복원되고 락킹돌기(212)가 락킹홈(12)에 안착되어 숫 커넥터(210)는 암 커넥터(220)에 체결된다(S340).Finally, the inner spring 30 of the female connector 220 is restored and the locking protrusion 212 is seated in the locking groove 12 so that the male connector 210 is fastened to the female connector 220 (S340).

도 4는 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 따른 에어백용 커넥터의 암 커넥터와 숫 커넥터의 분리 과정을 설명하기 위한 도면이다.4 is a view for explaining a separation process of the female connector and the male connector of the airbag connector according to an embodiment of the present invention.

도 4를 참조하면, 엄지 손가락을 이용하여 제1 하우징(10)의 측면을 화살표 방향으로 누른다(S410). 이때, 눌러지는 면적이 기존의 숫 커넥터에서 눌러지는 면적보다 더 넓어서 사용자가 보다 편리하게 암 커넥터(220)로부터 숫 커넥터(210)를 분리할 수 있다.Referring to FIG. 4, the side of the first housing 10 is pressed in the direction of an arrow by using a thumb (S410). In this case, the pressed area is wider than the pressed area in the existing male connector, so that the user can more conveniently detach the male connector 210 from the female connector 220.

이어서, 내부 스프링(30)이 최대로 수축되면서 암 커넥터(220)의 락킹홈(12)에 있던 락킹돌기(212)가 걸림턱(16) 방향으로 움직이게 된다(S420).Subsequently, as the inner spring 30 is contracted to the maximum, the locking protrusion 212 in the locking groove 12 of the female connector 220 is moved in the direction of the locking step 16 (S420).

이어서, 락킹돌기(212)가 락킹가이드(14)를 따라 서서히 움직이게 되고(S430), 숫 커넥터(210)는 암 커넥터(220)로부터 완전히 분리된다(S440).Subsequently, the locking protrusion 212 gradually moves along the locking guide 14 (S430), and the male connector 210 is completely separated from the female connector 220 (S440).
