1 to 7, the connection guide jig 100 of the connector 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a casing 110, an alignment supporter 120, and a tension maintaining portion 130. .

The casing 110 is open on one side and has a hexahedral shape with a seating groove 112.

Therefore, after the housing 12 of the connector 10 is seated in the seating groove 112 of the casing 110, the terminals 20 to which each wire 22 is connected are inserted into the insertion hole 14 of the housing 12. is inserted one-to-one. A plurality of insertion holes 14 are provided in the housing 12.

At this time, the casing 110 may be fixed to a workbench or the floor.

As a result, the operator can easily insert and assemble the terminal 20 into the housing 12. Of course, the casing 110 can be modified into various shapes and is made of an insulating material.

In particular, the casing 110 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape in plan so as to correspond to the housing 12.

Additionally, the housing 12 may be a male housing or a female housing.

In addition, an align supporter (120) is provided on one open edge of the casing (110) and serves to guide the alignment of the wires (22) connected to each terminal (20) while providing tension.

In addition, the tension maintenance unit 130 aligns the wires 22 connected to each terminal 20 so that they are finished by the finishing member 30 while maintaining the tension on the corresponding terminal 20 within the set value range. The supporter 120 is elastically guided to rotate.

Accordingly, each of the wires 22 is aligned with the align supporter 120 in a state in which tension is applied by the align supporter 120, and the wire (22) extends with its direction changed by the align supporter 120. Since the bundle of 22) is finished by the finishing member 30, when the multiple strands of wire 22 are taped by the finishing member 30, the force pulling directly from the corresponding terminal 20 is not transmitted or As the transmission is minimal, separation or poor contact between the corresponding wires 22 and terminals 20 does not occur. At this time, the finishing member 30 is assumed to be a tape.

In detail, the alignment supporter 120 includes a hinge rib 122, a bridge rib 124, and a support rib 126.

The hinge rib 122 is rotatably inserted into one side of the casing 110 in the longitudinal direction (L). For this purpose, the casing 110 forms a hinge groove 116 on one side of one edge in the longitudinal direction (L). Therefore, the hinge rib 122 can rotate (rotate) in the circumferential direction while being inserted into the hinge groove 116.

And, the bridge rib 124 extends from the hinge rib 122 to be bent toward the upper part of the casing 110. Therefore, the hinge rib 122 is linked to rotation, and the bridge rib 124 rotates. At this time, the bridge rib 124 is integrally or separably coupled to the hinge rib 122 and can be deformed into various shapes.

In addition, the support rib 126 is bent and extended from the bridge rib 124 to be positioned on one open side of the casing 110. Therefore, the support rib 126 supports and guides the plurality of wires 22 extending from each terminal 20 to change direction. Of course, the support rib 126 is integrally or separably coupled to the bridge rib 124 and can be modified into various shapes.

Additionally, the tension maintaining portion 130 includes a compression elastic member 131, a stopper 132, and a cover 133.

The compression elastic member 131 connects the casing 110 and the bridge rib 124 of the align supporter 120. At this time, the compression elastic member 131 is applied as a coil spring in which compressive force always acts in the axial direction, one side along the axial direction is connected to the casing 110 by a fixing member 134, and a hook 135 is provided on the other side. It is connected to the bridge rib 124.

Therefore, the compressive elastic member 131 has a bridge rib 124 rotatably connected to one side in the longitudinal direction (L) of the casing 110 in the other direction with respect to the longitudinal direction (L) of the casing 110. The wires 22 connected to the terminals 20 inserted into the housing 12 are elastically pulled and guided to change direction and extend while applying tension.

That is, as the compressive elastic member 131 pulls the bridge rib 124 toward the other side of the casing 110, the support rib 126 is positioned on the housing 12 and bends the wire 22. It extends in one direction of the housing 12 and guides it to be aligned. Accordingly, when the bundle of wires 22 extending while bent from the bridge rib 124 is finished by the finishing member 30, the tension acting on each wire 22 is bent by the support rib 126. reduced at the location. As a result, the tension acting on each wire 22 is not transmitted to the corresponding terminal 20 or is transmitted to a minimum.

At this time, the align supporter 120 is forcibly rotated in one direction of the casing 110 at the beginning of the finishing process of the wire 22 so that each wire 22 can be easily placed on the support rib 126. do.

Of course, the compressive elastic member 131 can be applied in various ways.

In addition, the stopper 132 serves to limit the rotation range on both sides of the alignment supporter 120, especially the bridge rib 124. This is to ensure that the bridge rib 124 is guided to rotate within an allowable range of the compressive elastic force of the compressive elastic member 131.

In addition, the cover 133 is detachably provided on the corresponding side of the casing 110 to prevent exposure of the compressive elastic member 131. That is, the cover 133 is detachably coupled to the casing 110 by a fastening member 138 to prevent parts of the compressive elastic member 131 and the alignment supporter 120 from being exposed to the outside.

In particular, the casing 110 forms a recessed groove 114 on one side, the compressive elastic member 131 is located inside the recessed groove 114, and the cover 133 is located at the edge of the recessed groove 114. It is detachably coupled to the corresponding casing 110.

Meanwhile, the stopper 132 includes a first limit ledge 136 and a second limit ledge 137.

The first limit ridge 136 protrudes on the side of the casing 110 to limit rotation of the align supporter 120 in one direction, and the second limit ridge 137 restricts rotation of the align supporter 120 in the other direction. It protrudes from the cover 133 to limit it.

That is, the first limit ridge 136 may be naturally formed by the recessed groove 114.

In addition, as the compressive elastic member 131 is located in the recessed groove 114, an increase in volume due to protrusion to the outside of the casing 110 can be prevented.

In addition, the recessed groove 114 of the casing 110 is open on one side in the longitudinal direction (L) to improve the assembly of the compressive elastic member 131, and the second limit ridge 137 of the cover 133 is recessed. It serves to block one open side of the groove 114.

Of course, the first limit ledge 136 and the second limit ledge 137 may have a protrusion shape protruding from one side of the casing 110.

Additionally, the casing 110 may be provided with a locking portion 140 that prevents the housing 12 seated in the seating groove 112 from being separated naturally.

The locking unit 140 may include a locking block 142, a locking pin 144, and a pressure pin 146.

The locking block 142 is detachably coupled to the other side of the casing 110 by a coupling member 143. Additionally, the locking block 142 is provided to partially protrude toward the top of the open casing 110. In addition, the locking block 142 has a communication hole 145 formed in a portion protruding toward the top of the casing 110.

The locking pin 144 is inserted into the communication hole 145 of the locking block 142 and is capable of reciprocating movement in the axial direction. Therefore, the locking pin 144 is advanced and comes into contact with the upper part of the housing 12 seated in the seating groove 112 of the casing 110. As a result, the housing 12 is fixed without being arbitrarily separated from the casing 110.

Of course, when the locking pin 144 retracts in the axial direction, the housing 12 can be separated from the casing 110.

In addition, the pressing pin 146 is inserted from the upper or peripheral surface of the locking block 142 and presses the locking pin 144 inserted into the communication hole 145. When the pressing pin 146 presses the peripheral surface of the locking pin 144, the locking pin 144 is prevented from arbitrarily moving in the axial direction. At this time, the pressure pin 146 may be simply inserted into the locking block 142 or may be screwed together.

The present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but these are merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications and other equivalent embodiments are possible therefrom. You will understand. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the claims below.
