Description

CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a connector assembly, and more particularly, to a connector assembly having improved connection structure between two connectors.

A connector is an electronic component that electrically connects a power source and a device, a device and a device, or an internal unit of a device.

There are several types of connectors, depending on the shape and connection method, such as connecting cables and inserting them directly into the PCB.

Generally, a connector assembly has a structure in which a so-called socket connector having a female terminal and a so-called plug connector having a terminal can be coupled to transmit an electrical signal. There are various types of connectors, such as circular, round, rectangular, coaxial, and RF connectors, and DIN connectors.

Various effects can be obtained by providing connectors to various electric devices. For example, if a connector is provided in advance in an electronic component, it is possible to easily increase the number of components and add accessories, and in the event of a failure, it is easy to take out a faulty portion from the connector portion and repair or replace. In addition, it is easy to assemble the parts separately, and the connector can be assembled simply by assembling the whole, so that the production process of the device is shortened.

Therefore, in designing various electronic devices, it is very important to select a connector for connecting the configuration module. The designer should select the appropriate connector considering costs, installation and tools, reliability, and maintenance.

Figure 1 shows a conventional connector assembly.

The connector assembly shown in Fig. 1 is composed of a first connector 10 and a second connector 20. The first connector 10 has a structure in which a housing 12 made of a synthetic resin material forms an exoskeleton and terminals (not shown) made of a metal material are provided in the housing 12. On one side of the outer surface of the housing 12, there is provided a locking lever 14 having a hook 16 at one end.

The second connector 20 includes a housing 22 formed of a synthetic resin material and an outer skeleton formed in the housing 22 and having a terminal for electrically connecting the terminal of the first connector 10 to the inside of the housing 22 Structure. On one side of the outer surface of the housing 22, a hooking hood 24 corresponding to the fastening lever 14 of the first connector 10 is provided.

In such a conventional connector assembly, the tip of the first connector 10 is inserted into the second connector 20 so that electrical connection is established between the first connector 10 and the second connector 20. At this time, the fastening lever 14 passes through the hooking hood 24 and the hooking jaw 16 is hooked on the hooking hood 24, so that the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are kept in a tightly coupled state .

In order to release the engagement between the first connector 10 and the second connector 20, the user manually presses the middle of the clamping lever 14 to release the hooking jaw 16 from the hooking hood 24, The first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are separated by pulling the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 in opposite directions.

However, in the conventional connector assembly, when the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are engaged or disengaged, the user holds the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 by hand, Push or pull away from each other. Therefore, it is not easy to join or separate these connectors 10 and 20 in a narrow space or gap.

When the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are separated from each other, the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 must be pulled in directions opposite to each other at the same time that the clamping lever 14 is pressed, This is very cumbersome.

The first terminal portion 116 may slide toward the insertion groove 112 of the first housing 111 so that a portion of the first terminal portion 116 may protrude into the insertion groove 112. The first terminal portion 116 contacts the inner surface of the first housing 111, so that the first terminal portion 116 can move linearly only in the forward and backward direction, and other movement is restricted.

At one end of the first housing 111, a pair of latching protrusions 118 are provided. These latching projections 118 are disposed so as to extend in the sliding engagement direction of the second connector 120 with respect to the first connector 110. [ The locking protrusion 118 is for restricting the forward and backward movement of the second connector 120 with respect to the first connector 110 after the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are coupled, A detailed description will be given later.

A stopper mounting groove 119 for mounting the stopper 150 is provided on one side of the first housing 111. The stopper mounting groove 119 is opened to the outside of the first housing 111 and the insertion groove 112. [

2, the second connector 120 includes a second housing 121 formed of an insulating material and a second terminal portion 122 disposed on the inner side of the second housing 121. As shown in FIG. The second terminal portion 122 has at least one terminal (not shown) made of a conductive material so as to be electrically connected to the first terminal portion 116 of the first connector 110. And a second cable 123 is connected to the second terminal portion 122. [ The second cable 123 may extend outside the second housing 121 and may be connected to various electrical devices.

