Description

Fuse Insertion Connector

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle connector, and more particularly, to a fuse having connector that can be automatically disconnected when an electrical short occurs to prevent damage to electronic equipment due to a short.

The vehicle is equipped with a plurality of electrical equipment, such electronic equipment is a plurality of wires are electrically interconnected, the operation is performed, various types of wire connection connectors are used for the electrical connection of each wire.

Typically, such a wire connection connector is composed of a female member and a male member each having a terminal to which the wire is fitted and easily detachable from each other, respectively combining the female member and the male member having different wire terminals fitted thereto. It is comprised so that two different wires may be electrically couple | bonded.

However, since such a connector has only a function of electrically connecting wires, when a wire of a vehicle is connected by such a connector, a short circuit between wires may occur, such as a traffic accident, causing damage to electronic equipment connected to the shorted wire. There is a problem. In particular, when a short occurs in the wire connected between the battery terminal and the fuse of the vehicle, there is a problem that increases the damage of the traffic accident by generating a fire.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the present invention is to prevent the damage of the electronic equipment due to the short between the wires and the occurrence of fire by shorting the connector connected to the shorted wire, when the short between the wires. It is an object of the present invention to provide a fuse insert connector.

It characterized by having a.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings a preferred embodiment of the fuse-insertable connector according to the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is an exploded perspective view of a fuse insert connector according to an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention includes a female member 10, a male member 20, a fuse terminal 30 and a locking means. It is composed.

The arm member 10 has a first communication hole (10a) is formed in the inner center in the longitudinal direction, both ends of the wire coupling portion 11 and the detachable portion 12, respectively, the detachable portion 12 The cover body 12b is formed to have a narrower width than the wire coupling part 11 and at the same time a part of the upper surface of the detachable part 12 is cut off and the cover body 12b is hingedly coupled to the detachable part 12. Is opened so that a part of the first communication hole 10a can be exposed.

A first terminal 13 formed at one end of the holder 13a into which the wire terminal t1 is fitted and the other end formed of the coupling terminal 13b is fixedly mounted to the first communication hole 10a. . At this time, the holder (13a) is located at the end of the first communication hole (10a) of the wire coupling portion 11 side so that the wire terminal t1 can be inserted into the holder (13a) from the wire coupling portion 11 side. At the same time, the coupling terminal 13b is mounted to be positioned at a predetermined lower portion of the lid 12b, so that a part of the first communication hole 10a exposed when the lid 12b is opened is located. It is configured to be in the unfilled state by the first terminal 13.

The fuse terminal 30 is a member that is disconnected when overcurrent is configured to form coupling terminals 30a and 30b at both terminals, respectively, in the state in which the coupling terminal 30a is connected to the coupling terminal 13b. The coupling terminal 30b is mounted to be located at the end of the first communication hole 10a of the detachable part 12 side, so that the fuse terminal 30 is exposed when the cover body 12b is opened. do.

The male member 20 has a second communication hole 20a formed in an inner center thereof in the longitudinal direction, and a wire coupling portion 21 is formed at one end thereof, and the detachable portion 12 is formed at the other end thereof in the longitudinal direction. It is configured to be formed in the removable groove portion 22 is inserted in close contact with the. At this time, the detachable groove 22 and the second communication hole 20a are in communication with each other, and the first communication hole 10a and the coupling when the detachable portion 12 and the detachable groove 22 are combined. The second communication hole 20a is configured to communicate with each other.

In addition, a second terminal 23 having one end formed of a holder 23b into which the wire terminal T2 is fitted and the other end formed of a coupling terminal 23a is fixedly mounted to the second communication hole 20a. .

At this time, the holder 23b is positioned at the end of the second communication hole 20a on the wire coupling portion 21 so that the wire terminal T2 can be inserted into the holder 23b from the wire coupling portion 21 side. At the same time, the coupling terminal 23a is mounted to protrude from the second communication hole 20a into the detachable groove part 22 so that the fuse at the time of coupling the detachable part 12 and the detachable groove part 22 to each other. The coupling terminal 30b of the dragon terminal 30 and the coupling terminal 23a of the second terminal 23 are configured to be interconnected.

The locking means is a means for locking the combination of the detachable portion 12 and the detachable groove portion 22, various types of locking means may be used, and as shown, simply, the removable groove portion A coupling hole 22a is formed on one side of the 22, and when the detachable part 12 and the detachable groove part 22 are coupled to each other, an obstacle is formed on the outer surface of the detachable part 12 corresponding to the coupling hole 22a. By forming the group 12a, the detachable portion 12 coupled to the detachable groove portion 22 may be fixed by the coupling of the coupling hole 22a and the locking protrusion 12a. Although FIG. 1 illustrates a fuse insert type connector that can connect four different pairs of wire terminals, the number of wire terminals that can be connected by the connector may be variously changed by changing the shape of the connector.

By the above configuration, the wire terminal T1 is coupled to the wire coupling portion 11 side of the arm member 10 mounted in a state where the first terminal 13 and the fuse terminal 30 are connected, After coupling the wire terminal T2 to the wire coupling portion 21 side of the male member 20 on which the second terminal 23 is mounted, the detachable portion 12 and the male member of the female member 10 ( When the detachable groove 22 of the 20 is coupled, the coupling terminal 30b of the fuse terminal 30 and the coupling terminal 23a of the second terminal 23 are connected, whereby the wire terminal T1 and the wire are connected. The terminal T2 is connected via the first terminal 13, the fuse terminal 30, and the second terminal 23. When a short is generated in such a state, the fuse terminal 30 is disconnected due to an overcurrent applied to the fuse terminal 30, thereby automatically blocking the current flowing between the wire terminal T1 and the wire terminal T2. Will be.

After the cause of the disconnection of the fuse terminal 30 is repaired, the detachable portion 12 of the female member 10 is separated from the detachable groove portion 22 of the male member 20. Opening the cover body 12b of the detachable part 12 easily replaces the disconnected fuse terminal 30, and then recombines the female member 10 and the male member 20 as a connector for wire connection. It will be available again.

As can be seen by the above embodiment, by the fuse insert-type connector according to the present invention, when the electrical short occurs, the connector near the short generation is automatically disconnected, it is possible to prevent damage to the electrical equipment due to the short In addition, when such a connector is connected to the battery output terminal of the vehicle, the output terminal of the battery is disconnected when a short occurs, thereby preventing the occurrence of fire due to the short.

Although the fuse insert-type connector according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and applications will be possible to those skilled in the art.