The second connector 120 is engaged with the first connector 110 by sliding the second housing 121 into the insertion groove 112 from the side of the first housing 111 of the first connector 110. [ When the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are engaged with each other, the second connector 120 is guided by the pair of locking projections 118 of the first connector 110, As shown in FIG. After the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are coupled to each other, the second housing 121 of the second connector 120 is hooked on the latching protrusion 118 of the first connector 110, 120 to the first connector 110 is limited. That is, the second connector 120 can move in the lateral direction of the first connector 110 while being inserted into the insertion groove 112 of the first connector 110, It can not move in the slide direction of the slide member 116.

2 to 5, the terminal unit transfer unit 130 includes a guide protrusion 131 provided on the first terminal portion 116 of the first connector 110 and a guide protrusion 131 provided on the first housing 110 of the first connector 110 111).

The linear movement distance of the guide protrusion 131 and the first terminal portion 116 can be determined according to the rotation angle of the rotation plate 132. [ Therefore, the cam slot 133 can be appropriately designed to change the linear movement distance of the guide protrusion 131 and the second terminal portion 122 according to the rotation angle of the rotation plate 132. [ The direction of movement of the guide protrusion 131 and the first terminal portion 116 may be changed according to the rotation direction of the rotation plate 132 according to the structure of the cam slot 133. [

The terminal unit transfer unit 130 is operated by the operation lever 140. 2 to 7, the operation lever 140 is installed on the outer surface of the first housing 111 of the first connector 110 so as to move by the user's operation and operate the terminal unit transfer unit 130 . The operation lever 140 can be rotated with the connection shaft 134 as a rotation center axis by engaging with the connection shaft 134 coupled with the rotation plate 132. The user can operate the operation lever 140 to rotate the rotary plate 132 in the forward direction or the reverse direction.

At one end of the operation lever 140, a stopper insertion groove 141 is provided. The stopper insertion groove 141 is provided for engagement of the stopper 150 for restraining the rotation of the operation lever 140.

The stopper 150 is made of an elastically deformable material and is elastically supported by the first housing 111 of the first connector 110. The stopper 150 includes an elastic deforming portion 151 coupled to the first housing 111 and a locking portion 152 protruding outward from the first housing 111 at an end of the elastic deforming portion 151 . One end of the elastic deforming portion 151 is fixed to the first housing 111 and the other end of the elastic deforming portion 151 is free. The elastic deforming portion 151 is formed of a leaf spring structure bent several times, and can be compressively deformed under an external force. The engaging portion 152 is engaged with the free end of the elastic deforming portion 151 and can protrude outward into the stopper mounting groove 119 or retreat into the stopper mounting groove 119 in accordance with the movement of the elastic deforming portion 151 .

6, the stopper 150 protrudes from the outer surface of the first housing 111 and is inserted into the stopper insertion groove 141 of the operation lever 140 to rotate the operation lever 140 Do not let me. That is, the operation lever 140 can not be rotated by engaging the stopper 150 with the stopper 150 in a state where the stopper 150 is inserted into the stopper insertion groove 141. When the stopper 150 is inserted into the stopper insertion groove 141 It can be rotated only when it is off.

The stopper 150 can be released from the operation lever 140 by the unlocking projection 160 provided in the second connector 120. [ The locking releasing protrusion 160 is protruded forward at the end of the second housing 121 of the second connector 120. 7, when the second connector 120 enters the insertion groove 112 of the first connector 110, the locking release projection 160 is inserted into the stopper installation groove (not shown) of the first connector 110 119, thereby pressing the stopper 150. At this time, the resiliently deformed portion 151 of the stopper 150 is elastically deformed, whereby the engaging portion 152 of the stopper 150 retreats into the stopper mounting groove 119. When the stopper 150 is retracted and moves away from the operation lever 140, the operation lever 140 is in a state of being rotatable by the user.

Hereinafter, the operation of the connector assembly 100 according to the present embodiment will be described.

When the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are electrically connected to each other, the second housing 121 of the second connector 120 is inserted from the side of the second housing 121 of the first connector 110 And inserted into the groove 112. At this time, the end of the second housing 121 is in contact with the latching protrusion 118 of the first housing 111, and the second connector 120 is inserted into the insertion groove 112 of the first connector 110 along the latching protrusion 118 ) In the case of a nonwoven fabric. When the second connector 120 is inserted into the insertion groove 112 of the first connector 110, the second housing 121 of the second connector 120 is inserted into the engagement protrusion 118 of the first connector 110, The forward movement of the second connector 120 with respect to the first connector 110 is restricted.

6, when the second connector 120 enters the insertion groove 112 of the first connector 110, the locking release projection 160 coupled to the second connector 120 is inserted into the insertion groove 112 of the first connector 110, Toward the stopper mounting groove 119 of the stopper plate 110. 8, when the second connector 120 is completely inserted into the insertion groove 112 of the first connector 110, the locking releasing projection 160 is inserted into the stopper mounting groove 119. As shown in Fig. The lock releasing protrusion 160 inserted into the stopper mounting groove 119 presses the stopper 150 to compress the resiliently deformed portion 151 of the stopper 150. [ At this time, the engaging portion 152 of the stopper 150 inserted into the stopper insertion groove 141 of the operation lever 140 is disengaged from the operation lever 140, and the operation lever 140 becomes rotatable.

When the second connector 120 is completely inserted into the insertion groove 112 of the first connector 110 and the operation lever 140 is rotatable, the first terminal portion 116 of the first connector 110, The second terminal portions 122 of the second connector 120 face each other. 9, when the user rotates the operation lever 140, the rotation plate 132 of the terminal unit transfer unit 130 rotates in conjunction with the operation lever 140. [ The guide protrusion 131 coupled to the first terminal portion 116 receives an external force from the rotation plate 132 and moves along the cam slot 133 of the rotation plate 132 when the rotation plate 132 rotates. At this time, the guide protrusion 131 and the first terminal portion 116 are advanced toward the second terminal portion 113 of the second connector 110. The first terminal portion 116 is partially inserted into the second terminal portion 122 (or the second terminal portion 122 is partially inserted into the first terminal portion 116) The terminal of the terminal portion 122 is connected and the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are electrically connected.

In this state, when the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are electrically connected, the user rotates the operation lever 140 in the opposite direction so that the electrical connection between the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 Can be simply disconnected. That is, when the user rotates the operation lever 140 in the opposite direction, the rotation plate 132 rotates together with the operation lever 140 so that the guide projection 131 receives an external force from the rotation plate 132, (Not shown). At this time, the first terminal portion 116 of the first connector 110 slides in a direction away from the second terminal portion 122 and is separated from the second terminal portion 122.

After the electrical connection between the first terminal portion 116 of the first connector 110 and the second terminal portion 122 of the second connector 120 is cut off, the user inserts the second connector 120 into the first connector 110, The second connector 120 can be separated from the first connector 110 by pulling the second connector 120 in the lateral direction. When the second connector 120 is released from the first connector 110, the lock releasing protrusion 160 is released from the stopper mounting groove 119 of the first connector 110. [ At this time, the stopper 150 is elastically restored to the original state, and the stopper 150 of the stopper 150 is advanced toward the operation lever 140 and inserted into the stopper insertion groove 141 of the operation lever 140. The engaging portion 152 of the stopper 150 is inserted into the stopper inserting groove 141 so that the operating lever 140 is caught by the stopper 150 and can not rotate. When the second connector 120 is detached from the first connector 110, the operation lever 140 can not be operated and the first terminal portion 116 of the first connector 110 is connected to the first housing 111, As shown in Fig.
